i run a cubietruck on armbian with 4.6.2 kernel. it starts with the software on mmcblk0p1 (with kernel 4.6.2 and the /lib dir on the sd) but uses as root a partition of the ssd. when i upgrade now, i see that the upgrade process produces a new initrd.img-4.6.3 and removes the old 4.6.2. (diagnosis: the system runs, but the keyboard/mouse connected to the usb is not functional - desktop over net works!) i assume that there is something wrong with the boot.cmd - but i do not see exactly how to fix it. the upgrade process uses the ssd .../lib directory and removes 4.6.2 there. if i would mount the /boot directory with the running system (in fstab) - would this hel…

Hello, actually it was not the first time the upgrade failed on this board: - upgrade 5.11 to 5.15 -> returned successfull - reboot - at boot system can not find file: sun6i-a31s-bananapi-m2.dtb (file sun6i-a31s-sinovoip-bpi-m2.dtb for BPi M2 is available) - fixed it by linking to the existing device tree blob sun6i-a31s-sinovoip-bpi-m2.dtb - reboot again - no network (my /etc/network/interfaces has been set to armbian default, same as /etc/network/interfaces.default, this happened the first time) fixed it again by setting the correct content I don't know if the upgrade process is the problem or if there is something messed up on my board... Now ev…

Greeting, I installed the OrangePI plus image (desktop) on my Orange PI plus2. It seems to work fine but I can't get any video output. I tested with several h3disp settings, with a HDMI to VGA adapter then with an HDMI to DVI adapter, and finally on the A/V port. I have no hdmi screen to test direct connection without adapters. Ideally I would like to use the HDMI to VGA adapter. any ideas ?

Looking for some guidance on how to play mp4/h264 files from the command line.......tried numerous method but not getting any joy (mplayer / mpv). Any definitive guide out there or help appreciated......pulling my hair out with this

Dear Forum, First of all thank you for being a member here. Second is that I would need some help on selecting an image for my present CT board. I need the followings: 1. hostapd with dnsmasq 2. g_mass_storage 3. sata 4.spidev or equivalent Preferably: 3. I would need free up SD card slot, so nand or SATA boot would be preferred. Which image is the best for me even if I need to recompile it? Thank you in advance.

Hi, After the new update, the BLUE LED on the nanoPI M1 is not being used anymore. Cheers,

Hi, today I want to tell you, that I am very much upset about the result of the latest ARMBIAN Update! After updating I figured out, that the latest update erased my bash.bashrc.custom, which took me a long time to set it right! Unfortunate I did not have a backup! I am very much upset, that an armbian update erases configuration files WITHOUT any further notices!!! Regards, Ireng

Hi, first post here, so a bit of context: I have owned my Orange Pi PC for a while and have it set up running the latest Armbian with legacy kernel, serving files over AFP and SMB on the local network and running a Transmission daemon. I set it up with the desktop image but followed the instructions in the documentation to remove the desktop environment etc. I believe that this has left the VDPAU and Cedrus related files intact. As I am using it as a media server I thought it would be interesting to leverage the H3's capabilities of encoding H.264 to convert old DivX files into a more modern format, but none of the solutions I have found for this work correctly. It seems…

Hi All! Legacy kernel says: "Enabled audio devices: analog, 8 channel HDMI, spdif and I2S (if wired and enabled in HW configuration)" But there is no multi channel device listed in aplay -L , like surround51, surround71, etc. With "speaker-test -D default:sunxisndhdmi -c 6 -t wav", We got a downmixed stereo result. Receiver device is a BEM-182 Broadcast Monitor on its HDMI input - only 2 VU-meter band appears. Other test setup is the same receiver in SDI input mode with an HDMI to SDI converter. Specs of this adapter declares that it supports 8 channel, and this time 8 VU-meter band appears on the monitor so device is ready to receive multi-channel audio, but…

I received my Pi Pc plus today which is strange because I thought I ordered the Pi pc. I downloaded the armbian Jessie desktop and used 7zip to extract it to the sd card. It will not load off the card. It would not load raspbian for the raspberry Pi. What it is doing is loading android whether the sd card is inserted or not. Can anyone offer suggestions to try? OS downloaded from here: http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/ It has emmc I can't even make some of the things work on android.??

Hello list, a big thank you to all the developers of Armbian. I am a newbie to arm boards, have limited experience with various linuxes and definitely not enough know-how to progam anything or to compile kernels or build images, and things like u-boots are warships for me. Without your great software images my cubietruck would probably have been an investment into electronic scrap! A short user-feedback: Why does a normal consumer want to use a cubieboard? To use my favorite .mp3-player attached via SPDIF to his stereo equipment, play music from a harddisk and control it via VNC-Client from a tablet (because I don't want to use an 80 W TV to contro…

Hi, I just joined up so I'm an extreme newbie here. I'm running the legacy trusty version of Armbian just downloaded. The HDMI display and USB ports are working fine. The Cubieboard2 is showing up in the network. I need to get the SPI interface going to talk to a microcontroller -- an STM32F303.

Hi all, yeterday i connected a lipo battery to my cb2, made some stuff and then shut down. Today i've found my battery totally discharged so I started investigating.

Any of you could confirm, please?

I have searched the forum and the internet and am having a lot of trouble finding a guide on how to covert the OTG on my OrangePi One to a USB port. (I am assuming it is possible to do.)

I would also Like to be able to use the OTG as a USB port when I run OpenElec as I would like the second USB to plug in the new Optional Bluetooth dongle. Seasalt

Hi, I started to adjust RPi-Monitor's settings for the Banana Pi a while ago and reworked the whole stuff in the meantime (since it was focused on Banana Pi and some parts were too quick&dirty -- especially temp file handling of the temperature daemon).

Dear all, i just installed a fresh Armbian 4.5 Jessie with Vanilla kernel 4.2.3 on an SD card and booted it on a cubietruck. I did not receive any HDMI output. This did not change after a kernel update to 4.2.5 via apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and a reboot. However, the same cubietruck works flawlessly with Debian Wheezy (2.6 updated to 4.5) and kernel 3.4.110. I checked the boot.cmd script and looked into cubietruck.bin - the standard settings would appear to identify the correct (HD) display resolution and to enable HDMI by default. Do you have any recommendations ? Is there anyone experiencing the same problem ? With kind regards, Lupus …

Hello, i recently installed armbian on my newly bought Lamobo R1. Everything is working fine so far but for the onboard ethernet LEDs, they're not working as expected. The green LED on port 3 of the internal switch (also known as wan port) ist constantly on, no matter if there is a cable plugged in or not. The orange LED is always off. After some trial and error if figured out that on the other 4 ports the green LED, for the specific port, shows the current network traffic (is blinking) if the established connection is 10Base-T. If the connection is 1000Base-T, the orange LED shows the current network traffic and if the connection is 100Base-T no led is on or sh…

Just started with Orange PI PC and I tried to use a KeDei LCD touchscreen V5, since I used with with my Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately the given driver (http://kedei.net/raspberry/raspberry.html) doesn't work with Armbian. Is there support in Armbian for this new (may 2016) LCD touchscreen or do I have to (re)compile the kernel myself? (not knowing where to begin...) Regards, Don

Hello, I've just purchased a PCduino3B. I installed Armbian (Jessie Desktop) on it. Since I've done this I have the issue of the HDMI signal dropping out occasionally. This has happened with 2 different HDMI cables and 2 different monitors (one an actual PC monitor, the other my Panasonic Plasma TV). Has anyone else come across this issue before? Is there anything I can check? Also I'm having trouble getting the wired network to connect using the WICD Network Manager (The Wifi connects OK). Is there anything I can check here? I haven't used Linux for many years and am very rusty on troubleshooting issues. Many thanks in advance for your help. No.42

Hi, when I try to update my core the apt-get install operation fails. This is because the post-installation script creates a symbolic link as the boot partition does not support because she is fat. Also the boot is only possible with a uImage not zImage I think. To compensate I am forced to make a copy instead of the link.

For some days now I have the board mentioned in the subject, the goal is to have a webserver, git server, and maybe lateron something like a mini-personal-cloud for my family. Yesterday me and my brother finally decided which OS to use - and dd-ed the SD card with the Armbian/Debian Vanilla Jessie Server image (Armbian_5.10_Lime2_Debian_jessie_4.5.2). Some hours later after installing apache2 and trying things out I thought it would be a good idea to do an apt-get upgrade for security reasons before exposing the server to "the world". Unfortunately it was not: The device is not booting any longer after the upgrade. This is the log output of /var/log/apt/term.log (I moun…

Maybe this is not strictly related to Orange Pi PC but a few weeks ago I had problems with booting my device - mainly OpenELEC and I had to debug it somehow using serial port and the terminal. Unfortunately my PC is rather far from the place where I keep OPiPC. So I was forced to prepare separate device - cheap STM32 MCU based terminal display with 2.2" LCD screen directly supplied from Orange Pi PC 3.3V. It can be used also with other devices which allow serial console debugging. Watch below videos for more details and the code: Maybe someone finds it useful.

Dear all, we need some help from Banana Pi M2 (not that important), Cubox-i/UDOO and ODROID XU4 users. Please look through this Github issue and also have look how we currently handle IRQ redistribution on various board families (example 1 and example 2) Since irqbalanced on ARM is broken (and if it would work it's often counterproductive) assigning IRQs statically to specific CPU cores increases overall system performance slightly for free. We do this for A20 boards for years (dual core --> sending Ethernet to second CPU core), extended this on H3 boards a few months ago (quad core and somewhat complicated due to the count of different boards exposing diff…

Hi, on my BananaPI I installed this image: Armbian_5.10_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_4.5.2_desktop.raw I followed these instructions: https://searchathing.com/?p=250 to move / to SATA (or USB) and crypt it with LUKS. After all, cat /proc/cpuinfo says, there is only 1 CPU-core. How can I activate the 2nd core? Thanks for your help

Gentlemen, which ports are confirmed to be working with 4.x kernels on Lamobo R1 ? I'm using Ubuntu image 5.10, with installed updates: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS 4.5.5-sunxi. So far, seen only working UART3 (/dev/ttyS1) on pins 8/10 of CON3. U-boot seen on UART0 (J13), but under Linux, don't see anything on either UART0 or UART2. Anyone seen better results ?

Downloaded latest Jessie image for Cubietruck. Loaded to the sd card using instruction on site. When i power CT on, looks like it start booting, all leds are flashing as on normal boot, but screen is black. Please advise what to check, how to debug. Card seems ok, because i can boot other images.

I had working Banana Pi -> I compiled latest kernel (all config were default) and installed it -> Banana Pi did not boot, it was stucked on "Raising network interfaces" -> I downloaded latest image (Debian Jessie) and flashed it on SD card -> Banana Pi still stucked on "Raising network interfaces". Banana Pi is connected via normal cable directly to the router with DHCP. I have also tested cable and router and tried to use different cable. I have not changed anything else.

Hi all, First of all i check the HDMI connection with a raspberry (raspbian) and OrangePi (armbian) and it works on my screen. But on the BPI-M2 dosnt work... i try with Debian Jessie upgraded, with a fresh install outdated of Debian Jessie and i try too Debian Jessie Desktop... No works... I try too with other bpi-m2 board, and the issue stills... So isnt a hardware fail... there are any config or special command tu turn on? I see the boot.src and all apparently are ok. Best regards

I downloaded the jessie 3.34.112 desktop version of Cubieboard1 (Armbian_5.10_Cubieboard_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop), loaded the microSD and got the attached boot which failed. This was captured from the serial console output. The console was being echoed to the HDMI also. On the monitor, I saw the console become the graphics window, with random garbage clearing, then the HDMI signal ended. I had the HDMI, LVDS display, USB wireless keyboard/mouse connected also. FYI boot.fail.zip

I'm currently playing with a Banana Pi M1 + and don't seem to be able to get the GPIO to work. I *think* that I have correctly mapped the IO pins that I am using through the schematic and fex file to find the corrisponding GPIO number for debian. When playing around in /sys/class/gpio I am able to export the GPIO pin that I'm looking for and change it's properties, direction, value etc. However these changes don't seem to appear on the physical IO pins. I noticed that some of the pins that I'm using are shared by UART 2, so I have disabled that in the FEX file but still no luck. I have a feeling that this is probably going to be DTB related, however I'm a …

Have anyone succeeded in installing qmake on OrangePi PC?

Hi I have a cubieboard 2 and i used cubian but now i need to use jessie so i moved to armbian jessie. I try both vanilla et legacy headless img. I have a razberry connected to gpio and i use ethernet cable. For both img, first boot is ok but after i have a big bug at "stop autoboot". I join two picture from the HDMI output. Sometime after several reboot (hard reboot) it works but not well, for example i can't access to ssh and some services don't work anymore, mysql for example. I try different sd card and when i try cubian x1, it works well (but wheezy ) Thank

Morning all, First post here - just got my oPi PC 1.2 with the AllWinner HW chip set up yesterday... Running Jessie headless 5.10, updated to latest (afair, 5.112?). Used the Wget command to try and upgrade the kernal, the blue dos-like UI came up, it checked a few things, then fell down to command prompt, with "Error - unsupported HW". Any thoughts or fixes for this? THX

Hi, I need to use the GPIO of the orange pi, is there a library that i can use to program my aplications in java or python? Is pi4j an good option? Can i use it with orange pi plus 2?

Dear all, I need your help. I've built a fresh pcDuino3 firmware: Armbian 5.14 Pcduino3 -default - Debian 8 Jessie - CLI - Kernel 3.4.112 And now I'm trying to enable UARTs (2, 5 and 6). I've edited script.bin and now I got 4 ttyS devices. Could you please tell me how to "atctivate" those UARTs and which pins shoul I use. I guess that UART2 (ttyS1) uses D0 and D1 pins UART5 (ttyS2) uses SPI0_CS and SPI0_CLK pins UART6 (ttyS3) uses SPI0_MOSI and SPI0_MISO pins Am I right ? And how to enable ttySs? I tried following for the UART2 echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo 25 > /sys/class/gpio/export I attached my fex. file and pcDuino3 schema Unfortu…

Does somebody know if there are any size limitations connecting external USB HDD to Orange Pi One ? I'm thinking to buy a 3TB Seagate Desktop Expansion drive (it's self powered) to set-up my OPi as torrent box (now it's working with 1TB drive, aslo from Seagate). Thank you !

Hi all, I speak with BPI and the A31S chip of bpi-m2, will be change with the quad core H3... If i buy this board we will work with armbian 5.10 of bpi-m2? i need to download and install something for the compatibility with the H3? The idea is migrate the system to H3 Best regards

I am a relatively new Linux user and I currently have a orange pi PC. There are some games not in the official repository I would like to compile. When I do so could I add them to the repository here?

On legacy kernel, Armbian_5.10_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_3.4.112.7z, if I use /boot/script.bin with https://github.com/LeMaker/fex_configuration/raw/master/bin/banana_pi_35lcd.bin, my lcd works properly. But on Vanilla kernel, Armbian_5.10_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_4.5.2.7z, if I change /boot/script.bin with https://github.com/LeMaker/fex_configuration/raw/master/bin/banana_pi_35lcd.bin, my lcd doesn't work. What should I check more?

What are the steps to enable the regular (non-mali) LCD display (lcd0/1) with a Vanilla kernel? I can't find any examples of making the LCD work. What am I missing? Thanks Chris

I keep my Lime2 updated with apt-get update/apt-get upgrade, but it does not upgrade the u-boot, that is still an old version: U-Boot SPL 2015.07-armbian-sun7i (Oct 11 2015 - 17:17:10) DRAM: 1024 MiB CPU: 912000000Hz, AXI/AHB/APB: 3/2/2 Because the network speed is not that fast, I suspect this could be solved with a more recent u-boot.

Hello, my Orange Pi Lite WiFi (RTL 8189FTV) @ armbian 5.13 for OPi Lite works well on 20 MHz WiFi channels however is not usable on 40 MHz channels. The signal strength vary between 79 to 95 % on 20 MHz channel(s) while from -1 to 36 % on 40 MHz channel(s) and the connection is not possible. It seems the driver still needs some more tweak. Other WiFi devices have no problems with 40 MHz. The router I use to connect to is Asus RT-N18U (Broadcom BCM47081A0). Thank you for your efforts vojtvop
