Hello All, I have Orange Pi lite which I would like to use as an Airplay device, I have purchased a DAC of the internet and I am trying to connect it via the i2s protocol, According to this tutorial i need to edit the script.bin file to change the I/O configuration of the board. it was mentioned that this file is found in the boot folder, I have been looking and can find this file absolutely no where. What I have done, I downloaded Armbian, written it to a bootable SD card, mounted the SD card and then setup the orange pi via serial communication, I then connected to my WIFI, and set up SSH. I then logged …

Hi, I'm trying to interface a USB module via the usb pins (USB-DM2 and USB-DP2 - Pin 3 and 4 on the 13-pin header) and powered by the 5V and GND pin (Pin 1 and 2 on the 13-pin header) on the Orange Pi Zero board. During startup/reboot of the Orange Pi Zero, the module fails to get recognised and come up( output of lsusb and dmesg do not show any usb devices). The module, however gets recognised and works fine when plugged out and back in. Are there any extra steps that I have to take in order to make the module get recognised during bootup? Any help regarding the matter would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello If I would like to build a specific Kernel (5.1.15-sunxi64) that I have already made before and just want to add some patches to the kernel, what is the right command? ./compile.sh BOARD=bananapim64 BRANCH=5.1.15y RELEASE=bionic BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no INSTALL_HEADERS=yes

I run Armbian 20.02.1 stable on a zeropi which is used as a wireguard server and spotify direct client (USB to external DAC). Things run very well. Many thanks to everyone involved in keeping Armbian such a great distro! I noticed that when I turn on the ondemand governor the system becomes very unresponsive and music playback is stuttering. When I use the performance governor (even with min and max frequency both set to 480MHz) things run just fine. Most of the time 480MHz will be sufficient, but it would be nice to be able to take advantage of the ondemand governor. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I want to completely disable display subsystem on Orange Pi Zero LTS (Debian 12 (Bookworm) minimal/IoT build 1 oct 2024). I blacklisted the GPU modules (lima, gpu_sched, drm_shmem_helper), but i can't find a way to disable sun4i-drm. Is there a way to disable it completely w/o recompiling the kernel?

Hello, I am new to armbian and am quite impressed of the ease of installation and use. I copied the vanilla headless Debian jessy to a spare SD and the board booted right away. So first of all, many thanks to the developers! I rely on GPIO for my application of the board, so I first tested the export of a GPIO. Normally, the kernel from Olimex gives me something like "gpio64_pg0", which is not very compatible to the programs out in the internet (e.g. OpenHAB.org which I use), so – with this kernel – I was happy to get a standard "gpio1" when echoing "1" to "export". But as soon as I tried to change the direction echo out > gpio1/direction the whole board…

I downloaded "Armbian_5.04_Bananapipro_Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.110_desktop.zip" but after installing I found that it has two basic issues >> (1) Mounting of USB sticks .. (2) No preinstalled classical Network manager .. so I wonder how to connect USB EVDO type modems in absence of network manager ? P.S :- target Board is Banana pi.

Hi, Just flashed latest version to opi plus 2e. But I can't open mpv. When I double click or (right click and play with mpv) a video file I can hear sound of the movie but there is not any gui or video. What could be the problem?

Hi, When Armbian starts loading kernel (just after showing loading kernel), the screen just gets scattered and Cubieboard2 shuts down. The Mainline on the other hand boots without a problem. Can I do something to get more info about what causes the problem, as I would like to be able to run the Legacy 3.4.113 version. The scatter is similar to this image: Thanks!

It looks like there is no hardware accelerated video decoding/encoding on the Banana PI M1 currently (on the server build). Is there any chance to enable it?

Hi, I bought an orangepi zero H5 and I try to setup armbian on sd card. I write the image with etcher but there is no screen display when I boot. I wait long time about 10mn, my card is 16Gb, but no display on my hdmi tv. I test Armbian_5.27_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.0 , and the nightly build Armbian_5.27.170520_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.1 but it is the same story: no display. I test the official Ubuntu from Orangepi there is no problem, the boot is fast and I get display on my tv. Do you have some advice ? Thanks. G*

MPD/MPC is working well, but not sound out. apt shows a up-to-date system. aplay -L shows only pulseaudio server. lsmod : see my attached file lsmod.out. Any idea to bring sound back without any reinstallation? Thanks for for any idea to solve my problem Best regards, Martin

Hi. I am hoping to connect this type of IR receiver to my NanoPi Neo. https://www.jaycar.com.au/arduino-compatible-infrared-receiver-module/p/XC4427 I am hoping that all I need to do is connect 5v, ground and signal to the IR receiver pin to pin 6 on the header. Can anyone help me with the software and what I need to do to install lirc so the IR receiver is recognised? TIA V.

(Edit: it's a red herring for me to worry about swap. Please see a few posts down...) Hello. My NanoPi Neo 2 only has 512MB RAM. I'm using it for OpenMediaVault. It starts swapping very badly (totally paralysing it) when I FTP 60GB worth of tiny files into an attached 500GB SSD SATA drive (attached with the NAS kit). Yes, ProFTPd is RAM-hungry! I know how to create and work with traditional linux swap files. I'm a noob to this whole zram thing, which I suspect is more trouble than it's worth. I would prefer to not use zram, and use a traditional swap file on an attached 6TB 3.5" SATA drive (attached over USB 2.0 with UAS). It's a backup dri…

Hello First, sorry for my English Second, the problem... I have an Orange PI Zero 3, 4gb I install the OS without any problem, the image I use is the following: "Armbian_23.08.0-trunk_Orangepizero3_bookworm_current_6.1.31-1GB-2GB.img" I configure the network with the program "nmtui", everything is fine. I enter through ssh since the screen is not detected through HDMI, I do an apt update and then apt upgrade... everything seems correct, until I do a reboot... my Orange Pi does not start anymore. I am interested in installing openmediavault, that is why I resort to a debian image. What is the problem? I am not using the correct image? I need your help

Sometimes if your monitor is off and olimex start first and after that just monitor is on you will get "default" resolution : ~> cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/virtual_size 1024,768 I've created a script that fix that with recompiling initramfs, adding necessary /lib/firmware/edid/1920x1080.bin file directly into it. Feel free to use, suggestions are welcome. P.S. Please add tags A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 and T2-OLinuXino-LIME2 fix_hdmi_resolution.sh

Hi, I installed 'Armbian_5.00_Bananapim2_Ubuntu_trusty_4.4.1_desktop' image recently, because I had some problems with sinovoip images (strange hugh? ). One of the problems was the gigabit ethernet slowness, but it seems with the armbian OS is still the same. I get around 30Mbit/sec only on iperf tests. I have tested my network connections & router and I can get much more speed through other computers, but the banana shows this slow mark. The gigabit ethernet connection was one of the reasons tu buy the banana, but I don't know if I am doing something wrong, if I have a bad unit, etc... I have found some internet benchmarks but all of them are based on the…

Hello, I tried several times to install debian in eMMC on Lime2, using nand-sata-install, without success, getting with the message : "There are no targets. Please check your drives." Note that on the same board, the official debian image provided by Olimex is working and can be installed in eMMC Checking with "dmesg | grep mmc", I don't find mmcblk1 (only mmcblk0). I tried with 3.4.112 image from armbian (also with 4.5.2). I installed a lot of images on Lime2 in NAND, so I'm not so unexperienced, but I don't understand where I'm wrong (or what I don't know) Thanks for any help ! Regards,

Hi everyone, First of allm thank you for all the stuff on your site / forum, I recently decided to give a try to an orange pi board, and chose the orange pi plus. I have downloaded and installed the raw file of jessie desktop found on the site, and then tried to launch it. At the first startup, I had a message about my ethernet connector, gmac probed... no PHY... and then the process continue, the card shut down. I unplug/plug in the power supply, and then the board correctly boot up, and I was able to log in. The wifi is working fine (I use it now), but I don't have the ethernet connection. The ethernet cable is plug in, my ISP's router has a DHCP server…

I am running ubuntu xenial (legacy version) on my orangepi zero 256Mb version and using it as a web server with light torrenting. The SoC temperature reading in armbianmonitor reaches above 80C easily. When i log in via ssh after boot the temperature reads usually 60-65 C and normal operations easily cross 70C. This is my first SBC so I am not sure if this is normal? Can anyone tell me if these temperature readings are notmal or do i need heatsink to cool down my system? Thanks in advance.

Hello, this is not a big problem, but for me makes a board useless I use orange pi to control ralays thru GPIOs it works flawless on Orange PI PC, PC+, One so I decided to buy Orange PI Lite and I discovered that all gpio are set to high for half a second and then back to low, while unit power up or restarts. Just like an internet router It do that even without a SD card, that points this is coded into U-Boot. Any idea how to fix that?

I have a rtl2838 based DVB-T dongle which was working beautifully under 3.4.112 on my cubietruck. I upgraded a couple of days ago and now I don't get any video data, although the dongle is still recognised. I see 113 includes a fat patch to the rtl2832 driver. Is there some way I can back that out, or a safe way to go back to 112?

Hello all, I bought this OPZ, it was cheap and I was curious. Primarily for a yet-another-headles-server-without-wifi. I am used to different hardware and Debian since "the days You compiled Linux kernel in just 48 hours". I read quite a lot about OPZ and different OS solutions - You have quite a few weeks before You get Your parcel from China to Your mailbox in Sweden. My first SD card I bought from China, it was Kingston 16GB class 10 an all of that. Worked like charm in couple of hours then after reboot it was unreadable. I spent days in search for solution, tried to reformat it in different ways on different machines and using different OS and software combination.…

Hi you all, I have flashed a good, tested and reliable 32GB SD card with the last build for Orange PI Win (armbian 5.38) and when first updating, it stucks in "waiting for headers" for too long. I have read that this is caused in Linux systems because one installs third party software whose repos take long to answer, but since here it is a first and fresh update, with nothing but armbian inside, I ask myself if it is normal or there is a problem with the servers at this moment. Only apt-get update ca take up to 1h 30 min, so it is really an annoying issue. Is anyone out there experiencing the same problem (and hopefully with a solution) ?? Thank you guys!…

Last year I tried the 5.30 and was not happy, as the PI did not give signal to HDMI, when monitor was plugged in while booting. After booting, plug in HDMI cable, picture was on monitor. Now tried the newer Armbian_5.38 on a 2nd Orange PI PC, and I get NO picture / signal on HDMI. Nothing. Have also changed to several resolutions, but no image on monitor or beamer. I have also tried the "DVI adapter option" in the "armbian config". What is wrong with it? I have 2 PI PCs. Same problem on the other PI (now there runs a PI HOLE, as I was not able to get a picture without un-pluging the HDMI cable, so I switched over to a Banana PI M1 for…

Hi, as many did, I've bought a (CSI) OV5647 camera from AliExpress and am struggling to get it to work. Been at it for a week now and am at a loss. So i'm trying to get some clarification via this thread on how to get this camera to work. What I've done so far is to compile a mainline kernel (Ubuntu Bionic) and edited the kernel config file to include sun6i_csi and ov5647 driver. Build finishes successfully and am able to boot and load the drivers Unfortunately the OV5647 isn't recognized and /dev/video0 isn't created. Second build included a userpatch I've found online which i applied to no avail to the kernel https…

After along time I downloaded a new armbian image, after doing apt update/upgrade for the last year or so. I was quite surprised to see that the pcduino3nano is now deprecated, while other A20 boards are still supported. What was the exact reason that the pcduino3nano was dropped from support? If I keep using the deprecated OS, can I fully use apt update/upgrade for all user stuff? What would happen to all kernel and u-boot update packages? Is the latest armbian for the pcduino3nano automatically disabling those updates, or do I need to do something manually? *should* I block kernel & u-boot updates? thanks, Michale Jasson

Hi, I just got a NanoPi Neo Plus2 for which I must prepare an image for our software. Basically I must have a working Ethernet-over-USB, Wifi and NIC. I started with your current Debian image compiled with uses Armbian v8.75 and Linux kernel v4.19.20. In this image Wifi works, but loading the g_ether module does not seem to work. I assume I need to patch the kernel to make this happen, which means I need to build my own images. So I created a Virtualbox environment as described in the documentation, and compiled an image with all the defaults (apart from a date-tag I add to the kernel name for identification). I installed the image to the eMMC and b…

The last time I've used this board was around December 2019. Building images or downloaded from Armbian.com and burning them on a SD card worked fine. Now i'm struggling to get it to boot from SD. Tried these images: https://redirect.armbian.com/orangepizeroplus2-h5/Buster_current https://redirect.armbian.com/orangepizeroplus2-h5/Focal_current Also build my own image (to include some extra modules) Armbian_20.08.0-trunk_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_bionic_current_5.7.12 All of them won't get passed "Starting kernel" Serial log: U-Boot SPL 2020.04-armbian (Aug 05 2020 - 07:58:29 +0200) DRAM: 512 MiB Trying …

Hi, I'm trying to use hardware acceleration on my OrangePi PC+ (H3) board, and when I try to compile v4l2-request, it complains for undefined constants. These constants are supposed to be declared in /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h, but looks like a very old version of this file is distributed in the latests Armbian images for my board. Some missing headers: V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG2_SLICE, V4L2_PIX_FMT_SUNXI_TILED_NV12 Looks like these #define have been introduced more than two years ago in the mainline kernel : https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blame/d5beb3140f91b1c8a3d41b14d729aefa4dcc58bc/include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h#L698 Even more weird: a later …

Hi Igor, I've a Pcduino 3 (not B or nano). Can you build an image for him? .FEX exists (https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards/blob/master/sys_config/a20/linksprite_pcduino3.fex) and I think the difference it's only a patch for GMAC. I'm newbee and I try to install your system on my board but I don't know how... I followed your post on Armbian...I created ' output ' but now? What am I doing? which files write on sdcard and how (dd?) May be I didn't see the tuto after to build image... Best regards JohnGO

just curious if there's a quick way to manipulate an existing Armbian build to have separate /boot and / partitions on my SD card, without needing to setup an Ubuntu build environment to compile everything myself. It's really the only thing I'd want to change about the pre-built image, and would like to avoid setting up the Ubuntu build box if I can. Thanks!

Hi, I am using A20 Micro Olinuxino card. I have problems with legacy built (Ubuntu 3.4.110). I also tried the other built Vanilla (Ubuntu 4.4.1). The second one is successfully booted. However the first one, although I have tried several SD cards, did not continue after loading the kernel. The monitor shows a noisy image and stop working. I couldn't connect to it with SSH either. So the problem is not only with the HDMI connection or Xorg. Somehow kernel stops booting. The reason I want to use the older kernel is because it has NAND Flash support and video HW acceleration support (as stated in armbian.com). Please point me to right direction. Regards.

Hello, I'm trying to get a opi+2e to output something on my HDMI TV without success. The TV is a 10yo Thomson intuiva 27LB130S5 (1280x720, should be capable of 720p / 1080i) I tried android on eMMC, worked OK. Installed Armbian_5.14_Orangepiplus2e_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop on a microsd. During install there was some console output to the display (a bit mangled), and after the reboot, nothing. I got SSH over eth access. I disabled nodm service, rebooted to have FB console only (easier to debug, or so I thought) Still nothing. Tried h3disp on a few resolutions (-m 6, 5, 4, 2) with a reboot between each one. None gave me anything …

Hi, I'm fairly new to SBCs and Linux and try to get RS485 working on a NanoPi NEO running Armbian (Legacy 3.4.113). I build a custom shield for the NanoPi Neo with a MAX3485 taht is connected to the UART2 (TX,RX,RTS) but so far only transmission works. This is because the RTS pin which I planned to use for toggling the direction pins is always high. I tried to use ioctrl to have it been toggled automatically, but had no success so far. I'm tried to figure out whats the problem and I believe that the configuration of the UART2 does not include the RTS signal: cat /proc/tty/driver/uart |head -8 serinfo:1.0 driver revision: 0: uart:SUNXI mmio:0x01C28000 irq:…

Hi All, I have attached an ASUS Xonar Essence One at usb-sunxi-ehci-1, high speed : USB Audio to OrangePi PC. when I use alsa to play sound, the system cannot attain the correct sample rate.

Hello, I am going to make a project using OrangePi (most likely OrangePi Lite, but could be other model) with a camera. So, there is my supplication, for someone to make a test and check HOW MANY pictures (let's say 640x480) can the camera take PER ONE SECOND (working continuously, in a loop)? I am interested in both types of cameras: a USB webcam and OrangePi CAM module. And it's about taking pictures, not a movie. By the way - it is possible to take pictures into RAM? I mean not writing it to SD card. It would improve performance :-) Thanks to everyone in advance!

I am trying to figure out how to make the Orange Pi Zero a USB gadget. Preferably a USB Vendor Device but a mass storage device would work for now. I was able to successfully create the ethernet gadget. (Using Armbian_3.4.112_g_ether_kernel.tar.bz2) That is pretty cool. But I would like the mass storage or vendor device. I was playing around with modprobe but I am not really sure what I am doing. Module g_mass_storage is not found. I have searched this site and online for the last few hours and just got more confused. Thanks for any help.

Hi, is it possible to use the OTG as a mass storage device? Would it be possible to use an iso or harddrive image as "mass storage" device?

Hi Is there any chance to force OrangePi PC to use 1920x1200 resolution? There's no such mode in h3disp. I tried to modify h3disp script but no luck. 1080p60 -d works well, but it's wrong aspect ratio. Please help.

I have Orange Pi Zero Plus (H5 CPU) and Huawei E303 HiLink USB modem. The modem doesn't have any enabled interfaces such as CD-ROM, SD CARD, and other unusuable stuff except RNDIS interface (I want to believe that AT commands really disables it). When Armbian is started, connected to USB modes normally starts and system has new network interface and all works fine. When I try to power on board with connected modem, Armbian doesn't start, onboard LED doesn't light, modem starts normally and indicate normal link (blue LED lights).

I am compiling the armbian for orangePi3, using the armbian tools ... and the compilation works fine. It works both from the kernel_only and from the entire image But I have a problem with the current version of the kernel, because it turns out that it does not support the hdmi-vga adapter and I would like to compile the 5.07 kernel instead of the 5.10. I have found in the doc but I do not find how to indicate to the compile.sh script that it has to compile version 5.07 of the kernel. Inside the file config-default.conf I do not see where to put the version. The documentation: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ It is insuffic…

Hello community, I'm looking to build an internet cube (https://internetcu.be/). Basically, the project uses an A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 but I'm looking to see if a better armbian could do the job. Prerequisites are quite similar to a NAS : quality, stability, performance, minus 80$, Gibabit LAN, SATA, USB. So I have 4 models in mind: - Banana pro - Banana pi - A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 - Espressobin Which one is best suited and/or do you have other models in mind?

HI to all, excuse me but this is my first msg. I have a OPI3 board and I try different OS (Arabian, Ubuntu, Debian) all in different release but I do not have wifi and lan. for wifi I have already try with copy firmware file but is is the same for lan I have in dmesg eth0. UP and DOWN. In my experience I have found only Ubuntu Xenial 4.9.118 on the Orange.org web site with wifi OK. can you help me? Thanks

Hi, Firstly, congratulations for your amazing work… it's impressive. I have a question regarding the SD image for A10 Lime (Linux 4.x)… Can I enable a raw serial device on /dev/ttyS1 which will use the uart0 of the FEX file? If I understand the FEX documentation, the FEX is no longer used on this kind of image, in favor of DTB files. So, how can I manage to modify the DTB file in order to customize my uart settings ? And, finally, how can I obtain a raw serial device on /dev/ttyS1 which will use it ? Regards, Anthony.

Hi, I´ve just search in all forum for the A20-Banana Pro. And I must realize, that it doesn't give a Armbian5.0-Trusty-without-desktop ISO or RAW. Therefore I once wanted to ask if this for "Legacy" and / or "Vanilla" possibly still comes? Because I seek the server version of "Ubuntu Trusty" for my Banana Pi Pro. Best regards, Inu

· Hello, So I tried to figure out the original dtb file used but the system by default when I boot the image without any fine configuration. But I couldn't find any information about the default dtb. I checked at /boot/boot.cmd , but nothing is mentioned for "setenv fdtfile" which was available in the old kernel. I figured out that I can add a suitable .dtb in the /boot/armbianEnv.txt in the following post. https://forum.armbian.com/index.php?/topic/4817-banana-pi-m1-extra-configuration/ fdtfile=sun7i-a20-bananapi-m1-plus.dtb But there is no way to know which .dtb file is used when this information is not set.

Hello, I know this is slightly the wrong subforum... I'm using an OrangePi PC2 with ARMBIAN 5.34.171109 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.13.11-sunxi64 I tried installing rpimonitor using rpimonitor -r after creating a "pi" user and a "pi" group That part worked. Afterwards, it told me that the webserver would be available at 192.168.0.xxx:8888 I tried that. Surprisingly, not the customized version of OrangePi-Monitor appeared, but the "original" RPI Verison. I fixed that copying /etc/rpimonitor/template/OrangePI_xx.conf to /etc/rpimonitor/template/data.conf. After restarting, it actually works, but placeholde…

Hi, I'm tring to solve an issue on my Orange Pi Zero: at boot time the pins PA18 and PA19 are stucked to Vcc. I tried a lot of solution, now the best result is to add at the beginning of the file boot.cmd the command to clear the gpio configuration: gpio clear PA18 gpio clear PA19 and recompile the boot.scr. Despite this the pins goes HIGH for some seconds until the bootloader reach this line. What is the boot scheme? Why i get this pin HIGH? Is it because the I2C1 is configured? Is it possible to disable it? Thanks Simone

Hi everyone, What I want to do is to use a DS18B20 through 1-Wire to read temperature on an OPi Zero. The sensor seems to be detected by the board (I see the file under /sys/bus/w1/devices/28-something), and then it disappears randomly after a reboot or a power cycle. (file goes away and obviously I can't get any readings). Then it starts working randomly again after an indefinite amount of reboots. I'm having this problem for a while now, and it's driving me absolutely crazy. This one here on the picture is the sensor I'm using. I have attached a 4.7K Ohm resistor between the VCC and Digital cables, and attache…

I flashed a fresh card with the LIME2 image. On boot, the bootloader loads. Once the kernel starts to load, I lose the display on HDMI. It is being powered over mini-usb, from a powered hub. No additional peripherals. It looks like the system is running (based on the Ethernet), but HDMI isn't displaying (the monitor says no signal). I'm able to connect over ssh.

Hello, is the new Orange pi Zero LTS supported by Armbian? It's the same chip and same stuff but they claim they have reduced the power consumption and lower the board’s temperature. Do you think they have archived that by manipulating the hardware or by lowering the frequency and stuff via software?

Hello, Im currently working on making lima run with an original 5"-LCD on BananaPro. My problem is to make it work with the sun4i-drm driver.

Hi, I started using pinebook armbian buster when it was beta, it worked. From that beta I upgraded yeysterday and I see no display (LCD) after kernel starts (I only see the boot). The same using a new official image [1] I know there is another places to track this issue [2], but the thing is that in the official image page [1] it says it is fully working and that is not true. There are two options: - changing the status to something beta (like before) so you are less responsible of problems - putting an image that works [1] https://www.armbian.com/pinebook-a64/ [2] https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-443

Good morning, I'm trying to activate PWM by hardware to use wiringpi. I activate the PWM option from Armbian config hardware, but it doesn't seem to have any effect, and UART0 doesn't seem to be deactivated.

Hi, I received a Banana Pi M2+ board on which I installed ARMBian. Their is only one problem for sound. Audio out is only available on HDMI. As I will use this board with no display, keyboard and mouse connection how may I get this board playing sound ? Two ways but I do not know which one is possible : 1) does it exist an HDMI to sound 3.5mm jack adapter ? 2) which USB bluetooth dungle works perfectly on ARMBian I may use to pair this board to a portable bluetooth speaker ? Sincerely thanks. Have a nice day. Miguipda ;-)
