Hello, I have lubuntu installed on Cubieboard 2's NAND and I want to test Armbian. I've downloaded Armbian_5.10_Cubieboard2_Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.112 and write the image on a SD card using sudo dd if=Armbian_5.10_Cubieboard2_Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.112.raw of=/dev/rdisk2s1 But the cubieboard does't boot from the SD card, I get these error messages

Running apt-get dist-upgrade tries to install the new Allwinner H3 kernel but it takes the Orange Pi PC a really, really long time to extract and install it. The heartbeat LED flashed really fast and after 30 minutes I elected to stop it. Has anyone succeeded doing apt-get dist-upgrade today to get the new kernel on the Orange Pi PC or Orange Pi One, and, if so, how long did it take? The packages are: linux-firmware-image-sun8i linux-headers-sun8i linux-image-sun8i linux-jessie-root-orangepih3 linux-u-boot-orangepih3-default Thanks in advance for any information or advice.

[This is a repost of my own post at orangepi.org.] Hi, I'm very excited to use the Armbian on Orange Pi One. Without rebuilding a kernel or fex file, here is how to configure the Orange Pi One governor so the "[ 150.135554] [cpu_freq] ERR:set cpu frequency to 648MHz failed!" and "[ARISC ERROR] messages no longer appear in dmesg. We will set it to 912MHz on the low end and 1200MHz on the higher end which scale up and down properly on the Orange Pi One. This is until you update your fex file and/or kernel config to use different values for the CPU frequency scaling that are a little different on the Orange Pi One than they are on the Orange Pi PC. Put it in your /e…

Hi, Since latest update just a few days ago (Linux bananapi 4.5.5-sunxi) , the bananpi keeps telling me this: [ 5 updates to install: apt-get upgrade] . When i try to upgrade there arent anything to upgrade. In did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and nothing to upgrade. I manually execute /etc/update-motd/40-updates and its true that it says that there are 5 updates. So there must be something there that its not chaning. Any tips on this? EDIT: ok i just fixed this by manually editing the file /var/cache/apt/archives/updates.number and setting it to 0 but i think this should be automatic and it wasn't working for some reason. (seemed like the script wasn't updatin…

Hi! I've tried to compile the lwjgl lib on my opiplus2, but I'm stuck on ant compile_native_es. ant jars_es finished successfully. The error: [apply] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lEGL Tried to install libegl1-mesa-dev package but it conflicts with the mali driver package. Is it possible to compile the lwjgl with opengl-es on the opi, or that's a dead idea? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am developing application that will show graphics in console mode using frame buffer access in system with Orange Pi PC board. Several Debian images I tried until now from Orange Pi downloads always set up 32bpp frame buffer. Calling 'fbset -depth 16' causes screen corruption. Changing script.bin setting (fb0_format = 5) did no change. Any suggestion?

I started using armbian just a few days ago, I used the cb2 image. When I updated from 5.10 to 5.11 when I play a video, the video surface is darker, for example, instead of white I get grey. Just to be sure I put armbian 5.10 in another SD and videos played well, them update to armbian 5.11 and had the same problem with video playback. Does someone have any idea what is the problem? Until the problem is solved, how can I downgrade my armbian 5.11 to 5.10? Thanks. EDIT: I downloaded and installed the 5.10 pkgs: armbian-hostapd_5.10_armhf.deb linux-firmware-image-sun7i_5.10_armhf.deb linux-headers-sun7i_5.10_armhf.deb linux-image-sun7i_5.10_arm…

Hello guys, apparently there is a new product in the orangepi lineup. It is the PC+ (PC Plus), which has 8gb EMMC and a Wifi chip onboard. The rest of the features seems to be the same as the plain OrangePI PC. The new SBC can't be found on the orangepi official site, but it is available on aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Orange-Pi-PC-Plus-ubuntu-linux-and-android-mini-PC-Beyond-Raspberry-Pi-2/1553371_32668618847.html

Hi, I bought about a year ago an orange pi plus. Just a few weeks ago, i tryed the new distro's I love to have debian on the board. And like your distro verry much. I have 2 problems: 1) If i download the file for orangepiplus, the board does nothing. No leds go on, no grafics on screen, nothing I also tryed at home compiling it myself. The result is the same nothing. My Orange Pi Plus has an H3 processor - it is one of the first OrangePi Plus boards. (Is this an error in your piplus distro - just because loborus for piplus works) 2) If i download the orangepih3 file, the board will startup. I can not run sata-nand, because i get an error - abo…

I got my lite days ago, and have tried lots of images, none of them can recognize the build-in wifi Instead, a eth0 device is presented. is it the actual wlan? Armbian gives me the best compatibility so far (in terms of usb support) I can read the chip module is printed realtek 8189FTV, but lsmod shows me a 8189es module loaded. By google around, no luck for the FTV version driver. I also played with the script.bin, but still no luck. Anyone can give me some hints. Thanks.

Hi, I'm fairly new to linux and I've been trying to get my banana pi OTG port to act as a HID device when plugged in. I've been looking to do it using configfs and usb_gadget but I have no idea how to get this working. Do I need to compile the kernel with additional options to get this working? I've googled for days now and tried various different solutions but not got far with it. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi to All, I recently upgraded my "test server" to the current version, by flashing a new image to my sd-card. However i forgot to recover some essential files, before flashing! I liked very much the login info about the the number of available updates, since I used the testing repo at that time. Could someone provide the code snipplet for that piece of info ann thell me, in which file to place it?? Well, many many thanks for your help and advice! regards, ireng

Hi guys, I received 5pcs of Orange Pi PC recently. I prepared system for all of them based on 3.4.xxx kernel Jessie sever image. Every board with only wifi connection I cannot reach on network. I have started investigating problem and these Realtek dongles are showing up like 2 devices wlan0 wlan1. Wpa supplicant driver crashed during boot and there is some strange message in startup log about usb. I am at work now so I cannot post it but on development version I tested this morning is that wifi dongle working and successfully connected to network. Sent from my Redmi Note 2 using Tapatalk

So, the Linux Kernel 4.6 is out. Supposedly it comes with a lot of new ARM processor support. I'm excited about this. I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to kernel development, especially with ARM devices. I guess the question is, what's it going to take to move the devices that use these supposedly newly supported chips up to 4.6? I'm somewhat keen on updating to a kernel that isn't approaching EOL.

Thanks for the hard work on Armbian. I finally got the EmulationStation GUI to run under OpenGL ES @ ~88fps on OrangePI PC. The trick was mostly building SDL2 from source and not installing it with apt-get per the instructions. Really want to avoid anything "mesa". IIRC, I configured SDL2 with a similar command before making: ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --disable-video-opengl Then building EmulationStation from source using: cmake -DGLSystem=OpenGL\ ES . make make install FWIW I did symlink some shared objects into /usr/lib/ (like libMali.so) Next is sorting out libretro stuff.

Hi all, I upgraded my jessie 5.05 desktop version for Orange Pi PC via "apt-get upgrade" to 5.10 without any issues. Now I noticed that the green status LED blinks twice every ~0.5s after first reboot. Can anyone figure out the meaning of this?? Thanks in advance.

I have the gc2035 camera working on my Orange Pi One running Armbian, but I need a better image sensor. I've had a quick attempt to get an ov5640 working without any luck. It is a popular 5Mpixel module similar to the RPi camera. I know that 'Sitheek' on the Orange Pi forums had it working. However, that place is a ghost town now and Sitheek has not visited since January. So, I wonder if anyone here has got an OV5640 camera working, or failing that, could just offer some pointers on how to go about this? Thanks.

Hi all, some days ago I successfully built the image mentioned above (Build environment is Ubuntu 14.04/64 bit).

But today, after checking out the actual "master", I see a lot of failed copy and sed commands until the debootstrap-ng script finally fails at Mali-libdri2. The 1st occurrence of an error was during installation of "ramlog". I've inserted a breakpoint and looked into the imag…

Hi, Nanopi M1 is so similar to Orange Pi One that you can use the amazing work provided by jernejsk and run Openelec using the VPU of the H3. Here are the links : * Main page * prebuilt images list * Github project * The issue I've opened I'm using the embedded IR Sensor with my remote (that was the toughest part) and the only modification I made was to change to cpufreq governor from performance to conservative but if you use the latest image you shouldn't have to do that. Well so far so good. I'm using a little heat sink and the cpu temperature is between 60°C and 80°C depending of the video I'm playing.

Hi there, I've been trying for a few hours now to get the GPIOs working with the mainline kernel (ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.5.2-sunxi). According to the board layout photo, I am using PG0, PG1, PG2 and PG3. With the legacy kernel, they export as GPIO1-PG0 a.s.o. accordingly and work perfectly. So I calculate the GPIO pin number: G is 7th letter, 7 - 1 is 6, 6 * 32 is 192. GPIO192 exports fine, I can set it to output, change the value to 1 but there's no voltage! Can anyone help me, please?

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?

Hi congrats for the wonderful job with Armbian, i own a banana pro and I've found a great projet for rasp called Dietpi (http://dietpi.com/), Unfortunately the creator hasnt got a Bpro so he is not able to make it for our board, I'm asking if anyone is capable of making this suitable for us? It would be even more awesome, thank you

Hello, Has anybody successfully used the IR sensor on Banana Pi M2? From this, after I load the sunxi-cir module, I should see the sensor in /sys/class/rc/ but I see nothing. Nothing on dmesg either. Anyone who could point me in the right direction?

Hi! Using Jessie, I made the mistake of running apt-get upgrade => and on the next reboot by R1 did not boot anymore.

Hi Just install latest armbian on Orange Pi Plus. I installed to emmc and i have i issues. that is everytime when i switch on the power adapter i have to manually press the power button of orange pi plus in order to on boot. Is they anyway not to press the power button to boot? What i want is when i switch on the power adapter and it start booting. Tks

Orange Pi Lite, it comes with H3 SoC, 512MB DDR3 SDRAM and WiFi, NO ethernet port WiFi: Xunlong said they replace 8189ETV used on the older OPi with 8189FTV on OPi Lite, PC Plus and Plus 2E (Thx TK). Is now available for USD 12.- Some critical words about it. Edit: added WiFi information

Hello, First I would like to thank Igor for his amazing work on Armbian! I know that the Lamobo/BPI R1 is very problematic with power and SATA, but when I installed Armbian 5.1 jessie with the legacy kernel, it seems that the SATA is working fine. But when I tried the same Armbian 5.1 with vanilla kernel it wasn't able to boot and the hard drive made knocking noises. Just to make sure, I disconnected the HD and it booted fine. I think that this is a software problem (maybe uboot?) because as I mentioned it works with the older kernel. I tried installing the uboot package bananapro-next as Igor adviced someone with a banana pro but it didn't help. I'm using a good…

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

How to turn off leds on cubietruck? I use Legacy Trusty server

TKaiser. If you install the Desktop version of Armbian 5.10 then the following list of codecs (containing h.265 with 8 bit but not 10 bit!) is available for HW accelerated decoding: http://linux-sunxi.o...ed_codec_matrix Is 8 Bit versus 10 Bit a limitation. Can the Orange Pi PC with Armbian 1.10 decode all HEVC 8 or 10 bit encoding to 8 bit decoding, or can it ONLY do 8bit encoded to 8 bit decoding? Seasalt

I use your toolchain to build a Armbian_5.11_Orangepih3_Ubuntu_xenial_4.6.0.raw image, and then dd to SD card. Both OPi One and OPi PC can't boot it correctly.

Good evening. I am preparing an Orange PI Plus 2 in order to be the first computer for my 8 years old son. The idea is that he could learn Scratch by watching some video tutorials in YouTube The problem is that actually, if you pause a video, and the you want for it to restart, only video does it. Sound doesn't starts again.It remains muted. Then, if you click to watch another video, sound come back. But you loose it again if this second video is also paused. It's a bit annoying. Do you have the same issue ? Best regard. Maesstrissimo.

Hi, What do you do to avoid the problem with zero size files or zeroes at the end after unclean reboot on cubie or another device with nand flash on extx filesystem ?

Hi, ALL! Have anybody success story with an Armbian and Kodi? With Armbains 5.05...5.10 I installed (apt-get update ; apt-get install kodi) kodi 15.2 from this repository: Quote as described here and allways (in all Armbian releases) has a problems with a sound: sound level very low ans high level noise starting even no video - beginning while kodi GUI started (permanent noise in menus). Film sound also exists while film started playing, but sound level near noise level and very low both (btw, kodi volume regulator not working, only mute mode working in kodi). I watched AC3, MP3, AAC sound coded films - effects are the same: noise with low volume soundtrack. A…

Hello, I have a Cubieboard2 and armbian in a vanilla kernel with jessie flavor. This board has a 2 cores processor. When I am logging in, load average is shown and becomes red when it is greater than 1.0. Since, there are 2 cores, it should be colorized only when it reaches 2.0. Is it possible to have this feature (taking care of each board's number of cores) ? Thank you

LED link on WAN port ON when disconnect cable link ( not change to OFF, always ON). Help me how to fix the problem

Hello. First of all sorry if this isn't a place to post this. I recently bought an orange pi one. And I'm using Armbian OS. (Latest version downloaded from Armbian website) But there seems to be a problem with WiFi and i searched all over the internet and i didn't found anything about it. So here is how it was: First time that i wrote the Armbian OS on the SD card and configured it (as said by the Armbian website I didn't connected the WiFi dongle) and after doing those stuff I did connected the WiFi dongle to it. It worked fine, but after some mins both LEDs were on. And nothing was working. I did the things I said above many times and the same happend. And once I d…

Hi guys, I am very sorry to bother you, I tried everything I could to make this work but unfortunately, I can't figure it out. So here I am asking for help ! I am using the Armbian 4.5 Jessie (Kernel 3.4.109) on an Olimex Lime A10 board, everything works fine (Wifi & Bluetooth via USB dongles), but there's no sound. I tried aplay -l but nothing is found. modprobe sun4i_codec returns "codec not found". Could you help me find what's wrong ? I would like to avoid compiling a kernel by myself if it's possible ... Thanks !

I tried all 3 versions but they doesn't boot. I tested using Armbian 4.5. It booted correctly. I used Rufus for writing to SD. Is there anything changed for writing? Also does it support LeMaker official lcd at version 5.1? Thanks.

Hi, is it possible to have the serial/UART on the Olimex LIME2 to work as a serial console on Armbian Jessie (kernel version 4.5.2)? The UART is already working during early boot, but once kernel is loaded it becomes inactive. /boot/boot.cmd contains: setenv bootargs "console=tty1 root=/dev/sda1 rootwait rootfstype=ext4 sunxi_ve_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_g2d_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_no_mali_mem_reserve sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=16 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 disp.screen0_output_mode=1920x1080p60 panic=10 consoleblank=0 enforcing=0 loglevel=1" Thanks

Hello ! I'm a proud owner of a Opi One which is supposed to be my media server and torrent server. I downloaded and installed Armbian, set it up, everything works great, but the only problem is video playing. I tried to run multiple videos and multiple formats (.mkv, .mp4) but the player remains black. If I go on youtube, the video plays but it's very laggy (like 10fps). What should I do ? Thank you ! Guess here is my answer, too: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1129-h265/

Hi to all, i´d try to setup a Banana PI M1 as AppleTalk Printserver because my old LaserWriter 4/600 only got a LocalTalk Interface. But the Kernel didn´t support AppleTalk, i compiled it in myself successfully. After i installed Netatalk 2.2.5 and do a nbplkup, the Bpi answers: bananapi:netatalk 65280.79:4 bananapi:Workstation 65280.79:4 No Printer, no Bridge. I think, the buildin Eth0 dont route AppleTalk Pakets. I tryed Bananian, armbian and strech without success. So, what shall i do? Hallmackenreuther

Hi, guys, great stuff here !

Hi, first time posting, I tested the legacy image and vanilla image. --- Legacy --- Legacy is working fine, nand install is very easy to use. --- Vanilla --- Vanilla, stopped responding after the kernel is decompressed and the last message was about loading it, there is no additional info in UART or HDMI.

Hi, I've tried to finally move on from 5.04, but the new image doesn't boot. At least, HDMI doesn't show anything and my router doesn't see the board when connected via ethernet.

On successive boots only green led glows uninterruptedly. Do you need any information to make it work? BTW, legacy kernel worked fine for me, except my HDD connected with hdd-usb adapter (Agestar 3FBCP1) spits errors every few seconds and performance is unbearable. Connected to my router with TomatoUSB the same hdd works fine. I hoped n…
