Hi all, First, thanks to Igor for his job with Armbian: Scripts, compilations etc. Very apprecied so far. I own an Orange Pi 1 based on A20 SoC. Armbian kernel 4.4.1 is installed, no problem. (I have used the Igor's script to upgrade it) But I'm trying to change the bin file in /boot/bin, it seems to not work, no change if I set screen0_output_mode = 5 In orangepi.fex Of course, I'm using the bin2fex & fex2bin exec on my desktop (Kubuntu 16.04 x64), and I copy the new bin file in /boot/bin/orangepi.bin The goal is to change the first resolution, because I would like to solve this problem (see the photo, the display exceeds) on my DIY tablet. …

Hello, Did not start Orange Pi PC Armbian_5.10_Orangepih3_Debian_jessie_4.6.0-rc1 graceful on the Microsd and trying to start it. It is a serial TTL and HDMI are not so thin air conditions. from RC Nice in this recognition within the range of the bug? My best regards.

Hi guys, I've been tring to get an IR LED to work with LIRC for a while now but just cant get it to work. I'm a bit of a noob with linux, so bear with me.... (using 5.05 desktop image) I have been able to get a receiver working thanks to the stickied tutorial. Although only when running lircd manually with driver and device options, I've setup hardware.conf but i think the /etc/init.d/lirc script overrides that. Anyway its the sending using gpio that i need and the closest i've come is with the LIRC GPIO kernel module from here. As it compiles, loads and shows that the gpio pin has been allocated using: cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio GPIOs 0-383, platform/sunxi-pinctrl…

Hi, Recently I've made a custom kernel for an Olimex Lime board. The NAND driver refused to load and reported "kernel divide by zero".

Hi, Was anyone able to use the watchdog in the Lamobo/banana pi r1? If not is anyone using some hardware that resets it/an hardware watchdog?

Hello all guys, I tested my orange pi one and it is free from the overvoltage "defect" related to the CPU voltage regulator. The multimeter reports the expected 1.1 and 1.3 voltages. I decided to do some tests to find the highest frequency it can run stable at its lowest voltage of 1.1 volts. I found something odd.

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.

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…

Any tips how to connect the thermal printer to orange pi.

I did all the management via putty and ssh but since a couple of days I can't ssh anymore. That means, ssh login with username and password is succesful, but I do not get any command line. Besides I get a couple of other problems: One is, when I boot up, I takes about 10 min, since problems with "LSB", this means: It takes about 5 minutes withe the message: "a start job is running for LSB: raise network interfaces" Similiar problems occur during shutting down the system (…

Hi! Is PMP support build-in in newer armbian images? I installed ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.4.3-sunxi on my banana pi. Or is a recompile still needed? With the default image i can see a dmesg "error ahci-sunxi 1c18000.sata: controller can't do PMP, turning off CAP_PMP". If recompile is needed can someone please post a link where to find step-by-step instructions how to recompile armbian with PMP support? Is the guide on htpcguides.com still correct? Thank you

Where can I check out the linux kernel source code for Debian Wheezy 4.4.3 (/usr/src/linux, nothing more nothing less). The reason is that I had a Gentoo system running on Cubieboard 20 with an outdated kernel, and my attempt to build a new kernel was unsuccessful. But copying kernel and modules from Debian Wheezy 4.4.3 was really successful. And I have completely rebuilt the whole Gentoo userland using the Debian Wheezy 4.4.3 kernel. Now I want to re-generate a new 4.4.3 (or newer) kernel using Gentoo genkernel command. For that I only need linux source code. I suspect that the source codes from kernel.org need special patches.

On a new installation cant access over SSH. Same on latest Armbian 5.04 Jassie and Wheezy. If I change the parameter UsePAM to no (in /etc/ssh/sshd_config), I can login via SSH. EDIT I fount the problem is with first run scripts. On legacy it looks ok, but on vanilla these scripts are destroying SSH.

I've tried both Armbian_5.00_Orangepi_Debian_jessie_4.4.1 and Armbian_5.00_Orangepi_Ubuntu_trusty_4.4.1_desktop (needs the Option "HWCursor" "off" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf).

Hello Still I could not resolve network problems with orange pi plus. My configuration: Orange pi plus with heatsink, (image Armbian_5.05_Orangepiplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.110), external USB drive(partition ext4). Main problem - when copying large file into samba share network hangs on orangepi board. CPU temperature not exceed 50C when copying. Leds blinking near ethernet cable but ping from cli works only on local ip. Same situation with other orange pi images (debian, lubuntu and ect...) Please help

Hello everyone! I have a Cubietruck Allwiner A20 with 8G sdcard with Armbian 5.04 Debian 8 ( Jessie ) 3.4.110 - sun7i . When you start Cubietruck with sdcard Connected , I run the script /usr/lib/nand-sata-install/./nand-sata-install.sh to copy the image to sdcard NAND . The same performs all the procedures without any error until the moment of PowerOff . When turning off the disconnect sdcard and turn again , though the S.O does not start. It is as if he had not copied anything to NAND , as if empty. Has anyone had this problem ? Grateful for the support of the whol…

Hi Igor and all, after running armbian on my A20 lime2 for a long time, I decided to switch to armbian on my A10 lime, too (from jessie with a eewiki-based self-compiled kernel). So far it works as perfect as the A20, but there are two small and funny things with the Armbian_5.00_Lime-a10_Debian_jessie_3.4.110.zip image I used: After login the nice armbian banner stated that my A10 lime is a cubieboard . I have a cubieboard, too. So I double checked... The problem is located in /etc/init.d/armhwinfo, There all "sun4i" boards are simply "Cubieboard". I had to adapt the LED check which is used to detect Lime and Lime2 a bit and added the Lime A10. I ch…

My cubietruck mac address which I am assuming is auto generated is invalid. Though one would think it should work, other software on routers will not accept the mac as valid, and thus I can not add configurations to it. We probably need a layer somewhere to create 'valid' mac addresses. 02:C2:07:C0:B7:C7 is the generated mac that my cubietruck is currently using which software claims is invalid.

Hi Friends Greetings and thanks for such a lovely forum. I have recently purchased a nanopi m1 which is based Allwinner H3. Can someone please guide me on howto build an Armbian kernel + Armbian uboot with a custom userspace linux. More specifically I want to boot it with alpine-uboot-3.3.3-armhf.tar.gz image. Any help? Thanking you I hope you dont mind

Hey guys I'm setting up a Cubietruck with Armbian_5.04_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.110_desktop.zip, and I cannot mount any of my unmounted volumes. Installing gksu didn't fix it. Any tips?

Hi, i discovered and solved incompatible gc2035 driver with some v4l2 applications. I made some modifications to the 3.4.39-02 kernel-lobo: gc2035: of 8fps to ~20fps eand improvements in the matter of light. The original driver accepts only 800×600, added the following resolutions: 800×600/640×480/320×240 sunxi_wdt: builtin to module (greater flexibility to change the module options) / pr_info some functions, causing flood in kern.log (switched to pr_debug) CONFIG_CMDLINE=â€earlyprintk=ttyS0,115200 loglevel=5 initcall_debug=0 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 fsck.mode=force fsck.repair=yes init=/init ipv6.disable=1 kernel size: ~59mb For more informa…

If I put a USB stick in I can see it in Nautilus(yes I installed nautilus) but when I click on the name of the USB , I get.. " Unable to access “USBNAME" Not authorized to perform operation (polkit authority not available and caller is not uid 0)" Everything else is working. I have Samba, SSH, x11vnc, NAS, HEVC x265 Video, all working happily.I can live without USB but I thought it would be important to give the Armbian developers feedback. I have looked for an answer and I do not see any one else having this problem. Once again I just love this Armbian / OPi.pc combination. Seasalt

I am using the latest Armbian image on OPI+. I had a requirement to read a 64Gb USB flash formatted under Windows with the extFat filesystem. Much to my surprise it didn't mount.

Having my Orange Pi One now for two weeks. I've compiled a new kernel with the great compile tool of Armbian. Now I have AppleTalk as module in the kernel ( 3.4.110 - kernel/net/appletalk/appletalk.ko) It seems that the Ethernet device or driver does not understand AppleTalk. Although Ethernet works... well IP does. If I use a USB Network device (as eth1 with dm9601 module) I have no problem, but the on board network card refuses to work with the AppleTalk software Netatalk. It start, but the OrangePi dioesn't see other AppleTalk devices. With the USB network card, it works fine. It is a pity, because the Orange Pi One is really the cheapest AppleTalk router …

Hello, I'm trying to set up the video streaming on Banana Pi M2. I tried all of the available images, but I can't find the image where the kernel includes ov5640.ko and sunxi_csi0(1).ko modules. The instruction on banana-pi.org said that I only need to load these two modules, but they are not included in images... The only image, where the ov5640 works is the Android 4.4 from banana-pi.org, but it is not fast enough. Do you have any experiences with that, or suggestions about how to run this? Kind regards, CottonEye_Joe

Hi to All, Today I try to re-build Armbian (with legacy kernel 3.4 and Debian Jessie) customized by me a week ago and get into trouble to buld and boot it. I am fixing also: BOOTBRANCH=v2015.10 REVISION="5.05" At build process I see that kernel was migrated from version 3.4.110 to 3.4.111 but it builds with no problems. Unfortunately, USB redirector build did not succeed displaying bunch of errors: [ o.k. ] Installing external applications [ USB redirector ] In file included from /data/armbian-legacy/sources/usb-redirector-linux-arm-eabi/files/modules/src/tusbd/usbd.h:67:0, from /data/armbian-legacy/sources/usb-redirector-linux-arm-eabi/files/mo…

I have just received cheap WiFi dongle (paid $1.6 in Aliexpress). I don't know yet if I will solder it directly to Orange Pi One extra USB exposed solder points. Currently I want to share how to disassemble this dongle without damaging anything. Watch my short tutorial video: Using this module without the case significantly improves WiFi signal quality and range. Finally it would be possible to solder external antenna socket. Some photos:

From the CLI that is. I plan on using the OPi as a headless MIDI processor, and I'd like to be able to switch remotely the audio output of ALSA between the default audio-out, the HDMI out and a USB sound card (CM108-based, tested working with the current kernel). ALSA documentation isn't well maintained, most of it is old and doesn't correspond with the current state of the software (config files locations and names, contents etc). I tried various examples I found on several bulletin boards, but none really worked since Armbian seems to do things a bit differently. So I'm asking here: on Armbian, how do I switch remotely the output audio device in ALSA? No remote …

First, thank you Igor for the wonderful images! I have a cubieboard1 which I haven't played with for a long time. This week I found Armbian and decided to put it on my CB1. I have an HDMI-to-DVI cable, so I connected CB1 to a Dell monitor with 1280x1024 resolution. I tried several of your images for CB1 and they all stuck during boot with blank screen. After several tries, I decided to try on a real HDMI with 1920x1080 resolution. Of course it worked. Did some google search and found out I can change one parameter in the boot.cmd/boot.scr from disp.screen0_output_mode=1920x1080p60 to disp.screen0_output_mode=EDID:1920x1080p60 and it will try to auto select screen re…

Been trying to compile the handy sysdig util in armbian. Installed it with: apt-get install -t jessie-backports sysdig sysdig-dkms After the normal install that worked, but when running gave this error: error opening device /dev/sysdig0. Make sure you have root credentials and that the sysdig-probe module is loaded. I tried: /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start One of the compilation errors I manage to correct commenting the include of asm-offsets.h in /var/lib/dkms/sysdig/0.5.1/build/main.c I also managed to solve the complaints about the lack of fixdep with: make fixdep make bin2c However now when trying to compile it with /us…

Hello, I used my cubieboard A10 to make a torrentserver with armbian. I use armbian jessie with vanilla kernel. The rootfs is on a 16gb sandisk sd-card, the download folder is on a sata ssd. I connect through ssh. When I start up the box everything runs as it should, but after approx. 5 minutes the connection drops with the cubieboard. Transmission stops and the ssh-server stops. When I then reboot, the torrents are gone and I have to reload them. the data on the ssd is still there. I tried already to limit the download speed to 2Mb/s but still the same. What can be the problem? I had a tl wr703n as a torrent box for a long time without a problem. The…

Hi all. Strange thing happens. I've tried to run a fresh installation of the 4.4.3 kernel version of armbian 5.04. The first boot takes forever (I gave up after 2 hours; a few times). It started and hung up at updating packages. Every try; tried about 10 times. If I switched to 5.04 with kernel 3.4.110 - the first boot takes about 1minute and cubietruck rebooted once, so everything worked perfectly. Any idea what could happened? Some extra info: If I logged in during this "updating packages" period, the normal process of creating a new user worked as normal. After that I could restart the cubietruck normally. So my question: Do I get some problems if I …

Hi, I am running same distributed processes on my RaspberryPI Model 2B running Raspbian Jessie and two OrangePI PC's running Armbian 5.05. Though i have enough ram available i found that there is high SWAP utilization on my OrangePI PC's. Also one CPU will be always 100% in OrangePI PC's. I have swappiness = 1 for both OrangePI PC's and Raspberry PI. ulimit -l = unlimited for RaspBerryPi and ulimit -l = 64 for OrangePI PC's. Attached is the screenshot:- From left:- (1) RaspBerryPi. (2) OrangePi PC, (3) OrangePi PC. How can i limit the swap usage and high CPU for OrangePI PC? Regards, -- Avinash

Hi, to resume the problem I encounter please let me introduce the network I use. 1) a main modem/router called BBox2 which is a Sagem F@st 3464 connected in LAN-WAN to a 2) a secondary router called Lamobo R1 (also named Banana Pi R1 = BPi R1) 3) a laptop connected to the BPi-R1 4) I think to connect IP camera to the BBox2 then need to stay in the same network range (so I presume I need to change the conneciton used in 1) from LAN-WAN to LAN-LAN isn't it ?) Here is the connections and IP Addresses : BBox2 is connected in LAN-WAN to the BPi-R1 ISP -> BBox2 (LAN) -> (WAN) BPi-R1 (LAN) -> (LAN) Laptop 192.168.1.1 (DHCP->) 19…

Hi All, My first topic here, I own a Banana Pi M1 and I have just switched from bananian. Everything looks great in armbian and most of the things are just working, I just miss zsh from bananian but that was easy to fix. However I use my server for backups using ecryptfs (so I can encrypt/decrypt folders on demand) and I'm unable to mount any ecryptfs directory. My configuration: Banana PI M1 running Debian Wheezy mainline kernel 4.4.3 (just installed) Things I've done: Install ecryptfs-utils (installs ok and tools are available) Try to mount a ecryptfs directory: I get the message "unknown filesystem type ecryptfs" Try to load as a module (just in case):…

Hi guys, Great work you are doing here, giving a second source for all kinds of fruits :-). My question: I like to have a "non desktop, no gui" = headless server with an armbian kernel >= 4.1 for the OrangePiOne to free up my expensive/more universal RPi2 for other tasks. I need a linux kernel >= 4.1, so it recognizes my DVB-C (T230) and DVB-S2 (S960/TT4600) that work with RPi2 as a headless TvHeadEnd SAT>IP server. TvHeadEnd itself works fine on your armbian kernel 3.4.110, but USB cards need a higher kernel level. I succeeded to compile myself with your tools and good explanation, got output, but the image does not startup, no video, no lights…

Banana Pi M1+ There is a very strange issue using SPDIF and/or I2S output. ( mpd, alsa, Armiban 4.4, kernel: 3.4.109-banana ) When starting play a new audio track, the left and right channel random swapping. Upgrading Alsa mpd does not helps. It looks this is known, a kernel level problem. for example: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2011-February/037038.html Any suggestion how can I solve this issue?

Hi, after unsuccessful experiences with bananian I found armbian - due to the active forum and answers to questions it looks like the better choice. I try to install fhem on bpr-r1. Combine a access point with homeautomation server (the router ifunction is handled by another device). After some work with Debian Jessie (lot´s of issues with hostapd and gpio) - Ubuntu with 4.4.1 kernel works stable. Only issue which keeps me from going into operation is following problem: all directories /sys/devices/platform/gpio-sunxi/gpio/gpio* are recreated everytime fhem server starts. The trick from Raspbian with chown -R root:gpio ys/devices/platform/gpio-sunxi/gpio/g…

Hi everyone, today I notice that my orange Pi one stopped (crashed) yesterday, how to prevent this next time ? Is the watchdog a solution to the problem? or please advice are there any additional parameters or details I need to know for using watchdog ?

So I've gone ahead and got an Orange Pi PC. I've already been using a few Raspberry Pi boards, as well as the Odroid C2. I wanted to see what the Orange looks like in comparison. It fails to boot properly. I've read a few things around the web, tried the official as well as a few of the Loboris images, including the Raspbian, Jessie and Slackware ones; used the newer script.bin and uImages, etc. But still no go. The board isn't dead, the power LED and the other 2 LEDs near the ethernet port light up. I get activity through the debug serial port, but that's about it. No image through the HDMI, no DHCP request to my router (I connected it through a wired connection…
