Allwinner sunxi

i was able to get analog audio from the orange pi one (with some soldering of course) and its plugged into my speakers, but the sound quality is poor while using the default mpv player that came with the image. Were is the equalizer so i can change things like frequencies to make more bass or treble? The music sounds flat like from a portable dvd player.

@ag123, @c0rnelius, and anyone else that has interest in sound on these devices. I have been able to put together a patch that enables audio for H161/H618 devices. So far only audio on HDMI works. Analog audio is still generating an error on startup. The patches were taken from a git repository by warpme: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/tree/master/script/kernel/linux-6.6/files , and probably came from the Zunlong SDK. A lot of the code was written by Allwinner. @pixdrift generated a version of the patches for Armbian and I continued to work on them. I have a git repository if anyone would like to test, partic…

Hello All, Trying to get sound working on my A20 micro. After switching to the Mainline kernel, the sun4i_codec loads and everything seems to be there. But alsamixer, aplay, etc all say that there's no such device.

Issue: 1. I have Armbian 22.05 installed on emmc 2. I have run apt upgrade 3. During the process, I got an error due stated that no space on /boot 4. I have tried to reboot but no sign that board starting 5. I have burn SD, load from SD, copy SD boot to emmc boot and than can boot from emmc again The main question is how to prevent this issue in future? How to clean-up /boot from obsolete kernels and avoid space issue?

I was struggling to make SPH0645 I2S microphone to work with H3 mainline kernel (4.14.87), on NanoPi Neo Core. After weeks of distress, I finally made it work! Maybe some will find it useful. Here's what I did: 1- In file sound/soc/sunxi/sun4i-i2s.c, change the following line { SUN8I_I2S_RX_CHAN_SEL_REG, 0x00000000 } to { SUN8I_I2S_RX_CHAN_SEL_REG, 0x00001000 } You may have to download the linux-source package for your kernel version, or you can build your own kernel. It's weird that in legacy kernel, this register was assigned 0x00001000 by default (and the mic worked easily on that kernel). Not sure why it's changed. I'm not …

Hi @all, I currently try to build a door-opener with a NanoPi Neo and a MFRC522 Rfid-Module. Unfortunately I don't get the SPI working. I loaded the newest Armbian-Debian from the Website: uname -r = 4.14.18-sunxi and downloaded the SPI-library for NanoPi: https://github.com/wertyzp/WiringNP By using armbian-config I activated "pwm", "sei-add-cs1", "spi-jedec-nor" and "spi-spidev".

Hi to you all. I've had a functional boot from USB flash drive on my OrangePi Zero and when I've updated kernel yesterday from main repository and reboot_ed boot stoped working. I've tried on another fully functional OrangePi Zero with same rom on it and still not working. I've tried to put new "virgin" image to USB flash drive and still nothing. Tried to erase spi and write it againe and still nothing. Any idea what could happened. I'll try today to get serial console to see what is going on during the boot proces.

Hello, I am working with a Nanopi Neo Air incorporating the System on Chip Allwinner H3. I need to establish a serial communication via the SPI bus, to do this I am looking for some information related to the SPI bus. Can you help me to know the following information please: - What are the min and max SPI bus frequencies that I can use with the Nanopi Neo Air (Allwinner H3)? How can I calculate them? And are there specific frequency values to use (meaning the relationship is not linear, for example: 3.84MHz, 4.34MHz, etc)? - Can the Nanopi Neo Air be configured as an SPI bus master and as a slave (not at the same time) or o…

(Finally this forum lets me enter a new topic. It's failing most of the time, making it really hard to solve my actual problem if the infrastructure also fails.) I'm using an Orange Pi Zero board and try to make it talk to a radio module via SPI. The whole thing already works on a Raspberry Pi so the module and cabling is correct. But the module doesn't respond to requests on the Orange Pi. Since this doesn't do anything, I searched for issues like this and along the way found an SPI loopback tool. I tried it and it returned all zeros. The tool readme suggests that the MOSI and MISO pins are not connected, but they are. I checked and resoldered those pins and …

Hello! I am using armbian on orangepi zero. Currently SPI_CS line is LOW in default state and goes HIGH when selecting. Does it possible to invert it's state to be HIGH in default state and to be pulled down during line selection?

I notice there is a 16mb spi flash on the bottom of my orange pi zero. I read it is possible to boot off it. Has anyone done it, and is it useful? Is it possible to run without the sd card? I am interested in locking the sdcard to read only for reliability during power loss, and storing application configuration data to the spi flash if possible. Can it be mounted with a filesystem, or is it better to use a ramdisk and store it periodically to flash?

Hi all! I have Orange Pi Zero with armbian kernel 4.14. i'm not sure about the topic name, but to me seems like that. I've managed to make spi tft work flawlessly on my zero. But after i've continued with touchscreen module, i've got problems. After X is started, i can confirm touch is working, because when i touch the display, mouse pointer moves. But in the strange way, very laggy (more than a second to respond), but is works only for ~10 secs, then display stops to redraw. And it is not because of bad contacts! Because i've soldered everything together. And it also freezes if i don't touch it. The system is still working tho,…

Hello, guys, has anyone ever faced issues with SPI controller on BananaPi M2 ? I am having a weird issue which is confirmed by at least 2 peripherals: Waveshare 3.5 LCD and NRF24 wireless chip. The data incoming from MISO is always shifted by 1 bit to the left. , i.e. reading STATUS register of NRF24 gives 0x1C instead of expected value 0xE. The same story with other registers. Saleae logic analyzer is always showing correct pictures !!! See attached image as an example of reading STATUS register from NRF24: master is sending 0x07 and receiving 0x0E (14). I have tweaked byte rate and other parameters - no result. I have finally tried to connect using…

Hi Armbian for Orange Pi Pc. how can I set the SPI mode to 3. When I try #include <linux/spi/spidev.h> //Needed for SPI port #define SPI_INTERFACE "/dev/spidev0.0" uint8_t mode, mode |= SPI_CPHA; mode |= SPI_CPOL; ioctl(file, SPI_IOC_WR_MODE, &mode) returns not allowed. Thanks Brett

Hello, I am using nanoPi Neo Core with mini shield nanoPi NEO CORE/CORE2.

If I do update and upgrade and then try to activate SPI, it is not working. I dont find the spi device in /dev. Any idea what could be the problem? P.S: Before last week, I didn't have this problem. So I think it is related to a recent update done on this image. Thanks in advance. …

Hello Genius , I am using Orange Pi Zero with (Armbian_5.38) to communicate with my ADC(AD7124-4) while by activating all channels(0 to 7=total 8) SPI able to display only odd channels(1,3,7) not all(evens and odds = total 8=>1,2,3,....7).when same code I run in raspberry pi without any changes it is working fine and displaying all channels(evens and odds=0 to 7=>total 8). I also tried old OS version with Armbian_5.35,Armbian_5.30 but still facing problem. Does anyone know proper solution for it?

I have recently been trying to get my spi ili9341 working under kernel 6.6, having gotten it working previously. I checked to ensure there were no changes in the overlay required by the newer kernel. I confirmed that the pins were configured correctly and that the ILI9341 DRM module had loaded.. Despite this I was met with a white screen. Think I must have missed something I swapped out my SD card for another using an image based on kernel 5.15.88, where I was able to recieve a display. Looking back over the dmesg log, I noticed a slight difference in behaviour with the older kernel. firstly we can clearly see that the SPI driver is requesting to use gpio 34 as…

Hello everyone, I encountered an issue while using SPI with my Orange Pi 3 LTS, and now I'm going to share some solutions. Perhaps the Armbian Team can assist me in resolving the final problem. These tests were conducted on Armbian 23.02.2 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.93-sunxi64. The initial step I took to ensure the appearance of `spidev` on the Orange Pi 3 LTS was to include these configurations in `/boot/armbianEnv.txt`. overlays=spi-spidev1 param_spidev_spi_bus=0 param_spidev_spi_cs=0 Note: If `spi-spidev` and `spi-spidev1` are added together, it will not work, and the `spidev` will not appear when using the `ls /dev/sp*` command. …

I first noticed this on my Orange Pi Zero. The latest Armbian releases (4.13.x) have some kind of gap between bytes when transmitting over SPI. I have an SPI performance test built into my SPI_LCD code: https://github.com/bitbank2/SPI_LCD If you run the demo program, it measures how many frames per second it can write to an SPI-connected LCD. On older Armbian builds with kernel version 3.x, it would usually get 27-33FPS on the H2/H3 boards. With the mainline kernel builds and running the same code, I'm seeing 9-17FPS (depending on the board). The H5 doesn't seem to be affected (I'm using an Orange Pi Zero +2 H5 for testing also). Anyone else seeing…

Hello! I had a problem. I noticed for the third time in a week. After one day of standby (idle) is disabled WLAN. Not connected for SSH. It is unacceptable. How to fix it? ------------------------------------------------------------- BananaPi Pro (yellow/black) Vanilla Jessie.

I’ve been running Armbian from an SSD for a while using this guide: https://jamesachambers.com/orange-pi-zero-2-usb-ssd-boot-guide/ Recently, after running apt update && apt full-upgrade, the following issues have occurred: 1. Wi-Fi adapter is no longer detected. 2. CPU utilization exceeds 80% when accessing the Gnome launcher or starting GUI apps (e.g., a web browser, even without opening a webpage). 3. The system becomes laggy and nearly unusable, noticeable when moving the mouse. Are there recent changes to Armbian that affect SSD booting? Is there a workaround for these issues?

Latest kernels include experimental fbttf modules. I connect cheapest oled screen(128x64px) via SPI to orange pi pc.

Hello wonderful people! I am having trouble getting my SSD1351 1.5" RGB SPI OLED working with my NanoPi Neo v1.4 running armbian 23.11.1 with kernel 6.1.63.. Since the removal of fbtft_device from the linux kernel I have had a really hard time getting any screen to work with any of my SBC's (except RaspberryPi using the fbcp_ili9341 library) I have tried converting fbcp_ili9341 for use with the NanoPi but I keep getting "Failed to load VideoCore kernel Mailbox"... so I gave up on that lol.. Then I learned dtoverlay was a thing and after days of searching around I eventually found a .dts file for the SSD1351 here (https://github.com…

Hi! I've been using Armbian on my a20 olinuxino lime2 board without issues for over a year now. Yesterday i decided to reflash the installation image onto the SD board. I've tried to flash it to different SD cards using the same method (SD card formatter + etcher), all of them booted but the SSH server always refuses the connection. Are there any workarounds to this?

Dear Igor, first of all: Thank you very much for the work on armbian! My problem now is: I installed armbian on my cubieboard 2 (on 16 GB SD card) and first everthing went fine. 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 (…

due to systemd updates to a new version, maybe it's not compact with old kernel. after system upgrade, it fails to start sshd. after read code, insystemd-tmpfile chase_symlinks() return -EBADF from kernel, I guess legacy kernel not compact with newer systemd.

Hi, I'm using several Orange Pi Zero boards. At any given time, when I run "reboot now", I can no longer access the OPI via ssh. I tested the following distributions: Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 Armbian_5.59_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 All the programs I installed, which start from boot normally work, but I can not access via SSH. Is there any corruption of ssh files? Thank you for your help

I've just asked this question on the UNIX StackExchange - but I am hoping that the Armbian wizards may have a better idea on what is happening. The setup: - Machine 1 is an Arch Linux laptop, on which `ssh` is spawned, connecting to an Armbian-running SBC (an Orange PI Zero). - The SBC itself is connected via Ethernet to a DSL router, and has an IP of 192.168.1.150 - The laptop is connected to the router over WiFi. - There's also another laptop (Machine 2) connected via Ethernet to the DSL router. When benchmarked with `iperf3`, the link between the laptop and the SBC is less than the theoretical 56 MBits/sec - as expected, since …

Hi, i have a problem with my two Orange Pi Zero´s The Orange Pi Zero´s are installed with the latest Armbian_5.59_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 Both Opis are only connected to 5V2A over the microUSB Port and the LAN Port (not WLAN) and use a recommended Sandisk 16GB microSD Card. Both Pi´s are not reachable over SSH maybe 15 Minutes after boot. Direct after the boot SSH is working. Other Services like ping and the installed snmp deamon are working pretty well. Only SSH access stops working after maybe 15 Minutes. There is nothing connected to the OPIS. Is there a known problem with SSH deamon? Greets and thx for help …

I know I need to find out which drivers to use...

Greetings, I recently purchased an Orange Pi Zero for the purpose of Pi-Hole. I have been running Pi-Hole on a Raspberry Pi-1 under Jessie and the stability was great. I never had to worry about it. However, with Orange Pi Zero, running Armbian/Jessie as well, I get a maximum of 2 days of up-time. This is a standard armbian/jessie installation with only pi-hole installed. Since there is no video output (I did not purchase the extension board), I had to perform a power-off/on. Without ruling out the possibility of hardware fault (SD card or USB power supply), does anyone have stability problem of Armbian/Jessie on Orange Pi Zero? …

Hi, From months i'm using the raspberry boards to monitor, control, log and to sending commands to remote stations. I've fighted against wifi devices that stop to work untill i've tried the raspberry pi3 and the edimax dongles, correct the sd errors (untill i've decided to run the boards with a readonly fs), installed the (software) watchdog, etc... but now everything works perfectly from months on more then 20 boards equipped with good power supply and sd. The last months i've tried to replace the raspberry pi board, with the orange pi lite board and armbian jessie 5.20 server. With the old version of orange pi pc, connected by ethernet, everything works fine, but wi…

A quick one... is there an estimated date on when a stable version (next version) will be released for OPI Zero...? I am looking for to have the following included: > Full H2+ support / would be great with the goal to to force the power consumption to the lower side > SPI boot from USB > Working serial gadget / Serial through OTG

Is it possible to return to the old standart motd on armbian jessie sounds like a joke but im an minimal user and when it is possible how can i do this thank you

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 guys, its the first time im gonna post here so bear with me, i am a recent user of orange pi zero 3, one with 4GB RAM and i have been able to run the latest community release on it, things work besides audio thru hdmi, but i have noticed that the video encoding and decoding is not working, albeit 3d acceleration works thru panfrost and Mesa. I have been digging this topic and i wanted to share what i found and maybe validate if im right or perhaps i am not getting this well. 1. Video encoding and decoding in G31-MP2 is something separated from what Mesa and panfrost would do, so even if those work i cant get video acceleration with h.264 etc. …

Hi there, I am using Workstation edition on OPi PC+, system quite up to date. Problem: wired ethernet looks hardwired to DHCP (client) and I want to use static address(es). There is Network Monitor but I can't edit / delete "ifupdown(eth0)" connection. I can create another connection for wired eth in NM, static address, but it does not go active on system startup. I can switch off "eth0" and activate another connection from NM desktop, but I want system to start automatically with static IP (w/o user action).

What's the current status of the mainline kernel? What kind of practical restrictions are there? I've seen on the Sunxi wiki that Ethernet is still WIP. So no Ethernet? I use my Orangepi PC as a "NAS/media server/download server".

Hello everyone. I'm experiencing some strange issue with my cubieboard and its connection to the internet. I boot it up and it works correctly, but after a day or two, I can't communicate with it using a ssh program, or vnc viewer. My other two servers that uses Linux Mint is working normally, so I think the problem is not my router. (I even swapped the Ethernet cables between my servers). If I connect a display on my cubieboard and try to ping my Windows computer, then I'm able to ssh my cubieboard using my computer. Sometimes I'm unable to connect to my cubieboard via ssh using my windows and my Android phone, but if I try using my Linux machine, I can connect with…

Hi there, as I've connected my laptop e-mail client (Thunderbird) to my OPi3 I started to receive strange emails "from root ("cron daemon") to root": Subject "Cron <root@orangepi3> /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs" "error: syslog-ng:8 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) error: unattended-upgrades:10 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes)" What should I do?

Good afternoon, I am using armbian 5.25 on orangepipcplus with legacy kernel. when visiting google.com site with firefox, I will only see the "mobile" site with restricted functionality. On the bottom of the screen there is a link "Google-Ansicht klassisch" which should bring me to the desktop version of google. But when pressing this a popup tries to come up but will not finish its presentation. Now this tab is blocked, I never get to accept google terms and conditions and can not use google. Do you see the same behaviour? Is there any known remedy? PS: Yes, I tried firefox "safe mode" - same thing! Thanks, gnasch

Hi, I have noticed very strange behaviour of my OrangePi PC Plus. Device is connected to internet via Wifi. After successful connection, device is connected to VPN service. A cron script is checking every minute if VPN is working, and if not, it is restarting connection. On every hour, Network Manager is being restarted (you will see why is that so later). On every minute NTP is querryed for time synchronisation. After VPN restart or rebooting of device, device sends an e-mail notification via GMail. On eth0 there is DHCP server running (dnsmasq), which is providing internet to a device connected to OrangePi. So basically, you plug in ethernet cabl…

I am operating a headless data acquisition system with Orange Pi Zero Plus2. In the readings I collect among others data from a discrete separate 18B20 sensor and record the H3 CPU temperature. The 18B20 reading comes from the w1 kernel routine, the CPU temp is provided by armbian OS. With the new OS 5.8.16 I see a strange effect: reading .... the external sensor at /sys/bus/w1/devices/<sensID>/temperature and the CPU temperature at /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/@soctemp it gives the same reading correct to a 1/100 degree. Even when the system runs low power - this cannot be true. I have no idea how these results can be mixed in t…

Hello ! I recently reimaged my BPi M1 with the vanilla headless Debian Jessie from Armbian. But I have two problems: Main problem (the worst): I have a RAID SATA to USB enclosure (this one: BS-EHD-35/DUALB). After some times and randomly, the drives stops spinning and the enclosure stops itself. I've disabled any power management on hard drive, setup a cron job to write a file every 5 min, disabled autosuspend in usb core... I didn't have this problem with the legacy kernel. I cannot downgrade to it, because I'm using BTRFS with some non-compatible extensions. Note: this is a server with apache, Deluge, Plex and Sonarr. Side problems (I can live with if the first is O…

With every upgrade I struggle with a "changed to default" login welcome message and have to do my modifications again. Therefore I would like to explain my changes and hope you can integrate them in the default version...: Your welcome message prints the $BOARD_NAME as ASCII art. Probably you have dozens of boards and can distinguish them in this way. So after login-in you directly see which board it is. I have only one type of "boards" (Cubietruck) and distinguish them by their hostname. So I have to replace "$BOARD_NAME" with "$(hostname -s)" in /etc/update-motd.d/10-header to identify my boards. What do you think about a change in that direction?

If anyone here done this or even connected 1 switch to gpio (without resistors), could you please post the solution or a link to follow. Thanks. V

When testing my most recent builds using the Armbian build framework I found that I was experiencing a constant load greater than 1.00. At first, I thought this is probably normal to have a load during the system boot but after waiting over 10 minutes I found that the load did not decrease. Firstly, I used HTOP but could not find a process that was heavy utilising the CPU with the relative CPU usage show as low. Next I tried using TOP which revealed a process called kworker: freezeable_power. Trying to search for the issue I did not find much until I came across this old forum post that described the same issues I was having: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/75…
