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. I've enabled the particular SPI port I need in the cubieboard2.fex file (derived from the stock cubieboard2.bin file) and created the cubieboard2.bin file in /boot/bin after backing up the original. After that change, I rebooted. I got the /dev/spidev0.0 to show up. What do the parameters in the spi_board section mean? Is that documented somewhere? Thanks, Chri…

Hello. My friend and I are comparing performance results with our cubietruck's. I'm using Armbian (Trusty vanilla latest update) and he's using ArmArchLinux. We tested a few dozen phoronix-test-suite tests and most results are the same except one. We both have a fresh OS install with no extras installed. The problem is with the phoronix-test-suite ramspeed integer copy test, I'm getting 812.03MB/s but he's getting 1479.73MB/s. Other ramspeed tests are giving proportionally equal results. What can explain such difference? Is my RAM running slower?

I finally decided to give armbian a try on my Orange Pi One. Started without any issue and then I noticed that the 50°c idle. Sounds a bit high. I compliled mplayer with j3 and saw the temperature reaching 90°c then throttling down the frequency to 600MHz with a temperature of 70°c. Ultimately this board is nowhere faster than a RPI2 if it is stuck to 600MHz under heavy load. Or my Orange PI One has a serious problem. Any advice?

Hello, I have an Orange Pi PC with Armbian. I like the distribution very much, but I face a strange problem. After around 5 minutes of use I cannot longer open applications. When I switch to tty I see the following error: end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 3477952 mmcblk0: timed out sending r/w cmd command , card status 0xe00 mmcblk0: not retrying timeout At first I thought the problem was in the SD card, I scanned it - no bad sectors. Then I tried with the card from my Raspberry Pi which works perfectly with it. I copied the image with DD and I had the same error again. What could the problem be? A software one, or something in the power supply, becau…

Hello, Using Vanilla Jessie latest image and used sd to sata/usb script to put everything on an 8gb usb stick. Everything works fine. When i add a 2.5 " sata hard drive system does not boot. Green light goen on, disk starts to spin and after a couple of seconds disk stops spinning and only red light stays on. I tried connecting sata disk after booting and i can see the disk through fdisk -l. (I put the disk on power after booting the system) I use this adapter:Power supply adapter 12V/1A , bought from olimex. Any idea what might be the case?Maybe there is not enough power to start hard disk while booting? Thanks in advance.

I'm using Debian ARMBIAN 5:04 jessie 3.4.110 . I am running /usr/lib/nand-sata-install/nand-sata-install.sh script to copy the sdcard for Nand where the script performs the entire procedure to format nand , copy, etc. and at the end asks Off the device and remove the SDCard. However when starting Cubietruck without SDCard , it will not start ! As if I had not copied the sdcard contents to NAND. Interestingly More is not of any error in the procedure performed. Someone already has this problem ? Would you help me?

Hi all! I have an Olimex Olinuxino-Lime2-4GB A10 cpu based dev board and I have installed Armbian on an SD card. Everything works fine, except when trying to compile some drivers for the wifi dongle that I want to use. The dongle has an RTL8188CUS chip, and I also have another dongle with an RTL8192CU chip, and when following the instructions found here the compilation fails, because of the kernel headers missing. The instructions work fine on other distributions. Could someone help me figure out how to successfully compile the drivers? Where can I get the kernel headers? I really need these drivers for my project.

Hi! I plan to use a Banana Pi as a file server and install the system on the hard drive. The documentation page says: SATA/USB: pre-partitioned SATA or USB storage How does the nand-sata-install script work? Will I need to pre-partition my hard drive or will the script do it? Will it just partition it as one big ext4? Is it possible to make at least two partitions, one for the system and one for the files?

How can view kernel version?

Hi, 3 flashing led diodes of my Banana Pi make good party atmosphere when I want to sleep. what are ways to disable led diodes on Banana Pi? Is there a way to disable them without recompiling kernel? Can it be done by editing script file in /boot? What exactly do I need to change to switch them off? Thank you very much!

Hi , my op one board is installed latest armbian but i couldnt see serail ports The default serial port /dev/ttyS0, used for (bootstrap) debugging and the serial console, is located at J11 - refer to the picture and instructions below. The Raspberry's "original" serial port on GPIO 14 and 15 (CON3, pins 8 and 10) can usually be accessed as /dev/ttyS2 on the Orange Pi Plus. J12 also provides another serial port on pins 4 (RX) and 6 (TX), which should map to /dev/ttyS3. only i see /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyGS0--GS4 how can i fix this issue ?

Can any one port the driver for ms5611 from kernel4.x to 3.4.39? I am using the sensor on olimex a20 micro 4Gb. I need it to use it in Android. I am willing to pay for porting.

Hello folks, Based on the important amount of work you guys put in the H3 support and the great progress you've made, thank you for that, I am seriously considering buying an Orange Pi Plus (I need Gigabit Ethernet for my application). I need a server config with remote desktop via vnc, rootfs on SATA HDD, good ethernet performance, don't need Wifi, 24/7/365 operation. I just noticed there is two versions of the Orange Pi Plus, the "regular/original" with 1GB of memory and the "Plus 2" with 2GB of memory. Considering the price difference I am thinking of going with the "Plus 2", more memory never hurts, and I was wondering if I would encounter any issue using the …

I have tried to use the nand-sata-install to allow me to boot the roots from an external USB HDD. It goes through the process but after rebooting, the "loading kernel" message appears and then nothing - I have tried this a few times and even used the latest version of the script on GitHub. Any ideas on how to make this work - I have a external USB HDD (500mB).

Hi. I have an OPI PC with armbian jessie server. Is it there any way to automatic sleep usb hdd when it is a certain time idle?. Same disks in a RPI/RPI2 with raspbian goes to sleep after a period of inactivity.

Hello all, I've been struggling to build Armbian for the Orange Pi Pc all day today, it worked fine yesterday then today nothing. I've just been looking through the repo at github and it appears that all of the patches for building sun8i-h3.dtsi etc have been moved to linux-dev does this mean that from now on we need to build the dev kernel not the next kernel for H3 devices?

Hi, I'm new with Armbian, have some experience with Raspberry. I have succesfully installed it on a bananaPi. uname -a Linux bananapipro 4.4.3-sunxi #19 SMP Tue Mar 1 21:34:52 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux Then I have installed Logitechmediaserver with dpkg -i logitech....deb It runs well, but after a reboot the installation is not there anymore. /var/lib is default, the init.d-script is also not there. Any hints? Edit: I have the message for 19 updates, so I made apt-get update After reboot, all updates are gone and I get the message for the 19 updates again. Regards DoXer

I need some help getting Eth0 working on an ITEAD device. At this point, I see the device (Eth0), but it does not seem to create DHCP traffic (testing with Wireshark) using dhclient eth0 I'm starting from the Cubietruck image.

As per the title, I am using the 5.05 Jessie Server image on a OrangePi PC. Every time I shut it down (shutdown -h now) when I power it back up I get errors reading the SD card and it wont boot. I have tried 3 cards, all with the same issue, I can reboot the device with issue and a fsck is clean after every reboot. I do not have a linux machine to scan the card after a power off, so can't check it after it fails. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, I have a Cubietruck with ARMBIAN Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS 3.4.110-sun7i. I now want to use the Hardware acceleration for encryption. But I'm not able to do this and i have not found a lot of Information. I should load the sun4i_ss Kernel module, but i'm not able to find this on my cubietruck.

Someone did an amazing job implementing the cubietruck sata speed for armbian. I am curious as to what was done. The other day I pulled read 75MB/s(via nautilus ftp) to my main computer from it. Would perhaps like to apply whatever the fix was to netbsd.

This maybe something that just isn't available yet, but if I can help with the development I am happy to. I have created the following patches as a starting point but they don't yet work. Looking at the source code for the spidev module and comparing it to the H3 datasheet, it would appear that the H3 uses the sun6i spi register addresses. Though the datasheet lists the RX and TX buffers as 64 bytes whereas the sun6i spidev driver implements 128byte buffers. I'm assuming that this wont be a problem at least for testing as long as I don't try and transfer or receive more than 64 bytes. As you can see from the dtsi patch, I have updated the module memory locatio…

I noticed somebody did some work. All I did was add xenial to the compile script and it went through without any errors. Impressive. Welcome to ARMBIAN Ubuntu 16.04 4.4.5-sunxi Any reason an alpha image isn't available? Would you like the one I made?

For some reason the reboot command doesn't appear to reboot the H3. Is this because it doesn't have a PMIC in the same way that the A20's do or is it just a case of the correct assembly instruction not being called?

Hello I'm investigating update from wheezy to trusty on my OrangePI (A20) based home media server. I'm using custom kernel 3.4.110 with SATA multiplier support. System is on HDD.

I am using Orange PI PC for running a Deluge (torrents) and FTP server. I have noticed that when Deluge is downloading something, the RAM is getting filled up. At some point the kswapd0 kicks in and start using 100% of one CPU core. This is going on until I manually release the memory, eather with reboot or with "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". Here you can see kswapd0 with "top": However, the kswapd0 is not visible on htop, but it shows one core at 100%. The memory usage is 111 MB. But "free -m" command shows that 865 MB of memory is used.

On the download page for M1 and Pro the download links point to the same file. Looking at http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/i see only 5.00 for the M1. Another question i have: After the login i see 12 updates and i should run APT. Since years I'm using aptitude since it is the preferred and newer program for Debian. So the question is if i can safely use aptitude? Or is there something pre-installed and i mix up the package management. I will never understand why every tutorial on the web is using APT.

Hi, after upgrading my Cubietruck it failed to boot from SSD.

I got the same failure message as mentioned above: FEHLER: unable to make backup link of `./boot/bin/cubieboard.bin' before installing new version: Operation not permitted Directory /boot from nand1 was mounted during upgrade.

There are /dev/ttyS0-7 listed, but I get nothing from them (save ttyS0 which is the main console and in use by getty). I found several other articles in here talking about how to expose the GPIO pins, but I could not see how to set the "mode" of them. Any assistance would be appreciated!

How do I copy sdcard image to nand . I tried to use the ./nand-sata-install script and it returns the following message " There are no targets. Please check your drives. "

On initial install, It reboots several times then finally gets stuck in a loop with the following two messages: bcmadh_sdmmc mmc1:0001:2: wlan0: (WE) : Wireless Event too big (65535) [ap6210] scan is not ready After 10min. I pulled the plug and started again, same messages eventually.

Hey there, I flashed the nand with phoenix tools and after that successfully installed Armbian from my sd to the nand. Somehow I have no write access on the nand. What do I need to do, to enable write access so I'm able to change config files etc. Beste regards, Eyst

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 …

I have a cubieboard2 running Armbian_4.5_Cubieboard2_Debian_jessie_4.2.3.zip and when I ran a seemingly innocent "npm search" command, the system became extremely slow. It responded to pings, but SSH commands were taking many minutes to complete. I was able to grab a screenshot of "top" while it was in this state (attached). Root is on SD, I set up a 1GB swap partition over SATA. My questions are: * Is setting up a 1GB swap partition over SATA a bad idea? * Why do all of the processes suddenly report 100% CPU when main memory runs out? * How can I prevent this in the future? * Is there any other diagnostics or tests that can help determine the root cause? Thanks…

hi all, Use an old version of cubietruck. I Can use the new script /usr/lib/nand-sata-install for install my old version? Kernel 3.4.104-sunxi regards

Hi, I would like to ask, if Armbian is compatible with newer Cubieboard5 / Cubietruck Plus? I saw that Cubieboard4 is supported and older Cubietruck too, but I can't find if the Cubieboard5 is supported. Thanks for info. T.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to set up a system as musicjukebox supporting -MPD -USB Audio -WlanAP -7"Display With the Raspbian Image of banana-pi(dot)org with Kernel 3.3 lcd works but usb-sound not. With kernel 4.2 it is the other way around. The support is very bad in my opinion, so I'm looking somewhere else. Is armbian able to satisfy my needs? Or do I have to do much compiling/programming, which would be all new to me as a linux beginner... Regards Andre

Dear Users, I bought a new 'Orange Pi Plus' board to learning pi. But i can not install it by stable image. I treid a lot of image what i found. (Debian,ubuntu etc) I want a image with ( Gpio driver and ir driver and desktop gui) not more. Please help me. i can buy it. Thanks best regards. Murat.

Hi guys, I've just downloaded Jessie image with legacy kernel for my Orange PI PC device (Armbian_5.04_Orangepih3_Debian_jessie_3.4.110). At first boot it has stated something about forced password renewal policy and has rebooted the device. After the reboot during login process it has asked me for a new password and then has showed "authentication token manipulation error" message. Now I cannot login because password renewal process ends with the error. By the way yesterday I built my custom armbian image for the same configuration and today I have the same issue with it too. Could you please help me?

Hello! I'm planning to try using kodi with my cubietruck. Should I use desktop ubuntu image, or can I customize the legacy debian one? One those things is returning memory reservations. If I get it right I should edit uboot config and add: sunxi_ve_mem_reserve=128M cma=128+16M Am I correct? Are there any other changes I should change in default config to run kodi smoothly? I'd go with debian if it's possible, but I can switch to ubuntu, if there's alot to change in 3.4 debian image.

Hello everyone, Please beg my pardon if the question might seem “stupid†but I searched quite a bit without finding a solution. I’m using the ARMBIAN version of Debian Jessie on my Banana Pro with a great dose of satisfaction and I have noticed that the message about “system status†which appears on the first SSH Login Screen after each reboot provides a very useful insight into my system. From my researches I think I have understood that this is called “MOTD†(message of the day) and it is supposed to appear only once per session. I would like to display this message every time I open a new SSH Connection windows to my device, so to always have that i…

Hi everybody! We have an application that uses RS-485 and we decided to use the OMAP UART implementation, but it doesn't seems to work with Cubieboard A10. We tried to enable in userspace, by calling ioctl and also via dts file. ioctl (C code): ------------------------ ... if (ioctl (fd, TIOCGRS485, &rs485conf) < 0) { printf("Error: TIOCGRS485 ioctl not supported.\n"); } /* Enable RS-485 mode: */ rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_ENABLED; /* Set rts/txen delay before send, if needed: (in microseconds) */ rs485conf.delay_rts_before_send = 0; /* Set rts/txen delay after send, if needed: (in microseconds) */ rs485conf.delay_rts_after_send = 0; if (ioct…

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 everyone, I'm having some isues with my olimex board. It boots fine on the images supplied by olimex. But the Armbian legacy images wont boot. I have a serial connection to the board it hangs on the following line: <6>axp20_ldo2: 1800 <--> 3300 mV at 3000 mV. http://pastebin.com/nEHAiZHa I need legacy for i2s support so mainline isnt an option.

Hi! great forum, great distros! thanks Igor! I installed Debian Wheezy on Cubieboard A10, using for NAS, EmonCMS, webcams. Working really good.

Hi, I just saw ARMBian has been upgraded to 5.00 version. Then I though to check if my initial problem (for my first ARMBian test with the previous 4.5 version) could be solved with this new version : http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/616-lamobo-bpi-r1-network-issue-sudden-reboot-quick-usb-uart-how-to/?hl=miguipda What I encounter now with the 5.0 is a Lamobo R1 seems stable because no blinking green led. Just keep the red led switched on and wan with lan usable (I may contact website like you now ;-) ). Even with the connected harddrive. But... As my modem has the IP 192.168.1.1 and says that two IP are distributed with DHCP I saw the 192.168.1.4 …

Hi! On my Banana Pi PRO, i installed this «Armbian_5.00_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_4.4.1» but applications report 'no soundcards found'. I did the apt-get upgrade for 5.01 but still same problem.

Hi, I wanna try the armbian for banana pi M2 but when i flash the image in the microSd card with Rufus (i'm on windows 10) the pi does not boot correctly, i.e restarting every 10 seconds. Afterwards the card is not easy to reformat, not accessible on windows. In Rufus I do (i tried with 2 different cards): - choose the .raw file - then the combobox is set to DD image - finally i click on start So is there something I totally miss? Thx

First of all: my compliments to the staff of armbian for the important work done. I bought some lamobo r1 boards to use in a production environment such as (open)vpn router to realize a tele-service with PLC. I installed bananian (the first distro that I found on internet) but after a week I switched to armbian trying to create my own image from scratch. Very well, I like to have control over things. The question is: I should connect a lipo battery to the board so that when the main power goes off a daemon script syncs sd and then shutdown, but when the main power is reconnected the board must do a reboot automatically. It is possible to do this? Where should my daemon sc…

I run a cubietruck with armbian jessie/legacy-kernel. I used it as a owncloud- and tvheadend-server. For the tvheadend-server i use 2 DVB-S2-USB-devices (TeVii S660 USB). I had problems woith one of them and want to replace one of them with a Technotrend TT-connect S2-4600. I could not compile the needed driver, so I tried to use the vanilla-kernel, because the newer kernel has support for this DVB-card. I could use the Technotrend-device with vanilla. But both devices stutters when displaying or recording a stream. Is this a known problem? When switching back to legacy, the old Tevii-device runs smooth again, but there is no support for Technotrend. What can I d…

Hello, at first I want to thank you for your great work Igor 2 Days ago I installed the new version 5.00 Vanilla Kernel armbian for BananaPro on my SD card. And I was so glad to finally see a working wifi for BananaPro with mainline kernel. Today I did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. Ever since there is no more a wlan0 interface. Have tried ifconfig and iwconfig. It seems to be, that there was installed a new kernel image. What can we do to get it working again? Also ReleaseHistory says there is a version 5.01 but the download link for BananaPro Vanilla Jessie still leads to a version 5.00 link. Kind regards Wolf

Hi: Trusty ubuntu is workig great on my CT. It boots into /root and uses this as Home. I set up a new user in /home/armbian and now I would like to boot into this user. I installed lightdm but the system still boots into /root and does not show a log in screen after boot. How can I fix that? Thanx in advance BTW: $ aplay speker-test works after boot. When I run youtube in root video is working fine. Sound comes up only for a fraction of a second and then mutes. After that aplay is also not working any more. Any clou?

Hi, Finally SinoVoip /Foxconn released the schematic for the Lamobo R1 (R1-V3_SD July 18, 2014). First page a blockdiagramm and 13 pages of schematics as PDF. May be because the next Version of the R1 is soon ready?? Cheers Tido

After i've upgraded to 5.00, and upgraded the legacy kernel to vanilla (mostly for hardware crypto), i've noticed strange errors: blocky video play from dlna, and from samba too. So i did some test, copied few files on my cubieboard2, and compared the sha hashes of both version, and sometimes the cb2 version is changed, sometimes not. Also i see that a lot of synced files became different on cb2. Is there a way to do some in memory tests to verify how the hw crpyto works? For example random numbers -> hw encrypt -> decrypt -> check if still the same. These test i've made: -as i'm using the encrypted HDD as a backup storage too, i've compared the sour…

Hello. I'm using CubieTruck, Armbian 5.00 (Armbian_5.00_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_3.4.110.zip). I installed and setup mpd, using spdif port and Tos-Link cable. Everything went well except the volume. The volume is too low to listen to the music. I can hear that, if I turn up the external amp's volume, but even I do that to the maxium, it still is very quiet. What can I do? Please give me clue. Thanks in advance~!
