During the last days the system crashed twice - by crashed I mean that no SSH or other connections was possible and I had to force-power off. I used it for months without crashes before so its probably related to a new SATA drive. I wanted to look at the syslog and I noticed that /var/log/syslog only shows entries starting from the current boot and the /var/log.hdd/syslog is empty. Do I understand correctly that armbian logs only to /var/log which is a ram drive so the logs (or at least the syslog) is never persisted? How can I find out whether the SATA drive is responsible and why? Maybe it has a too high power consumption under special circumstan…

I haven't solved the problem of spdif-out on mainline kernel. But, on legacy kernel 3.4.112, spdif-out works. but, has a limitation upt 48khz? doesn't work of 88khz, 96khz, 176khz on my Nanopi Neo Air 1.0. Is it correct to have a limitation. Thanks in advance.

I am lost, the soundcard used to work when I first started with this board but now I get a "aplay: device_list:270: no soundcards found..." error. When I tried to enable the analog codec using armbian-config I get an empty screen. This also used to work the first time. So I created a new SD card using Armbian Stretch this time but with exactly the same result. I am desperate! The diagnostic output is here http://ix.io/1x25 Kind regards, Hans C

Hi, I have a orange pi one which I use as a test web server and everything was good so far, the first problem I came a cross that the couchbase server on debian package did'nt support arm, so I skipped that and used another computer as couchbase server, But the problem now is that I can't install the couchbase php client on the orange pi, then I tried the build the libcouchbase my self. I actually did build it (I have no previous experince with build) After I built it I don't know what to do, now I have libcouchbase.so file and other files but I can't still use couchbase php commands. Any help is appriciated. Thanks.

first off: I'm totally new in the Linux world, but it's really fun to play with *Pis! currently I'm on a OPILite but I have some RasPis lying around and just ordered a nanoPieNEO2. I'm trying to setup a filesystem that supports deduplication, as far as I can tell that's ZFS or BTRFS. After a lot of reading and learning I got BTRFS with bedup running, but bedup is only file-wise deduplication. The solution for block-wise would be duperemove, but I can't find/get/install/build it for armhf. Has somebody tried block-wise deduplication before and can point me in the right direction? I'm running armbian 5.31 on 4.11.5

Hello together, I'm trying to connect an LVDS panel to my BananPro and would like to switching power on/of and backlight on/off throw a GPIO pin. So, first of all, I've added some lines to my DTS file (in &pio section). This is for backlight driver (PH12 is connected to CON2 pin 7): bl_en_pins_a: bl_en@0 { allwinner,pins = "PH12"; allwinner,function = "gpio_out"; allwinner,drive = <SUN4I_PINCTRL_10_MA>; allwinner,pull = <SUN4I_PINCTRL_PULL_DOWN>; }; And this is for enable pin of voltage regulator (PH7 is connected to CON2 pin 6): lcd_power_pins_a: lcd_power@0 { allwinner,pins…

Hi - Just checked out latest greatest code from git to compile new stretch image for my NanoPiNeo2 ( Armbian_5.46_Nanopineo2_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.47 ) but seems it won't boot up. Tried two SDcards and two different boards but same result. Tried both Etscher ( 1.4.4 ) and Rufus ( 3 ) but same result, any issue known that I missed ? Please note I am building a standard image ( thus no customised settings ) also came to my attention the board becomes quite warm, this is unusual . Thanks

Hi, I have a Bananapi M1 running long Time with Debian Jessie. Now I installed Armbian Buster and always when I activate GPIO Pins my Network is gone on the integrated Card. Also GPIO is not working because of the Network Card. I tried to deactivate the Network Card and use an external WirelessLAN Card but the internal Card is still blocking my GPIO's. On Jessie and Wheezy before that was working perfect. Any advise? BR Peter

Sorta basic question, I have orange Pi Lite's, and Orange Pi PC+'s in various projects. The hardware looks similar except for emmc and ethernet, are the images interchangeable after installation?

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?

After some months not using my OrangePi One, yesterday I installed Armbian 5.90 buster 4.19.57 (previously I had a stretch release). I did a clean install, downloading the image and burning the microSD with it. I noticed the button now works for 1st time since I bought the OrangePi One. It shuts down the device, no need to install or configure nothing. But, previous Armbian versions I had, were able to set the machine CPU speed at 1.2 and 1.1 GHz. Now (with Armbian 5.90) the maximum is 1 GHz. On previous releases, the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_available_frequencies contained: 240000 480000 648000 816000 912000 9…

Hello, to all OrangePI PC enthusiasts. Well I'm in the community of those who definitely underestimated the Orange of the PI, but let me share my burden :-) for the fun of it. It started with the camera- gc2035 and vfe_v4l2 modules. Had to try a couple of images until I got it by luck I guess - after that I found out that every image I use is not capable of having a FTDI device connected to "ANY" USB Port (OK, you got me, I didn't try the microUSB and I won't). After that I tried no matter what I wanted to connect to USB it was not even recognized. Now I'm back in changing/swapping around Images until I found one that let me plug anything I …

I have an OrangePi Plus. I downloaded and installed "Armbian_5.25_Orangepiplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.7z" (actually, I installed the image file from inside that archive) onto a micro-SD/TF card (16GB) and managed to get it to talk to my monitor (thanks, armbian, for "h3disp"). I searched the web, and this forum, for instructions on how to install a graphical desktop on top of the particular Ubuntu Xenial flavor and found nothing I could make sense of. I tried the following: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev ubuntu-desktop I got the Ubuntu greeter, but when I log in, I get a stock desktop background with no sidebars or menu bar. I can move the…

After nearly one year of kernel crashes, I finally found the stable configuration for Orange Pi Zero 3 as a 24/7 SDR server. The critical discovery: legacy kernel 6.6.75-sunxi64 is the only stable option. The current kernel crashes within hours under SDR load. Additional fixes: - Blacklist aw859a WiFi driver (causes kernel instability) - Blacklist DVB modules for RTL-SDR - Lock libairspyhfSupport.so with chattr +i (SpyServer/SoapySDR conflict) - Mask systemd-networkd-wait-online - CPU governor: schedutil - usbcore.autosuspend=-1 for USB SDR dongles Running 3 SDRs simultaneously: RTL-SDR Blog V4, …

Hi, I compiled the newest version of u-boot. Then I updated it at my sd card via: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k count=1023 seek=1 dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8 dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=40 Now u-boot starts and I'll get to the message "Starting kernel ..." and nothing happens. Do I have to recompile the Kernel or did I something wrong? Edit: I did it on my NanoPi Neo2

I have changed to 1080p and its almost stable but pull up any window that has maybe moderate workload to say heavy such a chromium the screen starts bouncing around. Think you know what I mean by bouncy, stuttery flashy. I thought that would just be fbturbo drivers and just the fex script but nope and a bit stuck. There is an image for Xenial as using the legacy version on the OrangePi site that is rock solid @ 1080p so it must be fixable but not sure what. Jan 2019 of xenial. I ran into some permission errors with NodeJS & PM2 so thought I would give Armbian another go as first image I tried was the latest less stable Bionic/Stretch which also at 1080p are …

Hi everyone! I'm looking for an old image of Cubieboard with legacy kernel 3.4 . Someone can help me? I've searched into main site and forum but can't find anything. Thanks

Can you power Prime with OTG port? Or does only PSU work?

I built the latest Nobel build and ended up with Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Nanopiduo_noble_current_6.12.63.img. Even at idle it runs 70C. If you try to do upgrades it will do thermal shutdown. The temp reporting is real because it's hot enough to burn your finger if you hold the heat sink long enough. I used a PS2 usb fan (I call it the ghetto cooler 5000) long enough to downgrade kernel to 6.1.x. Now it idles around 50C. I know there's been heating issues with H3 (Duo uses H2+). I compared DTBs, voltages and cannot find the smoking gun. I played around controlling the voltages, etc. Anyways, I'm OK with 6.1.x kernel since this board was out in 2017. I still have a…

I had to resolder the pins of the debug port on my NanoPi NEO Air and must have damaged the RX connection as I am unable to send commands but can receive read the debug output fine. Is it possible to change the debug port to UART1 or create another root terminal at another serial port?

I must have missed the discussion about not having a desktop version for this board. Does anybody know why this option is not available? Now that I finally have the Bluetooth working, I can use it as a proper desktop. I have "simulated" a desktop build by following the Armbian build script... installing all the packages for xfce4, but it lacks some functionality (namely the notification icons). It would be really nice to have a proper Armbian desktop on this board. Thanks.

Greetings. For anyone interested FriendlyArm have a Github repo which contains a working AW CSI driver. and has device tree files for NanoPi M1+ and Neo Air. See https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux.git. The branch is sunxi-4.16.y This is a work in progress but the setup is vastly simplified compared to the VFE subsystem in the 3.4/3.10 kernels. The OV5640 driver does produce video but I'm getting some odd images at the moment. Possibly colorspace related.

Hi, I have an Orange Pi Zero 3 with Allwinner H618 (1GB RAM version). The CPU specs say up to 1.5 GHz (1512000 kHz), and it hits that fine on other distros (like official Orange Pi Ubuntu images or Debian builds). But on Armbian, max freq is stuck at 1416000 kHz, even on latest kernels.

Hi, I've build an SD card image with in a buildroot myself, used the stable branch as suggested. "For stable branch use --branch=v23.11"..and that all worked good so far. I'm no linux guy at all and begun some investigations, installed packages and configured the system, this was an desktop variant with xfce. Somewhere in the middle of work I've got the message that a security update is available and I should do an apt upgrade..done that. Interresting for me was, that I've got an Update to Armbian 24.2.1 jammy.. ok ..then this is so. I've noticed later that I don't have any video output from X11 anymore, after the login prompt the sc…

Hi all, I'm writing this post because I had an issue upgrading my lamobo-r1 from the previous version to the current one (Armbian_5.20_Lamobo-r1_Ubuntu_xenial_4.7.3). On reboot hwclock doesn't start so I get my clock set to epoch, wan doesn't go UP, postfix says "time stamp 2015-11-25 01:40:22 is 1448411826.350146139 s in the future", random says "uninitialized urandom read"... a total mess. As pointed out on some sites, looks like "/etc/init/hwclock.conf" has "start on starting mountall" so failing to mount could cause a failing in hwclock initialization. I also found on bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu that in recent versions with systemd, mountall became fussy about fi…

Good day everyone, I am running into some issue while trying to update packages on my Nano Pi Neo Plus 2, I am currently running Armbian 23.02.2 Buster with Linux 5.15.93-sunxi64 on the board.

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. Can someone help me out to fix it? Thanks in advance!

I am having some difficulty producing audio on an orangepi zero using the images listed here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/ No matter what I do, I cannot get any audio devices to show up in /proc/asound/cards There are a number of posts on here that suggest that audio doesn't work on version 4.x kernels. Is this still the case? And if so, where can I download an armbian image that does support audio?

Hi, On upgrading to 5.35 Ubuntu Xenia default 3.4.113 I am unable to get DVI video working, I am presented with a pink screen. Monitor is a 1280x1024 dvi connected via HDMI-DVI converter cable. I am configuring this with h3disp -m 1280x1024 -d. I have rolled back to a 5.30 image and everything works as it should. Possibly a bug? How can I upgrade everything in the distro without breaking the video again? Thanks.

Hi, I trying to record transport stream from USB DVB-T card, but I have some problem with dvbstream. Card work well with mumudvb. Currently I'm using Armbian Ubuntu Xenial on H3 (Orange Pi PC), unfortunately dvbstream (installed from repository) don't want to lock fronted to desire frequency, while dvbtune (0.5.ds-1) (installed from the same repository ) work fine. In this case I downloaded dvbtune (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/dvbtune_0.5.ds.orig.tar.gz) from source, but after compile not want to work. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? why dvbtune not work after compilation? Thank You.

Unfortunately I don't have a USB keyboard or USB UART cable around... is it possible to compile an image that has my wifi information baked in?

Hi guys, I've just got my first of the H5 boards, and am loving it so far. I have a quick question however. On all of my Zero (H2+) boards I have an led on indicating power.

Hi All, I used armbian for a few month and it works pretty good for me. Everything start going bad since I update it with RAID 1.1 board. Current system: Cubietruck + RAID board + Armbian (actual Ubuntu Xenial next) The issue is that board do not want to accept HDDs without reformatting them in a first row, ok, I made a full backup and after new installation from SD to the RAID just restore it --> It does not boot up even if I change fstab and armbianenv.txt in a boot section.

Hi everyone, I am having issues with video output on my A20-micro when using legacy kernel. I get the proper output from uboot, but when it starts to load the kernel, I get some garbage on the screen, then nothing. I had a look through the forums to no avail.

I've set up a HE.net IPv6 tunnel on my CubieTruck, which announces itself in the network as a router for IPv6 network traffic. However, when I transfer data from other computers via the CubieTruck, bandwidth is very bad. rsyslogd causes a very high load on the CubieTruck and transfer rates are only up to several hundred KB/s. However, when I test downloading files from the CubieTruck itself, load doesn't increase and I can use my full line speed of 4 MB/s. As rsyslogd is the logging daemon, I looked into the syslog and found hundreds of page allocation failures like the one I attached to this post. What's wrong and how can I fix this? exception.txt

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.

Hey, I have one Cubietruck newly installed with Xenial some weeks ago and one Cubie that had Trusty installed. Both Armbian. So today I made the dist-upgrade from Trusty to Xenial. After doing everything and reactivating the sources.list entries for Armbian and NodeJS (shoud be added to the FAQ!) i compared the output of apt-get update and ther eis a difference: Originally installed with Xenial (also InfluxDB installed, so should be only difference): Hit:1 http://ports.ubuntu.comxenial InRelease Hit:2 http://ports.ubuntu.comxenial-security InRelease Hit:3 http://apt.armbian.comxenial InRelease Get:4 http://ports.ubuntu.comxenial-updates InRelease [95…

Hi. I'm running Armbian Distro Debian 12 Minimal/IOT with Gnome GUI on an Orange Pi Zero3 2gb and 4gb models. I installed XRDP Xorg to be able to access from Windows 10. I can access the systems remotely, but both machines turn off after a short period of activity, somewhere between 5-10 minutes, whether they're idle or performing some activity. I've already looked for some hibernation/suspend option, but I only found something related to turning off the screen, which didn't solve the problem after being disabled. The Orange Pi Zero3 2gb machine ran for a few months using another version of Armbian recommended by the manufacturer's website without this…

Hi, how you decode video on Nanopi Duo with hardware acceleration? Have you any images or instruction how i could test hardware acceleration by using Nanopi duo? Mainline kernel doesn't support hardware acselleration, right? I tried build image with legacy kernal (3.4.x), but it doesn't run. Any ideas?

I'm using Armbian 5.27 with BRANCH=default BOARD=cubietruck RELEASE=jessie BUILD_DESKTOP=no Sometimes bluetooth fail to start, are there some way to fix it? Leonardo

http://ix.io/NWB Hi, above i posted armbianmonitor -u out. I tried dettaching usb disk due errors in btrfs for continuos recording, disk was mounted in ro mode. Now, with only microsd happen same thing, no btrfs errors obviusly, but orangepi plus 2e go down time to time, light are on, but don't have ssh access or ping. Please someone could show some light in it, thank you. Edit: sorry, I forget say my wlan config is make in plain /etc/network/interfaces, with fixed IP, the SBC work fine up to go down.

Some of the functions keys on my Pinebook like volume up, down and mute doesn't work. Any clues on that? Thank you in advance.

Hi All, I'm trying to enable SPI2 on Olinuxino LIME2 board following the instruction of Armbian doc, and the README.sun7i... in the /boot/dtb/overlay directory. It seems I have to enable an spi2 device, but the overlay for SPI2 of sun7i is not present. The related section of armbianEnv.txt is the following: overlays=i2c1 spi-spidev uart2 uart3 uart4 uart5 uart6 uart7 param_spidev_spi_bus=2 param_spidev_max_freq=10000000 What I'm doing of wrong? Thanks in advance PaoloC

I can download armbian source code and build. Is there a way to build kernel only for my board NanoPi M1? I haven't tried building Debian, from wiki.friendlyarm.com building kernel only can be done by: ./build.sh -p sun8iw7p1 -b nanopi-h3 -m kernel Is there an equivalent option for armbian? Thanks.

I installed the experimental version of the NanoPi Neo Air distribution on my Air a month or two ago. At the time I believe Bluetooth was not working on that version. I don't see any indication that it is not working now, but it doesn't seem to be working on my install. Is Bluetooth working on the experimental kernel? If so, should I just re-install, or is it not hard to get it working on an existing install? I just installed the latest updates and rebooted, and that didn't fix it. The symptom that I'm seeing is that if I run bluetoothctl it prints a prompt, but seems to lock up.

Hi I would like to ask you can I connect my NanoPi Neo Core 2 (Armbian) with LCD TFT 3.2 (320x240)px by GPIO and SPI. RPi driver module LCD-show is nor response and don,t work. Anybody has experience or know how to do that. Is it possible.

Hi i did some comparison of NanoPi NEO Kernel 3.4 (Jessie) and kernel 4.4 (Stretch). - Looks like the temperature limit controlling of 4.4 is not working as good as 3.4 (on 4.4 Kernel the CPU reaches more than 85 °C!) - GPIO (wiringPi) has less performance (-4%) - SPI has better performance (10%) - CPU performance is ~6% better (nbench, maybe the newer compiler) - consumption is besser on Kernel 3.4, especially on halt state I did a fork for wiringpi Library to make it work on Armbian Jessie and Stretch https://github.com/mstroh76/WiringNP (so far only for NEO)

I've been using a Cubieboard2 and I have been struggling to get the SPI to work. I've edited the armbianEnv.txt and added the spi0 and spi-spidev to the overlay line. I see the overlays being loaded and I get (only when I've got the spi-spidev overlay on) a /dev/spi0.0 In the dmesg I see a line like "scanning for SPI0 on DT" (paraphrasing as I don't have the screen in front of me ATM.) I don't see any other diagnostic about the SPI though. I haven't jumpered the MOSI to the MISO yet (for a "loopback" test) The kernel is compiled with the sun7i-SPI driver as well as the usermode spi driver. Is this al…

Hi I was trying to setup an mini arcade to my room. I was using retrorangpi 4.2 full desktop (Debian Jessie) on my orangepipc. When it was booting, the screen is only red and the info showing in my monitor is DVI-HDMI 720p 60 but I am not using a HDMI TO DVI converter. I try to configure my display on armbian-config and I choose HDMI not DVI but the result is the same after rebooting. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

I've been playing with Orange Pi Zero. I've been playing with both Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.img and Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.113.img . I've been using a FTDI communication Serial adapter on a Mac Laptop via Terminal $ screen ≺port_name≻ ≺baud_rate≻ In my case the screen command looked like this: $ screen /dev/tty.usbserial-AE00BS5L 115200w What I've discovered is when I'm using serial communications, tools like $ nano filenamee or $ nmtui , the system interface gets all screwed up. If you have the commands memorized, you can still use Nano (barely) but not so easy with nmtui. The scree…

Recently I tested armbian stretch for orange pi lite2. If there is not other task except system, there work fine. But if there are some high cpu tasks, such as unzip, the system load will go high, and not go to lower level when task done. When the system load is higher than 4, the response of the system is laggy, when go higher, the system will go no response. I use uptime to test the system load, when boot, the 1min load will be at 3.xx and go down slowly. When no task, the load will lower than 0.5.

hello there, and Happy New Year I have OPI PC PLUS, and it was unused for a while , then I did update upgrade it and since this time my old python scripts doesn't work at all it looks like scripts turn on OK but nothen happend I use OrangePi.GPIO 0.6.3

I built the newest image Armbian_5.24_Orangepiplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.113_desktop.img to work with my opi+2 board. I need 1280x1024 resolution and it works perfectly. However wifi connection keep asking password, but it worked well with Armbian_5.20_Orangepiplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop.img. It's weird that wifi scanning worked well, just failed to connect. How do I fixed this problem? thx

Hello In some cases I should connect to OpenVPN server. So I have .ovpn configuration file. It's works well while I'm connecting from home PC which runs by ubuntu 16.04 and connected though cable. But at work I'm using Orange Pi plus 2e runs by Armbian and connected trough WiFi to my iphone. Connection works well without vpn. But there is a troubles using vpn. It's seems like my orange pi gets connect to server but traffic is flying somewhere another line. Chromium couldn't show pages, tun0 device showing 0 traffic, wlan0 device don't showing new traffic too. What should I fix? Please ask me for some data and where to look for it if you need.

Hi there, with Armbian Buster "OOB" (+update) I have following problem on Orange Pi 3: - Firefox (with language Polish) does not play network radio: https://www.rmfon.pl/play,25#p , - at the same time: - there are /dev/snd/ files, only for HDMI, but I have read that currently there is no driver for H6 audio, so I may expect at least ALSA is working, - VLC plays MP3 files correctly, (but it can play with pulse and ALSA), - pulseaudio is not started / configured / present. What should I do?

dear friends i used 20 Opi zero with armbian 5.38 for communicating over ttyS1 to Megatec UPS devices boards should send string on baud rate 2400 to UPS with RS232-To-TTL and get answer and work normally for the first time bur after a while serial stop transmitting data at all restart , stop-start ,... not fix problems the only way to fix the problem is connecting ttl to rs232 to pc and connect to serial with putty after that serial started send and receiving data and can use to communicate to ups devices i faced this problems on 9 of 20 boards programming language in python Thank you in advance!

Hello, I'm trying to read temperature from DHT22 on armbian using OrangePi's WiringPi library. The moment I call digitalWrite the whole system freezes. Previously I had raspbian and it used to work just fine. Am I missing something? Should I do some configuration maybe? Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I'm a newbie and I cannot solve this issue... by typing tail -f / var/log/mail.log after some hours working the tail is not updating anymore.. to solve I have to: delete mail.log file create new mail.log file chmod a+w /var/log/mail* service syslog restart service postfix restart but again in few hours tail -f stop updating incoming events. Moreover, if I try with tail -f / var/log/syslog or tail -f / var/log/ufw.log the same result Any suggestion is highly appreciated..

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

Hi, I've had a PcDuino3 for some time now, but I have barely used it because linksprite work was shoddy; so I never bothered to give the pcduino much time. I Also own a banana pi (A20), an O-DROID XU-4, several rPi's and an Orange Pi PC. All non rPi's are running armbian; you are all awesome for your work! I think I understand this problem with 4.x has something to do with the device tree .dtb files, but no clue what to do to get it to boot and display through HDMI. I'm actually wanting to use it as a headless server, but initial setup requires me to see the screen only because the onboard wifi is not working either (despite manually editing /etc/wpa_supplicant/wp…

How can we create a custom image of Armbian Bionic/Buster for Orange Pi Zero with our customized application/code in it. Please suggest process for the same.

Hello, I've got some problems with a Cubietruck. First thing to state is that the com-port apparently has died. It was connected via a USB-converter 3,3v and worked flawlessly for a long time. I replaced it with a new one but no go. In the beginning no problem, I could use SSH. Second thing is that the hard disk became erroneous. I bought a bigger model but no boot. I thought that the UUID-entry in /etc/fstab caused this and changed it via tune2fs to the old one, but still no boot. Thus I could no longer use SSH! And I cannot mount the old harddisk, it's to erroneous! Third thing is that I tried with a new image, and the cubie seems to fina…

Good morning, I am using a version compiled with your script for Banana Pi M2 Berry to build a network HiFi streamer, and I am satisfied with it. I have installed LMS and Squeezelite, and everything is working great. Now I would like to add an Innomaker HAT AMP that has a 12V power connector that powers the Raspberry Pi at 5V via GPIO. The GPIO of the Banana Pi M2 Berry is declared compatible with the Raspberry Pi3, but I would like to be sure before frying the board in case it is not. Can you please confirm the total compatibility of the GPIO connector of the Banana Pi with that of the Raspberry Pi? Thank you for your response.

Hello, does anybody found a working WiringPi version for the Orange PI Zero+ H5?

Hello. Can anyone provide any hint about configuring dts for sun7i, please.

Dear Forum, First of all thank you for being a member here. Second is that I would need some help on selecting an image for my present CT board. I need the followings: 1. hostapd with dnsmasq 2. g_mass_storage 3. sata 4.spidev or equivalent Preferably: 3. I would need free up SD card slot, so nand or SATA boot would be preferred. Which image is the best for me even if I need to recompile it? Thank you in advance.

I have a OpiZ2w with Armbian. I flashed a SD-card, and then I copy the system and boot to a usb- hdd (sda) and the system boot to sda Want hdd because It write much data and USB 2 don't take mush more speed. But I get a warning about a file-error or something so I run fsck on sda(hdd) was a systemdisk, but run read-only, but anyway it does not boot any more I think I can take the usb-hdd and run fsck from another computer? I have one system with Ubuntu on a Intel 6 gen, and Raspberry pi 500 and 5. The Pi-machine have raspberry-pi OS and the other Ubuntu 24.04.Does the machin or system have any singificans? Or is there another fix to…

Mainline kernel unable to load sndhdmi modules. Thus no sound with it .it looks amazing though.

Hello, I have an image based on Armbian 5.37 and I have noticed that after upgrading linux-jessie-root-lime2 from 5.37 to 5.60, the Lime2 was not able to get an IP for eth0. The only way is to execute dhclient eth0 I have noticed that a lot of file was added in linux-jessie-root-lime2_5.60_armhf/data/usr/lib/armbian and I think that one of them are responsible of this issue. Do you have any idea on how to fix that ? Thanks

Hi, I just got my hands on a Orange Pi Zero, but when I try to use iscsiadm I get the following message: iscsiadm: iSCSI driver tcp is not loaded. Load the module then retry the command. iscsiadm: Could not perform SendTargets discovery: iSCSI driver not found. Please make sure it is loaded, and retry the operation I have tried to load the module using modprobe, but it does not seem to exist. Any tips?

I'm trying to use PA18/PA19 for custom purposes. I need to put these pins to Input state without any pullups/pulldowns. What I can achieve is: to put these pins to input state via the command: gpio mode 30 in gpio mode 31 in ("tri" instead of "in" does not work, it accepts the command, but a multimeter shows the input is still high, as well as gpio readall) These pins are probably pulled high because they are I2C pins. I want to disable the I2C functionality but have not found any means to do so. I have tried this dts script: ##### /dts-v1/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3","allwinner,sun50i-h5","friendly…
