hello I am new to the forum My problem: how to change the screen resolution when I'm on the output vga? the only proposed resolution is 1920X1080 board : cubietruck linux : Armbian_4.5_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_3.4.109-legacy screen : VGA output, 1280X1024 Desktop environment : XFCE 4.10 Thanks for your help

Hi all, anyone had success with rtl8723bs sdio wifi + bt module? I'm figuring out how to make it work on a cubieboard2. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

just curious if there's a quick way to manipulate an existing Armbian build to have separate /boot and / partitions on my SD card, without needing to setup an Ubuntu build environment to compile everything myself. It's really the only thing I'd want to change about the pre-built image, and would like to avoid setting up the Ubuntu build box if I can. Thanks!

Display 4 * 20 i2s. It will be used to display information from mpd. How to do?

Hello, I am new to armbian and am quite impressed of the ease of installation and use. I copied the vanilla headless Debian jessy to a spare SD and the board booted right away. So first of all, many thanks to the developers! I rely on GPIO for my application of the board, so I first tested the export of a GPIO. Normally, the kernel from Olimex gives me something like "gpio64_pg0", which is not very compatible to the programs out in the internet (e.g. OpenHAB.org which I use), so – with this kernel – I was happy to get a standard "gpio1" when echoing "1" to "export". But as soon as I tried to change the direction echo out > gpio1/direction the whole board…

Hello. I'm having trouble with infrared receiver. Whether the sunxi_cir driver installed in kernel or not, there is nothing in /dev/input except "event0", which is the power controller. Dmesg doesn't show anything neither. Version: Armbian 4.5 Lamobo-r1 Debian jessie next (unofficial), kernel 4.2.3. IR support was declared on download web page, so I decided to get vanilla kernel. That's because I had already tried Bananian with 3.18 kernel, and there were huge problems with kernel ppp (up to freezes of whole device). Has anybody encountered this problem?

HI, i get the failure "***warning - bad CRC, using default environment" and the system don't boot. I tested it with an banana pi, cubieboard2 and olimex A20 Olinux Lime2 and all the same failure. Of course with the specific image. I flashed the image with ubuntu 14.04 lts (no virtual maschine) with dd bs=1M if=filename.raw of=/dev/sdb. I using the direkt letter of the drive sdb and not the specific partition sdb1. The windows flash tool dont works, i get an error when click on "copy", whats that, missing framework? What i make wrong?

Hi, Thanks for the excellent distribution I noticed that in the hardwareinfo script there is no bananapipro result and when I boot new vanilla 4.5 Kernel the banana.dtb file is used instead of the bananapro.dtb As a result, no wifi, see also last two replies here for similar issue with M1: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/340-banana-pi-m1plus-no-wifi/?p=2138 Dirty Solution: hardcode loading bananapipro.dtb in boot.cmd. Wifi works This is result of "cat /proc/cpuinfo"

All, Who is using kernel 4.3.0 with Debian Jessie on a cubietruck and what kernel config do you use ? I'm thinking to upgrade my Debian Jessie installation with kernel 4.3.0 but i can't make up my mind what to select to be compiled into the kernel. Thanks in advance, Kl@@s

Are the old releases of Armbian available anywhere? I can't find them.

Hi, i'm using Armbian on my Cubieboard 1, i've done the kernel upgrade with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. I haven't understood how to make a full system update, including the security updates. Thanks and wonderful work!

Dear all, i just installed a fresh Armbian 4.5 Jessie with Vanilla kernel 4.2.3 on an SD card and booted it on a cubietruck. I did not receive any HDMI output. This did not change after a kernel update to 4.2.5 via apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and a reboot. However, the same cubietruck works flawlessly with Debian Wheezy (2.6 updated to 4.5) and kernel 3.4.110. I checked the boot.cmd script and looked into cubietruck.bin - the standard settings would appear to identify the correct (HD) display resolution and to enable HDMI by default. Do you have any recommendations ? Is there anyone experiencing the same problem ? With kind regards, Lupus …

Is someone tried to instal Kodi and is it work?

Hi, i recently switched from an old Cubietruck Image (1.XX) to the latest available. Everything works fine but i cant find the trigger disk-activity anymore. Is it an bug or an feature? P.S.: i downloaded legacy_jessie_4.5 best regards Martin

Dear all, I'm missing ttyS1 from the devicelist on my cubietruck with mainline uboot and debian Jessie kernel 3.18. Now i can not use my bluetooth module because it is not reachable. I've searched on the internet and the defenition of one (or more) uart port seems to be missing in the devicetree dtb file. Like in: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/382-armbian-on-pcduino3/ Has anyone fixed this for the cubietruck?

Hi! I have a Hackberry and i've tried to install Debian jessie for Cubieboard.

Hi. I'm a new user. I have a Banana PI M1+, that is connected to a monitor with maximum resolution of 1280x1024 and with only DVI port. I'm using Armbian_4.5_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_3.4.109, and I installed XFCE using tasksel. If I leave it without any user interaction, the monitor goes to sleep, and I'm not able to wake it up anymore. But it works, because I'm able to connect to it using putty from another computer. So I tried to install Armbian_4.5_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_3.4.109, but I have the same problem. I tried also to disable "Switch Off After" in the Display section of power management without success. Can someone help me please?

Before installing this Armbian legacy kernel (3.4.109), I was using a Bananian-based image with OpenMediaVault (the so called BanaNAS image) and was getting regular 30MB/s transfer rates to my Samba shared hard drives (USB and SATA). My PC and Banana are connected through a gigabit switch, and working at 1Gbps. After installing and configuring the new Armbian image, I notice my transfer rates were now around ~23MB/s which was odd. After trying to change some smb.conf parameters and getting nowhere, I decided to test just the network performance by setting up a simple web server on my PC and doing a wget -O /dev/null http://<my PC-IP>/test.zip of 3Gb. The values …

Hello, I have been looking for days without finding an answer, so here goes. I want to know if there is a way of turning on the banana pi, without using the onboard switch. Because the Banana pi r1 doesn't power on automatically when powered by the battery connector. And i don't want to solder wires on the pwr button, but i would also like to avoid using the usb connections because of the lower power throughput. Thank you in advance for the information.

Hello, My name is GNUser and as the name implies, I use GNU system For privacy and security reasons (though also some philosophical ones) I decided to run only free software on my machines. For example my laptop has Trisquel installed which is a FSF approved distro. I also use Debian a lot, with the main repository only available (other repositories might contain or suggest non-free software). My question is this: the images of armbian available here, I understand they are built on top of debian, but which kernel are they using? The kernel that Debian usually provides (for x86/64) is a debblobed kernel, with no proprietary pieces. Is that the case with these ima…

Hi, First of all: Thank you for all the great work that you're doing, Igor! I really appreciate it. And sorry for my english. I try to install Armbian (debian jessie legacy kernel) on the NAND on cubieboard1, but I think that the installation doesn't go to the end. Initially, a lubuntu was installed on NAND (http://docs.cubieboard.org/tutorials/a10-cubieboard_lubuntu_desktop_releases) and operated normally. I booted with Sdcard "Armbian" (Armbian_4.5_Cubieboard_Debian_jessie_3.4.109) and I run ./nand-sata-install: It will tell me, all data will be deleted on nand, and after a second or so it will inform me, should reload that script after reboot after reboot, I run…

After upgrading my Cubietruck with the latest armbian image (Vanilla Debian Jessie) I noticed that command line access is restricted to two parallel consoles (via ALT+F1, ALT+F2, -) only.

Hello, I'm running armbian on the cubieboard 2 and have noticed something that might be an unexpected behavior: when running on NAND, the nand2 partition is mounted with ordered data mode (despite the fstab configuration)!

Hi, I've read a previous topic about it but it was a bit inconclusive. My question is simple: can the OTG port be turned on on the legacy kernel? Is it just a matter of setting up the right bits in the script.bin/fex file? Or is it missing some other stuff? Currently I can use that port on Bananian. Since this board only has 2 USB ports, it's nice to be able to use the OTG port to connect a keyboard, since the other 2 ports have HDDs connected. Thanks and good work!!

Hello, I just received a replacement unit of my Lamobo-R1 board and I'd like to test it with an SD card I've currently running on a BananaPro with the latest Armbian release. Is there a way to use it on the Lamobo-R1 without having to reinstall & reconfigure everything? Thanks, V.

I have Armbian_4.5_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_3.4.109 running from NAND on my Cubietruck. Boot, reboot and shutdown are very slow.

Is it ensured, that the WIFI and Bluetooth hardware modules are shutoff / power save when disabled? P.S.: great work Igor

Cubieboard2 How to create the armbian image with capability of booting with gps connected to the uart port ? The armbian can't start if gps connected to the uart port and vice versa - It starts with unpluged gps. After system is started up, I do connect the gps and can easily get the gps data from /dev/ttyS0 As I understand - it's happened because of ttyS0 can be using as keyboard, so bootload is interrupting. Also it's can be a problem while initial password changing.

Hello again, since I use the NAND-Flash to boot and I want to use the new kernel, which doesnt support NAND yet, I'm curious if its possible to use both: 1. Can I boot the new kernel from NAND? Since the new kernel is started after uboot, it should be possible? 2. Afterwards I have no possibility to update the kernel again. Or do I have? (Without SD-Card) a.) the nand-tools requires the nand-driver??? Or is there a possibility to writea prebuild image to nand without kernel-nand-support? b.) is it possible to start an old kernel from the new for upgrading? Tried "kexec uImage", but it doesnt work. Maybe I need the zImage instead of uImage? best regards

Hi Igor, while trying to reproduce/fixing my boot problem, I stumbled across some weird things regarding your new update script. I've put a complete new image on sd-card only (Armbian_4.5_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_trusty_4.2.3) which works fine, boots and reboots. Then I've tried to use your update script which I called via: wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com | bash with the letter O and a blank between the minus and http, is this correct? First strange thing I noticed is, that it starts but doesn't run through completely. It ends with this output: Don't think that this should be the normal behaviour!? And remember that this wasn't the case when I tried…

Hi again, I've a strange problem again. I've several Lime2 and tested them with USB-Sticks, works fine. Now I got a Fan-Tec case (USB 3.0 DB-ALU3-6G) containing a 4TB-SATA from a customer.

Hi, after trying to upgrade to new image 4.5 (don't know whether this was successful...) and reboot, my cubietruck get's stucked: What could have happened? Is this the same problem, some others describe here or totally different? Seems like it doesn't find 'a boot file'!? What does this mean? Bootloader is on sd, root etc. on hdd.

Hello, Thank you for your work and the images you provide. I am making some test with A20-OLinuXino-Lime and A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 with the purpose to make debian bootable from a NAND. I have three questions: 1. what is the procedure to customize and compile a new kernel (which source repos do you use, on which defconfig is based your work) ? This is to remove/add some features according to my needs 2. when you say "NAND is not supported yet." on the download page, do you mean Debian won't boot at all if installed on NAND ? Is it only because of kernel configuration or anything else ? And when do you think NAND support should be available ? 3. what is …

On a Banana PRO with Debian Jessie I installed the lightweight desktop and all is more or less usable except the web browsing. I been using Iceweasel and Epiphany Browser (I can find Midori on the included repositories) but are completely unusable. I suppose that images are using the philosophy of "Disabled all memory reservations for GPU" Is a problem about the dedicated RAM to the graphics engine? How I can change this memory split? Thanks in advance.

If I remove the HDD everthing work fine. Anybody have a working hdd using the micro usb power port ? I use an ipad charger and a good one meter usb cable. Any help is greatly appreciated. If I should provide more details, please let me know Thanks agemio

I've seen on webpage that there is a new kernel 3.4.109. I'm currently using 3.4.108 and apt-get update/upgrade delivered new root and also new uboot, but noit new kernel ... is this known or "as planned"?

Hello everyone, I have a10 board and i'm trying to plug 7' LCD wich touchscreen (http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7inch_HDMI_LCD_(B)). Chinese manufactorer changed usb pid/vid, and in fact this touchscreen is eGalaxTouch. And when i'm trying to build driver - it requires uinput module, which is missing. Is it possible somehow to get it? On my desktop debian /dev/uinput is preseted by default. Sorry for my bad english. Regards.

I had working Banana Pi -> I compiled latest kernel (all config were default) and installed it -> Banana Pi did not boot, it was stucked on "Raising network interfaces" -> I downloaded latest image (Debian Jessie) and flashed it on SD card -> Banana Pi still stucked on "Raising network interfaces". Banana Pi is connected via normal cable directly to the router with DHCP. I have also tested cable and router and tried to use different cable. I have not changed anything else.

Hello, As The title, I think there a way to replace the vanilla kernel from the legacy kernel? And it is running the legacy kernel anyway cubietruck, but the mood is what can be switched to vanilla.

I've been trying out the latest version (4.3) of armbian on my Banana Pro and I noticed that the power button does no work as expected (apparently pressing it results in a hard reset). It looks like the OS can see the power button but I can't find a way to receive the button pressed event, the OS always halts first. Did anyone find a way to get the power and reset buttons to work?

I have a problem similar to post http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/182-freezing-problems-with-bpi-r1/:my board is blocked for the second time. But my configuration is quite different from that post: Kernel: linux-image-next-sunxi 4.3 (version 4.2.0-sunxi) UBoot: linux-image-next-sunxi 4.3 (2015.07) RootFS: on sda1 powered by the board (WDC WD10JFCX-68N) UpTime: about 10 days before my last restart. When the board is blocked I can't interact with the debug console on the serial port. I cant't find anything interesting in /var/log, but I'm not really an expert.

Hi, As I saw some people were able to use docker on CubieTruck : https://dzone.com/articles/cross-platform-hybrid-cloud https://dzone.com/articles/big-data-processing-arm-0 As there are also some images for Raspberri/docker like http://blog.hypriot.com/getting-started-with-docker-on-your-arm-device/and as in the changelog of the kernel, docker is mentionned, I would like to know how to install & use docker on my cubietruck. Did someone achieve that ? I'll be quite interested to do a docker cluster of my Rasp & Cubietruck for my self hostiing needs Maybe this could help too : https://github.com/umiddelb/armhf/wiki/Installing,-running,-using-docker-on…

I have a BananaPi running 4.2 (with Wheezy) and I am getting poor network speed. When testing download a file from the internet, I am averaging ~500k/s. I have another BananaPi running 3.4 (also with Wheezy) and on that board, I am averaging ~3MB/s downloading the same file from the same location. I tested this multiple times and the results are pretty much the same. Any idea why network performance is so poor on 4.2? Thanks.

Hi, just a question to be discussed: Would it... 1. ...be possible to use F2FS as default filesystem for images using the vanilla kernel? 2. ...make sense to use it? benchmarks show that write operations could get a huge boost in comparison to ext4. i believe write operations are quite slow right now (using cubietruck with sd-card) What do you think?

I recently created some new images using the most recent armbian scripts. For some reason my Jessie image is not coming up (see my other thread regarding network not coming up), but I did managed to get a wheezy image up and running on my BananaPi using latest / next. The problem I am having is the partition size is extremely small (about 500-600MB) and does not appear to be resize to fully utilize the SD card. It's been a long while since I created an image, but I vaguely remember the image resizing to maximize the SD card space. I basically had to manually resize the image by deleting and recreating the partition. Is there some way to specify the image size …

I created a Jessie image for BananaPi with the latest / next kernel, and when booting the image, it get's stuck on "A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces". It never seems to complete raising the interface, and since there is no time limit, this goes on forever. Creating a Wheezy image seems to work fine (also using latest / next kernel). Any suggestions on how I can get the Jessie image up and running? Thanks.

Any chance of getting a legacy image for the A10-lime so that the 4 GB NAND will show up and the /root/nand-sata-install script will work? In the meantime, I'll try the image for Lime2, but I'm pretty sure that one is based on the A20 chip. Thanks,

Hi, I have the following issue: I installed Armbian 4.3 Debian (wheezy) 3.4.108 for Micro. My device is A20-Olimex-Olinuxino Micro with nand.
