Allwinner sunxi

I've got a new problem with my Olimex A20 Lime2 board. The board doesn't freeze anymore (http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/295-freezing-problem-with-olimex-a20-lime-2/) but after a week I've got a very slow speed using samba: about 300 kbps. I've tried to restart the smbd service but it doesn't work. The smbd process don't use cpu: < 5 %. If I restart completely the board, samba start to works again very fast and use the cpu: > 50%. How can I discover where is the problem and how to fix it? I'm using Debian jessie 4.2.6-sunxi, and there are no more updates.

I'm using 14.04, and vanilla kernel on A20, followed the documentation for distro upgrade, but it's in endless loop: Calculating the changes Error authenticating some packages It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of unauthenticated packages. module-init-tools Restoring original system state After this appears, the whole dist upgrade process restarts, and ends with the same error.

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

Hello, I have an Orange Pi+ 2 and Orange Pi+ 2e. I use Armbian, updated to 5.20 with these commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade so I rebooted and can't start. What can I do? Thanks

Hey guys, Firstly thank you very much for that amazing project and giving life to our opis. I really like armbian jessie desktop but I prefer ubuntu based distros. I find an xenial image from the armbian site and install-upgraded. Then I installed lubuntu-desktop. Looks very good seems very fast and smooth but I can't listen musics with audacious. Sound comes distorted and laggy. What can I do to get armbian desktop quality playing video and mp3 files.

Hi, I run a Linux Armbian_5.24_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_4.8.15 on a Cubietruck with the kernel on version 4.8.15-sunxi. When i want to enable the wifi module, this don't work. I have see a response on https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/252-cubietrack-wifi-bug-hostapd-bcmdhd/ so i do "modprobe brcmfmac" which return any message. But after that, i can't use the wifi. When i do an ifconfig, i see only eth0, bond0 an lo butno wlan0. Can you help me to use the wifi on my cubietruck ? PS : Sorry for that bad english, i'm a french user which don't speak english very well.

I've been playing with remote desktop from windows 10 to my orange pi plus 2e, finally got it working correctly using this forum tightvnc and xdrp . i was having trouble with it send all commands to the main user instead of the current remote session. the symptom of that was chrome didnt seem to work remotely, but when i checked the main screen many chrome windows were open. so i uninstalled vino, tightvnc, etc. and reinstalled tight and xdrp voila! ok so now chrome opens correctly so i went to test youtube which seemed a bit slower.. redraw etc. and no sound! so now my question is - does this remote setup support sound ? I have heard you can't watch movie…

Hi, I'm trying to activate WiFi access point on my Orange Pi that using internet over ethernet cable. On my friend's computer we've flashed and activate Access point on armbian-config menu, but in newer releases of armbian(that i've downloaded yesterday) armbian-config menu doesn't contain such option to activate access point. I want to know how to activate access point in current release, or can i? Thanks in advance.

I've got a NanoPi Neo Core 2 and a NanoPi Neo Air. It bothered me that the USB OTG did not function in host mode. Turns out, the included Armbian .dtb's don't have the parts necessary to define the regulator which pushes power back to a client device when the board needs to run in OTG host mode. You can see the regulator on page 8 of the schematic http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/images/6/6b/NanoPi_NEO_Core2-V1.0_1707.pdf I found an upstream patch at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9921097/ which defined the missing parts for a Neo Plus 2. I put the relevant parts into an overlay dts file (attached) that can be loaded wit…

Hello everybody, the images from armbian for my Orange Pi 3 work very fine and stable. Thank you for that. I came to armbian by links form orangepi.org. When I tried to get an Android image from there I got an Xutuntu image. (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Urh9-yljq9Mrrafp7ZWRVf_s_AdjUoTQ) Do you know where to get an Android for my Orange Pi 3? Thanks if you have information for me about that.

I am really confused about how to connect an LVDS monitor to the board. We used 3.x legacy kernel and used a .fex file for this in the past. But it is time to move to mainline, and it is confusing me. Since LVDS is not plug and play, we need to tell the parameters of the screen somehow. That is clear. I found several ways of pushing parameters to the system: 1. Compile into kernel 2. Compile into U-boot 3. Device Tree 4. Device Tree Overlay 5. Kernel command line According to these articles i have to compile them into U-boot: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1905-enabling-lcd-in-u-boot-kernel-472/ ht…

Hi all! After upgrading to 6.1.24-sunxi64 on my Orange Pi 3 LTS I lost sound at the audio output. dmesg shows this: platform sound_ac200: deferred probe pending I am a newbie to linux - can you, please, provide me a hint how to install the sound card back or revert to the older kernel with a working sound? Thank you!

I'm trying to get a HDMI LCD touchscreen working. The pinout is compatible with Orange PI PC except the SPI CS pin is on pin 26 (WPI 11) instead of pin 24 (WPI 10).

Also, I'm not sure how to properly configure the pen down interrupt pin for pin 22 (WPI 6) So far, I've got the following working: Image: Orangepipc_2.0.8_debian_buster_desktop_linux5.4.65.7z Touchscreen: 3.5 Inch HD HDMI USB LCD Touch Screen 3.5" Display Module 480×320 1920x1080 for Raspberry Pi 3rd 4th Generation 4B/3B+/3B/2B orangepiEnv.txt: overlays=spi-add-cs1 spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 para…

Hello all! Does anybody know how to make 5inch hdmi screen for RPI work with OrangePi One? When I try to connect it to my OPI one with armbian it is just white screen and no one of LEDs is lighting on the OrangePI PCB.

Hi, I just bought an RTC module for my Banana Pi M2, but when scanning for i2c devices I noticed that there are no i2c device nodes in /dev using the latest Armbian version (5.15). Is there any way to get it working? Modprobing i2c-dev or any other modules I've found didn't help Thanks in advance!

hi, having power problems with the two usb ports of my pcduino3 nano, i checked the schematics and it appears the otg port is not powered by the USB_5V rail but directly from the VCC_5V input rail, so i was hoping it would solve my problem. Unfortunately it seems the port acts as an OTG port by default and i can't find a way to restore the otg host mode as advertised in the vanilla kernel features. The documentation only details how to use various OTG modes but not how to revert it back to host. I'm using xenial vanilla image. thank you.

Dear community. I like to get the NanoPi Neo air work as HID Gadget using libcomposite. I am using the dev kernel (4.10) and libcomposite is loaded. Following this tutorial http://isticktoit.net/?p=1383 the usb gadget init script is running without errors on startup. But there is no entry in /sys/class/udc/ and i get no /dev/hidg0 device Did i missed something? is there a special overlay directive for the usb controller? or is something missing in the kernel? is it better to use the g_hid module?

Hi. I'm trying to change the setup I have running on a pi pc to my new pi pc2 running latest version of nightly (at least latest version of the packages) Every kernel version I tried does include the w1-gpio and w1_therm but it's missing the w1-sunxi that's required for it to work. Is it missing from the kernel or am I the one missing something?

I'm using a fairly newly created Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 on my orange Pi Zero, trying to port a set of programs from Raspberry Pi where they work OK. I use a script to build: gcc -o myProgram myProgram.cpp -lwiringPi -llibpthread and my problem is that ld reports that it cannot find libpthread.so. find / -name libpthread.so -print reports that the library is located in /usr/lib/arm-Linux-gnueabihf/ and indeed it is.

Hello, I installed ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.14-sunxi on H3 OpiZeroPlus2 board and temperature is 60C (just after boot, nothing is running, CPU 0.5%) Is it normal? P.S. I saw overheating problem on H2+ OPi boards, but no idea if H3 also suffers from this.

Was playing around with a well tuned system, wanted to upgrade my kernel - but seem to have broken something. I was on 5.37 - manually upgraded to stretch and everything was working quite well. Today tried upgrading my kernel, and was playing around with `armbian-config` to switch kernels, but didn't go so well. After a reboot had no network. Plugged in the serial console, and was greeted with the following. pi@orangepione:~$ uname -a Linux orangepione 4.11.12-sun8i #2 SMP Wed Nov 22 13:50:32 CET 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux pi@orangepione:~$ dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}\n' linux-stretch-root-orangepione dpkg-query: no packages found matching linux…

I use Armbian_23.5.1_Orangepi3-lts_bookworm_current_6.1.30. I'm trying to download in armbian-config kernel headers, but linux-headers-5.15.93-sunxi64 are downloaded. How to download kernel headers 6.1.30.?

We have a project based on FriendlArm's NanoPi Neo Air board. Currently the devices are running Armbian 18.04 LTS loaded from emmc. We are looking for a way to update the devices "offline" / with no user interaction. We can upload data to the devices via FTP and also can execute shell scripts. We can not easily access the on-board micro SD slot but have an external SD-Slot / USB-A Port with lots of free memory on each device. Any hints or explanations are very welcome!

Two days ago I upgraded the kernel to 25.5.1 (6.12.30-current-sunxi) from 25.2.3 (6.12.20-current-sunxi). Since then I have no longer been able to play a certain title (FLAC file) in mocp. In case it's relevant, the title is: "Malukah - Awake (The Dragonborn Comes)". Symptoms: dmesg starts showing kernel trace output at 1:43 of the song mocp finally stalls at 1:52 and it's impossible to interact with it from that point on Is there anyone here who would be able to provide pointers on how to debug this? I am a developer and I have done some work with Yocto/OE before and wouldn't be afraid to get at this with a debugger. Since it's nice…

Hi all, I'm planning to put together a low powered torrent downloader with Deliuge torrent client. One Question came to my mind. - Will the Cubieboard 1 Ubuntu image work in CLI without any mods? I want to use the Vanilla Kernel. Any guidance would be helpful.

I disconnected the Beelink X2 and connected it again and now there is no picture on screen. I tried several HDMI cables and tvs. What can I do so the player will work and show the picture? I tried flash the x2 firmware the flash was successful but still there is no picture. edit: now the red light on the x2 that shows the x2 connected to the electricity turns off and doesnt stay on like before.

CNX-Software just posted that H2 based Orange Pi Zero appeared on Aliexpress for $7. It has been showcased here before, but now is on sale officially, though I can't find 512MB version on the store pages. I'm eager to try 256MB version as my home IoT hub (mosquitto + nginx + uwsgi + Twisted, with MySQL database running on Zyxel NAS). It started with OPi PC then I switched to OPi One but I see it still can be lower spec device.

Hi, in the last weeks I'been trying to use the serial ports 5 and 6 (tty5, tty6) of the cubieboard2 using DTB but still not working. First of all, I must said that i'm not a linux expert, only a linux user with some experience and all the information below is the result of multiple weeks of internet research. for the moment i'm able to get the cubieboard2 to recognize the ports, and using a c++ program I write on all serial ports, i get a response from tty0 but can't get the gio pins of the serial ports 5 and 6 to work. here is what I have done so far: first, I downloaded the device tree compiler sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler then, nav…

Hi all. I have been doing some interesting reading here. Thank you that you started this project. I saw it already in 2014 I think when I bought my Pcduino 3 Version A but I wasn't sure back there if this project was for real. The reason why I bought Pcduino3 in the first place was an idea of a media client/server so I could hook it up to my TV and watch youtube and or Netflix and maybe have a little ftpserver on it so I can transfer my favorite tv shows to it (I currently live in germany but I do not speak/understand it fluently and all tv channels here and in german ) and watch them comfortably on the sofa (my back hurts if I sit too long by PC), and a smal…

Dear Armbian community, not sure if this the right place for this thread, please feel free to move it. I'm testing the Debian Installer Buster (alpha release) after seeing that there is (partial) support for the 5 there is (partial) support for the•Orange PI zero (H2+) and other boards. It seems that the u-boot packages in Debian miss the u-boot build for the Orange Pi zero and support for the Ethernet controller as it seems it is not the mainline kernel yet and seems to be needing some work in order to be available in kernel 4.15. Armbian already includes the u-boot build and has support for the Ethernet controller of the Orange…

Hi, I'd like to use kvm on the Orange Pi PC2, but the Armbian 4.14.12-sunxi64 kernel doesn't seem to enable it (or possibly the boot loader doesn't put the CPU in the right mode?). If I google: allwinner h5 kvm then the first hit shows a kernel boot log which shows kvm enabled on an Orange Pi PC2, so it looks like it's possible. I'm happy to recompile the kernel myself, but wanted to know if there were any gotchas that might mean this is disabled by default on purpose? Cheers, Tim.

Hi all, I've come upon a weird thing and I wanted to verify that I don't so something wrong. I've build a custom kernel module which is a PWM led device with an SPI interface. If I use the spidev, then everything works fine and I'm able to control the led. But when I'm using a custom device-tree and load the module then when I'm calling the `spi_write()` function then I'm getting an error (-22). The external device is actually an arduino nano that implements an I2C IIO light measurement device, using a dual light dependent resistor. Also I'm using the SPI channel to drive a led using PWM. It's very straight-forward a…

I started using armbian just a few days ago, I used the cb2 image. When I updated from 5.10 to 5.11 when I play a video, the video surface is darker, for example, instead of white I get grey. Just to be sure I put armbian 5.10 in another SD and videos played well, them update to armbian 5.11 and had the same problem with video playback. Does someone have any idea what is the problem? Until the problem is solved, how can I downgrade my armbian 5.11 to 5.10? Thanks.

Hi Forum, Please let me take a "low level" question about what I experienced on my CT. It should be my misunderstanding but it would be good if someone could help to clarify. On my CT udev mounts a USB device then starts a bash script in the background. This script lunches some bash threads and waits for them to complete. The threads has no common job on any file or resource. In the third level of nesting cp -r chrashes without any error message. It leaves the logging sentence in the middle, so it's really chrashes. rsync does the same but for different files. The scripts are fully functional if I start them from a root console. Even if started in the background.…

Hi, I seem to have "fried" the default Debug TTL UART (the 3 pins next to the hdmi connector). (connecting the ground of the usb-ttl to TX of the UART and leaving it there for a few minutes is not a good idea it seems :-)). The orangepipc+ still works when booting from emmc (armbian 5.17 debian jessie, kernel 4.7.3) but does not seem to want to boot from microsd (tried console only 5.17/4.7.3, 5.21/4.8.1). So I would like to debug that but whatever usb-ttl I connect I don't see anything (tried 3 different usb-ttl to make sure it was not the usb-ttl device)> My question: is it possible to see uboot messages (or at least the kernel boot) via a different port…

I tried to boot my brand new OrangePi PC Plus without SD card, and it boots to some Chinese OS. However, if I boot it with Armbian, it boots to Armbian. So my question is, is there some kind of "BIOS" or similar firmware preloaded on these devices? And if yes - is it possible to remove it with something else?

Good day friends, For some time now I've been trying a DAC (dac-pcm5102mk-i2s) with the Orangepi Pc Plus OS "Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.19.62-sunxi" to put into operation. Unfortunately without success so far. On another Orangepi Pc Plus with Ubuntu Xenial with Armbian Linux 3.4.113-sun8i I activated the DAC after the tutorial I2S on Orange Pi H3 Da Alchemist February 29, 2016. It works fine there. Debin strech does not have a script.bin that I could convert in order to be able to make the settings. I would be happy if someone could help me. Best regards Hans-Jürgen Grigoleit

armbianmonitor output: http://ix.io/4qwA I assume it's crashing as I have no display connected to it. Every few days I just notice I can no longer reach the network folder, but it works after a power off/power on. Not much running on it, samba for file share and deluge for occasional downloads. I also recently run an update, upgrade and dist-upgrade, but it didn't help. I don't really know what should I look for in the log.

Good morning, I am having some problems with the i2c-1 bus, as it sometimes gets stuck even though I have external pull-up resistors. I need to be able to reset the bus to fix it and check the status of the channels, but I don’t know which Linux GPIO corresponds to the physical pins that the kernel associates with PA18 and PA19. I have tried using wiringPi, but it doesn’t indicate this. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

When tweaking Armbian’s Build System I understand that it also builds u-boot and updates it when new sources are available. I understand, that the last one was updated on : [🌿] {u-boot:1} Cleaning u-boot tree [ u-boot-worktree/u-boot/v2024.01 for '' ] [🔨] [Mon Aug 25 11:11:25 PM CEST 2025] Running: git --no-pager clean -xfdq [🌱] Calling Python patching script for U-Boot: [ https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot - tag:v2024.01 ] [🌱] Using U-Boot patch dir: [ u-boot-sunxi ] Where is the latest build could be downloaded from and what is its flash procedure and recovery (if necessary) ?

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.

Hi, I'm using the very latest armbian build fpr orangepi+, and i'm trying to nat the network from a wireless interface to another wireless interface. My own LAN works, dns server works too, so i can connect to the orangepi+ but i can't make nat working. Is there some known issue about it, or a custom tutorial for nat with this build? thanks for help

I have also connected the serial and read the boot information. I used armbian-config and transferred armbian to HDD and it works, but I have to keep the miniSD plugged in. I ask you can boot from HDD and not use any SD? PS I read almost all posts here on the forum and tried the old procedures but it does not work. Spoiler =&g…

Hi all, I need to enable rts/cts on my OrangePi Zero with Armbian buster with Linux 5.4.26-sunxi installed. I added the "param_uart2_rtscts=1" (I'm using /dev/ttyS2) to the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file On mi code I use this initialization of the port. xxxxx.c_cflag |= port_parity | port_bits | port_stop | CLOCAL | CRTSCTS | CREAD; Not only rts/cts but also the tx and rx pin aren't working now. Has anyone managed to enable the port on this board? Am I doing something wrong?

Hello. I have a problem on my Orange PiPC+ board. After playing mp3 file, I hear some sound click. As I understand, snd driver goes to the power save mode. I tried to disable it.

Hello. I have an Orange Pi Zero board with Armbian on it. I want to use its serial pins for flashing arduinos. Right now I only have 1x3 serial pins and 1x13 media (?) pins soldered, the 2x13 GPIO doesn't have any pins and I don't have any spare ones to solder (alright, I might have some, but I'm too lazy for that). That means I only have access to UART0 pins which are currently reserved for Linux console. With RPi Zero and Raspbian the same problem was solved by simply removing "console=ttyAMA0,115200" from kernel options. However, Armbian seems to generate kernel options entirely from armbianEnv.txt, making it impossible to manually remove ser…

After a clean install of 22.11.1, I edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt to add: overlay_prefix=sun8i overlays=uart3 i2c0 spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 and reboot.

Im using Orange Pi PC+ with Debian 12 minimal image. I tryed to install/compile ovpn-dco-v2 as of standard deb (openvpn-dco-dkms) as well as of git (https://github.com/OpenVPN/ovpn-dco). In bouth cases compilation prcess itself was finished successfully but resulting driver ovpn-dco-v2.ko didn't work. In the first case, the driver caused a kernel error. In the second case, after "modprobe ovpn-dco-v2" , openvpn stuck somewhere in the middle and lsmod has hung down, blocking the console. Before installing the driver package i did: apt install build-essential kmod debhelper devscripts linux-headers-current-sunxi And as i thought everything went fine. …

Armbian_community_25.5.0-trunk.334_Orangepizero3_noble_current_6.6.75_gnome_desktop.img I downloaded above image with assumption that it would open desktop on first powerup.

Thanks in advance.

First of all I have to mention, that my knowledge of linux is very small. I started with raspberry about two years ago and switched to cubietruck. First I didn't use Igor's image, because I wanted to have a graphical front end. After getting used to putty and ftp I swithed to Igor's image - it was very convenient, small and fast. So I also bought a banana, when Igor published an image for it, and a cubox i Pro. All of those images worked out-of-the-box - it was a pleasure to work with it, especially for a noob. In the meanwhile I switched to RasPi2 for a while, but yesterday I wanted to start again with the other ones. So I downloaded the latest images. But big s…

Hi! I have an OPiPlus2, the official product page says that the soc runs on 1.6ghz, but the cpufreq-info says it's hardware limited to 1.3ghz, so what now? Thanks in advance and sorry if I miss something!

Sorry to ask that, i know there are tons of powerconsumption-discuss an optimization, and tewaking but i got lost. I just need to know how much Ampere a Nanopi NEO drains on fullload (4Cores), connnected with ethernet, no additional USB Hardware in default (no special h3consumtion). Especially boooting (i think armbian is throtteling on boot right?) is also very interessting. I need to buy a Powersupply which is sufficient for 15 NanoPi Boards in min and max consumption. Got very confused in reading the threads... But it seems 5V/2A is just a "be save in every situation" thing, and i think there is a "window" of throtttled booting and full-load 4 Core... So would…

Until the day Armbian can auto-configure HDMI output (with respect to a TV or DVI computer monitor), the thought occurred to me that the Beelink X2 defaults to Android KitKat 4.x, and from there maybe it's possible to plug in the TF card that you'll be rebooting into, then access the card from Android to makes changes, like: h3disp -m 720p60 -d If a DVI-monitor is expected to boot into. I was even brushing up on MIT App Inventor to make presets from Android side, but my skills drop off sharply at that point. The practical reason for his, is not only to show the neighbors but also have a media player anywhere there's a screen. In conclusion, I don't know what m…

Howdy, I set up a new OrangePi Zero with the Legacy 3.4.113 Ubuntu Xenial. I was able to get wifi working however when I try to do a sudo-apt get update or upgrade it freezes and crashes.

Hello, do you guys havea proper device configuration file for crosscompiling Qt apps to Armbian on my opi one? Couldn't find one online and the multitude of flags frankly confuse the heck out of me.

Hi guys, I have the bad idea to build up little by little some house automation with an opi1 that I don't use. Just for fun. So I'd like to start with armbian and build everything from there, with no precompiled images. The first thing I want to try is Google assistant. Can I use the assistant sdk that I can find on official website? Or there is something better for opi? Can I eventually integrate it with something like Hass.io or similar? I'm open for any advice. Thank you in advance
