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 all, if someone need, I adapted for nagios the script to monitor battery cubietruck.

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. Thanks and best regards, Jochen

Hi, I have been using the Aruntu 2.0 desktop for CubieTruck on my sailboat mainly to run an OpenSource charting program called OpenCPN. On Aruntu I was able to compile from source and it worked well. Aruntu is no longer supported, so I am trying to switch to ArmBian. I can compile on ArmBian, but OpenGLES is not found, so the program defaults to software OpenGL which is very slow. How can I install OpenGLES support, in order to use the hardware video accelleration ? Thanks, JM.

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 …

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.

hi, I am th owner of a lamobo r1 card. Last days i'have tried more than 10 debian/bananian/ubuntu/raspian/openwrt image. Most of them work fine. Community image are often better than sinovoip one ... Unfortunatly, my sata HDD never work. I'm using a seagate 1TB SSHD. I currently using the armbian ubuntu image. At boot, the hdd spin up and stop, and ubuntu don't boot.

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?

What should I try next? Thank you, Stefan

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.

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?

Sir, I put ubuntu trusty image on Sd card in A20-micro-4gb board. I connected serial cable to uart0 connector which has 4 pins tx,rx,gnd,3.3v. But the log shown is strange. Minicom settings are 115200, 8N1. Please confirm that debug interface is on uart0 or any other pins.

First Boot is Ok and then at second Booting of the above image, I receive the usual Out of Sync messaage (67.5kHz / 60 Hz) message and no display! regards, hitam4450

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. I installed it to boot from NAND and store the rootfs on SATA /dev/sda1. When I powered it up with HDMI connected to the TV and micro sdcard plugged in, I see the red armbian logo shows up, but then display turns off and nothing. If I login with ssh I see that /boot is mounted to NAND and rootfs is indeed in /dev/sda1. If I boot without micro sdcard plugged I don't see any display output on the TV, but still the device boots up and the mounts seems the same, /boot on /dev/nand1 and /dev/sda1 is the rootfs.

Dear Igor, I made a custom 4.1 kernel with your script, where a staging driver (mn88472) is included. I'am trying to use an Astrometa DVB stick with mn88472 demodulator, but it's not working. Everything seems fine, no errors, every module loaded, firmware is in it's place. If I run wscan, it goes through every frequency, but it doesn't find any channel. The most weird thing is that two or three times it worked, but I don't know why, and I am not able to reproduce it. (I am using DVB-C so it's sure that the signal is fine) I investigated the source code of the mn88472 module, and as I see, I should get a notice about the firmware load status. An error message o…

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…

I downloaded and booted successfully from the Debian Jessie image available on http://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-a10/ for the LIME. Now I'd like to install an image to NAND, but there's currently no 3.4 kernel version available for the A10. (I've also checked the mirror). I was wondering (before breaking my neck trying to build it) whether this was simply due to no image having been built yet, or due to some circumstances making it impossible to run a 3.4 on the LIME A10? Thanks

Hi, Firstly, congratulations for your amazing work… it's impressive. I have a question regarding the SD image for A10 Lime (Linux 4.x)… Can I enable a raw serial device on /dev/ttyS1 which will use the uart0 of the FEX file? If I understand the FEX documentation, the FEX is no longer used on this kind of image, in favor of DTB files. So, how can I manage to modify the DTB file in order to customize my uart settings ? And, finally, how can I obtain a raw serial device on /dev/ttyS1 which will use it ? Regards, Anthony.

Hi, I would like to ask you guys if you have any experience in deploying a Hadoop Cluster on cubieboard2. I am using Debian jessie 4.1.4 and I am having a lot of trouble doing it. The problem is with the ports, they are not opening when I start the hadoop daemons, so my question is: Is it even possible to deploy hadoop on Debian Jessie 4.1.4? I have tried everything. Fresh install, deploy a configured hadoop cluster that was working on ubuntu 14.04 LTS, forcing the ports to open which took me to an unsolvable error( related to Protocol Buffers ), but the main problem is the ports not opening, giving the Connection Refused error. Please share your knowledge…

Hi, i found some issues in the ubuntu and debian images. Maybe it is better to generate bug reports? _ubuntu_ * the boot console output at HDMI is interrupted, i dont see all messages. The console is back if the boot is complete and i see the login prompt. * the harddisk isnt working * at my lamobo board i found messages about usb resets * swconfig isnt generating interfaces like eth0.101 or eth0.102 * i put my swconfig under /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/swconfig, maybe this is the problem _debian_ * if i put my swconfig at /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/swconfig the eth0.101 and eth0.102 devices are generated, but no traffic can be send or received * …

Hi igor, when are you going to release the next version (4.1.15) of your debian based image? I wait for it to be able to set up the testing server soon for a new system. Thanks in advance for your contributions and for your efforts Best regards, ireng

Hi Igor, I grabbed your 4.1 image, flashed it onto the microsd Card and boot the cubietruck. However, I received the message from my display: Out of specification: 67.5kHz / 60 Hz. The first boot is ok, but after starting the kernel the screen turns black and above mentioned message apears. This happens on the analouge (VGA) input and on the digital input (DVI) as well. How to fix the problem?? I never had any display problems with all your images. never! This is the first time. I might to use your 4.0 image to return into operation again. regards, hitam4450

Hi! I am experiencing problems with sd image install into NAND.

Hello, I'm using an SPI device with my board and kernel 3.4. It works like a charm, except that in the bin/fex file I had to add the following lines : [spi_devices] spi_dev_num = 2 [spi_board0] modalias = "spidev" max_speed_hz = 1000000 bus_num = 2 chip_select = 0 mode = 3 full_duplex = 0 manual_cs = 0 [spi_board1] modalias = "spidev" max_speed_hz = 1000000 bus_num = 1 chip_select = 0 mode = 3 full_duplex = 0 manual_cs = 0 without those lines, no /dev/spidevX.Y Now I'm testing new kernels (Jessie Kernel 3.19 / 4.0.4 mainline) and it seems that the bin/fex is ignored now. It uses the device tree files. (/boot/dtb/) but I don't know what I have to do to get my…

Hi, I'm using the Igor-Image: Linux cubieboard2 4.0.5-cubietruck #12 SMP Thu Jun 11 19:18:02 CEST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux I installed a program that is using a PID-file, normally under: /var/run/fhem/fhem.pid I created a sub-folder and changed the owner and permissions. With the next reboot, all changes where lost. I noticed that the /var/run is linked to /run and this is a tmpfs. So, is there an option to add a subdirectory permanently to /run? Alternatively I will add a short script, that will do these operations after reboot, but in my opinion, that is not the fancy way... greets brenndorfler

Hi Igor, I've a Pcduino 3 (not B or nano). Can you build an image for him? .FEX exists (https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards/blob/master/sys_config/a20/linksprite_pcduino3.fex) and I think the difference it's only a patch for GMAC. I'm newbee and I try to install your system on my board but I don't know how... I followed your post on Armbian...I created ' output ' but now? What am I doing? which files write on sdcard and how (dd?) May be I didn't see the tuto after to build image... Best regards JohnGO

Dear All, I have used Igors Debian Wheezy Image for a long time and now and found nothing to complain about. Just for the case I tried to create a backup of my sd card and created an image using dd if=/dev/sdX of=/backup.img And now the "unforseen" happened and I needed to create a new sd card. When copying the image back with dd if=/backup.img of=/dev/sdX I will get a newly created image but I am not able to boot anymore using this card. And it is getting even worse. When interrupting the boot process and issuing the relevant boot commands (run loadkernel; run setargs; bootm 0x48000000) in uBoot directly the system is running perfectly whereas the unattended boot wi…

Hi all, i was installing Igor's images with jessie, they are good, but i had issue that /tmp was not mounted on tmpfs , so if somebody interested... here is my solution: in file /etc/default/tmpfs lowering a little bit TMP_SIZE uncommented yes: RAMTMP=yes and then: systemctl enable tmp.mount and reboot Kind regards,

hello, thank you for your image for olimex A10 it's perfect on sd card but i want put in the sata drive i start command ./nand-sata-install and when finish , reboot but reboot , reboot , reboot , etc.... i not understand can you help , thank you

Hi there, i needed to recreate my cubietruck as a VDR with a brand new image. I´ve choose the plain http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Armbian_4.2_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_4.1.6.zip image to install but after booting it got stuck at "Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)!" and after many minutes " (TIME) Time out waiting for device dev-ttyS0 device. (DEPEND) Dependency failed for Serial Getty on ttyS0." appears. I downloaded the 3.4.108 kernel image which installed and ran ok apart of that the USB connection dropped after a while which is a problem for my VDR: [ 8.301636] eth0: PHY ID 001cc915 at 0 IRQ 0 (sunxi_gmac-0:00) active [ 8.306840] eth0: PHY ID 001cc915 a…

As soon as I installed the latest version of the Wheezy I have found that there is some problem with an USB. When I start my Orange PI I can see that USB devices are power supplied from the bus only first a few seconds (when the bootloader is active I guess) and then being switched off. When I plug an USB device and supply it externally then it seems to be working well. My question is: how to switch on power supply of the USB port on my Orange PI? I have read a number of linux forums and found nothing. Very promising seems a command echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/level or similar but unfortunately it has no effect. Any hint, guys? Thanks a lot. Radek

Can anyone help to provide guides since it is disable by default? Thanks in advance.

How can I disable the auto login as the root user in the cubietruck ubuntu (XFCE)? That does not sound a good idea. How could I auto login with a different user? The GUI settings editor "display chooser" inside Session Startup doesnt work. I've been looking around how to do that, but in this case I cant find the config file which was supposed to be inside /etc/lightdm/ Thanks and congratulations for your work.

It seems 4.2 image was published, it seems file of kernel and dtb for cubietruck is not prepared, I think there is a reason? Best regards.

Friends I want to use A20 for our IP calling project which include Linphone. I confirmed from IGOR that there is no sound issues regarding audio driver while capturing voice from microphone or getting audio from headphone jack with his debian images. I only have to confirm that did anybody use LINPHONE on A20 debian or trusty system.

Hello i am working at project with olinuxino micro and USB 3G modem. From my experience i sometimes i need hard reset modem (turn off,turn on from USB connectro) i see that power is controlled by USB1-DRV (PH6) and USB2-DRV (PH3) I try to manually set this pins (PH6 and PH3) to LOW and after some time HIGH level to turn off and on power on USB connectors but this pins i see isn't configured as normal GPIO pins. so i have error in pyA20 - that this pins aren't GPIO. I ma a hardware guy so i have only a little experience in programming Can anybody help me with this ? Best Regards Robert // edit for others : i just find on cubieboard foru…

Hi all, i'm trying compile 3.4.*, i used normal way - i downloaded scripts to manage it, i'm successful with compilation but my issue is that i want to connect relay to banana pi J12 (DIP8) pin 5 which should be PH3 on A20 and that relay should be connected in parallel to switch button on PC ... so it means each switch (even fast) of the level can start turn off pc :-( so my issue is that uboot default configs for banana pi is having irrelevant configuration of pins that are prepared on connectors to be used as GPIO ... for example PH3 and PH5 at banana pi's J12 are not related to VBUS of USB as it's written in configs and fex, please somebody could tak…

What module should I load to get SPI working on 4.x kernel image? My usual suspect spi_bcm2708 is not available. I once used it on Banana Pi M2 from other manufacturer (SinoVOIP?) with Raspbian, now on Banana Pro I'm stuck with not working SPI.

Dear Igor, I want to compile a kernel for banana pro, there is an error. Show you how to fix it? Preferably with the new kernel. PS Sorry for my English

The FAQ says the username is "root" and the password is "1234", but the password for the root user on at least the image in Lamobo-r1_Debian_3.2_jessie_4.1.2.zip is "pi" (apparently also the default bananian password). edit: nope, I'm just an idiot. The docs are right. Sorry! Don't see a way to delete this topic, but I would if I could.

Hello, sorry for my very bad english. I have installd the desktopimage for the bananapi m1. It works. But same programms does work because the autmatic login user is root. So exaile, chromium-browser does start. Synatipc starts from the gui after starting the AT-bus programm (see menu starting programms) Tunar needs to install the gvfs-backend, then you can see the computers in the network. To change the language in the gui you need to install the language-pack-de (for german). I have also a cubitruck and thin this problems also in the image for the cubietruck. The first problems can solved when the automic user is not root. The other w…

Hi Igor, hi all, I use a BPi M1 and today I tested Igor's debian wheezy 4.1.2 image. It works really great. Thanks a lot. As mentioned in the FAQ I had a look at /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils. As written there it is possible to change the frequencies. The possible values are stored in "scaling_available_frequencies". The default value for "max_speed" in Igor's image is "max_speed=1010000". But this value ist not available inside "scaling_available_frequencies". "cpufreq-info -m" tells the current policy: frequency shoukd be within 480-960 MHz. 960 MHz is the maximum value in "scaling_available_frequencies". Normally BPi is able to run at 1008 MHz. How can I change…

Hello, I used the Wheesy version for my web server with virtual host that worked. The site is in / var / www / bbp / public_html / Now , I use the Jessy version with the same structure , Apache does appear to me that the page "default". I have no error when validating the virtualhost , I raise apache well and nothing is displayed for the site " bbp / public_html / " I do not understand what can no longer function . Thanks François

The latest mainline u-boot + lamobo R1 patch does not appear to work when you try dhcp or ping on a Lamobo R1 (also known as Banana Pi R1) board. I wonder if the u-boot code needs to be modified to take care of the specifics of the GMAC/switch chip on a Lamobo R1 board. The defconfig for Lamobo R1 is the same as that for Banana Pi. Please shed some light to this issue. Thanks a lot. JLu

I just tried out kernal 4.1.4 and whenever I try to boot (first run) I get a kernal panic just before the automatic reboot. After the reboot, the same process occurs. Tried Debian wheezy, Debian jessie and Ubuntu Trusty kernal 4.1.4, build 5.8.2015

I just reinstalled my Cubietruck with the Debian jessie, image from http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Cubietruck_Debian_4.1_jessie_3.4.108.zip. Only one core is available. What could I do so that the two cores are detected? For what it's worth, the bootloader briefly displays a "checksum error" message. Could it be that I'm still using the old bootloader from the previous installation? (It was Debian wheezy in summer 2014.) Thanks in advance for advice.

Hello, I'm newbie with linux and the Cubietruck. What is the difference between the version Wheesy, Jessy and Trusty ? Thanks François

hey, it is nearly everything said in the title. I want to use my cubietruck for playing streamed videos on my beamer. I don'T want to take my pc to the living room everytime i want to watch tv on my beamer, so i hope, there is a way to get the cubietruck working with vlc mediaplayer. Any tipps?

Hey guys, my cubietruck doesn'T recognize my usb keyboard at all, while he is booting. It is a logitech mk300 wireless keyboard. with aruntu and other stuff it worked without a problem. The keyboard works, i am writing this text with it. When cubie boots, it checks the usb devices and sais unable to get device descriptor. Is this a known bug? I have no other keyboard, so cubie is useless for me... I have tried different images and versions, allways the same error...

Hi Igor, I've read about your latest image and I'd like to obtain the stability fixes you've made. Is there a way to get this without doing a whole fresh installation? Idoubt that an aptitude upgrade will bring me these changes!? Thanks and best regards, Jochen

i have just downloaded the new version (dated 5-8) for jessie 4.1.4 for the cubietruck. it runs till it gets the greetings screen but then hangs and says: time timed out waiting for device dev-ttyS).device. depend dependency failed for serial getty on ttySO. -- i had a hdmi monitor, but then connectted a vga monitor (both show the initial informations) - the same result. what did i wrong? andrew ps. thank you for adding the upgrade using ppa!

the nand-sata-install always proposes the sda1 as a destination. this did not fit what i needed. i have had success by editing the file and replace all sda1 with sdxx (whatever i need) and then it works (the information gives the wrong size in the initial screen). i looked into the code (but i do not understand bash programming): it seems that sda1 is hardwired despite the intention to find all possible destinations and to offer them. it is a useful utility, as it does several things at once (copy stuff, change fstab) which are otherwise separate coordinated steps. thank you for the utily! andrew install into nand did the correct copying, but did not …

Hello, In additional items of v4.1, auto system update via repository apt.armbian.com You have written and has been added, if you have upgraded from v4.0, source.list of apt does not seem to have been updated.

Hi, I successfully installed owncloud on the Cubietruck. Because of owncloud, I decided to give jessie a try, since there are more packages I need already included. Got all that working. Now, I wanted to make the Cubietruck into a wireless AP following the instructions in the FAQ on Igor's blog. However, i am getting nowhere. After boot, hostapd seems to be running: ps -elf | grep hostapd 1 S root 677 1 0 80 0 - 1040 poll_s 18:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hostapd -B -P /run/hostapd.pid /etc/hostapd.conf However, the SSID is not picked up by any client, so it seems as if it is not braodcast. However, it is not hidden either, since I cannot …

Hi, I'm using the 3.4.107 kernel at the moment and I have also attached an HDD. Now I have the problem that the CUbietruck get's unresponsive once every 1-2 weeks and because of the ramlog I have no logs to see what the problem is. All services stop working, but power is still "on". My only idea is to replace ramlog solution by "normal" logfile writing (and because I use an HDD it's maybe better to directly write on HDD in any case) to have infos when the machine crashes the next time. What I do need to do for that (I'm not really a linux expert ;-) ). Thanks for help. Ingo F
