HI! I have debian wheezy with kernel 3.4.106. When I ran nand-sata-install script, it executed successfully. But after that system doesn't boot from nand. Just black screen. Any help please?

I need to clone a bigger (almost empty) sd card to a smaller one. I use rpi-clone on RPIs but since armbian has a single partition rpi-clone (or its forks) doesn't seem to work :-/ https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone.git https://github.com/KoljaWindeler/pi-clone https://github.com/wbphelps/rpi-clone-wm.git Has anybody used successfully rpi-clone or other similar scripts on armbian? What is the best way for creating the smallest img files possible? With my RPIs I clone SDs to smaller ones, then I "zerofree" the created card and I backup it to an image file. I'm currently using this software on Windows which creates compressed img files so that I have no …

Hi, I'm using Cubieboard-2 Armbian_4.2_Cubieboard2_Debian_wheezy_3.4.108. The problem is that there is no Line in device, my test with arecord: I have no idea on how to activate the Line in configuration. Do I need to enable it in .fex script? Or there is no hardware support? Can anyone help me? Thanks

are the 1-wire modules built into legacy kernel ( 3.4.xx ) with debian jesse on an Olimex A20 LIME2 ( also the -SOM-4GB ) ?

Hello I've just started struggling with Lamobo-R1 SATA problems and I'm facing the well-known bad customer service from SinoVoip. With the help of this forum I got finally the HD spinning but I've not seen anything yet related to hd-idle package. I'd like to know if anybody uses it and if the instructions on http://hd-idle.sourceforge.net/ are correct to recompile for the BPI-R1 board. As a matter of fact I'm stuck at the line saying "Run "dpkg...." Thanks! V.

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, I'm using an Olimex Lime 2 board with the debian jessie image and 4.1.6-sunxi kernel. Is there a way to look at the battery state?

Hey, I am currently trying to get sending IR commands from my CubieTruck working. I am using Igors Armbian_4.2_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_3.4.108 image. But it seems like the modules are not initialised in a way that they also can send since irsend returns errors that this device does not support sending. I tried it with the hardware.conf from the image aswell as with the hardware.conf and init.d file from https://github.com/matzrh/sunxi-lirc/wiki. Apparently, I have to do "echo $GPIO-Number > /sys/class/lirc_gpio/tx_gpio_pin" which I did with the right pin so in theory, the driver should be set up the way it is supposed to be. Yet still irsend throws errors. Ca…

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, 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 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, just installed R1 image, solved power issues as described on this forum and now trying to configure it as classic home router. So I got a problem configuring DHCP server - system works in interfaces.r1 mode that means lan and wlan are bridged to wan. Wlan and Lan interfaces configured as manual that is not very handy, so I need to install DHCP server and make some NAT. And here goes a problem - I am not very skilled in linux networking and cant figure out how to combine NAT and R1 interfaces to get classical router behavior (externalDHCP-WAN-NAT192.168.0.1-internal DHCP-LAN and WLAN DHCP clients). Can someone give me directions? Maybe there is a way to install som…

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 installed the latest cubietruck image with kernel 3.4 and xfce4 like described in the FAQ. Everything works fine so far, except that the screen goes black after 30 minutes of inactivity or so and doesn't come back by pressing a key or moving mouse. It seems like a screen suspend or so and the monitor doesn't get any signal. I haven't installed any powermanager and Cubietruck is still running and everything is accessable via ssh, even x11. After reboot screen is working again till theres the above described inactivity. /var/log/syslog has only this message I don't understand: localhost rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 17' suspended, next retry is Tue Aug 18 12:…

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

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.

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…

Hi, I am trying to flash debian jessie 4.x to NAND( there is already wheezy there ), but it doesn't come up in the ./nand-sata-install device list. I would install wheezy, but the problem is that it is not working( not 3.x or 4.x ), I just get a black screen after Staring Kernel message and the green LED is flashing every few seconds. What should I try next? Thank you, Stefan

Hello I have a BPi-R1 with Igor's 3.2 image (http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/09/07/banana-pi-debian-sd-image/) that runs as a router (with pppoe) and nginx/php5/mysql config for my wife's blog and also with ez-ipupdate for dynamic dns I have a nasty issue... once every 2 or 3 days, my board freezes for no aparent reason It does this even if root is on SD card (only sd card connected) or HDD (I have a modified mSATA adapter to get power from 3,3V SATA power connector... I removed the 3,3V regulator and added a thick wire from the 3,3V provided by the board through the SATA connector) Also I moved from this configuration: to this fan gpio controlled (witch was ver…

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

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

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

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

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

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, 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…

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...

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. If the contents to be updated would be what kind of configuration information? I want you to tell me. Environment: -Debian jessie 4.1.4 -Cubietruck Best regards.

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!

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 there, i just wanted to report my experience with Igor Pecovnik's debian 4.1.2 image - especially since he says that I2C is untested with Kernel 4.0 and above. I have a PCTV DVB-C/T2 USB Stick (Triplestick 292e) and could make it work with my Cubietruck. I had to use Igor's compile script from the project website in my ubuntu virtual machine on Windows 7 to get the kernel sources and compile the kernel with the required options (the offered SD-Card image lacks support for I2C Multiplexing). To use this stick, you have to compile the kernel with I2C Multiplexing built in, and build the i2c mux modules for the chipset (I compiled all i2c_mux drivers as modules si…

Hi After reading this: "No audio driver, IR, NAND, BT, HW video, I2C and SPI untested on 4.0 or higher​" i'm not sure which kernel version should i choose. Is that "no audio driver" means that there is no HDMI audio, or no any audio including jack audio? Both kernels support the "Allwinner Security System cryptographic accelerator"? As i'm using CB2 as a headless java application server, samba fileserver, dlna server and music player daemon server, i need only jack audio from these, and of course the hw cryptographic support.

Hello Igor, I have a question, does the image has a built in NFS kernel module? I would like to use my CB2 board as an NFS server. Thanks PS.: on the site a small list about compiled kernel modules would be usefull

Hello, please help me. There Cubietruck. I can not load the SD card. Image "img" recorded via Win32Imager and tried Linux "dd", loading stops at the "Starting kernel", then begins again. Before that installing Lubuntu to NAND with Phoenix tools. Without SD card Lubuntu starting normal. Please tell me how to boot from an SD card, and tried Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty, the result is the same. ps. Sorry for the bad language

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…

Hello, I try to build a headless music server, that can - boot from nand then from ssd - audio needs to work, SPDIF and analog - runs mopify - Power on / off via script All Images I tried so far - Ubuntu Trusty, Ubuntu Trusty upgraded to Vivid, Debian Jessie - do somehow not support the Power button. Same to Lubuntu 2.0 stock and Stefanius images. I did install acpid and acpi-support-base I configured systemd as described here http://www.forum-cubieboard.de/Thread-cubietruck-pwr-on-powerknopf?page=3 just does not work.

Hallo, first I want to thank Igor for the creation of armbian, great stuff! Many thanks. Now to my issue: While setting up a Lamobo R1 with armbian i was not able to get F-keys F1 to F4 working in Midnight Commander (apt-get install mc). With all three flavours (whezzy, jessie and trusty) it is the same. I tried dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration dpkg-reconfigure locales to get it working with my german (qwertz) keyboard. The behaviour is the same for local and remote (ssh). Tried also to bulid new image based on https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib with # user DEST_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" # sl_SI.UTF-8, en_US.UTF-8 CONSOLE_CHAR="UTF-8" …

Hi, after some hours of not using the banana, it seems the system is dead. I cannot log in with a terminal. I cannot bring back the black screen to the console (i am using only the console) with a connected mouse and keyboard. All I can do is a reset. This is horrable, beccause the deamons in background should capture same data. Maybe is it an energie saver? How can I switch off them? Or how can I examine, what was happens? Thanx, Timbers

Gent's currently I run Igor's Debian Image on a BananaPi (kernel 3.4.105). I want to add the wifi driver for Ralink_RT5527. What is to do? Here my thoughts, - install header's - pull sunxi-kernel - copy config from running kernel - make menuconfig - add the driver - make correct ? Regards

Hi, I started to adjust RPi-Monitor's settings for the Banana Pi a while ago and reworked the whole stuff in the meantime (since it was focused on Banana Pi and some parts were too quick&dirty -- especially temp file handling of the temperature daemon). I also adjusted the consumption measurements for Lamobo R1 since it's the best idea to power the board through the LiPo battery connector -- for this case you need the axp209_cpu_pmu_temp_r1.conf template! Here you find an installation overview for RPi-Monitor (takes you 3 minutes if you are able to copy&paste): http://rpi-experiences.blogspot.fr/p/rpi-monitor-installation.html Here you find what's diff…

Hi Igor! I'm running your Image on BananaPi and BananaPro and I want to use the 7" Lemaker LCD... Image-Version: 3.2 Kernel 3.4.108 Wheezy How do I switch the script.bin-file? Do I have to change the symbolic link like: ln -s /boot/bin/bananapipro.bin /boot/script.bin In /boot/bin are all script.bin files, but the filesize of the BananaPro BIN-files are identical: 50516 bananapi.bin 50580 bananapilcd7.bin 50612 bananapipro.bin 50612 bananapiprolcd7.bin The original BIN-files from Lemaker have a different size too: 50972 banana_pi_7lcd.bin 50564 banana_pro_7lcd.bin Did you make any changes in the BIN-files? Can I use the BIN-Files …

Hi, I've just downloaded the July 12th image with the 3.4.108 kernel from http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2013/12/24/cubietruck-debian-wheezy-sd-card-image/. After booting from SD card i can't seem to reach ssh on this machine. I can ping it though ping times vary between 1 and 220ms. I tried to boot several times but nothing changes. With the 4.x kernel i was able to boot and ssh into. Any idea?

Hi to All! Currently i am using 3.4.107-cubietruck #14 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 29 11:57:42 CEST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux including a WLAN USB Adapter AWUS036AC from ALFA. First question: Does anybody got this adapter to work with a cubietruck as a WLAN-AP? Second question: If yes, what driver did you use for the successful implementation? Third: How to disable the onboard WLAN? I want to use it as a 5GHZ (AC-standard) WLAN-AP! Many thanks in advance. Regards, Ireng

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

Hi All, after next collapse of our network I used the hammer to destroy the R1. This board is really shit and I will never ever continue with any kind of experiments with it. The reason is probably BCM chip. But I am not sure. Everything works well on the table, you can stress it as much you want , everything works well. But when you use it for real traffic, the board starts to collapse, unexpected restarts etc. I followed all recommendations of you, but without success. The question is ... Which board for router I have to use? Any ideas welcome. Petr P.S. If somebody wants R1 for home router/NAS (for home is ok), I have two available, the third ended …

How to get a headphone or simple mic to work on a ct as recording device? In vanilla armbian for ct capture_use and playback_use are undefined in script.bin and # arecord -l does not list any devices. According to http://www.cubieforums.com/index.php/topic,2211.msg20637.html#msg20637 I changed both values with bin2fex / fex2bin to "1", rebooted and now I get **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: sunxicodec [sunxi-CODEC], device 0: M1 PCM [sunxi PCM] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 But any try to capture noise from different microphones or headsets does not work.

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

Hi there, I tried your images for orange pi, but doesnt work on orange pi mini 2. I tried ALL the images on the factory site, but somehow they placed copies of images for other models.

Any ideas? Great work btw!
