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.

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

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

Hi, I've tried to set up my new cubietruck with Igor's Debian-3.8-wheezy-4.0.4 image but first, it can't bring up eth0 and then gets stuck at restarting sshd.

How to get a headphone or simple mic to work on a ct as recording device?

Hi, I just started to fiddle around with my Cubietruck (since I exchanged it with a Banana Pi for productive stuff). I had to realize that /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ is missing and that cpufreq-info outputs "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU" correctly. Anyone else seeing this behaviour? Cpufreq support should be back with 4.0? Based on a sysbench run ("sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=5000 run --num-threads=2" -- takes 58 seconds) I would suppose it's running not even at 960 MHz (since 960 should finish in less than 54 seconds). I did some iperf tests (not that promising, just 600/650 Mbits/sec) and iozone with my usual test…

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 …

Hello and thanks in advance. I have installed the IMG Debian Wheezy With kernel 3.4.x, when income Rpi monitoring tells me I have 11 upgradeable packages, but if I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade returns me that there is nothing to update. Moreover Igor saw yesterday published an update, it is possible to upgrade without reinstalling everything? The problem that I have and which I intend to upgrade is that once a day or once every two days or ethernet banana itself hangs and can not access until I restart the banana pi. Thank you very much and apologize for using google translator.

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. (debian images are the same) Only image so far worked: lubuntu, but when i login, ssh session is killed. (as well root/orangepi as orangepi/orangepi) its driving me nuts to get this working. Any ideas? Great work btw!

Igor, Firstly, many thanks for some fantastic work.... I use your images for Audio streaming via USB. I have a cambridge Audio DAC sitting on the USB port and it works 99% flawlessly, even at 192k/24bit with only the occasional pop etc. I've noticed though that after a while, the "server" starts to have problems and the browsing of server stops working, with unused devices disappearing. A reboot is the only way to resolve. I've also noticed a possible memory leak and with a bit of googling, I see there's a problem with.. "Kernels versions 2.6.25 through 2.6.28.8 have a bug in USB EHCI controller driver that leads to large memory leaks with isochronous devices like …

hallo, i downloaded debian jessy image with kernel 4.0.5 from there: http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Lamobo-r1_Debian_3.1_jessie_4.0.5.zipand installed it on bananapi. at first boot seems to be system self-autoconfigured and reboots. Now i see that /etc/network/interfaces is linked with interfaces.r1 and in /boot i found those files: config-4.0.5-lamobo-r1, System.map-4.0.5-lamobo-r1, vmlinuz-4.0.5-lamobo-r1. can it be that autoconfiguration has my bpi as router configured. How can i fix that manualy? nex question: on the boot i see one pinguine, but while bpi has 2 cores it shoul be 2 pinguins or not ? best regards Marijus

//Update2: is there anyone have sunxi_cedar_mod.ko module for 3.4.107 kernel? //Update1: I've changed and recompiled script.bin file and now screen turn on, great! Hi, I tried 3.4.107 wheezy on my Micro with HDMI screen. It show some image and message at boot, and then there's no signal to display. I also tried to change display resolution in "boot.scr" file, and tried "a10disp changehdmimodeforce 4" command, and ssh terminal show: sunxi disp kernel module version is 1.0 Cannot change HDMI mode because HDMI is not enabled.

The page for the Banana Pi image says: "Known bugs or limitations Latest 3.4.107 image have some stability issues. Build from sources or wait for update." I have some questions about this: - What kind of stability issues should I expect? I am seeing some network problems currently, however a lot of hardware in my network was replaced recently so I'm not sure if the banana pi is the source of these problems. The banana pi never locks up/show kernel oops/etc. - How would building from source help? I would expect to get the same image with the same problems. - When can I expect a new image to be available? Is it enough to download an old kernel from the archive? Or is t…

Hello, I'm using a BananaPi and just tried the latest version (10.6.2015, Linux 4.0.5) of your great distribution.

Greetz // Pozdrav vsem uporabnikom vsezmagovalcev! I am planning to use my Cubietruck for a general-purpose desktop computer to surf the internet, write documents, watch movies (youtube, VLC, lan/dlna), etc. Basically I'd like to install a lightweight desktop image on it and connect it to my SmartTV in the living room via a short HDMI cable. I'll probably need video acceleration for a 1080p resolution. Thing is I'm currently in a bit of a dilemma because there are so many premade images out there, and most of them seem outdated. Can you recommend me which image to use for my goal (possibly a LTS release)? I've been leaning towards Lubuntu, but I see debian has som…

Hi all, i'm trying to install Digital Persona SDK on a olimex A20. Driver and lib's are ok.

Hi All! I had the same problem with several different kind of wifi SoC-s on an R1 board, with different operating systems: wifi is slow and unreliable in AP mode. Both with integrated RTL8192CU, an external RTL8192EU, RT3570 and RT5370, various Atheros chipset based dongles - all of them is very slow. I had no any problem on single-eth BananaPi board, but i got less than 2mbit up/download speed on a 30mbit+ network... I tried several OpenWrt versions (official 1,2,3 and latest trunk), now i tested Igor's ubuntu with the same result: slow and lagging Do You have same experience? Or is it working fast? Any idea? Best regards, Peter

Hi All, Is here somebody, who use R1+SATA disk+wifi together? (with Igor's great debian with kernel 3.4.107) When I switch on wifi, everything seems to be ok. I live in highly interfered area, so performance is sometimes low, but everything works for several hours. After several hours my R1 gets frozen. Last log message is "DHCP ACK" from my wifi printer. The question is, can it be power issue? I have USB power meter and current sometimes exceed 1,5A, but voltage holds still above 5V. When I tested the board with OpenWRT, I had connected USB LTE modem to R1, wifi was switched on too, but system was stable. Another thing is that OpenWRT has a bug in wifi driver and…

Hey kids, it is me, again! So, this time I found out (well, you maybe knew it before and I am dumbing around again) that voltage control does not work on Banana Pi (at least) mainline kernel. Well, if I am supposed to change it in linux-mainline/arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20.dtsi. I tried to reach 1248000kHz, which is, of course, unstable. So I was adding and adding voltage, until I was too afraid to continue (1650000mV ). But BananaPi was unstable the same way (freez after few minutes of FTP transfer), no more (bad charger) or no less (would still need more voltage). So after few hours of re-compiling source and listening wonderful music I tried this: 1248000(kHz)…

Hello Igor and congrats for your contribution and regards to community! As the title points, is there any chance to create a Lubuntu image that will out of the box support all Pis (Banana Pi, Banana Pro, BPi-R1) with SATA, audio, networking and video acceleration? If it's too much, does anyone knows what OS is close to that requirements at least for BPi-R1? Or can we build something like this from scratch with your resources? I tried to create a new image based on LeMakers Lubuntu for Banana Pi (http://jubitoblog.blogspot.gr/2015/06/jubitos-z-operating-system-for-internet.html - http://jubitoblog.blogspot.gr/2015/02/jubitos-for-banana-pi.html) without much luck, …

I'm considering buying a Banana Pro, and I assumed I could just install a standard version of Debian Jessie directly from the official installer according to this and this, albeit without graphics or audio support. But then I came across this page and I'm not quite sure I understand the differences between Igor's images and regular a Debian installation. Is it the just the option to choose sunxi/4.0.5 kernel, some (or rather, a lot of) tweaks and scripts and drivers for misc components (IR, LVDS, etc)? I plan to use it as a headless server, what would be the advantages of running Igor's images vs a regular install? Also, on a separate question, is there any other bo…

Your kernel does not appear to be compiled with support for unprivileged user namespaces (CONFIG_USER_NS=y), or something else is preventing creation of user namespaces. This feature is critical for sandboxing. Arch Linux is known to ship with a kernel that disables this feature; if you are using Arch, you will unfortunately need to compile your own kernel (see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36969).If you are not using Arch, and don't know why your system wouldn't have user namespaces, please file a bug against Sandstorm so we can figure out what happened. .....anyone?

I've prepared a SD card for CubieTruck. I chosen Ubuntu trusty 21.5.2015,4.0.4 from the download. I followed the instruction by using "dd bs=1M if=filename.raw of=/dev/sdx" command as presented on the website. However, my Cubietruck didn't boot up. Currently, I am using Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3 and Kernel version is 3.4.79. I have already changed rootfs from NAND to hd. Do I miss some steps for preparing this SD card? Thank you very much

I don't know if this is normal. Sorry if this a stupid question, :huh: but I don't know why there are inside of the /boo/bin directory a bananapi.bin and bananapipro.bin but on the /boot directory the image target the bananapi.bin instead of bananapipro.bin.

Hello, I'm a newbie an Linux and bananaPI. Actually, i uses an debian wheezy image of Igor's (Bananapi_Debian_2.8_wheezy_3.4.107) with openmediavault and one sata drive. I would like add an sata multiplier on my BananaPI. I find this tuto : http://www.htpcguides.com/rebuild-bananian-kernel-with-sata-port-multiplier-support/ I don't know if this procedure works an the debian image of Igor's ? please confirme me I think the line " git clone https://github.com/Bananian/linux-bananapi.git--depth 1 " isn't good ?

Hi Igor, i installed the new linux-jessie-root-cubietruck_3.8_armhf.deb pkg on CT3.6 (jessie) I shortly see the device is booting but blank screen comes afterwards. network (wifi) does not work either. any hint? thanks so far br ecod

Hello Igor, Hello community, What I have: 1 Raspberry PI B (its just a toy) 1 Radxa Rock (bad SW support, will replace Odroid C1 in case AP is running stable, maybe never) 2 Banana PIs (file server) 1 Odroid C1 (AD DC and AP, but actually I have no trust in the hardware) since one of my Banana PI has trouble with SATA (will not initialize, but seems to be NO power problem) I will buy a new A20 board... - Cubieboard 2: too old, no Gigabit LAN, too expensive from my point of view - Cubietruck: too expensive from my point of view - Orange PI: reading forums... seems to have some HW problems, USB Host and/or SATA not functional, etc.) - Banana PI: I like…

Hi Igor, after trying and failing totally with Bananian etc. I found your images. So I installed the Jessie image 21.5.15 / 3.4.107 on my BananaPro which seemed to boot up somehow. I can ping the BananaPro fine but can't login via SSH. The SSH connection simply times out, even after rebooting the BPro. Do you or anyone else know what to do? Thanks!

Hello igor! Thank you. The last build 3.0 jessie with kernel 4.0.4 works fine. But i had some problem with first boot after installation. After i try to change password for root bpi drop connection and after reconnection password still was 1234. I tried about 5 times. I had to reboot bpi with disconnect power and after reboot i was able to change password normally.

Dear Igor and friends, I need your help. I have DVK522+CB2 and I can not use the touch screen (ft5x_ts). For three months I'm trying to understand how it works, and I have learned a lot. But only the touchscreen does not working. I builded ubuntu as told Igor's site. I instald the xorg, lxde and lxdm and edit the fex file. What am i doing wrong? Thank you very much! PS I am a beginner in Linux and i sorry for my English.

Ok - first, i'm a noob, - second, I am in over my head. I am attempting to install Plex on my banana Pro - which i did. Up and working just fine. http://www.htpcguides.com/install-plex-media-server-on-banana-pi-with-bananian/ The issue that i'm having is that I am having trouble mapping/mounting a drive. I am using this command but get an error: mount –t cifs //networkip/share /local/linux/folder –o username=usernameonwindowsmachine,password=passwordforwindowsmachine I put in: "mkdir /mnt/nas" - and that works. When I type everything out, it looks like this: mount –t cifs //192.168.1.42/mnt /nas –o username=321barnes,password=Password th…

Hi, Looks like kernel config CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG=y has been set in the Debian Jessie 4.0.4 build. That means, that when I have I/O to a usb-storage device, systemd-journald is consuming ~70-90% CPU time on consuming debug log lines from the kernel. Is this by purpose? How would I be able to filter or disable all this log content from the kernel to journald?

Hi! I'm trying to use the image Cubietruck_Debian_3.8_jessie_4.0.4.raw with my CubieTruck, but run into problems when trying to use an external LUKS-disk which is encrypted using aes-xts-plain64. 'cryptsetup luksOpen' informs the following: device-mapper: reload ioctl on failed: No such file or directory Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/<xxxx>. Check that kernel supports aes-xts-plain64 cipher (check syslog for more info). 'cat /proc/crypto | grep name' lists only this, which seems kinda minimal: name : stdrng name : stdrng name : crc32c name : deflate name : ecb(arc4) name …

Hello everybody, I have installed the banana pi image Bananapi_Ubuntu_2.8_trusty_3.19.7. Almost everything works fine but I am missing a usb driver: https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx All my attempts of installing the driver failed: - when I try to use a ko-file from a different ubuntu version, I geht the error: "Exec format error" - when I try to compile the source from the link above, I get an "compiler too buggy" error - when I update the compiler and try to make the source, I get: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `arch/arm/tools/gen-mach-types', needed by `include/generated/mach-types.h'.

Hi there, I've been "playing" around various debian images for my lime2 and http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/11/18/olimex-lime-debian-sd-image/ seems to be the most achieved so far. Stable and everything. The only thing I miss is the "change_display.sh" tool so that I can easily configure my board to switch between the Olimex LCD and the HDMI screen. Would it be possible to add these tools in the next image ? I understand that it requires sunxi-tools and a few other things but it looks a bit complicated for me. Thanks for the feedback. Maxime

Hello readers, i just tried out the new jessie with 4.0.4. But after start it stops @: ---- Welcome to Debian GNU/LINUX 8 (jessie)! [TIME] Timed out waiting for device dev-ttyS0.device.

Hi all, I've one minor issue with my Lamobo R1. I've to set the coherent_pool to > 256KiB to get my USB DVB device working. But every time I set the coherent_pool to e.g. 2M and regenerate the boot.scr the device gets in an endless boot loop (starting uboot - starting kernel - changes resolution and starts to load drivers - but then crashes with graphic errors and starts all over again). Is there something I can do against this? I've compiled the v3.0 with Jessie 3.4.107 with following kernel paramters configured (and sunxi uboot v2015.04): MEDIA_SUPPORT=m VIDEO_DEV=m SOUND=m GMAC_FOR_BANANAPI=y CMA=y CMA_SIZE_MBYTES=16 Greetings, Oliver

Hi Igor, could you please look into the character set problem mentioned in the comments? Jessie kernel 3.4: Line-drawing graphics for programs like aptitude or mc don't work. The screen displays garbled characters instead, which renders all programms with a graphic interface unusable :-(. After install I noticed that dpkg-reconfigure locales did not work as expected. LANGUAGE stays en_US and LC_MESSAGES stays posix. I configured them manually # update-locale LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8 but german umlauts (äöü) still don*t work although the system now seems to be configured correctly for de_DE.UTF-8. I don't care too much about the u…

Hi Igor, nice idea to open this board i have a problem with my wireless connection using your jessie image with kernel 4.0.4 (newest release right now). at the first start i use a wired connection to connect via SSH - this works without any problems.

Dear Igor, I compiled a kernel (Wheezy mainline) with your script, everything is perfect! There is only one thing, what I don't know how to do: I need to patch rtl28xxu.c before compiling or /even better/ if it possible to compile this module only and overwrite the .ko file at "/lib/modules/4.0.4-bananapi/kernel/.....folder". Could you help me please how can I do that? At line 1612 I need to change: - rc->interval = 400; to this: + rc->interval = 200; Thank you very much! Gyuri

Just installed the v3.7 / 14.5.2015 on my cubieboard, then when i load python, it say the version is 2.7.10~rc1 ???? I searched in the debian packages, even the unstable don't have this. And when i looked in sources.list i found the first line was testing, is this normal ? Jessie is stable no ? Well for now I think aptitude have fix my broken package, but I wanted to report you this weird thing.
