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

Hello everyone, I am new to the world of Orange Pi 3 LTS 1.4 and Armbian. I have very recently installed this os on my Orange, it turns out to work almost everything correctly except Wifi and bluetooth. It is really important for me to get Wifi working for various projects I have in mind and I find armbian very reliable and supported. When I try to connect the Network Manager interface returns: On the net I found various discussions about this but no real solution. Does this happen to you as well? It seems not to recognize the wifi chip. Below is the armbianmonitor: https://paste.armbian.com/iteheqokov …

Hello, I try to get WiFi P2P working on the Nano Pi Neo Air with a 4.x mainline kernel and so I tried the latest available nightly build "Armbian_5.24.170118_Nanopiair_Ubuntu_xenial_4.9.4.img" but I have problems to establish a connection. Does anybody have WiFi P2P working on the Nano PI Neo Air? The problem seems be a problem with the P2P_CLIENT interface creation at the brcmfmac driver. My P2P test peer is a Nexus 5 phone and I'am able to see the peer device using wpa_cli p2p_peers. But when I try to connect I get following driver error messages at the Kernel Log.

Hi I've downloaded v5.38 firmware for my Cubietruck device and replaced on an older version due to my problem with new updates. Etcher was my tool for writing image on SD card and i have cleared SD card before writing new image. When new image installed and device booted up, but WiFi is not working and WiFi module is neither listed in lsmodule output nor module list file. It seems that WiFi driver is not installed or WiFi hardware is not detected. Is there any way to fix this issue? @Igor

Hi all, I was struggling to have a stable Wifi connection on my new Orange Pi Primes, and believe I found a solution, so I thought it's nice to share it Symptoms: Wifi would connect right after reboot, but would disappear if Orange Pi Prime was idle for about 30min. The only way to reactivate would be to either pull the cable out (as there are no buttons yet), or to login via ethernet, perform ifconfig down && if config up. I didn't liked either of the options, so I decided to investigate. My log was full of: [89201.577208] RTL8723BS: nolinked power save enter [89201.967063] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is n…

Hello I have an issue with my wifi, it's not reliable. There is no problem with my laptop, or any other devices on my network, but my NanoPi Neo is disconneted after a few hours. It can stay alive for an half a day, and after it become unreachable. As I have no other connection to my NanoPi it's a bit hard to establish what appens. But if I unplug the USB Wifi dungle, and replugged it the link come back. Doing a ping to the NanoPi, I see regular "Request timeout for icmp_seq" - every 20, 50 or 100 request, it depends - and sometime the request time is abnormally huge: serveral seconds. The config has bee done with nmtui, the…

I am using Orange Pi Zero Plus(http://www.orangepi.org/OrangePiZeroPlus/), but there's no armbian for it. I download armbian for Orange Pi PC2(here) and it works! However, PC2 does not have on-board wifi, so my zero plus cannot find a wlan device. The onboard wifi of zero plus is Realtek RTL8189FTV, and the driver source seems to be this I compile it on my orange pi and add "modprobe mac80211" before "insmod", it is loaded but there is still no wlan0 device So what should I do to enable wifi?

how i can enable usb wifi on orange pi pc ?

Hello all. I'm having a banana Pi and two days ago I had bananian OS on it. Now after searching online I decided to install armbian because it seems the most updated and more user-friendly one. One of the things that I want to do with my Pi, is to create an AP and connect other devices to it. So I read the documentation that is online from armbian site that refers on A. How to build a wireless driver? B. How to set wireless access point? Started with the A. and following all the steps, I realized that the 8192cu.ko module was already installed and loaded because when I tried to load it with insmod command it returned m…

After about 10-20 hours of normal work the IP address on USB wifi adapter disappears. Ethernet adapter connected to the same router works well at the same time. System diagnosis information is collected when IP address is missing. After re-plug USB-adapter into the same USB port or reboot, the IP address appears back. Board: Orange PI PC, WIFI: EDUP dual-band on 8811CU chip, built-in drivers Image: 20.11.3 focal Router: Keenetic Ultra Previously I used built-in wifi of Orange PI+ and I didn't have similar problem. Is the problem specific to the WIFI adapter?

Hi there, Recently you helped me to setup a WiFI AP on Armbian and a bananapim2p board: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/2395-access-point-mode-with-ap6212-on-armbian-521/ The current problem I am facing: the dhd module on armbian 5.25 does not on my bananapim2p boards. To be precise: I have one bananapi m2p where the dhd module loads perfectly on armbian 5.25, I created an image of this board's emmc and flashed the emmc of two different m2p boards. The dhd config file looks like: cat /etc/modprobe.d$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/dhd.conf options dhd op_mode=2 firmware_path=/lib/firmware/ap6212/fw_bcm43438a0_apsta.bin With the modprobe configuration the m2p board…

I am having a network problem that I can not figure out. First I had to roll back the kernel to version 5.x to even get wifi to work. Since then I have tried all sorts of things.

I received my Pi Pc plus today which is strange because I thought I ordered the Pi pc. I downloaded the armbian Jessie desktop and used 7zip to extract it to the sd card. It will not load off the card. It would not load raspbian for the raspberry Pi. What it is doing is loading android whether the sd card is inserted or not. Can anyone offer suggestions to try? OS downloaded from here: http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/ It has emmc I can't even make some of the things work on android.??

Hi all, The plot thickens. This is only an issue when eth0 is given an IPv6 address by my home router. If i disable IPv6 at home my problem goes away. I am having some issues getting wireguard to play the game. I have a fresh Armbian Focal 22.02 install on a NanoPi Neo. The problem is that the wirguard interface comes up, then traffic doesn't flow., not even to the other side of the wireguard link (10.66.0.1). tcpdmping on the other side of the connection shows no packets at all coming into the far ends 51820. Stopping wireguard on both sides and using netcat via UDP and TCP I can see the traffic I expect. I can also use my Android mobile phone and…

I have been searching the net trying to find out how to set up the WiFi interface on an Orange Pi or a Raspberry Pi 3B as an access point. I have to have an access point for a project I have in hand. I found the instructions by Lim Han Yang but they just failed entirely on two out of three candidate boards with the third, an Orange Pi PC Plus, producing a point that is visible to an Android tablet but refused to authenticate. I tried the create_ap procedure from github but that crashed on all three boards when dnsmasq hung. I tried ‘armbian_config’ on the Orange Pi PC Plus which was running the appropriate Armbian image. That didn’t do anything usable. Reasonin…

I'm new to cubietruck and linux as well. I used the default build for CT i.e. 3.4.107. The wlan0 was working fine. It was using bcmdhd module for wireless. But I had to move the latest version 4.0.5 for the availabilty of sctp module which was not available in 3.4.107. In 4.0.5, the wireless interface is not being detected and it has brcmfmac for wireless i think. Is there a way to implement the sctp in 3.4.107 or make the wireless work in 4.0.5 ? please advise. best regards, Arun

Hi, 1st of all, thanks for the excellent job on Armbian so far, really feels very solid compared to most other distros. Here is my little problem: Installed Armbian_5.14_Orangepipc_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop Realtek RTL 8188 plugged in into any USB port Followed Rudolfos tutorial Reboot - wireless works flawlessly Update via apt-get update/upgrade --> 8188 still recognized, but board locks up or reboots when I try to connect to an AP I am right now preventing updates to 5.14 as per attachement, but this is obviously not a preferred solution. The driver used is the 8192cu,the device ID is 0bda: 8176 Realtek 8188cus. Any directions? Best, -Thomas

I've installed this library on an Orange Pi PC Plus running 'Armbian 5.31 stable Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i' with all updates and I would like to use wiringPiI2C but it doesn't work with either /dev/i2c-0 or /dev/i2c-1. My USB storage CRO device shows no output at all when I attempt a write to an I2C device on connector pins 3 and 5 (BCM pins 2 & 3). the 'gpio' app and 'blink' example apps that come with the library wiggles these and other pins as outputs, no trouble at all. I'm porting a library that interfaces to a DS3232 or DS3231 real-time-clock chip from Arduino and have used the initialisation sequence from the example in the WiringOP librar…

Hi, After upgrading from Lemaker Lubuntu with 3.4 kernel to the latest Armbian with 4.9 kernel my application that reads INPUT PIN using wiringPi is behaving very strange and unstable. I simply make a pin INPUT and check the value using gpio read command. When I short the pin the value returned by gpio command changes not always immediately. Some times it takes up to 5 seconds to refresh the value. I mean, it keeps returning me "0" while the pin is shortened and only few seconds later it starts returning me "1". WiringPi is installed from this repo: https://github.com/LeMaker/WiringBP Is it still fully compatible with 4.9 kernel? Or do I need …

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.

Hello! I have an Cubietruck with an attached SATA-Disk. I would like to use the board without an SD-Card (I don't see why I should use one when I have a nand and a Disk). I can boot u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin using FEL and Armbian boots successfully. I can write stuff to nand, but I didn't manage to write an working u-boot to nand. Is the SPL-Version the correct one or the one without? Do I have to write to something special like MBR? Where does the BROM search for the bootloader? Does it parse the partition-table? Thanks in advance!

After running "stress" with loadavg=6 for a while, wifi is lost and CPU temp fluctuates between 50-78C, and I saw 20+ errors such as: Write-error on swap-device all related to zram but I do have 130M RAM free, other than lost wifi and those errors shown, the system still appears to running, I can ssh via wired ethernet port and poking around it.

Hi guys, I just started using the new Armbian release on my cubietruck and Banana Pi boards and encountered the following problem. On the Cubieboard the wired interface first did not receive any IP address at all. I than tried as alternative to connect the wireless interface through the armbian-config tool. Which did work fine. However the wired interface is now receiving the same IP address like the wireless one. Currently the only way to resolve this issue is by going again through armbian config tool. I am also experiencing the symptoms on my banana pi board except that it does not have any wireless interface. Which th…

I'm trying to add concurrent mode to the wifi driver on an Orange Pi PC Plus running the latest stable distribution of Armbian, but running into an "invalid module format" error due to the kernel version not matching the source version I'm using to recompile the wifi driver. I installed both the source and header files from armbian-config. The kernel version is 4.19.59 according to uname -r. This apparently is the linux-image-next-sunxi image, according to `apt-cache search linux-image | grep 4.19.59`. However, the source for the next-sunxi branch in the repository is 4.19.57, not 4.19.59, as `apt-cache search linux-source | grep next-sunxi` gives: linu…

I've tinkering with this board, and trying to boot from spl, but the boot halts after reading the temperature sensors, which does not happen when booting from the sd card. After booting from the sd card I read the sensor that causes the problem # cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp 51740 I found in a forum some kernel patches to mitigate this: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/support-for-orangepi-zero2-h616-ddr3-zero3-and-zero-2w-h618-lpddr4/154679 Why does it fail when booting from spl, and not when booting from the sd?

Hello. Can't run x11 on Debian 11. I am using Nano Pi AIR (Allwiner h3). Since the board is not officially supported, I built the image on debian 11 myself. root@nanopiair:/# uname -a Linux nanopiair 5.15.44-sunxi #trunk SMP Wed Jun 8 08:41:04 UTC 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux The LCD is connected via SPI, chip is ili9486.

Happy New Years, I tried an LXDE ssh "MobaXterm" session with Chromium on my Orange Pi Zero 512mb. Surprised it worked however the laggy browser page scroll and javascript animations (appearing as a really slow vsync wave top to down), does that reflect real world performance when outputting to say hdmi? This Orange Pi has no immediate way to output to my tv so could not test otherwise. Is there any video hardware acceleration being used (mainline kernel Armbian) using this method? As maybe the lack thereof is the cause of lag, along with network overheads etc. Regards, Rollmeister

Hello after reading and reading some more for a week, I have managed to boot the modified cubieboard2 /Einstein A20 board in GSOC to point I can run Armbian-Config and start a desktop. https://www.radioddity.com/blogs/all/xiegu-gsoc-teardown-open-source-project may or may not have access to ports internally if production board and metal can rf shielding-so wary of hosing uboot.

Is there a Xenial image for NanoPi M1, or a way to “easily†build one ?. I see here https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ that there is a Xenial image for NanoPi Neo. I am asking because I would like to run HQPlayer's Network Audio Adapter on my NanoPi M1. And this doesn't run on Debian Jessie legacy as it needs libstdc++6 (>=5.2), but it does run on a NanoPi Neo with Xenial. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Hardware setup :: Olimex Lime 2 Rev.k + 7" LCD + 5V power supply through the power jack. No battery is connected to the lime 2 board. Problem :: when the board boots up, the xfce power manager shows that the Battery is connected and it's in charging mode. The current charge value of the battery changes randomly like 92%, 56% and etc. When it reaches 0% the board will shut down. It completes the shut down procedure. The following is the terminal output, to find the battery status. Even though the battery is not connected you can observe that it returns the Voltage and reports that the battery is present root@olinuxino:~# cat /sys/class/power_sup…

Hello, friends. I am using legacy Armbian 3.x kernel on my development boards where I run Stella emulator with some special USB joystick. The joystick is detected as XBOX controller, hence I guess it uses xpad driver. The problem is that this driver is not present in the latest Armbian so this joystick does not work. I would like to use latest Armbian to have the latest packages, using it as a print/scan/radio server and would like also to play some Atari game from time to time. I tried to build it from the source using this https://github.com/paroj/xpad I can load it with modprobe, the joystick seems to be detected, but it is not working in Stella, I cannot eve…

So recently I got a 5 inch HDMI display with touch in the mail. They got drivers for the raspberry pi, and i got it working on the raspberry pi without a problem. Now I was wondering if would work on my banana pi running armbian legacy kernel. I have tried installing and following the original instructions, but i can't get the touch controller to work, it will display on the screen, but touch is not working. The resolution also seems a little bit off. Allthough i tried setting it to 800x480. I know there are other post around this topic, but most of them didn't made it any more clear to me what i could possibly do. And some that did still didn't work. So ye…

Hello, I just bought an OPi-Zero and loaded Ubuntu image with legacy kernel(tried the debian one too).Wifi is failing to load for some reason.I checked various posts in armbian forum and checked that xradio_wlan driver is loaded twice,as suggested. kernel module dhd is blacklisted as well.

Hi everyone, i bought an OrangePI PC Plus as a Lab computer to google stuff and watch Youtube. I tried Debian_stretch_next_desktop_nightly.7z, nice desktop, but i figured that compiling the mali driver is a pain. Then i tried Debian_jessie_default.7z, installed xfce4, modprobe mali works out of the box but i seems like X11 doesn't utilize that. So how do i get youtube going smoothly in the most painless manner? Thanks a lot!

My Prime is reasonably stable now, except for running youtube videos in fullscreen 1920x1080, which drives the heat up (I've seen 87 !), and after a few minutes freezes the video with the sound continuing. I can't find any mention of YouTube in the documentation, and only video URLs in the forum. Is there some trick I have missed?

Hello, When configuring I2C ports in armbian-config it shows 3 I2C ports (i2c0,i2c1,i2c2). The pinout from http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Zero shows only 2 I2C ports: 3 TWI0_SDA / PA12 / GPIO12 5 TWI0_SCK / PA11 / GPIO11 and 16 TWI1-SDA / PA19 / GPIO19 18 TWI1-SCK / PA18 / GPIO18 are there 3 or only 2 I2C ports ? (how to configure the third if there is one ?) thanks for your answers Jean Antoine

Hi, my 1st post here. I have serial over OTG between Win10 PC and Zero working, fine as long as I use it for console login. (serial-getty@/dev/ttyGS0. If I stop the getty service, No usb/com port is opened @ PC side, when I plug it. I still see the /dev/ttyGS0 on the PI (stty -F/dev/ttyGS0) but apparently the device is not opened to the external world. I would expect that any send command to the device would open it, e.g. ls > /dev/ttyGS0, but nothing opens at the Win10 PC. What does getty do, so that the PC discovers the new usb serial connection and what do I have to do to achieve a device opening on the PC, not using getty on …

Hello! Can you help me: Orange Pi Zero 256 and 512 with power supply 2A hangs after try printing over usbip as server with CANON CAPT printer.

On client I had try Ubuntu server 16.04 x64 with mainline kernel 4.10 and 17.04 i386 with distributor's kernel and CUPS. Can I local debug this situation? Or may be else how? That kind logs is needed for probably open bug in kernel? Or may test this situation between non-ARM system, but for what if specific ARM code may be exist?

Hi, This will be my first time using Armbian and OrangePi, sorry if theres stupid questions. I want to write a C++ application that uses LVGL to display information on a USB screen and have a few questions. 1) Will I be able to this screen in this setup. It uses the frame buffer (/dev/fb0). There are instructions for RaspberryPi, where its just plugged in and the frame buffer is available to use. 2) If I just use the latest Armbian Ubuntu version for this board what is the newest version of C++ I can use? (C++11/14/17 etc) 3) Is there a tool chain available to be able to cross compile my application (specifically from…

Hello I received my first OrangePi today, a Zero, and I'm a bit lost. Installed armbian xenial, upgraded to beta/dev and installed dev kernel as documented. (working!)

Hello! I have a Zero2 board with 1GB of RAM. I compiled a Debian 12 desktop image for Zero2 using Armbian and I want to play online videos through a web browser. Unfortunately, the results have been disappointing as the performance for 1080p videos is very slow. I tried using swap, but it didn't help. I also attempted to play 1080p videos using MPV and VLC. MPV can still play the videos, but it feels sluggish, and VLC gets stuck on the screen until the playback is finished. I would like to know how to configure Zero2 on Linux to achieve video acceleration. I'm new to this, so I would appreciate some guidance. Thank you!

Hi, I've recently got a ZeroPi from FriendlyElec and I immediately installed Armbian Buster, so far is working great except for a minor issue with the Gigabit ethernet. I'm planning to use it with Wireguard as server so I've made some performance checks first to test the actual network speed with iperf3. What I discovered surprised me, the network throughput in upload from the ZeroPi is fine (900 to 950 Mbps) but the download seems to be limited to ~380 Mbps. ------------------------------------------------------- # UPLOAD TEST (ZEROPI ---> HOST) # $ iperf3 -c XX.XX.XX.XX ------------------------------------------------------- [ ID] Interval …

with great joy we saw the new version of Armbian_5.69_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.13 for orange pi pc plus (date 9-1-2019) We were waiting for a WIFI fix, on the WPA. Wifi at the very beginning, it works properly with a WPA connection. Then, you do not want to make another WPA connection and work. Will this problem be corrected in some new version of Armbian?
