Allwinner sunxi

Just noticed some ugly detail: 1.) the switch is active during boot, and it defaults to all ports on one VLAN. 2.) My laptop is quite agressive when it comes to DHCP, it's connected to one of the local ports of the BPI-R, so it detects immediatly that the ethernet connection goes down and up. 3.) So I end up with the cable modems external IP address on my laptop, and a BPI-R that is unreachable, ... Any idea how to turn off the network switch in the boot loader? TiA, Andreas

LED link on WAN port ON when disconnect cable link ( not change to OFF, always ON). Help me how to fix the problem

Hi all, i got the problem, that my Banana Pi doesn't boot. I receive the error Unknown command 'U-Boot' - try 'help' This is similar while try use openwrt, bananaian or ip-fire. Did i brick my PI? Can i do something? Thanks BigChris

I have Armbian running on Banana Pi R1 without networking access. Is this board suppported at all or it is just a waste of time?

Dear All, I am just trying to figure how to enable the UART3 to be a 4 wire serial port for Lamobo R1 board. As per the datasheet here, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4PAo2nW2KfnNTBaVENGeHZfSzA/view UART3 4 wire signals are routed to J12 connector. I was looking to modify .dtb file, when I realize there is a definitions for PH3 GPIO under DTB file such as usb2_vbus_pin@0 { allwinner,pins = "PH3"; allwinner,function = "gpio_out"; allwinner,drive = <0x0>; allwinner,pull = <0x0>; linux,phandle = <0x42>; phandle = <0x42>; }; PH2 is not defined, looking at schematic I cannot find how VBUS for US…

I'm running the latest armbian on my Banana Pi M1 as a headless file/media server. My problem is that my Banana Pi would randomly stop working any time of the day. A day would not pass by without me having to reboot my server manually by pressing the reset button. There would still be network activity as the activity lights on the LAN keeps on flashing and it would still respond to my ping requests. I'd know it stopped working if I can't access the server's services anymore through its web ui (webmin, transmission, etc.) and to confirm this I'd try to SSH into it and it wouldn't connect. I tried creating a script where it would restart the LAN if it pinged the…

I have read two old threads in this forum: I have been running this (will post more details if needed) for a few days: VERSION=5.90 DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS" NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver)" Kernel is 4.19.62-sunxi The BPi would hang/freeze, seemingly randomly within a day or two. When it does that, there is no HDMI video or response to ping. After reading the first thread, I did stress test on the BPi for more than 2 days. The BPi actually hold up. So, next I ran "ping -i 30 -D 192.168.8.1" -- pinging …

Hello there. I am using ubuntu Xenial server on Banana pi. It has mysql, nginx, websites, and many programs and settings. I use it as a banana pi router. I used to use it as a server until now but now I got an hdmi to vga converter. Now I want to use Xfce. I installed xubuntu-desktop from the terminal.

Hallo, I have got the Banana Pi (no Pro) with Armbian Trusty Desktop and Legacy Kernel 3.4.109 installed. All updates done. Problem: No Sound on HDMI Output. Any suggestions? Known Problem? bewoco

Hi, I've read a previous topic about it but it was a bit inconclusive. My question is simple: can the OTG port be turned on on the legacy kernel? Is it just a matter of setting up the right bits in the script.bin/fex file? Or is it missing some other stuff? Currently I can use that port on Bananian. Since this board only has 2 USB ports, it's nice to be able to use the OTG port to connect a keyboard, since the other 2 ports have HDDs connected. Thanks and good work!!

I tried changing script.bin/fex > usbc0 (settings) with many combinations but was not able to get the USB port working as genreal USB host ... so what am i missing ? Target Board :- Banana Pi. Target Os :- 3.4.112 (Armbian_5.10_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop)

Hello, I want to set the boot argument 'threadirq' in the /boot/boot.cmd file for kernel 4.04. I added the option and created the boot.src file described in FAQ. When I boot the system I get kernel panic, because rootfs not found. If I revert the boot.src to default, it works fine. The file looks like this: setenv bootargs console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait threadirqs .... Is it possible to do it this way? Thanks, Timo

Hi everyones, Last week, I tried to read the value from DS18b20 temperature sensor to log it in the monitor system I already have. But I could not get its value. I connect the DS18b20 with 4.7k pull up resistor to the pin 16th on the board, which is I guess is IO-4 [PH20] pin. What I have tried? - I have tried this: http://www.linuxx.eu/2014/09/banana-pi-temperature-sensor-ds18b20.html Step I did: Convert the /boot/script.bin to bananapi.fex, then add [w1_para] gpio = 4 to the end of file, save and convert it back to /boot/script.bin. Reboot. Problem: No w1 dir found in the /sys/bus (expecting it will show w1 dir b…

Hallo dear friend, I am a beginner . I bought a banana pi h3, I tried to turn it on, powering it to 5 volts, I connected mouse, keyboard, and monitor (with hdmi-vga adapter) but not signs of life, only the red LED is on , os image is loaded in sd card. I tried to press the on and reset buttons but nothing. I hope you can help me. Many thanks. Daniele.

I just installed 4.2.3-sunxi on my Banana Pi (original model.) Everything seems to work nicely except the console mouse (gpm.) I run keyboard and mouse on a "GreenAsia Inc. USB to PS/2 Adapter" and have never had a problem with that setup, including Raspberry Pi and Bananian on the BPi. Both keyboard and mouse work under X but on the console only the keyboard works.

I'm running a dockerized VDR server on the BPi, still on bananian. Every time I installed armbian, I had to discover that video playback on remote devices started to stutter. Without knowing about the details, my guess is that this is owed to the fact that the mainline kernel build does not feature hw video decoding. (Though I'm not sure whether bananian had it actually.) Unfortunately I cannot use the legacy kernel build, as docker is not supported on that platform. Is there any chance to kind of enable hw video acceleration on the mainline build? I saw some posts here and there in the forum on that topic, but none seemed really having solved it d…

Hello, First of all thanks for the very nice dist, it's clean and optimized. Unfortunately the Banana Pi is unbootable after having done the following: Migrate the root fs to my USB drive and make it bootable with the nand-sata-install script Change the hostname (modify /etc/hosts, modify /etc/hostname, run /etc/init.d/hostname.sh, reboot) run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, reboot Each time the Banana Pi could not boot anymore, and that happened with both Jessie and Wheezie images. I can't get any screenshots of the boot screen because it's a headless server. Any ideas? mk16

Hello, Is there any way to programmatically interact with HDMI on Banana Pi/Pro? Ideally I would like the following: Learn the current state of the HDMI monitor (and/or receive notifications): not connected, connected and turned off (in standby), connected and turned on. Turn off the HDMI monitor (put to standby). Turn on the HDMI monitor (exit standby). Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone, Please beg my pardon if the question might seem “stupid†but I searched quite a bit without finding a solution. I’m using the ARMBIAN version of Debian Jessie on my Banana Pro with a great dose of satisfaction and I have noticed that the message about “system status†which appears on the first SSH Login Screen after each reboot provides a very useful insight into my system. From my researches I think I have understood that this is called “MOTD†(message of the day) and it is supposed to appear only once per session. I would like to display this message every time I open a new SSH Connection windows to my device, so to always have that i…

Hello everyone, This is my first post, but i've been using armbian for almost one year (https://twitter.com/logicite/status/682267764384501760), so : thank you for your work ! I use armbian ubuntu on Olimex A20 lime 2, and on LeMaker Banana Pro. So far no difficulty, or i was able to find the answers on the forum. This time, i can't find anything, so i'm asking for your help : A few months ago i was able to use the onboard sound card on the BananaPro. It was showing up in alsamixer and in aplay -l. The sound was not good so i used a USB sound card instead. Today, i can't find this onboard sound card any longer. I suspect this is due to some update in …

Is possible with the last version of Debian to have internal Wi-Fi and Ethernet working simultaneously on Banana PRO? I want to try some "bonding" network benchmarks. Thanks.

I've noticed some other threads about Banana Pi builds not booting. I tried the 6.12v built on Jun 19 and that's when my device stopped booting. It won't even power on. I suspect the firmware update is corrupting the MicroSD card. I originally had an older build running and ran an update/upgrade and my system wouldn't boot (won't power on) after that. I purchased a new MicroSD card, and my system booted with an older build. Not realizing my MicroSD would get corrupted, I tried updating/upgrading again and I'm back to not booting. I don't have enough MicroSD cards to pinpoint the exact package. My working build is from 6.6.17, 24.5.0-trunk.58. It appear…

Hi, Recently while I was using the banana pro, it locked itself up and I had to manually pull out the power. And after that, it cannot boot anymore with armbian or bananian, the red light turned on and thats it, no more activities. :-( But with lemaker's oficial image it can boot up normally. What could be the problem? Do I have a faulty hardware? Thanks!

On a new installation cant access over SSH. Same on latest Armbian 5.04 Jassie and Wheezy. If I change the parameter UsePAM to no (in /etc/ssh/sshd_config), I can login via SSH. EDIT I fount the problem is with first run scripts. On legacy it looks ok, but on vanilla these scripts are destroying SSH.

Hey all, Have been using my Banana Pro w/ Armbian & a 1tb HDD as a Micro Home Server w/ Bittorrent Sync/Samba Shares/Webmin. I attempted to install Syncthing from the install script and it errored after saying "package cant be opened" It became unresponsive to commands. I powered it off then on again and it says "Bad crc error" at boot & seems to find its dhcp IP but hangs.. Google searches havent helped me resolve the issue, thanks.

Hello, on a Banana Pro, is there a way to disable on board wifi? I am using Armbian Buster. Thank you, Alex.

Hi! I have banana pro, 5.15.93-sunxi #23.02.2 (bullseye), and use internal wifi adapter as a wifi client. The medium btw my client and ap is instable, there are frequent rate changes (6Mbps...54Mbps), so in order to get rid of it I need to set mandatory wifi rate no more than 6 Mbps. Give me the hint, please: 1. To set wifi rate strictly to 6 Mbps. I had tried iwconfig wlan0 rate 6M - I got "Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported." . 2. To adjust 802.11n parameters (rate, number of spatial streams and so on). Thank you in advance, Aleksei

Hi... Sorry if this has already answered... I want to know how activate the I2S interface in the latest vanilla image... In the past using the legacy kernel only need to change a few thing in the fex file... Thanks in advance...

Installed the Armbian distribution on 05.22 Jammy. In other distributions armbian, zombies are similar. Does not complete the shutdown -P. Instead of disconnecting - a kernel panic. In other distributions, the completion of work is correct. What to do? armbianmonitor -u : http://ix.io/43ZK Error: https://freeimage.host/i/wa9cWF

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.

Hello, despite using several threads (links below) and one whole week of work, either nothing or only backlight of my display work. Could anybody provide the forum with an image or .debs, please?

Hey Guys, i own a Lemaker Banana Pro device. The hardware itself is very fine, no issues with it, but the software support is pretty low. When i check internet, i see at least two images for it: Armbian Bionic - mainline based kernel 4.19.y Armbian Stretch- mainline based kernel 4.19.y I recognize that Armbian Stretch is based on Debian 9, which is the old Debian Version at all, so i am not willing to install it. But i wonder how it is with Bionic? Is Armbian Bionic based on Ubuntu Bionic Beaver? Is it that what i means? How long will the support run for this Bionic image? For me it doesnt matter if i install debian or ubuntu …

I am working on a new project which uses the Banana Pi to capture USB output destined for a printer in order to log the output from a system. The BananaPi will need to be a simple plugin which sits between the machine and a connected USB printer - so we want to: a ) Mimic the connected USB printer (so that the machine thinks it still has the original printer attached) b ) Capture the output from the machine c ) Send the captured output onwards to the printer. The BananaPi seemed the obvious choice as it has the built in USB OTG port and we would use the gadget printer to mimic the attached printer. Unfortunately, the Bananian images do not support the gadget printer a…

Hi, I am using the last image (kernel 11.5) for banana PI M1 and I successful use the nand-sata-install script. now I would like to copy the bootload to 128M SDCard Can someone help me?

Hello, My BananaPi board doesn't boot after apt update & apt upgrade. I didn't have any problems until now. At first I suspected it could be the SD card as it seemed to me the "server" was slower on authentication but the SD card looks ok. There were some errors when reading it via gdisk but f3 didn't find any problems. So I copied the newest downloadable image onto it. It worked again until the upgrade. What can I do to restore the functionality? Is there any known problem with last upgrade?I update the system quite usually so the change that could be responsible for this shouldn't be more than a month old. I even tried to use the direct attach…

Hi, I would like to run Armbian Stretch (mainline kernel 4.14.y) on Bananapi M1. Board has an issue - sd card detect pin is broken. In legacy kernel 3.4.y there was an easy workaround to change paramter sdc_detmode = 1 to sdc_detmode = 3 in /boot/script.bin file. How would I do this on 4.14 kernel which as I understand doesn't use script.bin anymore? I setup Virtualbox with Ubuntu 18.04 and I can compile image with default options. I only need guidance in what parameter and in which file to change.

Hi! I ended up here: My Banana M1 was working well, connecting to a monitor I was able to see it working. But after I removed the sd card (after turning the M1 off) and inserted into a Windows machine (it couldn't read the linux fs, did not format it) it won't start anymore.

Hello, my BananaPi M1 sometimes just stops working. The maximum uptime is 5 days. Usually the time is shorter. The system simply hangs. I can no longer access the system via SSH. When I connect a monitor to HDMI, nothing is displayed, so I can log in. I have connected an external hard drive that is self-powered. I know the stories with the power supply.

Hello, I run Armbian on Banapi M1 (use it as samba file server with OpenMediaVault) and recently after apt-get upgrade and reboot the Bananapi is stuck in boot loop. I have tried the following to eliminate possibility that it's a HW failure: booted into fresh Armbian image with different SD card: success -> the board is OK dumped whole Armbian installation as image from the original SD card, overwrote it with fresh Armbian image and booted with it: success -> the SD card is OK wrote the dumped Armbian installation image onto a different SD card and booted from it: stuck in boot loop wrote the dumped Armbian installatio…

Hello, I wanted to upgrade my Bananapi M1. So I downloaded "Buster minimal" from https://www.armbian.com/bananapi/ Last modified: 2020-02-17. I flashed the image to my SD card and started the SBC. But nothing happened. I got no heartbeat LED nor HDMI output. (I know from my Tinkerboard that I have to boot without connected HDMI to start correct. I did this with the bananapi too.) So I tried different variants: Bionic server, Buster server and Buster desktop. I never had a video output. I cross checked with my old raspian lite from 2016. With this image the Bananapi works. I used dd and Etcher for SD card preparation. What am I doing wrong? Can I us…

I found that it is not easy to use the Dallas one-wire temperature sensors and the composite TV-Out on the Banana Pi with the current Armbian version. I have searched for posts on these topics in the forum. The posts that I have found in this forum describe solutions for outdated Armbian versions or do not give enough detail. The following posts in this thread will describe how to solve these problems for the current Armbian version for the Banana Pi M1.

Hi, I was on the legacy kernel until recently with my bananaPi M1. I switched to the vanilla kernel but since then, when I try to use the GPIO python library (for bananapi from LeMaker github), it works quite well except for functions gpio.add_event_detect() or GPIO.wait_for_edge(channel, GPIO.RISING) This usually disconnect my network and the event is never detected. I have to reboot the PI to restore the state. Also, a normal read/write state GPIO.input(PIN_NUM) works perfectly... I assume it is due to the vanilla kernel but could not find any documentation on why this is happening... Any answer/comments would be much appreciated! Let me know if yo…

Hi there! I just received three decommissioned BananaPI M1+ from a company and I'm trying to install the latest version of Armbian Buster available on them. Once I flash the image to the SD card (tested and working fine), however, the board goes into boot loop as per the video. The only error that seems to be displayed is "EHCI failed to shut down host controller". If it can be useful to find the cause, I point out that the problem occurs with both Armbian Buster and Armbian Focal regardless of the presence of the "fdtfile=sun7i-a20-bananapi-m1-plus.dtb" line in the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file. What do you think I could do to solve it? Thank you all in advance.

Hello Someone can say me if the Transfert RAte is limited at 300mo or like the Bananapi m64 a true Gigabit. Thanks

Hello, guys, please help setup HDMI output to 480x320 in mainline kernel for BananaPi M2. I am using 3.5inch HDMI display, it is working fine but my current resolution is too high. All attempts to change disp_mode in armbianEnv.txt didn't help. Thanks

hallo, for bananapim2 i can build jammy legacy and current, cli and xfce, on my pc-ubuntu-jammy. I just coppy bananapim2.eos to bananapim2.conf, removed box86 files while my pc-ubuntu-jammy seems have problems with build-script to download addition softaware from some git or ppa. Current-jammy goes off on boot on "starting kernel", but if i build with linux-sunxi-legacy.config renamed to linux-sunxi-current.config, boot is successful. On all builds i cannt becomme LAN over eth0, but wifi is ok. I can see eth0 and wlan on Networkmanager(cli too) and ifconfig.

Hello, i use my BananaPI M2 Plus as a home router. i have eth0, eth0.10 (vlan 10), eth0.1111 (vlan 1111) on eth0 i have External IP from ISP by DHCP (original MAC ADDRESS) on eth0.10 i have internal IP (192.168.10.1) (different - generated MAC ADDRESS) on eth0.1111 have external IP from ISP for settopboxes. (cloned MAC ADDRESS from settopbox) my issue is that 192.168.10.1 is unreachable after reboot. Have no idea why. i discover that if i switch eth0.10 to promiscuous mode (tcpdump -c 10 -i eth0.10) after reboot it works. any idea to make it less dirty? thank you.

Hello, i want to try armbian, so I download it from here https://www.armbian.com/banana-pi-m2/and write it to the sd-card. i started the BPi M2 login as root create a user account and the Desktop started .... ehm NOT.. it runs in an infinity reboot loop.. if I disconnect the LAN-Cable i will see the desktop, but after a few minutes the same.. so i remove the HDMI-cable.. it boots, i plugged in the LAN-cable and can connect via ssh.. i try to upgrade the system, but again after a few minutes it freeze and reboot. can somebody help me to figrue out what happen and how can i resolve this problem? thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. I would like to create an update system, which via a link on a web page, will check on an ftp server and if a version is newer, download the img file and install it. it is the installation part that poses me big problems. to write an img on the sd we must use the command dd if = ..... of = ...... But since the sd is used it does not work. I had thought of going through berryboot but a priori it is not functional on the m2. If someone has an idea thank you

Hello Community! I am struggling with assigning numbers to I2C buses in my BPi, doing the same(?) thing in two different ways i am getting two different results. By default, there is only /dev/i2c-0 node available, AFAIK because HDMI uses this bus. 1. Using build-in overlay for i2c0 bus (overlays=i2c0 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt) enables another i2c bus. In this case, /dev/i2c-0 is the bus connected to pins 3 and 5 at 40-pin header. The other bus (enabled by default) becomes /dev/i2c-1. It doesn't matter how many times i reset my board, assignment doesn't change. 2. The second way is to create my own overlay by cloning this code and …

Hi, I had until yesterday an Armbian version from a year ago on the board, until then I never had problems with my network (WiFi). Yesterday I had then made an apt update + upgrate. After that, however, I suddenly had the problem that some access points are no longer found. This is so that my access point (Fritzbox), my mobile hotspot from smartphone (Samsung) and a network of a neighbor is no longer found. Other access points are still found, so there are still WiFi access points available but I can no longer find mine. Now I have installed the latest version today and still the same problem. Manual entry unfortunately brings nothing because the connecti…

hi i have installed armbain on microsd card on banana pi m2+. Pulseaudio via pavucontrol recognized the sound card. Every seems to be ok. But when i tried play radio via rythmbox or play you tube audio voice is very interruped. it does not work in fact, because interruption are very often..... the same problem is with images provident by banana pi team. Only Raspbian MATE images works out of box.

Hi, I am new to the Armbian. I have build the kernel for BananaPi M2+ using the instruction specified in Armbian document for Building with Vagrant. I could see the output file "linux-image-sun8i-5.59.armhf.deb" in the "output/debs" folder. Know I don't know how to download or install this file on the SD card which is running on my bananaPi M2+. Bascically I need guidance on how to transfer my kernel build image from my windows PC to the SD card which I will be using to test the Bananapi M2+ board. Any help or documents will be highly appreciated.

Hi, At the beginning I would like to emphasize that I am not an expert in linux :) I use bananapi m2 + v1.1 in my project. Until now everything worked well with the SD card on armbian 5.25. My project is now finished and would like to run the system from emmc. I used armbian-config to move system from SD card to emmc. I chose the only option: Boot from eMMc – system on eMMC. Everything went well except the message (while formatting): EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p1): Unrecognized mount option "compress-force=zlib" or missing value mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mmcblk1p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In …

Hi all, I've been struggling with the issue in the topic for a few days now. Actually the ideal solution would be a read-only root file system (with a writable overlayfs on top), so that I can just turn the power off, without risking any SD-card/filesystem corruption. There seems to be an easy solution for that according to this page: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/ section "How to freeze your filesystem?". But the package "overlayroot" that is mentioned there does not seem to be available for Debian (Armbian Stretch). A quick attempt to adopt the overlayfs-startup scripts to Debian failed, because Debian is using systemd and the…

Hello, I have a question about HDMI CEC in Armbian Stretch, is it possible to run this? After command lsmod I have module hdmi_hw_cec, I install libcec and cec-utils packages but cec-client still show "not devices". I read in sunxi wiki http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix that HDMI CEC should be active in revision 4.17, so when we can expect this version? :)

Hi I discovered that there are two versions of M64 bananapi. The first version on which all the kernel numbers go. The second version, which is not the kernel 4.19.x - kernel panic. The system will not run. I can not give you memory numbers because I covered it with sticking the heat sink. The first version is a model bought in 2016. The second version is the this year's model. The situation is similar to that of Nano pi T3 +

Hi, Since latest update just a few days ago (Linux bananapi 4.5.5-sunxi) , the bananpi keeps telling me this: [ 5 updates to install: apt-get upgrade] . When i try to upgrade there arent anything to upgrade. In did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and nothing to upgrade. I manually execute /etc/update-motd/40-updates and its true that it says that there are 5 updates. So there must be something there that its not chaning. Any tips on this? EDIT: ok i just fixed this by manually editing the file /var/cache/apt/archives/updates.number and setting it to 0 but i think this should be automatic and it wasn't working for some reason. (seemed like the script wasn't updatin…

Greetings, after a long time I am playing with my old Banana Pi Pro again. This time with the intention to probably use it on IoT purposes. That implies I only need WIFI and the GPIO pins. Which gives some opportunity to save power by powering down every thing else which is not needed. My first approach here is to strip down everything from the device tree I don´t need. That means everything related to: framebuffer hdmi lcd sata display engine ethernet video codec usb ir gpu/mali That resulted in a drop in power consumption in idle from: ~0.990 - ~1.330W to: ~0.700 - ~1.000W …

Hello, I run Debian/Jessie on a bananapi pro. The board suddenly stopped working completely. When I plug the power supply, the red led shows up (not blinking) and nothing more, no sign of activity at all, like on screen (hdmi). It is very surprising as it has been running very well for two years now, with a 5V/3A power supply and a sandisk SD card (like those advised). I checked that the sd card runs well on my laptop, the filesystem was not broken and no sign of corruption so far, especially in the /boot directory, no changes made lastly in this directory : latest modification dater are a few months ago. …

I tested the actual Xenial on my BPP but got a crashdump each time I reboot or shutdown the system. I found, that armhwinfo was causing this crash by removing the module a20_tp. Disabling the line /sbin/modprobe -r $(cut -f1 -d' ' </proc/modules) in /etc/init.d/armhwinfo avoid this problem. This line is part of a patch Thomas Kaiser introduced in October last year. I don't know, if this problem occurs only in my configuration (nothing special, but a connected Lemaker 5" LCD may be the difference), or it is related to the Kernel 3.4.113 only, but it goes reproducably wrong, if this line is active. It cause the oposite of the intention of this patch, because after…

Hello. I'm having trouble with infrared receiver. Whether the sunxi_cir driver installed in kernel or not, there is nothing in /dev/input except "event0", which is the power controller. Dmesg doesn't show anything neither. Version: Armbian 4.5 Lamobo-r1 Debian jessie next (unofficial), kernel 4.2.3. IR support was declared on download web page, so I decided to get vanilla kernel. That's because I had already tried Bananian with 3.18 kernel, and there were huge problems with kernel ppp (up to freezes of whole device). Has anybody encountered this problem?

Hi all, i am completely new to armbian and to be honest not yet completely convinced to change from bananian even that the time should have come. Until now, on my Bananapi M1, bananian was running without any problems. A few days ago, i tried to get familiar to armbian (debian stretch) for the first time on a test-SD-card. Now my problem: Since these tests, i am not able anymore to shutdown my running bananian-system to power off. The system seems to halt, but the power is not turned off and a few seconds later the Bananapi restarts. The problem remains even on a clear bananian1604-image. But: On the testSD-card under armbian the shutdown comm…

When I ssh to my Banana Pi (I / A20) there is a delay of a few seconds till welcome screen / prompt. With Bananian it was instant as still is with second BananaPi with Bananian and all other kind of Pis I have, rock64 with Bananian no delay also, but faster cpu off course. Tried ssh -vvvv and a look at sshd logs, didn't found something indicating an error yet.

Hello, is the last BPi Vanilla wheezy image somewhere still available for download? I want to run it with Open Media Vault, which still needs wheezy. Thanks a lot. Michael

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 ?
