Hi, 2 weeks ago I upgraded my Cubietruck to newest Armbian version: root@cubietruck04:/var/log# uname -a Linux cubietruck04 5.10.4-sunxi #20.11.6 SMP Sun Jan 3 21:28:45 CET 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux root@cubietruck04:/var/log# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Release: 10 Codename: buster Since that upgrade the Cubie is crashing often compared to the last years ( every ~3 days), in the last 3 years I have never observed that. Please help me to find out the issue. From kern.log I see 2 different crash reasons: Jan 2…

For the second time within about 4 weeks my cubietruck is not coming up anymore after a sudo apt upgrade and reboot. Is there something systematically breaking? I think it is the initramfstools that is breaking it? Now, I have no radio, alarm-clock and I cannot turn on my coffee-maker over the internet and I will probably have to spend a day etching a new SD card etc. I bought a new SD card last time this happened since I figured ist would be related to that, now I think it is a software thing. I use the cubietruck headless over ssh and have no real video output, just audio. I also need to do some cumbersome operations t…

Hi everyone, I'm new to Orange Pi Zero 2w and Armbian. I'm trying to use the image on the zero2w. Installing on the SD fits and works so far. Unfortunately, there is no image on the screen via the HDMI port. Could it be due to the image? The old OrangePi image with the 5.x kernel works so far. Do you have an idea? Best regards

I have a problem similar to post http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/182-freezing-problems-with-bpi-r1/:my board is blocked for the second time. But my configuration is quite different from that post: Kernel: linux-image-next-sunxi 4.3 (version 4.2.0-sunxi) UBoot: linux-image-next-sunxi 4.3 (2015.07) RootFS: on sda1 powered by the board (WDC WD10JFCX-68N) UpTime: about 10 days before my last restart. When the board is blocked I can't interact with the debug console on the serial port. I cant't find anything interesting in /var/log, but I'm not really an expert.

Is it possible to return to the old standart motd on armbian jessie sounds like a joke but im an minimal user and when it is possible how can i do this thank you

Can somebody help me, how to install teamviewer on Orange PI Zero? I want to do it via SSH. How to get ID and password of teamviewer after installing? (which one image https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/ is best for me? I need to view desktop...)

Hi, After reading a post about NAS for allwinner, I need some advices: So far I have same performance on my raspberry pi b+ and my orangepi2e : 2 hard drives 2 To 2,5" usb on a powered hub. (approx 11 Mb/s max through AFP/nfs share). Gigabit does not seem to be the bottleneck on the pi since it does not impact my bit rates. My question is simple : can I have better performance if I make a RAID via btrfs ? Do I have to format my hard drives ? What is the best distro ? (I used armbian but does not seem very stable compared to the raspberry, what about ubuntu server, or raspbian ?) Thanks

fresh install on orange pi zero, got mail and found about 23MB various log files were sent out. it's serious, to where? to Armbian?

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!

Hi, i am running armbian stretch on an OrangePi PC with "-dev" kernel and uboot. This was originally an jessie installation with legacy kernel, that was upgraded. I'm wondering now, why the cpu frequency only scales between 648 and 1008 MHz instead of 408 and 1296 MHz.

As title says, how to install image on eMMC on this board? My board works fine on TF card with every image FriendlyElec, DietPi and you here provide, but i haven't managed to make it boot from eMMC. On official Wiki there are some misleading. For Ubuntu they say to select image from eflasher and burn it on TF card. Eflasher folder has two images. Which one? Although i tried both. Anyway, if i burn boot image on TF card, should eMMC stays empty or to burn on it, say, root image? Or to burn root image on TF? I had a few attempts but no luck. Obviously. On Android, they say to insert TF card into PC and burn image on eMMC? LOL. Again should i burn any…

Hi, Did anybody play with Cedrus on the recent kernels? I'm going to play with it on Bananapi m1, kernel 5.4 and Ubuntu Bionic. Should I just got step-by-step using this instructions http://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-Cedrus ? The goal is to evaluate whether this is suitable solution for video surveillnace. I'd used kerberosio with an IP camera for couple years and this does not work good with motion detection.

Hello ! I have a problem with an OrangePi Zero under Armbian Buster with mainline kernel (5.8). I need to put the module snd-aloop as primary soundcard (index=0), and the integrated soundcard sun4i-codec as index=1. It worked very well with kernel 5.4 and before. I just had to load the snd-aloop module by adding it to /etc/modules and add "options snd-aloop index=0" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf. But now this is impossible, snd-aloop doesn't load. I had this message when I try to load it manually : modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'snd_aloop': No such device After reading configuration file of the kernel, I saw that the module sun4i-codec (integrat…

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've been trying out the latest version (4.3) of armbian on my Banana Pro and I noticed that the power button does no work as expected (apparently pressing it results in a hard reset). It looks like the OS can see the power button but I can't find a way to receive the button pressed event, the OS always halts first. Did anyone find a way to get the power and reset buttons to work?

Hi, I'm trying to get pygame working on Banana Pi / Banana Pro (with LVDS display) using the armbian 4.5 CLI images, but I'm unable to succeed (I think I'm missing fbturbo). I tried to install the basic desktop following armbian guide, but pygame still is not working. A little help on this one would be very appreciated, thanks !

Hello, questions about armbian for orangepi pc: - Will there be an Armbian Desktop 3.4.113 Jessie? - Is Ubuntu Xenial Legacy 3.4.113 Stable?

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…

Hi, I've been running armbian (Debian Jessie) on my Cubietruck successfully for a while now, its mainly just an mpd server. It runs as a headless server and I use the optical spdif connection, ethernet (although I used to use the wireless). I have my root partition on a 2.5" hdd. I currently have: linux-image-3.4.106-cubieboard linux-headers-3.4.106-cubieboard linux-firmware-image-3.4.106-cubieboard I've seen the page http://www.armbian.com/kernel/ and added the repository as instructed. I really just want to confirm if you think I'll run into any trouble with spdif and ethernet if I upgrade to mainline kernel. My understanding is that I …

I've gotten the board up and running and on Wifi, but this is supposed to be a dim wifi 'lamp'. Just to start out: how do I connect the +- to the board How do I tell the board to power on the leds And for more advanced: Is it possibly to do voltage-limiting dimming as opposed to PWM If no: what's the best way to do PWM? (I'm perfectly fine with creating a c program that simply turns it on and off at a specified hz, but there may be a more elegant tool I'm not aware of) Thanks

Hi I only have an old monitor, and I thus need to use a HDMI-to-VGA-converter to work with my Orange Pi PC Plus. When powering the Orange Pi on, the green LED on the board is constantly ligthened. On the monitor, I get a black screen, after 4 s (or so) a totally red screen. No text. No graphics. Then after about 15 s, on the board the red LED starts to double blink. The red screen remains for ever. I have tested the Raspbian and Debian images available on http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/. They work fine with the converter. Alas, the preferred OS, "Orange OS" armbian, seems not to work. Board: Orange Pi …

Hello, I want to use Armbian on a Cubietruck with an Onyx Boox Max 2 ebook reader (HDMI port) as display. I tested Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y and Armbian Xenial desktop legacy kernel 3.4.y. But with both systems I get a black screen. I use the serial console to access the cubietruck.

Hello dear commnuity have installed armbian banana pi m2 kernel 4.19 on a BPI How to get the graphical configuration screen!?

I'm trying, with no success, to make a 3,5 inch tft lcd screen function with an orange pi zero plus (h5) via SPI. I will love if someone could help me diagnose the reason why I'm failing in doing so. The screen in question is a WaveShare knockoff -> link (the pinout can be found at the bottom of the page.) I'm running Armbian buster 5.92 with the kernel 4.19.63 and all packages upgraded. I also have a working serial connection (using the UART pins located next to Ethernet jack on the board) and am using the 'screen' program to communicate with the device. When connecting the screen and turning on the board the leds on the screen turn…

Since there isn't an Orange Pi Three forum I am going to post it here. Due to python requirements for PiKVM I installed the latest Jammy build. When i did the install everything looked like it worked but I could not get the remote keyboard and mouse to work with the OTG port. I tried changing the dtb but it didn't work. Comments in the kvmd-armbian discord channel recommended trying a different kernel. After trial and error I found OTG worked with kernel 6.10.9-edge-sunxi64 and remote keyboard and mouse functioned. With the default 6.6 kernel the ethernet port didn't work, but wireless worked. I was also able to get my mt7921u USB wireless adapter to work. In 6.10.9 the …

As tkaiser would say, Lamobo-r1 has terrible design but the concept is good (multiple usage possible: network, misc services) But let's be honest, perfection is when you are dead. Like sleeping & coffee some weeks ago, I was wondering (right or wrong) if a DMA config for the lamobo-r1 GMAC would help the bandwidth issues. One CPU core is 100% with all the gazillions of interruptions to handle. Now the DMA for A20 is in the mainline kernel but I am missing some tech glue. I have read an example in the kernel 4.3 doc with DMA config (DTS) for DWMAC (*if* applicable, not only for STMMAC, but also for A20-GMAC ???) links: stmmac kernel 4.3 documentation d…

Hi all ! Sinovoip just send me a free sample of a new board, BPi M2 plus. - H3 SoC - eMMC (7.3 Go) -Inboard Wifi+BT ( chipset AP6212 ) Very good, thanks to them ! So I have installed Armbian (here), but the wifi doesn't work yet. I have found the driver source, (http://www.mediafire.com/download/68vvpim3k3po0ur/support_ap6212.rar) but I think I must recompile all Armbian to try if this driver works. Some questions: 1) Can I compile Armbian with a Ubuntu 16.04 x64 desktop, or 14.04 is better ? 2) If so, does a source is available somewhere (and maybe a tutorial? XD ) ?

Hey, I have one Cubietruck newly installed with Xenial some weeks ago and one Cubie that had Trusty installed. Both Armbian. So today I made the dist-upgrade from Trusty to Xenial.

I wrote scripts to to automate device setups. All fine. To play videos I installed LXDE and mpv. The video did not work as there is no acceleration. Drivers seem to be broken (05.02.2017 compilation - I read about the broken drivers, but do not have the solution) …

It seems that the latest Nano Pi Neo Air Boards and the relatively new Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 both use a modified version of the AP6212 WiFi+Bluetooth module, which is physically labelled as AP6212A. This new module apparently requires different drivers to operate. From my own experience, I was unable to get the internal WiFi module to work on a Nano Pi Neo Air (with AP6212A) using any of the Armbian distributions. However, I was able to get WiFi to work on that board with the Friendly Arm distribution at from https://www.mediafire.com/folder/sr5d0qpz774cs/NanoPi-NEO_Air#oc15bwqbuxgxe. I just received a second Nano Pi Neo Air from a different vendor, and this …

Hey All, I moved my armbian OS from OPI H5 Zero Plus2 to OPI H5 Zero Plus (the one with the LAN), the WiFi is working perfectly but the LAN is not recognized, nor i can find any sign on dmesg or boot (but its there, i see it). ifconfig and ifconfig -a show only the "wlan0" and "lo". I am using ARMBIAN 5.64.181015 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS 4.14.76-sunxi64 with (armbian-config for Zero Plus 2) As it took me pretty much time to spin-up the OS, i would like to avoid burning a new OS. Is there a way to activate it or add/build it drivers? Many thanks

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 all, I've been running into an issue where the kernel starts throwing error messages (https://pastebin.com/bmPJPeq0), the board becomes very slow and the cpu load goes to 11 and stays there.

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

Image: Armbian_5.04_Cubieboard2_Debian_jessie_4.4.3 Board: CubieBoard2 (SD+NAND version) Available platforms: i386 with Debian Jessie (sunxi tools) and PowerMac G5. Before Armbian, I had Cubian installed on an SD card. I saved the NAND root data and all the NAND? sub-partitions, so I have a full image of the original NAND and images of each partition. I took out the card, and inserted a fresh Armbian installation, it boots up quickly and works fine. However, as I wanted to set my CubieBoard2 up so it boots from a S-ATA disk (I bought a 1TB WDC drive), I decided to run nand-sata-install. But I got only one menu item to select, so I cancelled. I then did a cat…

Update: BPi M2+ is done but further results would still be interesting. Now we need results for NanoPi M1. The most simple way is using the Armbian image as outlined in post #4 below. The only thing you would've to change is the following and can then run the lima-memtester binary as outlined below: ln -sf /boot/bin/nanopim1.bin /boot/script.bin echo nanopim1 > /etc/hostname reboot Dear BPi M2+ users. I just tested DRAM reliability with my BPi M2+ just to realize that this board doesn't run stable even with just 624 MHz clockspeed (currently testing 600 MHz for an additional hour or so). In case you have a BPi M2+ it would really help if you could do the sam…

Hello, With a bananapi pro, which legacy image is better to use ? ubuntu xenial or debian jessie ? I intend to use it mainly as a server and occasionally to watch movie on a hdmi screen. I do not want to install a full desktop, I prefer to log through ssh and launch an X server remotely. Also, I need an mpv (mplayer) with acceleration enabled. thanks for your help Regards

(jessie 3.4.112-sun8i) How to use debug TTL UART(three pins next to the power jack )?

Hi, i am actually a bit confused. I thought that a NanoPi Neo V1.0! which is set to 1200Mhz Clockspeed, enabled USB and enabled GPU should burn a additonal 1A (fast) Fuse while doing a 100% Stresstest. It doesn't. Just get more speed and heat... I added an additional Wlan Stick for more powerconsumption... but this doesn't help either. In my opinion and the always stated "on 912Mhz" max 2 Watts... it should kill the 1A on 1200Mhz no? 5V 2W = 1A ... I do a small cluster here and i want to save the GND Rail for shortage to save the other nodes if one Node is melted down and cause shortage. I thought a 1A Fuse has to burn up... but reality is kicking my …

After flashing sd wih image and setting up boot from sata or usb by the use of armbian-config sd card is still needed. Would the A20 recognize u-boot (bootloader) on diffrent device than sd-card?

I usually build a new armbian full os image, apply some kernel options and have no problems booting a sopine64. The last known good version for me was: Armbian 5.51 / Kernel 4.14.54 The latest (and starting with 5.57) with Kernel 4.17.16 only seem to 'half boot' - they start up uboot but fail to load the OS and instead attempt to do a network boot over TFTP. The errors go by so fast that I can't really read it and have to resort to trying to video capture it and the monitor seems to be slow to initialize and i only see the tail end of the errors scroll by. I am sure a lot changed between 5.51 and 5.57 - I noticed a new…

Hello, I am on a nano pi neo, I get an optical input with an external usb audio card. I d'ont know how to use the onboard spdif as an optical input so is it possible to get the optical input of an usb card (wich I see with alsamixer) an output sound to the local analog output (I already can play sound on this output) ? Maybe a loopback or an audio software could helps.... Best Regards

Sorry for the minimal info provided in this report but, due to the possible data corruption which the bug may cause, I'm not willing to reproduce this again on my board which runs in production. One week ago, I experienced data corruption happening on the nanopi. Actually it was some time (more than one month) that I saw the board acting weird: - long ssh transfers would sometime brake (via https://github.com/dooblem/bsync) - `apt update` reported invalid keys for the official armbian repository - on rare occasions, the board would freeze (not respond to ssh, requiring manual power cycle) After experiencing data corruption, I …

Last night I was digging through the logs, and i found an error msg that said that I was over clocking the board without without heat protection. Couple of Questions: 1 I don't have a heat sink on the CPU, do I need one? 2 I haven't done anything to the CPU speed, and running Wheezy and Jessie off of different SD's. Is overclocking turned on in the release? It is really cold here in the high Desert, right around freezing for 4 to 12 hours every night. Not as cold as northern EU, but cold. The room temp is probably 60-65 degrees F. I have the Micro in the Micro case from Olimex. Does the processor need a heat sink? thanks in advance Mike

I've posted this on the Orange Pi subreddit here: https://redd.it/5bqnghbut figured a more active community might be better. I am using my Orange Pi Ones for SETI@Home, I also use Raspberry Pis for the same purpose. I've noticed since, around, Armbian 5.20 that SETI@Home(BOINC) won't stay running for any more than 6-12 hours. It's being sniped by Out of Memory. I've tried a few things, posted on the subreddit, but here is the short list: Logged Memory ---> Can dip below 100MB during usage but not often Enabled Swap/Increase Swappiness---> 0 to 10 (I don't care about SD Card life) Adjusted BOINC/SETI to use 75% memory None of the above seems to have helped.

Do I need to swap the kernel as well, or is it ok to keep the existing one? As for the script.bin, what's the best way to get one? Download an image and mount it, use fex2bin to generate one? Any help is appreciated. Than…

Hello, guys, has anyone ever faced issues with SPI controller on BananaPi M2 ? I am having a weird issue which is confirmed by at least 2 peripherals: Waveshare 3.5 LCD and NRF24 wireless chip.

Saleae logic analyzer is always showing correct pictures !!! See attached image as an example of reading STATUS register from NRF24: master is sending 0x07 and receiving 0x0E (14). I have tweaked byte rate and other parameters - no result. I have finally tried to connect using…

Banana Pi (original "model 1") A20 Was running flawlessly on Xenial - latest updates - almost everything worked (I run it on a LiPo battery to transport back and forth from work to keep my Resilio Sync data "in sync") Resilio seems to work fine - except in Bionic I can't use avahi to resolve names on my LAN... this worked in Xenial on the same hardware. The reason I decided to try out Bionic? Couldn't find a resource to upgrade from OpenSSH 7.2 to 7.3 or greater (I'm making heavy use of features not available in OpenSSH 7.2 on my other machines). I've tried tweaking my /etc/nsswitch.conf file to no avail... Sheesh - "avahi" just worked out of th…

Hi, Using the latest Armbian release (19.11.3) on OPi Zero (512MB, board revision 1.5) I have a strange issue. On kernel 5.3.x, Ethernet connectivity drops sporadically, around once every couple of minutes, for typically 10 seconds or so and then recovers. When the drop happens, a ping from another machine on the network produces 'no route to host' - then after around 10 seconds or so the network comes back up. The OPi Zero continues running normally during the 'outage', without functional network access. There is nothing in the dmesg log when this happens. Switching to kernel 4.19.62 from armbian-config, everything works perfectly. Back to 5.3.x, the iss…

Hi guys. I installed Armbian 23.8 Bookworm on mmc and I have not eth0 interface. WiFi works. Could you help me?

I've installed Armbian 23.11.1 Bookworm on a FriendlyElec ZeroPi. On the cmdline the linux command who gives the following output: dgs pts/1 1011643795265722162 (172.20.10.14) Usually it should be (as on a Debian Bookworm distribution): dgs pts/0 2023-12-14 10:43 (172.20.10.14) Instead of showing date and time the Armbian who command outputs this long integer number. Why? Is this a bug or do I miss any configuration? PS: the locale settings is identical on both devices, date shows on both devices the correct time.
