Currently using an image based on the latest (13/12/16) in: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib Some changes recently have resulted in emmc based clearfog-pro boards requiring the SD card to boot again. There's a new variable in /boot/armbianEnv.txt to enable the emmc fix. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to help. Based on the SolidRun wiki: http://wiki.solid-run.com/doku.php?id=products:a38x:software:development:u-boot you can patch the sdhci to give the signal that an sd card is in the slot diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-388-clearfog.dts b/arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-388-clearfog.dts index 8fa7b27..b8b05ad 100644 --…

Hello, There are many leds on the clearfogpro that I would like to switch off. But /sys/class/leds only has "mmc0::". Is there a way to access other leds ? namely those of the ethernet ports ? Regards deb2016

sorry for asking about espressobin... I had this board working with armbian, but it was sitting in a box for a while. I remade the sd card with the new current 5.10 buster and it won't boot. I tried different sd cards and power supplies. It hangs at "Loading, please wait" Maybe I need new u-boot, but that https://minio.k-space.ee/ site isn't working or is gone. Not armbian's fault obviously. Anyone know another way to get a current u-boot image? I don't really want to build one. I don't have a toolchain set up and I'll probably buy a different board anyways. (Anyone know a well supported 2 port box that's easy to get in the USA?) These things a…

Hello, I have recently bought one clearfogpro and one orangepi+ 2e. I power them with a RD65A adapter which delivers both 5V and 12V DC. You can see everything on the pictures. There is also a 2.5" hard drive connected to the clearfogpro. Before powering up everything, I would like to be sure all cables are correctly connected, there is the picture of all connections to the RD65A 1) The main power cable : the red (phase) goes to the L, the blue (neutral) goes to the N, and the green/yellow goes to the ground. 2) V1 is 5V for RD65A, so I plugged the orangepi+ 2e and red cable of the sata power 3) V2 is…

Folks, it has been a long time since I messed around with my ebin v5, but just wanted give it a second chance as I need to do something about my EOL Cubietruck (and my "broken" NT4 domain). So I started a second attempt with "Armbian_22.08.1_Espressobin_bullseye_current_5.15.63" just a few days ago, but didn't got much further than updating uboot and to apt update / upgrade the system, before I got distracted again. In the meantime I noticed the new "Armbian_22.11.1_Espressobin_bullseye_current_5.15.80" and I thought it would be a better idea starting from scratch with that version. However, when I boot this up from SD the only interfac…

Hi, I am currently trying to install a secure /trusted U-Boot into the EspressoBin and got several questions for this issue. I followed this manual: https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/u-boot-marvell/blob/u-boot-2017.03-armada-17.10/doc/mvebu/trusted_boot.txt Regarding this manual the Flag for "efuse write BOOT_DEVICE SPINOR "has to be setup into NOR-Flash, so that the device will only boot from NOR anymore (which is a reason for security, I know). Can I skip this step, so that I do not damage the complete board? I would choose UART for testing my encrypted bootloader. I skipped the step "efuse write DEV_DEPLOY 1…

I've set up my local EspressoBIN with 18.04 Bionic (Armbian_5.44_Espressobin_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.14.40.7z). My impression is that it's very much like setting up Xenial and the same issues seem to be present. I mention them in the order of importance. 1: #reboot sometimes hang, so does #poweroff. It would be great to get this fixed, because it would be a disaster if a device hangs on rebooting from remote (eg. the device is 200km away). 2: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade destroys the network setup. No network access is possible after doing this. I think a fix is important, because people would likely issue those commands. …

Hi, I have not been able to find clear instructions explaning how to compile u-boot so it detects the installed msata disk. What I think I have to do is rebuild u-boot using the armbian build tools and patch uboot by moving and renaming file below ~/armbian/patch/u-boot/u-boot-mvebu/slot0=sata_1=sata.patch.disabled to the folder ~/armbian/userpatches/u-boot/u-boot-mvebu/board_clearfogpro/slot0=sata_1=sata.patch After builds completes I get a linux-u-boot-clearfogpro_5.74_armhf.deb which I installed and nothing happened the msata disk still not detected.

I recently, yesterday, updated u-boot to 800-800. I did a dist-upgrade to buster. I've got kernel 4.19.56. I'm using espressobin as a firewall for my home network, connected to comcast (where I used to have ipv6 addresses). systemd reports version 241. This is part status-report, documentation for others, and questions. Used to have ipv6 addresses - So before the dist-upgrade and kernel upgrade, I was on .20 in Jessie. And systemd-networkd was giving me prefix delegation such that my home net had public IPv6. Now, systemd is unable to complete the transaction. It just repeats this block: [edit] I had it misconfigured. Network startup - Whe…

Hi, With a downloaded and installed Armbian Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS image things seem to work as expected: lan0 and lan1 act like they are ports on an ordinary ethernet switch. My LAN is connected to lan0 and a device (HDHomeRun) is connected to lan1. The device and the Espressobin are accessible from other computers on the LAN and the Espressobin can access everything on my LAN (and beyond). But, digging deeper, something isn't quite right. The DHCP server on my LAN has been configured to assign a fixed IP address to br0 and the DHCP client for br0 on the Espressobin should be activated by /etc/systemd/network/10-br0.network: ebin@espressobin:~$ c…

I installed the latest stable (and updated) debian image on clearfogpro from SD card. I then chose "boot from SD, install on SATA ..." as I have a M.2 SSD card which is viewed as /dev/sda device, with the "armbian-install" utility. However, this one does not offer to boot directly from M2. SSD, which should be possible as there is a DIP switch configuration for it. I tried to burn the iso image on sata with "dd" and then, to "dd" the u-boot.sata on "/dev/sda" (bs=512 seek=1). When switching to sata boot (dip switch), it begins well, the sata device is found, but nothing happens after, the iso image is not loaded. …

Hi, the ClearfogPro has a so called TDM interface. This also contains a pin for spdif and i2s. I have been trying to get it to work for some time, but unfortunately it is not included in the solidrun image nor is there any documentation on it from their side. As far as I figured it out the TDM is for some external VoIP Cards, and I2S is a sound protocol between sounddevices. So I would like to use SPDIF to stream some audio to my amplifier. I checked in the function and hardware specs for the Armada 388 (88F6828) and the schematics of the clearfogpro and it seems that pin mpp51 is would be used for spdif. This pin al…

On the 4.14 kernels, I get port 0000 and IRQ 0, and also doesn't work Has anyone managed to get the serial port working on the header pins 24,26 of the espressobin? I have posted more detail here on the github page but no progress so thought I'd ask here if anyone has had any success with this? Thanks …

Hi, I updated my ClearfogPro today and noticed (that like in the last updates), updating the linux-u-boot-clearfogpro-next package fails, with the error "/dev/mmcblk2" doesn't exist". This happen obviously, because I don't have a SD Card installed, as I am using a M.2 SSD to boot and as root. Quick check inside the .deb file revealed the platform_install.sh which only tries writing the u-boot.mmc version to /dev/mmcblk2. For me this is not a big problem, I know how to get the correct u-boot into place (/usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-clearfogpro_5.60_armhf/u-boot.sata) but new users might find it difficult. Would it be…

I've flashed two boards and they both come up with the same MAC in Armbian f0:ad:4e:03:64:7f Can this somehow be altered before flashing the new u-boot?

i had contact with some devs regarding this problem: Compex cards (wle600 and wle900) do not work on kernel 4.4.x without changes. The answer i got is: Maybe someone could fix that? Would be really nice! I have no idea how to do that with the irq_mode

I am running armbian 5.44 testing Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.40-mvebu64 on the espressobin and quite enjoy the default setting of plugin it into my my network without having to change anything (no changes to DHCP, routing, existing firewall and port redirection settings), but I have no way of introspecting the network like I would like. My project is to have a monitoring device on my home network that then helps me set up traffic shaping rules (eg. stop those annoying updates of the "other OS" from preventing everyone from using the internet, simple browsing rendered unusable). For that I want to use ntopng bridging and policying https://www.ntop.org/…

Hi everyone, especially armbian maintainers! I'd like to make use of great performance of this board regarding SATA performance which is crippled by 1Gbps so my question is, would etherchannel work on this hardware? I understand that the board has only 1Gbps from the switch (dual LAN ports) so I guess the only possible way to exceed 1Gbps output would be to bundle WAN && [LAN01|LAN02]. Anyone tried this or believe it should work? I don't have the board to try. Thanks.

Hello all, it is this time of the year again. The pcie struggles with certain devices have returned with LK5.10 and are unfortunately not magically gone with LK5.13 As interest around clearfog is not that high, I am not expecting quick solutions here. But will post my findings and perhaps solution. If you have ideas welcome to chime in. pcie especially with wifi cards has been troublesome on clearfog (maybe even linux on the whole) forever(?). In LK5.4 we had it at a point where multiple different ones ran fine. Even "higher performance" ones as QCA988X (WLE600). We also list them as "supported hardware" on the download page... Now starting …

New revelation... the v7 of espressobin has flipped the ethernet port order. On v5 they were (left to right) lan1 lan0 wan On v7 they are (left to right) wan lan0 lan1 When I load armbian with latest u-boot (I believe v7 are the only boards with ddr4...) the ports are in v5 order. The v7 ports have the intended wan port separated from lan0 lan1, so they really need to be re-assigned. Is there a way to fix this without rebuilding u-boot?

Hello, I have a small fan (2-3cm diameter). Do you know if it is possible to plug it on the clearfogpro board ? On the mikrobus header, one can see GND, 5V, 3.3V slots. Can I plug the fan wires into these ? Thanks for your attention Regards

Hi I am trying to get my board restored. Following a simple power on reset, which I have done many, many times in the past. I have never worked with this or any other board at this low a level before (UART restore - whatever that is.) The entire memory of the bootloader has been wiped out for no apparent reason. I am wondering if this is a common problem after seeing 3 other people reporting it on the espressobin forum? All I have is the E and > appearing on the serial console. I am following this page: http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Bootloader%2Brecovery%2Bvia%2BUART In the image choices I can download, it offers a …

can somebody confirm this problem? in the year 2017 someone mentioned in http://espressobin.net/forums/topic/boot-behavior-of-the-switch-and-security/ some security concerns with older uboot bootloaders and port-mask setting in armada-3720-espressobin.dts(i) this seems still to be the case in the current released armbian bootloaders found in https://dl.armbian.com/espressobin/u-boot/ WTMI-devel-18.12.1-e6bb176 U-Boot 2018.03-devel-18.12.3-gc9aa92c-armbian (Feb 20 2019 - 09:45:04 +0100) since they also seem to use port-mask = <0xf> instead of the suggested port-mask = <0x3> ?! https://github.com…

Hi all, Over at Doozan we are having quite a time trying to get kwboot to work on the newer Armada 385 based boards. It works for the ClearFrog because there is a DIP switch to select UART boot. However on shipping products like the Zyxel NAS326 and the Western Digital EX2 Ultra/EX2100/EX4100 this is not an option. Does anyone else have any of the above products? Were you ever successful in getting it to load u-boot via uart?

Hi everybody, I have an Espressobin v5 in front of me and by default it boots fine from SATA: Now I need it to load the bootloader (U-Boot) from SD card. However, I can't seem to get it working. What I have tried so far: 1. Set the jumper on the board (J11,J3,J10) to "eMMC download mode" as well as "eMMC alternate download mode". 2. Get a SD card connected to my Linux host. Empty it with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdg bs=1M count=100". 3. Then I tried to get the U-Boot on the SD card, but I am not exactly sure about the proper way. I tried two different things: 3.a. I just copied it raw onto the SD card with "dd if=…

I just got my EspressoBin V7 and installed the current armbian for it. I haven't tested much, but Globalscale has changed the numbering of the ethernet ports, as can been seen in the Wiki of the EspressoBin. What do I have to do to rename the ports permanently, so that no update can change it back? Or is this something that needs to be changed in armbian for the V7 boards?

Hi, I have this latest ESPRESSObin v7 board. It doe's not boot official Armbian BIONIC. I have used Armbian before on other chips and I am pretty confident I am following the instructions correctly. Steps I did to get it going: 1. I followed official instructions to flash u-boot with bubt tool to it's latest version. My board is DDR4, 1GB,1 ram chip, 1000cpu,800ram. I got the right one - as all works just fine after a reset. Also applied relevant boot environment as instructed here https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ 2.

Hello to you! I was using Arch Linux ARM on my Clearfog Pro for years. Then things got bad. I think it's a bad combination to have a distro with the most up-to-date software while developers are rapidly abandoning and not testing 32-bit Linux software. First wget became incompatible with gnutls and then programs in coreutils that use utmp started malfunctioning. The last straw was the system became unbootable, issuing a message about ext4 "ext4fs_devread read outside partition 18446744073709551440". I switched to Armbian but now I'm at a loss as to how to configure DSA on the Clearfog Pro. I installed the mv88e6xxx but the LAN ports on …

I have worked through the installation of Armbian Ubuntu 18.04 to the embedded MMC in an ESPRESSObin v7. It took a while and there were some quirks along the way, so here is a procedure with observations that may be useful to others. The Armbian u-boot does not appear to recognise the eMMC. I used Globalscale's u-boot espressobin-bootloader-cpu-1000-ddr4-1cs-1g I created a USB stick using the standard procedure and booted the ESPRESSObin from this. I copied the Armbian .img file to the ESPRESSObin USB system and used this to flash the eMMC sudo dd if= Armbian_5.69_Espressobin_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.14 of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=128K status=progres…

I have Armbian 5.38 Debian Stretch Default running 4.4.115-mvebu and it is working fine. If I try to use either Debian or Ubuntu with the Next kernel (4.14.14) Network Manager always fails to start with a long wait (1 - 1.5 mins). Both Debain and Ubuntu images behave the same with their respective kernels. (4.4 yes, 4.14 no) Is this fixed in 4.15? Am I missing anything using the Default kernel? I've read in other posts where Igor and Mr Kaiser state the Next kernel is more 'mature.' I'm starting a fairly ambitious project with this board so I kinda want to make sure everything will run. Thanks!!

Hi there, as already discussed here, https://forum.armbian.com/topic/5318-looking-for-an-enclosure-for-espressobin/?do=findComment&comment=49396 it seems that this 4-sata mini pci express card is supposed to be supported by armbian. As I wrote in that post, it doesn't work for me. I've tried Armbian default and next. The cards work, since I got them running with espressobin's Ubuntu distribution. Also, I've compiled a 4.4.52 Kernel according to: http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Build+From+Source+-+Kernel It also works just fine with Armbian. So, my guess is that there's so…

Hi everyone, I updated the Linux kernel on my Espressobin to the latest version (5.6.2) and had some issues booting from SATA as my SSD was not detected properly after boot. Using the device tree from an older kernel version did help, but I also read somewhere that updating to the latest Armbian U-Boot would solve the issue. So I downloaded the version that matches my hardware (flash-image-ddr3-2g-2cs-1000_800.bin) and flashed it. It indeed fixed the boot issues, but now only 1 GB of RAM is detected instead of 2 GB. This happens as soon as the board is powered on, in U-Boot: DRAM: 1 GiB Before that, I was using the U-Boot…

Hi, I am setting up a Clearfog base as the backend for my music player. As a high-end audio device it would be a clear advantage if all processing could be passively cooled. Running Armbian_5.27_Clearfogbase_Ubuntu_xenial_default_4.4.70 the default heatsink gets very hot to the touch and feels much hotter than the reported 49 degrees. Does anyone know if there are any differences between the available kernel and armbian versions regarding temperature? Does anyone know of any inaccuracies in the temperature reporting for the ARMADA 38x? What could be regarded as a safe (reported) operating temperature for the ARMADA 38x? …

On my Clearfog Base, I noticed that the temperature reported in motd was different than that reported by /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp - and reading the script at /etc/update-motd.d/30-sysinfo I found towards the end a comment about readings being done on the heatsink for Marvell systems (of which this is one), and the code subtracts 30 degrees Celsius from the reading. I searched around and couldn't find any other mentions of needing to do that. I guess I'm curious how it was determined that this was necessary - and how accurate it actually should be. It seems like a questionable assumption that the sensor would report a temperature that was always …

Recently acquired an Espressobin Ultra. When I attach an ssd (a Kingston 500GB NVMe 2280 M.2) to it the device won't start. It displays no sign of powering on. I have tried two different SSDs. no difference. Without one attached as soon as power sis applied all the ethernet interface LEDs flash briefly. With the SSD card that doesn't happen. There is no activity at the console. Do I need to change jumpers or do some other setting at the Marvell prompt before attaching it? Help would be much appreciated. Many thanks LA.

Background Most of the instructions I found on installing anything on the Clearfog Pro or Base with eMMC were either not applicable to me, incomplete or missing some file or there was some other barrier. After a couple weeks of tinkering and notation I feel I have a good handle on getting Armbian on this board by several different methods. Here I will describe my path to using TFTP to install Armbian on my Clearfog Pro. First off, I have no clue why so many tutorials include a line that reads something like "but that would require you to set up a TFTP server so we're going to go through a lot of other rigamarole instead.' Really? This guide got my TFTP serve…

Hi, I'm running armbian 5.27 xenial / kernel 4.9.12-mvebu on a Clearfog base, where eth0 should have a static address and eth1 gets its config. from DHCP. The system has three possible interfaces (including the empty SFP port - eth2). By default both Ethernet ports eth0 and eth1 came up with DHCP, however, I couldn't find any config covering both of them. nmtui had a config for eth1 and eth2 (if I remember correctly), while the /etc/network/interfaces file only had a config for eth0. I have now tried to configure eth0 with a static config, both by adding it in nmtui (which didn't seem to have any effect) and…

Does armbian builds for Espressobin support u-boot's driver MVEBU_EFUSE_FAKE to fake efuse access?

I just want to confirm the US equivalent is compatible - https://www.amazon.com/HUAWEI-ME909S-821-Wireless-DC-HSPA-TD-SCDMA/dp/B01CCFS0SY/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1532795467&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=ME909s Thanks in advance

Hi All! I am verifying the function about pcie to net port on armada-3720 ESPRESSObin. I insert 3 PCIE network cards in 3720 with PCIE bridge, connect to PC by switch. PC ping 3 net port at the same time ,but only one net port could be pinged successfully. I use the same test environment to test on the cavium's development board ,and PC can ping 3 network cards successfully at the same time. Besides, I used 3 network cards connect to 3 PC directly not by switch on 3720, and 3 PC can also ping 3 network cards successfully at the same time. Through the above cross-testing, it seems that this problem will occur as …

I’m having a lot of trouble getting started with Armbian Ubuntu 16 (SD Boot) and the board. I downloaded the default image from https://dl.armbian.com/espressobin/ and wrote it successfully to the SD card. In UBoot, I have tried using the cmd at https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/bootscripts/boot-espressobin.cmd and there is no armada-3720-espressobin.dtb file at the path that is called. It also cacks out on the if statement saying there is no “load” command. If I don’t call the expressobin.dtb and bypass the if statement, using “run bootmmc” starts it loading but it hangs and throws some errors and then han…

Maybe a long shot: rather than setting up armbian on my new ESPRESSObin (epb), installing needed SW and tools, porting configs off my Cubietruck (cbt), would it be possible to tweak the cbt's SDcard / FS to boot on the ESPRESSObin? If I'm not mistaken the cbtis armhf based and all those binaries should also run on the epb!? Would it be "good enough" to add the arm64 architecture to the CBT with "dpkg --add-architecture arm64" and then to install linux-u-boot-espressobin-next linux-image-next-mvebu64 linux-headers-next-mvebu64 linux-firmware-image-next-mvebu64 linux-dtb-next-mvebu64 linux-$(lsb_release -cs)-root-next-espressobi…

Hi - I ordered a 2gb Espressobin from Globalscale and later flashed flash-image-2g-2cs-1200_750.bin, which caused my Espressobin to hang at: TIM-1.0 WTMI-devel-18.07.0-6050fd5 WTMI: system early-init SVC REV: 5, CPU VDD voltage: 0.898V I am able to boot to SATA using the sata recovery image, but cannot flash back to the working flash-image-2g-2cs-1000_800.bin. Here is what happens when I boot to SATA and attempt to flash the old bin: Booting Trusted Firmware BL1: v1.2(release):armada-17.02.0:v0.2-1324-g1cd562c BL1: Built : 16:29:17, Apr 20 2NOTICE: BL2: v1.2(release):armada-17.02.0:v0.2-1324-g1cd562c NOTICE: BL2: Built : 16:29:17, Apr 20…

Hi again, The Clearfog base has two push buttons, but these don't seem to be hard-wired to any hardware functionality. Does anyone know how to find them in the system and monitor them for events? They could then be used for example to reboot or power down the system. BR. --Marius--

Since I don't have one unit yet and the information related to this board is scarce, I'd like to ask if someone who owns one could test what the power budget for the board is. In Marvell's github wiki there is the following mention: It would be really great if under load and with all the network ports connected to gigabit the board only took 1W@12V. I found a script in github that would help to reduce power usage: https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/main/wiki/Power-Saving-Script Thanks for you help. Depending on the results I may have a solution for one project where I need to use a dual-lan board with low…

I recently got a ClearFog Pro board and wanted to replace my router with it. In order to add Wi-Fi functionality, I installed an Intel 4965 AGN PCI-E extension card. So far I have tried the following two images in order to get it to work: Mainline 4.9.7 The mainline kernel neither detected my Wi-Fi module nor the additional, built-in LAN ports. However, after updating the kernel with "apt upgrade" to 4.10.x, the "iwlegacy" driver necessary for the Intel Wi-Fi module started to work. However, the LAN ports are still missing. Entering "ip link" gives the following output: Usually, there should be lan1, lan2, lan3... …

Hello, I have discovered interesting behaviour of the clearfogpro switching between lk4.19 and 5.8 and would like to know if others are able to reproduce. And maybe have ideas on how to fix. Steps to reproduce: - have a clearfogpro - get the current armbian image https://archive.armbian.com/clearfogpro/archive/ 20.08 - 'apt update && apt full-upgrade' - set the lan1-6 interfaces to bridging (example via following /etc/network/interfaces : https://pastebin.com/dpXEBe6g ) - reboot - plug into your network should be GBit (on lan1-5). Verify you get ip, and can reach other devices. - run iperf3 between clea…

I just came across this line: -Is this correct ? scriptaddr is where the boot.scr is loaded, as far as I understand, it overwrites itself by loading armbianEnv.txt to the same address. So wouldn't it be better to load armbianEnv.txt to kernel_addr, initrd_addr or fdt_addr, since armbianEnv.txt is only used for a short time ? I have not tried making an armbianEnv.txt, which is larger than boot.scr, but it looks like it would stop the board from booting if it's just long enough to overwrite the 'env import' line.

Hi, I've been trying to compile an armbian image based on (any but In this case) the dev branch, Jessie using: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/libwhich seems fine. I write the .raw image to an sd card and throw it in to get an error: ** File not found boot/dtb/armada-388-clearfog.dtb Looking at the sd card compared to the pre-compiled images I can see that it isn't there. I'm new to compiling armbian (could you tell?) so sorry in advance if the answer is obvious. Any help or documentation people have for building the clearfog board I'd really appreciate.
