Hi eveyone, I am coming from a a hint off Github here: https://github.com/armbian/documentation/issues/165. Igor was so kind and redirected me to this community. I am struggling since beginning christmas to get my EspressoBin to latest versions out of dusty 2018 images. Device EspressoBin v7 DDR4 1G 1000_800Mhz Baseline - What did I do? - Update U-Boot according https://www.armbian.com/espressobin to devel-18.12.3 - Flashed SD-Card with armbian Focal via Balena according https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ - Updated Boot Environment according https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/#kernels-archi…

Hi All! I am having a lot of trouble making my ESPRESSObin v7 1GB DDR4 run without crashes. I have tried both Bionic (5.75 4.19.20) and Stretch (5.75 4.19.20) images, and neither are stable. I have tried with a lot of different PSUs (all switch-mode though) and booting from both microSD and USB sticks. My U-Boot is "flash-image-ddr4-1g-1cs-1000_800.bin". It seems like there is about 50% chance that it will boot without a crash. The type of crashes I get seems random. Ex http://ix.io/1JGY And then it just freezes. Or this one which includes a proper kernel Oops: http://ix.io/1JGZ While runnin…

Hi. I've ordererd a new bunch of espresso bins from globalscale. they have the same board revision as my old ones (V5_0_1 and 1G 2CS) - but now I get an error while trying to flash armbian uboot (mentioned in https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/) Marvell>> bubt espresso/flash-image-1g-2cs-800_800_boot_sd_and_usb.bin spi tftp Burning U-BOOT image "espresso/flash-image-1g-2cs-800_800_boot_sd_and_usb.bin" from "tftp" to "spi" Using neta@30000 device TFTP from server 192.168.5.5; our IP address is 192.168.5.10 Filename 'espresso/flash-image-1g-2cs-800_800_boot_sd_and_usb.bin'.

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.

Hi all, I came upon a few threads in this forum while working on the bootloader for my ESPRESSObin Ultra. I noticed all of the warnings here about CPU frequency (https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/#), and I think this community might be interested in the work I'm doing. I've have an ESPRESSObin Ultra which ships from Globalscale with old, buggy, and unmaintained firmware. I think the old firmware could explain a lot of the issues users have reported here with the V7. I forked the old factory firmware build script from Globalscale and moved it all to up-to-date, upstream projects: https://github.com/bschnei/ebu-bootloader I believe with some small modific…

Hello, I have just updated armbian on my clearfogpro and after the hard drive plugged on the PCIe sata card (2 slots) is no more recognized, it does not appear at all in logs.

Hi, I have a problem with my ClearfogPro, it worked fine for some time but now theres something wrong with the system clock and I am unsure wether this is caused by the hardware or software. I set the time with the date command, then copy it to the rtc with hwclock --systohc... After a few moments the times in sys/hw are already a few seconds apart. The system clock seems to be about 1/3 second to slow.... So after a few minutes its completely off, this causes ntp to stop working ofc. I tried fixing this by using adjtimex but the setable value range ist not large enough... This is the output of timedatectl c…

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.

The postfix V7 suggests that it will eventually succeed the EspressoBin V5 and in a long run, the V5 might disappear. Since I am about to start a business based on the EspressoBin, I would be really interested if there are good experiences regarding the V7 – as I had a very disappointing one, while the V5 seems to run very stable and reliably. By "reliable", I mean suitable for a home server running weeks and months without any bumps or hickups. I'd also be interested whereelse I could find a community running the EspressoBin in reasonable numbers to investigate there as well. Thanks in advance and sorry for the off-topic with respect to Armbian.

Hello every one, I own two ESPRESSOBin boards V5. And to both I attached an XCSOURCE® MiniPCIe Sata3.0 AC696 extension card via MiniPCIe.

I've been running the Ubuntu from GlobalScale until now. -I finally had a chance for switching to Armbian, so I did; now I'm running 5.50: Ubuntu Xenial (4.17.3). So far, I've installed it onto my SATA harddisk, it boots, network is available via DHCP, web-server is up, SSHD is up, I can update via apt-get, etc... But there's still one important piece missing; I need to make the IP-address static (which was one of the main reasons I switched to Armbian). On GlobalScale's forum, I get the impression that Armbian is much easier to configure static IP address for, but I have the impression that I should not touch anything /etc/network/interfaces*. Instead…

Trying to tweak settings for NAS use cases I built a Debian Jessie for Clearfog Pro using vendor kernel (4.4.59-mvebu). Just for fun I made a Gigabit Ethernet LanTest with an USB3 RTL8153 -- target is a Seagate Barracuda on an ASM1062: Now with onboard eth0 it looks partially better but writes to the NAS are way lower: It seems RX packet processing happens on both CPU cores and slows the device unnecessarily down.

Having trouble getting the modem to show up in the /dev/ folder. I have a HL8548 Sierra Wireless mini pci-e connected to my Clearfog-Pro. Currently using Armbian 3.10.104 "jessie". I've tried using a stock image, going through the kernel config menu to turn on PPP and looking for any settings related which I can turn on (Can't seem to find anything device driver related). My understanding is it's part of the stock Kernel and should show up as a USB device (gone back to the supplier to check the AT command was sent to have the modem in the right mode). If anyone has experience getting a mini pci-e cellular modem going in Armbian I'd appreciate any advice. …

Hello everyone, I am trying to achieve first boot with a Clearfog Base with eMMC. It was not clear (at least to me) that the eMMC version does not allow booting from SD card *at all* But hey, let's get this baby up&running, can anybody please help me? I am trying to follow this procedure [https://www.armbian.com/clearfog-base/]: 1) Write the image to a USB flash drive -> easy enough, I did it with Win32DiskImager and a well-tested 64GB USB stick 2) Load the modified u-boot (from the Armbian image) using the UART method -> I have issues here. I suppose that UART method consists in plugging in the microU…

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…

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. …

My Espressobin v5 with 4.14 reports 800Mhz and I am wondering if is there any progress on making it work at 1G or 1.2Ghz?

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.

Hello, today I tried upgrading my ClearfogPro Kernel from 4.14.106 (next) to 4.19.20(dev). So far everything seems to be working (samba, dnsmasq, minidlna, network etc.), see also attached armbianmonitor link. Great work @ armbian. I also noticed that the reported temperature by "cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp" seems to be about 20°C lower than with the old kernel. I appreciate this, because it seems to be closer to the real value (measured with thermal probe at heatsink). The old 4.14 kernel always reported some value around 65-70°C which seemed a bit high for idling (cpu running at 800Mhz like 80% of the time). The new valu…

Hi everyone, So I am a real beginner with networking so I though I would buy this board for learning and messing about. But I cant get the switched 6 port Ethernet to work.

Hi all, I have an espressobin v5, running the newest Armbian 20.02.01 Buster that is available online (installed just recently). I am using this device as a home gateway/router so there is hostapd, dnsmasq, iptables that kind which is all working perfectly. But I cannot enable name resolution for the subnet!! Packet forwarding works fine, if I set the DNS manually on any of the devices connected to the subnet then the connection works perfectly but I would prefer to have it performed dynamically for any guest that connects. I installed bind9, this is the named.conf.options file: acl allowed_clients { localhost; 172.24.0…

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 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 …

Just in case someone else experience this problem, this might be a solution. In order to try and get my EspressoBIN to work with a port multiplier, I figured that I'd boot via a microSD card, which then does the real boot from SATA. But I had plenty of problems writing to my microSD card, which worked fine for the CubieBoard2 a few minutes ago. The thing I did wrong was to write (armbian) to the /dev/mmcblk1 using the DD command. eg. dd if=/some/path/Armbian_5.50_Espressobin_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.17.3.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1048576 ...

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. Is that how am I supposted to go about to enable msata support? …

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 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 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, 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.

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? …

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.

The Espresobin wiki says 2 x Gigabit Ethernet 1Gbps / 2.5Gbps SGMII / HS-SGMII / RGMII Does that mean we actually have 2.5Gbps Nic x2? I also find this link But it's saying And there is even an official wiki talking about 2.5Gbps. Anyone has any luck on 2.5Gbps mode?

Hi Everyone, I'm considering getting an Espressobin to use as a simple NAS. Is this a good idea? My requirements are quite basic; a single SATA SSD and a single ethernet port, running NFS and Samba. I do need a newish version of Samba (required to support "Time Machine" backup from my Mac) which I believe is in Debian Buster but not in Stretch. I've been a Debian user for decades; I guess I might be happier if the hardware supplier provided a Debian image, but it's great that Armbian is available. This board's hardware looks good; it has a SATA connector. But there are a few posts here mentioning stability issues, related to power supply hardware or possibly u-…

If so I have two possible options in mind to fix my problems. 1) Cut down on the padding so the image can be loaded (not sure where the configuration setting for this is yet). 2) Possibly compress the image and install it? Not sure if 2 is possible but have to ask. If there's another option I'd also like to hear it.…

Hello everybody and a nice evening. I have two EspressoBin 1GB at home and try desperately to change the static IP. No matter if in the armbian-config or under /etc/systemd/network/10-br0.network I just can not get it. Does anyone else have any advice? I've already tried Google and the forum search but any attempt fails that the IP is constantly jumping or that I no longer get a gateway. Armbian is a great distro and nobody has gotten the kernel to work so far. I hope you can help me. Alone a nice evening :-) LG StarSurfer

Hey guys, I've written a brief guide of getting ARMBIAN running on ClearFog Base, hoping it will be helpful for new bees. getting_started_with_clearfog_base.md It's like a note of how I was managed to write images and to boot ARMBIAN from USB, eMMC, or SATA SSD. And some details of A388 SoC boot selection. The guide is based on ARMBIAN 5.30 and ClearFog Base + A388 SoM with eMMC, and I believe that all the steps were verified, although I've tried several versions of ARMBIAN (both Deibian and Ubuntu) and got lots of boot failure. If there's any mistake in the guide, or there's a better way getting things done, please make comments here…

Is the ESPRESSObin version 7 supported by Armbian?

I just pulled my espressobin back out of the box, re-imaged with 4.18.6-nvebu64, and sparked it up. Nearly everything just works, I'm so impressed! The only problem I'm having is that the bcache tools doesn't seem to be providing a kernel module -- at least, none is present anywhere I can find, particularly in the initramfs. Any suggestions?

I have a few 2G boards bought from Globalscale over the last few months. They've been working fine without any issues. So far I've been using the firmware that came with the boards. One has: TIM-1.0 WTMI-armada-17.10.1-b90dbf0 ENTER init_ddrgen DDR_TOPOLOGY is 7 : DDR3, 2CS 1G + 1G WTMI_CLOCK=2 ... U-Boot 2017.03-armada-17.10.1-gaee49fc (Jan 29 2018 - 18:21:49 +0800) (and has the w25q32dw SPI) The other two have: TIM-1.0 WTMI-armada-17.10.5-bb8f823 WTMI: system early-init SVC REV: 5, CPU VDD voltage: 1.143V ... U-Boot 2017.03-armada-17.10.2-g14aeedc (Jun 01 2018 - 15:39:10 …

not an expert in device-tree, anybody knows how enable uart2/uart4? dts is attached. expressobin v7 mainline many thanks. armada-3720-espressobin-v7.dts

Where to find u-boot files? Download link from source page for EspressoBin doesn't work: https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ gets you here:

I've installed the latest u-boot for the boards I'm working with (I have a v5 and a v7) and while I have been able to figure out how to set the MAC in linux, I would like to set the WAN MAC at the uboot level if possible. The u-boot environment variables seem to have no affect. 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?

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 …

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…

Good evening, as uboot doesn't get updated automatically since a few versions back, I ran the uboot install script manually today - so far everything worked, uboot got copied to the boot sector. After rebooting though it seems that uboot is not working / properly compiled. It runs normally until the point where it would boot linux, then stops saying it can't find the various commands (bootz, help, echo etc). It dropped me to the uboot shell. I tried a few commands (help, reset etc) and all just gave a "command not found" failure. After restoring the 5.75 uboot from some backup it works again. Is there some known problem…

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.

Hi, I downloaded and installed v. 5.30-next yesterday - kernel 4.11.4-mvebu. The board apppears to run slightly cooler than with v.5.25 and has been stable. This morning an apt upgrade to 5.31 was available and I started running the update. Apt upgrade has now been running for about 4 hours, compiling linux-headers-next-mvebu (5.31), with most cpu time going to cc1. Top is dynamic, with cc1 taking anything from 0% to 100% cpu, so I am guessing that nothing has hung but that header compilation will take a long time on this system. A similar very long linux header update was experienced when I tried to update this system …

Hello Everyone! In the company where I am, we are migrating the current Zynq architecture with DDR3 to Armada 3700 family with DDR4. Before deciding to migrate, we bought some espressobin and were delighted with this product. We have therefore attempted to develop two cards that use the armada A3700 processor without success. We concluded that the problem is HW but we don't know exactly where. I have done numerous tests. I try to summarize the key points as briefly as possible. Our board uses DDR4 MT40A512M16LY-062E IT:E with Armada 88F3720-A0-BVB2I080-P123. We have created a TIM, WTMI, Uboot package using A3700-utils-marvell, mv-ddr-m…

Hi, I'm using an esprossobin with Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.19.56-mvebu64. However regardless inwhat USB-TTL / Serial adapter I connect to he espressobin's USB2.0 port I don't get a ttyUSB0 device I tried to use a Prolific and a couple of others I got lend from a friend

Morning All, Around a year and a half ago I found the USB port from my Espressobin V5 had broken off. This has not greatly affected me because the board itself continued to operate perfectly up to the point of merging with the mainline kernel 5.x which it simply will not boot, I am assuming because a new boot script needs to be set for the device as described on the download page ( https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ ) but of course I am unable to access the U-Boot command without serial communication. I have set the kernel update on hold thus far, but this of course cannot hold forever. Is there anyway to update the boot script without access to serial commu…

I am trying to resuscitate an EspressoBin that I purchased back in 2017. I bought it to make a Linux firewall, but the Ubuntu image apparently wasn't up to networking, and I was too busy to deal with attempting to make a custom Linux build to ensure that networking was enabled. I am specifically looking for help with the SATA Rescue procedure. It seems that Armbian has created a Linux image with networking enabled, so I am trying to load the image. The Armbian instructions said to update the bootloader before attempting to use the new image. I (tried to) follow the instructions, but I had no success with the load. Using Kermit on my Linux laptop to watch …
