As I said in another topic, I'm trying to make bluetooth work with my Pine64 1GB board The other topic is there : Yesterday I tried using `rtk_hciattach` from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bs_bt That was the program I was using with legacy kernel.

Does anyone know where i can find linux headers for the LTS/Sopine, or an image that contains them? None of the images from the wiki seem contain the headers. I installed the Armbian legacy with 3.10.107 and was able to get Pine64 headers using apt-get install linux-headers-pine64 but they seem to be missing many files when i try to compile. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello, I want to monitor the temperature of my Pine64, because I run the pine in an relatively warm environment. Unfortunately, the usual ways do not lead to a reasonable result: I tried the armbianmonitor: "armbianmonitor -m" with this result: Time CPU n/a load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU 17:08:20: --- 0.00 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% -13552°C 17:08:25: --- 0.00 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% -13673°C and read the file: /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp: contains the same wrong value -13552 Is there a way to activate the temperature measurement?

Hi, Since I still couldn't find a enclosure for my Pine64 H64 model-B, I mocked up one myself using a Eur 6,50 Raspberry Pi 4 case. 1) From the USB/ETH connector side I cut out the sections in between the connectors since there is a small offset that pushes the Pine64 board aside when closing the case. 2) From one of the cover lulls, I cut out a section to fit over the IR sensor. 3) On the HDMI side I cut out the two ports holes of the RPI micro hdmi connections and I made a notch in the USB-C hole to fit the power connector of the Pine64. 4) Drilled a hole in the cover large enough for the WIFI/BT antenna connector, on the board,…

Hi, Thank you all for so much work to fully implement the mainline kernel for the Pine64! So much is now working out-of-the-box with armbian, that there is no need to use the legacy version based on kernel 3.10. The pine64 does have CIR capabilities and the sunxi-cir kernel module is available, but we are still missing DT bindings for the device, although I see that an overlay file is present for the h5: /dts-v1/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h5"; fragment@0 { target = <0xffffffff>; __overlay__ { pinctrl-names = "default"; …

This is an old, original Pine64 Board w/ 1GB RAM. Armbian Version: 5.69 I am unable to get audio signal (output) from the Audio Jack. Tried normal headphone with 3 contacts, also tried headset with 4 contacts, BOTH fail to get audio out. Tried Stretch and also Ubuntu, no success... Does anybody succeed getting audio out from the onboard audio jack with Armbiam? If so, can you give a brief description of the procedure/steps and the soft(s) you are using? When using a external USB Audio adapter everything seems to work fine (connecting to the Adapter Audio Jack), so, I guess that from the point of view of…

Hi, i'm new with linux and SBC. My final goal is to use the board as a voice command recognition system (without display) and to be honest i do not know how to start. I downloaded Armbian desktop on microSD using balenaEtcher and I inserted it in the board e powered it! i do not have a display unfortunatly and i do not know if desktop version is the best choice or i have to install an embedded version if exists. Could help please? thanks

Hi, I have a Pine64-1gb laying around collecting dust for more that a year and had the idea to replace my RPi3 whitch is now running as a VPN Router. The RPi3 is restricted to 2 streams and cause cpu load to 100% so mabe the Pine64 could help here.

How can I keep the LTS-kernel (4.14) with a terminal command? The lastest update/upgrade installs the kernel 4.17. How can I avoid this kernel-update? For my long term-project I need the LTS-kernel 4.14.

Are there any plans of creating an image incorporating an mainline 4.xxx kernel for the pine64 boards? Kernel.org states the projected EOL for the 3.10 kernel line as october 2017.

Running Armbian Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 on a PineA64, legacy kernel 3.10.105-pine64. Why is it necessary or desirable to put the variable 'ethaddr' in armbianEnv.txt? I thought the hardware mac address would be detected by the kernel. Perhaps not?

I need to use a 10 inch 800x600 DSI display in a Pine64 project and I think the easiest way to do this would be to modify the driver for the Pine 7 inch DSI display. It appears to me that the display resolution is hard coded in this driver (panel-feiyang-07024di26a30d.ko) and not supplied by a device tree overlay like some other Armbian SBCs. In the C source for this driver, I see the following data structure which defines a 1024x600 screen size for the 7 inch display ... static const struct drm_display_mode feiyang_default_mode = { .clock = 55000, .hdisplay = 1024, .hsync_start = 1024 + 310, .hsync_end = 1024 + 310 +…

I have been running Armbian on a headless Pine64 (the kickstarter one) for quite sometime without any issues. Last week I woke up in the morning and noticed that there had been a power cut.

I have Armbian up and running very nicely on the PineA64+ 2GB board. Thanks to the community! Speed concerns aside, is it possible to attach a SATA drive to this board? What would be the recommended way to do so? It is the availability of large storage capacity that we need for our project, not blazingly fast disk writes.

Hi, on latest Armbian 23.11.1 Bookworm with PINE64 board I noticed those warnings in journal: Feb 12 10:00:45 pine64 systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/systemd-journal-upload.service:33: Unknown key name 'RestartSteps' in s> Feb 12 10:00:45 pine64 systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/systemd-journal-upload.service:34: Unknown key name 'RestartMaxDelaySec> I suspect the `systemd-journal-upload.service` is not in tact with systemd daemon version installed.

Hi, When will soon be ready for the Armbian Pine A64 Desktop Debian? Can I now install Debian xfce on the Armbian Pine A64 Server? and how? Thank you

I have looked up relevant information on Google. Since 5.6, pine a64 already supports dsi in the kernel mainline.And the Feiyang FY07024DI26A30-D 7inch MIPI-DSI LCD Panel driver and dts already released. But the 7inch lcd above is a video mode panel.I can not found any information about the command mode panel. Is pine a64 mipi-dsi supports command mode from the kernel mainline? Any help is appreciated!!

Hello all you awesome community members! So I got this Pine a64+ during their Kickstarter campaign. Initially I used it as a little play desktop. I never really found a use for it until very recently. I decided to use it as a little software Squeezebox client. I installed Armbian 22.04 server. I then setup alsa to use the HDMI audio as default output. I installed squeezelite and it immediately found and connected to my LMS (Logitech Media Server) running on my server. At this point I figured all was good. The sound was working great through my receiver. The next morning (Sunday) the kids could not get the TV sound to work. So of course …

After a fresh armbian installation + armbian-firmware-full package, the pine64 bluetooth doesn't work because the rtl8723bs_config-pine64.bin file is missing. I've downloaded the file from https://github.com/anarsoul/rtl8723bt-firmware/tree/master/rtl_bt into /lib/firmware/rtl_bt and it works so I've created a PR here https://github.com/armbian/firmware/pull/14 to add it to the firmware package so it can work out of the box. Let me know if I need to do something else for the PR to be merged. Thanks.

My Pine64 boots using Armbian_5.30_Pine64_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.10.105_desktop. I have added pine64_lcd=on to /boot/armbianEnv.txt and updated the module file. But now when I plug in HDMI nothing displays on the HDMI screen. I also can not see it as a secondary display. Is it possible to have both displays on or can I only have one, having to remove LCD if I want HDMI output?

What's the current status of 5.30 on Pine64 mainline? I've a spare Pine64 lying around and was considering compiling latest Armbian for it to poke around a little, test things if that's useful to the dev effort.

I recently upgraded my working Pine A64-LTS board to Armbian 10.9 by using standard 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' The update went fine (no error messages) and i rebooted the unit.

Hi everyone! I'm trying to build my own distribution for the Pine64, and I use armbian as a working reference. I'm able to compile ATF + U-boot + Kernel + rootfs and the board actually boots and I get a console over the serial interface and over HDMI. The problem is that GbE Ethernet does not work. It appears that the 8211 phy is not powered. The good guys on the pine64 IRC pointed to the ATF, where the DC1SW regulator should be turned on in order to power the phy. On armbian everything works just fine. I think I messed up something in the build - wrong version / config / dts in either ATF, U-boot or the linux kernel. …

Not sure if this has been reported - the usual way of enabling spi overaly "overlays=spi-spidev and param_spidev_spi_bus=x" seems to be broken and when an overlay fails at boot time, it tries to load the base dtb from /.../alllwinner/allwinner/*, note the extra allwinner in the path - so it fails. The pin definitions for the Euler SPI are wrong. When you manage to get both SPIs up. SPI 0 is being enabled as spi1.0 and SPI 1 being enabled as spi0.0. It also fails to merge board neutral ili9341 SPI definition files (at boot time) that has always worked on H3 and H5 boards. To work around for now, use the following ( spi0.dts, spi1.dts) to get the spidev's up …

I've been building armbian xenial images for my pine64+ a few times now and it works well. But I would like to switch to bionic if I can. I find it hard to find a good place of documentation for either the 4.x kernel or ubuntu bionic for armbian, specifically for A64/Pine64 boards. If I google, I see tons of forum posts with specific issues, but no coherent overview of any issues with 4.x kernels? And reading through 2-3 years of replies on some threads is a bit much to find the info I need. So what would or wouldn't work on a 4.x kernel on ubuntu bionic? Also, I am confused about who does what, and therefore where to go with problems. How are longsleep or sunxi involved …
