What is the the best reasonably priced camera module for Orangepi models these days? Raspberry has 5 and 8 megapixel camera modules from 7-30 euros. Orangepi has only 2 megapixel cameras. Or has a 5MP cameramode come available for Orangepi also? I've looked at Aliexpress and nothing seems to have changed.

Would I be using a 2-amp adapter instead of a 5-volt 3-amp? Is this a disadvantage?

Hello guys! i had download armbian for bananapi m3(a83t) from arambian for bpi-m3. And braking my mind with friending sinovoip LCD+touchscreen module. I tried all the known options for me to connect the LCD display S070WV20HG-DC16 with the touchscreen on the ft5x_ts driver, and failed because apparently not smart enough for this, the my brains are exploding. In the kernel, I did not find the drivers on the display (S070WV20_MIPI_RGB) and the driver on the screen in the kernel is not compiled. Is anyone can correct in the device tree file the parameters for the LCD section for the display as I understood the data can be taken from the fex file: …

Hi all, i have the problem that a restored image not starts. Following situation: i copy the armbian 5.69 ubuntu bionic next desktop image on a 8GB sdcard. Linux system starts. I make an update/upgrade of all files (Kernel Version 4.19.13 is installed). After that i compile a new Kernel und install it (same kernel version but including an added module). Linux starts again with the new Kernel Version. Even after a reboot or Power on, Power Off the system is starting again.

Hello all, My team and I are trying to use the ASUS Tinkerboard S (running Armbian Bionic v4.19.7, i.e. ubuntu bionic 18.04) as a platform to host a webapp, with a touchscreen as the user interface. We've successfully set up the Tinkerboard S to open chromium-browser in kiosk mode on startup using systemd, and a script that launches `chromium-browser --kiosk --app=server_url`. Our next step is to customize the boot process with the following changes: - none (or as few as possible) lines of text while the services are starting up - include a splash screen with our company logo, if possible Any advice on how to acc…

If possible, I would like to shutdown or wake up the Odroid N2 using a GPIO button. I followed the guide here: https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-n2/application_note/gpio/gpio_key_wakeup. The button LED works, but the button does not trigger shutdown or wake up using pin 9 and 11. Has anyone gotten a power button to work on the Odroid N2? Is there a specific Odroid module/software that isn't installed by default in Armbian? Additions to /boot/boot.ini setenv gpiopower "479" setenv bootargs ${bootargs} gpiopower=${gpiopower} After these additions, /proc/cmdline shows "gpiopower=479" as expected. I'm running Armbian 21.02.2 Buster on the Od…

It's a Debian stretch server (Armbian to be specific).

According to http://linux-sunxi.org/H2%2B#VariantsI should be able to differentiate between the H2+ and the H3 via the CPU SID. I have an Orange Pi Zero board with this output from /proc/cpuinfo Hardware : Allwinner sun8i Family Revision : 0000 Serial : 02004620161dea8a According to that site "the last byte of the first word" should be either 0x42 or 0x83 since the Orange Pi Zero has an H2+. Yet I am not finding 0x42 or 0x83 *anywhere* in "02004620161dea8a". Anyone know how to correctly identify the CPU variant?

Hello All, I finally got Armbian for the BPI-R2 installed and I must say, it is the best OS I had ever used on it. It makes the BPI-R2 usable now, which is great since it is very good hardware. I plan to use it just as a server (no desktop plans, as that could get too painful). If any BPI-R2 tests need to be done or the such, please let me know. ta, t.

No matter which image I take (stretch/bionic; Bananapim2/Bananapim2ultra; 5.38/5.69) my Banana Pi M2 Berry with it's Allwinner V40 won't boot correctly. The attached screen stays off and the LED keeps shining red. I used Etcher 1.4.9 portable to copy the image to an 16 GB MicroSD. It's worth mentioning that the Pi and the MicroSD work just fine if I'm running it with another distro, like the 2018-05-24-raspbian-jessie-preview-bpi-m2u-sd-emmc.img from the official website. If I'm using the image Armbian_5.69_Bananapim2ultra_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.13, then I'm able to access the Pi via ssh. Yet, the screen won't work at all. As an interesting side …

Sorry if this in the wrong spot. I need a bit of help here, I once or twice updated the kernel on the Rock64 from older versions but I've always ran into an issue where it just wouldn't boot anymore and needed to be re-flashed. I run a always up server that has to have little to no downtime and I wish to avoid having to re-flash again. So I want to know if its safe or not to upgrade to 4.4.174 from 4.4.167 I can provide more info if needed. Thanks

Hi, I installed more than one year ago pi-hole on a Orange Zero, since two/three month the admin panel of pi-hole remind me that there is a new pi-hole version available. I cannot figure out which is the correct way to upgrade it. Will the upgrade be released as a package through the armbian apt repository? I mean, will I get this upgrade with apt-get upgrade sooner or later? Are there other ways to upgrage it? Thanks.

Hi there. Is there any way to set hostname of freshly installed board with armbian-config not in menu, but from command line ? armbian-config --help gives some examples, but not for this case. And more generic question -- when I "burn" microSD image, first boot comes with questions about root password, new user, etc. Is there a way to do it in unattended mode ? E.g. with ansible. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello, i had installed Raspbian OS on bpi M2 zero and the power button was working fine. After switching to Armbian (Focal - Buster , etc), i have problem with the power button that does not work anymore. The images were released for the specific board, but although the power button doesnt work. Additional, the installed SPI LCD, when powered off using raspbian, the backlight was deactivated (so power on GPIO was also off) Now with Armbian, even if i shutdown via command, the backlight remains on. Any suggestions?

Hi. Does anyone have the deb package of the linux-headers-3.4.113-sun8i.deb? There isnt in the repository anymore. Kind regards.

Hi! I'm sorry, didn't noticed I had posted in wrong section, so here we go again! I'm trying to activate X11 hardware acceleration on this board. It's running an RT PREEMPT Kernel from the project AllwinCNC which aim to run linuxcnc software using ARISC core to generate steps in realtime. Unfortunately, I'm getting very bad performance in X11 with lima driver. It seems to be running on software and not the lima driver itself and I'd like to know if it is possible to have the graphics acceleration done in hardware instead. CPU usage is going to 100% and it is resulting in errors on the aforementioned CNC controller software due to this. BOARD: Oran…

Hi, since I upgraded my debian-based Armbian installations from 21.08.x to 22.02.1 the DISTRIBUTION_CODENAME variable is empty in the MOTD. It seems this error is in file https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/etc/update-motd.d/10-armbian-header since commit https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/3378/commits/1c71761973858c2bea16074075ef74157c2a960b. It tries to read the DISTRIBUTION_CODENAME from /etc/lsb-release, which is non-existent on debian-based Armbian.

I am attempting to format and mount a 256GB MicroSD as an external USB device on an OPZ.

I am using armbian on banana pi m2 zero with screen 1920x360.

Hello Armbian community, I recently purchased a Odroid N2+ board and am trying different OS. I flashed Armbian_22.08.1_Odroidn2_jammy_current_5.10.139.img.xz on eMMC card. The first boot up works fine. I was prompted to set root password, new user credential and locals without any issue. I then used 'armbian-config' to navigate the different settings. In the system security menu, I applied the firmware update (that's what the menu called), I assume it runs apt update && apt upgrade. After completion, it prompts me to reboot. So I did. Then the Armbian cannot boot up anymore. I am using Odroid N2+ headless, so I can only see the board blue led not flashi…

Hello. I want to use btrfs as my rootfs (Armbian Ubuntu xenial 5.14 on M2) so I can use snapshots to roll back, freeze for backups, and to help manage changes. Btrfs is also good for error checking and can provide cheap easy data redundancy. How does booting work on my BPI M2? How can I change the target root partition? What has to be on /boot (ext4) and what can be on / (btrfs)? Along the same lines, is it possible to boot off of a USB device either directly or indirectly (Small SD with bootloader and /boot→ USB large root device)? Is there some documentation or good keywords to learn about how booting works in the ARM world?

Hello, everyone. Shameless self-promo: https://github.com/znoxx/torbox This set of scripts will allow you to create a tor-enabled wifi access point. Image for OrangePI Zero is based on Armbian - i just disabled NetworkManager here to allow correct execution of scripts. The idea is - you get "normal internet" from Ethernet jack, then do some TOR magic and all traffic from wifi side is "torred". Also I2P is installed to have "more darkness" in your Internets. Everything intended to be completely headless with managing via web interface, written with node.js. Have fun. For russian-speaking persons - description is here: http://znoxx.me/tor-i2p-m…

Hey. I'm working on getting a small touch screen working on my OPiZ+2. It's a Waveshare 4.3 with a resistive touchpanel (using HDMI for displaying). I've had some issues getting the touch panel to work, and just wanted to share my findings, and ask whether I have misunderstood something. The waveshare wiki does provide a script for setting up the panel, but I think it's more aimed at a raspberry pi, and it didn't get the touch panel working.

Hello, I have questions related with overlay. I'm using Radxa Zero 3W and in the /boot/armbianEnv.txt it has overlay_prefix=rk35xx. I want to use this overlay /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/radxa-zero3-disabled-wireless.dtbo. If I cat /boot/boot.cmd it read the overlays with this line ${overlay_prefix}-${overlay_file}.dtbo. It means if I add overlays=disabled-wireless in /boot/armbianEnv.txt, it will not find the dtbo right? So my questions are, 1. Can I manually edit the overlay_prefix to radxa-zero3? 2. If can then will that has impact on the feature, eg kernel upgrade or anything?

Hi there! I am using a H3 board with TV out on a small 3.5" LCD screen (with composite->RGB24 IC). But I have a problem with picture being way too bright/washed out.

I am using ARM Cortex A7 board and had run coovachilli with its internal DHCP server successfully with external and internal splash pages.

I finished network booting for my Raspberry Pi 3 based on step by step instruction. Works good without any SD card in a school class 10 PCs RPI. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/net_tutorial.md Is any such howto for the orange pi prime? Is it possible network booting without a SD card at all?

Hi. I'm trying to display a rtsp stream using vlc, on a tinkerboard, running armbian, legacy desktop version. It runs very choppy. I have a duplicate setup using the Raspberry pi 1, which has much fewer resources, runs smoothly. Anyone got any idea why?

Hi I've just downloaded Armbian_21.02.3_Rock64_buster_current_5.10.21.img.xz for my Rock64 and flashed the image to a microSD card using BalenaEtcher. Over the last couple of days I've been writing a menu based script that creates a shutdown script to spin down HDDs during the shutdown phase on Linux based SoC PC. The reason behind the script is to get around an apparent problem whereby HDDs are forcefully being shut off when SoC PCs power off. I have posted this problem myself on the Open Media Vault forums, I have come across it here on the Armbian forums, the ODROID forums and also the Stack Exchange forums. During my script development and test…

Hi, I have "ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) 4.6.5-sunxi" running on a BananPi R1 router. I used to have it set up such that while it booted off the SD card, it had its root FS on an SSD. Some time ago, I had to re-install as an upgrade went fatally wrong and now I cannot remember the exact steps to switch from the SD card to the SSD as the root FS. I changed the root= in /boot/boot.cmd and generated the /boot/boot-scr and also changed the /etc/fstab entry but findmnt -n -o SOURCE / still shows "/dev/mmcblk0p1". Can anyone tell me the steps to take in switching to a new root FS? Thanks and ... stay healthy! Josef

Hi guys, I have an Orange Pi with Armbian running on a 5.4.88-sunxi arm 7l, and I'm trying to connect a CSI gc2035 camera. According to the manual, the gc2035 camera is only supported by Linux 3.4. Is this correct, or is there a workaround? My Orange Pi can't detect the CSI camera—do I need to switch to Linux 3.4?

Hey all, New to Armbian, installed to an Orange Pi 5. Installed XRDP - works fine in root (desktop shows) but if I try to do it as a user I just get a black screen with cursor. From searching I can see posts about already being logged in as a user already, and therefore black for privacy but I've not logged in as the user prior? Cant find anything really conclusive explaining how to resolve this Also even in root if I get logged out of desktop (RDP session still active, i.e. desktop lock screen) my root password doesn't work. Password is clearly not wrong

Hi there, Since being only a novice in linux, there are some things that are difficult to understand. Like - which configs to update or keep old versions when doing the upgrade. Last time I said N (keep original version) to everything. Really the only things I care about are vnc configs and samba setup. I basically use it as a network drive for backups. Only necessary software is x11vnc and samba. Else I log into it just for updates/restarts. I have tried upgrading my armbian several times. Unfortunately it does not work and I have to restore my sd card backup and start over. I update it making sure all apt updates are done, and then fr…

Just got a ODroid M2 to play with an during initial benchmarking, noticed some weird results. I don't see an M2 specific forum, so @Werner, please move as necessary!

From https://www.armbian.com/odroid-hc1/ I have downloaded Armbian_20.05.2_Odroidxu4_buster_legacy_4.14.180.img.xz on several different machines and internet connections and done a checksum verification using several different utilities and there is always a mismatch. Armbian_20.05.1_Odroidxu4_buster_legacy_4.14.180.img.xz.sha says the SHA-256 checksum should be DDAF33314FAE4515E047702257CCA93CC0C088D73F81118EA8CE6911E89210EB but the checksum utilities always report E8E31E653798EBC0FFCE9205A6D7BD625EA58F8728339E4D04604A002D737DEE I downloaded Armbian_20.05.2_Odroidxu4_focal_current_5.4.41.img.xz (which doesn't work wi…

Unable to comment with Firefox on RK3399 in the Armbian forum. See image. Since Chromium isn't working right with Google account I've been using Firefox instead on the M4V2. For a few days I'm unable to comment on the Armbian forum itself with it. In Chromium this works (since I'm commenting with Chromium now) Also have an issue with Facebook not always loading fully in Firefox, don't know if it's related. Just saying so it's known. Cheers.

Hi guys, I designed a custom board based on allwinner H3, i would like to emulate this board on qemu. I saw this pagehttps://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/arm/orangepi.html that says qemu has orangepi-pc machine. I built qemu from source but orangepi-pc machine missing. Same for recent ubuntu package. Should i add orangepi-pc machine into qemu and where can i find machine files ? Thanks.

Last week I downloaded the checksum for armbian20.05.2_Orangepiplus2e_buster_current_5.4.43_desktop.img.xz and checked the checksum that came with the download. The .img checksum downloaded with the image and the checksum I ran were the same. When I check the online checksum here on armbian.com under downloads, sha, TODAY, the checksum is different. Is there any reason for me to believe that my original checksum and download may have been corrupted? I realize I can just re-download the image now, but whose to say that the one posted now is correct and not the previous one (while maybe both correct/fine)? I know that checksums can change over time,…

Dear Friends, I have been testing Armbian 22.04 Current CLI version and 22.01 Edge Jammy CLI and both does not reboot. When I reboot Armbian the LEDs stop to blinking but I can clearly listen the rust-drives spinning, also the LCD is still active. Initially I though it was because the software that handles the LCD but I made a test without it and it was the same. I also thought that was because the spin drives, but when I did the test I made it without the disks as well, therefore I excluded both cases. Since I didn't read anything about it, I think this issue is affecting just me, any idea where I may look to find out what …

Hello friends, I apologize for such a noob question, but I was not able to find the answer in the forums, nor via duckduckgo. Since the 23.08 upgrades were released (thank you again to team Armbian!), I noticed that the "default" image for the Orange Pi 3 LTS is Armbian 23.8 Bookworm. The minimal CLI image weighs in at 267Mb. My OPi3LTS SBCs are all running Armbian Jammy 23.08. The minimal CLI image weighs in at 195Mb. My understanding is that Jammy is Ubuntu (22.04.3 LTS), and Bookworm is Debian (12.0). But also Ubuntu Jammy is based on Debian Bookworm/sid. My questions are as follows: 1. What goes …

I have a unique hardware setup with an ARMv8 architecture but a 32-bit 'armeabi-v7a' ABI. My goal is to install a 64-bit operating Ambian (or others, even a 64 bit Android Go if possible) system on this hardware, replacing the existing 32-bit setup. The device is a kids tablet ZIDS701 by Trayoo. The current OS is Android Go 10 32-bit. I'm kind of a newbie to firmware, so I'm reaching out to the knowledgeable members of this community for guidance and assistance in achieving this. I'm particularly interested in recommendations for a 64-bit OS that would be compatible with this setup and any steps or considerations I should be aware of during the installation process. …

I am currently facing a challenge with my Orange Pi 5 running Armbian 23.8.1 Jammy. I'm trying to get an exFAT formatted USB drive to work with this setup. I cannot mount an exFAT filesystem, despite having exfat-fuse and exfat-utils installed. The system fails to recognize the exFAT filesystem, displaying the message: "unknown filesystem type 'exfat'". I tried to install this module: https://github.com/arter97/exfat-linux. But I'm getting an error, that states that the driver already should be included on this version of the kernel: root@orangepi5:~/exfat-linux# make make -C /lib/modules/5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588/build M=/root/exfat-linux modules mak…

Hi, i have a problem, on my first boot i cant use my Keyboard because Armbian doesnt recognized it. i use Bookworm as an Image

a Few days ago I started noticing strange behavior with calls failing and pods with valid imag tags not working and finally figured out what seems like armbian stopped trusting any certificates. When I apt update I get errors (certificate something something) When I curl google.com it says invalid certificate and have to use --insecure for it to work. I've run update ca-certifactes -f to try and force it to trust them again but no real idea of what is wrong here.

TL:DR Orange Pi Plus 2e USB ports are not working on newer images (LE and Armbian). Full story: Hi. I am Catota and I am new here. I am mainly a windows user with very little experience with linux. My brother recently discovered an old forgotten Orange Pi Plus 2e and gave it to me as I was looking for a media player. It has a functional Armbian 20.02.1 installed in its internal memory, but my brother does not know the passwords for either the normal user or root anymore. I installed the latest Armbian from the SD slot and it booted just fine, but the USB ports (used for keyboard and mouse) do not seem to be working. I installed the l…

Hi I've been on a ride. First things first what do i want help with. I want to know how to install Armbian on an ssd connected via sata. (I know about the sd card hand off, edit this file; sudo nano /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt) I have a Raspberry 5 that I have armbian 13 minimal cli installed on a sd card, I have other means if it makes a difference. I have an ssd connected to a radxa penta sata hat that i have successfully installed with editing the config file, also have an ssd installed and shows. First time around i used the imager to install an exact copy of the os on the ssd which also meant exact copies of labels and uuid's, which i learned the hard way is …

What about the new Banana PI M2 ultra ? Is it a real SATA controller ? or just one more that is channeled through the USB ? And is this machine likely to be supported by Armbian ? It in short seems to be a little overpriced and the eMMC storage to be to little. And the M3 left a bit bad taste in my mouth, but if it is Sata that gives more speed than USB and if it will be Armbian supported then I might give them another go.

My printer doesn't work. Armbian sees the printer but I cannot print anything. Via console command or for example Google Chrome print it doesn't work. My printer is a cannon printer. And the system is a new system, has nothing changed. As I mentioned in the title, it's a plus 2 board. Also the system is up-to-date. SOLVED ------ Installed cups-driver-gutenprint then my printer appeared on the list. "apt-get install cups-driver-gutenprint"

Hi there, I am just starting with Armbian, installed on odroid c2 emmc card, all seems to work, but when I tried to install software via armbian-config/softy just when I hit that I got on the screen small error: /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc: Warning: /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf It is disappearing after 2-3 sec and I can install software which works (at least omv which I wanted) but it is weird to me.

Hi evereyone, After doing some upgrades my Pi-hole Admin Page was not reachable anymore, while blocking still worked. 1. Problem The lighttpd service was not running because of the missing folder /var/log/lighttpd. So lighttpd crashes when trying to access /var/log/lighttpd/error.log and access.log. Reinstalling Pi-hole and lighttpd didnt solve the problem. So I first created the folder myself: sudo mkdir /var/log/lighttpd sudo chown -R www-data: www-data /var/log/lighttpd Then I reinstalled Pi-hole and lighttpd, now lighttpd was running. Unfortunatly now I ran into 403 - Forbidden when accessing…

Hey. I'm trying to set up a 3.5" spi touch display with my orange pi zero +2 (H5). I've gotten the display to work - console is displaying fine, and the same with Xorg. However, getting the touch panel to work, seems quite difficult. (I tested it on a pi, so I know the hardware works). I've been running through all the threads I could find in here, regarding these setups, but I haven't been able to crack it. I have tried a lot of different variations of using spi-spidev, spi-add-cs1, customized spi-double-spidev, setting the param_spidev_spi_bus etc. I have a suspicion that something is off with the second cs channel, as this seems to be where I get my err…

Hello all, I've been having a *fun* old time getting this 3.5" LCD (http://www.lcdwiki.com/MHS-3.5inch_RPi_Display) I have laying around working with my "new" BananaPi M2 Zero (http://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-M2_ZERO). I know fbtft_device has been dropped as of kernel 5.4 and have been researching into how others have done it. I now know it requires custom overlays, (dts files, etc) and using sudo armbian-add-overlay xxx.dts as well as having a conf defined under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ (attached). I'm *real, real* close (got the LCD flickering!), but I think I need some guidance with the dts file (attached). I've seen…

I am trying to figure out how to compile and load the Xradio drivers onto an orange pi zero LTS. I am having some troubles with the xradio drivers that came with my image and am hoping that https://github.com/fifteenhex/xradio will add some improvements. There does seem to be some code change so I am remaining optimistic. I am able to compile the drivers with the kernel from https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build but it crashes network manager and a few other modules when I try to modprobe it, I am guessing it is because this kernel is not an armbian kernel. I am trying to get the kernel https://github.com/armbian/build to work, but it doesn't look…
