This gives you an hour of data with per second updates. If you set update every = 2 and hist…

Hello. I'm using armbian on my orange win plus. I'm using it with an external hard drive, which has 3 TB of disk space. My orange has a sd card with 32 gigs of storage. I'm currently using it as daily backup server for one of my servers. However, armbian shows a full diskspace, so I cannot proceed any further.

I'd appreciate some advice for using an Orange Pi running usbip as a host to extend a UPS's USB connection to a Windows desktop client on the same subnet. I've done a little research and from what I'm reading this should work but I'd like to hear which Orange Pi, arm OS and usbip version you recommend. Thanks!

Hi All We are having a problem where on booting the /var/log is filled and uses all mmc storage space. Does anyone know how to intervene in te booting process to stop this mapping and filling up of the fs? This issue sometimes causes the device to fail to boot properly and remain inaccessible. (It may indeed be that an unclean shutdown is causing this problem). Booting up properly is essential for us and we do not want or need these logs . We send the logs over the server, so capture these anyways. This posting refers to our same issue: Any help much appreciated. Thank you for Armbian! Best wishes Eric

Hi, I just upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4 using apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. Unfortunately the device is headless and I don't have a monitor.

Hello, I'm planning to replace my old (but very good) Banana PI (the first model, it should be called M1 if I remember). I basically use it as my personal cloud server, for some remote daily backups and for messing things up Now I'd like to replace it with something newer and maybe I'll use the Banana just for experimental purpose. So I searched the internet but can't find something that really fits my needs, maybe somebody with more knowledge than me can give me an advice. It should have, at least: - SATA (which is a feature I can't find in many boards ) - Gigabit Ethernet (a must) - USB 3 (at least 1 port) - 1 GB of RAM (2 are b…

So far I've done this: sudo nano /etc/rc.local and inserted this line: sleep 60; sudo wvdial & My results are: Sometimes, mostly, it connects and works properly but there are few times like 2 out of 10 that the wvdial does not work and the board initiates without it, which I do not want at all. How can I force the board to initiate properly onl…

Hi, what options do I have to access the GPIO from Python3 as a non-root user?

I started with the latest Armbian_20.11_Rockpi-s_focal_current_5.9.10_minimal and enabled the i2c bus from armbianEnv.txt (rk3308-i2c1) (was already active) because the armbian-config didn't work.

Hi All, I have a strange prob regarding Armbian on my Banana Pi. I have installed vanilla Jessie on my BaPi (1st modell with an SD, not uSD). I have also installed tvheadend, lighttpd and the kernel-nfs-server (beyond the packages already in the image). The BaPi is connected to a switch (no WiFi), and it is headless. When it starts all works as expected. But after some hours logging in via SSH stops working. The sshd itself runs, if I try to login (with pubkey auth) I can see that the connection to the sshd is successfully established, but when the shell should be started it hangs forever: debug1: kex: server->client aes128-ctr hmac-sha2-256 none debug1: kex:…

First off this is not a Rockpro64 it is a Rock64 Ver. 2 which the tags field would not let me enter. A couple years ago when I first started playing with the Rock64, I briefly used armbian as the OS. The flickering video was annoying so later I tried Manjaro which worked fairly well. Recently the (Manjaro/Arch) updates (as well as latest images) completely break the HDMI output. Since the system was rendered usless, I downloaded the latest Armbian Jammy hoping for better results. The image loaded from SD fine, I did updates manually fine, and it rebooted fine. The only problem I experience is that that anoying HDMI video flicker. It's worse when there is any s…

When using the dts editor in armbian-config, a different dts is shown than the one that I defined in extlinux.conf. For my RK3188 based minix neo X7, I decompiled an existing dtb from boot/dtb into a dts file using dtc on my Linux computer. I edited this into a new dts and compiled it into a dtb. I placed this under the name rk3188-x7.dtb in my boot/dtb folder, referenced to it in extlinux.conf and my system booted using this dtb (checked in dmesg). However, when I try to use armbian-config to edit my dtb/dts, it shows a different dts. Any idea how or where to change this so I can easily work on my dts?

In those cases we had the development tools from the vendor or a JTAG probe. What I need to do is I need to customize the loader code to do certain security tasks. My question is, where is this loader sitting? (presumably its in the FLASH), and, is its source part of this distribution? Also, when they ma…

Hello Everyone, Yesterday Domoticz released a new version but requires now GLIBC-2.28. Armbian Bionic has GLIBC-2.27. Users with a Raspberry Pi need to upgrade from Debian Stretch to Buster. But what i know is Armbian for the OrangePi One plus based of Ubuntu 18.04 what is based on Debian Buster. So in my opinion it should be possible to run GLIBC-2.28 instead of GLIBC-2.27. But the question is: how could i fix that?? Thank you for all help!

Hi, I started armbian from SD card on a Libre.Computer Le Potato board. Runs like hell and seems much more robust than the Ubuntu 18.04 img that I used before. But how can I get it on my 32 Gb eMMC (5.)??? E.g. the Ubuntu image of Le Potato has a script called ``lc_distro_transfer``. Is there anything similar for armbian? Note: For the Ubuntu image, one has to mount the eMMC after the booting from the SD card has started; kind of ugly, but otherwise the Potato tries to start from the eMMC. Best, Robert

The eMCC installation almost worked - it boots to graphical desktop, however there's no wifi and bluetooth. I don't have any other way to connect the laptop to internet. I guess the way to fix this is to boot the sd card again because it has internet, then open the encrypted disk manually and chroot to its root, then run some command - but I don't know which one! Please help.

Hello folks, I have been banging my head on this for a few days now and after many searches what should work it is not working :-( I'm setting up an NTP server on a NanoPi Neo3 board (RK3328) running Armbian and I'm stuck on getting the PPS to work. I have a GPS connected issuing the PPS signal on pin 16 but I don't seem to be able to make it visible to the NanoPi. Here are the usual reports to show what OS I'm running. "cat /etc/armbian-release" # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BOARD=nanopineo3 BOARD_NAME="NanoPi Neo 3" BOARDFAMILY=rockchip64 BUILD_REPOSITORY_URL=git@github.com:armbian/build.git BUILD_REPOSITORY_COMMIT=e846ef656…

I wanted to format the output of the command "time" by adding -f, this returns an error, -h and --help are missing too. What are the accepted options ? thanks

Hi, I'm trying to run with a PREEMPT_RT kernel to get a real-time (lowest latency as possible) performance. But in addition to the PREEMPT_RT patch, I want to make sure the system doesn't go to sleep (or using power save modes) to avoid additional wake-ups latencies (that the PREEMPT_RT patch cannot reduce). I've reviewed the AXP209 datasheet and tried to understand if I can somehow disable the system from going to sleep, but I didn't find the answer for that. I do know that register 0x31 can control the entrance to sleep mode if we write '1' to bit-3, but I can't prevent other drivers or applications from doing it. Question: Is th…

Hi, This is my first post on this forum. I'm using armbian for 5 years and I really appreciate the work of all the people who contributed to it. However, I have replaced a Bananapi M1 with Odroid C4, but the kernel doesn't work with usbip anymore. Is it possible to enable usbip somehow? I want to get my usb scanner without Linux drivers to work through Wi-Fi. root@odroidc4:~# usbip WARNING: usbip not found for kernel 5.10.57 You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel: linux-tools-5.10.57-meson64 linux-cloud-tools-5.10.57-meson64 You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date…

Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to put a mainline uboot with ethernet, usb support and lunch the old legacy kernel with it? I need it to be able to boot remotely (tftp) or from usb to make backup, restore without remove sdcard or lunch a recovery mode remotely by lora and a little uC speaking on uart of OPI. With mainline uboot it's easy to lunch openwrt on a ramdisk without mounting sdcard. If i can do the same (mainline uboot) with legacy kernel, i m happy. Thanks

I'm trying to connect to my Orange Pi Lite with TightVNC. I installed tightvncserver on my orange pi lite and ran vncserver :1.

When I press 'Close', the dialog closes but nothing happens. Help please.

Hi, Could anyone please help me to configure CB3 and the subboard RAID? In fact, I own a CB3 and the RAID subboard with two SSD 120GB that I bought at Cubietech three years ago and I have already assembled it. I use the Armbian distribution for Cubietruck and I installed it on a SD Card, but now I would like to install this distribution (Armbian for CB3) on the two SSD from the SD card. If I type the following commands 'hwinfo --block' or 'fdisk -l' or 'lsusb' or 'lsblk -o name' at the prompt (as root), I do not see any SSD except the SD Card (mmcblk0) I also launched 'armbian-config' but nothing appear in the menu about that. I have done some onl…

I am using armbian with Orange Pi Pc. I am using Chromium, Netsurf browser. Both these browsers can display chinese characters without problem. However, w3m is unable to display chinese fonts. Is there any solution for this issue? (I think this is not a w3m issue, as i can display chinese fonts via w3m in puppy linux, ubuntu etc in other machines)

Hello, I've bought a USB Bluetooth adaptor on Amazon and wanted to try it on my Armbian device, an Orange Pi Zero. The installed system is Armbian Focal (Ubuntu). That adaptor seems to have the Realtek rtl8761a chip, according to the error message in syslog. The firmware could not be found. It should be included in the "firmware-realtek" package but that doesn't exist. I couldn't find anything else that provides that firmware. That USB adaptor has an average rating, a second one I've also ordered has a better rating. Both have the same chip inside. Both don't work on a current Windows 10 because the unsigned driver from Realtek (to be downloaded fr…

Armbian build: Armbian_23.8.1_Bananapim2zero_bookworm_current_6.1.47 Hardware: BananaPi M2 Zero I am using pure CLI environment, and when the output is on screen I can't really tell what is the resolution or the refresh, but the monitor is 1080p@60 and it seems to be matching. Although when I run apps that use SDL2 for example; the resolution is changed, and I tried to set a fixed resolution but there seems to be no way to do so in Armbian. I changed the boot settings and those are correctly set with 1080p@60; then I tried to use xrandr (I have X11 installed as I have SDL2 installed too), and it says "can't open display" (I assume …

Hello folks, I have completed my Armbian NTP server based on the wonderful little NanoPi Neo3. However something bothers me a bit, i.e. how much delay or latency is in eth0 (It is a 1Gbs port). By checking the default eth0 settings (ethtool -c eth0) I have the parameters below. In particular rx-usec = 327usec means that when a packet is received, the IRQ to alert the CPU can be delayed up to 327usec. With these settings on the nanopi (NTP server) I get about 1msec delay on the NTP client (Windows PC). By cutting the rx-usecs to 35 usecs I get a delay on the client of about 450usec, so a massive improvement and 30% faster than rpi 4. At the mo…

lima opensource driver for MALI GPU is tolked in many wiki, but there are almost no wiki about how to integrate it, or about the detail usability and how it compare with closed source MALI driver. and @superna9999 says "the ultimate focus is Lima" in https://github.com/superna9999/meson_gx_mali_450/issues/8#issuecomment-462120890 is there any ongoing effort on lima driver for H3?

I am new to Armbian, please bear with me if I am making any wrong steps or assumptions. I installed the armbian bionics for the Asus Tinkerboard. I was expecting the netplan command and the /etc/netplan dir exist, but both are missing. Looks like it's not installed at all. Is there a way to have this working? I am already used to netplan to configure the networks. Thanks - purelight

Hi guys. Igor if you are reading this, I'm Paul H. on the facebook Opi board. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that I think something is breaking with the recent builds. I did a standard download install on an opi plus (eos) and got nodm errors when I went to install the desktop. Then on second run it sent me into a menu to select lightdm or nodm, and I've never seen that menu before. That installed some stuff when I selected nodm, but then failed. Subsequent apt-get installs gave me nodm errors. The desktop is not booting at all. So then I decided to move to a cubietruck and did the same thing, except it boots into the desktop and…

Hello. Can I see build options for u-boot on running image? Do I understand correctly that the answer is point to /usr/lib/u-boot/$BOARD_defconfig ?

Hello. First, I have an LTS board that provides only 3.05 on the 3.3 pins. Is it normal ? Anyway, in case this was the issue, I have built a new voltage regulator, and now supply the DHT22 and pullup resistor with 3.60V My issue is simple: when plugged on normal 1W bus, the DHT22 kills the bus, and makes other devices non working. I have moved all other devices on a new bus, leaving the DHT on a bus I know works fine. Some people mentionned the DHT is not compliant with official 1W libraries, and can not be recognised with normal timings, so, special libs are required. I have removed param_w1_pin=PA06 for the hysical pin 7, and installe…

is there a chance that I could find older version of armbian for my sbc (orange pi pc plus)? in this case I need armbian buster for my sbc

Today I installed the armbian build "system" as suggested by @Igor in some threads (VirtualBox with Ubuntu 16.04 64Bit and a GitHub clone). After generating a armbian 5.38 (with old kernel, bad WiFi and USB unuseable for WiFi or Ethernet) for my OPi i96 I did see that also a entry is for the BananaPi M2 Ultra. I got the little brother - the BPi M2 Berry - so I created also a image for an sd-card At the fist try I did no connect to the board (I know video driver isnt there). Ethernet isnt recognized (no DHCP and no device). The first connect I did get with a USB-WLAN Dongle (RTL8192CUS from edimax) while using a USB-TTL-seria…

I made a custom A20 board of which sch is very close to lime2 for a project (retrostone2) and I can't use USB0 as a classic USB port. The three USB (0 1 2) are all connected to regular USB type A connectors. No OTG used. However I can't get the USB0 to work. USB1 and USB2 works without issue. But USB0 will not recognize keyboard/any peripheral. I think it's probably because of OTG detect pins. I looked at the DTS, but I am having trouble understanding how OTG is emplemented there, how to unactivate it and just activate a classic USB port. Any ideas?

Hello, how do I create a patch to the kernel?

Hi all, I had a need to install the latest version of Postgres possible across my various boards ( Nanopi4 v1 and v2 and a raspberry pi ) the only way I could find to do this, is, compile from source, I came across this howto written for the Ras Pi but it works perfectly for the other boards Here is the link https://blog.rustprooflabs.com/2019/07/postgresql-postgis-install-from-source-raspberry-pi

Hi, all I have a development kit board Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC HDK 8550/SM8550/sm8x50. As understand it's more smartphone. Do we have support from Armbian for this board ?

Hello, this is my first time setting up orange pi + Armbian Linux. I'm a linux newbie. I've been trying to install various version of the Debian 12 Desktop images working.

Hi, I've had orange pi one laying around and also couple of camera modules scrapped over different devices, which only one seems to be the "known" model of ov2640, which is supposed to be supported on linux mainline kernel, but unfortunately no module is compiled into armbian image, so I've had to compiled it solely for the running kernel. After lot of digging into the thing, mostly getting inspiration from this forum and threads about 5640, I've tried crafting overlay, with different results. This is the latest attempt, which created /dev/vide0, but no /dev/media0 is made, and also loading module fails with: [ 5812.695851] ov2640: loading out-of-tree modul…

I see a lot of tutorials online and they all have seems to have different ways of going about making a share and it seems most of them are logged into a user as opposed to root. I'm logged in to root through ssh so that might the the cause of many of my issues I believe. I did a simple apt install samba and it seems to be running fine. I see other tutorials recommending you install "smbclient" and "cifs-utils", is that necessary? Some of the tutorials also say to add user groups and to add settings to the firewall. I'm just using 1 user and don't have any firewalls installed, unless armbian comes with one by default. I think my my service is running fine thoug…

Hi there, I am new to the community, but read it for quite a while. I try to bring my own smart mirror project to life. So far everything runs good and I am pretty impressed with all the efforts you guys put into Armbian. There is one little thing that I can't solve my own (due to limited coding capabilities). The supported resolutions doesn't offer the one supported by my 10,1" Tontec display. It is connected via HDMI and offer a resolution of 1280 x 800px. Where 1280 x 720px work it stretches the content, which makes small copy unreadable. I found several threads where users discussed about this resolution. Would it be possible to make this reso…

Hi All What is current working image for banana pi pro? Can't find any except one in archive (bookworm) which is not perfect.

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.

Hi! just want to share the experience. I'm using Armbian in an environment that cannot access the internet. So, NTP becomes a big issue, and I have to setup my local NTP server using Chrony. Things should be simple, but it just didn't work out. I stuck with this problem for a few weeks until I realized I'm trying to setup Chrony NTP server on a virtual machine. Then, I found this one on stackoverflow. https://serverfault.com/questions/1062023/the-least-bad-settings-for-chrony-as-the-ntp-server-on-a-virtual-machine It suggests how to setup NTP server on virtual machine, but I didn't follow through as I solved my problem by setting up Chrony NTP ser…

Hi, I'm a beginner for orange pi series, so I bought an orange pi pc+ and I tried to use load cell with HX711.

If I need to explain in more detail, I've checked the HX711 libraries to use reading functions of gpios. Is there anybode help me. I want to use Orange Pi in my bachelor thesis because it is cheaper than Raspberry Pi so I really need help.

Yes, I managed to do this. Luckily I managed to re-enable the GDM3 graphical console on-start-up by using the debug serial port and then using the GUI through the TV to put the tick back to enable networking. Yep, very much a noob mistake. So, the question is when networking is disabled so eth0 and wlan0 disappear, leaving only lo, how do I get eth0 and wlan0 back just using the command line? I can't easily find how to do this. I've looked, I've searched and now .... help! :-) (I do also have the ability to put the MicroSD card into my laptop, so maybe it would be simpler to do that and change some configuration files to re-enable networking?) …

Hello. I've searched here, the Libre computer forums, even tried "cheating" with asking chatgpt. Using a "Le Potato" AML-S905X-CC with Armbian Jammy 22.04.2 LTS.
