I have a carrier board from codico: https://www.codico.com/en/carrier-board-h-home-control-evb-for-red-yellow-beet-modul I've followed the pdf file from the above link to set up a Rasperry Pi and it all works fine. However, when swapping for my NanoPi Neo Core, even though the drivers load correctly, and I see SPI comms going back and forth on the oscilloscope, I am not connected to the internet. This is what ifconfig returns: What could be the difference between rpi and this board that this happens? Any guidance on how to resolve it would be deeply appreciated!

Hi Sorry for my poor english... My board is a Rpi+ 2E connected to a Xoro 2442 TV by HDMI. I have installed RetrOrangePi. My problem is : - If I do h3disp -m 1080p60 my image is cropped, I think there are no overscan and I can't configure overscan on my TV ... - If i do : h3disp -m 1080p60 -d I know this is where we have a DVI adapter, but... that's strange : sometimes ... my tv displays (on bottom) : "HDMI 1080p@60", sound is ok, but my image is green. sometimes, my TV displays (on bottom) "HDMI 1920x1080@60" my image is ok (not cropped) but I have no sound ... It's random at …

Anyone have success with GStreamer and Xenial Desktop? Once upon a time (mid 2015) gstreamer used to work like this: gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=vid.mp4 ! qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink Time has passed and the many parts that make up GStreamer (libva libcedrus vdpau-sunxi libvdpau gstreamer and gstreamer-vaapi) have evolved. I revisited this because I have recently stumbled upon an invocation that let's me play videos with hardware acceleration in gstreamer. I'm trying to stream h264 vid from my rpi-zero's camera to be saved/played/restreamed from my BPi ( i have both BananaPi and OrangePi+2e). This wor…

Hey. I have a beer-brewing machine which has software running on an olimex A13-SOM board, that has a capacitive touch panel attached to it. The company (Brewie) did'nt survive, but I really like the machine, and the potential it has. The board is running a very slimmed down linux system, so it's a bit difficult to sniff stuff out, and expand on it - so I want to install a more recent linux system on it, and try making new software for it as a shared project with other people using this machine. I managed to make a functional image using github.com/olimex/build I'm building it using: ./compile.sh BRANCH=next BOARD=olimex-som-a13 KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_C…

Does armbian support h.265 video codec? It seems that mpv player can reproduce only audio... Should we install any codec? thanks in advance

Hi , how a start use armbian with banana pi zero h2+ ? For frist i need compile kernel ? Have one article for help with more information ? I need use xfce with rdp desktop, is possible use ? Thanks all help - brasil - pt-br PS : this board : http://www.banana-pi.org/bpi-zero.html

Hi, I'm using H2+ at the moment with Ubuntu Server. But I can switch to Armbian if that will solve the issues. The board is powered from battery. Power consumption is essential. I totally don't need GPU and USB. Any idea how I can disable them? Thanks

Hello there, I have an Orange Pi Zero running Armbian 22.02.0-trunk.0003 Bullseye with Linux 5.10.89-sunxi. I have followed this thread about H3 and SPI, but it does not work for me.

Hello, I am talking strictly about GPIO's value and mode at reset. Under "sudo gpio readall" of H3 core (OPI Lite) I can see that ALL GPIO pins are 0V with different alternative mode functions. Under H3 core (OPI Lite) datasheet 1.2 says that value PC3 and PC4 GPIOs are pulled up? This are in contradiction! Did anyone measured the H3 core GPIOs value? Does H3 core has any pin of pulled-up mode during the reset time of the controller? Please help.

I have two nano Pi Neo Core boards and one Nano Pi Neo Core 2 Board. On all boards there is a glitch. When I play the audio file at the beginning and at the end, I hear a click. I think it's because of the DAC's on / off switch. Also, at the beginning of playback, the initial sound is lost for about one second. I did echo -1 > /sys/devices/platform/soc/1c22c00.codec/cdc/pmdown_time The initial and final pulses (clicks) disappeared. But there are still small impulses at the beginning and at the end of the playback. There are also small pulses between file playback. For example: aplay file1.wav file2.wav DAPM? How disable it? …

Hi, I want turn off lan lights like I can do on Banana Pi, see bpi_ledset link below: https://github.com/n1tehawk/bpi_ledset I have couple of these boards turned on and it is like live in Las Vegas when it is night. And second reason why I do not need these lights is I see network activity on switch, I do not need to see duplicity information on board and switch together. Is is possible to turn lan leds on Orange Pi boards?

Which is fastest and how much faster? The h3 or a64? Thank you.

Hi, Need to interface a multichannel codec to an OPiPC, having 8 channels out and 6 channels in. So trying to find any example of an overlay for H3 with TDM usage on simple-audio-card giving more than 2 channels in/out. Seen that the latest i2s driver for H3 (sun2i-i2s.c) does support TDM (DSP_A/DSP_B) but did not found any relevant overlay for H3 so far. Any help is appreciated. Christos

Thanks to all the good contribution. I was able to follow the instructions by @janng0 and @xeniter and got the fuses burned. I was able to write TOC0 to SPL with the jemk script and put the SPL to my SD card and it is booting! But... The Bootprocess hangs after "Found device /dev/ttyS0" (i am using a dietpi image). I was using sunxi-spl.bin from git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git after checking out the same version of u-boot as in my dietpi image (2020.10) and compiling it leaving default configs in menuconfig. do I need to enable more features during u-boot compilation? Where did you get your sunxi-spl.bin get from?

Hi: I am new to Armbian Buster. I understand the legacy h3consumption is gone now. I wonder if I can do something similar under Armbian Buster like: 1. only allow 1 or 2 core 2. lower ram frequency 3. disable hdmi

Hi All. Are there any rules to setting the CPU frequency and DRAM frequency using this tool? Eg: can you set the CPU Frequency to 827mHz (just a weird number) or are there specific multiples that are needed? Are there any combinations to avoid or that are best suited together? Thanks. J.

I added a script lurking around on my disk for some time to Armbian's repo to be hopefully included into future Armbian releases when testing looks good: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/scripts/h3consumption Since it's just a script you can include it in your running Armbian installation simply by downloading it from Github -- try it this way please: sudo -s wget -q -O /usr/local/bin/h3consumption "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorpecovnik/lib/master/scripts/h3consumption" chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/h3consumption h3consumption -H h3consumption -p The last 2 calls will show the verbose help text along with current settings. This might …

before I used the -f option with h3disp, the framebuffer would always take the same size as the display resolution I'm setting. However, since I used the -f option once, if I now use h3disp without the -f option, the framebuffer size remains locked to what I had set before, even if the display resolution changes as requested. How can I set it back so that the framebuffer always takes the proper size when I use h3disp even without the -f option?

Is a h5 cpu as fast as a h6? Is a h6 computer fast enough to act as a notebook? Thank you.

After upgrading to Armbian 26.2, I noticed that if I mounted a network drive (samba, cifs) and even accessed it, and then tried to unmount it (sudo umount -t cifs ...), the system would freeze. Upgrading from Debian 12 (bookworm) to Debian 13 (trixie) didn't help. I did a rollback to Armbian 25.x via backup, and this problem doesn't exist there.

Hi team! This may be the stupidest question ever… I am a long time Debian user. I have a project in mind where I plan to setup a dual node HA Haproxy balancer. This is pretty straightforward in Debian but I am wondering, is HAproxy even available for armbian?. I do not plan to have a big throughput for these HAproxy nodes, is for a homelab and more for fun than for production purposes… The idea is to use the cheapest dual gigabit board available, that’s why I will probably go for nanopi (which supports armbian). English is not my first language so sorry in advance for messed up wording/expressions/whatever. …

Hello all, I am developing a video streaming device that streams video to youtube. For this, I am using NanoPi NEO Core2 as an SBC. It runs on "Base on UbuntuCore, Kernel: Linux-4.14" os version as mentioned on http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_NEO_Core2 Along with the SBC, I am using its shield to use peripheral ports like USB, ethernet, and debugging port. For capturing video, I am using a Logitech c920 webcam. Here I am facing two issues : 1. Hardware Issue When I connect Logitech C920 camera with NanoPi Neo Core2 via mini shield, it freezes. I am unable to understand whether it is due to the power issue, or is it due …

I'm looking for the ability to extract coarse motion estimation from the h.264 encoder. These vectors are calculated as part of the compression algorthm and should be done on the hardware in real time - just a matter of extracting them. This extraction is done on the Raspberry Pi with "raspivid -x output". It is also exposed in picamera. Does anyone know if there is a similar capability to extract the motion vectors? If not, how one might go about doing this in python/c++? thanks, philip

I'm running the latest 5.10.21-sunxi kernel. I figured out how to use the PWM pin with the help of this post. I have an LED connected to the PWM pin and when I run for example: sudo sh -c "echo 250 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/duty_cycle" the LED updates instantly. But when I try to fade the LED with a script, the LED always takes 6 seconds to update. This is the script: #!/bin/bash #Export PWM channel for user control. sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export" #Select the period of PWM signal. Value is in nanoseconds. sh -c "echo 500 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/period" #Change the polarity of the PWM signal. #The …

ix.io/48Zd I've simply installed Armbian 22.05 Jammy Kernel 5.15.y, Size: 307Mb, Updated: Jul 2, 2022 on my aforementioned subject title / tagged OrangePiPCPlus. I can't seem to get hassio to install with armbian-config and then with Software > Softy it doesn't seem like the image for homeassistant io gets pulled, because when I check with docker images list or docker ps I don't get anything returned. Plus the checkbox isn't checked in Soft for hassio when I go back. What could I be doing wrong here? I did install Docker first, anyone have any tips?

Minor tweak. I don't have gethostname() (Actually I think that's a C function, not an executable.) Anyway my Rock64 didn't show up my wifi network by name. In /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf I changed: #send host-name = gethostname(); send host-name = $HOSTNAME; Now it works. And $HOSTNAME is just whatever's in /etc/hostname so you may need to change it if you've got 2 or more machines of the same kind. I mostly lug around a cell phone and I can ftp or ssh to rock64 from anywhere in the house.

Hello, I have idea to make a product (based on SBC - Small Board Computer) and sell it on the market, but after searching many forums, websites, youtubes etc I am sure only for one: All what can work on that SBCs stable (I mean stable for production use, for customer product) is... lighting a LED connected to pins... That's all. Anything else could work, but also could not work. Drivers coud be found, but you can not be sure they will work (most of them are in version zero point...). Units could be connected, but it doesn't mean they will work when connected... Crazy. Let me explain more. My project needs a SBC with working camera and working communication (Bluetooth or …

Previously I just edited /etc/network/interfaces (or added file to interfaces.d), but Ubuntu 18.04 uses Netplan now.

Hi Guys, I'm new on Armbian but not on Linux in general. I was pleased to see an up-to-date armbian release for my nanopi-r4s with a kernel greater than 6.x ! 🤗 For my first day, it's pretty good and I can find most of the things I was looking for (even ripgrep). But, I have a look at the services and I've found that haveged is still set. For what I know, since 5.18 version, "Linus" changed his mind for entropy (see https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-5.18-RNG). You can have a look at /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail which is always set to 256 now. Thanks again and best regards !

Hi, There is a lot of cheap 10.1 inches lcd on market, often have a resolution of 1280 x 800. I connected this lcd with h3disp using the mode of 1280 x 720 (720i). Everything works, but aspect ratio is wrong. (800->720) Is there a fast and simply possibility to set 1280x800 resolution in Armbian?

Hey guys, I see the HDMI audio is not supported in the status matrix. Do you know what is missing exactly? I read it predepends on DRM driver, do you know which part is missing?

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…

Hi, I am using 4 x 2.5 inch disks in the standard Helios4 enclosure. Instead of Laser cutting the smaller enclosure I created a simple 3D printable bracket for it which I'd like to share.

Hi, I have an issue that is irritating me, and I'm not sure what to do about it. So on the Helios64 page (I am also using it with the Kobol enclosure), they give you a simple command like this to use: picocom -b 1500000 /dev/ttyUSB0 This is so you can access a serial TTY without an Internet connection. My problem is that the "window size" is set back to 80x24 characters. I'm not sure why this happens. I've also noticed that it somehow sets "TERM=linux" instead of what I have in my host PC's "$TERM" which is "xterm-256color" Is this by design, or is there something strange going on that I don't understand…

Ok folks... This very setup was fixed and made working at my job. I tested from the new M$ Terminal while connected to the LAN of my office, extremely satisfied I returned to home and when I connected the HC4 to my router, the "systemd smbd.service" didn't work again (event though at my workplace I rebooted for testing purpose the board several time and Samba had been woking all the time). The Office LAN is most likely managed by a Win Server and is on 192.160.0.X, at home I am connected to a Comcast Cable Router on 10.0.0.X... This the error I get from systemd: × smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/sy…

Hi all. I am new to Arm and Linux in general. Got me a Raspberry pi5 several days ago and was going trough different OS systems so i can settle on one final choice. Landed in the Armbian community and tested the Armbian Bookworn / Gnome distro and was amazed how smooth and good looking this is. The only problem i have is the lack of preinstalled Widevine support. I know (and also tested) that Raspberry OS does have DRM playback support trough Widevine. So it works with the latest 64bit Arm Linux Kernel, right ? So i even went and extracted the Widevine folder form the RpOS system.... Now, several days after i am clueless on how to install Widevine and make the Chcromi…

I think my level of proficiency with armbian has earned me an "ignore" status here :-) I am trying to configure the serial port on a Banana Pi M2 Zero. I have done it a Raspberry PI and confirmed that all works well. Can anyone help me with he following questions? How do I enable the UART for GPIO 14 & 15 (Pins 8, 10)? How do disable serial console mode (had to do this in raspbian)? How do I disable RTS and CTS using parameters? I will donate $20 as soon as a UART connection is made.

Hello again all, Following the success of my last need to post here I changed my Odroid N2+ Plex server over to Armbian (making two Armbian-running Odroids in the house). The N2+ is running Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) with Linux 5.9.6-meson64 I have had a few occasions where I have encountered a system-wide freeze. Today's lasted over an hour, whilst others have unfrozen after ~20-30 minutes. Today the machine was ping-able but attempts to ssh in were unsuccessful though there was no timeout and no error messages when trying. Prior to that I was listening to some music in which the playback was faltering, leaving silence for several seconds duration b…

I'm a newbie to the NanoPi M4 and haven't been able to find helpful material regarding my doubts Any help would be appreciated 1. How do I configure the GPIO pins to function as a UART4 TX and RX pins? 2. The level signals of UART4 are of 3V but the supply to the board is 5V. All standard buck converters are of 5V to 3.3V so how would I go about that?

I have an Odroid-C1+ running some version of Armbian (I forget the details, exactly) - it's been happily working for a while, but recently that board went dead. I finally got a serial console on it, and captured the output below. Pretty clearly, something is wrong, and it being a cheap flash card, I bet the card itself is going bad. My real question: does anyone have a good suggestion how I can recover anything there is to recover from the SD card before setting up a new one? It's been long enough since I set up this device that I'd prefer not to start from scratch if I can avoid it. I'm not much of a Linux guy (usually NetBSD/MacOS), but I do have a U…

Hi everyone, I have to make a custom kernel for a RK3568 based device with kernel 4.19.232. Currently running Ubuntu 20.04LTS. I followed this guide https://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Rockchip_Kernel and I tried compiling 4.19 from rockchip source code and made a boot.img with the rk3568-evb1-ddr4-v10.dtb. The device boots but HDMI isn't working correctly, LVDS appears detected but does not show anything and one USB stopped working. Since I am new to all these things, does anyone know of any guides to compile kernels for rockchip ? I am trying to replace the boot.img from the original FW because kernel is inaccessible and iptables is not wor…

I am a newbie in Orange pi or similar Boards. I have only some experience with arduino and similar. On my Windows 7 pc are all my music stored. I want to stream the played music to my local wlan. And receive/play the stream with a OPi. What do i need to stream the played music from Windows? What is the best choice of Orange pi for this? Do i need only one OPi or two (one for send and one to receive)? Thank you for help.

I have a allwinner A64 tablet, with Android 8, magisk root and bootloader unlocked. I need help to install or run Linux on it, but I have no idea how to get started or if it's even possible to do that.

Hi, I just got the Banana Pi M2 zero board and am wondering if the analog sound output pins are accessible so I can connect headphone / speaker to it? thanks!

Hello, I would like to ask your help about a orange pi choice. i am a kindergarden teacher and I need a computer for my classroom, in order to show the kids videos, images, access internet for information and if it is possible, play .swf games. We had a very old desktop that is now dead, but the mouse, keyboard, old (not flat) vga monitor work ok. Do you think if I buy an orange pi pc (or an other board) and hdmi to vga adaptor and use armbian , I will be ok? No need to say that lack of money is the major issue......

Hi! I've been reading a lot about iptables in last few days but I can't get my head around the configuration that I need. I'm still learning and this is beyond my scope. I've set the Rock64 as an access point connected to a vpn server. I need to access any devices that are connected to my main router in 192.168.10.1. My wlan access point is in 172.24.1.1. eth0 and wlan0 are always tunnelled through tun0 and it must stay that way. Connected from wlan0 I can ping 192.168.10.176 (eth0) but not 192.168.10.1 (Internet router) or anything else outside wlan0 subnet. My aim is to access smb servers, nfs servers and ssh to any ip in this subnet 192.16…

I am trying to install PiKVM on the latest bookwork on my OrangePi3. The install requires python3 zstandard. When I run: "apt install python3-zstandard" I get the following error: "python3-zstandard : Depends: libzstd1 (< 1.5.5~) but 1.5.5+dfsg2-2 is to be installed" Is there a way around this?

a while back I created my own Armbian environment for the Orange PI Pc that uses Xstart to run a custom .exe I created. the Program uses Uart to communicate with an external Pic chip. the program has been running well and have not had any problems with it. I created a .img of the environment and have been disabusing copies. however recently ( about 2 months after ) I have been told that some of them have been crashing and digging into it I noticed is was Uart communication failing. A temporary solution has been replacing the SD card with a new one but this does not fix the issue of this happening in the first place. I have attached the Uboot of both the failing program an…

Hello, It's been more than two days working to solution. I have gone deep into the documentation and forum posts before asking this. Much of the information in this subforum is c 2017, and relates to /etc/init.d locations which are now obsolete, etc. Definitive assistance is much appreciated! I'm building clean Armbian-based images, for a number of unsupported desktop configurations on unsupported boards. These have been fantastically functional, I I'd like to make these available as community-supported releases. I do not expect such a hybrid configuration, despite using an Armbian kernel package, and an Armbian Focal base filesystem image, to ever be suppor…

Hi all, I have a Allwinner box (A31s, 1G memory, 8G eMMC). Armbian worked very well when I booted it from SDCard. But after I installed Armbian to its eMMC by following the guide, my box could not boot again from either eMMC or SDCard.

Hi all, In armbian-config I have freeze on firmware. I can see that armbian-firmware-full is kept back. Still my kernel got updated. Kind of an issue as I use zfs (backports) on my omv install and I need to reinstall them to get the module recreated... Now I have a few questions: Is it because I have only armbian-firmware-full held back, and apt works in my case maybe with armbian-firmware? (Or do I misinterpret the list that says upgradable on the full) Or do I have to hold the specific versioned packages and will the armbian-firmware (meta?) package hold not work on the ones I have installed and get upgraded nonetheless? Tia

I am using ARMBIAN Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 4.6.3-cubox on SolidRun HummingBoard-i2eX Dual SoC i.MX6 Dual Single Board Computer. I have an USB 3.0 controller attached to the board (via a PCI slot). As far as I know, xhci_hcd has to be compiled for the controller to function properly. In the default installation, xhci_hcd is disabled ( /boot/config-4.6.3-cubox says: "# CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD is not set"). Do I have to setup a complete build environment as descried here http://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ or I can just somehow compile the module on the board itself? Where exactly do I get the sources from? Thanks
