Hi Is there Armbian for Banana pi p2 zero?

Hello, I would like to get RT Kernel, but i am not able to do it. I have downloaded the patch file: patch-5.4.19-rt11.patch And I copy this file in the following folder: build/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-current Now, I create the following file: build/userpatches/lib.config And i add this sentence: KERNELBRANCH='tag:v5.4.19' and I run compile.sh But it doesn't work. I think there are 2 different errors: one for compiling for an specific kernel version, and the other one for loading the RT patch file. Error 1: fatal: Couldn't find remote ref tags/v5.4.19 error: pathspec 'F…

I am trying to investigate why borg backups, specifically when doing borg check, are taking over twice as long on armbian buster + OMV5, compared to armbian stretch + OMV4. The borg server is an Odroid HC2, and borg check runs on the server (HC2) and is single threaded. Not sure where to even start, but one thing that caught my attention is that the borg process will be running at 100% CPU at various times (as expected), but the CPU frequency at those same times was reported at 200-300 MHz when observed using htop. Is this normal? Unfortunately I don't know what frequency was normal in the same circumstances with armbian stretch + OMV4. Benchmarks …

Hi all , I am trying to work with GPIO , on Orange Pi zero latest kernel image (linux-sunxi-5.10.60). In old kernel linux-3.4.114 there used to be gpio_lib.h,gpio_lib.c files which are for this purpose as I know. Could someone help me find similar library in latest kernel sources. thanks

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?

I have an orangepi pc and am trying to use a 3.5 inch TFT-LCD using fbtft. I was told to use armbian 20.05.4_Orangepipc_focal_current_5.4.45 in this case. I am trying to find version 5.4.45. But it hasn't worked out yet. The oldest in the archive is version 5.10. May I know how to find the 5.4.45 version? Please tell us

Hi, I am using my armbian board to create an access point. I have noticed that WPS is always active by default and users are, especially on WIndows, prompted to enter the WPS PIn in order to connect to the WIFI instead of the pass phrase. I have checked wpa_supplicant.conf which looks like is controlled by dbus <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <policy user="root"> <allow own="fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1"/> <allow send_destination="fi.w1.wpa_su…

So I'm trying to connect with a UART cable from my PC to the board (OPI3LTS). Here's what I did so far: In desperation, I double checked every connection, to no avail. My devices are powered separately, so only the RX and TX cable are connected, and they are crossed as they should. Set up permissions: sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0 Add user to dialout: sudo adduser <user> dialout Install minicom: Set up minicom with the correct address: /dev/ttyUSB0 Set up the correct baud rate (115200 in this case) Turn off flow control Tried connecting via "screen", minicom and putty, all of them just show me…

Hi guys! I've a project with raspberry pi B+ and a usb modem for communication with server. Is a unattended system but I've many problems with communication cuts and memory card corrupted. Communications is not important issue, because isn't a real time system, and I manage the cuts with own scripts. In the other hand, the memory card corruption is a damn headache. I think that problem is caused by the model B+ because I've other similar project with model A+ and I haven't this problem. The reason for my question is that I'm looking for alternatives to the raspberry pi B+. I tested Orange Pi 2G-IOT, but is very unestable and I discard it. What borad…

There is a recent Etcher.io bug in Linux https://github.com/resin-io/etcher/issues/1955 causing errors writing images. While we're hoping to release Etcher 1.3.1 soon, but as a temporary workaround you can do to manually downgrade to 1.2.1 : sudo apt-get remove etcher-electron sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install etcher-electron

Hello, I want to share my printer Xerox Workcenter 6015B using my Orange Pi Zero. My Cups configuration seems to be ok. I am using this driver http://foo2hbpl.rkkda.com/ on other computers for long time and it works fine.

Hi, For the longest time, I've had this issue, but it never really bothered me much. All git updates can be done through git:// and the source lists that I require are still on HTTPS. Since the apt.armbian moved to HTTPS I've been experiencing the following apt-get update error: Reading package lists... Done E: Method https has died unexpectedly! E: Sub-process https received a segmentation fault. E: Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/https did not start correctly I'm currently on ARMBIAN 5.60 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.70-sunxi and would love to get HTTPS working again over apt. My system details here: http://ix.io/…

Hello In raspberry pi there is an option to add a boot splash screen, looking in this forum I havent found and instructions or if it is even possible. I am not interested with u-boot splash screen but when the Linux start booting. I am using 3.5" SPI LCD and I do see the boot logs when the Linux is loading. So my question is if there is any guide of how to do that boot splash screen in Armbian or there is no way to do that?

Hello Is it possible that orangepi installs the operating system like a pc in bios? My goal is to install all operating systems in the normal way by creating a bios or UEFI for orangepi. Is it possible?

Hi, I have Rock64 with fresh armbian installed: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) 4.4.192-rockchip64 It was installed 2 days ago , first thing I did was "apt-get update" and then "upgrade" which upgraded 3 packages at most.

I got it working on the older jessie images, but now I have the armbian buster image. I've searched but can't find anyway to make it work. The armbian page shows it as tested hardware, but it still doesn't work out of the box it seems. Is there a working guide or are these just not working?

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 have checked that the GPIO Interruptions are very slow. If i receive a wave in a GPIO with IRQ edge enable, for a frequency of 100Hz, all IRQs detected are right (100 interruptions received) However if i increase the frequency of the wave up to 500Hz, i can't detect all the IRQs received, (50 interruptions received more or less) Well, i think maybe, the solution is to change the following kernel parameter: CONFIG_HZ=1000 instead CONFIG_HZ=250 (default) What do you think ?? Is there other solution?? Thanks a lot in advance

Hi forum members, on my interactive bash I can use the armbian variables like BOARD , BOARD_NAME or BOARDFAMILY, but these variables ard not seen when I try to use them in a bash script. Any hints ?

This is a minor issue, but I'm hoping to get it solved as I've enjoyed the welcome screen for so long. For whatever reason after running my installation script which I've been using for years, the welcome screen changes when logging in over ssh. This happened some months ago. Any ideas on how or where I should look?

Hello everyone! I recently heard about running x86_64 programs on ARM using box64, and decided to give it a try. I get the impression that most people are just using it for games but I would like to use it to run Quartus (a program to work with Intel FPGAs). The issue I see is getting the USB drivers to work. Quartus includes drivers for several programming cables (I am only interested in the USB blaster cable), and as far as I know there are no drives available that run on ARM. Is there any hope at all of getting the x86 drivers to work on ARM? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I am trying to bring up a new board that uses both Allwinner H616 emacs, the 1Gbps (emac0) and the 10/100Mbps w/internal phy (emac1). I brought in all patches found about that, but it looks like the emac1 does not work properly. It does not reset, this is what I found in the dmesg: [ 2.228695] dwmac-sun8i 5030000.ethernet: EMAC reset timeout As per the datasheet, the reg EMAC_BASIC_CTL1's LSB (SOFT_RST bit) is a bit that must set to 1 to reset, then automatically resets to 0 when the emac has finished the reset procedure. In my case, it remains 1 causing the kernel to unload emac1 driver. Anyone…

Hi! I have a Banana Pi Pro running last Armbian v5.20 via SD card. There is 2 usb HD 2TB connected.I create a software RAID1 /dev/md0 with the 2 usb hd dev/sda1 & dev/sdb1 mounted as /mnt/md0. Up to now all is working fine. My goal, put the root on that raid1. The script nand-sata-install does not reconize 'md' device, only 'sd' device so i did a very litte modification to the script to reconize 'md'. The script run fine and it transfert all from the SD card to the 'md' (raid) but after the reboot,,,,, nothing, the system wont start. I am not a linux expert but i think that the problem is that the raid must be start from /boot (still on SD card) before the system …

Hello experts I'm a newbie and use my ofroid as server (mysql, iobroker, go2rtc) This need a lot of ram. So i try to reduce all service which i don't need. I disabled the gui (desktop) and ise only ssh. I use zram to be faster. Is there any other service which i can deactivate?

Suddenly after updating via armbian-config I lost ssh access and found the port closed. I rewrote the latest armbian version, stuck the sd card in, connected to ethernet cable via router and started up.

Not responding to ping at all. I am still new to this topic. Please help and sorry if the translator translates crookedly.

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 …

Hi guys, I am tying to get HW video acceleration to work without a full desktop environment. Right now, I am able to get videos to start to play with startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=x11 video.mkv. However, the video seems to be software decoded. I have tried startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=vdpau video.mkv but mpv failed to start with an error message "[vo/vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.Video: no videoA0".

Hi all, i just stumbled upon the Bana Pi M4 Zero while searching for an pi zero 2w alternative that features at least 5ghz network support. My use case is explained quickly, I want to use g_mass_storage to create an smart usb stick device.

Is g_mass_storage supported by default or would I have to compile my own kernel/image?

Hi basically i am switching from Raspberry pi to orangepi PC. Managed to find armbian which looks way better than raspberry gui! Now my problem is i used raspi-config to set login after POST in CLI in Rpi but in armbian we dont have this config thing and I want to make the system login at CLI then I could either continue to use CLI or go into gui mode by typing startx. Any ideas for this? I have tried systemctl enable multi-user.target but it seems nothing change and I also tried to find the directory of grub but there is none at armbian. Many thanks, Gabriel

After some fiddling around, I decided to check /proc/net/dev and found out that the WLAN card was linked to wlan1 instead of wlan0 After changing both the interface and the hostapd.conf I still can't seem to get hostapd to working with the error: Failed to initialize interface Currently I'm using the driver from https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixesand my hostapd.conf file is attached. Is there any problem with my hostapd.conf or is the device used somewhere else? Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

Hello, i am very new to using armbain. I picked up an orange pi lite and loaded armbain debain jessie using etcher on a 16gb card. when i install it to the orange pi lite and power it on it asks me for a user name and password. i did as instructed using rot and 1234. then i added my name and made a new password as instructed. it then acts like its booting and says orange pi lite on the screen but wont boot the GUI desktop as it describes. it displays the name and some of the current states of the board (temp ect) but then sits at a command prompt waiting for input. i can type help and it will give me a list of commands that work for it but none indicate they will boot the…

Does it make sense? I would like to use the mainline armbian kernel on a custom minimal Buildroot image to use on a orange pi zero. Buildroot because of its lightness and armbian because it has Opi audio drivers and codec that doesn't seem to be included in Buildroot default kernel. If this is possible, could you help me with the configuration of Buildroot to use armbian as kernel?

hi: I have old allwinner H2/H3 boards which work very stable with armbian jessie. although I can still get debian jessie packages, I found armbian jessie packages are gone from apt.armbian.com. is there any place I can sync these armbian jessie packages? thanks a lot for your help!!

Hi there, I have just do a fresh install of armbian (Armbian_20.02.5_Odroidn2_buster_legacy_4.9.216) on odroid n2 and installed omv 5 via armbian softy tool.

Hi, I'm compiling a kernel (using 5.8.16-sunxi) for an H3 board that has the RTL8189es chip onboard. But the make fails due to a missing include file. It turns out that the makefile for this driver expects a "src" variable to be loaded with the path for the makefile. But I can't find any defining reference to this variable or any mention in the make documentation that it is an internal function. I've managed to fix this by setting src to srctree and the sub-path for this driver. But this seems very clumsy to me. Can somebody explain how "src" is meant to be loaded and why it's not happening for me ? Thanks, Steven

Hi I need add custom hdmi timings for LCD Waveshare 5.5" AMOLED. LCD works fine on RPI 4. On Armbian I see 1/3 screen only. Custom timings for RPI is: hdmi_timings=1080 1 26 4 50 1920 1 8 2 6 0 0 0 60 0 135580000 3 How to set it in Armbian image? In /boot/armbianEnv.txt or /boot/boot.scr or with xrandr ?

Does anybody have the proven experiance that a NanoPi Neo-LTS is a drop-in replacement (no SW changes) for a NanoPi Neo? And is a NanoPi Neo2 a drop-in replacement for Neo and/or Neo-LTS? From the specs I'd assume it works. Both above scenarios. But maybe there is anybody who really did such a HW-exchange...

hello armbian developers recently i have tried to built my own kernel from linus' kernel tree(5.18.1). the build config i use cames from armbian 22.05 bullseye(5.15.43-sunxi) /boot/config-5.15.43-sunxi ,without any changes. the kernel was ok to boot,so i plan to add xr819 support for it，but after days of work，it seems not as easy as i thought. the driver ive tried is from here(https://github.com/karabek/xradio)，but it cant detect chip's hardware revision: [ 13.036884] xradio: XR819 device discovered [ 13.038054] xradio_wlan mmc1:0001:1: no mac address provided, using random [ 13.064445] xradio ERR: FWIO: Unknown hardware: -1.

So basically if I wish to backup the sd card after installing the Armbian OS, how would I do that? In raspbian we put the image to sd card using win32diskimager. To backup the sd card we can just read the data back to computer and name the img file. How can we do that in armbian at least the easy way? Why we can view raspbian image's folder from window? What I understand is linux use ext4 file format which window cannot recognise as with armbian sd card? Many Many thanks!!

Hi, I'm new at this forum and I'm a little more than a newbie about linux for embedded systems. I need quickly to start an application on login of armbian, after the autologin of the user(no root). I don't know how to do. I did it in the past on archlinux using getty on tty1, but on armbian it not work. I put my application on /home/user/.profile. The system start, then I connect with ssh and my application start. It seems start as no logged user. Maybe is my board(nanopi neo) that has not output video and I can see output only with ssh or serial cable. Any advice ? Thanks a lot in advance

Is there a way to script downloading the Linux headers like armbian-config Headers?

I am running a Plex Media Server on a headless Orange Pi PC Plus with Armbian Ubuntu server. So far I’ve been able to configure fstab on the server to mount the NAS at boot. That seems to work fine. However, the problem I have is when I have a power failure and everthing reboots at the same time, the server boots before my NAS. I then have to ssh in and run “sudo mount -a”. Is there a way to have the server detect and mount the NAS whenever it’s available to the network?

I want to load my custom service to show orangepi zero as three devices on the host PC. But as the UDC ( /sys/class/udc/musb-hdrc.1.auto) is being used by another service which is probably the builtin service using udc to show orangepi as: Bus 001 Device 048: ID 0525:a4a7 Netchip Technology, Inc. Linux-USB Serial Gadget (CDC ACM mode) I want to disable that service so that my custom service can use the UDC for the required purpose. This is the command: echo "$(ls /sys/class/udc/)" > UDC and this is the error: echo: write error: Device or resource busy "ls /sys/class/udc" has the file musb-hdrc.1.auto an…

Hello. I've installed the newest Armbian Bionic Ubuntu with the Desktop on my Cubietruck. In the past i had Debian Wheezy running on it with working remote desktop connection over Windows 10 (sesman-xvnc). Now with the new Ubuntu i cant connect anymore to my Cubietruck. If i open the Remote Desktop Tool on Windows 10 i get a connection to my Cubietruck and i can see the login Screen. But there is no more an option (sesman-xvnc). I can only see (xvnc). If i connect through this option i can login to my cubietruck. If login is successful i see only an empty desktop without elements and without a background-image. How can i solve this issue? I have installed…

This is likely a stupid question but I couldn't find anything about it. I have a NanoPi Neo2 v1.1 1GB where I flashed nanopi-neo2_sd_friendlycore-xenial_4.14_arm64.

I have a couple NanoPi (Neo, Neo 3, R2S, Neo 2 Black) devices and recently I wanted to tinker with trying to get them to be an IP KVM. The hang-up I hit is that I can't get g_hid to work. I am in way over my head but usually my google-fu gets me through. I can't find what I am looking for and it seems that most of the posts on the forum were from 2017 when there was an issue with the kernel that was supposed to be resolved. I am running Armbian 20.08.7 Bionic with Linux 5.8.13-sunxi on a NanoPi Neo (H3) but the error is on all of the devices. Anyway, the error I am getting is: root@nanopineo:~# modprobe g_hid modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'g_hid': No…

Hello, I got recently an Odroid HC2 and installed Armbian (Buster 5.4.61) on it, OMV5 and I fixed IP. I configured it on the cable that I use on my desktop and connected my desktop on wifi. When I finished the configuration, I put HC2 closer to router on another cable and connect my desktop on the cable that HC2 was connected. If I try to connect to SBC through Putty on the desktop with it connected on cable and wifi, I connect normally. But if I disconnect of wifi, I can't connect to SBC, even on Putty or browser. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hi I've been looking for a live dist for my Orange Pi Plus2, but there really doesn't seem to be one. I installed Armbian with all software I need to a microsd and figured it must be possible to make the whole system read-only somehow. Would someone care to explain how this can be done?

I'm trying to run NixOS on my NanoPC-T4, and it's having trouble detecting the NVMe drive connected to the M.2 port. I've tried running Armbian, specifically Armbian_21.02.1_Nanopct4_focal_current_5.10.12.img downloaded from here, and it appears to detect it just fine. On NixOS I'm running a stock 5.10.13 kernel, which is newer than the 5.10.12 that Armbian is using. I'm assuming that I'm missing some kind of specific patch that makes this work on Armbian. I examined the kernel I was running on Armbian: qwe@nanopct4:~$ ls -l /boot/ | grep rockchip total 63872 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 221399 Feb 3 19:55 config-5.10.12-rockchip64 l…

Hallo, unfortunately i can't find the current orangepi image (https://www.armbian.com/orangepi/). The links to the images either go nowhere (404 file not found) or point to bananapi images. What is the correct link for the current Ubuntu image for the Orangepi? Thank you very much.

Any patch files I put in build/userpatches/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.1/ are applied correctly, however I cannot disable an Armbian patche.

Hi, following the documentation, I used nand-sata-install to boot from SD, system on SATA / USBwithout any problems. My backup solution (raspiBackup.sh) now creates a 16GB image for the SD card, even if it is just used to boot. Is it possible to shrink the partition? Thank you René

I used armbian-config to install remote desktop service on an Odroid C2. Works great. When I add a user via command line (adduser), when they log in they get messages for authentication for network services. I also note it doesn't show the XFCE splash screens like the original user does. It can't browse anything on the wifi network but it can get through on the ethernet network. I assume I haven't added the user to the proper groups - can someone tell me what groups, or if I'm barking up the wrong tree?
