Hello ! I'm trying to make DuetSoftwareFirmware (software to control 3D printers boards using a SBC) working on a OrangePi4B using armbian (The software works well on raspberry pi 3 and 4). It use a SPI interface for data transfer between SBC and the board as well as an extra pin "data transfer ready". I use the pin 22 on the connector for "data transfer ready". This pin is mapped to GPIO1_D0. So GPIO pin number is 56 ( 1 * 32 + 3 * 8 + 0). For now, I'm getting errors because it seems like the pin can't be set into event mode. Below is the part of the source code (it can also be seen here) // Set up the pin gpioevent_request t…

Hello, I'm new to the subject but I have a problem. I have an Orange Pi 3 and i want to install a linux based system on it to mess around with it. I tried to install armbian but with the nand-install-sata script I can't install it on my eMMC memory, since armbian doesn't see i have one. The only thing it offers me is to update the bootloader on the SD card. So i went to /dev/ and my eMMC memory isn't shown there. I just have mmcblk1 witch is my SD card and mmcblk0p1 wich is my armbian partition on the SD card and nothing else. I figured this was due to the fact that maybe this version of armbian didn't support emmc memory, so I tried with the foca…

Hello all, I was setting up a my favorite SBC of all time, the Orange Pi +2E, and I can't believe that I've been so oblivious to this issue for so long, and that there is no easy solution!!! OK, so I'm doing a massive hardware clearout, and I've getting to my OPI's. Part of this hardware clearout is to finish the project I started (if feasible and still useful). I have loads of approx. Intel DC 3000 series SATA drives around 80-200 GB, and I thought these would be perfect "user data" SSD's for each of the SSD's. But then I realized... and my heart sank as I realized this issue is a problem across most OPi boards after consulting the table. …

Hello, I am trying to connect an enc28j60 ethernet port to spi1.0 on an orange pi zero, running armbian (Armbian Focal 5.10.4) (yeah, I need another ethernet port and I wan't to buy another orange pi R1 version. why not?) (Doesn't SPI 0.0 avalible on the divice? I have the jumpers all connected in what I believe is the correct pattern. I turned spi, download(https://github.com/armbian/sunxi-DT-overlays/blob/master/examples/spi-enc28j60.dts), replace spi0 to spi1 and compiled the overlay for the enc28j60 on h3 and added to /boot/overlay-user/ with command rmbian-add-overlay spi-enc28j60.dts.

Trying to download armbian for rockpi-4a, following the link https://redirect.armbian.com/rockpi-4a/ on https://www.armbian.com/rock-pi-4/ In one case, this resolves to https://mirrors.netix.net/armbian/dl/rockpi-4a/, which shows an empty directory except for an archive subdirectory that is empty too. clicking around through the armbian/dl folder, this seems to be only empty directories for any board. In another case, the redirect resolves to https://minio.k-space.ee/armbian which just returns XML gibberish.

Hi, New here and new to Linux / Terminal so please be gentle. I've installed Armbian (Armbian_20.11.6_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.9.14_desktop.img) on my RockPro64... liking it so far. Issue I have is I cannot eject media from the File Manager GUI. This applies to USB thumb drives and also CDR/DVD drive. Error message reads as follows: Failed to eject “15 GB Volume”. Error ejecting /dev/sda: Error spawning command-line ‘eject’/dev/sda”: Failed to execute child process “eject” (No such file or directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8).

Hi, I am currently using Armbian on my Pinebook Pro. I am having an issue with the volume up and down keys on Armbian. They are not working; other keys like brightness control seem to work without issues. I have checked the XFCE keyboard application shortcuts and there seem to be two items relevant to volume control: amixer set Master 5%+ amixer set Master 5%- I have checked out other xfce based distros and they don't have these explicit shortcut. Do I need to delete these items to make the volume up/down keys work? I was also asssuming that pulseaudio is the default software for managing volume (not alsamixer). Do I ne…

Hi I'm trying to get the SPI ports to work in a RockPi 4B board. I've done the following: Installed the Armbian_20.11.6_Rockpi-4b_focal_legacy_4.4.213.img.xz image Edited armbianEnv.txt overlays=spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 There is a entry at: /sys/class/spidev/spidev0.0, but nothing at /dev/spidev/ Next, I built libmraa, which fails to run any examples with SPI, as it can initialize any SPI devices. What am I missing, Hope you can help me

Hello to everyone! I'm trying to solve the issue which is currently being discussed here and I've been forced to revert back to the ancient version in the title. The problem is that along with my OPi PC I use a cheap wireless adapter based on the MT7601. Here, I've found out that the support for these cards had been merged to upstream since 4.2 kernel versions indeed with Armbian Focal 5.10.4-sunxi it worked out of the box like a charm. Unfortunately, it isn't the case with the version I'm currently on, this adding another massive headache! I've found this really interesting thread where it is discussed how to add support for the MT7601. Everything went fine apart …

hello everyone, i realized, that the new armbian-images (buster & bionic kernel 5.10.y) on a nanopi neo core / air will have some problems. i can build the sd-card and the nano boots up and gets an ip-address. but if i try to login via ssh (headless installation) i got the "access denied" msg. something gona wrong with the user root & the init-password (1234). so i try to install focal (same kernel) and it works. somebody got the same problem like me? ore resolve that? kind regards andre

hello everyone, I would like to know if it is possible to remove support for video cameras and wi-fi from the operating system so that they do not load at startup and reprogram these connectors to suit your needs? Thank you in advance for your answer

Hello to everyone! : ) I've made a lot of digging around but I haven't found a final reply to my questions because all the informations I've found are quite old and probably outdated. I own an OPi PC which I was using with Libreelec but unfortunately the HDMI output broke because of the missing protections. By what I know, there isn't any mean of getting AV out working on Libreelec so I switched to Armbian for which it seems to be possible instead. I've installed it with no issues at all (version as per title) but all the guides I've found on this forum to enable AV out seem not to apply, probably because they're intended for much older Armbian versions nor I couldn't fin…

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

Is there any recommendations how to upgrade Armbian from Ubuntu Bionic to Ubuntu Focal?

orangepiplus2e: I have been using an OS that i downloaded in the usa. Now I am in ukraine and after i do an update & upgrade, which does run through, the OS tries to connect to the internet, but fails; the page tries to open, but all i see are a few lines of the internet homepage i connected to. So, it does go to the page, but won't open it. I have tried multiple times using different url's. During the update, the OS upgrades to the current version, Buster 10.7. I downloaded a new OS from both "usa" & "europe", but upon trying to install it, i got a "ua" keyboard screen message for both usa&europe, and i had to choose an…

Hi, Just did a new armbian build Armbian_21.02.0-trunk_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.10.6_desktop and flashed the image. It works ok but after some reboot times the auto login to desktop is not working anymore and it prompts for user login. Tried quite a few times to re-install but always after a few shutdown and start again cycles it reverts to login prompt and not auto login. Also tried to find a solution in the forum but the files and config involved in previous solutions is no longer valid in the newer builds (/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf or /etc/default/nodm). So the questio…

I have read the other thread about this. If that one would not be closed I would have posted in there. My boottime is around 45 seconds and I would like to have it (much) faster. I run the V 20.11.06 Buster current 5.9.14 on two RockPi's 4 A with uBoot, NVME and no SD-card. I bought the TTL-Cable and it gives a lot, but the pause I am complaining about is entierly after all of that. The pause comes when minicom says "Rockpi4 Login:". The RockPi seems still to be "booting", black screen on and of, NVME Led blinking burst from time to time (no pattern), for ~15 seconds. Then I get the red Logo with the circling dots, they circle 7-8 times and only the…

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…

Hi all. I've just finished a new video where I show the gameplay of EmuElec on the Odroid HC4. I must say I'm amazed by how well it performs. It doesn't perform that much worse than the Odroid N2+. The biggest advantage is that you can use a normal 3.5" hard drive for your games library. The single USB2 port is enough to connect your controller. Here's my video.

I like armbian-debian but don't like that i can only do the checksum for the 'img.xz' and not the actual image. Once i extract the .img from the img.xz, i don't see how i can check the actual .img since there is no checksum for it; even though it is very difficult for malware to get on the .img, it is possible. I realize that if the .img.xz's checksum is good, then the .img image is good. But once I expose the .img to my computer, if there is malware unknowingly present, then the .img could become infected and I have no way to check it. My orangepiplus2e is 32-bit. Thanks

Hi, I'm running Armbian 20.11.6 Buster with Linux 5.9.14-mvebu, on a ClearFog Base. This is (or will be) a production machine, so I'd like to keep it stable where possible. The default OpenSSH version in the stable Armbian build is 7.9. openssh-server/stable,now 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u2 armhf I need to update this package to a version greater than v8.1. By switching to the nightly Ambian build, I see the package is at version 8.4, but I don't know if running the nightly build is great on a production machine. Before I do anything stupid, could I get some feedback about the recommended/safest way to upgrade this package? …

Hi. Has anyone managed to properly install can4linux on the latest bananian? I used the guide: http://forum.lemaker.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=13107 But bananian-1501 is no longer supported and there is no way to properly use it.

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…

I'm trying to get the orange pi lite 2 to work with a desktop image, but the images i find on the armbian site are server only (no interface).

Can anyone point out a specific version or provide a download link? if so, thanks.

According to this, to run u-boot from flash I just need latest u-boot, apply patch from the link (CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS=1), copy config to .config, build it, flash it to SPI and it should work? I did that and for my SOM-RK3399v2 (I have added SPI flash 16 MB chip to it), it starts to boot and it got stuck on line: Trying to boot from SPI I am trying for weeks, tried various .configs/OFFSets/various config options/printf debugging/... , various binary files (for RockPro64, PineBook Pro, Roc-PC, etc) and same error. U-boot flashed to SD/eMMC works. SPI flash works in Linux:

It seems my OrangePi Prime was loosing stability over the years. It was working fine initially, then it was hanging up from time to time - and now it no longer can boot on stock armbian settings. It bootloops on "Starting kernel ..." in serial console. But when I set voltage to 1.3v in armbianEnv.txt - it booted ok. So it seems to be a hardware issue. Does anyone know if there is CPU VDD test point somewhere, or which regulator is responsible for CPU voltage?

I have an OrangePi +2E with the latest version of armbian. Yesterday, after a sudo apt-get upgrade, chromium upgraded to 87.0.4280.88 (Build) built on Debian 10.7. After that chromium has become useless: probably the slowest browser ever. In case you ask: I've removed all the extensions and uninstalled the browser and then installed again. nothing changed. The older version worked just "fine" (relative to what an orange pi can offer in terms of performance, of course) Is this the end of internet browsing on armbian?

Hello there, My board had just rebooted with no notice, so I wanted to take a look at /var/log/syslog in order to diagnose the issue, but for some reason, there are no logs between Dec 30 and the moment my board rebooted. Why are logs missing? What do I need to do in order to keep them the next time my board reboots? Also, am I looking at the right place to diagnose reboots? Thanks for you help! PS1: My board is the Helios64 and I'm running Armbian 20.11.4 Buster with OMV 5. PS2: I know there is an Helios64 Club, though I did not choose to post there as I'm not sure if this issue is specific to that board.

I downloaded the Armbian_20.11.3_Odroidxu4_buster_legacy_4.14.212.img.xz and unpacked it using Keka. The integrity check I did using Quick-Hash and the Armbian_20.11.3_Odroidxu4_buster_legacy_4.14.212.img.xz.sha file provided together with the download file. As this sha file was for the compressed xz file, the integrity check was also done on the compressed image. How to check integrity on the image itself? Where do I find an sha file for the image? Thanks for you help...

I tried to create encrypted home folders on my NanoPi R4S but for some reason the password prompt does not show up in serial console. It just times out and therefore fails. I assume that the prompt is not properly pointed to the serial console but the board's console is clearly set to serial. Tried to simply connect an USB keyboard and when the boot at the serial console pauses to enter the password this way but no idea if it has been recognized because it made no difference.

Hi everyone, I'm just a beginner with Armbian and OrangePi. I have some questions, please help me if you have time: Orange Pi PC Plus has serial PIN J3 and GPIO Serial PIN -> What is the difference between them? J3 is maybe debug serial ? I'm trying to write a python example to communicate between PC and board. I have also DB9 module and USB TTL but the problem is that I don't know from where should i start. thank you everyone , I'm waiting for your answer. have a good day

Hi there, I am a newbie. Just built my first kerne;/uboot for my RockPi S board. I was wondering a few things : * Are the kernel sources online ? For example : linux-source-5.9.16-rockchip64.tar.xz * If I want to add a devicetree overlay and driver code, what is the best way to do that ? Should I ammend the kernel ? Should I create an out of kernel package ? thanks Matt

Hi. Working on orange pi 3. With the latest version of armbian (20.11.3), my eth0 network interface is not able to connect to network. If I deploy an old image (20.02.1), it works. As soon as I apt update and apt upgrade, reboot, the new armbian version shown becomes 20.11.3 again, and eth0 is not able to connect anymore : at startup, a long job runs with the message "A start job is running for Network Manager Wait Online" and after some times, fails with "Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online". As soon as I redeploy the old image, it's working again. I did not touch anything else from the fresh image, only apt install/upgrade. Is …

I'm running Armbian 20.11.3 Buster on the Odroid N2 (kernel 5.9.14-meson64). I wanted information on memory pressure of the system, but I was surprised to see that pressure stall information (PSI) was not at /proc/pressure/memory. I then noticed that the PSI tool is not configured in the Armbian build. Specifically, the /boot/config-5.9.14-meson64 file contains "# CONFIG_PSI is not set" Why is pressure stall information not configured on Armbian? Are there better or other tools to provide this information? I briefly looked at free and /proc/meminfo, but I'm of the opinion that unused RAM is wasted and looking at free memory is not a good indicator if operation…

Hi. I would pre-configure a board in a SBC small lan. The board is blind and I have not the cable to config it from outside, i have to config it by txt file to get it online in the lan at the startup.

Hi guys, I'm trying to share internet access from wireless Wlan0 to Ethernet Eth0 port to connect a SIP phone to the PBX asterisk server; nevertheless as the Asterisk server has source IP filtering, i have to establish a VPN tunnel with and openVPN server that has static public IP who already had a granted IP to access the Asterisk server. I'm using Armbian (buster) with Linux 5.9.14-sunxi on a OPI Zero plus H2, nevertheless, i guess this is not a hardware problem. I have no issues to install and connect openVPN what creates a new tap adapter tap0 with the assigned IP from server, once connected the Zero Plus starts accessing internet thru the tap adapter…

Hi. I am trying to start an Armbian flashed image. It is the main on the download page (both Buster and Focal). The Fire3 is lighing the red led and the green one but the screen is frozen on the U-boot first row as shown in the image attached here. Nothing appens. I burned the image with BalenaEtcher and Unetbootin. In both cases all the two images in the download page of the Fire3 are showing the same row at boot time. The images provided by the FriendlyElec website are working normally so there is not, for me, an hardware issue. I am building a SBC rack and I would like to install Armbian for all the boards. Thanks and sorry if I duplicete the thread but here is not eas…

Hello Friends, There is a requirement from Client to not run lvextend command if it was run in last 24 hrs. I have tried the following and still havent figured out how to do it, any help will be highly appreciated: 1.] Have tried checking /var/log/messages, dmesg command logs. There are no kern.logs in the server so cannot check that as well. 2.] There is no /var/log/syslog so cannot check that. Also cannot activate logging by modifying lvm2.conf file as there are many servers. 3.] 'history' command only displays 10 commands and that too from current tty. If there are any files which gets added with any volume group changes information please suggest…

Hi, Armbian gurus. I have make a new kernel and related modules for my pineh64 and want to test it. Thus they are not from dpkg. To test this kernel and modules. I have few questions: 1. About the symbolic links in /boot, are they all mandatory? What if I don't have an initramfs? 2. The Image linked file, is it have to be limited to certain compressed format to work properly? 3. Is there a recommended work flow to test a external kernel? Or I can just test by replacing Image, dtb, and the modules? Thank you.

On my odroidxu4 with armbian stretch, I had hard time rebooting without having one disk of the 4-drives RAID5 lvm device being kick out of the array on next boot.

Hello, I am running Armbian on my Hummingboard i2eX, currently with Debian Buster on 4.9.7 kernel. For running some legacy HW (s0vz, counting impulses) I have to mux several GPIO pins to use them for input. Following http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1571.html on 4.x kernel, I always was able to mux e.g. gpio-73 with devmem 0x020e0138 32 0x15 and then set the pin for input with: echo 73 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "rising" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio73/edge Starting with 5.x kernel based Armbian images, I have 2 issues: muxing any IO pins with devmem seems no more possible and gpio72 is now reserved for Butto…

Good evening, Is it possible to "re-use" the system on SATA ? And how would I do that. I use a HC4 with SD card, a SSD and a HDD I flashed the SD card with Armbian_20.11.1_Odroidhc4_buster_current_5.9.12.img.xz then used armbian-config to Boot from SD - system on SATA. (sdb2) also I installed PiHole, OMV ... Due to an power failure the HC4 was not booting anymore. With a newly flashed SD card its booting again, but of course its not using the system on sdb2 When using armbian-config it would erase by sdb2 before Could I somehow use the system which still should be on sdb2 instead of starting from beginn…

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…

Hello, I'm trying to install Armbian on my OrangePiZero but i have networks issues. After 3/4 hours of tests and search i found on a forum that the problem came from the kernel version. And the person said it works with: "Armbian_5.30_Orangepizero_Debian_jessie" Where can i download this rom please ? The problem: When i start my OrangePiZero i don't have ip (i use USB/TTL to access to command line). I tried to set static ip, dhcp, i tried to remove networkmanager, to use dhcpcd instead of dhclient, etc... I also tried wifi, but same... Thanks !

Recent apt upgrade caused problems with headless Orange PI+. It is not respond via ping and ssh. Prev upgrade also made the breaking change - eMMC's path in /dev was also changed.

I maen what packages should i place in placeholder to prevent upgrade. echo "<package> hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have enabled overlayroot using "armbian-config" command line tool (in my orangepi PC). My current OS is Armbian Focal xfce desktop After rebooting, I noticed that the entire filesystem stills writable. I checked the content of ( /etc/overlayroot.conf) using; cat /etc/overlayroot.conf this command show at the end of the file these two lines: (after commented content): overlayroot_cfgdisk="disabled" overlayroot="tmpfs" If I well understood, normally, with such a configuration, the filesystem should be set to read only., but in practice, it is not. Could you assist me how to resolve this problem?

Why is the support of the Banana M2 model on the A31c processor stopped? I am ready to become a tester. In the firmware in the "overlay" folder there are "dtbo" files for sun6i and sun8i, but they are absent sun7i-***.dtbo, which makes it impossible to work on the a31c board with sound and serial interfaces. Please return the missing files to the firmware or provide a link where you can download them.

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…

I have a Nanopi R2s but this is generic to most boards without an inbuilt battery backed RTC. I have added a battery backed 1307 module on the I2C bus and gone through the process of getting it recogised and used. As far as it goes that's fine. The problem is the RTC is only read late in the boot process so the first part of the syslog record has incorrect date and time. Is there any way to force systemd to process the 1307 at the very start? I tried hacking the non-battery backed RTC script but it didn't take. Another option is to get the pre-systemd processes to read from the 1307 and set the inbuilt RTC before systemd starts using it? …

Hello, Thanks to the help here I got to install a latest armbian mainline version with the Lima OpenGL 2.1 support functional that might have not helped the desktop but is still nice to see the o.s. using any part of this system on a chip. To make some test after glxinfo e glxgears I tried the yquake2 engine with the demo old game and it works. I was expecting considering how old the game is to work faster even if it's accelerated for sure and expecting better quality results (bilinear filtering is not the best and sometimes objects disappear and reappear depending on the scene but it's a good test anyway). I heard lately that has been released a free sof…

Hello, I got a Orange Pi One H3 based board with the usual 512MB DDR3 ram and never used it much but lately I'm trying to use it as an everyday home computer, so I'm trying to push the hardware as much as possible to benefit from any features. I actually have installed latest armbian v5.9.x kernel o.s. with Buster distribution and with some zram usage it's quite acceptable on the speed side. I had to add an heatsink on the SoC cause after latest mainline kernel temperature it seems to get close easier to 80°C degrees and even if I suppose it might work even at these temps, I think it was better to lower it down a bit (probably 5° to 10°C degrees). No overclocki…

Hi, Can I use this guide to run armbian on a SSD on a tinkerboard and then install Homeassistant? Until now I run hass.io. I'm trying to run it on an SSD to prevent SD card corruption again.

I have an N2+ that I'm flashing Debian Buster onto an emm card. Have tried numerous times in several variations -- flash emm, boot system, log in via ssh, set up personal account, "apt update", "apt upgrade", reboot. After that I cannot log in via ssh anymore. I am using the system in headless mode and don't currently have a working serial connection (SiLabs hasn't updated their drivers to Big Sur yet) so I can't tell if the system is booting but ssh isn't working. Anyone know why "apt upgrade" would cause it to not boot or not present an ssh server properly?
