Hi, I bought a OrangePi Zero, burned the latest image on a good SD card, and started it. I bought a hat with a video output, but I don't have the right cables yet. So... I'm trying to set it up without any display for the time being. It looks like the port 22 is not opened, or any other ports, depending on the nmap command I use: $ nmap -sS -O -PI -PT 192.168.0.15 Starting Nmap 7.50 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-06-01 07:33 ope Note: Host seems down.

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…

Hello everyone, I give you a 2017 discussion about a modified version of ffmpeg called Cedrus for H3 processors at 32bit. Since the h5 is 64 bit and the code they speak is quite old, therefore I cannot use it, I wonder if there is any version of ffmpeg that takes advantage of the HW acceleration of the H5 processors. Thank you Max

Hello, From the subject of this topic it may sound like a very common and must-know question. But trust me I am struggling to add my custom prebuilt apk in to the Android 10 AOSP to include it in my custom ROM. What I have tried so far; 1. I have added a directory of my_app_name in <aosp_dir>/packages/apps/. Added an Android.mk file with below content in it, Placed my apk with that Android.mk in same directory. This did not work, I am not able to find any my_app_name.apk in out/targte/product directories.

I recently bought a used OrangePi 5, when it arrived it had a working Ubuntu image on an SD card. I decided to format the card and put my own image of Armbian on the card using the Armbian imager. when installed the card would no longer boot. lights on board but black screen no HDMI output. I tried several different SD cards and different images all with the same result (A1 Sandisk cards) Eventually I tried a hail mary and put an Armbian image on a really old USB thumb stick and it immediately booted and worked just fine. I tried putting the OrangePi os on one of my SD cards for kicks and it gets HDMI output but is just stuck on th…

For what it's worth: I managed to compile VICE (classic commodore computer emulators) on my roseapple pi board running Armbian. I could not find it in the repository, so I started fiddling myself. This to address some nostalgic feelings which come by so now and then! Recipe in the spoiler.... Compiling and installation is pretty straight forward: 1) Download VICE 2.4 source-code from http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/ 2) xvzf vice-2.4.tar.gz 3) cd vice-2.4 4) sudo apt-get install build-essential libvte-dev libasound2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgnome2-dev 5) make 6) sude make install 7) start your trip down to memory lane with: vsid - the SID player x64 - the …

Hello everyone, first i want to say sorry if this post is not in the right place. I decided to post this in Armbian forum first, because I use it and it was awesome linux distribution with good community and support. I started as a hobby to write a software about controlling relays, to switch things in my home, like light, water heater, floor heater, etc. Hardware passes from PicoIP , thru wireless routers and finish on Orange PI, it offers a lot extras for it's price. What I have done so far: (all is in web interface, written from scratch) You can: switch on/off relays switch on/off relays for period of time schedule …

hello guys, how to activate bridge mode between the 2 ethernet ports of R2S (WAN and LAN) which are referred to as eth0 and lan0 respectively, so as both of them have the same ip address. i tried this https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections#Manual_bridge_setup but when i reach the command which adds interfaces to the bridge (# brctl addif br0 eth0 lan0)then the ssh connection is lost. i noticed something as well, in interfaces file i added eth0 and lan0 and gave each one a different ip. but then it seems as is now i have two IPs but for the same port (WAN), and no ip for lan port!!!

Hello. I need kernel 4.15.0-88 on Orangepi PC. I used "apt-get install linux-generic" to install kernel 4.15.0-88. After reboot Orangepi does not boot. What is wrong?

I have been trying to install armbian and run from usb flash. every time i can get through the installer (it usually freezes at 2 3 or 4 percent when it does make it all the way it hangs on reboot. i have tried different usb drives even a cf card. also i read the instructions on which image to use but i am lost as to which one is which. i understand the small images are the headless but the desktop versions i am not sure of the differences. here is a list of the available images. i don't understand the differences in the versions. archive2018-04-05 14:013.9 GB nightly2018-01-28 16:29609 B Nanopik-s_Ubuntu_xenial_next_desktop.…

Hi I got ugly fonts in chromium. It seems the package fonts-liberation was missing. I did not have the issue with the Uefi-x86 version. Kind regards Philippe

I have read a few forum posts on the topic but I'm still not convinced. Which one is safer and more stable for Armbian based NAS? I previously had issues and data loss on BTRFS. However I now hear that it's much more stable. I been using ZFS on FreeBSD without any issues for years and I would prefer it but it seems that it's a hit and miss to get it working. I just did and it was very easy but I read that people have random issues with upgrades etc. Any thoughts? Thanks! a

A coworker of mine gave me a 5 inch hdmi touchscreen (waveshare knockoff). Getting hdmi to work properly on my orangepi pc was done in a few minutes. But the touchscreen drives me nuts. It came with a xpt2046 so I loaded the ads7846 driver I compiled from fbtft. No error messages, but also no response to a touch. It took me a week to finally realize that not the wiring, the driver or Armbian is was the problem, but the touch digitizer was. So I ordered a new one on my favorite Chinese site and installed it on the lcd. Finally I got a response to touching the screen, but I was not able to calibrate it with xinput_calibrator. After manually calibrating it …

Hi, I ran into an issue when configuring ssh. As it seems, ssh listens only to the first interface that is enabled (it seems it is always eth0). Probably, if I set a listen to 192.168.x.x in the config file of the sshd (same as the IP set in the wlan0), and a different network on the ethernet, it would work, but as I won't be using ethernet I would rather disable it completly. I tried already ifdown, ifconfig down, ifconfig eth0 down && rmmod -f sunxi_gmac, and some others. I even tried removing nmtui just to check if that was causing the problem. all what that step does is removing the bond0 interface (something I would like to do too). I checke…

On http://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/I see am Armbian 5.25 with many improvements But on https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipc/the files seem to be 5.24 and older, even the nightly versions. I am interested in the sunxi mainline version with kernel 4.9. Thanks in advance! Christian

I am looking for recommendations, the outstanding group here has knowledge of pretty much every board out there I would think. I have had to abandon my OPI projects today. They are just not stable/usable. A board specific crash at every turn. Comes with a legacy kernel that doesn't even support a working BTRFS. The up to date mainline kernel is also far from working I am told. Ethernet masq causes reboot, out of memory killing processes/servers while there is lots of free ram and swap, SD slot crashes periodically making the system unusable till the storage is removed and is checked/repaired by a working system. So, even working around everything, with a repla…

Hello, Thru various and sundry means, I have acquired this unusual specimen; a ZeroDesktop MiiPC M1140. This was originally intended to be a "family desktop PC" that runs on Android Jelly Bean and was released in 2013. It looks like a TV box had a child with a NUC. The machine runs a Marvell Armada 1500 Plus processor with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage. The company, Zerodesktop, ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund producing these - my model is one of the Kickstarter Editions. I know that the Marvell Armada 1500 was used in the Google Chromecast 2, along with a bunch of set top boxes. ZeroDesktop no longer exists as a company, having only produced t…

Hi there, I would like to have a Docker container accessing the GPIO on the Orange Pi Zero. For the time being, I'm using OPi.GPIO as a library to make a LED blink, but will use Java-Periphery and SSD1306 later on. As for now, the LED is blinking, all is fine. What I would like to do now it to create a Docker image from Armbian doing the same thing, so I was thinking of starting the image from scratch with Armbian root directory. How could I find/make a minimal Armbian root directory to build my Docker image upon? Thanks.

I'm kinda new here, and lets first say thank you for Armbian, it has kinda saved me from having to do a lot more work than I have had to, to get my Orange Pi 5 Plus to a state where it's really a pretty cool little test/experimental system... BUT, I wondered... since many of these devices have accessible PCIe in one form or another, and the Mali GPU is a bit of a blocker... Perhaps it would be good to build the kernel with the modules for open source GPUs for Mesa... AMDGPU, XE, and i915.. Currently I'm in this position... I know I could clone the project from GIT, and build my own kernel, but this seems like an obvious next step and I wonder how many other people would …

I'm trying to create an access point on a Tinker Board S with a MT7601U wifi dongle, since the wifi that it incorporates I could not make it work. When I configure the AP, this message appears. One of your wireless drivers are on a black list due to poor quality. AP mode might not be possible! Is not supported in Armbian? is one of the hardware devices tested?

This is a bunch of background info, scroll down to TL;DR for my question.... Hello, I am working on developing an application to make single board computers easier to use for non-technical users. You can think of it as something similar to yunohost or freedombox, but with more hand-holding involved around the hardware & network setup. I'm trying to enable people like my mother who've never seen or used a terminal/shell before to be able to set up and operate a server in their home. The general process looks something like this: user downloads my cross platform desktop application called "seedpacket" they run the app and go through a ser…

Hi, I recently upgraded from Armbian 5.38 to 5.70 (using apt-get upgrade). I regularly use /etc/init.d/resize2fs to enlarge the partition for the actual given SD-Card after installing the image. (Usually I copy a 4GB image on an 8GB card and run at the first boot sudo /etc/init.d/resize2fs start So how can I do increasing of the image now ? Thanks and Best Regards, Axel

Hey guys, brand new to linux so sorry for obvious/easy question being obvious/easy I wanted to set up Pi Hole on my new Renegade, but I cannot figure out how to make/find a static ip address. I have found the IPv4 settings, tried to create an ip address in there, but I don't think it worked. Thanks for any help or advice you can give me, after I get the static IP address set hopefully I won't have any more problems setting up Pi Hole. Thanks again!

As listed in the topic, this is my desired and actual partition table setup for a lot of my computers. The U-boot 'partition 0' is typically somewhere in sector 1 till where partition 1 starts and only for SoCs/boards that do not understand any filesystem, like Allwinner and Rockchip based platforms. Also old BIOS PCs actually. It can be MBR or GPT (+hybrid) if more than 4 partitions are needed, for multi-boot, like adding Linux to a new Win11 pre-installed PC. The FAT is ESP or just type 0x0c/0x0700. Now I am struggling a bit with the case where a preinstalled ROCK 3A (RK3568, board ordered, not delivered yet) image has FAT mounted in /boot. RaspberryPi and U…

I went into a problem after setting up mariadb / nextcloud installation nativ on my armbian installation odroid n2. per default the logfiles for mariadb (bin files) are logged to /var/log which is only 50 mb because of in memory usage (zram). So after some usage the whole installation stucked because of "out of disk usage" in /var/log. So I stopped nginx, php and mariadb and created a new logfile location in /var/log.mariadb and changed the necessary entries in /etc/mysql/my.conf and started the necessary services again. For now the usage is propper again in /var/log. Maybe this is useful for other people or other had another solution for this. …

Hi, In december, I was able to install a working system to nand (boot from nand, system on sata), but didn't have the nessery time to finish the configuration. Today I rebooted my cubietruck for the first time since then, and tried updating all the installed packages with 'apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade'. One of the updates (an important one, see below) failed with the following error: and: Confident as I am, I rebooted the device. Unfortunately, it does not come up as expected. I still have the SD-card used for the install in december (and can boot the cubietruck with it), so I could start from scratch again. But may be there is somet…

I do not have petitboot installed. I ran the Armbian buster with OMV5 for over a year. I decided to make a clean install and booted Armbian bullseye 11. I changed hostname and rebooted (curiously reboot doesn't reboot the hc4, why?). I used armbian-config to install OMV. Installation completed, brought me back to armbian-config and prompted to reboot. I hit reboot (then was forced to power cycle as hc4 won't come back to life after a soft-boot?). Note that I was able to power cycle and get a good boot BEFORE omv installed but not after. At that point Odroid hc4 never comes back online. I've been through this 3 times today. I gave it as…

Long story short, I accidentally removed all the contents of the /boot folder 😢. I'm running minimal Armbian 24.5.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.1.43-vendor-rk35xx on Orange pi 5 plus. It all started with a failed apt update indicating there wasn't enough space in the boot partition. The update was trying to install 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx kernel, so I decided to remove the old one from the boot to free up some space. Instead, I accidentally applied 'rm -r' to the entire /boot folder. My SBC is working fine now, but I'm afraid it won't boot on next restart, so I'm looking for a way to recover the files. So far, I performed apt upgrade, which put the new…

Both my Orange Pi Pc and Orange Pi Zero have horrifically slow/laggy/issues with SSH. Random drops, connection issues, and EXTREME lagginess with keyboard input. Sometimes the session will "freeze" randomly. This is after re-installation on fresh SD cards that work well otherwise. Power supplies have been used before with same boards and same SD cards, but after re-installation of various armbian installations, it's laggy. I'm not even sure which version I started with initially with my orange pi zero which I had first, but I had upgraded and upgraded and upgraded through versions...and figured a fresh install couldn't hurt. It hurt. Th…

Hi all, I've installed ISPConfig by the "armbian-config" menu I created several sites on my web server installed in debian Buster and ISPConfig 3.1.15p3.

But when running compile.sh, I get the following error: [💲|💥] Problem detected [ WSL2 Terminal does not support UTF-8 ] Full log: https://paste.armbian.com/zopitumatu I don't know why this is happening, I've tried both cmd, powershell 5, powershell 7, all with the same result.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Hey everyone...I've tried searching the problem I'm having and have tried different things...all so far to no avail. I'm relatively new to learning about pihole and decided to go out and buy the kit from ameriDroid (maybe should have built my own but decided to go this route to try and save myself some time).

apt upgrade updated the kernel of Banana pro, according to symlinks in /boot from Updated 4.9.0-7 to 4.9.0-8. Now I only get "Starting Linux", which means that output is send to serial console not tty from what I read. I read that I'd have edit uEnv.txt in order to solve the console issue and continue debugging the issue, but I cannot find this file anywhere on the partition. I tried to revert boot.scr but this did not change anything. I probably could revert to the old kernel by changing the symlinks as well, but I would rather like to use the new kernel....

Hi, I am new with Rockchip. I use Raspberry Pi earlier. I try make Python(3.5) program from remote PyCharm using Kivy (Win7). My problem is somewhere in OpenGL ES extension.

Hey. I'm working on getting a small touch screen working on my OPiZ+2. It's a Waveshare 4.3 with a resistive touchpanel (using HDMI for displaying). I've had some issues getting the touch panel to work, and just wanted to share my findings, and ask whether I have misunderstood something. The waveshare wiki does provide a script for setting up the panel, but I think it's more aimed at a raspberry pi, and it didn't get the touch panel working. I manually added spi-spidev and spi-add-cs1 to to armbianEnv.txt. I also added the parameters: param_spidev_spi_bus=1 param_spidev_spi_cs=1 (took me a bit to figure out that I…

Has anyone tried to install PiVPN or EasyRSA on a Rock64? I tried this and had some issues where EasyRSA did not install. No errors were shown on the install or captured in the install log. Took me a while to figure out that EasyRSA was not installed. It even created .opvn files for clients... I finally figured out what happened. Did some research and found a suggestion to manually install some packages BEFORE installing PiVPN. That seems to work, so now I have a working VPN. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having an issue. I will also post on the PiVPN Github site to get their input. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have a Helios 4 running Armbian 5.68 I have set up Nextcloud, and everything is working. However, if the server is "cold" it takes several seconds for the page to load. If the server is "hot" then the page loads immediately. I'd like to know if there's anything I can do to keep the page loading at its fastest speed. I'm confident that it's not due to the hard drive going into standby. I have used the command sudo hdparm -S 0 /dev/sda To disable the hard drive going into standby mode, and confirmed that the slow loading still occurs if the hard drive is active/idle with sudo hdparm -C /dev/sda Any s…

Playing with freshly installed/updated armbian, tried to compile "patched" realtek drivers for those weird realtek 81xx things. Bumped error: ./scripts/recordsmcount not found Go to /usr/src/linux-headers-whatever-version-4.x/scripts then, sudo make recordmcount After this even DKMS version installed/build without any issues. Not sure I will survive next kernel update without manual intervention with this "make", but anyway, it worked for me.

Hi! I want copy Armbian from eMMC to sd card, someone can help? Thanks!

Hello, starting at Level 0 here. guess I'm just looking for a point in the right direction. want to learn how to install updates. (the short version) the long version is, I spent several hours learning I was burning armbian for my brand new libre H5 onto a Sandisk Xc V2 (oops) to re-read the instructions for the I don't know howmanith time before I noticed the detail about v2 cards are having a hard time being supported. Finally it is up and running I'm happy to say I'm currently using it which is a step in the right direction, but as I am using it to look up youtube videos to update firefox I realize I don't have audio so now I'm down a different path trying …

First time trying Armbian on my N2. I know N2 is very picky with HDMI cables, I tried a bunch of HDMI cables and couldn't make it work thru any my HDMI switches(1080p). I had to connect it directly to the HDMI ports on my TV to get video signal. My Samsung TV is a 65inch 4k capable of handling 1080p resolutions with my other arm64 devices(C4, Rpi4, Rockpro64 and N2+) without any issues. Unfortunately, despite of setting resolution to 1080p60(setenv hdmimode "1080p60hz"), disabling auto detection(setenv display_autodetect "false") and setting HDP=true(setenv disablehpd "true") on boot.ini, it keeps ignoring these settings. Just to make sure, I edited both "boot.ini" under …

I have been away from the forum for a while because my armbian has worked as a charm for a long while. Now however I have a minor problem All my devices (nvidia-jetson nano, raspberry pi 4, raspberry pi 2W, raspberry pi 3) can do x-windows to xming (running windows on my main computer). However none of my armbian can (running kernel Linux orangepi4 5.10.63-rockchip64, sunxi and sunxi64) start xeyes on my windows computer while raspberry and tegra can, so nothing is wrong with my setup. What has changed regarding X11 since kernel 4.x? Using "export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0" in all SBC:s ~/.bashrc On armbian I get "Error: Can't open display: localhost…

Did anyone tested to build Armbian in Distro Box?

Hello I just started using Armbian to try to salvage a Banana PI M2 that I had given up on more or less due to bad system images and lack of support from the maker. And so far the Armbian has solved all my problems that I had with the images from Banana PI, except..... I cannot get USB sticks to mount. I installed thunar-volman and tick marked Mount removable drives when hot-plugged, Mount removable drives when inserted, Browse removable media when inserted. Is there something I might be missing ? Thanks

Hi I am experienced with Raspberry Pi and UBUNTU I bought now several Orange Pi to use in IOT project (can't find Raspberry Zero) So my questions are basic regarding the board I have downloaded Lubuntu image form here Put on SD card and tried to boot I get steady leds on network port (did connect any cable) I get steady Red led on board But nothing happen on HDMI display I tried other images but then no Red led and also nothing happen While searching I saw the Red led means image is recognized, but still...... Anyone?

hey all! i want to create my own armbian image to burn to many devices it seems it would be smart to re-enable the firstrun to run the next time the os boots up (i.e. inside another Orange Pi) is the correct way to do this: systemctl enable firstrun ? Id like to: expand the partition set a random mac address create any keys p.s. sorry for multiple error posts.

Hi, I am unable to build any images for orangepi SOCs specifically orangepilite, orangepilite2 and one plus. Always returned error halfeway. Following is a sample of log when I compile image for orange pi lite. Please me some guidance on how to resolve this. My steps: run sudo compile.sh -- "Do no tchnage the kernel..." --> "orangepilite"--> either current or legacy --> either "buster" -->"Image with console inter..." -->"Standard image with ..."compilation.log

Hi Igor. I think I found another inadvertenttant bug in the build since the desktop was unseparated out. The new build is calling chromium instead of chromium-browser, and it's breaking. It brings up a brief pink screen. When you call it from a window it calls this image below. Otherwise it is installing desktop on the H3 just fine.

Hello together, I want to know, it is possible to switch from BUSTER to BULLSEYE ?? I use the ARMBian for Rock PI4 with DEBIAN-.Buster and I plan to change it to Bullseye.... If there any reason, problems, etc. for do this? Best regards Matthias

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

Hello, very now to Linux and Armbian and have a BIGTREETECH PAD 7 (a BIGTREETECH CB1 with built in screen https://github.com/bigtreetech/Pad7/blob/master/BIGTREETECH Pad 7 v1.0 User Manual.pdf ). I would really like to be able to run old-school Doom on it and was wondering if someone could tell me if it is possible, and then point me in the right direction of a noob-friendly tutorial if it is possible. Thank you for taking the time to read.

I am going through the following when trying to install tvheadend: Then I see briefly (< 1 second)... followed by, for another < 1 second: and then it quickly returns to: I can repeat this over and over but the software doesn't get installed. df shows only 6% used in /. Any ideas? What can I do to find out why this happens? Is there a command line option to trigger this process manually where I can observe what it does? Many thanks, Chris

Hello. It seems there is an issue with iptables in the 6.18.10-current-meson64 kernel. I can't start Docker because of this. ``` ~# iptables -L modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/6.18.10-current-meson64 iptables v1.8.11 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. ``` As I run a docker version 28.X.X, it does not support nftable. (Cannot upgrade at the moment). What can I do to solve the problem ? Thanks

Hi, I downloaded Armbian 4.14.14 and I installed it on my Banana PI. Then I configured it to act as Gateway/Firewall. Now, just before I start active using it, I wanted to backup the installation on a second SD-card, just in case... I buyed a Toshiba 8GB Class 10 and I started to copy the data from my "old" SD-Card (SanDisk 8GB Class 10), first with Linux using dd, then under Windows using Win32DiskImager. Always the same problem: if I boot the Banana PI with the new card the system boots and, before I get the login screen, the system restarts in a loop... With the "old" card of course it works... Can someone …

I have the magicsee N5 max with amlogic s905x3 processor, I think it is compatible with the magicsee n5 plus, the problem is that I was reading in the forums, but many of the files that were used for the n5 plus I can no longer find them, now there are new versions and I would like to know if someone could guide me now which is the correct way to install it. I'm not very good at this but if you guide me I can make it work for sure, thanks.

I made a kernel upgrade which was not successful The kernel does not boot up. Unfortunately armbian does not contain a fallback method to load the old kernel. Therefore I need a way to restore the old kernel. I copied a working boot folder from another sdcard which does not work. What did I miss?

Hello Armbian, how does kernel update procedure work? There is the script [1] that indicates that kernel was updated. Is that updating procedure automatic? When does that happen? Has it user under the control? Many thanks for clarification. Rostislav [1] https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/etc/profile.d/armbian-check-first-login-reboot.sh

Hi, I'm running Armbian Ubuntu Server on my Neo2 and works quite good. I just can't install Wireguard. I have installed kernel headers from armbian config, bit still fails. I use the ppa repo. Kernel stable latest, 4.19.57 Any ideas how to proceed and install?

Hello there, I am looking a way to get / write a script for the file to be run on startup. I am running PiAware with dump1090-fa installed. I would like to having the view1090-fa --modeac to be auto run when the system is ON. Is there a way to get this work without my concern in the future? Currently if I need to run this command, I need to run SSH and remote the Pi to run this command from my PC. Thank you in advance. Regards, SaiHou

armbian-config has a way to update the kernel within a major version but can one upgrade from 5.15 to 6.1 (current/edge). I assume if not then I have to build my own image? What I am after is jammy or bullseye with 6.1 kernel to support some hardware not supported in 5.15. I know the rolling releases (Lunar/Sid) have this kernel but I need a LTS release with 6.1.

Sorry for a newbie question. I am setting up a raid system based on flash drives on a Orange Pi One and every thing is working fine. I am now thinking of moving from ext4 for F2FS but I can't figure out how to get it to work. I have installed f2fs-tools and managed to format the drive but I can't seem to mount it. I can't seem to run "modprobe f2fs". Does this mean that I need to recombile the kernel or what? I am not intending to boot from f2fs. Just mount the raid system for storage.

Hello, I am runnign armbian 5.05 jessie server on an OrangePi One. I wish to test network audio streams so I installed pulseaudio to do some tests. As long as ALSA works fine with HDMI output, I thought that pulseaudio would work the same, but I was wrong. The basic pulseaudio installation (apt-get install pulseaudio) turned to be a non effective way to obtain pulseaudio support. Actually this is strange because if I set the default pulseaudio sink to analog audio, it works fine (I get no sound but just because the Opi One has no analog connector). When I set the default sink to hdmi audio, I get indiscernible short discharges instead of music and pulseaudio…

hi, I plan to turn my cubietruck IR gateway, and home theater controller. The first thing to do is to be able to decode any remote control can be used with lircmd. But when I use irrecord IRW returns do anything with some remote and works with the other. While in leaving the base configuration (infrared keyboard) there is always something to send. The sunxi ir-limited driver there are thee? The second point is to emit infrared to control my devices and there is little information that is partt LIRC_GPIO seems you abandoned. I watch the IR driver in the mainline kernel and I find that it is very different. I wonder if it would not be helpful to bnackport in lega…

Hi! installed the recent armbian 25 server image on my Odroid HC4. Used armbian 22 before, but microsd was physically damaged. Unfortunately, the board can't reboot! I already tried to apply this solution, which was prescribed for armbian 24 reboot problems, yet it does not seem to help. Any help is appreciated. Although I do not want to downgrade... what is the last stable (=rebootable) armbian for the Odroid HC4? Does anyone know?

Hello, I am interested in armbian for OPi 4 LTS Are there any documentation on how can I add support for this board? I'va seen that OPi 3 LTS was added recently (in beta?) Maybe I can do the simular as the only change is bt/wf and cpu/gpu Regards

when reboot or shutdown the desktop will redisplay, why？who can help me? thanks a lot.

Hey guys... Having a strange issue since a couple of days. We got a couple of new board (10) and all of them are using an eMMC of 64GB. For an unknown reason, some of them are unable to survive after the first update and reboot using the latest armbian 21.08! Either, it's not booting from SPI OR at some point we see strange thing as segfault when trying some program! We try to replace the eMMC but the same eMMC works perfectly in another rockpro64! I also try to install first the old image with kernel 4.4 and it will survive all the time until we upgrade to 5.10 and then it refuse to boot from SPI! EDIT: Did another…

Hi all, I've been reading a lot about VPU acceleration for h264 decoding and encoding. However, it seems that there is not much regarding transcoding (decoding + encoding). I would be interested in decoding 1080p h264 and encoding it back to 720p h264 in realtime. Ideally having that operation on 2 streams in parallel would be great. I've seen that quite some work has been done in cedrus : https://linux-sunxi.org/Cedrus As I can, h264 decoding seems to be supported but encoding is unclear. And there is obviously no comment about running both operations at the same time. Since I would like to run a few tests and maybe help a …

Hello. I have orange pi system with 3 USB-UART converters. After system boot i can find them in /dev as /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2. But after system reboot converters can be not at same positions. Is there any way to make first converter /dev/ttyUSB0, second /dev/ttyUSB1 etc. ?
