I know how to work with GPIO though the /sys interface, but that's not fast enough for my application. Is there a faster interface for working with GPIO on the H3, similar to the fast GPIO on the RPi. I believe fast GPIO on the RPi manipulates GPIO though a memory map interface. Is that possible with the H3. Has anyone done it?

Hi all, I've been doing some stress tests to trigger the watchdog on an Orange Pi Zero and I discovered that i can reliably reproduce a kernel oops with a simple fork bomb on a fresh install of the latest Armbian Buster image (Armbian_20.11_Orangepizero_buster_current_5.8.16.img.xz) Spoiler [ 118.737219] Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP THUMB2 [ 118.742106] Modules linked in: xradio_wlan mac80211 btusb btintel btrtl sun4i_gpadc_iio btbcm industrialio bluetooth sun8i_thermal cfg80211 ecdh_generic rfkill ecc libarc4 sun8i_ce crypto_engine sunxi_cedrus(C) sun8i_di zram uio_pdrv_genirq uio cpufreq_dt usb_f_acm u_serial g_serial libc…

I have installed omv and pi-hole via armbian-config and I can get web access to omv but when I try to get to pihole on my_server_ip/admin I am getting OMV screen red with software failure, as omv web interface seems on the same ip only without webport. So how to get to pi-hole web interface? Cheers

Hi, I'd like to install to USB storage as the eMMC card I have is quite small. As stated in the documentation https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-nand-sata-usb It appears to be quite simple but my question is, I already have everything installed and running, with the software I need etc. Will this pose an issue or should I re-flash and do it straight away? Thanks!

Hey guys, Coming from high level programming such as Java or C#, I'm quite new to mid-level development. I'm working on a project and I was wondering there are any low cost Linux compatible SoC that are guaranteed to have a long term availability for like 5-7 years or more? I've seen the H3, but since it is manufactured by a chinese company, I'm not sure about the availability of this chip on long term. Thanks

Hi all, I'd love to run my sas2008 card on armbian. Im currentky testing the ayufan 0.10.12 build and it is working with my sas cards flawlessly even with sas expanders and 16x hdd attached. https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases On armbian or any other release for that matter there is insufficient boot wait time for to card, i believe these cards take around 400ms to boot with bios rom deleted. The patch provides 1 second wait time. Working kernel patch is here thats been pulled into the above release https://github.com/nuumio/rp64-linux-mainline-kernel/releases any chance of having this incor…

Hello, I have just updated the latest kernel available on my sbc orangepi+2e with the armbian-config tool and after that it no longer boots. After plugging in the serial port it complains "## Executing script at 44000000 Wrong Ramdisk Image Format Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid".

Hi all, Semi-noob here so please be patient :) With the OPi Zero having rubbish WiFi I added a USB WiFi adaptor. I know it works as I've been using it on my OPi One running Retrorangepi. The Zero will be running OctoPrint in a room too far away from the router to run Ethernet cables. To initially set it up I connected the Zero to my router, logged in and disabled the onboard wireless adaptor, plugged in the USB and rebooted. Ran armbian-config and set up a static IP (192.168.1.30). Then I shutdown the Zero and unplugged the Ethernet cable and powered up the Zero again. Lan scan shows the IP address as up but ping shows 100% …

Hi, Hobby-level user here. New to Armbian. Trying to get Nextcloud and PiHole installed and running on my Odroid HC1.

I have an Ubuntu 20.04.06 system where my /var/log zram mount ran out of space. I took a few steps to address this (see below), and after rebooting, /var/log is no longer a zram mount. I've tried to find mentions of zram or ramlog in log files, but can't find anything that looks like an error message. /etc/default/armbian-zram-config and /etc/default/armbian-ramlog both still show they're enabled. Any idea how I can fix ramlog to come back up? - mv auth.log ../log.hdd/auth.log.240912 - mv mail.log ../log.hdd/mail.log.240912 cd ../log.hdd gzip auth.log.240912 gzip mail.log.240912 df -h # df showed /var/log as still full # it …

I'm building a multi-zone music streaming setup built around an SBCs running Snapcast/MPD and this MA12070P board (AliExpress link). From the pinout diagrams it looks like the board is the same as the Merus Audio Amp Hat just with a built in USB-C PD supply (why I want to use this board). If it's a clone then it looks like support is in Raspberry Pi OS, but I want to use the Radxa Zero 3W since I can get it at a similar price point with better specs. This is my first embedded project since ~2019 so a bit out of my depth when it comes to device tree overlays. How would I write a DTO to enable audio output to this device?

Hi I installed the official release on my Z83 mini PC and it boots up great, but when I go to install to the emmc it fails at the U-Boot generation step with the error below. Has anyone seen this before or know a workaround? I did check to see if this was just a red herring error but as the error says the bootloader does not get written. "Error while creating U-Boot loader image with mkimage" "Error: no u-boot package found, exiting." Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello. I have a question not directly related to Armbian, but to Linux in general. I just saw my problem fixed here and can't see how. I have most of my multimedia on samba share in my local home network. In Windows i am able to play videos from this share with directly loaded external subtitles (when available). But from Linux it's not that easy, when open share in file manager (double click). In some cases even video/music/pictures can't load from players with some incorrect path errors, but let's say this worked in most cases and focus on subtitles. For some reason when opening videos in Linux with file manager from samba share, only video loads, not the external subt…

Well, I just bought a CloudShell direct from HarkKernel in South Korea. It was delivered and assembled. However, the LCD display - a major selling point - is non-functional. It appears to require a kernel module specific to the odroid xu4 specific kernel, that isn't available in the stock kernel. I am attempting to compile a 4.x.y kernel from hardkernel sources. So far, 4.14 doesn't appear to work. I want to run Open Media Vault 6, but currently, it only supports Armbian Bullseye, not any Ubuntu, etc. Armbian/OMV works for everything except he LCD. I am attempting to remedy the issue, but it will mean downgrading my kernel, which may ca…

Hi folks, i was running Openmediavault 5 on an BananaPi M1 with Amrbian Buster for years and it worked all fine. Now i "upgraded" to an M2U because of the RAM and real Sata support. I installed the newest stable buster image 20.08 (also tried old ones and the nightly) because OMV does not support bullseye yet. After this, i just did "apt update" and "apt install armbian-config". I have choosen in softy the OMV setup. I also tried it again with the OMV install script for Armbian. In both cases i couldn't install it. I waited with softy almost 24h to install it, but it got stuck (no cpu usage, nothing happens). …

Hello. I have a couple of Chinese 3.5" TFTs, model MPI3508. I'm trying to get it to work with my Orange Pi 3. The module supports either connecting via GPIO or HDMI, either is fine for me.

The module also supports touch, but I don't care about that - I just want to use it as a monitor.. If I use HDMI, I can get a picture, but the resolution is all wrong. It's a 480x320 display but because Chinese manufacturers, it reports itself as having a m…

Hello people, Half a year ago I flashed Armbian to to Mekotronics R58 plastic box, which was then an unofficial version. It's been on the shelf a while. Now I see new Armbian versions for download. I plugged in my device and did an update/upgrade. See Neofetch result below. My question is: is there any reason to completely flash the new version? Or am I already fine? It seems kernal versions are the same! Everything works fine and looks awesome including RealVNC for which I had some work to do. Therefore I am a bit reluctant to ditch the current version. Couple of minor issues I have are can't get Samba working and boot from SSD. Bas …

I think now for the 3rd time this happens. OS is Armbian Bookworm with vendor ,current, edge kernels installed. it turns out that with vendor kenel there is no issue. But fails for mainline based rockchip64 kernels, at least edge. I am not sure about current (6.6 or 6.12) as I am not really using those. I discovered first time with 6.13.0-rc* kernel, I assumed something else might have been wrong, so more or les ignored and rebooted with vendor kernel. That happened both with nanopi-r6c and rock-3a. I also already rebooted the rock-3a on a later occasion just t make sure problem would not occur. Yesterday was on nanopi-r6c with kernel 6.15.1-edge-rockchip64. I…

Hi, I am searching to make a service running automatically at boot. I edited the .bash_profile and I added the command line service.

Could you please help me to let start a procedure at boot? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I recently purchased an ili9488 touch screen for use with my Orange Pi 5, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I've tried several solutions that I found online, but so far nothing has worked. Specifically, the screen isn't displaying any output when I connect it to my Orange Pi 5, and I'm not sure what steps to take next. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQaN4gj - That is the screen I bought. For context,I have the latest version of the Armbian operating system installed. I've followed the instructions that came with the touch screen, and I've also tried several different solutions that I found online (including using the fbset …

Hi. I am digging many things with armbian so I install fresh armbian and many applications so many times. So I am making a long script to install many applications and edit many configuration. When it asked "Yes/On" on text prompt, I use "#echo yes | apt install vim". It works well. But when I install samba, it ask text prompt "yes/no" at first and then with dialog box "yes/no". So I tried "#echo yes | echo no | apt install samba". But it doesn't work. How can I send "yes/no" to dialog box in bash shell??

I'm currently in the process of deciding between the Orange Pi 3B and the Raspberry Pi 4, and i'd love to hear your thoughts. I know that Raspberry Pi has a huge community and a ton of resources, which is super appealing for someone like me who's looking to learn and tinker. The support from the community is definitely a big selling point, especially since I'm just starting out. That said, l'm also considering the Orange Pi because it's much more affordable. The price difference is hard to ignore and l have heard it's a pretty solid option for DlY projects and development. Plus, l'm thinking ahead - l might want to stick with Orange Pi for future projects as well, sin…

Hi, First of all: Thank you for all the great work that you're doing, Igor! I really appreciate it. I think about buying a PCDuino3 Nano board and I'd like to install your Debian Jessie Vanilla kernel image on it. However, the current download page states that NAND support is not implemented yet. Can you tell (approximately) how soon it will be supported? Or are there other ways to install the image to the NAND flash? Thank you in advance!

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

Opening the compiled disk image in a hex editor shows me what I believe is evidence the current u-boot does not have the toc0 flag set: I started by creating a patch file in userpatches: userpatches/u-boot/v2023.10/board_orangepizero2/orangepizero2_toc0.patch diff --git a/configs/orangepi_zero2_defconfig b/configs/orangepi_zero2_defconfig index f13735e91c..31f3c475e4 100644 --- a/configs/orangepi_zero2_defconfig +++ b/configs/orangepi_zero2_defconfig @@ -23,3 +23,4 @@ CONFIG_SPI=y CON…

I'm running Armbian Cli 23.02.2 Jammy with Linux 6.1.11-meson64 on my OdroidC4, I'd like to be able to boot from a USB3.0 SSD, (I'm aware that this board doesn't have SPI flash memory, so you should sacrifice a micro SD to host the system boot) When I run armbian-config and go to the option to "boot from SD - systemd on SATA, USB or NVMe" the process seems to complete all the steps without difficulty, at the end the process asks to reboot, the problem starts here, at perform the reboot the system never boots, it stays in a loop, the SSD flashes led light as if it had activity, the same my odroid c4 flashes blue led light in a loop, but the system never appears by ssh. …

I am looking for alternative working image, better than on official web pages. I know story about Allwinner and its software support but do you know smthing alternative working image?

Hello. I installed armbian (22.05 jammy) on my banana pi m1 (original model). Since it doesn't come with onboard wifi, I decided to attach wifi dongle which uses RTL8188EUS chip. However, although i see it is recognized as "realtek ~~ RTL8188EUS network adapter" when i type 'lsusb' command, it doesn't show up as 'wlan0' when i enter 'ifconfig -a' command. What can I do to make the module work again?

After upgrade two of my boards to mainline (4.14.51-sunxi) I have noticed that simple command apt list basically stopped working. It stuck at "Listing ..." (at this moment 1 core of CPU is utilized in 100%). Now I run it in background to see if eventually it will be completed... So far (15 minutes)... nothing. apt list --installed is also very slow, but after some time it gives results. However, it is much slower than on "default" (3.4.113-sun8i) Can anybody check it and reconfirm?

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.

Hi, i have installed the latest Armbian 23.5 Jammy on my opi+2e and since then, only the top left of the screen is showing text, like if the screen is divided in 4 and only the upper left is showing login screen and text. If I try to install a desktop environment, everything goes full screen, but I see the mouse cursor of login screen overlapped to desktop, so i have two mouse cursors: one fixed and the other that can be moved. WTF is going on? Why don't you test the images before you publish?

I think webrtc is a very interesting feature for such devices. Unfortunately , I only saw a drive ( UV4L : https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=105019) for Raspberry Pi2/Pi3 in linux. Does somebody here have any idea to cross-compile native webrtc source code for such a device ? Regards ! GuoFu Han

Hello, I was running Armbian on my cubietruck, I believe Bionic Ubuntu. I wanted to upgrade to latest kernel, so I did a - apt-get update - apt-get upgrade - ambian-config and selected the lastest kernel And that was it. When rebooting, I end up with a try to contact a tftp server. The cubietruck has an SDCard and an SSD. Is there an easy fix or do I need to reinstall it completely, please? If I need to reinstall, do I have to backup all data, or is existing data preserved? (Traccar installation) Regards, Tomte

QUESTION: I downloaded the BUSTER image (19.11.6 / 5.4.8) .img. In my .GNUPG directory, there is only an empty 'private keys' directory. Is this supposed to be like this or should there be 2 'text' documents next to the 'private keys' directory? One of my former buster downloads from a year ago or so, I know there were 2 simple text documents in the .gnupg directory. I am trying to learn how to send an encrypted message using gpg, but haven't been successful, yet. I was thinking that maybe there is a problem with my .gnupg directory and this is why I'm running into a snag with it. Thank you.

Hi, We are testing our orange pi one in critical external environments like warehouses, manufacturing and other. In some cases, even if the good case there is a misconnection between the sd card and the orange pi one. Connected in ssh i can access the orange pi but a lot of command cannot responde anymore, like ls, top, htop, tail and others. Even the reboot shows me the input-output-error, and the only way to reboot the hardware is using "echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger". When this happens, i tried create a cron with 'at' or background jobs using sh like './script.sh &' with the content "echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger" but still not works. …

In my spi protocol driver I send large buffers of data to be transferred. I am not interested in the data received so I leave the rx_buf as NULL. In the controller driver they have code to implement this use case: https://github.com/allwinner-zh/linux-3.4-sunxi/blob/6964d467510849e3e262518cb87bff7ef92e01f5/drivers/spi/spi-sunxi.c#L1003 However the transfer never completes and the kernel logs a time out for each transfer after 120 seconds. I have tried modifying the driver with various options like disabling the SPI_GC_TP_EN, which pauses transmit when the receive fifo is full, but it has no effect. Finally after hours of futile tinkering I decided to change m…

Hi, I have a neo3 that has been running without any issues for about a year. Today after I had to restart it and the device wouldn't boot anymore. I checked the systemd logs by mounting the sd card in my laptop and I can see that it didn't get to boot at all (as there are no systemd logs after the shutdown). I checked the card for filesystem issues, and it seems to be OK. But I have no idea how to fix this. I really don't want to flash again an image and start from zero as I have a good amount of software installed that would take a lot of time to setup again. If this is a problem with the bootloader, how can I troubleshoot it? I don't have a serial interface so I…

Hi, I've some issues regarding apt pinning, which I've used for a year now without problems, after doing a clean install to Armbian_5.70_Tinkerboard_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.14.

I have two HC1s both running Armbian 10. Both of them respond to uname -r with: 4.14.187-odroidxu4 Yesterday, I rebooted one of them, and immediately started seeing errors. These turned out to be attributable to missing modules. The only directory in /lib/modules was 4.14.198-odroidxu4 which does not match the kernel version. The other HC1 still had a directory /lib/modules/4.14.187-odroidxu4. Prior to the reboot both systems were working. How can this happen? My quick solution was to copy the 4.14.187-odroidxu4 directory from the working HC1 to the failed HC1, which solved the problems, at least for the time being. But what is the correct so…

Hi all, I have a strange problem, when I make any file system changes, I can count to 10, pull out the power, and my changes are lost. My application sometimes requires changing of a settings file, and then quickish disconnection of power by the user (I know its not good, but it's a fact of the product) My current solution is to flush the write cache when I save the settings, I forget the command name, but that isn't ideal as other changes such as logging is lost. I'm using the armbian debian release at the moment. How can I change this write-cache timing to something like 2 seconds? Also, is this an SD-card technology issue or will the issue…

Hello. I created a HotSpot with my Orange Pi Zero H2 with the latest version of Armbian Bionic. Everything seems to work, but I need the access point to reserve dynamic IPs, ie for a device with MAC address XX.XX.XX.XX.XX I have to reserve and then assign a specific IP address XXX.XXX. XXX.XXX. Any idea how to configure this HotSpot? Do I have to add some commands to the hostapd.conf file or what? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello! Really appreciating armbian having good notes on how to get up and running on a specific device. Thanks! I have these wifi cards, RTL8821AE. If I `apt install hostapd` I can get hostapd to start up. If I use `hostapd-realtek` it doesn't. Some of the armbian docs say look for and try '/usr/sbin/hostapd-rt', but I can't figure out how to get that; Maybe that note is out of date? It starts up, but doesn't seem to work.

Are there any commands to show information that could tell me about the level of power consumption ? E.g.: energy saving state of CPU or the like ? On the SBC i am using, i think the power consumption is lower when running the same setup with kernel 5.4, and higher with legacy kernel 4.4. Alas, 5.4 has other problems, so i want to try to figure out what settings/features reduce power consumption in 5.4 and maybe i can then configure them equally in 4.4. This is rockpi4a rockchip3399. If there is nothing generic enough about the topic, i can ask on the forum for that chip.

Dear all, on my ODROID-HC2 Armbian Bullseye installation there is a script /usr/bin/wireguard-manager and I'm curious what this is about at all. In my opinion only wireguard-tools is "ok" to setup a wireguard VPN configuration but no "wireguard" package or such a script which installs a bunch of stuff and weird things. Unfortunately I was new to wireguard and this was my 1st configuration and setup I did. I discovered the mentioned script and executed "wireguard-manager --help" which against my expectation started an installation of different stuff. I didn't cancel this because I was afraid in ending in half-baked misconfigured states. It did "apt …

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
