Recently we bought several BananaM2+ boards to integrate them into our future fiscal project We are developing software using Armbian Linux Debian-3.4.113-sun8i with standard core, which was chosen as a stable platform. For now we have a problem with integration. Due to our fiscal laws the board should be placed in the fiscal box with no access from outside. Now we are testing the board “on the table†using typical operations (even without loading it by typical cashiers operations) and the temperature rises very high. As a result the board starts switching off processor’s cores leaving only 1 working. We even still haven’t started testing the board placed into…

Hi, I am new at this platform. I want to know is there any difference between BIOS and manual overclocking? Can anyone give me a detail answer?

I have tried many Armbian images with my orange zero 2 but the best I get is the Armbian logo. Can anyone tell me if there is something else does need to be done? With the images from the orangepi page the board works fine, so is not the hardware apparently. Thanks.

Hi, I can't record audio from I2S interface on Lime2 (A20) Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.112. For record the sample 60 sec. (44.1K 16bit) I used this command: arecord -D hw:1,0 -t wav -c 2 -f S16_LE -r 44100 -d 60 test.wav File is success created and recorded, but absolutely nothing sounds. Why I can't write sound?

Hi, what options do I have to access the GPIO from Python3 as a non-root user? I'm building a project based on the Rock Pi S and I have everything working (as root, i2c, GPIO) on the Radxa Ubuntu 18.04 image but as I wanted to future proof the project by using the 5.x kernel. I started with the latest Armbian_20.11_Rockpi-s_focal_current_5.9.10_minimal and enabled the i2c bus from armbianEnv.txt (rk3308-i2c1) (was already active) because the armbian-config didn't work. So I managed to get the oled display to work with the same library (luma.oled) I used on the 4.4 kernel. Then I wanted to install libmraa that I used on 4.4 but noticed was not …

I am currently attempting to compile a device tree overlay, in connection with an OPi Zero 2. But my questions here are of rather general nature (with regards to DT compiling), so I posted it here. ------- Goal: Creating a DT overlay to enable certain hardware currently not working on the board: wifi and HDMI output. Alternatively, compiling a "full" .dtb file for the board, replacing the one currently used during boot. For completeness: In the below I experimented starting from the Armbian_22.08.7_Orangepizero2_bullseye_edge_5.19.16.img.xz image, 406585908 bytes. uname -a: "Linux orangepizero2 5.19.16-sunxi64 #22.0…

Hi dear friends, We are working on a project with nanopc t3 plus. We need to enable USART in this board. In three OS (Linux, Linux kernel , Android) we can not enable this feature. We need an example or sample with USART enabling. Thanks in advance.

I bought OPi 3 with 8 GB emmc, installed Armbian for OPi3, buster version, in the instructions I found a way to transfer the system to emmc - the nand-sata-install command. Then my actions: 1. Without apt update/upgrade try run nand-sata-install. There is only one option in the window that appears - Install/Update the bootloader on SD/ eMMC. Ok > WARNING > ok > done > ok. Reboot without sd > OPi3 not booted. Nothing changed. 2. apt update/upgrade, try run command. Only one option - Install/Update the bootloader on SD/ eMMC. Ok... Nothing changed. What do I do wrong, maybe the version is not that, or do you need to download something? In the …

I'd like to be able to plug my laptop into the USB OTG port and use that serial connection to communicate with an application on the orange pi. The default configuration is to give me a login. What's the correct way to change the getty settings for ttyGS0? Thanks!

Hi, I need to compile armbian to set some kernel modules. Now the compiled kernel is installed and armbian is up. For some reason using armbin-add-overlay results in Missing dtc compiler in kernel headers directory. Please reinstall the kernel headers package I have installed the all packages I have build. . ├── linux-dtb-next-sunxi_5.53_armhf.deb ├── linux-headers-next-sunxi_5.53_armhf.deb ├── linux-image-next-sunxi_5.53_armhf.deb └── linux-u-boot-next-nanopineo_5.53_armhf.deb So the matching kernel headers should be installed.

I am resurrecting a Banana Pi M1 that i've had in the cupboard since new. I've downloaded and installed Armbian 26.2.1 build date 03.02.26 rev 5abb97453. I want to use the SOC as a photo repository for a family member so they can use PhotoSync app to transfer their photos as a home NAS.

Hello, i use your debian images for my orange pies, thank you very much for that every time I log in to one of my miniserver - terminal shows ORANGE ascii art logo and banner with load, temperature, memory and disk space I would like to know how can I change it or at least remove it ? I thought it would be in .bashrc - but nothing there a not even in sshd_config pls can you tell me how you put it there, how to change it or at least remove the ORANGE ascii art (I love the banner, but not fan of ASCII) thank you very much

Hello! I'm building Armbian Images from scratch. So, I want to add my own repository to the repos list and install my packages during Armbian building process. Is it possible to do? Best wishes, Breadlee

Good evening All. I was wondering what is the best method to use an Armbian sd card born for an H3 based board on another board with the same SoC, e.g. Orange Pi 2 image on Orange Pi Lite. With old 3.x kernel it was super easy, just replace the fex file and that's it. Overlays confuse me a fair bit, and the best method I found until now is to specify in armbianEnv.txt the row fdtfile=sun8i-h3-orangepi-lite.dtb to use a sdcard loaded with an Orange Pi 2 image in my Orange Pi Lite. But I cannot find where the board is defined, could anyone point me in the right direction? Best Regards. Christian

Hi, there is a question as selected to install the driver on the linux-3.4.112-sun7i ? I am a beginner and also sorry for my english.

Hello everyone, I have an M2+ and want to change the IP to fixed. So I put these lines in etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.2.30 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.2.254 Than it did not work after a reboot, so I checked and did this change # Wired adapter #1 to Wired adapter #1 but now I can not reach it at all. Please help me out to fix this.

I have changed the sysctl.conf by adding few parameters and it seems that i broke the system now, system is not loading and it's stuck in boot at the following step : [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-ttyGS0.device. [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-ttyS0.device. The question is how i recover my system. Is there anyway to recover the sysctl.conf file or any other way to stop the booting process and login to revert my changes? or another way to fix these timeout messages?

Goodmorning, I'm Tiziano from Italy. I would like to manage all the delicate functions of my reef aquarium through an Orange Pi Lite card. I saw that both the Armbian Buster program and the Armbian Focal program are available for my card, I kindly ask you to understand if there is a fundamental difference between the two and which. I have tried successfully in any case to install and run both programs on the microSD and to start the two programs. The card starts up and the whole procedure is performed correctly. The problem is that in the end I am only asked to choose the "default system command shell" between "bash" and "zsh", no option to start a desktop …

I'm new to boards with linux and this is my very first attempt to install linux systems on board so there might be something that I cannot be aware of. I tried to install armbian v6.12 on the SD card but after I finish configureing the setup, the wifi doesn't work. Unfortunately I have no wires to connet to the board so now it is unable for me to connect the board to the internet. The problem is exactly the same as the post Wifi module AX210 - Orange Pi 5 Plus - Armbian Community Forums. I can see the network controller through `lspci -v`: And the dmesg shows that iwlwifi cannot find suitable version to use: And I indeed have the…

I have a Odroid N2+ whose SD card holder doesn’t seem to work. I have a Supervised HA installation on Debian 12 bookworm booting off a USB HDD. I want to move to armbian with Supervised HA pre-installed. Can I use a USB SDD with the image written on it, boot from it and do a full install on the same SDD?

Maybe this is a little off topic but I am researching and trying to find a PCB designer that can design a custom Allwinner board. Does anyone have any great leads for such a freelanser or firm? Any leads are appreciated. I love the platform and want to incorporate the system in a product I am working on but I realize that I will need to modify the board in order to fit my product. Cheers.

I have setup an Orange Pi Zero with the latest Armbian Stretch to use as an Open Media Vault server and a Pi-Hole (with the Pi-Hole being used as a DHCP server). I installed both from the armbian-config software menu with no problems. However these days I've been getting at random times a very strange issue. I have my Orange Pi Zero set with a static IP address since I am using the Pi-Hole software as a DHCP server for my home network, the problem is that at what seems like at random times it gets a different IP address without me touching anything, the IP is something in the style of 2XX.XXX.XXX.XXX instead of 192.168.1.20 that I have set as static from armbi…

Tried to build making a new git clone of the repository. So far tried to test by building orangepipcplus and orangepiplus2e, both stop in the screen 'Choose image type'. Options selected for both are 'Os image for installation to SD card', 'vendor provided / legacy ..) kernel, 'Debian 8 jessie', 'Image with desktop'environment'. Also, another try to build for nanopineo stopped in the same place. It seems that today's commits (29/12/2016) got something to do with this, I was able to generate images up to yesterday. @Igor, @zador.blood.stained can you please let me know if it works ok with you after today's commits?

Hello guys! I find it very convinient to see the temperature of the NVME drive installed while being logged on via SSH. How can I add the temperature of the drive right under the temperature of the cpu? I added a line: "echo -e "NVMe Drive Temperature: \033[32m$(sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0n1 | grep temperature | sed 's/.*: //;s/ C//')°C\033[0m"" to the file /etc/update-motd.d/10-armbian-header What is the best way to do it?

New user here Quick question re: the "Install to eMMC" script detailed in the getting started guide here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-nand-sata-usb Does it put a fresh install of Armbian onto the eMMC? or Does it move the configured install from the SD card to the eMMC? The situation is that I have a live home server which is in use by the family all the time but is playing up a little so i was going to re-install it. Rather than take it offline and configure the board all in one go which would take a while. I wondered if i could boot from a new SD card and configure it as needed (over a f…

Hi, I have been using Armbian for the Tinker Board S for quite a while and communications with my peripherals using /dev/spidev2.0 had been working fine. I just did a an apt update and then an apt dist-upgrade and now it appears that /dev/spidev2.0 is gone. The /boot/armbianEnv.txt looks fine (untouched) and still has spi2 and spidev2 listed in the overlays. I did see that the dist-upgrade touched the rockchip overlay and I am trying to figure out what changed there. In the meantime, is there a way to get spidev2.0 back? Thanks in advance.

Just started my new odroid HC2 with armbian (Armbian_21.08.1_Odroidxu4_buster_current_5.4.142). However, I could not log in via ssh. I got the message kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer Connection reset by 192.168.0.89 port 22 The reason was, that in /etc/sshd_config PubkeyAuthentication was enabled. After commenting out I was able to login via ssh. I think this should be corrected as it makes no sense. Or at least the documentation should be changed (it says you can do your first login via ssh).

Now if the USB enclosures is not connected, we are stuck in initramfs stage because the UIID partition given in /boot/ArmbianEnv.txt does not exist. I changed the UUID of emmc armbian_root (mmcblk1p1) thinking it would be overmapped with partition of S2 usb enclosure (sda1). It is not the case, it will only boot on emmc , ignoring S2 enclosures when mmcblk1p1 and sda1 shares the same UUID. …

Hi, I upgraded 4.13.16-sunxi to 4.19.47 Seems all went fine. but after reboot the former 4.13.16 kernel is still active. My cubietruck runs sd-card+ssd with system moved to ssd by armbian-config. Maybe the issue has to do with the sd-card/ssd booting sequence? If I have the sd-card/ssd system up and running, will the sd-card be touched with later kernel upgrades too, or just the root system at ssd? Holger armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/1Lit

Hey all, So recently I got myself an Orange Pi Prime so I could attempt to do some SPI flashing through spidev and flashrom.

At first, I used armbian-config to enable the spidev into /boot/armbianEnv.txt then I added param_spidev_spi_bus=0 into armbianEnv.txt I rebooted and the spi device file still doesn't show up, any ideas? I have: went through armbian-config (System -> Hardware -> spi-spidev) added param_spidev_spi_bus=0 to armbianEnv.txt …

Hello, My sunxi_tp_temp always reports the same value (429496576.0). After digging around, it seems like it's not reading the correct registers. According to the H3 datasheet(1), pp 255-258, the thermal sensor base is at 0x01C25000. The data register is at 0x01C25080. Using the mod_mmio.h and sunxi_tp_temp.c as a guide, I wrote a little utility to print the current SoC temp. #include <stdio.h> #include "mod_mmio.h" // improved temperature print utility // GPLv2 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { float reading,celsius,farenheit; reading = (float)mmio_read(0x01c25080); //celsius = (reading - 2794.0) / -14.882; Allwinner H3 datasheet formula cels…

In both Buster and Focal 20.11.1 on helios64 commands directed to a disk increment fields in /proc/diskstats This is incorrect and does not occur in the x86 version of xubuntu Focal 20.04.1. Specifically (see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/iostats.txt for field descriptions.): Check Power Mode increments "number of reads completed" Smart Return Status, Smart Read Data, and Smart Read Log increment "number of reads completed" and "number of sectors read" The smartd disk monitor uses these commands which makes the disk appear to be active to programs like hd-idle. The work-around is to set the inactive interval in hd…

I think I have a bad gc2035 module that I'll soon put aside, but there's something odd I don't understand. Since it's cheap it doesn't merit a lot of attention, but I've got something that doesn't make sense to me. If you understand, please let me know. An image at 800x600 is messed up with horizontal stripe artifacts (fswebcam -r 800x600 -p YUV420P -> foo-800x600.jpg) But an image at 1280x720, while blurry, does not have the stripe artifacts (fswebcam -r 1280x720 -p YUV420P -> foo-1280x720.jpg) Why aren't stripe artifacts in the higher resolution? I thought the sensor was completely trashed, but it produced a halfway decent image when aske…

Greetings, I built armbian with these instructions (https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/#using-our-automated-build-system) I am now wondering: How can I provide specific packages, files, or config to my built image? For instance: I'd like to have the gpio utilities installed, other deb packages I might want, wireless firmware, and even wireless config. Thanks!

Hello all, i feel i may have made a fatal mistake. I was running Armbian Bookworm server on an Orange PI 5 Plus. All was well until the latest update. After updating, I thought i'd checkout what's changed in arbian-config. I enabled rolling releases and rebooted when prompted. Sadly, the OPI5+ now wont boot. Anything I can do? Or do I need to reinstall everything? Thanks in advaced for anyone taking the time to help Shad

Hi, I'd really like to set up an affordable pi hole on my new network. I think I have it narrowed down to three choices, but I'm not sure which to select. There's an orange pi 3 LTS kit available for $61. However, there is a warning listed on that Armbian image regarding the PCIE controller, that I don't understand the implications of. How serious is that problem? For a significantly less I can pick up this android TV box, that has set up tutorials on YouTube for Armbian.

Hi everyone, I have a Helios4 NAS on which I have installed Armbian 5.85. I used the Armbian-Config to install OMV 4.1.23-1 (Arrakis). I used OMV to configure some CMB/CIFS shares which were working properly. I connected to my server via SSH, and performed an apt update/upgrade, and I think this broke my SMB shares. According to my Googling, Debian now uses smbd instead of samba. When I try to access my shares at \\192.168.1.x I get a message that says "The specified network name is no longer available." When I run sudo service smbd status, I get the following: ● smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service; enabled; vendor p…

Hello, I would like to get RT Kernel, but i am not able to do it.

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?

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 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?

hi all, I was looking for some unified os for more "rpi zero" clones and found beautiful armbian; and I am quite new to linux still, longtime/decades windows user; to "dogfood", I am also considering use of armbian on my "tiny-big" uefi-x86 (now NUC10, but got now new amd ryzen7 8845hs gmktec nucbox k8 plus), so I tried as very first setup on that ryzen7 latest armbian "ubuntu gnome" - monitor output is attached, so far so good, although I dont know if everything around usb3/4 is working well (log contains some red messages, dont understand them) - it was only simple install, and I have this comments: https://www.gmktec.com/products/amd-ryzen-7-8845hs-mini-pc…

Hi everyone! I am using https://github.com/armbian/build to prepare my own images for orange pi boards.

The Wi-Fi network was working fine, I saw all the wireless connections. But I did something in the upper right corner of the system (in my opinion, I unchecked the Wi-Fi network) and as a result I can't restore the WiFi network. I only have wired internet now., and in the upper right corner, please help me solve the problem.

Hello, I run my program system as a service in console mode, so no login is needed. The Linux system starts up almost quietly after changes in boot.scr. The only "small" thing that needs a solution is the login prompt. How can I prevent login prompt from appearing? I've tried some autologin options I found for different Linux systems, but they didn't work for me. Any suggestion?

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. …

I installed Armbian 23.02.2 aarch64 running kernel 6.1.11-meson64 on Le Potato and the system is running great with xfce4 as the desktop. Once I shutdown or restart, upon restart to the desktop the monitor is clear from the left side to the middle of the screen but the last 1/3 of the screen on the right is slightly fuzzy like the its out of focus. There was no problem of this upon install and first boot of xfce4. I have tried running Armbian Buster image and it works just fine everytime with no issue the entire screen is crisp and clear. For some reason when I installed bullseye it only works once after initial install and setup and then on is fuzzy on the right 1/3 …

Hi, hardware / OS = OrangePi PC with Armbian 22.04.2 Ubuntu When executing following command "ssh -D 1080 user@domain" the system doesn't create / open ssh port where it should listen too.

Hello, I'm looking to use a Raspberry Pi 5 and usually use Linux Mint. However LM doesn't work on ARM, so I'm looking at other OSes. Raspberry Pi Desktop is nice but needs work for basics like Print Screen etc. Ubuntu installs on RaPi5, so I'm wondering where Armbian fits into the necessity please?

Previously I just edited /etc/network/interfaces (or added file to interfaces.d), but Ubuntu 18.04 uses Netplan now. The old way worked by editing the SD card, so you never had to login into the serial console. I'm not sure if there's a way to do this with Netplan, but this is what I did to get wifi working: Login via serial console or plug in Ethernet (I used the Duo mini shield which has Ethernet port) sudo nano cat /etc/netplan/armbian-default.yaml network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager wifis: wlan0: dhcp4: no addresses: [192.168.1.69/24] gateway4: 192.168…
