Hi there, I need to install below libraries on my orange pi lite, on a virtual environment tensorflow 2 keras numpy pandas OrangePi.GPIO does anyone have a armbian image including all these libraries pre-installed. because everytime I try to do it, I face lots of odd errors, mostly for installing tensorflow 2, and installing anyone of libraries on virtual environment.

Hi, We can access port usig eg. echo 1 >/sys/class/leds/green_led/brightness (or red_led) echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/gpio_sw.0/gpio_sw/PA6/data (other ports) My question is as follows: How to access to ports using C language ? Is WiringOP (This method works ) is preferred or another method is better? #define LED 0 wiringPiSetup () ; pinMode (LED, OUTPUT) ; digitalWrite (LED, HIGH) ; // On

Hi guys, I am trying to use TP-Link dongle WN722N v3 as an access point . I am using Nano Pi Neo Core EMMC with expansion board running Armbian Buster with Linux 5.3.9-sunxi . The device can detect wifi signals nearby as seen on nmtui in managed mode . I followed the instructions on https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=25472&sid=84d2b8f1e7ad477e9907591eb7fb030d to configure as access point .

Hi all! Sorry about my English. I just started learning Armbian. Please don't scold me for my ignorance. I have an Orange Pi 3-lts. I installed an "Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi3-lts_bullseye_current_5.15.93" OS on it. Transferred everything to EMMC. Installed Clipper. I started experimenting with the rotation of the display. (everything seems to have turned out as I wanted!) But damn! Wanted more! I wanted the startup process log to not be displayed on the screen when the OS was started. I read somewhere on the Internet: change in armbianenv.txt console = botn on console = serial. I listened and changed. And now I can't manage my OPI. I can't connect via terminal b…

Hello - I have attempted an install of Armbian Stetch on a Pinebook (non HD) with the latest image from https://www.armbian.com/pinebook-a64/. I can power on the pinebook and can SSH in, and have successfully installed to the internal emmc, however the screen does not come on. This pinebook readily works with other OS images I've attempted. I suspect I'm just missing something somewhat obvious, but I can't find reference to this issue elsewhere - how do I enable access via the screen/keyboard on the device itself? Thanks!

A few weeks ago I installed the minimal Armbian Bookworm image on a Odroid M1. The installed kernel was 6.6.31 The current minimal version for this board is 24.5.3 with kernel 6.6.36 After running apt update and apt dist-upgrade the kernel updated to version 6.6.32 which was build more then one month ago. I also used armbian-config to update the firmware in hopes that this covers the kernel as well but I am still stuck with the old kernel. What am I doing wrong? And how can I actually update the entire software, including the kernel to the most recent release without manually reinstallig the entire system?

Hello to everybody and happy holidays... I have a rather simple question..i have installed OOlite but it seems a little old as version and the expansions seems to need newer version...so does anybody knows which is the latest versions that i can install on my Beelink X2 ...? Also as a sidenote when i launch the application the mouse cursor flashes rather annoyingly so if there is a solution to this it would be nice.... TIA

Hi, I have just changed from a custom legacy kernel to armbian and like the experience. I use the Logitech Media Server and squeezelite, mainly to play radio on the armbian box itself as well as on a Squeezebox Radio I still have. This works in principle, but using the spdif optical output, I get an interrupt every minute or so of about half a second. Is this common and do I need to install something in addition to use the spdif output?

Hello armbian friends, I am not really a beginner but I don't find a fitting forum to ask this. Having manually upgraded the first day it was possible to Bullseye, my MOTD and armbian-release got stuck on the old version. Everything runs very very good, I have a very up-to-date kernel and love it. Any chance I can repair my broken MOTD? What did I do wrong when I changed my sources.list and armbian.list? Kind greetings

That's all, really. I appreciate the amount and quality of work that the leaders here generously share with the community. I donated an amount that would buy 6 bottles of my preferred local brew, hoping that the project's accountants will allow at least that tiny drop in the total donation pool to be used to celebrate a little. It's well-earned!

Armbian Buster on Rock Pi 4 longer has libgfortran3 library. Other versions of Buster do have it. Has it been superseded or just went missing? The ham radio weak signal programs use a lot of fortran modules. Thanks Frank

Hi. Overlayroot can't be used on Odroid C1 due to the kernel has no corresponding module. Are there any chances to get it recompiled in your repository with the following module? /lib/modules/5.1.15-odroidc1/kernel/fs/overlayfs/overlay.ko

Hello. I saw all topics about armbian on Q8, Q88 tablets, but some of them are dead with no success, some say, that it is working somehow for someone. I understand, that armbian more tended to be for boards, but come on! There is a huge pile of tablets, that uses same processors, memory, wifi and other chips, and there is a sun5i-a13-q8-tablet.dtb in /boot/dtb of an image of armbian. So, I compiled custom Armbian image using olinuxinoA13 configuration as there wasn't any for q8-tablet. Wrote or burned it with USB Image Writer (I'm on Linux Mint 19 Cinamon) on SD card, mounted it, edited ArmbianEnv.txt line disp_mode=800x480p60. Put SD in tablet, pushed on button... s…

Hello, I'm trying to enable I2C access in U-Boot, for orange PI zero. I've downloaded the Armbian build, and tried to compile with CREATE_PATCHES, exactly like the tutorial here: https://zuckerbude.org/armbian-using-create-patches/ However, the build never stops and waits for me to make changes. I've attached the build log. I *think* I just need to add the following lines to orangepi_zero_defconfig: CONFIG_I2C0_ENABLE=y CONFIG_I2C1_ENABLE=y I guess that would be my next question- is this the proper way to change this config is via CREATE_PATCHES? I tried just changing the defconfig file and re-running c…

Hello everyone, new ARM user here, but long-time GNU/Linux user for about 25 years. I'm trying to install a (preferably debian based) distribution on a newly acquired ARM laptop, a Samsung "galaxy S book" model SM-W767V - this machine is based on qcom's "Snapdragon 8cx" SoC. When i try to boot a generic image (assuming the BIOS/UEFI lists it in the boot menu) it either freezes or reboots at a specific point during the boot process. Where it crashes is always consistent for a specific image, but can differ across different images. The Armbian ones make it past the bootloader and crash at some point during the kernel boot. Has anyone had …

I just wrote the Armbian Ubuntu Jammy Desktop image to an SD HC card and booted up fine with it (although I can only boot if I disconnect the HDMI cable -- when boot up is finished, I can plug it in and use the desktop. That's another story, but I have the same issue with official NanoPi Ubuntu images. Next, I transferred the Armbian OS to the eMMC and indicated that I wanted both the boot and system to be on the eMMC. After transferring the rootfs and getting the Power Off prompt, I powered off, then removed the SD HC card, then attempted to boot. However, when I tried to power on again, the NanoPi went into a reboot loop. Armbian will not boot without t…

Does anybody here have experience with the Beagleboard ? It doesn't seem to be supported on this site. It also seems to be rather old? But it's the only board I can find with open hardware/firmware. Any opinions, hints, ideas, other suggestions for truly open hardware?

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

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

I'm on a Rockpro64 rev2.1 and wanted to use the maximum of the availiable Power of this SoC, so i tried using cpufrequtils and the amrbian config for doing so and noticed two things: I can only set one of my CPU's frequencies and the maximum is 1800 MHz, so i searched this forum for a while and found out how to show the device tree table which is currently loaded(dtc -I fs /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/) and there is one unused mode for both of my CPUs, a 1992 MHz mode for the big chip and a 1512 MHz mode for the small chip, and at this point im stuck. What could i do to load this modes in the cpufrequtils or the armbian config? Spoiler dt…

One of my students told me Armbian no longer accepts donations. Indeed, I see a 'Subscriptions' section, but no longer a Donations link. It's been a while since I looked. When 'subscribing' I guess one could uncheck the automatic renewal, but would that cause trouble for Armbian expecting continuing income? Or should one make the subscription and then cancel? I always encourage my students to support Armbian. I have no clue how many actually have, but feedback is that they would like to make a one-time donation and not a 'subscription.' I dig the subscription idea, but I think Armbian should also have a one time donation link even if it only gets …

Hi, I need to configure a GPIO as input with pullup enabled and tried https://forum.armbian.com/topic/10462-nanopi-neo-2-set-input-pull-up-via-device-tree/ For some reason PIN PG06 is still floating.

I'm fairly new to Linux, so excuse me when I'm asking the obvious. I'm using ARMbian 5.25 stable Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i on a Orange Pi Zero, RTL-SDR and DireWolf When I execute from prompt: rtl_fm -f 144.80M - | direwolf -c sdr.conf -r 24000 -D 1 - Everything starts up as it should. But as I'm planning to use a headless setup, some self sustaining feature after power failure or whatnot is necessary. I figured out how to configure a cronjob and it starts a shell script when the software is not running. In that shellscript I'm using: DWCMD="bash -c 'rtl_fm -f 144.80M - | direwolf -c s…

I am going to have to type a lot of words which I have no idea what they mean.... but here goes. I have bought an Orange Pi 4 LTS and the official touchscreen which goes with it. This connects via a flat ribbon cable into what is called port LCD1. I believe it is MIPI - although have no idea what that means. The screen works perfectly, but is in portrait. I can rotate the screen to landscape with randr or in the gui, but the touch doesn't rotate with it. I tried using xinput (which wasn't installed) and xinput calibrate as well, but neither did anything. I believe that the screen was installed by adding a line in a file cal…

Using my Orange Pi Zero 512 H2 I want wo build a POE-powered display, displaying the current time, time until the bus leaves and ideally some information on bus schedules I can pull from the API of the local bus network. What I currently have is an Orange Pi Zero 512 H2 and a POE injector where I can insert any voltage as it does not run with standard POE voltage. My plan is to buy this e-paper display https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7.5inch_e-Paper_HAT_(B) and have the Orange Pi display a simple HTML page. So my first question is: Would this display run, would it be a good choice for my setup? Are there any similar projects (yes, I searched) that…

I am trying to figure out how to compile and load the Xradio drivers onto an orange pi zero LTS. I am having some troubles with the xradio drivers that came with my image and am hoping that https://github.com/fifteenhex/xradio will add some improvements. There does seem to be some code change so I am remaining optimistic. I am able to compile the drivers with the kernel from https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build but it crashes network manager and a few other modules when I try to modprobe it, I am guessing it is because this kernel is not an armbian kernel. I am trying to get the kernel https://github.com/armbian/build to work, but it doesn't look…

Hi, I got a problem with orange pi zero and audio record latency. What I try to do is to record the audio on orange pi zero, send data to my phone and play it here, but the delay is big(around ~1-1.5s) that's is quite a lot. I've tested it for a few days now and I am sure the delay is on the device. What is interesting sending audio the other way(phone->orange pi zero) has no delay at all(~0.1s). First I tried to use Qt(5.9) and QAudioInput, now I switched to alsa libraries but no results. I also tried to use command line to check this arecord | aplay but still I can hear the delay.

Hi all. I hope I'm posting this in the right section of the forum. I'm looking for an SBC to use as a media center (Kodi) attached to an old CRT TV to watch (among others) german DVB-T2 terrestrial broadcasts. I've set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with OSMC so far and this works well for net content but isn't up to the task of decoding the H.265 TV streams, presumably due to lack of hardware support. So, what I need is an SBC with hardware support for H.265 decoding which also sports a composite video output. Preliminary research leads me to believe that the Orange Pi series of boards should be up to the task and seem well supported by Armbian. However, I'm a bit lo…

Is it possible to change the baud rate of the i2c driver on twi0? It seems to be running slower than twi1 and twi2 at least probing that bus takes much longer. Also are twi1 and 2 routed out somehwere on the Nanopi NEO I don't see where the pinout is documented.

Hi I am referencing below from this closed thread: So currently I set up wifi through an initial ethernet connection, but the issue is when the wifi connection is successfully setup, that connection does not become active until ethernet is unplugged and board rebooted. Wifi is setup through nmcli...is there an option we are missing that is preventing both network interfaces from working simultaneously? currently just using "sudo nmcli dev wifi connect ssid password password"

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.

Hello, I have a lidar scanner, which I already made it work with a USB-TTL serial adapter... with a decoding python program... it works great However, I tried to use one of the serial ports in the pins of my orange Pi zero... UART1, in pins PG6,PG7... I have strange behavior When I test the serial port with picocom or screen, I see the flow of characters: picocom -b 230400 /dev/ttyS1 screen /dev/ttyS1 230400 However, my python program fails to read at the first character. With the python's own miniterm, I get the same error Spoiler roberto@orangepizero:~$ python3 -m serial.tools.mi…

This is on a 4GB NanoPi M4 v1. There are a number of files matching the spec '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_*' but they are all zero bytes, which renders the machine inaccessible by ssh. I'm pretty sure this is happening on every install, I've been troubleshooting and reinstalled several times from the latest image and ssh was not working at any time.

How to run SoftFloat based binary in OrangePiPC ? I have flashed my OrangePiPC with "Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.8.5.img.xz".

I am new to arm devices. I'm trying to build a fully working armbian system for the pcduino8-uno which uses the Allwinner a83t/h8 soc. I know these are not the best, but I got it from amazon for $18 and it runs home assistant very well. I built a new u-boot which appears to initialize the hardware properly as it sees all the usb port as well as obtains an ip from my dhcp server. Using sun8i-a83t-allwinner-h8homlet-v2 as my starting point.. I built a new kernel from 6.1.0-rc6. Everything seems to work properly except the ethernet controller. I can use a usb ethernet dongle, but I would like to get the onboard working Dmesg shows " [ 1.59462…

Hi all, can anyone explain to me how the boot process of an ODROID-HC2 looks in detail, please? for example, my microSD card is /dev/mmcblk1 and it contains only one partition /dev/mmcbl1p1. Questions: a) I think the ODROID-HC2 can exclusively boot from a microSD card, is this correct? Without sdCard the boot process is not possible, right? b) where exactly sits the bootloader? is it in a certain sector of the microSD card and if so where exactly and how long? or does the ODROID-HC2 trying to read at specific addresses and if so where? c) can u-boot only process the first partition of the block device or would it be theoretica…

Is there a way to change the first image after the login in the Olimex A20 Lime 2? Best Reguard

I now have a RockPi4a running Armbian_20.02.0-rc1_Rockpi-4b_bionic_legacy_4.4.210_desktop from eMMC. Now i wanted to see how i most easily can experiment with newer distributions, such as 5.x. The radxa debian images for rockpi4 use a lot of partitions and it was quite easy to reformat the eMMC to have two system partitions, install different linux versions into them, and then configure the boot script to allow booting from different partitions/kernels via serial console and there selecting the desired kernel. In Armbian, it seems booting uses the boot.cmd script to boot the kernel. Is there a simple example of the boot script with a m…

So...I'm trying to find the linux headers for my Banana Pi M1, so I can install Wireguard on it. But seems there's no sanxi headers? Also...no headers for that kernel whatsoever. The generic ones stop at 4.18 then jump to 5.0. Then there's a bunch of raspi and raspi2 headers, and then the misterious to me linux-headers-edge-sunxi 21.05.6, which I guess won't work on mine. Where should I get headers for my Banana Pi? Also just in case, I'm a bit worried about doing something too drastic, since this little thingy is located in another continent. Thanks!

Good morning, I am trying to get a UART to RS485 converter to work on the UART2. The RX Pin is PA1, TX is PA0 and the direction Pin is PA6. How can I activate it in the system, do I have to activate something in the armbianENV.txt? I have overlays = uart2 Some help? Thanks and best regards! Lewis

I just upgraded my Linux Mint from 22.2 to 22.3 "Zena" ...

[ Unsupported build system: 'zena' ] I know that Mint 22.3 was released just last month, but I needed something in the new Linux kernel. I can use Mint 22.2 in another computer (where armbian is working OK)... but what is the typical delay for a new Linux Mint to become supported? Then I tried with …

Hello! Made a kernel update via APT yesterday and now the MOTD is displaying the status warning "No end-user support: built from trunk". The update also broke the scripts used by armbian-config (works after a reinstall though). Is this normal behaviour? I've never seen this MOTD status before. Are unsupported/unstable updates pushed through the stable branch (my sources are configured as "stable main contrib")?

Hello. Some time ago I worked with an LCD display with st7735 driver on my orange pi zero and the kernel 4.19y. I make it work very good following many instructions found in web pages (like this: https://www.instructables.com/Orange-Pi-Zero-Connect-TFT-SPI-ST7735/). But now is not possible to find any image with this kernel in the official download page and, with the new kernel that method does not work when y try to use the modprobe fbtft_device. I've been looking for possible solutions in order to make it work but usually I fail because language is very technical, my knowledge about drivers is superficial and English is not my native language: …

Hi, the hardware in question: PCIe_TO_2-CH_SATA_HAT+ In expectation for the Rock 4D forum to arrive I am posting my issue here: The Rock 4D works and all is well The two SATA drives work over USB to SATA adapters - that is not ideal in the long term IMHO The HAT just arrived and i have no doubt in my mind that it can be defective in any way - i assume it is 100% operational. But when i connect it and plug the power in the Rock 4D boots, everything else works as usual, but the HAT just sits there without any signal. My questions: 1. How do i query the eeprom via the pins 27 & 28 (ID_SD & ID_SC), do i just enable the i2c_6 overlay? …

Hello, Someone up for this? I am trying my best to extend the PPS device tree overlay in order to support additional capabilities of the PPS kernel driver. In particukar, I want to have the "echo" pin working. (The echo pin is supposed to be an output that makes it possible to measure the latency between the pps pulse and the actual kernel timestamp). I have (tried my best) to modify the existing overlay as follows (the PD14 pin in the overlay is modified by the fixup script to be PA6): /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3"; fragment@0 { target = <&pio>; __ove…

I am trying to build an old debian stretch image for checking my BananaPi M3 boards. I had it and Jessie running fine for years, but buster is causing issues with soft boot and reboots failing. So wanted to check the boards integrity with stretch. I have tried git checkout -b v20.02 remotes/origin/v20.02 which I thought was around the right time but I am just getting Buster being offered. I am using Ububtu Jammy for building.

Guys, Hope my thread is correct here. i have an Banana Pi M2 Ultra on my shelf and want to start using it. So when i check the Armbian Hompepage for a propper up-to-date Image i just recognize its not anmyore supported. See here: https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2u/ But then , when i click on "Download from Archives" i see a lots of images for my hardware. But on the other way its says no more support. Confused now... Are the images in Download from archive all unstable or testing ones? Apprechiate if someone could explain. Thanks!

So using the old sysfs (/sys/class/gpio/) interface, you "export" a gpio by spitting the gpio number into /sys/class/gpio/export. The GPIO number depends on the board and relevant documentation. Having once found that I need GPIO number 76, I'm migrating code to the new "gpio character device" interface (/dev/gpiochipn) on my Rock64. However, "gpioinfo" shows that hardly any gpios have useful labels, and Google searches always turn up Raspberry Pi results. So, can I just calculate the new gpio identify? Old gpio is 76, all /dev/gpiochips have 32 lines, 76/32 = 2 rem 12, so old gpio 76 is now /dev/gpiochip2 line 12? Edit: I tried this…

Hello, I have a cubieboard (first one), and i used it with VGA output, by changing script.bin values. Now i installed armbian with vanilla kernel, and realized that i can't use script.bin anymore (since its using device tree blobs). Does anyone know what do i need to change in dtb file to get a working VGA out ? or is there some kernel parameter to override dtb values ? Thanks PS thanks for the great work Igor!

I have a NanoPI M4 hooked up to a Uniroi 1024x600px HDMI screen running Armbian Buster 5.10.43-rockchip64 booting to a console (no X). My issue is, that the console resolution is set to 1024x768px after boot which makes the screen almost unreadable. Can I somehow fix the console resolution to 1024x600 (e.g. by setting some values in armbianEnv.txt or similar)?
