Hi, yesterday i did as usual an apt-get update/upgrade on my Armbian 19.11.3 (on a good old and always well working Bananapi M1). After that the desktop starts, but without showing the taskbar anymore. It was some kind of invisible, when i clicked the the upper left corner, the menu drops down. Unfortunately nearly nothing starts by clicking. The preferences are shown without any icons. Ok, time for a fresh install. I took the latest stable image Armbian Bionic 19.11.6 and put it on a SD card. System starts in console mode, i did all the setup stuff and installed the desktop. But the fresh installed desktop also started without the taskba…

Following a successful deployment of an MCP2515 SPI to CAN device with the great help of https://forum.armbian.com/topic/3588-can-bus-support-orange-pi-zero/ I’ve been looking into using an SPI to CANFD device with the orangePi R1 (H2+ based). (CANFD allows greater bitrate than the “regular” CAN) I am looking into using the driver made for the mcp2517fd/mcp2518fd, which has been submitted but not yet linux mainlined: https://github.com/msperl/linux-rpi/tree/upstream-v5.0-rc3-mcp25xxfd-v6.11/drivers/net/can/spi/mcp25xxfd This driver seems to be functional with the raspberry pi, and an example of PCB and associated overlay can be seen here: https://github.com/…

In the latest image for NanoPi M1 Plus, I enable the analog audio I/O on the card by adding overlays=analog-codec in /boot/armbianEnv.txt But the microphone on the card is disabled by default, because the ALSA control "Mic1 Playback Switch" is set to false by default on the card. Worse still, this mixer control does not appear in the alsamixer GUI, and the only way to set to true is to use the amixer command line utility, for example with: amixer cset name="Mixer Capture Switch" on on I can do this inside a first boot script, and then ALSA will persist the state between reboots. But does not seem ideal, and took me a very long time to …

Hello dear developers and visitors to the forum. I have compiled my core for the opi3 board, but I do not know what to do to test my core. There is little information on the u-boot bootloader and I can’t configure it on my kernel, if I replace the vmlinuz-5.4.7-sunxi64 file, the board does not start, u-boot reports that there is no kernel image. I turn to professionals, please teach me how to work with U-Boot.

Hi, I booted today latest Buster on NanoPi Neo2 plus and I cannot see bluetooth interface working. There is no mention of bluetooth in dmesg. Is this feature even available? Thanks. BR, marek

Hi. I have been trying to install the desktop environment with armbian-config Sytem/ Default : Install desktop with browser and extras and nothing happens. Does anyone have an idea of the problem. Thanks.

Edit: Issue is solved, see here. It's an application problem but according to an extensive Google research this does not seem to be a common problem of Samba, so it might be an integration problem with the environment it is running in. The setup: Armbian 19.11.6 (Debian Buster) running the current kernel on a NanoPi M4V2, offering network shares via Samba. Clients are Windows 10 and a BananaPi running Armbian (Debian Buster 4.19.y kernel) as well. The observation: When downloading (large) files from the Samba share to Windows 10, the download speed very often suddenly drops down to zero and stays on that rate (forever). This can be best…

Hi everyone, I'm an experienced Debian user but it's my first time with Armbian running on an Orange Pi Zero. I'd like to make it a DB node by running MySQL. As there is no MySQL available in the apt repository, I tried MariaDB but during the installation (tried multiple times) I don't get asked for a password and need to run mysql --skip-grant-tables which leads to db failure, permission problems (like root can access without password while all the other users are blocked). Installation from source code fails due to limited memory. How can I seamlessly get mysql-server to work on Armbian?

So i recently bought an Orange Pi 3 and the place where I want to set it up only has a VGA monitor, that's why I decided to buy this generic HDMI to VGA adapter. The adapter works correctly with my laptop but I'm having some issues using it with the Orange Pi 3, the adapter does have video output but it randomly loses the signal and goes to black and after a short time it comes back. I initially suspected it was having some power delivering issues, so I decided to plug in an old MP3 charger I had (500mA) to the micro USB port in the adapter (which is there for this cases, I think), but even with external power connected to the adapter it still loses the signal from time t…

OrangePi Zero headless server Debian Buster with Armbian Linux 4.19.62-sunxi armbianmonitor http://ix.io/26Dp Selected to install Sonarr in armbian-config which completes without error, but armbian-config does not indicate that Sonarr is now installed (i.e., I can still select it and do the whole thing again). Appears that armbian-config installs Sonarr as a service, but it doesn't appear to be running after I reboot (http://192.168.1.99:8989 gives error connection refused). Looks like Sonarr relies on mono, but mono has not been installed at /usr/bin/mono. Did I fail to do some required post-armbian-config steps?

Bad news (if you didnt know), the rockchip bsp kernel is an android kernel. After browsing the sources I found multiple android-only files... Luckly its supported by linux kernel.

hi there we would like to have armbian and android in the same sd card , and access android only from armbian . is it possible to have two partitions each have its own OS and loading android by rebooting from armbian terminal for example ? i have seen a similar case in RetrOrangePi which can switch between armbian and arcade emulator from armbian

I've just downloaded the latest Armbian Buster image with kernel 5.

After the install the we bserver loads the default Nginx page, however after a reboot nothing works. Any thoughts? I'm about to try kernel 4 The same thing happens on Kernel 4. I'm wondering if there was an OMV update that broke the install...

Hi there, First of all, have a nice christmas. Especially you Igor, im still amazed by what armbian is. I'd like to ask a question regarding a problem i'm having. Last two days i've been setting up my rockpi 4 as a replacement server. I had everything configured correctly and working. I left the rock on over night and discovered this morning that i couldn' t connect over SSH and vnc/rdp anymore. Since i couldn't connect and the rock was headless i pulled the power an forced a reboot. After the reboot i could connect to ssh but not over rdp or vnc. My app jump desktop gives the following error: Could not create SSH tunnel. Please make su…

Hello, I have Banana Pi R2 with armbian bionic. Have two wlan cards both USB, both works. But earlier when I used openwrt on x86 my both wlan and lan were bridged and had one IP - which was router IP. Here with armbian wlan hotspot get other IP than armbian itself. Is there any way to change it to bridge? Or best practices is to leave it as is? regards, Maciek

Hi, I am using Armbian 5.90 on an BananaPi as a RTL-TCP server for an RTL-SDR stick which plugs in the USB port. Everything work fine since more than a year. Now since one of the latest updates, the RTL-TCP server doesn't work anymore 24/7. After a while, I can not connect to the server anymore. I studied the logs and it seems, that kernel/udev/upowerd powers off the USB-port where the RTL-SDR stick is plugged. The stick reinitializes, but the binding of the stick to the running server gets lost. There seems to be something new to the kernel/system which cyclically drops the USB connection to my stick. Any ideas, how to …

Hi, I'm using Orange Pi One board for Octoprint, but it's slow sometimes, because of max cpu frequency at 1 GHz. Under full load cpu temp is not higher than 30 °C, so I would like to set higher frequency, but all images looks like their max cpu frequency is just 1 GHz. So, is there any image with higher max cpu frequency? Thanks

What is the supported way, if any, to redirect /var/log.hdd to a directory located on a real HDD drive? One of my systems has an eMMC to boot and operate from, and a HDD hooked up on the USB3 port. "Ideally" I'd like to use only the HDD, but the poor/incomplete USB3 boot support on the Rock64 V2 (with Bionic at least) had me to buy an eMMC and live quietly with it. As it is, I'd like to move out of the eMMC all the data that is either written often, or that it could get bigger with time passing. For the logs, however, I don't think to have found a clean way to support the relocation of /var/log.hdd on a different drive/partition, unless I hack the armbian-raml…

Hi folks, I'm new to the Armbian project. I have an old board (pcduino3nano) that I never managed to get working because I found the built in OS to be lacking and the general linksprite environment poor as compared to that of the RaspberryPi. So I put the pcduino away for awhile and never really got anywhere with it, but recently decided to give it a go again. I found two projects that claim to "officially" support this board (either current or past). Armbian and Fedora for Arm. Because Armbian has EOSd the pcduino family of boards I started with the Fedora project and found that it worked but only as a server/cli the GUI no matter which deskto…

Not sure if this is considered an appropriate request for the Armbian forum, but I'll give it a try. New installation of Buster server 4.19.62-sunxi on OPiZero 512MB, with 32GB SanDisk A1 card. I installed CUPS (and Samba) via armbian-config, added myself to lpadmin; I can access the web interface. "Add printer" sees my Brother HL-2270DW on wifi, but no matter how I add the printer, I get one of a variety of errors when attempting to print a test page. CUPS finds and installs the printer at dnssd://Brother%20HL-2270DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/ but when I print a test page, CUPS says it can't find the printer. So I change the URI to the printer's IP address on m…

Hello, I have the following problem: A custom board (H5) doesn't reboot using the reboot command. Same problem from u-boot using reset command. If you check the log, all is normal for the halt or power off proccess. The problem happens when the board is going to make the power on, it hangs, and you can't see anything using the debug serial. As a solution, i can reset the voltage regulators using a digital GPIO pin. Of this way i am able to reset the board. But i need a soft solution, and of course, if linux itself makes a reboot it should activate the digital GPIO pin in this custom board. So my question is: …

I had collected a log (see attachment), It looks like it was unable to find root partition and this is most likely caused by issue with axp20x_device_probe. Is this a known issue? Is there any remedy? minicom.log

I'm creating this topic to track progress with support for EachLink H6 support.

I am using an Orange pi win plus (Allwinner A64, 2GB ram), running Armbian Bionic with Linux 5.3.9-sunxi64 The board has an 2MB on-board spi flash and I want to flash bootloader in it. The spi flash can be correctly detected in the system (showing /dev/mtdblock0). But the "install" tool in armbian-config can't install the bootloader into the flash. When I selected "Install/Update the bootloader on SPI Flash" and confirmed the warning notice, the tool printed "OK" immidiately and there is actually nothing written to the flash. After using "sudo bash -x armbian-config", I found the tool executed a command: dd if=/usr/lib/linux-u-bo…

How can I make the Orange pi zero board with Ubuntu Bionic broadcast its hostname in the wifi network. When on my windows machine I use Advanced IP Scanner it finds it by the IP address, and its hostname does not appear. Thanks

Dear Sir/Madam, We integrate IR remote with Orange pi lite using Armbian bionic( which apk is available in Orange pi lite website) , we followed the steps which is mentioned in the below link. http://codelectron.com/how-to-setup-infrared-remote-control-in-orange-pi-zero-using-lircd-and-python/ After recording the buttons , if we press the IR remote, we get the wrong output as which we attached. Please check and give the solution.

Hi I am looking to download the u-boot files for my espressobin that should be here: https://dl.armbian.com/espressobin/u-boot/ as pointed out by https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ but they've been giving 404 for a while.

Hey there, has someone got bluetooth working on his Banana Pi M2 Berry? I looked up that the bluetooth chip (ap6212) is connected via UART3, so I changed the "ttyS1" to "ttyS3" in /etc/default/ap6212, but the service 'ap6212' crashes with several input/output errors. While reading about similar problems with different boards I discovered that the ttyS3 / UART3 is not enabled on my device, at least "dmesg | grep ttyS3" does not find anything, while "dmesg | grep ttyS0" and "dmesg | grep ttyS1" does show that these devices are enabled. There adding the lines "overlays=uart3" / "param_uart3_rtscts=1" helped them, but these lin…

Installed desktop, ran start desktop. From there I was back in text mode. Rebooted still no desktop. Tried startx, xinit and, several other start desktop commands from various OS's. I've been working on this for 3 days now. Don't know what I'm missing. I also tried installing lightdm, no change. I could also use the shut down command. Tried everything I could think of there too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hate wasting your bandwidth and time. I'm stuck! I'm done wasting bandwidth and moved to time now. Funny it asks me startx like in (OS name). Wish I knew how to tell it Yes! exactly lol! Thanks in advance ROC-RK3328-CC Armbian 5.98 Renegade

I am experiencing frequent kernel panics with the RockPro64 board and assume it could be a power consumption issue with the SSD (PCIe NVMe M.2). I tested a variety of different SSDs, with the Cruzial P1 being the most reliable. Is it possible to manually throttle an SSD within Armbian, forcing it to consume less power? In my case, peak performance is not really important. This would allow me to further validate my thesis. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I installed both earlier and the latest Armbian stretch service versions. Couldn't boot from the micro SD cards. Tried several different micro SD cards too. Nothing showed through HDMI. The red LED on board was double blinking. The board can boot from all three official images.

Hi all. I'm trying to figure out how to use gstreamer to encode h264 video on Rock64 (Rockchip RK3328). I'm using Armbian Bionic 5.60 (stable Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 4.4.156-rockchip64). I compiled mpp and gstreamer-rockchip from https://github.com/rockchip-linux and installed both, but I'm still missing mpph264enc, how do I get that? gst-inspect-1.0 mpph264enc says: No such element or plugin 'mpph264enc' Many thanks for reading, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, hope you can help me with my issue. I have an Orange Pi Zero+ with an H5 processor. My requirement is to detect when a button is pressed, my input port is PA1 or pin 11, my pin for 3.3V is 17, I'm using the pyA20 library, have also setup this project: https://github.com/herzig/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH5. My code is based on the read_button example (https://github.com/herzig/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH5/blob/master/examples/read_button.py#L46). Bellow I will show the code, but the main problem is that the gpio.input() method is usually returning 0 but every few seconds it returns 1, which is only supposed to happen when button is pressed. I'm a complete newbie in this world so …

Hi, First of all i'm NOT a software developer and i have NO one skill on this kind of board's hardware... I've a good soldering skill, so just for fun i've bought a new RAM module for my OrangePi Zero Board... I've bought a K4B4G1646E-BYMA RAM module and then i've replace the onboard module... All of the work gone fine, the OrangePi Zero still boot and work perfectly, but i was hoping to upgrade the RAM on the board... After the boot, in the welcome screen the, the RAM amount is now 512MB (494MB) and before was 256MB... The RAM amount is now increased, but not like expected... I've choose the K4B4G1646E RAM module because, theoretically, it was a 4GB RAM m…

Hello, i was trying to connect sensors via i2c, and neither wiringPi.h nor i2c-dev.h are comiting Read/Write comands. The file descriptor is given a value, so i think the connection worked, but functions like : i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(FILEDESCRIPTOR, (u_int8_t)REGISTERADRESS) just pop errors. Do you guys have any idea? Thanks for any help! edit: i have also included /linux/i2c.h and the function error persists. "I2C_SMBUS_READ_BYTE_DATA was not declared in this scope"

I am new to Armbian, please bear with me if I am making any wrong steps or assumptions. I installed the armbian bionics for the Asus Tinkerboard. I was expecting the netplan command and the /etc/netplan dir exist, but both are missing. Looks like it's not installed at all. Is there a way to have this working? I am already used to netplan to configure the networks. Thanks - purelight

Hi, I have a USB OTG supported device lets say Orangepi zero.

Hi! Using mainline on custom A20 board with sch very close to lime2, with 2 differences: (- EMAC of lime instead of GMAC of lime2) - AP6210 wifi/bt module on MMC3 with same schematic as cubietruck. Only difference in AP6210 schematic is that : - we use PE1 for WIFI_Enable instead of PH9. - PE0 for wifi_host_wake instead of PH10. BT works OK. Wifi doesn't work. To test the wifi part, we used cubietruck DTS, only patching the parts about PH9 and PH10. BRCMFMAC load without any messages and iwconfig / ifcongif say there is no wireless card. "dmesg | grep brcmfmac" gives no results. nor "dmesg | gr…

how to make orange pi one connect to the internet by rj45 cable with using vnc viewer?

Hi All I was wondering how does Armbian load the /sys/class/thermal_zone folder and the cpufreq in the sysfs on the orange pi zero . Going through the device tree I dont see an entry for thermal_zone as stated in the kernel document.

So I had noticed the current stable version had advanced, I'm just curious if there is any big reasons to go through upgrading? I managed to bumbleF my way through getting Jessie to Stretch months and months ago, long enough to forget most of the process. I kind of halfheartedly tried last night and had quite a few issues (mostly regarding iptables, a sticky DHCP setting, PiHole breaking, among others), restored an SD image I had from April and then update/upgrade through apt to get all the software back to where it was, its working fine again. I'm only using it for some basic stuff limited to PiHole, OpenVPN, miniDLNA, MJPEG stream for my 3d prin…
