I'm trying to create a microSD card to boot Armbian, but first would be inserted into a Windows laptop to edit some configuration. To make the microSD show up in Windows, the first partition must be a FAT partition, and so Linux would be ext4 partion 2. I suspect I'll need to put the /boot partition on the FAT volume, with directions to load from mmcblk1p2. In case it matters, this is a Rock64 without emmc. I've just started this research, but I'd be grateful for any u-boot-savvy person's help here. Thanks.

Hello, For a custom board using the H5 or H3 SoC, i would like to make the Calibration of the DDR3 chip. I think that the available information is very little. I will report here the steps I am taking. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate any information that could be provided to me. Thanks in advance

Hi ! I have a few Orange Pi boards- Zero, One, PC, One Plus, Zero Plus What I would like to know is about overclocking them. I already use 12v fans for cooling. Can someone please guide me how to overclock these boards. I just want to try the capabilities of these boards. Thanks to all the awesome people in advance. Update- Read about how the defaults(clock) are the best. Thanks Armbain. great for dummies like me.

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

Hi, I had Armbian based on kernel 4.19 installed on emmc. It was running pretty good for a long time but recently it was automatically upgraded to kernel 5.3.9 and started to restart while booting. 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

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 …

does not Support .7z files I am using a linux laptop setup sd card

v5.04 / 1.3.2016 section in https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/ says "suspend to RAM and resume by power button works now (consumption less than 0.4W without peripherals)". I'm looking for the board that works "suspend to RAM". I have a NanoPi NEO, but it seems not. Please tell me if "suspend to RAM" works on your board. Thanks. suspend to RAM and wakeup instruction: $ echo mem > /sys/power/state then, press "power key".

Etcher understands zip, gzip, bzip2, and I don't know what all else. But it has no idea what a 7z file is. So I have link in proximity for two of the three binaries I need to get, and the third buried in grey on black text at the bottom of the page where nobody will see it and instead they will feel compelled to go out to find it on their own. Are 7z files really enough smaller than bz2 that it's worth this?

For reason I can't explain here , I had to run a video player at Non-X window OS ( Armbian_5.96_Aml-g12_Ubuntu_bionic_default_5.3.0_server ) at a S905X tv-box. I tried to play a mp4 video ( H.264 + AAC ) at the video player ( mpv ) with drm driver. The quality is just so so. Is there any other driver recommended ? Did Amlogic provide a linux video driver which can hard-decode h.264 ？ Regards !

I have to use older version of armbian which i can get from archive. Unfortunately then i cant get the linux-headers via the armbian-config tool, i.e. the /usr/src directory keeps empty. After update/upgrade it will get the headers but only in the latest version. How to get older kernel AND suitable Header? Thxs,

Hi I'm trying to install kvm on an orangepi pc2. The board starts up with the latest image and works without problem. Doing a: $ sudo apt -y install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system virtinst libosinfo-bin bridge-utils gives: E: Package 'qemu-kvm' has no installation candidate Does anybody know where the best place to go to resolve this?

I have an Odroid N2 connected to my TV via HDMI, 1920x1080. This works with the Ubuntu 18.04 Mate OS. In order to not block my TV for hours making it useless to my family, I would like to use my PC monitor instead (DVI/VGA, resolution 1680x1050). There are two entries in the file boot.ini regarding the resolution and interface. Currently it is set to the default (1920x1080, HDMI). Is it required to change both values to 1680x1050 and DVI or is it just sufficient to change the resolution ? Of course, I'll loose the sound. The result, however, is a headless server running a Nextcloud instance at home, so sound doe…

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"

Hi, I have a USB OTG supported device lets say Orangepi zero. I would like to convert this device as a USB Printer. 1 ) Mimic the connected USB printer (so that the machine thinks it still has the original printer attached) 2 ) Capture the output from the machine 3 ) Send the captured output to the printer.

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

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…

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…

I made a custom A20 board of which sch is very close to lime2 for a project (retrostone2) and I can't use USB0 as a classic USB port. The three USB (0 1 2) are all connected to regular USB type A connectors. No OTG used. However I can't get the USB0 to work. USB1 and USB2 works without issue. But USB0 will not recognize keyboard/any peripheral. I think it's probably because of OTG detect pins. I looked at the DTS, but I am having trouble understanding how OTG is emplemented there, how to unactivate it and just activate a classic USB port. Any ideas?

Hi Is there Armbian for Banana pi p2 zero?

Armbian makes setting up an AP incredibly easy- I'm also enjoying NetworkManager, which I've stayed away from on my desktops until I started development with OPi Zero/Armbian Buster. I'm looking for an automatic, effective way to switch between my AP and a configured wireless network. If the wireless network is not available, I'd like the AP hot spot to run- if the wireless network is available, I'd like to automatically connect and not use the AP. Is anyone aware of a way, possibly even a simple script available that will run @ startup? Thanks- ACR

Hi, I have Orange Pi zero, it runs while loop all time (RF Reader) and it has Flask Web Server which runs all the time. My Orange Pi Zero has 85 degree Temp. It is in the box, I wonder, what if i let device run with this temp, What happens? What about orange pi life span?

After a long time not using my cubietruck i decided to install the new Armbian Buster to it. I installed the xfce gui and now the gui is very very slow. If i move a window it tooks about 1-3 seconds till i see its moved. Complete gui is very juddery. The Task manager in debian buster shows the cpu and memory is not always on 100% although xfce is very slow. How can i fix this? Can it be cause i use a few years old 64gb samsung micro sd? If it's because the cubietruck is too old and slow can you recommend another newer much faster system?

I have several orange pi pc plus using armbian and need to upgrade. I was able to upgrade to bionic but the kernel continued on version 3.4.113-sun8i. How do I upgrade the kernel? I need to upgrade because I will use the docker and it requires a kernel at least with version 3.10

Hello everyone, i'm currently running a Nanopi M4 on Armbian 4.4.190-rk3399 with a DVBSky S960 DVB-S tuner. I always compiled the modules "dvb_usb_dvbsky", "m88ds3103", "ts2020" and "dvb_usb_v2" manually to enable support on Armbian. But since the upgrade to 4.4.190-rk3399, every time I try load the module "dvb_usb_dvbsky" I get a segmentation fault and my board completely locks up.

Hi! I just wanted to ask if somebody knows if the accuracy of the internal temperature sensor (A20 Chip) is defined somewhere? We want to use the temperature sensor in the A20 to generate a heating model for our PCB ..... I actually do not find anything in the datasheets - that's the reason I am asking here... Best regards!

Different trusted USB wifi modules are available at https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ , but my concern is trying to choose between different wireless modes such as 802.11 b or 802.11 n for example and type of wireless connection as access point or ad-hoc. through iw command you might be able to switch between modes and types of wireless connection but it is also related to the usb WIFI module whether it allows such an operation or not ! already purchased a usb wifi module (but not of the trusted ones) and it did not allow me to choose between modes but was able to choose ad-hoc. so does any of these https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ usb WIFI modules …

Not posting everything I've tried, just wanted to ask a question of people experienced with the H3. Does it really support slave I2S in the mainline kernel? I've seen it posted in multiple forums that it does, and the datasheet and user manual says it does, but I can not get it working. Has anyone seen this work in person? I had to hack up the sun4i-i2s.c driver around mclk / bclk generation to make it happy just to even try it, and confirmed that all register settings look good. But the DMA just doesn't seem to transfer data when in clock slave mode. It doesn't seem like any cpu using sun4i-i2s should work in clock slave mode.

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 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.

I’m trying to use a 3.5 LCD (waveshare clone) with ILI9486 + XPT2046 with my orange pi zero. My display is like this. I installed both Debian_buster_next_4.19.59 and Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57 and I followed many guides in here with no success. I edited armbianEnv.txt and added these: overlays=spi-spidev spi-add-cs1 param_spidev_spi_bus=1 param_spidev_spi_cs=1 After that I ran this sudo modprobe fbtft_device custom name=fb_ili9486 gpios=dc:18,reset:2 speed=16000000 busnum=1 rotate=90 and didn’t get any error. I figured that the reset & DC pins on orange pi zero are pin22(GPIO2) and pin18(GPIO18) but I’m not 100% sure about these.…

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).

I have two nano Pi Neo Core boards and one Nano Pi Neo Core 2 Board. On all boards there is a glitch. When I play the audio file at the beginning and at the end, I hear a click. I think it's because of the DAC's on / off switch. Also, at the beginning of playback, the initial sound is lost for about one second. I did echo -1 > /sys/devices/platform/soc/1c22c00.codec/cdc/pmdown_time The initial and final pulses (clicks) disappeared. But there are still small impulses at the beginning and at the end of the playback. There are also small pulses between file playback. For example: aplay file1.wav file2.wav DAPM? How disable it? …

Hello. I purchased A33-OLinuXino board(Olimex Lime A33) and display module LCD-OLinuXino-10 for this board. (I correctly connected the display to the board according to the scheme).

As you can see on the attachd image below, the fdisk -l command, list the mmcblk1 with the right size (7.3 GB), them, i start creating a new partition (n command) and writing the partition table (w command), but once created the new partition never gets to the disk, and a new fdisk -l command shows the disk like it was before. Of course, whithout a partition i can not format the eMMC and can not use nand-sata-install. This doesn't happen with bananapi original images as there was no issue to create the partition and save it to the disk …

before I used the -f option with h3disp, the framebuffer would always take the same size as the display resolution I'm setting. However, since I used the -f option once, if I now use h3disp without the -f option, the framebuffer size remains locked to what I had set before, even if the display resolution changes as requested. How can I set it back so that the framebuffer always takes the proper size when I use h3disp even without the -f option?

Hi, I just got my Orange Pi Zero for a Pihole. Running with a quality PSU and a SanDisk Ultra 16GB A1 card. Everything went perfectly fine, Pihole is the DNS for LAN, while my router handles WAN DNS (DNS over TLS with Cloudflare). I'm concerned a little bit about logging. What do you recommend to keep the sd card safe. I think Pihole is logging to /var/log/ whete running for less than 24 hours I have pihole.log 3MB size, with pihole.log.1 around 2MB. Is there a way to use log2ram for this or a good practice of log rotation, writing to RAM, etc? Your help is welcome!

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone had any experience compiling e2guardian on armbian? I am using a Banana Pi Pro running 4.19.38-sunxi. I am having compilation issues with gcc mostly parameters provided being incorrect (e.g. -V and -mno-sse2). PS - I know there is an e2guardian package already available but I need to one with a specific configuration that doesn't exist in the one in the repo. Thanks

It is not possible to install language packs. by the command "sudo apt-get install language-pack-ru" produces "Unable to locate package language-pack-ru" I tried installing with orange pi zero and orange pi pc, but the result is the same. On Linux Mint PCs, language packs are installed normally.

Last time I tried to update to Buster I noticed OpenMediaVault had issues (due to missing repos I think). But now that OMV 5 has been (apparently) released it should be a non issue upgrading to Buster. Has anyone had isssues upgrading to Buster with OpenMediaVault installed as of recently? Thanks in advance.

I have an Odroid-C1+ running some version of Armbian (I forget the details, exactly) - it's been happily working for a while, but recently that board went dead. I finally got a serial console on it, and captured the output below. Pretty clearly, something is wrong, and it being a cheap flash card, I bet the card itself is going bad. My real question: does anyone have a good suggestion how I can recover anything there is to recover from the SD card before setting up a new one? It's been long enough since I set up this device that I'd prefer not to start from scratch if I can avoid it. I'm not much of a Linux guy (usually NetBSD/MacOS), but I do have a U…

Dear all, My Orange Pi plus 2E was working fine before. I was able to install both the desktop / server version to the eMMC. However, one day I try to run a benchmarch & speedtest script from tocdo.net, the Pi freeze and unable to boot from eMMC ever since. I've tried to boot the Pi with an SD, it's working fine. I tried to format the eMMC - no problem at all, but when I tried to install the OS to the eMMC, it's always stuck at around 55% (for the server version) and 10% (for the desktop version). I try to run the command from URAT, SSH and the local PC itself but not working. Can you advise on this case? Below is the log from URAT: …

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get armbian running on an A20 based board. Been through the wikis (armbian and sunxi-linux) but I get a problem that is hard to figure out (for me).

Hello everyone I have a problem with icecast because I can't get the let's encrypt ssl certificate to work. I have followed several tutorials online, but in the end they were all the same, so I explain what I am doing, to see if someone tells me where I am wrong. I have created a script to concatenate certificates, change ownership and permissions, so that I can run it with cron along with the let's encrypt certbot.

Hi, I am using 4 x 2.5 inch disks in the standard Helios4 enclosure. Instead of Laser cutting the smaller enclosure I created a simple 3D printable bracket for it which I'd like to share.

Most of the time our Arm computer does nothing and the CPU is around 40º, and therefore no fan is needed. But sometimes they work a lot and the fan is really necessary. So I wonder if a 5V fan connected to the gpio pins can be used and that the same board sends power to the fan when for example the CPU exceeds 60 °. And below 60º the orangepi that cuts the current to the fan. Can it be done without external components?

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. …

I see that there are three Armbian supported boards that have mpci (Clearfog, Espressobin, OrangePi 3, did I miss any?) but several boards that DON'T have mpci on them note that they support mpci 4g modem??

Hello everyone I need to record events using a webcam from the console via ssh connection. So I bought an orangepipc2 and a logitech c310 webcam and I started experimenting with ffmpeg and also cvlc. I need to record in HD (1280x720) with audio and minimum 10 frames per second for a duration of an hour or so and if possible in mp4 format with video in libx264 and audio in acc. Disk space is not a problem because I installed armbian (ubuntu 18.04) on an external ssd by usb. The problem is that audio and video are out of sync in cvlc and, in the case of ffmpeg, it gives me several errors and the audio is cut. I have also tried to record audio and vid…

Hi Members, I've installed the latest avaiable image for my lamobo Ri (Debian GNU/Linux 8, Release 4.9.7-sunxi) from: https://www.armbian.com/lamobo-r1/ I need to set the overscan parameters for my display, but can't find the formal used file: script.bin Please by what files/procedures are the values found in script.bin during boot are now replaced? Or does someone knows a newer armbian image for my BPI-R1 ? Regards Wolli

In the notes for the current Buster download, the mac assigned on first boot is supposed to be recorded in the /boot/uEnv.txt. However no such file is in the /boot directory. Do I need to create this file, and make the appropriate entry myself, or is the assigned address stored else where? Thanks for your time. William.

Hello to all, after plug a CDC device (Honeywell 1900 USB scanner), only one USB port on orange pi pc board works, I use 10 orange pi boards, the problem is only present int two of this boards. I notice that when I plug the CDC device alone the other ports not to work, but when I connect the CDC with another devices (mouse, keyboards) the problem is not present. I reinstall the img and the problem persists. The two USB ports not to work anymore.

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?
