hi, I plan to turn my cubietruck IR gateway, and home theater controller. The first thing to do is to be able to decode any remote control can be used with lircmd. But when I use irrecord IRW returns do anything with some remote and works with the other. While in leaving the base configuration (infrared keyboard) there is always something to send. The sunxi ir-limited driver there are thee? The second point is to emit infrared to control my devices and there is little information that is partt LIRC_GPIO seems you abandoned. I watch the IR driver in the mainline kernel and I find that it is very different. I wonder if it would not be helpful to bnackport in lega…

RPi has this interrupt driven GPIO input detection GPIO.add_event_detect(pin_number, GPIO.BOTH, callback=callback_function) Orange Pi has already this python GPIO function https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3 But I see only gpio.input(pin_number) function for GPIO input detection Anybody can answer whether possible to substitute RPi interrupt driven GPIO input detection?

Which is the hardware platform with the most rock-solid hardware for operating Debian with some domotics service running headless 24/7 ? I have no speclia requirements: dual-core & 1GiB RAM, USB and 10/100 Ethernet are ok. Support for main-line kernel easily upgradeble by apt-get is a plus! Any suggestion ? Thanks

Hello Friends, There is a requirement from Client to not run lvextend command if it was run in last 24 hrs. I have tried the following and still havent figured out how to do it, any help will be highly appreciated: 1.] Have tried checking /var/log/messages, dmesg command logs. There are no kern.logs in the server so cannot check that as well. 2.] There is no /var/log/syslog so cannot check that. Also cannot activate logging by modifying lvm2.conf file as there are many servers. 3.] 'history' command only displays 10 commands and that too from current tty. If there are any files which gets added with any volume group changes information please suggest…

Hi, i have ordered complete new Hardware: - Raspberry 5 with 2GB, - USB-C NVME Case with RTL9201 chip and - NVME M.2 SSD: Kingspec NE-128 2280 with 128GB If I attached the M2 Case the SSD will not be detected (sda1) also not on an other PC. So now I don't know, what is defect (Case or SSD). I checked the Setting of the SSD in the case several times. Is there anything else, that I can do?

So I'm fairly new to Armbian (although I have already managed to successfully create a custom build with most of what I need). Sadly, I've very much hit a blocker. I really need to use linux-tools/perf on an RK3588 board with a vendor kernel (I'm using the Mali OpenCL, and the ARM packages are mostly locked) and I need to do some performance tuning. I cannot figure out how to get these tools deployed. 1. There are no linux-tools packages build -- which is fair enough, I'm probably in a minority. Some parts of the tools directories are culled during a cleaning process for the headers, I can see that 2. I am happy to copy over the kernel source and build o…

At first, I used 3.x kernel with Armbian_5.30_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img. This has a problem displaying my hdmi 5inch 800x600 lcd. So I changed the kernel to 4.x with nightly build image, Armbian_5.32.170706_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.8.img. It displays well from u-boot. For x window, I installed Xorg and ubuntu-desktop. When I run startx, it says unable to connect to X server: Connection refused. What should I do for x window? I want to use Chromium.

Hi, I searched around for any new info on the 3rd USB port (header pins next to the 40pin header) and couldn't find anything new than the 2016 post that found its existance, the rest I found was acknowledgement that the H3 has 3 real USB ports, I am trying to enable this port since it seems it isn't enabled by default even in the latest Armbian, how exactly can it be enabled, the whole script.bin change from 2016 got me confused, is it the usb3host option in armbian-config? Edit, spoke too soon, even though the info is missing actually, it was the usb3host in armbian-config>system>hardware, I had the pins the wrong way, D+ is on the outside. Also w…

Hi There! I noticed the EOS for the OrangePi+ and that the OrangePi+ 2 is still supported. Since boards are almost identical, why leave the OrangePi+? And on top of that: when I download the current version, the downloads are the same for both boards.... Or am I missing something?

Hi All, just discovered this great project. Awesome to see it's so well frequented. I'm trying to do some realtime data acquisition on a OPi one with Armbian Debian Stretch. Following on from the link at the bottom, I'm trying to set an interrupt handler in my loadable kernel module onto a seperate core that I've isolated from the normal scheduler (using isolcpus=2,3 in boot.cmd/.scr). I've built the kernel using the Vagrant instructions with the 4.19.50 RT22 realtime patches. But I've also tested with no luck on the standard build from the download page. I'm using the irq_set_affinity_hint in the following manner, but it has no effec…

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.

I'm using an Orange Pi Prime to build a Magic Mirror. The module I'm trying to install is for switching the HDMI on/off with a PIR sensor. The module is called MMM-PIR-Sensor. The readme file it says to execute this command sudo chmod u+s /opt/vc/bin/tvservice && sudo chmod u+s /bin/chvt. The result I get is:chmod: cannot access '/opt/vc/bin/tvservice': No such file or directory. I believe the module is set up for Raspberry pi and the issue I'm having is due to disconnected libraries? Anyways, I'm relatively a novice so any help to figure this thing out is greatly appreciated. The OS I'm using is Armbian 20.02.1. Let me know if there is any other info need…

Hi everybody, I'm using the Armbian Buster mainline based kernel 5.10.y image on https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-plus-2-h3/ but I also tried the Focal one. I searched the forum deeply and I saw that someone in the past (forum post closed, otherwise I would have continued there) managed to have BT working by "faking" the /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin, that boot tries to load having error -2, copying the ap6212/fw_bcm43438a1.bin in its place. But it seems that it only works with legacy images, infact, with my mainline image I keep failing. Which legacy image should I look for? I was thinking that https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero…

Using latest freshly installed Armbian_21.05.1_Orangepipc2_buster_current_5.10.34, then went to armbian-config and installed kernel headers. There were no errors so I thought they now should be there, butl /usr/src is still empty. There is also nothing in the system logs that would indicate an error in installing them. Many thanks for any help.

Hi, I've had orange pi one laying around and also couple of camera modules scrapped over different devices, which only one seems to be the "known" model of ov2640, which is supposed to be supported on linux mainline kernel, but unfortunately no module is compiled into armbian image, so I've had to compiled it solely for the running kernel. After lot of digging into the thing, mostly getting inspiration from this forum and threads about 5640, I've tried crafting overlay, with different results. This is the latest attempt, which created /dev/vide0, but no /dev/media0 is made, and also loading module fails with: [ 5812.695851] ov2640: loading out-of-tree modul…

Using a Realtek 8821CU Bluetooth + Wifi USB adapter. Working fine on stable build jammy with kernel 5.10.123. (current) Using the Armbian->Config->System->Other and selecting the latest 5.15 kernel.

Hi all, SPI has been enabled into /boot/armbianEnv.txt with: overlays=spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 Nothing works knowing that the wiring between device and BPI has been checked more than 3 time.

I just tried to get the dhclient on eth0 to communicate with my ISP (which uses dhcp). On OpenWrt, this works with no problem. However, all I got on the bpi-r2 (eth0) was a 169.x (no answer) address. For the internal network, the dhclient works just fine. I have already tried using eth0 in systemd's network and outside of it (using dhclient). No communication in both cases. ta, t.

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.…

Attempting to install ZFS. But it seems that the latest linux headers are linux-headers-5.10.0-31-arm64. I am not able to install ZFS. Pretty sure I need to lower the kernel to match. sudo modprobe zfs modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.39-current-rockchip64 Installed linux-image-5.10.0.31-arm64. I also sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-5.10.0.31-arm64. But I do not know how to set the kernel to boot. Search tells me to use armbian-config. Had to install it and after running it the "Other" option is missing. There isn't any options to change the kernel.

Hi I would like to add Armbian version to banner after login (eg. v5.10) to be sure that I'm using latest version. Is this value stored somewhere in the filesystem? I already checked: /proc/version /etc/debian_version /etc/os-release but it's not there. I found it in /etc/armbian.txt but this is plain text file and parsing it to fetch the value is a little overkill. Is there a better place where I can find it?

Hi everyone, I have a Helios 4 running Armbian 5.68 I have set up Nextcloud, and everything is working. However, if the server is "cold" it takes several seconds for the page to load. If the server is "hot" then the page loads immediately. I'd like to know if there's anything I can do to keep the page loading at its fastest speed. I'm confident that it's not due to the hard drive going into standby. I have used the command sudo hdparm -S 0 /dev/sda To disable the hard drive going into standby mode, and confirmed that the slow loading still occurs if the hard drive is active/idle with sudo hdparm -C /dev/sda Any s…

I have an N2+ that I'm flashing Debian Buster onto an emm card. Have tried numerous times in several variations -- flash emm, boot system, log in via ssh, set up personal account, "apt update", "apt upgrade", reboot. After that I cannot log in via ssh anymore. I am using the system in headless mode and don't currently have a working serial connection (SiLabs hasn't updated their drivers to Big Sur yet) so I can't tell if the system is booting but ssh isn't working. Anyone know why "apt upgrade" would cause it to not boot or not present an ssh server properly?

I am thinking about the Over-scan on first boot issue and the problems people are having trying to log in if the login questions are off the screen bottom. I under stand it is caused by not having a lot of development into the screen size adjusting software. It is essential that the lead developers prioritize the main Armbian bugs issues and I do not consider on the fly screen resizing a major issue when a stop gap solution could possibly work. My temporary solution would simply be that all logins scripts be tripled. ie.. Login login login: password password password: Enter New Password Enter New Password Enter New Password: S…

Hi guy's, trying to get my hdmi screen to work on some board (not really relevant but board is orangepi on and lcd is "7inch hdmi lcd (c), usb capacitive touch screen, 1024x600, rev 2.1" - the box it came in states brand is "waveshare") with armbian and I'm having issues. I don't care too much of getting screen to work "ideally", having txt console working is all I need. When I turn the board on I see everything properly, background is, as expected black, letters are white + some colors, it starts the booting process, looks for mmc controller, ethernet etc etc.. then it finds the kernel and start loading it and then - puf, the screen is gone... depending on what h3disp op…

Hi , I've got a python script talking to one of the serial port via pyserial. It works fine when I execute using the terminal. If I place it under startup, the behaviour is changed. It doesn't work properly compared former. Has anyone come across this problem. Advise/help is appreciated.

I have an orange pi 2e running armbian 5.31. I wanted to use it as a pihole for blocking advertisements however it seems that it only has a link local address but no IPV6 connection to the internet. pinging 2001:4860:4860::8888 will show destination unreachable: Beyond scope of source address. However I have another PI, windows desktop on the same network than can ping the same IPV6 address. Is there a way to force "enable" IPV6?

I need gc2035+vfe_v4l2 module, but the mainline kernel does not support it. So, how to build armbian with legacy kernel?

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.

Hi! I want to still have original Android in my S905X3 and use some space to Armbian root, but boot can still by SD card. I cant see partitions by fdisk, gdisk or parted. Partitions are managed in DTB?! Thanks.

Hello Everyone! What is the kernel config option that I need to set to enable the VPU driver? Background: I'm using the most current RK3328 RENEGADE armbian image (debian non-desktop) on my ROC-RK3328-CC (Libre Renegade). I've compiled a brand new kernel with the armbian build tool. first, I cloned and compiled gstreamer and it's plugins from Github. Everything works fine but no video acceleration... So then I clone, compile, and install libmali, mpp, gstreamer-rockchip and gstreamer-rockchip-extra, and although the new pluggins are now available to gstreamer (specifically mppvideodec), whenever I try to use mppvideodec, I recieve the following e…

before you start: Armbian already provides kernel build script in armbian build framework, and you can download these packages via `apt` in common cases, you shouldn't build kernel yourself, even you want to build a customer kernel package, you should use armbian build framework. because you can get best supports. so below content is only for experts. prepare source code: 1, stable linux kernel source code: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git 2, armbian build framework, fo…

I burned a xz compressed image of Armbian Focal onto a good SD card using BalenaEtcher as instructed on the Armbian website. I placed it into my NanoPC T4 - which currently boots from the eMMC, and held the boot button while powering on. It tried to boot - but it kept reporting there was no bootloader file and seemed to be trying to load something from the internet, not the SD card. If I dont press the boot button, it simply ignores the SD card and boots from eMMC. I reburned the SD card several times, and each time it verified fine. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

Hi everyone. FIrst of all, i need to thank this community, you need to be congratulated for the effort you all make to this project. When i restart my router, the wlan0 of my opi zero 2 stops, no network with "nmcli dev wifi" appears. I've already tried restarting the service with "sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager", disable IPv6 and also installing latest armbian-firmware-full.deb, but it still the same. I'm only able to resolve it with a reboot. Previously I used Debian and this did not happen. I'm using this linux version (4.9.318-legacy-sun50iw9) because of compatibility with the SPI LCD TFT display that I'm using. From what I researched here on the …

I downloaded Armbian_25.5.1_Nanopi-r6s_trixie_current_6.12.32_minimal.img.xz and used unxz to uncompress it. Then I wrote it to a flash drive using: sudo dd if=Armbian_25.5.1_Nanopi-r6s_trixie_current_6.12.32_minimal.img of=/dev/rdisk4 bs=4194304 status=progress sync When I put the SD card in the slot, the heartbeat LED runs, the keyboard initializes, the LED light for the connected LAN lights green, but I get nothing on the monitor (HDMI). The SD cards are amazon basics 64GB Class 10 U3 A2 cards. I tried two different cards and got the same results. I just tried Debian from FriendlyElec, and that worked using the same cards and me…

How is it possible to add the second wireless interface bound to the same physical WiFi adapter? This question is brought up from the following thread : http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1346-howto-create-software-wireless-access-point/ This was already discussed. I and Igor disabled second interface in Makefile before building it, because it is confusing for most users (at least from my point of view). Talking how to rebuild driver with this option enabled is off topic... --- I am running Armbian on OPI+ and BPI. How is it possible to add the second wireless interface bound to the same physical WiFi adapter? The goal is to configure…

Hello there I have had great success using Armbian as a base OS to run my commercial application. Finally free of Microsoft Windows CE However the time is now at hand when I need to clean things up before it goes out in the field. As far as possible I need to hide some stuff and one of the things I need to do is as follows: 1. Disable (or hide- I prefer this as it is needs to be re-enabled if we have problems) the text that scrolls during boot. 2. Change the black background with the Armbian logo in the middle. I preferably want to change this to our own logo and some custom text, retaining the Armbian logo at a different position. I suspect thi…

For compatibility reason I'd like to have an NTFS data partition as partition 1 and the ext4 system partition as partition 2. I achieved this with debian installer, but I fail doing so using armbian. Can you tell me how to achive this for armbian? My idea was to copy the prepared partition from armbian-SD-image to partition 2 and configure u boot to start from there, but I failed in doing so... thank you

Hi I am looking for tips on how to install OpenCL on RockPro64 running headless Armbian_20.05.4_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.4.46. I don't want to install Xorg, just OpenCL for crypto mining benchmarks.

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a way to read the values of the LRADC0 and LRADC1 of the A20. Those ADC are usually used for android-style buttons (labeled "VOL+", "VOL-", "MENU", "SEARCH", "HOME", "ESC" and "ENTER") which are connected to a low-resolution ADC via a resistor network. But I want to use the ADC for another purpose and I just need to read values between 0 and 63. Now it seems there is already a driver which let you setup the android-style buttons in the DTS (as can be seen in this patch) But I can't find the code of this driver, which I could use as a template. Any idea how to find the driver ? Or…

I am trying to set up a WiFi access point on Hummingboard 2 which has Armbian Bionic. I am having trouble setting up WiFi AP on the HummingBoard 2.

Hello all, I wanted to start using the camera on my RockPI 4B today, but unfortunately I can't find an entry for it under "armbian-config" and under "boot/config*" I personally can't clearly identify the setting/parameter for it.

Hi, I am a Grade 12 STEM Student, and right now I need someone's help on our Investigatory Project.

Due to systemd, Journal is going to replace all journals sooner or later, it's already one of the busiest journaling on the sytem. The logs are binary and can't be rotated like text logs, they are already compressed and can't be read by text editor, instead only by journalctl. Thus, in /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-ramlog , the directory /var/log/journal is excluded from standard log rotation and copying to HDD. Instead, it is copied once to /var/log.hdd/journal and a soft-link is created: /var/log/journal pointing to -> /var/log.hdd/journal . The RAM logging was introduced to spare the SD card, preventing many write actions that wear the SD card qui…

Hi, I'm new to this game,being mostly a (French) software dev doing backend Node.js. Recently I bought a 21.5" Android kiosk display from Beelta, the T2100AA, to build a custom kiosk for my company. The Android build is bloated, so I wanted something cleaner. I started looking into porting Armbian to this display. Inside there's an SBC identified as a Shimeta AIoT-3568A. There's no Linux support for this board, and the manufacturer wasn't willing to provide any documentation. I started digging with Claude and worked through most of the blockers in under a day. Here's what I found — and possibly a path forward for other Shimeta-based boards too (more on…

Hello, I have an old PCduino 3 that I would like to return to a more dignified life. But I see that it is currently considered as EOS so it will not have an update to Bionic or Stretch. But is it possible to do it unofficially with Armbian build?, if not, can I at least update it from Xenial to Bionic without breaking everything?

It definitely is not connected.

Hello, i tried to set up a little samba server with armbian on a odroid c2. If i use only the sd card, without any external storage, the system works fine, but if i connect any usb storage to the odroid c2, the system is booting into a bootloop or stops booting If i connect the usb storage after the first bios display, the system boot is fine. I think, the bootloader is trying to boot from the usp storage after detecting this, so is there an option to modify the bootloader, so it is only trying to boot from the pluged in sd card?
