Hi guys, we are working on custom board based on A20, similar to Olinuxino MICRO. Our firmware is Buildroot based, with enabled Cryptodev and openssl with -DHAVE_CRYPTODEV, -DUSE_CRYPTODEV_DIGESTS. I know that we should not expect a drastic performance gain, but I wonder if this thing works at all, since I do not see any load on system level while the user space process still utilizes 100% of CPU on one core. Yes, openssl performance test reports some better numbers after "modprobe cryptodev", but not so good as other people report. I suspect that something is missing. I do not see interrupts with number assigned to crypto-engine in dts. crypto: crypto-engine@1c…

Hi, need some help here. I'm running an orangepiwin: root@orangepiwin:~# uname -a Linux orangepiwin 3.10.107-pine64 #11 SMP PREEMPT Sun Feb 11 19:22:44 CET 2018 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux I try to use it for my 3d printers, by using a thing like octoprint or repetier server. I woud prefer repetier as due to its smaller footprint. I have issues to etsablish usb communication - it works fine on raspbrian on an rasppi3, so I guess the printer(s) are fine. I think this is related to the USB communication, I can see that the printer is detected. root@orangepiwin:~# ls -la /dev/ttyU* crw-rw---- …

Hi , I have an ASUS Tinker board S and I installed Armbian 5.54. How can I increase the default ( 1 GB ) swap space ? Thanks, see you.

Hello, please, 1. how does nand-sata-install work in case my Armbian on microSD card is read-only mode? 2. Will nand-sata-install copy whole card to emmc or do I need to have read-write system on microSD card before I execute command? (I mean if it copy my OS from card properly and it will be also in read-only mode on emmc) 3. And I am I able somehow to write system to emmc from *.img file stored on sd card? Many thanks

I use this method and it works like a charm: void setup(){ pinMode(0,INPUT); pinMode(1,INPUT); } void loop(){ } Just upload this code, and connect GND to GND, TX to RX and RX to TX, then connect your Arduino to your computer, it will get a name like COM3, connect that com port, and you're in! You can also use PuTTY for connecting to the com port. Spoiler

I don't have a fiber/fast internet connection, and I get around 200kb/s download speed when I use normal apt or apt-get. But apt-fast accelerates download speeds significantly. I go up to 1MB/s using it (I set max connections option to 16 while installing it, you'll know what I mean when you try to install it using apt-add-repository, of course, if you don't know). So I suggest you to use apt-fast in "armbian-config" or any system utility. This suggestion goes to the developers. So that we (users with no good internet connection) can update the system or install the desktop environment a lot faster and easier.

Hi guys, first of all I want to thank all of the users so far contributing to these armbian images. The images are extremely stable and my personally preffered platform for Smart Home installations. Unfortunately started using the 1-Wire BUS I am experiencing issues with the current kernel. At least this is what syslog entries let me assume. Everything seems fine for some hours or sometimes even days. Then suddenly (often at night) the USB Hostadapter seems to get disconnected and the system need to be rebooted completely to get 1-Wire to work again. I already searched the net a bit and found many users having those issues with several …

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.

Hi, 1st - thanks for your wonderful job. I really like using Armbian. I have setup a few small nanopi neo's with spotify / airplay / Bluetooth to play music via Echo-Dots with line in connected speakers. Now I would like to make this setup as stable as it can be., so I was thinking about making those SD cards read only. What I got from here - on the old kernel 3.4 there is an option - apt-get install overlayroot.

I have several rock64, rpi, and opi boards but only one ftdi232 serial adapter. Since not each board has hdmi output or in some cases it is buggy a serial connection is the only way for me to see what's going on. If I remove the adapter from a running board and plug it in immediately again I still get serial output, however, if I plug it in after a while I don't get any output. Any ideas what could be the reason and how to fix this?

Hi guys, I am using bluetooth (AP6212) and it works pretty well. After several hour of open connection I lost signal and need to reconnect. But I can't. Bluetoothctl returns "No default controller available", however one minute before it worked I tried to restart bluetooth service, rfkill (soft and hardware does not lock anything) , but the problem still exist. Only reboot can back the module to work. Is there any other way to restart the module without reboot?

I was hoping to use the same type of backups for my Armbian Minecraft Server as I currently use for my RASPBX system which uses Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi 3 and sucessfully updates a backup of the entire SD card every night. I successfully modified and ported the RASPBX-BACKUP script to other Raspberry Pi's I have that are fulfilling other tasks and they also make backups just fine. The are also running Raspbian. I ported to my Le Potato running Armbian and when I try to run the initial backup it chokes with the following errors: rsync: symlink "/media/bkup/boot/dtb" -> "dtb-4.14.52-meson64" failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: symlink "/media/bkup/boot/uI…

I am using Armbian 4.14 kernel on a custom board. As soon as the boards boots up I get a lot of oops and memory address fault. Software works on another board that use same memory and mtest always succeeds on faulty board even with complementary patterns. I have got the feedback that this new memory belongs to the newest revision level so SDRAM parameters needs to be updated. However I am using the 4.14 kernel so .fex configuration is not taken into consideration by the kernel, although initialize the SDRAM controller is bootloader->SPL's duty. Anyone knows how to update SDRAM parameters without using .fex config file or compile u-boot and SP…

Hi, During the development time I keep trying and flashing the SD card all the time. Is there a way I can flash the SD card without taking out from the board with my board is connected to the computer?

If you have ever compiled buildroot from Amlogic, please help me. I am trying to learn develop app on amlogic based device. First I was getting compile error on 64bit Ubuntu 16.04. Something like this.

Just recently started getting ICE when building large C/C++ code using both GCC and CLANG. I suppose memory is failing in some way related to HW. On x86 Ubuntu I have memtest86+ in GRUB, but how do I test for memory errors on Armbian? I tried memtester and stressapptest but they test only part of memory, and so far don't show any errors, does something similar to memtest86+ exist for ARM?

My headless Orange Pi Zero Plus was configured to boot from a powered external USB2 drive with 3 partitions, a 48Gb linux partition populated by armbian-config, a 4Gb swap partition and a 800Gb NTFS data partition (shared by Samba). The setup is stable and works beautifully when powered up from the powered off state. The Pi fails to start when I reboot it. I suspect that the USB port or drive or both need some kind of reset when a reboot occurs. Has anybody encountered this problem? Is there a known solution?

@TonyMac32 I have bought a Firefly-RK3399 from firefly ( http://shop.t-firefly.com/goods.php?id=45 ). I did not realize it at the time of purchase, but the Mosfets are unable to provide sufficient power for the board plus the USB ports, EDP connector, MIPI-CSI interface, M.2 slot, etc. I really love the IO of the board and want to try to find a way to get it to work (plus I don't have the money to go trying out more boards ). Would your idea help such a board? Thanks!

Hi At the beginning I would like to say hi. I do not know English well, so please be patient. I will try to describe my problem. I have a Nanopi K2 and a Waveshare 7 LCD HDMI (C) display. After connecting and starting Nanopi, nothing is displayed. It seems to me that the computer can not properly start. When I turn on the Nanopi and the system will load, then I connect the display and it works correctly. Picture and touch work. What could be the reason? Where to start? Regards Trebor

Hello! In the process of setting up the settings in my new Armbian Bionic install on a 16 GByte installed MicroSD, I tried to set the clock preferences in the XFCE4 but as soon as I close the preferences application, it reverts to an invalid state and the clock disappears. It wasn't a fresh MicroSD and I'm concerned that it's trying to "save on a bad sector" or something when I set up the preferences. Is there a way I can test for the possibility that my MicroSD is wearing out? The power supply I'm using came with the board and has been adequate for all other OS uses. It may just be a file permission bug or something needing a "sudo". Either way, I'm conc…

I've built the latest armbian (5.48 & 5.46) for all the different versions (default, next & dev) and they all have issues starting the wifi ! If i manually do an ifdown/ifup it usually comes up (say 80% of the time) I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this issue or is it just me ..... Thanks, TB

After upgrade two of my boards to mainline (4.14.51-sunxi) I have noticed that simple command apt list basically stopped working. It stuck at "Listing ..." (at this moment 1 core of CPU is utilized in 100%). Now I run it in background to see if eventually it will be completed... So far (15 minutes)... nothing. apt list --installed is also very slow, but after some time it gives results. However, it is much slower than on "default" (3.4.113-sun8i) Can anybody check it and reconfirm?

Since some H2 and H3's run hotter than some people would like, and people are measuring voltages etc I thought I'd make the following warnings for your benefit in the hope that we collect quality data and solve all challenges quickly. Measuring voltage accurately Your DMM (digital multimeter) may lie to you. Measure the input voltage as well as the test voltages before posting voltage readings. Check with the resistance setting that the resistance of your probes touching each other is close to 0 ohms. I own many DMM's and one of them reports horribly inaccurate voltages when the 9v battery is near or less than 8v. If your DMM sucks, buy a better one (link at botto…

Hi all, Semi-noob here so please be patient :) With the OPi Zero having rubbish WiFi I added a USB WiFi adaptor. I know it works as I've been using it on my OPi One running Retrorangepi.

To initially set it up I connected the Zero to my router, logged in and disabled the onboard wireless adaptor, plugged in the USB and rebooted.

Hi, I'm trying to use orange Pi PC+ as router with AWUS036ACS rtl8811au wireless card. I did benchmarks on PC with ubuntu 16.04 and driver from github (8812au version 4.3.20-beta).

After reading several threads without success I need to ask again how I can get permission as a "normal" user to use the GPIO pins via my python script: #!/usr/bin/python import time PIN_NUM = 200 print "GPIO %s" % PIN_NUM try: # check to see if the pin is already exported open(''.join(['/sys/class/gpio/gpio',str(PIN_NUM),'/direction'])).read() except: # it isn't, so export it open('/sys/class/gpio/export', 'w').write(str(PIN_NUM)) # set gpiochip198 to output open(''.join(['/sys/class/gpio/gpio',str(PIN_NUM),'/direction']), 'w').write('out') for i in range(1000): open(''.join(['/sys/class/gpio/gpio',str(PIN_NUM),'/value']), 'w').write("1") t…

Some one can help me to find old version of Armbian? I need Armbian 5.24 jessie 3.4.113. Please help, thanks for advance.

Minor tweak. I don't have gethostname() (Actually I think that's a C function, not an executable.) Anyway my Rock64 didn't show up my wifi network by name. In /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf I changed: #send host-name = gethostname(); send host-name = $HOSTNAME; Now it works. And $HOSTNAME is just whatever's in /etc/hostname so you may need to change it if you've got 2 or more machines of the same kind. I mostly lug around a cell phone and I can ftp or ssh to rock64 from anywhere in the house.

Hello I am new to Nanopi m1 plus development board. I followed the instruction as on friendlyarm's wiki page. I loaded the image from my Ubuntu OS and connected my device to the pc. The blue led was blinking normally. I used Putty to view the logs.

I bought that DAC to my OPi - I tought it will be easier. I've configure PCM and TWI in FEX file (IIS works perfect on oscilloscope). Also I've made mods on DAC's board - Raspberry has PCM at other pins. But SPDIF still not working. I suppose, that WM8804 is in software mode, so I have to config it via IIC. My 3.4.113 Armbian doesn't have driver for that DAC. What can I do?

Hi to all! I am using Orange PC Plus and wanted to connect small display to it. I wanted to have display as ready device : in casing, with power etc. So I bought this one Aliexpress link It has HDMI, VGA and A/V input and for 35-45 USD only. Resolution (described) - 1024*600/800*480 Works with Raspberry Pi3 OK! But I need linux board with built-in eMMC memory. So I bought Orange PC plus. But it does not cooperate with this display in any modes, avaliable in h3disp (including 800*480). Also it doesnt work via my HDMI to VGA converter and A/V input is not compatible too. May be somebody have some experi…

Hi, I would like to start a new project based on the RK3036 (such as Anycast) with some enhancements. What do I need to do in order to get the firmware? Is there open source the get the source code? Do I need to pay royalties? Thanks, Yehuda

Hi All, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 as my OS system and i.MX6DL SabreSD as my cpu. I build my linux kernel with Yocto Project. Now I'm trying to protect the root filesystem with Overlayroot. I installed the overlayroot by using apt-get as below. sudo apt-get install overlayroot According some research, its lead me to modify "/etc/overlayroot.conf" to enable overlayroot. So here I tried to add the line at the bottom. overlayroot="tmpfs:swap=1,recurse=0" Then I reboot the system. After that I tried to check if there was any overlayroot mounted with command `mount` when get into system. But there was nothing h…

heya i have armbian with kernel 4.14.18-sunxi i think its latest one. I want options, is there any other kernels, i dont mind if it 3-party but i need a stable one. i do have other board running on kernel 3.x and there is no problems, but also that one is not running svxlink. only after using that software the crashes started to come. problem is i got crash every few days on nanopi and i think is kernel issue. i use board mainly for ham radio things i have there running svxlink and mmdvmhost only. it get crashed every few days, only way to recover is power cycle, then it works again couple days. i managed however put console wire there and screen on …

Hi, I bought a OrangePi Zero, burned the latest image on a good SD card, and started it. I bought a hat with a video output, but I don't have the right cables yet. So... I'm trying to set it up without any display for the time being. It looks like the port 22 is not opened, or any other ports, depending on the nmap command I use: $ nmap -sS -O -PI -PT 192.168.0.15 Starting Nmap 7.50 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-06-01 07:33 ope Note: Host seems down.

Tried following this guide https://forum.armbian.com/topic/4174-full-root-filesystem-encryption-on-an-armbianorange-pi-pc-2-system/ to encrypt the root file system of a OPI R1. The system would boot to starting kernel and then just stay there. Any Ideas???

Hi, My system has install and setting a lot, wan to read back all of from sd(8GB) card. Actually system capacity around 2GB, using windisk32 to backup image still 8GB So there any way to do image backup and capacity around 2GB. thanks

hi: I want to use my orange pi to control some network devices which has rs232 console port. so I enable uart1 as 2 pin mode, and buy some rs232-ttl converter board. then I found these rs232-ttl converters is not working under my situation. they do work when I use my PC to control orange pi (so this is RS232 -> TTL). they don't work when I use my orange pi to control rs232 device (so this is TTL-> RS232, not working). it seems there is something difference between RS232->TTL and TTL->RS232. now I wonder if TTL->RS232 possible? or I need enable 4 pin mode and find another kind of converter for the work? thanks a …

Hi.

We had a power outage the other day and though I have UPS coverage on all my computers, TV's, switches, router and Arm boards I forgot to shut down the ARM boards gracefully before shutting off the UPS that protects them. Later, all my PI's booted back up just fine but my Le Potato is not responding. I verified that the SD card still shows a Linux system but am not sure what all to look at to repair boot problems. I tested the Le Potato with another fresh Armbian install and it booted up just fine so the hardware is not an issue. I am lamenting not having made a backup of the card before this happened but was still tweaking stuff and didn't think about it (next time I…

I recently had a sopine module start to fail on me. The symptom was most boots would fail partway through the boot. It would just stop, serial console output stops, the board powers off. Note that this is identical to lower power but in this case was not (I have multiple sopine modules and work with them daily). I successfully mitigated this issue by underclocking. Specifically I did three things: Underclocking in U-Boot I added the following line to `/boot/boot.cmd` and compiled the file: mw 0x1c20000 0x80000900 Per the Allwinner A64 manual (p84), this sets the CPU to the lowest clock speed possible: 240MHz. The formula use…

Hello there! Maybe mine is a bit of a newbie question so I'll drop it here: My cubox is set as an access point using an Edimax EW7822UAC dongle although it is only in AC mode. Is there a way to set it to run also as a N ap or it requires another usb dongle? Thank you guys

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…

I'm currently designing a PCB which will use a nanopi duo board. Unfortunately it is not in stock at the moment so I can't order one yet to verify some measurements. Can someone (@guidol or @larry bank maybe?) who has one sitting on their desk please give me the following info; - Distance between headers. Total width is 1" so I guessed 0.9"... Is this correct? - length of the pin headers. So I know how high it will sit on the PCB - total height of the pins + PCB - is there anything on the bottom PCB which is higher than the plastic on the pin headers? In other words; can I push the whole module all the way down to a PCB and then only have …

Hello, I am an brand new Orange Pi user. I download the Lubuntu_1404_For_OrangePi_v1_0_0.tar image from their site. untried it and made an image to a 8G micro SD card. Now I connected the HTML and started it up, all I got are the yellow and green LCDs lite up, then nothing happens, Are there some additional steps I am not doing? Thanks.

Both my Orange Pi Pc and Orange Pi Zero have horrifically slow/laggy/issues with SSH. Random drops, connection issues, and EXTREME lagginess with keyboard input. Sometimes the session will "freeze" randomly. This is after re-installation on fresh SD cards that work well otherwise. Power supplies have been used before with same boards and same SD cards, but after re-installation of various armbian installations, it's laggy. I'm not even sure which version I started with initially with my orange pi zero which I had first, but I had upgraded and upgraded and upgraded through versions...and figured a fresh install couldn't hurt. It hurt. Th…

Hello, i have Waveshare 10.1 lcd and trying to get USB touch working. On mainline it is working out of the box, but on legacy its not working at all. With dmesg i can see that the device is recognized and hid-multitouch is using it, i can even see the device is working through xxd -c 11 /dev/hidraw3 but the touch doesnt work in the system. Does anyone have working solution to this? Thanks!

Is it possible to make small adjustment into line 109 of /etc/update-motd.d/30-sysinfo file (I made the change myslef, but once packages are upgraded - change is overwritten)? Original line is: if [[ $intf =~ ^[ewr].* ]]; then Changed line would be (please note additional letter "b"): if [[ $intf =~ ^[ewrb].* ]]; then You may see the reason - I guess "bond" is the common prefix when binding ethernet devices: admin@PKSERVER:~$ grep -n ewr /etc/update-motd.d/30-sysinfo 109: if [[ $intf =~ ^[ewrb].* ]]; then admin@PKSERVER:~$ sudo ifconfig bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:00:00:02:10 i…
