I am aware that the Raspberry Pi 1, 2,3 can transmit Radio waves on GPIO pin 4 and 18. There are even special skins that filter the output. " Previously we posted about the Raspberry Pi’s ability to modulate one of its pins to produce FM transmissions with PiFM. A developer (F5OEO) has recently expanded on this idea, and now the Raspberry Pi is capable of modulating and transmitting FM, AM, SSB, SSTV and FSQ signals anywhere between 130 kHz to 750 MHz. To transmit with the Raspberry Pi all you need to do is plug in a wire antenna to Pin 12 (GPIO 18) on the GPIO port and run the PiTx software by piping in an audio file or image for SSTV. " …

Hi, I realise the NeoCore is not yet supported, but I hope someone can help me with a problem that I am having using the GPIO as buttons. I would like to use the gpio marked GPIOPA13,P A14, PA15,P A16 and PA2 I think these are used by the UART and SPI - I don't require this functionality. I think I have to modify the fex, I have looked, but do not want to kill my system Isit possible to use those gpio? Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA. J.

I tried to reach out for help, but maybe in the wrong channel. ➝ Is it possible to move a post from «bug tracker» to «Community forums»? My post:

Hello I have a working armbian image working well on mi "LePotato", but now I need to use the SPI interface to communicate with a sensor, however I see no spi on /dev/. I read the official images have spi support here , I tried the Ubuntu image and it is working. Is there any way to enable it inArmbian? I read the documentation in https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/ , where points to use custom overlays with .dts files. I see the .dts overlay files used in the Ubuntu image are in github here, however when I try to use armbian-add-overlay I get the message "armbian Overlays are not supported on Meson64 based boards". I am not an expert…

Hello all, i feel i may have made a fatal mistake. I was running Armbian Bookworm server on an Orange PI 5 Plus. All was well until the latest update. After updating, I thought i'd checkout what's changed in arbian-config. I enabled rolling releases and rebooted when prompted. Sadly, the OPI5+ now wont boot. Anything I can do? Or do I need to reinstall everything? Thanks in advaced for anyone taking the time to help Shad

Hello everyone. I’m attempting to mount a Windows network share on Armbian, but something seems off—both smb://10.10.2.101 and sftp://10.10.2.101 show up in red. The same addresses work perfectly on Rocky Linux; any thoughts on what I might be overlooking?

Good afternoon! Tell me about the case, please, the post is great, but maybe I'm initially going the wrong way. Initial task: data exchange between a remote server and equipment with a USB interface and CDC RS-232 or HID protocols. Putting a computer / laptop next to it is not an option. I did not find any ready-made solutions, there are only options: 1. Single board computer. Fast, cheap, angry, easy to make a case and PoE power from ready-made components on the market. 2. Arduino - to assemble from prototyping boards is long, difficult and expensive. To develop something of my own - the navel will be untied with my knowledge. 3. Hardware "e…

Hello everyone, I am currently experiencing a network configuration problem. This concerns a project based on an ODROID C2 board with a Linux Debian 9 stretch 5.73 / Kernel 3.16.57 the board is equipped with a USB 3.0 hub + RJ45 powered. The ultimate goal is to have the WAN on eth0 in DHCP (odroid LAN) an eth1 LAN in static (HUB LAN) A wifi key RALINK RT5572 in access point with a static ip, hosting the bridge of the eth0 if necessary. What works so far: Everything is "ok" on boot, however it was necessary to disable some services at startup, and some behavior is strange: Services disabled: Wpasupplicant (disabled and hidden) otherwise impossibl…

I am running Armbian 23.05.01 bookworm, release 12, on a Libre Renegade (ROC-RK3329-CC) I installed RDP from Armbian config. Seems to have installed. I've shutdown, restarted several times.

I've installed the OPI 4 image awhile ago for my PI as that was the only one available. I've since installed just the kernel targeting this model. Is there a way I can ensure future kernel updates will look for the lts model? Thank you. (Also the topic tags are missing the 4lts model as of this moment)

Hi, I wanted to install Armbian to my old Asus eee PC. So I made live USB containing the .iso and boot from there. I can login as root fine, but when running armbian-install, I only see the option of installing to sdb (my USB drive), but not to my sda (the laptop local drive). I am not sure what's the problem. Do I have to do something to the partition in sda? Currently Alpine Linux is installed in the local drive. Previous installation was Lubuntu (14, I think?). I want to run pi-hole and there are not many supported OSes for pi-hole that still support x86, so I would like to make it work. Armbian version: Armbian 25.5.1 Bookworm Minimal

Hello I'm using armbian on a Neo 2 board and I wanted to use a Quectel EM05 or EC25 LTE modem with it. Actually only need the serial port to send AT-commands. My question is, are Quectel modems natively supported by armbian (QMI? MBMI? ), or do I need to add the driver manually and rebuild the image??? Thank you (Yeah, it's a noob question ) Edit: Ok, I connected to modem to the board and realized that a wwan0 interface was created. That's fine, but I actually needed the serial port ttySx in order to sen AT-commands, but there is not one available... that's actually very strange.

Hey all, So recently I got myself an Orange Pi Prime so I could attempt to do some SPI flashing through spidev and flashrom. I have been going at it, set up the board, got an actually decent power supply, and set up everything. Eventually I got myself into the steps of setting up the pins for spi use. At first, I used armbian-config to enable the spidev into /boot/armbianEnv.txt then I added param_spidev_spi_bus=0 into armbianEnv.txt I rebooted and the spi device file still doesn't show up, any ideas? I have: went through armbian-config (System -> Hardware -> spi-spidev) added param_spidev_spi_bus=0 to armbianEnv.txt …

I have a question. Because there is a big mess in the naming of the first Orangepi series. I have a board with orangepi mini 2 image working. Archived Armbian 5.05 kernel 3.4.119. Orangepi pi 2 images do not launch. In appearance and specifications, the Orangepi PC 2 and mini 2 are almost identical. https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Mini_2. However, the specification for the mini 2 exists, although the manufacturer himself does not provide it on its main website. Could you add an introduction to the orange pi mini 2 board, with the old 3.4 kernel, so that you can build a system? Or maybe someone has some archival image to share?

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.

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

This Android device uses a Linux4.4 kernel. Considering that my nanopc-T3 lacks the functions required by a higher version of Linux, I would like to transplant the 4.14 version of Linux to this Android device at most without the bootloader source code. What's interesting about the device tree? It seems that the kernel provided by the device manufacturer includes some device drivers that are not included in the Linux kernel nativery. will cross-version compilation be a problem? https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_motorola_msm8998

nanoPi M4 running Armbian 21.02.1 Buster with Linux 5.10.12-rockchip64.

The following screenshot shows just a single B25 stick attached, the second one has yet to arrive.

I like to connect an Atmega328 micro to the UART of the Neo Core. The micro runs on 5v. Are the neo core pins 5v tolerant? I can't find any information on the Website only this one: "All pins are 3.3V, output current is 5mA"

I have one of these boards: http://www.orangepi.org/Orange%20Pi%20R1%20Plus/ https://photos.app.goo.gl/1otMwG4totvNbGo88 It's kept cool with a heatsink, and fan (30-35c). Currently, I'm running the orange pi supplied version of openwrt. It's a snapshot version, so the kernel isn't compatible with some packages. My question then is, is there a script out there that can transform armbian into a router, with a firewall, web interface, and easy to use? I'd like to give it a try if such a thing exists.

Hi, im trying to build a receiver with WebRTC. I tried multiple Boards (Raspberry PI 3B, RPI 3B+, AML-S905X-CC, NanoPI Fire3), but none of them had the power to display a Full HD Video. After some research I stumbled up on this article ( https://bootlin.com/blog/tag/allwinner/ ).

a Few days ago I started noticing strange behavior with calls failing and pods with valid imag tags not working and finally figured out what seems like armbian stopped trusting any certificates. When I apt update I get errors (certificate something something) When I curl google.com it says invalid certificate and have to use --insecure for it to work. I've run update ca-certifactes -f to try and force it to trust them again but no real idea of what is wrong here.

I have been following a project on git hub and none of the commands work like the project as I have Armbian Focal installed. I need Armbian Bionic with Linux opiz2b 4.19.57-sunxi #5.90 SMP or 4.19.127-sunxi. I realise this is from 2019 and may be too old now to do anything with it. Is it possible to still get this? I can only find minimal versions in the archives that are much newer than this. I have to state here that I am a complete novice at this and so really have no idea what I am doing.

The system looks good and I planned on using nand-sata-install to write the OS to my emmc .. according to everything I have found, executing nand-sata-install from the root prompt gives a screen that has 3 choices, one of which is "Boot from emmc; system on emmc" Instead, this is what I get: 1 Boot from SD - system on SATA, eMMC or NVMe 5 Install/Update the Bootloader on SD/eMMC I just wa…

I am working with a nanopi neo. The overlay documentation says the default pps pin is PD14. How do I cross reference the gpio names in the overlay documentation to what the documentation on friendlyelec site. I dont see anything close to a PD14. None of the pin assignments match whats in the manufactures documentation. The I2C pins and a few others are clearly marked from the manufacture, so I could give that a good guess. Other than that, where do I find or how do I figure out which pin does what? Rob

Where is the linking between the WiFi state and the LED defined? The NEO Core has an inconsistently on LED on the Core/Air image and I believe this to be the bug.

Hello everyone. I found how to launch armbian in console in this topic https://forum.armbian.com/topic/7547-run-armbian-into-qemu/ I want to launch it in virt-manager because I want to save this vm.

Any good recommendations for espressobin powersupplies for NAS applications?

I'm a newbie to the NanoPi M4 and haven't been able to find helpful material regarding my doubts Any help would be appreciated 1. How do I configure the GPIO pins to function as a UART4 TX and RX pins? 2. The level signals of UART4 are of 3V but the supply to the board is 5V. All standard buck converters are of 5V to 3.3V so how would I go about that?

Is there any support for this platform. https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Quantum-Mini-Linux-Development-Kit/ Devicetree https://github.com/coolflyreg/quark-n If not. Where can I see how to add a new platform. If template or tutorial. Original system is Ubuntu 18 and very old kernel. I like Debian better.

Hi! I would like to know if there is a way at the startup to load new uboot / system to sdcard or spi flash. The fact is for DIY waterproof system, it's hard to remove sdcard, sometimes OPi isn't close of my computer. Idealy i would like TFTP / serial upgrade like openwrt router. Maybe it's impossible since TFTP upgrade need to download before image to ram, check it and burn it. With OP PC we have 1G ram to store image before write it on sdcard... Any idea? thanks

Hello. Sorry for maybe newbie question. I try to enable DS18B20 on my tinkerboard. The Armbian version is 21.08.1_Tinkerboard_buster_current_5.10.60. I've read the documentation about DTC, but I see no /boot/dtb/overlay directory, just /boot/dtb. I copied decompiled version of dtb from TinkerOS to this folder, compile it to rockchip-w1-gpio.dtb, but there is no /sys/bus/w1 folder. dmesg|grep w1 is empty. Here is my dts file: /dts-v1/; / { compatible = "rockchip,rk3288-miniarm", "rockchip,rk3288"; fragment@0 { target-path = [2f 00]; __overlay__ { onewire@0 { compatible = "w1-gpio"; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = &…

I'm familiar with ARMbian on Orange PI 3, more specifically I'm trying to master programming in C on this system and hw. Since yesterday I've been searching in vain for some description, ideally with examples of how to control GPIO, I2C and SPI in C. Can you advise?

Thanks for work on armbian! I've got nanopim4 recently, stable build worked like a charm out of the box (maybe w/o bluetooth) I digged into all build scripts, tried out the dev and even got a step forward. I'm actually ready to support further development with this board See my reports, attempts and links here: https://gist.github.com/razum2um/8e2bfbcffdcdb3a832a4862339330867 Would be glad if @Igor , @chwe or someone else helps with the wifi question there p.s. sorry for posting here, but I'm unable to post into `development` forum section for rk3399

Hi guys, I stumbled upon an issue and I really hope someone can provide me with some insights. TL;DR: On my NanoPi M4 with Kernel 5.10.43 the upload bandwith is limited to about 70 % of the available bandwidth. With Kernel 4.4 it's ~95 % and with the friendlyarm-image I get the 100 % as reference. Expected behaviour: Usage of full available bandwidth I'm running a core version, no desktop. No configuration has been made on all three images and the tests have been performed with: iperf3 -p 5200 -N -t 20 -c speedtest.wtnet.de Result with Kernel 5.10.x (Armbian_21.05.1_Nanopim4_buster_current_5.10.35.img): 8.03 Mbits/sec …

Hi, After upgrade from xenial to bionic we found a problem with R1 internal WIFI. First connection to any wireless network with nmtui works wihout problem. But after that if we try to switch to another wireless network it fails. It doesn't even reconnect to the first network ever. If we plug in an external usb wifi adapter(which uses a different driver than the internal wifi driver) it works without problem as expected. What do you think ? Have you experienced the same problem ever ? What is wrong with the internal wifi ? It was working good in xenial. I blacklisted the internal driver and using external wifi adapter for now. "wlan0" in the logs …

Hello, My mic works on my laptop, but I tried to do the computer, but the mic is not working. I tried a troubleshooter, allowing audio to be recorded. I have tried to reinstall the drivers, but nothing seems to be working. Even after doing a lot of research, the solution was not found. Then after going to the settings, after looking at the setting of the microphone, it came to know that the microphone needs permission to run in the device which was disabled. At the same point, after I have given permission in the settings, the microphone was not working due to not giving it, then the https://mictests.net is checking the mic from the site and see if…

Hi, I want to use a mcp2515 can controller over spi1 or 2. I read about internal flash is blocking the spi1. Can I use another Chipselect pin to use the spi1 with GPIO? Can you please give some advice where to start my research about overlays? What else do I need to activate? (core moduls, driver…)

A month or two back, when I installed Armbian, I had to revert to an older kernel, 5.10.63-rockchip64, which has known vulnerabilities. I needed to be able to boot off of a USB 3 HDD, so I had to revert it and hold updates for the kernel/kernel headers. These are the commands I used to revert to the older kernel: sudo apt install linux-dtb-current-rockchip64=21.08.2 linux-image-current-rockchip64=21.08.2 sudo apt-mark hold linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 linux-image-current-rockchip64 Fast forward to today, where the issue with USB 3 has been apparently resolved in the latest kernel, I tried to unhold the kernel/kernel header updates, that seemed to work. …

Hello! How to show boot.bmp instead U-Boot log? Default Armbian inage only show ERROR that bmp is 8 bit but must be 32 bit. What wrong?

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.

Hi, I need wifi working on an A20 board. Managed to compile the driver and change coherent_pool value to 2M and made everything work when booting from the SD card. After that I made a nand install using the nand_sata_install.sh script with minor modifications (partition+sizes). The system boots and everything is working right except the modprobe -v st7601Usta fails with exec format error. Dmesg says: st7601Usta: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout Recompiling the driver and reinstalling it does nothing. As I understand the nand_sata_install script uses the same linux image only converted from zImage to uImage. Shouldn't the…
