Hey guys, Coming from high level programming such as Java or C#, I'm quite new to mid-level development. I'm working on a project and I was wondering there are any low cost Linux compatible SoC that are guaranteed to have a long term availability for like 5-7 years or more? I've seen the H3, but since it is manufactured by a chinese company, I'm not sure about the availability of this chip on long term. Thanks

I successfully installed the rtl-sdr and Gqrx on a pine a64 with Armbian, it works perfectly Now I want to make an IMSI catcher (just beacons with gr-gsm), which I did on another ubuntu device. I first had problems with pip and then changed the export path. Now this works but I have problems installing PyBombs: sudo pip install PyBOMBS I get: Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-install-FNJDtY/ruamel.ordereddict/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-record-QjKLMX/install-record.txt --sing…

Hello to the community I'm new on armbian, previuosly was using Lubuntu on my cubietruck. I'm really happy to have changer for the armbian Bionic version more efficient and with many features. The cubietruck is running as a charm ! :) Just one problem, I wanted to install urBack from armbian-config menu. But this never installs it. I tried to run "sudo apt-get install urbackup-server" in a terminal via ssh, but with no success : "'urbackup-server' has no installation candidate" I'm sure I did something wrong or have forgotten something ? Could you please provide help for this little problem on my side ? Tha…

Hello, please, is it possible (if yes, how or what are available parameters) to run nand-sata-install from command line "one liner" - I mean without going to programm GUI? I would like to just run one command with predefined command line parameters and it should automatically copy microsd to emmc storage. Many thanks

I want to create not big i2c-device module for training. But when I create new module file, I can't run Makefile, because ARMBIAN /lib/modules/(uname -r) doesn't have "build" file. My board is Orange Pi Zero H2+. ARMBIAN OS run on the board succesfully. Some detection of the i2c-device is succefully. How to create makefile that compile module file? Thanks

Hello, please how can I detect if OS runs from microSD or from on board emmc? Anything like python, sh or command line command would be helpful. Many thanks.

Is there a difference between installing Armbian and then OMV via Softy vs the OMV images?

hi. i am new to armbian and i want to start learning python i use below tutorial but it does't work https://youtu.be/D_N2K2fTH2M any body have other reference for me to install python 3.7.0? i am using orange pi pc. thanks.

I am currently working on a Development Board based on RK3288. We are using Rockchip kernel as mentioned here https://github.com/rockchip-linux/kernel This uses libdrm (DRI) for its rendering purposes. But it has limitations. Only one CRTC is connected out of 2. It provides 8 planes, out of which only 4 are available for the working CRTC, out of which user available OVERLAY planes are only 2, and out of which only 1 Plane supports NV12 rendering. I need to show 2-4 videos simultaneously, can anyone help me here on how to procure more planes, particularly NV12 compatible OVERLAY type, that can be connected to the working CRTC?

While using ubuntu1604-kernel4.4-VAAPLI.img I took downloaded from the server, I came across the following problem. While trying to develop device drivers for kernel space, I realized we dont have any linux headers in the said system. I have tried looking up for the same at Rockchip's github as well as wiki site, but could not find one. Can anyone point me to the correct linux headers ? I am using RK3288 development board, and current my version using "uname -r" is "4.4.55+"

I have a raspberry pi camera attached to the tinkerboard. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to use it. Help?

Hi, Got a bit of a strange situation here. Trying to get H3 I2S working in both playback and capture. Tweaked script.bin and got the I2S0 up and running. Playback in 96K and 192K tested and is ok. Capture though is giving me a headache. When I try to use arecord it does work and generates a wav file but upon playing the file with aplay and although the samplerate (96K or 192K) and channel numbers (Stereo) show ok on screen, the audio result from this recording is always mono and looks that the included samples numer is divided by 2 thus the playback time is shortened accordingly, eg if I record 10 sec, a 5 sec playing time happens. Verified the…

I want to load my custom service to show orangepi zero as three devices on the host PC. But as the UDC ( /sys/class/udc/musb-hdrc.1.auto) is being used by another service which is probably the builtin service using udc to show orangepi as: Bus 001 Device 048: ID 0525:a4a7 Netchip Technology, Inc.

Hello. I want to use btrfs as my rootfs (Armbian Ubuntu xenial 5.14 on M2) so I can use snapshots to roll back, freeze for backups, and to help manage changes. Btrfs is also good for error checking and can provide cheap easy data redundancy. How does booting work on my BPI M2? How can I change the target root partition? What has to be on /boot (ext4) and what can be on / (btrfs)? Along the same lines, is it possible to boot off of a USB device either directly or indirectly (Small SD with bootloader and /boot→ USB large root device)? Is there some documentation or good keywords to learn about how booting works in the ARM world?

Hey. I have a banana pi m2u (Allwinner A40), I created a debian stretch console image, but ethernet interface does not work. The eth0 interface is not visible in the system. Could you say what could be wrong?

So, before some days I've updated some packages - so I can't say which update cause the following described problem: The Odroid boots up and doesn't do a dhcp query - the eth0 interface won't get any IP-Address. 'nmtui' shows (even if I delete every connections and set mine to default) after every reboot a new connection with "eth0" as name and no dchp config and no automatic connect selected. Trying to use armbian-config and set IP to DHCP wont help also, because at the next reboot this "ghost" profile appears again and overwrites the Armbian profile. If I try to activate the Armbian profile (or mine) the "ghost" profile disappears... My /etc/network/inter…

Is there detailed info somewhere how to do so? Like I posted here I once prepared a new sd card with armbian, poped it in to have the system resize to full sd card storage and then restored the rsync backup. Back then I was successful restoring the backup on hummingboard. Now I tried with odroid hc2 backup via ssh. Turns out you have to be root on the client if you pull a backup via ssh, else the files and folders user,group and permission won't be transfered. Also after restore I changed the UUID in /etc/fstab to the new sd card. Since I first set up armbian with a fresh install I should also have u-boot on it. Unfortunately system does not boot on my o…

I realize the A10-OlinuXino-Lime has been EOL for Armbian for some time now; however, I am curious if kernel support for GPIO functionality is available on the latest available for Armbian Xenial (kernel 3.4). If it is a mainline kernel this may explain why the GPIOs are not available for use.

Hi, I'm using an Odroid C2 with 8 DVB-C/T (6x TechnoTrend TT-TVStick CT2-4400 and 2xTECHNOTREND TT-connect CT2-4650).

How to unbrick the system? When something goes horribly wrong and you can not boot the system, this is the way to proceed. You need some Linux machine where you can insert SD card failed. With this procedure, you will reinstall the u-boot, kernel, and hardware settings. In most cases, this is enough to unbrick the board. You should check the file system before mounting: I do not understand

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 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, I'm trying to install Oracle Java v8/9/10 on nano pi duo without success. getting the following error which I assume that there is no compatible version. Package 'oracle-java8-installer' has no installation candidate is it really not supported or I'm missing something?

Hi, Is it possible to run the same SD that is running on NanoPi neo with Armbian on NanoPi Neo AIR or due? Thanks

Hello, I would like to set up a small server, mostly for home sftp & torrent needs (maybe a voip server like Mumble). My requirements and questions fall into 3 categories: 1.) Openness & community support 2.) Stability 3.) Future viability 1.) One of my main requirements is for the board to be open / running on as little software blobs as possible. I would like to support manufacturers who seem to care for open source community. The two main manufacturers I see mentioned regularly are Olimex and CubieTech and the A20 as a best supported SoC. I'm currently looking at CubieTruck and OLinuXino-Lime2 but I'm wandering: …

I'm trying to access GPIO through python using the following library: https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3 Online guides say that for OPi One this should be a plug and play solution. However, for me, the pins dont seem to be mapping properly, running dir(ports) and dir(connector) yields the results shown here All the PAx pins are missing, and the results bare no similarity to the actual pin config found here any help appreciated, Andy

Hi Somehow iam not able to sucessfull setup a headless installation. I tested it with Orange Pi Zero (256mb rm) and Opi 2. I used the Armbian Stretch Image from the website, flashed it with Etcher.

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…

Is there a way to make armbian find my modem auto? I am running Orange Pi One with Armbian 5.20 Debian Jesse And Orange Pi PC with Armbian 5.20 Debian Jesse My issue is that it finds the flash memory in my modem but not the modem itself i have to manually set it to modem via this command usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f01 -M '55534243123456780000000000000011062000000101000100000000000000' Now the OS see it as a modem and i can run command dhclient -v eth1 And it will load up the eth1 and it will work fine. Issue is i have to do those steps after reboot. On my Rasberry device i run Raspberrian and it does all those steps per automatic its plug and play. Am…

@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!

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?

Explain it on your fingers, or I do not understand. How can I make my python script run when I turn on my NanoPI, without logging in, without entering a login, password?

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…

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?

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?

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

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. Even though there was a file, 'bash' couldn't find or run. /bin/bash: /root/buildroot/x86/xxxx-gcc: No such file or directory Thinking it's something to do with 64 bit OS, I switched to 32 bit Ubuntu 16.04. However after about 2 hours I'm getting following error. /bin/bash: /root/buildroot_openlinux/output/meson8b_m201/host/usr/gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q2-update/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: No such file or directory /bin/bash: /root/buil…

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?

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…

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?

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

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…
