Hello guys I am looking for any help or hint on how to start the work stated in the title: Porting Audioinjector Pi SoundCard overlay from Raspbian to Armbian. I would like to use the card on OrangePi platform based on because H3 SoC has all required hardware: I2C, SPI, I2S(?). The code I found is in Raspbian github repository https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/3f53e7886737a975e3fe76bc8ae6cc78f33c8cf8/sound/soc/bcm. As far as I see, the sound card driver is based on WM8731 codec and it is using on BCM SoC I2S interface.. Can I use the similar I2S interface on Sunxi SoC? Does current mainline linux allow me to do this port at all? …

Hi all, I'm trying to port a driver built for Raspberry Zero to Banana Pi M2 Zero. The original driver is here : https://github.com/pguyot/tagtagtag-ears (it's supposed to drive the ears of a Nabaztag, which recently got resurected thanks to an Ulule campaign). My understanding is that at least half of the problem is to adapt the device tree overlay for the BPI M2 Zero. If it"s not half of the work, it's definitely required. So far I've been unsuccessful. The original DTS overlay is like this : /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "brcm,bcm2708"; fragment@0 { target = <&gpio>; __overlay__ { gpio_encoder_left_…

Is it possible to install armbian using dd? I see the instructions say to use USBImager is recommended. However, my situation is that the computer I am using is an ARM64 running Linux, and it appears there is not a binary download of USBImager available for ARM64-linux. I could compile my own copy of USBImager, but it seems like it might be simpler to use dd. Or--is there an alternative to USBImager that I could install on my ARM64-linux (debian), preferably using the package manager?

Sorry for a newbie question. I am setting up a raid system based on flash drives on a Orange Pi One and every thing is working fine. I am now thinking of moving from ext4 for F2FS but I can't figure out how to get it to work. I have installed f2fs-tools and managed to format the drive but I can't seem to mount it. I can't seem to run "modprobe f2fs". Does this mean that I need to recombile the kernel or what? I am not intending to boot from f2fs. Just mount the raid system for storage.

Is it possible to install a modern OS on H3 board ? like Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or 19.04 with a kernel 5.x Only build available here are pretty old with linux kernel v3 ou v4

Hello folks, I plan to build a power bank or a ups for my Orange Pi Pc H3. Here is the log dump for more info: http://ix.io/2kMo I have been using my Pi PC as a full fledged desktop thanks to all you Armbian contributers. We have occassional power outages and to counter the issue I'm planning to build an alternate power source. After some online search I found that some of the IOT boards support usb power banks as a power supply, hence would like to know if Pi PC H3 supports this feature or can be programmed? Another option is to use a MoPi board, not sure if Pi PC H3 supports the board. https://pi.gate.ac.uk/pa…

Hello, i had installed Raspbian OS on bpi M2 zero and the power button was working fine. After switching to Armbian (Focal - Buster , etc), i have problem with the power button that does not work anymore. The images were released for the specific board, but although the power button doesnt work. Additional, the installed SPI LCD, when powered off using raspbian, the backlight was deactivated (so power on GPIO was also off) Now with Armbian, even if i shutdown via command, the backlight remains on. Any suggestions?

I am using OrangePi Lite with Armbian 21.02.3 (5.10.21-sunxi) and the power button is not responding to acpi events. I have followed suggestions here but nothing works: - http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2460 - https://parglescouk.wordpress.com/2016/08/30/shutting-down-an-orange-pi-from-the-on-board-button/ Here is my debugging process: root@orangepilite:~# evtest No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event* Available devices: /dev/input/event0: r_gpio_keys /dev/input/event1: sunxi-ir Select the device event number [0-1]: 0 Input driver version is 1.0.1 Input devic…

Hi, Working on a project that will manage and monitor batteries from a solar installation and wanting to see how low I can reduce its power consumption. Out of the box consumption is approx. 480mWatts. Currently using Armbian 21.05.8 Buster Don't need: USB WiFi Any display output and Only need eth0 for possibly 10 mins a day. Any suggestion on how to power down specific components such as above? Interestingly shutdown via the command line increase the power consumption to around 700mW?? Thanks, Rob.

Are there any commands to show information that could tell me about the level of power consumption ? E.g.: energy saving state of CPU or the like ? On the SBC i am using, i think the power consumption is lower when running the same setup with kernel 5.4, and higher with legacy kernel 4.4. Alas, 5.4 has other problems, so i want to try to figure out what settings/features reduce power consumption in 5.4 and maybe i can then configure them equally in 4.4. This is rockpi4a rockchip3399. If there is nothing generic enough about the topic, i can ask on the forum for that chip.

Dear colleagues! I think many of us are trying to use SBC boards with Armbian as server, control units etc. How do you handle instant power OFF, due to power loss, for example. I am thinking about small UPS development, it will contain battery for 30 seconds of Orange Pi Pc+ operation and set Orange Pi I/O as signal for correct shutdown. But is it actually needed? I keep switching my Orange power OFF from AC adapter instead of shutting down for 1 year and still no problem there.

Hi, While setting up my clearfog pro with armbian I noted the pppoe module is not compiled or available to download for my kernel using apt-get. What is the recommended approach here? do I need to compile my own kernel? Thanks, Gustavo

Hello, Someone up for this? I am trying my best to extend the PPS device tree overlay in order to support additional capabilities of the PPS kernel driver. In particukar, I want to have the "echo" pin working. (The echo pin is supposed to be an output that makes it possible to measure the latency between the pps pulse and the actual kernel timestamp). I have (tried my best) to modify the existing overlay as follows (the PD14 pin in the overlay is modified by the fixup script to be PA6): /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3"; fragment@0 { target = <&pio>; __ove…

Hello folks, I have been banging my head on this for a few days now and after many searches what should work it is not working :-( I'm setting up an NTP server on a NanoPi Neo3 board (RK3328) running Armbian and I'm stuck on getting the PPS to work.

Hello everyone, I was used to use the cubox-i running on a hummingboard (2 years ago) and tried to install a pps source using pps-gpio module and the GPIO1 (pin 7) of the HummingBoard jumpers. Given that pps-gpio requires an entry in the device tree for pps, and I couldn't find/patch/recompile again sources (image was built by another person), I decompiled the imx6q-hummingvboard.dtb present in /boot, then modified it adding : pps { compatible = "pps-gpio"; gpios = <0x01 0x01 0x01>; }; and then I recompiled this source and copied into /boot. When I rebooted, the new /dev/pps1 was created and the pulses were rece…

Hello, I just installed Armbian on my Tinker board. I use the internal wifi and another wifi usb dongle (static ip). The wifi usb receives a name wlx**** in ifconfig and the internal wifi module has wlan0. I want to have wlan1 instead of wlx***. So I checked https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ Tried the option using dev/null and setting the net.ifnames parameter. I tried in /boot/ArmBianEnv.txt to set net.ifnames=0 parameter. Nothing works. Would be happy, if someone knows how to change this on Armbian. Thank you very much

Hi, I'm desperately trying to force my ARMBian jessie to install nginx from the following repository: deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/jessie main contrib non-free rpi As armbian does have only nginx 1.6.2 in its repository I would like to force updating nginx and mariadb from the mentioned repository, but whenever I try to apt-get install it, it never installs nginx 1.9.9 but 1.6.2 instead and claims it is the recent one. Although I even uncommented all the other repositories temporarily in my /etc/apt/sources.list Somehow I also could not get it work with pinning, but may be I am doing something wrong. What I would like to have finall…

Hi I want to modify base armbian image using choot in order to install necessary software. I am also creating user during that process. My question is how can I skip or prefill the form that appears on first run? (user creation, time zone setting etc.) I was surfing the forum and found this answer. So, I came up with few options: 1) It looks like I can prefill my desired values for the form in "/usr/lib/armbian/armbian_firstlogin" file by editing it during chroot 2) I can remove user input parts in "/usr/lib/armbian/armbian_firstlogin", but preserve other important lines, since user will be created during chroot Is this valid options or there …

I got Armbian 23.8.2 Bookworm with Linux 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx successfully running on a couple of NanoPi R6S boxes. So far so good. Now I would like to use Wifi dongles (USB sticks) that I have on these machines. They use the `ath9k_htc` kernel driver. I have used this successfully on ARM-based machines earlier. However, Armbian does not provide this module. So I need to compile it myself (either obtain the exact sources that were used in the kernel I'm currently running, so I can recompile this single module or, perhaps more realistically, start a custom tree with the Armbian patches and config, from which I can rebuild on my own). I…

Hey all! I'm wondering if there's a tried and tested method for preparing an armbian system to be made into an SD card image, including: * Clearing the right SSH data * Triggering firstrun to run next time * Shrinking partition * Any other suggestiosn NB : the filesystem for armbian seems to be quite different from raspbian / other. Which makes shrinking the partition from another computer quite confusing (e.g. when mounting a ripped img in ubuntu we just see one full partition across the entire SD card, even if there's lots of free space)

I'm running Armbian 20.11.3 Buster on the Odroid N2 (kernel 5.9.14-meson64). I wanted information on memory pressure of the system, but I was surprised to see that pressure stall information (PSI) was not at /proc/pressure/memory. I then noticed that the PSI tool is not configured in the Armbian build. Specifically, the /boot/config-5.9.14-meson64 file contains "# CONFIG_PSI is not set" Why is pressure stall information not configured on Armbian? Are there better or other tools to provide this information? I briefly looked at free and /proc/meminfo, but I'm of the opinion that unused RAM is wasted and looking at free memory is not a good indicator if operation…

Greetings all! A noob here just starting to explore and grasp Linux, ARM, and SBC's. I hope I'm posting in a correct area; don't want to ruffle any feathers. I've worked with IoT for a bit, while we several Rpi's collected dust until I put one to work with Node Red for a smart-home project. That sparked my interest, and I aquired a used Rock64 board relatively cheap to play. In retrospect it may have not been the right choice but I have it now. After trying several "dis-jointed" OS's steered to by the Pine website, and finding them to only work partially, at best, I came across Armbian after much searching. I'm very glad I did. I find the OS I selected to be very ade…

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). On the microsd card, i installed the prebuild image: Armbian_5.65_Olinuxino-a33_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.10.img downloaded from this ftp://staging.olimex.com/Allwinner_Images/A33-OLinuXino/ server. The system boots up normally and starts the terminal via UART, but the image does not appear on the display. How do I configure the system to make the display work.

Hi, In december, I was able to install a working system to nand (boot from nand, system on sata), but didn't have the nessery time to finish the configuration. Today I rebooted my cubietruck for the first time since then, and tried updating all the installed packages with 'apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade'. One of the updates (an important one, see below) failed with the following error: and: Confident as I am, I rebooted the device. Unfortunately, it does not come up as expected. I still have the SD-card used for the install in december (and can boot the cubietruck with it), so I could start from scratch again. But may be there is somet…

I was updating packages on a host running on board "Orange PI PC", running Armbian bullseye version 22.02.1. There is only one package left: The following packages have been kept back: armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc and if I try to run: sudo apt install armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc-current : Depends: base-files (>= 24.5.1) but 11.1+deb11u10 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. If I look at my installation of base-files I see that that's is right. How I can fix this ?

I have downloaded the cli image file and imaged it to a SD card. However, when I attempt to boot, I never get a screen. I tested the board using the NanoPi-R6 image file and do get the initial setup for Armbian. However, it does not recognize USB devices. I realize that the image for NanoPC-T6 is a work-in-progress, but I don't understand why it doesn't boot. Am I doing something wrong?

Not sure if this is considered an appropriate request for the Armbian forum, but I'll give it a try. New installation of Buster server 4.19.62-sunxi on OPiZero 512MB, with 32GB SanDisk A1 card. I installed CUPS (and Samba) via armbian-config, added myself to lpadmin; I can access the web interface. "Add printer" sees my Brother HL-2270DW on wifi, but no matter how I add the printer, I get one of a variety of errors when attempting to print a test page. CUPS finds and installs the printer at dnssd://Brother%20HL-2270DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/ but when I print a test page, CUPS says it can't find the printer. So I change the URI to the printer's IP address on m…

I have one problem a bit hard to explain. I had a monitor with VGA, and that was working with my Orange Pi Plus 2e, but I had to change the monitor to DVI and the screen doesn't work anymore. I can't see anything. even if I try to run with my television (32'') i can see the screen when it's loading the armbian (the commands), but when it tries to open the GUI I cannot see anymore. I want to cancel the autologin to GUI to change the size to use the command line to change the screen size, but I have no idea how to do it, I didn't find anyway to do that. Anyone has any idea?

I want to do some debugging in the Orange Pi Lite 2 and it requires the ability to output the kernel log to the serial console. I am using an Arduino as a TTL-to-USB serial converter (shorting the Reset and GND pins) with the TX pin from the OPi Lite 2 UART header connected to RX on the Arduino (Digital pin 0), the RX pin from OPi connected to Arduino's TX (Digital pin 1), and Ground to Ground. I tried to enable the serial console by enabling all the UART overlays in armbian-config (ruart, uart1, uart2, uart3), setting the "console" environment variable to "ttyS0,115200", setting the "loglevel" variable to "7" and disabling the login on ttyS0 by executing the …

I like(*) to connect to the micro-USB port of my OrangePi Zero (H2+) a USB peripheral device, so the port at the OPi must act as host. I have activated the port in armbian-config. Then, following forum posts such as [1], I switched the dr_mode in the port's device tree section to "host". (Decompile, edit, compile, then placed the resulting .dtb file to /boot/dtb-.../, then rebooted.) Nevertheless, the port does not seem to work as host, at least no device is detected in dmesg when plugging the stick in at the port. (same with lsusb) I have tested the stick itself in another hardware setting, and the cabling near the OPi's micro-USB port in so…

I installed Armbian on an Orangepi Plus 2e. I have set it as Plex server, Tvheadend and Samba enabled from armbian-config softy. All perfect until I activate the wifi access point also from armbian-config. Plex deconfigures me and I can no longer access it. Is there any incompatibility?

Hello everyone, I’m a complete beginner and have very little programming knowledge. However, I decided to build a MagicMirror as a project. For this, I got a BananaPi M2 Berry and installed what I believe is an Armbian operating system on it. Then I downloaded the corresponding packages for the MagicMirror from GitHub. Everything worked so far—though it was quite challenging—and I even managed to personalize each module. But now I have two problems: I want the MagicMirror to stay in portrait mode permanently. However, after a while (about 30 minutes), the screen automatically switches back to landscape mode and opens a new window of the “Display” appli…

I'm not sure whether this is the correct place. Sorry if it isn't and please move it to where it belongs - thanks! The problem is: in our community (forum.iobroker.net) came up problems with mounting to a nas by cifs. ioBroker is a smart home management, and a new module ("adapter") has been designed to provide automated backups to a nas. in most cases this works fine, but on some platforms with armbian it fails with the message: cifs filesystem not supported by the system I'm not that linux crack, but i tried to find out what could cause this, I found at this site https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... 175593855/ so…

I am experiencing problems with the gcc compiler.

Hi, I have a Pine Rock64 v2.0 SBC and with the image Buster xfce desktop (I guess this is the right one that mentions here), the board has random freezes and impossible to use. So far the board does work good with Ayufan Debian buster image. Anyone had and idea why? I post here since I need to implement hwaccel so I can use this board as RTSP server using a UVC USB camera (Arducam). Thanks.

I am trying to investigate why borg backups, specifically when doing borg check, are taking over twice as long on armbian buster + OMV5, compared to armbian stretch + OMV4. The borg server is an Odroid HC2, and borg check runs on the server (HC2) and is single threaded. Not sure where to even start, but one thing that caught my attention is that the borg process will be running at 100% CPU at various times (as expected), but the CPU frequency at those same times was reported at 200-300 MHz when observed using htop. Is this normal? Unfortunately I don't know what frequency was normal in the same circumstances with armbian stretch + OMV4. Benchmarks …

Hi guys, I am going to apply some LibeELEC multimedia patches to Armbian kernel Please advise, what is the proper way for this? I have found folder build/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-current. Should I put files here?

Hello, Amrbian devs, Thank you for the efforts first. I'm fiddling with some of SBC including PineH64, Rock Pi4... Sometimes, I have to provide a new kernel or add modules. So after the kernel modules are installed. How can I edit boot loader to start it. I discover /boot/boot.cmd and boot.scr contains a line "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" So how can I start another kernel image? Is the init ramdisk is required? Thank you.

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…

Hi! while waiting for the raspberry pi camera module I wanted to play around with a PS3 eye camera I have. My intention is using it within ROS because I am interested in the high framerate this camera offers. Has anyone got this camera working in Armbian? If not, what would be the steps for installing the driver? Thanks!

Some people noticed that Pulseaudio mixes is showing "Built-in Audio" for all the audio devices of the SBCs. I investigated and found that the issue is related to ALSA: the devices are not really exposed by their real hardware connection (HDMI, SPDIF, ...) but just as "hw" devices. Pulseaudio is interpreting this as built-in audio because does not know anything else of the device. I'm no ALSA expert at all, copied some already existing configuration files without really understanding what I did, I found a solution. To solve the problem with SPDIF and HDMI you need to place the following two configuration files in /usr/share/alsa/card. Call the…

Hello, I am runnign armbian 5.05 jessie server on an OrangePi One. I wish to test network audio streams so I installed pulseaudio to do some tests. As long as ALSA works fine with HDMI output, I thought that pulseaudio would work the same, but I was wrong. The basic pulseaudio installation (apt-get install pulseaudio) turned to be a non effective way to obtain pulseaudio support. Actually this is strange because if I set the default pulseaudio sink to analog audio, it works fine (I get no sound but just because the Opi One has no analog connector). When I set the default sink to hdmi audio, I get indiscernible short discharges instead of music and pulseaudio…

I'm running Armbian buster on an Orange Pi PC plus single board computer. In Armbian Stretch I used to be able to use the analogue output in stereo mode so I could use this sbc as a music player, but after upgrading to Buster pavucontrol only gives me the following option for analogue sound output (the other Built-in audio source is HDMI audio wich works fine in stereo mode but I'm not using): I would highly appreciate if someone could help me fix this issue. I have already tried reinstalling pulseaudio and copying the configuration files from the previous Stretch installation, but didn't have any luck with that.

Hi, Got a latest Armbian jessie image 5.24 with kernel 3.4.113, and could not find pulseaudio in it. I thought it was already present. Is there any hint/guide for installation to OPi or FA H3 boards with Armbian? Christos

I came across "Peer-to-peer technical support", today and noticed there were "101 topics".

Hi! I have a Banana Pi Pro running last Armbian v5.20 via SD card. There is 2 usb HD 2TB connected.I create a software RAID1 /dev/md0 with the 2 usb hd dev/sda1 & dev/sdb1 mounted as /mnt/md0. Up to now all is working fine. My goal, put the root on that raid1. The script nand-sata-install does not reconize 'md' device, only 'sd' device so i did a very litte modification to the script to reconize 'md'. The script run fine and it transfert all from the SD card to the 'md' (raid) but after the reboot,,,,, nothing, the system wont start. I am not a linux expert but i think that the problem is that the raid must be start from /boot (still on SD card) before the system …

Hi, I have this great tiny SBC without being used because I could not get its fan temperature dependent on dietpi and really did not liked the stock image, so I have been looking for something more interesting. After installing lm-sensors, I ran sensors-detect as root and no sensors were found. I know I saw a temperature readout (calculated?) somewhere and I wonder if whether is possible to have a PWM control of the fan as the stock image does. All help and suggestions are much appreciated. Cheers, Gus

There are python libraries for the raspberry pi that use its dma channels to output pwm on any pin chosen? How do i get PWM out of the allwinner h3? In the allwinner h3 datasheet it says "12 dma channels". thanks in advance.

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 , 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.

Hello dear all, I am currently using Armbian 22.05 Jammy. I am wondering how I can use Python IDE such as Pycharm etc. If you have any suggestions, you are very welcome to comment below. Have a great day.

Thank you for everything you’ve done. Armbian is amazing. On Raspberry PI devices, it’s possible to pass parameters to the kernel at boot-up and force certain IO pins to go high as soon as shutdown is complete. It’s along the lines of “dtoverlay=gpio-poweroff,gpiopin=xx”. I’m guessing that GPIO-POWEROFF is a kernel overlay, that it’s specific to Raspbian, and that Armbian may have a similar overlay. What’s the best way to discover the name of Armbian’s corresponding overlay, please? That overlay would enable me to configure the relevant single-board computer to send a signal at shutdown, a signal that would cause the charging/power circ…

Hallo, i want install "Qemu" on my Nanopi M4 (on Armbian Bionic). I follow these Instruction: If i eintipe tfe Command "./configure --target-list="i386-softmmu" --enable-sdl --prefix=/usr" in the Terminal, the message appears "Unsupported CPU= aarch64". I would be grateful for help. Thanks.

hi guys, Danubio from Uruguay successfully tested very nice QPC2 Sinclair QL emulator (hybrid m68k + win32 peripheral code) on armbian with hangover 🙂 https://theqlforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5330 he is testing lot of old windows music apps on armbian this way, so I asked him also to test QPC2, this was one of my cool use cases for armbian too (busy here with other things still so ... my way to linux is very slow ...)

Hi, Have some H3 boards with the current Armbian level 5.24. Need though Qt5.. Is there any info on how to do this? How to install Qt5 in Armbian? (Might be too easy but for some reason I cannot find relevant info) Christos

I installed and compiled varios browsers based on QtWebKit - falkon, konqueror, otter-browser - and they are all pretty fast compared to their chromium/firefox colleagues. Unfortunately, the input of special characters (é, ñ, ü, ß) doesn't work. The letters appear as UTF code. However, the letters are displayed correctly in chromium/midori/firefox, and the console. Thus, I blame Qt. This is very annoying e.g. for webmailing and editing text, since typing in languages with special characters such as Spanish and German is practically impossible. Any idea how to fix 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.

While using my Quartz64A I am getting cursor flickering while moving the cursor. While I move the cursor everything else just stops and only continues after the cursor stops moving. glxinfo is reporting mesa is able to find Mali G52 but I am having a feeling the GPU is not helping the desktop rendering here.

Hello everyone, I need to install Armbian on a Pine64 Quartz64 model A but I don't know where to start. Can any of you give me a hand? A thousand thanks!

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.

Hello, I have a Quectel EC25 modem which works fine on OPi Zero Plus and other boards, now I'm trying it in an OPi Zero Plus 2 H5 board, it loads the network interface but it doesn't gets good internet, some IPs respond but most others(google.com por example) don't. I'm wondering if there is any drivers or incompatibility issue. Any help will be welcome. Thanks in advance, Alejandro Edit: In this images I show: 1- the ppp0 network interface 2- the lsusb command which shows the modem 3- A ping that works and a ping that doesn't 4- The logs loading the OS, it freezes on the last line

Howdy, everyone! My apologies if this answer is available elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. I'm trying to better understand Armbian's policy toward closed-source components. Discussions on closed-components often times get confusing because "component" is overloaded, so I'm separating "components" into several categories: 1. Firmware/microcode that is loaded into hardware but never executed by the operating system itself 2. Drivers that operate in kernel space (often called "binary blobs") 3. Software that runs in user space 4. Firmware for "autonomous subsystems" or "coprocessors" like the Intel Management Engine or ThreadX on the Ra…

Do you guys think/know if this would work on a Orange pi. https://github.com/riptidewave93/RFLED-Server It seems to be written in golang, I don't know how is it with the gpio's if stuff is written in golang. Well here its UART stuff actually but you get the picture..
