Hi, In my project I want to use UART on GPIO pin (8,10). I wrote a simple Java app to decet serial ports on my orange PC but it return only /dev/ttyS0 - Serial Here is simple java code using rxtxlibrary.. package org.mbp; import gnu.io.CommPortIdentifier; /** * * @author Peter */ public class TestCom { /** * @param args the command line arguments */ public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("-------------------------------"); System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version")); System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name")); java.util.Enumeration<CommPortIdentifier> portEnum …

the version number of zfsutils-linux was too low for the new version of zfs-dkms. So I downgraded zfs-dkms but the recent version of linux kernel was too high for the old version of zfs-dkms. I tried armbian-config to change the version of the kernel down to 6.6 from 6.12.18 but somehow it just repeatedly tried to build dkms modules for 6.12.18 again and again so I just gave up using armbian-config. I eventually replaced the linux kernel and headers with the older version 24.8.2 ( sudo apt install linux-image-current-meson64=24.8.2 linux-headers-current-meson64=24.8.2 linux-dtb-current-meson64=24.8.2 ) After these downgrades ZFS st…

Hello, is there any system for this trash? : < I've probably searched everything Thanx!

Is anyone else running their build environment in a VM? Specifically hosted by QEMU? I'm running into some strange things, and wondering if anyone has seen it. I'm running an Ubuntu (20.04) in a VM using QEMU as the hypervisor. Basically, the build generally works fine. However, as I add more features/processes to the customization script, I am starting to see segmentation faults. I see this with sudo and when I try to git pull something. This is what I get: qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped Segmentation fault (core dumped) I got here by dumping into a bash script from 'customize-image.sh', so it'…

I have a small group of Orangepi R2's that I'm setting up as remote snort monitors. It's my first experience with Armbian, and Orangepi and I'm very impressed. I have an odd issue that is puzzling, not of practical importance to what I'm doing, but annoying none the less. The set up I'm running is based on the main Armbian buster "Armbian_20.02.0-rc1_Orangepi-r1_buster_current_5.4.14.

Hi, I have and Orange Pi PC board on which I'm trying to use Armbian from yestarday, "trying" because I have several different problems on which I investigated also on this forum, but I'm unable to solve at the moment (the reason because I'm writing here). Let's start from the beginning. I downloaded the armbian image from armbian website (https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/), version I'm using now is Armbian 20.08.1 Buster with Linux 5.8.5-sunxi, but I have tried also other versions with exact same behaviour. The first problem is time synchronization root@orangepipc:~# timedatectl Local time: Thu 2020-09-03 16:34:17 CE…

Anything involved with screen blanking /MUST/ be removed or disabled, on the bpim5, and it exists in so many places it took me 2 days of poking around to stop the no recovery except reboot if un-used for more than 15 minutes regardless of what it happens to be running at the time. When a blanker kicks in, the monitor powers down and the bpim5 goes inactive with only the red pwr led on steady, and nothing wakes it up except the reset button. These things use so little power that it doesn't bither me a bot to leave them running. I have an rpi4b running a big metal lathe that works as intended, with uptimes in years, this should be the same. It w…

Hi there, I have too many SBCs running Armbian with very recent kernels (even two Raspberry Pi 3B), and I love the consistency of my herd. I will change job next month, and I will at last be able to have a Linux machine as my daily driver... The thing is, I will need Windows too for video editing so that I need to keep it available when needed. I was thinking of Manjaro or Linux Mint for the freshness of their kernels (as the laptop hardware is pretty recent), but I gave a try yesterday at Armbian on x86_64, and it went almost well. I did not go as well as @NicoD's attempt in his latest video, but it is encouraging anyhow. So... Is there anything like…

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've got Jammy Minimal running on my EspressoBin v7 from Armbian_23.5.1_Espressobin_jammy_current_5.15.113_minimal. All seems to be working except the NICs do not auto-start with the system. Only lo starts. I have to "ip link set lan0 up" and "dhclient" each time it reboots. My /etc/network/interfaces: source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # Network is managed by Network manager auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto lan0 allow-hotplug lan0 iface lan0 inet dhcp The NetworkManager.service is running. How do I make lan0 auto start? Thanks

Hi, I am using Armbian 5.90 on an BananaPi as a RTL-TCP server for an RTL-SDR stick which plugs in the USB port. Everything work fine since more than a year. Now since one of the latest updates, the RTL-TCP server doesn't work anymore 24/7. After a while, I can not connect to the server anymore. I studied the logs and it seems, that kernel/udev/upowerd powers off the USB-port where the RTL-SDR stick is plugged. The stick reinitializes, but the binding of the stick to the running server gets lost. There seems to be something new to the kernel/system which cyclically drops the USB connection to my stick. Any ideas, how to …

Hi all i'm trying to boot my Orange Pi bord over the network. For this purpose i'm going to use SPI Flash memory to load bootloader (Uboot). I found a tool named nand-sata-install introduced by Igor.

Hi there, Is there a way to make an automatic switch between AV and HDMI when HDMI connector is connected/disconnected? ie By default AV composite signal is ON, if HDMI is detected while booting, then video and sound are output to HDMI instead of AV/L/R output. I read that if both TV out and HDMI are enable at the same time it can result in artifacts on HDMI and for that reason TV was disabled by default. So is there a way to detect if HDMI is plugged in, and if so disable TV out. I would say it needs 2 .bin files with each config, but how to detect if HDMI is present before loading .bin and load the right .bin according to situation? …

Hello, I'm trying to build a image using the amazing auto builder supplied by armbian. In the past I've build kernels and modules for linux running at CycloneV-Devices. I don't need graphic support. If I use the image for a M2 Plus there is a initialization issue at mmc: MMC: SUNXI SD/MMC: 0, SUNXI SD/MMC: 1 Card did not respond to voltage select! mmc_init: -95, time 22 So I'm stuck. Is there a way to get it running by using the auto builder? Using the stock image provided by the manufacturer works. Regards, Sombohan

Hello everyone, I have a home dashboard (apache2 + php website) on this bananapi since 2018, when I installed a new SSD on it, now I noticed I can't open my dashboard anymore, and when I checked the logs I seen the drive was set to read-only mode.

Hi everyone, I'm using a Nanopi NEO2 as a NAS (link : https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=222) and it's provided with an armbian jessie version.

Hello, I am running a Cubietruck with Armbian 21.08 Buster. I wonder if this can be upgraded to 22.02. The usual apt update apt upgrade apt dist-upgrade does not install any new packages. However I see e.g. the deb files for the kernel are existing in http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/pool/main/l/linux-5.15.25-sunxi/ and also http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/dists/buster/main/binary-armhf/Packages contains the new packages. The kernel is NOT set to freeze in armbian-config. Also that tool does not offer the new 20.02 packages. I seem to overlook something here. What prevents the installation (my apt skill are obviously limited...). …

Hi guys, I am currently working on backing up my armbian installation. Following situation: boot: sd card file system: nfs root backing up the file system is not an issue, there I am using a rsync logic that transfers only changed files, which works great. The problem is with the boot files. In case of sd card failure I need an image that I can quickly restore to a new sd card, without the whole file system, as it is on nfs root and backed up differently. Now my question is: what is the best way to create an image file with only the boot logic? On Raspbian this is simple, as the boot device is a fat32 partition, but on …

Hi, I'm trying to enable the I2C at the U-BOOT stage, but so for with no success.

So I just got my Orange Pi Prime board today and I tried the Ubuntu Bionic desktop image on it. (Armbian 20.02.3 Bionic current 5.4.18 desktop) Things didn't go like I expected... When I got into the desktop, all I saw was a missing taskbar, a white background (instead of a grey one) with a penguin on it. However, all the items on the taskbar worked normally. I thought that wasn't much until I tried to open Chromium, the whole window was white and I couldn't interact with it. I couldn't open the terminal either (clicking on its entry in the menu didn't launch it) I was shocked as I thought something was wrong with my board. So I told myself …

Good afternoon! Who started Armbian on Sunvell R69? I ran it with the settings of beelinkx2.bin. There is no Wi-Fi and the processor heats very much, more than 77. We had to reduce the maximum frequency to 1008 mhz and memory to 408 mhz. With settings orangepizero.bin I immediately get a problem with the video. Does anyone have the necessary settings for the Sunvell R69 Thank you.

Does "orangepi3" also support Orange Pi 3 LTS? The board looks different from the Orange Pi 3 on the download page and has a different number of USB ports.

I was using bananian for the last year(and I still do) on a M1 for a operational running webservice. Is it worth the time to switch to armbian? Are there any big differences? I want to switch the board sometime in the future; thats why I'm interested in the more flexible armbian in the first place. But right now I cant find a good alternative to the M1 for my use case.

I've already benchmarked a computer-interactivbe task (like image processing) on the Orangepi 5 plus's processor——and it wrapped up in just 40 minutes, which is impressively fast. Therefore, I' like to try the NPU. Anyone know how to tap into its NPU for AI workloads?

I saw references on the site to a countdown in days to a major new release, but that has now disappeared, and I also see various mentions of version 5.34 but I do not know where to obtain this.

So I saw many thread with this question. Of course there are also good answers but I just don't understand. Out of the box HDMI works(hdmi2hdmi). Hdmi2dvi=doesn't work. Analog AV=doesn't work. I'm supposed to disable the hdmi and enable av-out by script.bin with something like [disp_init] My question is where is this file located? Am I suppose to vi create it? Hopefully someone could provide step by step or point me to the right direction with detailed information.

Don't get me wrong i use SAMBA because i have not played so much with NFS. I agree with you, i have my weekly battle VS.

It was because of that i asked ;-) I have read alot of articles about NFS. So only if you had the golden trick or something you use in the daily? Thanks.

I downloaded and installed the Ubuntu noble image. Was this the correct one for my Raspberry Pi400 if I wanted the rolling release version? Thanks

Hello, I'm pretty new to configuring networks completely with /etc/network/interfaces and have my problems with understanding how to set up my ports adequately. What I want to do is: I want to run a DHCP-Server on all the LAN-Ports and want to use the wireless Connection as a Gateway (using NAT, no bridge). I found this to setup the Switchports as bridged.https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/511#issuecomment-262571252 But I don't know how to set the whole system up. I read lots of introduction but all people are using the WAN-Port as Gateway and setting the wireless as Access Point. That's not what I want to do. And I also was…

How do you connect to a wpa network?.

Ok this sound soooo noob. I have long experience in linux and android development but this is my very first time with SBC, so please be patient I just received my new Orange PI PC plus! I want to install some stable and constantly developed distro for a headless server and I chose Armbian. On http://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/i read that 5.15 bring important update like fixed board auto detection and fixed eMMC install script). BUT I can only find 5.14 on armbian site! So...without compiling it by myself (i want to gather more experience before build it myself), how can i get the latest version? I think I could do something like: 1) instal…

Hi, Trying to build a full installation for an Orange Pi One. Building on a DigitalOcean ubuntu 15.10x64 host with 20Gb free disk where apt-get update has been run. I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib The build fails with Installing Armbian on top of Debian Jessie base system ... bridge-utils Installation of package failed. Screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/uDyMUyPMSnVL What am I doing wrong? The reason I am trying to do this is because I would like to create a custom Armbian where the wpa_supplicant.conf is preloaded with my home wifi information, so I can just boot these cards headlessly and they'll…

There is a recent Etcher.io bug in Linux https://github.com/resin-io/etcher/issues/1955 causing errors writing images. While we're hoping to release Etcher 1.3.1 soon, but as a temporary workaround you can do to manually downgrade to 1.2.1 : sudo apt-get remove etcher-electron sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install etcher-electron

Dear all, I love Armbian on my Banana Pro and so I also would like to use this OS on my brand mew Odroic C2. Every installation and configuration works except installing TVHeandend. I tried to compile it because via armbian-config it does not work. But it does not matter which branch I use and which option I try it is not possibe to install on mainline or legacy version. I do not need transcoding - the TVHeadend server just should serve my Kodi with dvbs. Can anybody send me an instruction to compile TVHeadend with Armbian on Odroid C2 sucessuflly? Maybe it is possible to compile completely without ffmpeg? T…

Hi guys, I have a BPI-M3, and wanted to roll my own build, given the current dissatisfaction with the builds provided by Sinovoip themselves. In any case, I have tested this locally, and it builds a bootable sd card, which works on UART only. It doesn't have working ethernet or WiFi, but at least you can interact with it over UART. Please feel free to review and comment on the script, and let me know if there are any issues running in your environment (ie, prerequisites that I have already, and make an invalid assumption that it is present). As per the comment inside the script, it will wipe the sdcard specified, and repartition with one partition whic…

I recently bought a used OrangePi 5, when it arrived it had a working Ubuntu image on an SD card. I decided to format the card and put my own image of Armbian on the card using the Armbian imager. when installed the card would no longer boot. lights on board but black screen no HDMI output. I tried several different SD cards and different images all with the same result (A1 Sandisk cards) Eventually I tried a hail mary and put an Armbian image on a really old USB thumb stick and it immediately booted and worked just fine. I tried putting the OrangePi os on one of my SD cards for kicks and it gets HDMI output but is just stuck on th…

Hi everyone, I just installed Armbian on my OrangePi 5, but I can't get it to recognize the NVMe drive. I've tried the official OrangePi Ubuntu distro, and it detects the NVMe without any issues. However, when using Armbian, it simply doesn't show up. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I would really like to use Armbian, but it seems unable to detect the NVMe on this particular device. Interestingly, I have another OrangePi 5 Pro where I installed Armbian, and it recognizes the NVMe and works perfectly fine — but not on the standard OrangePi 5. Does anyone know how to fix this issue, or can you recommend a good alternative? …

Hello, I am running Armbian on my Hummingboard i2eX, currently with Debian Buster on 4.9.7 kernel. For running some legacy HW (s0vz, counting impulses) I have to mux several GPIO pins to use them for input. Following http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1571.html on 4.x kernel, I always was able to mux e.g. gpio-73 with devmem 0x020e0138 32 0x15 and then set the pin for input with: echo 73 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "rising" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio73/edge Starting with 5.x kernel based Armbian images, I have 2 issues: muxing any IO pins with devmem seems no more possible and gpio72 is now reserved for Butto…

I'm trying to create a microSD card to boot Armbian, but first would be inserted into a Windows laptop to edit some configuration. To make the microSD show up in Windows, the first partition must be a FAT partition, and so Linux would be ext4 partion 2. I suspect I'll need to put the /boot partition on the FAT volume, with directions to load from mmcblk1p2. In case it matters, this is a Rock64 without emmc. I've just started this research, but I'd be grateful for any u-boot-savvy person's help here. Thanks.

Flashed legacy trusty server for Cubox-i onto a 16G SC card. Installed this succesfully on a Cubox-i4*4 and connected with ssh (no console, after all it is a headless server). The mount command showed /dev/mmcblk0p1 on / type ext4 parted showed one aprtition 1 size 16.0G primary ext4 (as promissed, the partition was extended to use the whole card) Now comes the disturbing bit df -h /dev/mmcblk0p1 gives nonsense. df -h / responds with /dev/root 1022M 896M used 89M free Indeed, I tried to load a GUI but it got stuck on a full partition:( Ideas where this /dev/root came from and why it was not subsumed in the grand mmcblk0p1 partition?

Hello, Armbian community, I've been trying to build the Armbian kernel for my board "Orange Pi 5" with the rbd (RADOS Block Device) module enabled. I followed the standard build procedure using Armbian's build tools, and I explicitly enabled the rbd support during the menuconfig step. Despite doing this, after completing the build and installation processes, I'm unable to load the rbd module. When I attempt to load the module with modprobe rbd, I get the following error: modprobe: FATAL: Module rbd not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.160-rk35xx Here are the steps I followed: 1. Cloned the Armbian Build Repository. 2. St…

I’m using the Pine64 2GB Kickstarter’s board with the official LCD, running Armbian 5.25 Pine64 Debian (Jessie) 3.10.104 image. Everything works fine, display in terminal only and touch screen with the desktop. Now I would like to upgrade to the latest stable Armbian version (which on download page is 5.83). However now I can’t enable the LCD, although the download page says: It was a couple years back, I don’t remember exactly, but seems that was the same way I’ve used to enable the screen in old 5.25 Armbian. I’m no Linux kernel developer, but searching through the forum on the topic I found several mentions of “kernel recompile” - is there no other ways …

Hi All, Does anybody have a solution to the issue with playing video in Armbian that the MPV on-screen controls (i.e. Pause, Stop and the Timeline) isn't visible in the bottom middle of the video frame? Is there any way to get this back? Does it require a re-compile of mpv, or is this behaviour a result of the All winner undocumented blob based hardware acceleration, dumping pixels straight onto the frame buffer, with little one can do about it. Has anybody compiled mpv from scratch and not had this issue? I notice that when playing video, the video paints over the top of everything - including the mouse pointer. Photo attached with red boxes to highlight…

Hi, I'm running a FriendlyElec CM3588 board, really enjoying Armbian, but the CPU fan does not work whatsoever. It's meant to be powered from the 5V outlet marked FAN (close to MASK button). I replaced the fan with another one, same result - so hopefully it's not the hardware at fault. I never dug into fan control on Linux, anybody knows what to do?

Hi, I have a few Orange Pi PC Plus using Armbian bulldog and have two questions / issues. its my 1st post and not sure where best to ask 1. I have a python program that starts on a service, this can take around 25 seconds to start, I would like sub 20, less than 15 would be fantastic but not sure what service's to remove. reading a few posts here, I have an svg log but unable to see how i can attach?. It boots from eMMC. The program uses USB, I2C and internal UART and wi-fi 2. on a few OPi the wifi will not work. if I type in "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" it returns " no scan results" if I reboot, it finds this. I have a lot of OPi and some have a wifi issue s…

Hi, Is there support planned for this board anytime soon? I've been using Armbian on my Banana Pi M1 since more than a year ago and I've been thinking of upgrading to a more powerful board and the M2 seems quite nice. Thanks!

Hi Igor. I think I found another inadvertenttant bug in the build since the desktop was unseparated out. The new build is calling chromium instead of chromium-browser, and it's breaking. It brings up a brief pink screen. When you call it from a window it calls this image below. Otherwise it is installing desktop on the H3 just fine.

Hello, I'm planning to replace my old (but very good) Banana PI (the first model, it should be called M1 if I remember). I basically use it as my personal cloud server, for some remote daily backups and for messing things up Now I'd like to replace it with something newer and maybe I'll use the Banana just for experimental purpose. So I searched the internet but can't find something that really fits my needs, maybe somebody with more knowledge than me can give me an advice. It should have, at least: - SATA (which is a feature I can't find in many boards ) - Gigabit Ethernet (a must) - USB 3 (at least 1 port) - 1 GB of RAM (2 are b…

Hi there, this might be a dumb question but I've done some searching and haven't gotten any closer to a solution, so, my apologies. I need to connect to my NanoPi M4 over the serial UART because I've made the eMMC unbootable, and I need to tell the board to boot from microSD so I can fix it. I've attempted to do this in both 'minicom' and 'screen' at 1500000 8N1 and the result is the same either way. I can see output from the NanoPi just fine, but when I attempt to send characters, it only displays a question mark imprinted on a square for each character, similar to what I'd expect if e.g. the character was not in my terminal font. It's not just a …

Hi all, Despite I'm not using Armbian but Gentoo on my BananaPI, I hope I'll found some help on this forum as other BananaPI's related forum are sleeping and as many of my previous contact on LeMaker forum are now here I'm migrating my BananaPIes from Sunxi's 3.4.103 to mainline kernel, 4.1.00, and I have several questions mostly related to DTS. The 1st one : * on 3.4, I used J12's IO-8, linked to A20's PH03 to blink a Led, w/o any issue * on 4.11, the system doesn't allow me to acquire this GPIO-227 as it said it is already owned ... which is true cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio gpiochip0: GPIOs 0-287, parent: platform/1c20800…

Hi, Have a problem with Orange Pi Zero on Armbian Mainline kernel . It's based on Debian 9. It's Linux orangepizero 4.14.14-sunxi .

Currently I have a Tinkerboard S and due to lack of USB WiFi support (Tinkerboard only has 2.4ghz, but 5ghz is necessary), I need another OS or SBC. Support for CSI camera is also required. I've installed Armbian on TinkerBoard and read a couple of threads on this forum. It looks like there is no CSI support for the Tinkerboard and there is no CSI camera support coming (couldn't get the camera to work on Armbian). The Rockchip on the Tinkerboard has the advantage of H264 encoding and very useful. There are other SBC boards with dual band and Rockchip (different Rockchip than the Tinkerboard), like the RockPi or the RockPro, but I can't really find out if the C…

Hello, I'm looking for a recommendation about a SBC capable of: manage 2 x HGST HTS721010A9E630 (HDD 2,5", 1 TB) offer Gigabit ethernet connection I saw different threads where a mPCI SATA card is used (e.g. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/4845-marvell-based-4-ports-mpci-sata-30/), I don't know if there is a better option. Thanks for any tip, -f
