Hello, I have a board similar to the bananapi m3, the main difference is that it has a ram type DDR3 memory instead of a type LPDDR3. If I compile in the following way: ./compile.sh BOARD = bananapim3 The result is: HELLO! BOOT0 is starting! boot0 version: 4.0.0 rtc [1] value = 0x00010000 rtc [2] value = 0x00020000 rtc [3] value = 0x00030000 DRAM DRIVE INFO: V1.0 DRAM Type = 7 (2: DDR2.3: DDR3.6: LPDDR2.7: LPDDR3) DRAM normal_mode value: 00000001 DRAM CLK = 672 MHZ PMU: AXP81X ddr voltage = 1200 mv using ic A83T using axp AXP813 DRAM zq value: 00003bfb initializing SDRAM Fail.

Does it make sense? I would like to use the mainline armbian kernel on a custom minimal Buildroot image to use on a orange pi zero. Buildroot because of its lightness and armbian because it has Opi audio drivers and codec that doesn't seem to be included in Buildroot default kernel. If this is possible, could you help me with the configuration of Buildroot to use armbian as kernel?

I'm spending some time on one of those famous Q8 tv boxes (ENY Q8, VSmart Q8, etc...) which sports the rk3288 soc I started with recent u-boot and kernel releases. Rockchip provides a recent u-boot (late 2017) and an LTS 4.4 kernel on their rockchip-linux github account. I compiled u-boot (from here) using a the device tree source from DengueTim (available here, in arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288-q8.dts). I had to enable the serial driver though, because the device tree is "kernel flavour", instead u-boot wanted explicitly the serial port in "chosen" section. Compilation goes fine and u-boot boots from the SD card, prints Model, Ram and MMC infos on …

I was hoping for some pointers on this issue I am having while trying to enable eth0 interface on my Pine64 SBC.

I run ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.14.18-sunxi on an Orange Pi Zero. Cron and its timezone are causing me problems: it's initially one hour out - all root crons run an hour early. If I run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and set the correct region/place, cron then runs correctly until the next reboot. I can see no difference between the localtime and timezone files before and after the reconfigure (strangely, the localtime link is replaced by a file following a reconfigure - this is different from my other Armbian machines). I can work around the problem as follows: following a start/reboot I then restart the cron serv…

Hi all, I am new to linux and SBC. I have installed armbian on banana-pi M1. I want to setup a NAS and Media server for my home network. I am trying to install Openmediavault using armbian configuration as documented in the article here. But I am unable to see the openmediavault under Softy.

Dear all, so after switching from bananian to armbian around half a year ago, I've made several updates to the bananapi server running. As the prototype server is still running with bananian, some problems just occured as I am now testing a fresh install of my web-package, including nginx, mysql, php7 / laravel and some other stuff. So what I realized was that the database, even on a fresh install, is extremely slow. I thought the newer setup with debien stretch and mariadb 10.1+ might be the problem, yet running the same on the older armbian jessie build did not change anything. I also set up a fresh virtual machine running debian stretch with two cores,…

Hi Sorry for my poor english... My board is a Rpi+ 2E connected to a Xoro 2442 TV by HDMI. I have installed RetrOrangePi. My problem is : - If I do h3disp -m 1080p60 my image is cropped, I think there are no overscan and I can't configure overscan on my TV ... - If i do : h3disp -m 1080p60 -d I know this is where we have a DVI adapter, but... that's strange : sometimes ... my tv displays (on bottom) : "HDMI 1080p@60", sound is ok, but my image is green. sometimes, my TV displays (on bottom) "HDMI 1920x1080@60" my image is ok (not cropped) but I have no sound ...

Hello Pin A18 is HIGH when OPI ONE boots but I want to change OPI ONE pin A18 to LOW. How could I do this?

alright thanks @edupv Oh, and one another problem that bugs me once every one or two week in armbian 5.27, but in 5.40 it's almost everyday, The UASP stopped responding requests, it freeze entire system for several minutes, and every I/O to my hard drive makes the OS unresponsive. I was using ASMedia ASM1153E a years ago, and it show much problem. So I switch to JMicron JMS578, which doesn't error as often like ASMedia 1153E. I already read here (http://linux-sunxi.org/USB/UAS) and found out both ASM1153E and JMS578 is listed as OK right now. below is dmesg output when it started to freeze when I'm copying a file from my PC to…

I have several Pi3s and two Asus Tinkers. They work well, Tinker is a bet better of the two.

I downloaded Armbian_5.38_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14 for the orangepi-one and startet armbian-config. In dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration I changed the layout to german-german but it has no effect, the layout remains to the international layout (qwerty etc).

Hi: I used the following command ./compile.sh BOARD="orangepiplus2" BRANCH="next" KERNEL_ONLY="no" KERNEL_CONFIGURE="no" BUILD_DESKTOP="no" to successfully built an image out: I then use the following command line: dd bs=4M if=Armbian_5.40_Orangepiplus2_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.17.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 conv=fsync to write my SD card successfully. However, when I put this SD card into my Orange Pi Plus 2 v1.1 and boot, I obtained several pages of ERROR messages, as in the attached images. Can anybody give me a hand please? Cheers Pei

I have Google assistant running on Armbian on an Orange Pi Lite headless system. The sound output is via a USB sound card, as the Orange Pi Lite does not have n audio jack, but the volume is too low, even with volume set to max on alsamixer. I've been trying to figure out how to enable pre-amp, but have been unsuccessful. The current asoundrc is: pcm.!default { type asym capture.pcm "mic" playback.pcm "speaker" } pcm.mic { type plug slave { pcm "hw:0,0" format S16_LE } } pcm.speaker { type plug slave { pcm "hw:2,0" } } The only options in alsamixer are those pictured below and even with the volume at max, the output is too low.

On Xenial A64 I added an entry for a LUKS partition into /etc/crypttab (after installing cryptsetup which added its stuff to uBoot). But at boot I don't get asked for a password If I add a timeout in crypttab, boot continues with a rescue console, if not it hangs forever. Other than that I have no clue what's going on, journalctl only shows "systemd-cryptsetup failed, status 1" obviously because no password was given. I also added dm-crypt to modules and called update-initramfs, but that didn't change anything

Sorry if that already has been answered, couldn't find anything via search function: I have a 1920x1200 TFT attached, works well with 1080p but of course everything is a bit stretched. I tried to understand how boot.cmd/scr work, but essentially there are no entries in those files for that resolution. Search for fdt_disp_mode showed up exactly 2 hits on Google So I'm a bit lost. Is it possible at all?

Hi, I downloaded Armbian 4.14.14 and I installed it on my Banana PI. Then I configured it to act as Gateway/Firewall. Now, just before I start active using it, I wanted to backup the installation on a second SD-card, just in case... I buyed a Toshiba 8GB Class 10 and I started to copy the data from my "old" SD-Card (SanDisk 8GB Class 10), first with Linux using dd, then under Windows using Win32DiskImager. Always the same problem: if I boot the Banana PI with the new card the system boots and, before I get the login screen, the system restarts in a loop... With the "old" card of course it works... Can someone …

This is a FYI: My armbian did not automount my USB-disk. Possbile reason "By default, disk drives do not auto-mount in Ubuntu Server Edition.". Anyway: I solved it with usbmount: First install usbmount. Then, in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf change the line #MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime" to MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,user,umask=0000" to make it writeable for all users.

I have been trying to install a minimal XFCE4 desktop environment onto my Orange Pi Zero 2+ H5 but have run into a weird issue. Here is the command I use... sudo apt-get -y install xorg lightdm xfce4 tango-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme which I had found elsewhere in the forums. The main issue I have is that I cannot start the desktop with the normal user account. It works if I startup with this... sudo startxfce4 which runs the root user desktop, but fails when I try to run it as just a user. Does anybody know what I have done wrong?

Hello- I'm looking to marry free and open (as possible) software and hardware into one inexpensive system. I'm in over my head so apologies in advance if I'm asking silly stuff. I did check the basics on here and have been lurking. At any rate I've been messing around with the Lime 2 and haven't had much luck getting Parabola to boot into LXDE... or any GUI at all actually. I thought I'd try Armbian as the Debian Kernel has been blob-less for a while now. I really, really like it so far. I am using Mainline, just want to make sure I'm running all free software if possible. I have checked for non-free stuff via: dpkg-query -W -f='$…

Hey, I'm trying to setup the ports of the switch correctly but I don't arrive anywhere. I'm using the mainline armbian for my R1. There are different files in /etc/network(e.g.): -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 495 18. Jun 2017 interfaces.r1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 610 18. Jun 2017 interfaces.r1router -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 359 18. Jun 2017 interfaces.r1switch But even if I completely copy a configuration file to /etc/network/interfaces there are still no packets arriving at the Ports named lan1 to lan4. I checked this with tcpdump -i interfaceName, but all packets are arriving at eth0. Only some IPv6 packets are arriving at the lan-ports. …

Hi everybody, I’m trying to find how to view image by selecting it by reference (image name or its sequence in folder). Ex: assume that I have 3 images 1.jpg, 2.jpg and 3.jpg in folder /home/user/ABC then when run feh and if I tape 1 in keyboard the 1.jpg will be showed and if I tape 3 then will be 3.jpg and so on until I hit ESC key. Or by sequence order: doesn’t matter the name or number of images, if I tape 1 key the first image on the folder will be shown and key 3 for 3th image..... I have I tried feh with --action but no success. ($ feh –y –F --action 1 1.jpg --action2 2.jpg ) but not what I need. Is there a way to send the key value t…

Hi, I am using Bluetooth and WiFi in the same time. Bluetooth is using for a whole time and WiFi 1 time per minute. So, I don't need WiFi connection very fast and do need most of network services. Due usage of AP6210 module, WiFi and BT shares the same communication channel (UART). I continuously send data (1Mbps) via Bluetooth. WiFi is used by my app 1 time per minute.The problem is that Bluetooth drops communication for about second. Reducing BT speed does not help. I noticed that when I download file from OPI board,that drops occurs much often. It seems that WiFi has a higher priority than BT in communication. Strange thing is that when I don't use WiFi network, i…

Today I installed the armbian build "system" as suggested by @Igor in some threads (VirtualBox with Ubuntu 16.04 64Bit and a GitHub clone). After generating a armbian 5.38 (with old kernel, bad WiFi and USB unuseable for WiFi or Ethernet) for my OPi i96 I did see that also a entry is for the BananaPi M2 Ultra. I got the little brother - the BPi M2 Berry - so I created also a image for an sd-card At the fist try I did no connect to the board (I know video driver isnt there). Ethernet isnt recognized (no DHCP and no device). The first connect I did get with a USB-WLAN Dongle (RTL8192CUS from edimax) while using a USB-TTL-seria…

Hi I managed to get my usb camera taking pictures alright on Orange PI PC+ (VERSION=5.37.180112), $uname -a Linux orangepipcplus 3.4.113-sun8i #4 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 22 13:45:28 CET 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux And I even got the GC2035 working sort of with: $sunxi-pio -m "PG11<1><0><1><1>" $modprobe gc2035 $modprobe vfe_v4l2 But I have no /dev/media0 or /dev/media1.

Hey i try to compile mali 450 drivers and force them to work. I spend a lot of time with not good results... Any one else working on this topic?

Hi all. I hope I'm posting this in the right section of the forum. I'm looking for an SBC to use as a media center (Kodi) attached to an old CRT TV to watch (among others) german DVB-T2 terrestrial broadcasts. I've set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with OSMC so far and this works well for net content but isn't up to the task of decoding the H.265 TV streams, presumably due to lack of hardware support. So, what I need is an SBC with hardware support for H.265 decoding which also sports a composite video output. Preliminary research leads me to believe that the Orange Pi series of boards should be up to the task and seem well supported by Armbian. However, I'm a bit lo…

Just after writing the image on the SDcard, I start tuning rc.local and crontab. I have found that crontab is not run before first authentification; this is an issue, because I use crontab to handle my networking; and without networking, I can not know the IP of the pi, and I can't login. I have found that after first authentification, I am asked to change the root password, then I see /etc/update-motd.d/99-point-to-faq, then /etc/profile.d/check_first_login.sh (which includesuser account creatino), but not /etc/update-motd.d/41-armbian-config After second authentification, I can see /etc/update-motd.d/41-armbian-config and /etc/update-motd.d/99-po…

Im not sure if this is the right forum. Ive also Googled and found similar problems, but no solution that works for me.

I've tried to compile libgpiod (my assumption is this is a user space lib) and it depends on gpio.h which is used by the kernel. According to https://github.com/brgl/libgpiod/issues/22 gpio.h should be installed with linux-libc-dev which is already installed and gpio.h is missing.

Has anyone tried to install PiVPN or EasyRSA on a Rock64? I tried this and had some issues where EasyRSA did not install. No errors were shown on the install or captured in the install log. Took me a while to figure out that EasyRSA was not installed. It even created .opvn files for clients... I finally figured out what happened. Did some research and found a suggestion to manually install some packages BEFORE installing PiVPN. That seems to work, so now I have a working VPN. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having an issue. I will also post on the PiVPN Github site to get their input. Thanks!

Hi there! I am using a H3 board with TV out on a small 3.5" LCD screen (with composite->RGB24 IC). But I have a problem with picture being way too bright/washed out. The LCD luminosity can be modified with LCD-driving IC buttons, when set to lower value the picture gets better but colors are still too bright (even if luminosity is low) I have tested the LCD with raspberry pi and output colors are normal. I was wondering if there is a known reason for this and if it can be fixed? So far I have just found a topic about a raspberry pi HDMI output being too bright (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=50726) They su…

Hi, I would like to use Orange Pi Zero for home automation server. I'm finding method to install os upgrades (and my own app upgrade too).

For example Ubuntu snappy core using two rootfs and user can rollback to previous version: $ sudo snappy rollback ubuntu-core Rolling back ubuntu-core: (edge 141 7f068cb4fa876c -> edge 140 184ad1e863e947) Reboot to use the new ubuntu-core. $ sudo reboot $ ssh -p 8022 ubuntu@localhost $ snappy versions -a Part Tag Installed Available Fingerprint Active ubuntu-core edge 140 …

What is the the best reasonably priced camera module for Orangepi models these days? Raspberry has 5 and 8 megapixel camera modules from 7-30 euros. Orangepi has only 2 megapixel cameras. Or has a 5MP cameramode come available for Orangepi also? I've looked at Aliexpress and nothing seems to have changed.

Hi all I would like to start this topic to discuss on the best approach for having some degree of data integrity using ARM SBC (aarch64 SoC in primis) My goal is to set a big archive, I have in program to build 5x8TB HD, scheme TBD The goal is to have at least one hard drive failure tolerance, it is acceptable that some data is lost during rebuild, since the main goal of the archive is to store picture and video, so it is tolerable that few pictures or video get corrupted, but the rebuild shall not stop in this case The write performances are not so important, but read performances shall sustain some video streaming, roughly at least 25 Mbytes/s M…

Seems like network namespaces doesn't work in Armbian 3.4 kernel. Armbian 4.13 works fine. Is it possible to fix it? How to reproduce: ip netns add test ip netns exec test ip a Armbian 3.4 shows all interfaces (it's wrong) Armbian 4.13 shows only 1 interface (lo, it's ok)

When I clone linux-sunxi git repo I can only find git tags for kernel 3.4.xx versions. Where are the git tags for kernel 4.x.x?

Hi Guys: I have been trying to write a custom overlay to use gpio-poweroff. I'm using ARMBIAN 5.37.180106 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.14.11-sunxi. Attached is the gpio-poweroff.dts file that i wrote and even as it compiles with sudo armbian-add-overlay gpio-poweroff.dts and it is added to the last line on armbianEnv.txt like user_overlays=gpio-poweroff, it doesn't work. On boot, it shows: Applying user provided DT overlay gpio-poweroff.dtbo failed on fdt_overlay_apply() FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND Error applying DT overlays, restoring original DT All the other other overlays ilke i2c0, uart3 works perfeclty. Any…

Hello! Sorry, if my English is bad. I have an Orange PC board. I try Armbian desktop OS, and it works well. But when I try a server version, and install xorg: after installation, startx get me a error "No screen found". Why? Is there another packages needed to install? I use Debian on my desktop system, and X system works well after I install just "xorg" package.

Hey guys and a happy new year! I am working on a custom H3 board and I just got the prototypes from the oven. I am now trying to boot armbian on them. And as it's first prototypes I expected problems but I have trouble figuring out. I think it's because of my lack of understanding the boot process. See picture of the board enclosed. It don't tell much but it's nice to have a visual I think. On top right is a battery manager/power input. Right under is AXP8036 that makes 4 buck channels (1.35V for ram, 1.2V sys, 1.3Vcpu and 3.3V) Most is similar with orange pi PC schematic, there is few changes : - crystal and wifi is sa…

I have problem, I am not able to get console working to access my nanopi neo air. PSU is not issue, opi+2 runs with same power w/o issues. Sdcard is not problem either. Tested with more than one image and based on how onboard leds behaves, i believe that system boots up ok. Now the question: How to modify image on sdcard so that it connects to my WIFi (WPA2-PSK) on boot automatically making ssh to nano working? Or should I mount image, before writing to sdcard, and do the needed changes inside mounted image? What and how? Thanks!

Hi, I have a generic brand tvbox (Nilox NXBAP210101) and I would like to compile the Ubuntu xenial version of Armbian. I tried some image of armbian for Olimex from MicroSD and start but I do not have WiFi or LAN and then I did some research on my hardware. This tvbox seems to be an i12-tvbox in fact has the following hardware components: CPU Allwinner A20 1GB Ram DDR3 (512MB x2) N2CB4G16BP-DI 4GB NAND Flash Memory H27UBG8T2BTR 10/100Mbps Ethernet ICplus IP101A 802.11b/g/n WiFi + BT4.0 Ampak AP6210 IR Receiver I would love to use this device fully and then I would like to be able to recompile the distro for my hardware. …

Happy New Year to Everyone, Am I right to assume there is no power management at all when using a SSD on a usb to sata adapter in Linux? I have this crazy plan to salvage a broken laptop and replace the dead motherboard with a sbc and other components to make the laptop useful again and one with better battery life, than 3 hours while building websites it used to give me. When the usb to sata adapter is plugged in alone, it consumes 50ma more which is ok. Add my 120gb ssd and adds another 150ma which I think is normal for the drive when idle but no sata link power management. I tried using powertop, --calibrate then --auto-t…

The armbian I am running Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.31 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.11.5-sun8i and few other versions that I tried have same issue with accessing GPIO from python as non root, and I, of course, need to access GPIO as non root however I setup permissions for /dev and /sys and whatever udev rules I configure there is some race condition and I can't get access to GPIO as a non root from python typical error is something like: :IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/sys/class/gpio/gpio1/direction' So I solved it by some hack of the OPi.GPIO library and udev rules that are not really feasible "always" so I'm tryin…

Hi all, As I will buy a sunvell r69 board, which is H2 + EMMC, so I want to build armbian firmware for it. But I can not find the building config for H2 with EMMC, so how can I change the building config ? Thanks.

Hi everybody, I have OrangePi PC Plus board, which has EMMC. I downloaded image from armbian website, as I want to instll armbian image to EMMC via USB with PhoenixSuit instead of instll_to_emmc command, but it failed. PhoenixSuit reported that it couldn't recognize the firmware. Is there any tools to insall Linux-like firmware to EMMC ? Thank you very much.

Currently the only way to get a working GC2035 camera at Orange PI PC Plus, is to 1) install Armbian 5.20 or 5.23 ( 5.24 / 5.25 and anything newer is known not to work) 2) then you need to carefully apt-get update / apt-get upgrade and hope it doesnt break However, there is a huge problem: Armbian 5.20 and 5.23 images are not available now They should have been available at these links: Armbian 5.20 - https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipcplus/archive/Armbian_5.20_Orangepipcplus_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.112.7z Armbian 5.23 - https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipcplus/archive/Armbian_5.23_Orangepipcplus_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.112.7z …

So I've got this 88SE9215 based board that is similar to the ones already posted except that it uses single SAS port instead of x4 SATA ports. The board comes with a splitter cable 1 SAS to 4 SATA + LED head. The cable is completely compatible with the board as the seller claims. I will attach pictures below. The board is detected (as per below), but if I attach disks they do not show up in the system at all. dmesg has no new messages and the disk is shutdown after 20-30 seconds (parks head and stops the motor) with lsscsi showing nada. Any thoughts on why I cant get it work? Now when I plug this board and boot, from `dmesg | grep ata` I get 4 new …

Hi all, I have a strange problem, when I make any file system changes, I can count to 10, pull out the power, and my changes are lost. My application sometimes requires changing of a settings file, and then quickish disconnection of power by the user (I know its not good, but it's a fact of the product) My current solution is to flush the write cache when I save the settings, I forget the command name, but that isn't ideal as other changes such as logging is lost. I'm using the armbian debian release at the moment. How can I change this write-cache timing to something like 2 seconds? Also, is this an SD-card technology issue or will the issue…

Armbian documentation on Overlays refers to /boot/armbianEnv.txt. But in the version of Armbian that I'm running (on a Cubietruck, ARMBIAN 5.36 user-built Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.13.16-sunxi) there is no such file. There is however a copy in directory /usr/share/armbian. Is this the overlay file that is processed at start-up? If so, it would be good if the documentation was updated.

Hi, guys. I need some help in understanding of usage AR100 (OpenRISC) coprocessor inside H3 SoC for the own real-time tasks. Now i'm using mainline kernel built with RT-PREEMPT patch. I'm using it with Machinekit (LinuxCNC) software to control stepper drivers/motors via GPIO step/dir pulses. But step pulses frequency is too slow (about 17 kHz) because the RT kernel latency is about 30 us. I think we can use the built-in coprocessor for the realtime GPIO toggling. The AR100 and main Cortex-A7 can talk to each other with built-in MSGBox. And the question is - how to launch my own firmware on the AR100 core?

Hi Sirs, for first excuse me for my English. I followed all the instructions, used a 8GB class 10 SD Card, burned it with the program proposed, put in the Box but obtained only a purple led. After 30 mintes no other results. I don't know if I missed some steps, but it seems to do all correctly. No results at all at the present time. The S/N is X2HCAAG40056. Maybe could be blocked for upgrade or other? Actually the Vendor is 207K4. Thank you for your possible help. Have a Merry Christmas Gianluca

Hello, I am trying to setup a hotspot with a static IP using hostapd, dnsmasq on wlan0, which is unmanaged by network-manager. wlan1 is managed by network-manager, and uses dns=dnsmasq inside the network-manager.conf file. I have disabled systemd-avahi-daemon.socket + service and deteded isc-dhclient-X (common), because it seems my DNS is conflicting. Now it happens that the power management goes ON, on wlan1, altough I have wifi.power_save = 2. How can this all happen? Just want to use /etc/network/interfaces the anachronistic way, but network-manager and other dns services from the beginning are conflicting. Can …

On H3, this can be done by editing script.bin That file has been replaced by Device Tree on H5 board, /boot/orangepi/OrangePiH5orangepi.dtb However, many have reported that editing that file can not enable RCA, see https://github.com/OrangePiLibra/OrangePi_H5SDK/issues/7 So what should I do to enable it? Is there an easy way to do it without compiling the kernel?

Tvheadend does not install in 5.35 version Debian. It misses at least one library.

I installed aiohttp and lighttpd. Both work on the chromium browser locally. When I port forward them. I can access them with my public ip address. But I can't access them just by typing their local ip in my laptop's browser that is on the same LAN network. So im not really sure what is going one here, something dns related ?

Hi , My son purchased a PCdunio v3, wifi enabled with his birthday money with the grand plan of "coding". This idea is slowly going down the drain. It is using Ubuntu 3.4.79+ It does not detect any wifi or ethernet. I have confirmed that both interfaces are up. I have tried with and without the SD card. I confirmed the router is not blocking the device. I can see that the State of wlan0 is unmanaged, but cant figure out how to fix that. I have tried manually creating entries for the network but this was unsuccessful. When it does try to connect to Wired Network, it simply got stuck looking for an IP address and never amounted to anything (Nothing in the ro…

When Ubuntu server – legacy kernel. When i open mopidy and Logitech media server ports 9000 and 6680 should be open. But only port 22 is open. I use orange pi plus. I have not had that problem with any other os on raspberry pi or orange pi

Looking in the forums for a few days and reading up on a lot of stuff, I got the zero to boot from spi and USB, fairly easy once you got the right commands, and replacing "linux-u-boot-next-orangepipc2_5.34_arm64" with the version on the image for the board. The I tried NFS shares and that worked fine to, but now I want to boot directly from another server, providing different folders for each board that I have and use spi for the boot. The reading the forum again to find out more about NFS booting, and mostly found this "hurray I got it to work" then kind of leaving the rest of us hanging there thinking HOW??? I was then reading about uboot and fo…

Hi everybody, My question is about stop a running program with C. I have written a c code to start program with system() function in orange pi zero. I am starting RTKLIB software, which is STR2STR and when my code starts the software with command str2str -in serial://ttyS1:115200 -out serial:ttyS2:115200, I can stop it with CTRL^C but I want to stop it from my software. When I got a TCP pocket containing a exit status word. It should stop the STR2STR software. I am not very good at linux. How can I do that? Thanks

Hi, From a quick search of the forum this appears to be happening across different CPUs so I am posting here rather in the H3 forum. Using the current updated legacy version. ARMBIAN 5.36 Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i /var/log/syslog gets repeated messages due to xconsole not being installed.

I have a script, that should turn off the usb power (i need to turn off smog-meter, in order to preserve laser). It should actually work in a way, that turns on, measures, turns off and waits for the next iteration.

Hello. I'm the one who is the owner of Banana Pi M3... Vendor provides "not so good" OS images... And I want to use best available kernel with the best available linux distr. So, my first question is about kernel version. Can armbian run under 3.4.39 kernel? https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M3-bsp To make build reproducible I need to fork this repo and made modifications of the file tree. As I know, Banana Pi M3 now can boot under mainline uboot. Also, there are some binary blobs to support GPU on this board, and I want to try those packages to get hardware acceleration.
