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…

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. PCM does not apper…

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?

hello guys ! I'm working with armbian 5_14 and orange pi plus 2 . I'm using the only eMMC and I'd like to make a backup to an SD card What is the best way to do that? Thanks and ciao Walter

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 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…

by asking sudo iptable -l i get this

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, 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…

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…

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?

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 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 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…

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, 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.

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…

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.

Could someone remind me of the status of the H3 crypto engine, both hardware (capabilities, aes-ni ?) and software (mainline or vanilla kernels) ? I've been testing openvpn on an amlogic s905 box (still need to fix my beelink x2 problems) and as expected i'm hitting a cpu bottleneck. i've been able to achieve around 60Mbps (Blowfish-cbc, usb hdd, ext4) but openvpn being single threaded the cpu load maxes out thus limiting openvpn's bandwidth. Unfortunately as with most vpn providers you can't tweak all parameters and so, changing the tun-mtu size is not possible and has to stay at the default 1500 value. I will perform some tests on my beelink x2 or opi pc…

Anybody try to install emby server on armbian? I try to use this howto: LINK But I get dependecy error: Can somebody help?

For any one interested in software defined radio the OrangePi.pc and Armbian 5.05 software is a killer combination. The extra horsepower of the Allwinner H3 quad core and the clean Armbian Linux implementation give you a great platform for Software defined Radio. The $10 low cost RTL2838 dongle has an enormous amount to offer. But plugging it into a big computer laptop is not always practical It is often better to put the RTL2838 dongle as close to the antenna as possible. This could mean a long USB cable and voltage drop issues. So now you can buy a $9.99 Orange Pi.one and use it as a RTL to ethernet/ opt.wifi extender. You "just" Plug the RTL2838…

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)

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!

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…

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?

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.

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…

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.

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 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

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.

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…

Hi! Yesterday i upgraded ugly Chinese linux to Armbian 16.04 LTS and tested h3control on it. All, except daemon installer, worked fine. Now daemon installer had been fixed. I need any help in testing of it on H3/H2/H5 boards with legacy/mainline kernels. h3control - is a headless daemon/console tool to check and control CPU, DDR frequency and built-in temperature sensor via embedded http-server. It distinguishes from Armbian tools (h3's consumption and monitor): It doesn't rely on particular linux distribution. The only prerequisite is a mono. It tested with mono from 3.2.8 (released in Feb 2014) to 5.4 (current stable). It is a web a…

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.

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.

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.

Hi, in addition to some research regarding a few quality SD cards I wanted to ask our users to contribute to some collective benchmarking.

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…

Hi everyone, I know this question has been answered earlier, but maybe something has changed with the recent versions of U-boot and kernel.

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?

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…

Hello to everybody and happy holidays... I have a rather simple question..i have installed OOlite but it seems a little old as version and the expansions seems to need newer version...so does anybody knows which is the latest versions that i can install on my Beelink X2 ...? Also as a sidenote when i launch the application the mouse cursor flashes rather annoyingly so if there is a solution to this it would be nice.... TIA

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 all. I am not sure but it seems that all my Orange Pi boards will reboot by itself. I assume it is a setting some-ware as I see in the syslog something about unattended upgrades. If it is a setting where can I switch that off ? Regards.

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. Ref: https://devcentral.nasqueron.org/T806 https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=136&t=21897 The solution is to comment out the last few lines in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf nano /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf so it looks like ... # NOTE: adjust the list below, or you'll go crazy if yo…

Hi, image-copied xenical desktop 5.35 img for my OrangePi Lite. Everything went OK, but after enabling $ sudo armbian-config -> Switch to standard login manager, whenever I logout, SSHd, x11vncd stops. Pinging doesn't get answer from OrangePi Lite. All I have to do is connect keyboard to OrangePI Lite USB port to type in the login password by hand. Then, everything comes up again. Please help.

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. The code used I believe on A20 is: /usr/bin/sunxi-pio -m PH26'' however it does not work on H2+ Any suggestion, what would work?

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.

Hi I am trying to prepare SD card that I will be able to copy the same image to several boards: - I have my final OS on EMMC of "mother" board(installed with nand-sata-install), - copy os to SD card using dd if=...of=.., so I got .img file How to clone emmc content to another boards? I know I can use nand-sata -install (preprare my final OS on SD card and the copy to all boards), but it is not quick way. Raw copy is much faster. Any ideas? Of course dd if=my.img of=/emmc does not work - some problem with boot.

Hello, I run my program system as a service in console mode, so no login is needed. The Linux system starts up almost quietly after changes in boot.scr. The only "small" thing that needs a solution is the login prompt. How can I prevent login prompt from appearing? I've tried some autologin options I found for different Linux systems, but they didn't work for me. Any suggestion?

Hi! I've been interested in getting a SBC for a while now and I've done a bit of “researching” during the past two weeks. I'm getting quite frustrated searching for the right one since every board seems to have a list of disadvantages which I probably don't fully understand. I also am not sure what processor/specs would be fit for my needs. The Armbian community seems to be very productive and helpful so I'm asking you to please aid me with your SBC suggestions based on the description below. My wishes a) File server: * (High priority) To run (audio) server software (Logitech Media Server/Squeezebox Server) that serves files (flac) to a net…

There are already several boards with the small SPI flash installed. This is perfect for the u-boot storage. Than the board starts from this SPI flash and looks for the /boot folder on SD card and USB storage. I've moved the system from the SD to USB HDD included the /boot folder and removed the SD card. When I power-on the board, the HDD starts and everything works fine. But when rebooted, the HDD is suspended at the shutdown end and the u-boot doesn't wait until it starts again and the booting fails as "No USB storage found". Is there any way how to disable the HDD suspend in the system? I was looking around how to disable this function somehow in the HDD itself ( Maxto…

At first, I used 3.x kernel with Armbian_5.30_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img. This has a problem displaying my hdmi 5inch 800x600 lcd. So I changed the kernel to 4.x with nightly build image, Armbian_5.32.170706_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.8.img. It displays well from u-boot. For x window, I installed Xorg and ubuntu-desktop. When I run startx, it says unable to connect to X server: Connection refused. What should I do for x window? I want to use Chromium.

The espressobin has three ethernet ports. In Ubuntu Armbian, left to right (looking into the ports), they're called "lan1", "lan0", and "wan". The weird thing is that you can't bring them up until you've *first* brought up eth0, which is not associated with a physical port. This causes all kinds of havoc trying to use /etc/network/interfaces/, because it takes a couple of seconds for eth0 to come up, in which time the other interfaces have already failed. 1) What is this mysterious eth0? 2) My attempts to bridge lan0 and lan1 from .../interfaces have failed. Got an example you can give me?

Hello Armbian Community, As you can see by my post count, I am new to Armbian, but so far have found it to be an amazing resource, and truly appreciate the hard work you all do. Its really impressive, and your knowledge and understanding of SBC’s is incredible. I am attempting to get Armbian working on a custom A64 device that was originally designed to be used as a Point-of-sale machine, that runs Android. I understand I am venturing into uncharted territory here, and this is absolutely not supported, but it’s a fun project and I am learning a ton. I am asking for help, but realize none may be available. Here is the hardware I have in hand. …

Good evening! Is there anyone experience in installing the drivers for this device? The official website has the driver vga2usb-3.30.2.10-raspbian-4.4.11-v7+-arm.deb which apparently is rigidly attached to the core. Does anyone have any ideas on installation?

How/where do i set how active screen appears? it covers(out of screen) task bar. it doesn't have minimize full or exit option. Can't drag. Alt +f4 doesn't work.

Did anyone get kernel 4.14 running on any H2+? If yes, can you submit a complete boot log?

Hi All. As you may have read at my HDMI post, I have tried two different OpiPC images, the default one here, and the current RetrorangePi. On the first one, I used this tutorial: and it worked perfectly, well almost. I got some errors because the usbids isn't on here, nor is modprobe. But it worked. Then I tried the retro image and went back to do the same process, but no matter what I do I can't see to get rid of error messages. I've tried to put ARCH=ARM and arm. I've tried TARGET=LINUX. None of the tips out there seem to work. pi@RetrOrangePi:/usr/src/DPO_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.4_20130913$ sudo make ARCH=arm make -C tools …

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. The highest release in github seems to be 5.24. How does one find this? Apologies if this appears to be a stupid question - I looked everywhere.

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

Is it possible to include sysrq support in the beta kernel? Thanks.

Hi guys! After moving my project from Raspberry to Orange i`ve got an issue with gpio access. I`m using Lighttpd as webserver and running python scripts from touching buttons there. But on armbian it doesn`t work because of permissions settings. here is screenshot of simple script that turns on led tried lots of google finds, but without any success. What is wrong? oh, i`m using pyA20 library

What is a good h2/h3 board to start getting into armbian? I see that there are a few vendors with issues so just wanted to see what is reliable. Wifi + BTLE would be a plus. Thanks

Hi guys, I am trying to make autostart of my app, but the app is launched by bash script that automatically launch the app again when crashed: (it finds the latest application version and then launch...then it is waiting for crash , rerun and wait again) - when I placed this script in /etc/profile.d, my system got stuck on my application view without loading desktop (and other needed services). #!/bin/bash sleep 30 while true do str=`ls /home/lufa/Shared/QT/xxxx* | sort -n -t _ -k 2 | tail -n1` if [ ! `pgrep $str` ] ; then $str fi sleep 30 done Thus, I added autostart.sh.desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/ like this: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application …

Hi Guys, I put this script in profile.d and my machine can't launch to the desktop. #!/bin/bash while true do str=`ls /home/lufa/Shared/QT/myapp* | sort -n -t _ -k 2 | tail -n1` if [ ! `pgrep $str` ] ; then $str fi sleep 30 done It seems that this file prevent to run desktop. I can't connect to my board by UART terminal and WiFi What is your suggestion? I am thinking to explore SD card, then change in this script true->false and then it should work. However, what tools can I use to explore the SD card which contains OS image? And is it a fully safe way? Or maybe I should mount this SD card on some other linux device and I will able to edit it?? …

For a project, I need the Linux desktop to be set to 16 bits per pixel. I can't find any documentation about how to do this on the mainline kernel. Anyone?
