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.

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? …

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…

Good day guys! Faced with this problem after keyboard emulation with libcomposite does not print the "G" button echo "\0\0\x10\0\0\0\0\0" anyone noticed such a problem? I would be very grateful for advice!

UPDATE: Today I build it again and now it's working, I think someone has change something. Thank you :-) OLD: I created an new board, based on the lime-a33.conf with BOOTCONFIG="q8_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig" and build a Debian Stretch Image with mainline Kernel 4.13 / 4.14. The SD Card is booting with a nice screen output but only to Kernel Boot, then the screen freezes. The Serial connection is only in the SD Adapter and I cant use it if I'm booting from it, or is there a possibility ?? I was checking devuan.org and this Image is booting the Tablet, with Kernel 4.1x. So I want to debug the Armbian Kernel wit…

Hi folks, I'm running armbian on a Banana Pi 1st generation, so far no probs. Indeed it runs very stable. The armbian is a debian jessie. Is it possible or recommended to update to stretch via the official debian upgrade path ? The armbian is fully updated Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.36 user-built Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.13.16-sunxi I'm running an nginx php stack on the BaPi. But what about stretch ? Can I do a dist-upgrade ? Sorry if this has already been discussed. Thanks in advance for replies :-)

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, just registered on this forum because i can't troubleshoot my issue even if some posts seems to look like my issue and this forum doesn't unknown from me from some others reasons.

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. …

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

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?

Hello, I tried to install Gladys on Orange Pi and has succeeded. Now i want to start the OPi on fullscreen with Gladys (http://localhost:8080) on Chrome How to get it done in Armbian?

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…

Hi, I own a Orange PI Plus 2 with SATA support. Until now without success I tried to migrate from a SD boot / HDD root setup, which is my current well working situation, to a SD boot / SSD root setup. I created two partitions on the SSD created a swap device on sda1 and root device on sda2 like on the HDD. Performed mkswap on /dev/sda1 and copied the HDD root filesystem to the SSD root file system to be /dev/sda2 using ' find . -print | cpio -pdvm' on a spare laptop with two SATA ports. I even copied the UUID from the root partition of the HDD to the root partition of the SSD. Next I configured the system by changing the root device in armbianEnv.t…

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…

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…

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 …

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, I have problem installing the program. It always stops on the message: "Setting up shared-mime-info (1.5-2ubuntu0.1)" I try reinstalling system, format micro sd card etc...still same error...

The final leg of my server is being a media server for my PS3. I'm using MediaTomb as the server application. When I first got my server online and installed MediaTomb, I could see it on my PS3 as a media server option. Also, I could enter into the Website interface by accessing the IP address and the proper port number. However, since I changed to a static IP and worked to get my Samba share working, I somehow broke my MediaTomb connection. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey Igor, I noticed on another thread that you're running the ClearFog Pro on a 4.12 kernel; What did you do to get the mv88e6xxx working? Every build against mainline I do for either 4.4.96 or 4.13.11 ends up with a port that doesn't properly detect link status (up or down) and doesn't receive any traffic.

Greetings everyone! I'm having some issues with my Armbian installation. I have an Orange Pi PC 2 (64 bit H5 SoC). I followed the procedure for installing Armbian on my Sd card (reliable one, recently bought as new) using Etcher (so errors won't occur). The SSH daemon works, nmap lists port 22 as open, yet whenever I try to ssh to root ("root@10.42.0.1", where 10.42.0.1 is the IP given by the shared wired network to this connection) even after I wait like 10 minutes or so, it doesn't work (Permission denied). Thing is I don't own a keyboard and a HDMI cable, or UART cable, so I went for this "headless" approach. I know it's possible, but SSH won't …

Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to put a mainline uboot with ethernet, usb support and lunch the old legacy kernel with it? I need it to be able to boot remotely (tftp) or from usb to make backup, restore without remove sdcard or lunch a recovery mode remotely by lora and a little uC speaking on uart of OPI. With mainline uboot it's easy to lunch openwrt on a ramdisk without mounting sdcard. If i can do the same (mainline uboot) with legacy kernel, i m happy. Thanks

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?

Hi, Using Ubuntu (OPiPC/Ubuntu desktop/legacy) and the window borders are really 1 pixel thick, it makes it impossible to grab using only the mouse.

I have a Orange PI PC that I"m setting up as my file server with samba. I am using a hard drive with a SATA to USB adapter for my storage device. I've read and tried many HOW-TOs and none of them seem to get it working properly. Even though, they all say it is easy and it looks easy. I am able to see the shared folder over the network but Windows says that I don't have permissions to access it. One idea that I've had is that I'm not accessing the share folder through the config file. However I'm not sure how to properly access my HDD. Right now I am using the path that you would get from opening the disk on the desktop. Something l…

I've been trying to setup my Orange PI PC to be my file/media server. I used a "HOW-TO" on setting up a static IP address. It seems like it is working for me except I can't seem to connect to the outside world.

Does anyone have a first step or idea to get me setup correctly? Samba post to come in separate thread.

Opi pc - retrorange pie 3.0 1. Is there a default volume start and setting? 2. YouTube plays good but some website sound very static and distorted, any fix?

Hi, After days and days of research and some mistakes (I have buy Orange Pi plus 2 for the sata connector ) I have selected two board for build my NAS configuration. I want share with this community my considerations and read some other opinions about it. For both solutions i want to use a board like that for manage more than one HDD (and maybe some raid configurations): SATA Replicator on Amazon ODROID (both XU4 and HC1) Pros: The processor seems very powerful and this leave open my option for experimenting with various Cloud software and other (dlna servers, ftp, mini simple site server, transmission and so on). The docum…

While boot "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules." Type systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service and get run systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl start systemd-modules-load.service when systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service but if will reboot, "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules." again! why?

It says 4.13.x in nightly kernel builds but i cant still enable g_hid. In this link it says 4.12 would bring usb otg support for h3 boards. Am i wrong? If its still not supported and wont get implemented soon what should i do to implement it? I also read that g_hid should work in legacy kernel but it didnt work with lastest legacy kernel either. I am trying to get it working for a few weeks now my whole project is stopped because of this. Its would bring me joy if i could get it working. Thank you

Good morning everyone, I'm trying to find the script.bin file in my nanopi M1 in order to change HDMI resolution but untill now it has been impossible to find it. I'm using the debian that provides friendlyarm in version 3.4xxx (the one attached to in the page). I've been using all I commands and modes that I know, even show hidden files and nothing I know this is not a conventional linux device (its a development platform with a ARM Alwinner H3 processor in it) but since it has debian jessie, I think somone can help me find where the HDMI config files are. when I use find, it shows this: root@FriendlyELEC:/# find / -name script*.bin root@FriendlyELE…

Hello, this question is not armbian specific but I am dealing with it while using armbian. I have 8GB microsd card but my armbian is using just 1.5GB on it. Now I need to clone/copy this card. I use win32diskimager (on windows) but disadvantage this approach is, that it makes bytedata image file (all 8GB of the whole microsd card even with blank space) but my data have 1.5GB only. Is there any utility/software which makes image with 1.5GB only? I mean when I burn 8GB image size after that to another microsd card, it takes 5x more time to finish as if I could burn just 1.5GB image. I think it must be able to do it somehow, because armbian images has abou…

Hello, With NanoPI-m2 (debian jessie) and OrangePI-PC (ubuntu xenial) at hand, I try to detect states of hdmi and audio jack (plugged in or not). With nanopi I can get the hdmi state from syslog kern messages (HDMI HPD State 0x0 or 0x1, according to it's plugged in or not), but I haven't found something like that on Orange PI. And I've found no way to recognize if the audio jack is plugged in or not. Any suggestion, howto get that, will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am using Armbian 5.25 Linux 8 jessie 3.4.113-sun8i and when I plugged usb grabber with chipset utv007 lsusb shows only 1b71:3002 without name of device. How can I add driver for this device to my armbian? (preferably without reinstalling Armbian) or If I install new version 5.3, will it work out of the box? Thank you!

I have a newly-installed Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 image. I find that I am unable to successfully upgrade the image. Note that operations like 'apt install hostapd' complete without problems. A transcript of my attempts follows. upgrade.log

Hi, I need to name my device by unique ID. Is there any way to get unique number of MCU or other peripheral?

Hiya, Goal: Ok so I'm after a high speed synchronous serial interface (50mhz would be nice) with reasonably flexible clocking options so I can tweak it up and down. The goal is to implement a "fast as possible" SWD debug interface to a Cortex M0; ideally the serial interface could be run arbitrarily fast until the target M0 or the wiring can't handle it. If can do 48mhz I can basically read/write one 32-bit word per microsecond over swd, so 4MB/sec, and I want to process that a little and send it to a PC (obviously ethernet). I especially care about consistent, gap-free, no jitter on this serial interface. So SPI is the obvious choice but I'm…

Hello everyone, I have some problems with the example of the ir receiver on a Nanopi M1 usign the geany editor with the debian jessie 3.4.... provided by friendlyarm, I decided to modify the original demo program to match de embedded ir receiver but when I try to ececute the program, the information that I have until now is: The version of geany is: 1.24.1 The response of the console when I try to run the program is: ./geany_run_script.sh: 5: ./geany_run_script.sh: ./Matrix-ir_receiver: Permission denied ------------------ (Program exited with code: 126) Press return to continue after that I press Enter and the terminal closes.

Hi everybody, One really simple question: I got to work with wvdial and establish a ppp connection with OPi 2g-IoT but now I would like to initiate the board with the wvdial included, so if the modem 2g does not connect the board keeps trying till the conection goes smoothly. So far I've done this: sudo nano /etc/rc.local and inserted this line: sleep 60; sudo wvdial & My results are: Sometimes, mostly, it connects and works properly but there are few times like 2 out of 10 that the wvdial does not work and the board initiates without it, which I do not want at all. How can I force the board to initiate properly onl…

Hi Guys, I have noticed that camera connected to OPI, has several frames lag. I capture image with very high speed (50 fps, camera also gives about 50 fps). Min for V4l2 is 4 buffers, so it gives about 80ms of latency. I cant find a way how to decrease this buffer count to 0 to receive the latest frame. I assume that I need to change some line in kernel and compile it. However, I cant find where exaclty.

Hy Everybody. For my Work, I need an Access Point into the Bananapi M64. So I have followed this tutorial: https://www.awasu.com/weblog/bpi-gateway/wifi-access-point/ And more precisely: First, install the packages needed to compile: sudo apt-get install gcc git make sudo apt-get install libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev openssl libssl-dev pkg-config Then, get the source for hostapd: cd /tmp git clone git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostap.git Then, configure it: cd hostap/hostapd cp defconfig .config Edit .config and make sure that CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y and CONFIG_LIBNL32=y are active i.e. not …

Hi all, I use orange pi one + armbian + wavesahe 7 inch display. I got a problem with Touchscreen does not work. I look Waveshare used goodix gt811 touch controller, so when i check on the kernel /lib/module the driver not exist, only gt9x and gt82x. And then i check release log linux kernel, goodix gt811 just present start from kernel 3.5 while armbian is 3.4.x. So, how to make the Touchscreen to work? Thanks.

Hello, I'm picking up my pine64 SBC for the first time in a long while. I want to have an always-on linux system for some home projects and this board ought to work nicely as I don't need any desktop running on it. Looking over the OS images available I decided to give opensuse a try; got it installed and running with no trouble. But it seems the 1.344GHz max speed of the board can't be enabled on this build, as the scaling_max_freq is set to 1.152GHz and no amount of "cpupower frequency-set -g ondemand -u 1344000" will convince it to go above 1.152GHz. I can go lower, just not higher. pine64:~ # cpupower frequency-set -g ondemand -u 1104000 Setting cpu: 0…

I don't know precisely when, but in Ubuntu_xenial_next_desktop.7z "chromium-browser --start-maximized" does not start the browser maximized. In previous versions of armbian it works properly. I tested chromium 61.0.3163.79 (same version that is on Ubuntu_xenial_next_desktop.7z) on my kde neon system and it works.

Hello all, I started to receive unsolicited e-mails from my Nanopi NEO and couldn't figure it out what are triggering them. I checked my crontab and there is nothing there.

so , I am tending to problems using netbeans with the armbian, it gets very slow and the temperature of the processor reaches 65 degrees easily, I installed netbeans only with apt-get install netbeans, what can it be?

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.

For what it's worth, and one of the most discussed topics can now hopefully finally closed: Mali in mainline Did not try it, but the source is trustworthy to my humble knowledge... Still no open source release, but I guess it silences a lot of people questioning for Mali support! For the real Mali die hards, here is a link to some more background info: Free Electrons

Hello, guys. I have a trouble with touch screen on OPi PC 2 (Connected via USB).

I am considering building a development machine for building images, and Debian packages (deb). I do not plan a GUI on it. I plan to ssh in. I would like to be able to mirror a couple of SATA drives for safety. Speed and connectivity are important. Can anyone make a suggestion on what board. Must run Armbian of course. Thanks, Steve

Hi everyone, have any of you ever used the orange pi GPIO inputs to use as SATA inputs, so you can use HD's? if so, what procedure to take?

Hi, my base problem is syncthing not starting on boot. But in trying to solve that it would be useful to uninstall and reinstall syncthing via armbian-config and hence softy. But armbian-config/softy does not let me uninstall syncthing (or for that matter samba, which I also don't want or need on that machine). Nor does apt: sudo apt-get remove --purge samba reports "Package 'samba' is not installed, so not removed", though armbian-config/softy shows it as installed. Is there a way to uninstall packages installed via armbian-config/softy? Thanks Graham

Dear Friends, I am new on this forum. I wonder to know that: - if sun8i-h3 supporting to flashing a HY27UG088G Nand flash over FEL mode? - how to add nand flash driver to mount nand flash in uboot? I really appreciate your response. Thank you and best regards!

Hi! I would like to know if there is a way at the startup to load new uboot / system to sdcard or spi flash. The fact is for DIY waterproof system, it's hard to remove sdcard, sometimes OPi isn't close of my computer. Idealy i would like TFTP / serial upgrade like openwrt router. Maybe it's impossible since TFTP upgrade need to download before image to ram, check it and burn it. With OP PC we have 1G ram to store image before write it on sdcard... Any idea? thanks

I have worked with Raspberry pi for some time but I need a board with SATA port so I can plug in my hard drive directly so I got a Banana Pi M2U from ebay. When It arrived I thought this will be normal as my Raspberry pi So I downloaded image (Raspbian Jiessie) from http://www.banana-pi.org/m2u-download.html and burn it to SD card and boot up. It booted up I worked it with for few weeks and noticed it's not stable Pi Randomly Crash and I can't use a sata port multiplier. Then I found about armbian, So I went to armbian site and download the image for banana pi m2 and burn it with etcher and put the sd card to pi but it won't boot up, no display and and only one led on the…

Orange PI zero ARMBIAN 5.30 Ubuntu server – legacy kernel from zero download On armbian-config If I choose hotspot I receive error: No compatible hostapd driver found

ENG (GTranslator) Hello friends. I have an Orange Pi Zero v1.1 running perfectly with ARMbian 3.4.113 server and I connect via PUTTY SSH Client. I use the OPI to control a PRUSA Steel 3D printer with the Octoprint program and I am very happy with the results. For reasons of mobility and distance, I came up with the idea of being able to compile Marlin Firmware updates through the OPI Zero. I've searched and everything found is meant to use the Arduino IDE in graphical mode with X-Window. But as you know the ARMbian for the IPO Zero lacks a graphical system and everything moves by terminal. Can you help me with this question? Do you know how to do termi…
