On my Orange Pi PC2, I try to copy some file from external USB HDD , the read speed is only 1MB /s. The HDD is 2.5" 1TB NTFS format, could this be a power insufficient issue? Or I missed to mounting it properly?

I have 2 32GB cards, one does 40/20MB/s the other 80/10MB/s, +-, as measured. Both class 10. I understand there are some limits on the SD bus, thus you can not use max speed a card may eventually provide. So my question, which one would be preferred ti be be used? 40/20 or 80/10. Thanks.

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!

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…

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 guys. I have issue regarding with smart card reader interface. According to it's datasheet http://linux-sunxi.org/images/4/4b/Allwinner_H3_Datasheet_V1.2.pdf page " Support FIFOs for receive and transmit buffers (up to 128 characters) with threshold " But in practice, the size of FIFO is only 16 bytes. Is anybody worked with SCR interface? May be I must to select size of FIFO in some REGISTER? Thanks for help.

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.

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. In the process of setting up my samba server, I have found that I have no internet connection because I can't run "apt-get update" and if I open a browser I can't reach any web-page. Does anyone have a first step or idea to get me setup correctly? Samba post to come in separate thread.

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

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.

There are checks like this case $LINUXFAMILY in sun7i|sun8i) sun8i*) but in /etc/armbian-release variable is set like this LINUXFAMILY=sunxi I don't if these check should be changed to "sunxi" only or "sunxi" should be or-ed with existing values.

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…

Greetings, I recently changed from an old loboris ubuntu distribution to armbian for my opi PC.

Hi guys! I've a project with raspberry pi B+ and a usb modem for communication with server. Is a unattended system but I've many problems with communication cuts and memory card corrupted. Communications is not important issue, because isn't a real time system, and I manage the cuts with own scripts. In the other hand, the memory card corruption is a damn headache. I think that problem is caused by the model B+ because I've other similar project with model A+ and I haven't this problem. The reason for my question is that I'm looking for alternatives to the raspberry pi B+. I tested Orange Pi 2G-IOT, but is very unestable and I discard it. What borad…

What about the new Banana PI M2 ultra ? Is it a real SATA controller ? or just one more that is channeled through the USB ? And is this machine likely to be supported by Armbian ? It in short seems to be a little overpriced and the eMMC storage to be to little. And the M3 left a bit bad taste in my mouth, but if it is Sata that gives more speed than USB and if it will be Armbian supported then I might give them another go.

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.

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…

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.

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

From time to time I want to change the SDcards on my boards, for one reason or another. So, in order to transfer the Armbian filesystem I dd from the first sdcard and later dd to the second, a very slow process. I think it would be faster to: Partition and mkfs the new sdcard Copy/tar/rsync the armbian filesystem But no board won't boot that sdcard. So I'm missing a crucial step, maybe it has something to do with u-boot?

Hello, I'm picking up my pine64 SBC for the first time in a long while.

I guess this is hardware-independent, so I post here. Looking for ways to disable IPv6 I found 3 ways to achieve this on Linux, none of them really working for armbian debian build. 1. /etc/sysctl.conf: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1 this disables the network interfaces to use IPv6, not IPv6 itself. This method is also known to cause trouble e.g with X-Forwarding via SSH and Postfix server. netstat still lists IPv6 entries 2. /etc/default/grub (GRUB tells the kernel not to load IPv6) This does not exist in armbian, I guess it is simply not using GRUB …

What are the differences between Debian and Ubuntu servers from armbian? When is the Debian server release coming for the NanoPi NEO?

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 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?

How to "Enable switch user and Login Welcome in gui?"

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

Hi, I can't update from armbian. I tried to switch to a new repository as write on this page: https://www.armbian.com/kernel/ When I proceed to apt-get update, I've got: my sources.list.d/armbian.list: Any idea ?

hi, i used armbian 5.14 (3.4.112)and the gc2035 worked nice. but in armbain 5.30 (3.4.113)the gc2035 shows the error : [CSI_ERR][GC2035]sensor_read err at sensor_detect! [CSI_ERR][GC2035]chip found is not an target chip. and in h3droid ,one of android img fo opi ,it was built in 3.4.113 too ,and it failed again... so what can i do to use gc2035 under .img built with 3.4.113? thanks.

Are there any plans to add support for the MCP7940 real-time clock? It's much cheaper than the DS1307 and mostly compatible. The biggest difference is Reg0b7 which is "Clock-Halt" in the 1307 but "STart" in the 7940. The 7940 also has some extra register bits like OSCEN which are default 0 in the 1307. I tried naively enabling the rtc-ds1307 module and it didn't work. An actual DS1307 chip worked immediately (just hot-plugging the break-out boards while executing "hwclock -rf /dev/rtc1"). The actual error I get is: "Timed out while waiting for the time to change", "The Hardware Clock registers contain values that are either invalid (e.g. 50th day o…

Hi guys, I am using Armbian 5.23 Jessie Desktop version with retrorange pi, in my orange pi pc, using the firefox on youtube i can watch videos in 480p more than it the video is bad doesnt run good, i can't watch netflix because the version firefox esr 45 don't have support to html 5, and to use facebook have a delay to load the pages, i think the firefix version default of armbian aren't so good, i tryed update the firefox but i didn't found none tutorial for it, so someone knows how i update the firefox or install the other version with support to html 5? or someone knows how a install Chromium? Is normal the videos of 720 don't run good ? Thanks.

Hi Guys, My current system has 128MB of SWAP area for RAM. I think it's located on SD card by default, however I have eMMC (8GB) on board. Is there any way to extend SWAP area to use this 8GB or less of eMMC which can be faster than SD card. Is there any way to extend SWAP area even on SD card on working system?

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

I have an orange pi 2e running armbian 5.31. I wanted to use it as a pihole for blocking advertisements however it seems that it only has a link local address but no IPV6 connection to the internet. pinging 2001:4860:4860::8888 will show destination unreachable: Beyond scope of source address. However I have another PI, windows desktop on the same network than can ping the same IPV6 address. Is there a way to force "enable" IPV6?

I recently took delivery of a Voltastream Zero, a just-released evaluation board which uses an i.MX6ULL processor. The support forum for that board isn't even up yet. Their main board image has neither the PPP kernel modules nor a C compiler, at least one of which I need in order to use the board for anything. How easy would it be to get a rudimentary Armbian image running on this board? I've had some luck with Armbian on my other boards and would like to see it on this one too. It doesn't have any video output or Ethernet, I just need the very basics.

hey all! i want to create my own armbian image to burn to many devices it seems it would be smart to re-enable the firstrun to run the next time the os boots up (i.e. inside another Orange Pi) is the correct way to do this: systemctl enable firstrun ? Id like to: expand the partition set a random mac address create any keys p.s. sorry for multiple error posts.

The new board only make difficulties the img of http://forum.banana-pi.org/ are very questionable When formatting, it always says write-protected under Windows (read-only) On Linux with fdisk is the deletion of the partitions, is not a failure message but with fdisk -l is everything as before. I have tried several attempts from the net but no success. With me are already two cards defective, are nail new. This problem is when copying with the DD command and Raspbian Pixel SD copier.

Hi, I'm wondering can I build the armbian for BPI-M3?

Hi guys, I am tying to get HW video acceleration to work without a full desktop environment. Right now, I am able to get videos to start to play with startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=x11 video.mkv. However, the video seems to be software decoded. I have tried startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=vdpau video.mkv but mpv failed to start with an error message "[vo/vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.Video: no videoA0". I have also tried startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=x11 --hwdec=vdpau video.mkv but the video doesn't seem to be hardware accelerated. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!

Hi, I'm new at this forum and I'm a little more than a newbie about linux for embedded systems. I need quickly to start an application on login of armbian, after the autologin of the user(no root). I don't know how to do. I did it in the past on archlinux using getty on tty1, but on armbian it not work. I put my application on /home/user/.profile. The system start, then I connect with ssh and my application start. It seems start as no logged user. Maybe is my board(nanopi neo) that has not output video and I can see output only with ssh or serial cable. Any advice ? Thanks a lot in advance
