I am using ARM Cortex A7 board and had run coovachilli with its internal DHCP server successfully with external and internal splash pages. Now want to run it with external DHCP server that is clients will get IPs from external DHCP server and authenticate via Coovachilli. For example two boxes running coovachilli in it seperately but the client from both boxes will get IP lease from same backend dhcp server while authenticate via its coovachilli respectively. So I have used this config in it: HS_WANIF=eth0 # has address 195.19.214.216 HS_LANIF=eth1 HS_NETWORK=10.2.3.0 HS_NETMASK=255.255.255.0 HS_UAMLISTEN=10.2.3.1 HS_UAMPORT=3990 HS_UAMUIPORT=4990…

I finished network booting for my Raspberry Pi 3 based on step by step instruction. Works good without any SD card in a school class 10 PCs RPI. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/net_tutorial.md Is any such howto for the orange pi prime? Is it possible network booting without a SD card at all?

Hi. I'm trying to display a rtsp stream using vlc, on a tinkerboard, running armbian, legacy desktop version. It runs very choppy. I have a duplicate setup using the Raspberry pi 1, which has much fewer resources, runs smoothly. Anyone got any idea why?

Hi guys, I have an Orange Pi with Armbian running on a 5.4.88-sunxi arm 7l, and I'm trying to connect a CSI gc2035 camera. According to the manual, the gc2035 camera is only supported by Linux 3.4. Is this correct, or is there a workaround? My Orange Pi can't detect the CSI camera—do I need to switch to Linux 3.4?

I followed instruction of adding overlay at http://linux-sunxi.org/1-Wire This resulted in an error during boot and non functional 1-wire: Removing "#" comments from armbianEnv.txt resolved the issue Can you please confirm if comments are allowed in armbianEnv.txt? Thanks

I am currently facing a challenge with my Orange Pi 5 running Armbian 23.8.1 Jammy. I'm trying to get an exFAT formatted USB drive to work with this setup. I cannot mount an exFAT filesystem, despite having exfat-fuse and exfat-utils installed. The system fails to recognize the exFAT filesystem, displaying the message: "unknown filesystem type 'exfat'". I tried to install this module: https://github.com/arter97/exfat-linux. But I'm getting an error, that states that the driver already should be included on this version of the kernel: root@orangepi5:~/exfat-linux# make make -C /lib/modules/5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588/build M=/root/exfat-linux modules mak…

Hi evereyone, After doing some upgrades my Pi-hole Admin Page was not reachable anymore, while blocking still worked. 1. Problem The lighttpd service was not running because of the missing folder /var/log/lighttpd. So lighttpd crashes when trying to access /var/log/lighttpd/error.log and access.log. Reinstalling Pi-hole and lighttpd didnt solve the problem. So I first created the folder myself: sudo mkdir /var/log/lighttpd sudo chown -R www-data: www-data /var/log/lighttpd Then I reinstalled Pi-hole and lighttpd, now lighttpd was running. Unfortunatly now I ran into 403 - Forbidden when accessing…

Hey. I'm trying to set up a 3.5" spi touch display with my orange pi zero +2 (H5). I've gotten the display to work - console is displaying fine, and the same with Xorg. However, getting the touch panel to work, seems quite difficult. (I tested it on a pi, so I know the hardware works). I've been running through all the threads I could find in here, regarding these setups, but I haven't been able to crack it. I have tried a lot of different variations of using spi-spidev, spi-add-cs1, customized spi-double-spidev, setting the param_spidev_spi_bus etc. I have a suspicion that something is off with the second cs channel, as this seems to be where I get my err…

Hello all, I've been having a *fun* old time getting this 3.5" LCD (http://www.lcdwiki.com/MHS-3.5inch_RPi_Display) I have laying around working with my "new" BananaPi M2 Zero (http://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-M2_ZERO). I know fbtft_device has been dropped as of kernel 5.4 and have been researching into how others have done it. I now know it requires custom overlays, (dts files, etc) and using sudo armbian-add-overlay xxx.dts as well as having a conf defined under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ (attached). I'm *real, real* close (got the LCD flickering!), but I think I need some guidance with the dts file (attached). I've seen…

Hello, I try to compile node.js on my BananaPI M2+. Everly now an then I get segmentation faults, internal compiler errors. The strange thing is, then when I restart, it runs further, just to crash at some later point. I already reduced cpu speed to 1GHz, and I am only compiling using one core, now. CPU temp is aroung 60°C now. Still every now and then, it happens. Checking with top, memory seems to be doing fine, too. What else cound I do? Regards, Tomte. PS: I am using a new SanDisk Ultra 16GB SD card. PPS: According to Rpi, I am running out of memory, how can I prevent this, ple…

Hi all, This used to work absolutely fine for me a couple of years ago but for some reason it isn't working at all now. I had to format the eMMC and re-flash it. Using either Bookworm or Jammy, when I try to run the script for boot from eMMC / system on NVME after the reboot it won't boot again. I've tried on both, tried before / after apt-update etc. Just doesn't seem to want to work when it used to in the past. This is what I'm seeing, apologies for phone photos, as I was in my living room, no way to take a screenshot. Any ideas? Thank you!

hi there! im a beginner in the linux world, but to try to learn a bit more and to try to make something useful im currently lookin at a orange pi 4 board in hope to somehow turn it in a NAS/Emby server. i played a little with the Opi4 and it looks promising, the only problem is that it doesnt have sata ports. i can get an extension board to plug in a mPCIE device, and i was planning to use it to connect a PCIE-Sata device. since i still have to buy it, do you have any suggestion? i looked at the JMB585 and the ASM1166 expansion boards, they both have plenty of ports for what i need and the speed its more than amazing, but i would like to know if they are …

Hallo, I hope the topic hasn't existed before .. I have an Bananpi M2+ as H5 (64bit). Good Images are OrangePi-PC2 or NanoPi K1 Plus. My problem is, no support of emmc. Are there any known compatible images for the Banana Pi M2 + H5 that work? The NanoPi K1 Plus has problems rebooting and recognizing a keyboard. The OranngeP PC2 works fine, but no emmc support. Thanks and Best wishes, Mahdi2006

Hi all. For gaming on the Raspberry Pi 4 there is nothing better(opinion) than TwisterOS. It is Raspberry Pi OS with a lot preinstalled tools for gaming. Also very nice skins to make your OS look like old Windows versions, or even MacOS. You can play old Windows games with it thanks to Box86 + wine which is preinstalled and configured. Also native x86 Linux games run amazingly well with it. There is a Steam client preinstalled. Is must say I've never used it, since I've never used/liked Steam. You can download TwisterOS here : https://twisteros.com The official TwisterOS reviewer on Youtube is @Salvador Liébana and his colleague from Pi Labs : https:/…

So, some time ago I made some custom changes to DTB to get the OV5640 camera working on a Banana Pi M2 Zero. I was successful, and made notes on the files that I changed. Now, I'm working with the same source tree, but cleaned out. So I wanted to make my changes again because I did not know about CREATE_PATCHES then. So, i built my new image, and made the changes to the dts files. But now, /dev/media0 does not show up. I have 2 boards. One with my prior image that is fully functioning (Board A), a new one that is missing /dev/media0 (Board B). First thing I did was compare the kernel configs. They are identical. For fun, I copied the kernel from…

Hi, I run a cubietruck appliance, booting by sd-card->sata (stretch). For availability reasons, I have to build up a spare part machine for quick exchange procedure if hardware/ software will crash. Thus I take a second cubietruck and copy both sd-card and ssd to second ones as a first step. How to tweak the copies to get it up and running? I am not sure about understanding the boot procedure. I assume, I have to change the UUID´s in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and in fstab to the second ssd/sda1. I tried this in the past, but didn´t succeed. Now I want to give it another try. Could someone give advice, if I am right with the UUID issue …

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 …

I am using Armbian 21.05.1 running the legacy kernel as I wish to use the ISP camera support from the RK3399 media framework. After porting the devicetree for my camera, all drivers are working except for the actual ISP1 driver, which seems to not be built into the kernel: grep ROCKCHIP_ISP1 /boot/config-4.4.213-rk3399 # CONFIG_VIDEO_ROCKCHIP_ISP1 is not set Looking through the kernel config for this family (linux-rockchip64-legacy.config), CONFIG_VIDEO_ROCKCHIP_ISP1 is set, and this appears to be the case in the sources installed from armbian-config. I am rather new to Armbian so I'm not quite sure what's the issue here. Would be much appreciated if someone …

I'll soon be adding a 4 port M4 SATA hat (Marvell 88SE9215) to a NanoPiM4V2 and was wondering if it will be supported in the current release of ARMBIAN? Or, will I need to build a new image? If so, what driver might I need to add to the kernel config? pi@raid:~$ uname -a Linux raid 5.8.17-rockchip64 #20.08.21 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 31 08:22:59 CET 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Hi everyone. I bought an ov5640 camera for my Nanopi Duo2. As their wiki clearly showed ov5640 plug and play, I thought I am facing no problems. That's not the case. Armbian seems not to support ov5640 by defualt. My problem: OV5640 do not work on nanopi duo2 with latest armbian. What did I try: I searched for answers online, but they are old (years ago), saying I have to edit some dts files to get the cam work. I tried some of them, then I messed up my system and have to re-flash the sd card again and again. I guess they might won't apply to the latest image. I wonder: Is the camera ov5640 on Nanopi Duo…

Hi! just want to share the experience. I'm using Armbian in an environment that cannot access the internet. So, NTP becomes a big issue, and I have to setup my local NTP server using Chrony. Things should be simple, but it just didn't work out. I stuck with this problem for a few weeks until I realized I'm trying to setup Chrony NTP server on a virtual machine. Then, I found this one on stackoverflow. https://serverfault.com/questions/1062023/the-least-bad-settings-for-chrony-as-the-ntp-server-on-a-virtual-machine It suggests how to setup NTP server on virtual machine, but I didn't follow through as I solved my problem by setting up Chrony NTP ser…

I recently bought an Odroid HC4 to use as NAS. I then installed the latest Armbian (kernel 5.10, so pretty current one) and zfs-dkms (2.0.3-1, from backports - so again should be pretty current). I can now create ZFS pools from my attached HDDs (currently just one - may mirror later). Great... except I want them encrypted and performance is BAD. Like 40 to 70MB/s when copying via Samba (depending on which cypher I create the dataset with, no compression or deduplication) and CPU pegged at 100% bad. I was honestly surprised by this, considering the S905X3 is supposed to have hardware crypto acceleration (and cryptsetup benchmark shows results more in line with …

Hello, Is it just me or something has changed lately regarding the installation of u-boot on SPI? I have a Rock64 v2 and I am quite sure one year ago or more I used to update the SPI using the nand-sata-install script. Today I wanted to flash it again, but whenever I run the script (either via armbian-config) the error message in the title is shown and nothing occurs. Running Armbian 20.21 with legacy (4.4) kernel. Oh, the relevant u-boot package according to apt is installed. Thanks! Edit: The reason behind is to check if a newer code would finally support booting from the SSD plugged on the USB3 port, which nev…

Hi, I know at least some distributions don't remove modules of currently running kernels. Even when upgrading kernels and modules. Also, armbian has files like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove etc, which look like they're meant to accomplish the same (protect selected kernel modules from removal), but have in fact no effect (by default). How can I prevent removal of files on upgrade (specifically, kernel modules)? That is, enable the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove and related things to have an effect, or set some other option to do something similar. Actually, I would also prefer to keep a few previous kernels and support …

In my spi protocol driver I send large buffers of data to be transferred. I am not interested in the data received so I leave the rx_buf as NULL. In the controller driver they have code to implement this use case: https://github.com/allwinner-zh/linux-3.4-sunxi/blob/6964d467510849e3e262518cb87bff7ef92e01f5/drivers/spi/spi-sunxi.c#L1003 However the transfer never completes and the kernel logs a time out for each transfer after 120 seconds. I have tried modifying the driver with various options like disabling the SPI_GC_TP_EN, which pauses transmit when the receive fifo is full, but it has no effect. Finally after hours of futile tinkering I decided to change m…

So I'm seeing this up as a media device for my aunt who has nothing but an old crt TV. So I tried h3droid for user ease, but it's not near stable enough and crashes whenever anything is running any load on the cpu. Retro orange pi gives her a desktop and easy interface for watching movies/tv shows and playing old games. The problem I'm running into is I can't get any media file to play. I get sound but no visuals on Kodi and VLC I've tried converting the files from mkv to MP4, I've tried changing codecs h.264->h.265. I don't know what to do because she will never understand/use a command prompt so I wanted to hook her up with something easy.

Hi, I'm not sure if Debian mainline supports this, but I can't get TV out on this board working after it starts the kernel. The boot loader shows up, but as soon as the message "starting kernel" or something, pops up, the signal cuts out. I've tried changing the boot.cmd, but it doesn't make much difference. I've seen suggestions to break into the u-boot console, but the keyboard doesn't work there. I'm afraid it works only in serial mode. Any ideas? Thanks!

I can run spi with the code below. But I have to communicate with too many slaves on the same line. I will connect all the devices with the same MISO - MOSI - SCLK line. static void transfer(int fd) { //n.SLAVE CS LOW int ret; uint8_t tx[] = { 0xAD, 0x03 }; uint8_t rx[2] = {0, }; struct spi_ioc_transfer tr = { .tx_buf = (unsigned long)tx, .rx_buf = (unsigned long)rx, .len = 2, .delay_usecs = delay, .speed_hz = speed, .bits_per_word = bits, }; ret = ioctl(fd, SPI_IOC_MESSAGE(1), &tr); if (ret < 1) pabort("can't send spi message"); //n.SLAVE CS HIGH puts(""); } Can I do like above? So I will use software CS, not …

Good morning, I'm triying to move to armbian for tinker. Currently i'm using Debian Distro from Asus for tinkerboard and i want to move to a CLI only OS. Armbian seems to be the best option for what i want, but currently i'm unable to use the GPIO pins on the tinkerboard2. I tried to install wiringpi from here (https://github.com/TinkerBoard/gpio_lib_c/tree/sbc/tinkerboard/c) but i always recieve an error code. Anyone facing this problem? Any help will be very much appreciated, i really want to move to a non-GUI OS, but asus does't offer any option besides uninstalling X-10 GUI Thank you for your time

Hello. Is it possible to make hotspot at orange pi zero 2w? Just on some other boards was able to do so. I was tryed armbian-config, but there even not able to use wi-fi at all. But I sow some projets on internet and there people was able to do hotspat and they even had more options on the screen. I downloaded image from main screen ( first 2 images even didn't run on my board). Kind regards Bheatha

I'm trying to get OctoPrint to work on my Pine64 to control my Qidi i-mate(s) 3d printer. I've done a fresh install of Armbian on the Pine64 with no problems. I'm not sure where to go to troubleshoot the USB-ttl serial connection. I've double checked that the cable is installed right on the Qidi motherboard, this application doesn't need the vcc connected so the other three are. I've tried enabling the UART's in the armbian-config with no luck on the connection. While I've used Linux for quite some time, I'm not familiar with this sort of thing and I'm not even sure where to start the troublshooting. I can easily provide additional logs. This is on an …

Since some H2 and H3's run hotter than some people would like, and people are measuring voltages etc I thought I'd make the following warnings for your benefit in the hope that we collect quality data and solve all challenges quickly. Measuring voltage accurately Your DMM (digital multimeter) may lie to you. Measure the input voltage as well as the test voltages before posting voltage readings. Check with the resistance setting that the resistance of your probes touching each other is close to 0 ohms. I own many DMM's and one of them reports horribly inaccurate voltages when the 9v battery is near or less than 8v. If your DMM sucks, buy a better one (link at botto…

Hello, i installed Armbian 23.8 on my ROCKPI E. When i put a LAN cable into END0, everything is quiet, no leds are glowing. END1 works normal. I used nmtui and tried to activate it. Do i have to add somewhere end0? is this port not automaticly configured? thank you

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.

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?? …

Hello, According to the changelogs on https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/, the 20.08 version on September upgrade the EspressoBin to the Kernel 5.6 and the next version 20.08.3 it was updated to the 5.8 kernel. When I go to the archives for the Espressobin (https://archive.armbian.com/espressobin/archive/) I cannot find the 5.6 version. Is there any reasons for that or is a missing link? Kind regards, Fernando

Hello guys, I am currently in the middle of setting up my GlusterFS cluster on 3x Odroid HC2s. I am currently using the standard Ubuntu images but hit some walls with them. The worst wall is that the Samba package does not ship with gluster library (glusterfs.so) and I can't auto manage Samba shares via GlusterFS. Does anyone know whether support in Armbian for Gluster, Samba and CTDB is better? Would you recommend to try it? Cheers Sherry

I am using a Banana Pi M2 Zero to control my 3D printer controller. It works perfectly running Armbian through the USB port but I need to switch to UART for 2 reasons. First I could not disable USB Otg so it's pumping voltage into the board and the display is washed out form the additional power. Second, it is impossible to use a USB cable because the USB port is only accessible from the outside in the steel enclosure. I used armbian config to disable USB and then select UART 3 to use GPIO pins 8 and 10 but can't get it to work. I keep getting a Failed to init error Is that all the config I need to do? If not what else? The overlay in my c…

Hi, I've bought a pandoo box with an amlogic s912,2 3g of ram and a mali t820, I've found a couple of dtb files (vegas and meson-gxbb-p200.dtb I think) that make it boot but without wifi nor bluetooth, I've tried extracting the one from android using termux and dd /dev/dtb with no luck... is there anything else to try? any way to make wifi and bt work? Any help is appreciated Thanks!

HI folks, I wonder how to do that.. it's that simple. on RPI OS is just ctrl + alt + F4, maybe here is more complex.

Hello, Since I upgraded my Odroid N2+ to Armbian 23.11, when connecting to SSH, I can read the following: Welcome to Armbian 23.11.1 Buster with Linux 6.1.63-current-meson64 No end-user support: community creations & unsupported (buster) userspace! Since 23.08 I had the first part about only community creation, which I already did not understand but now it looks worse as it also mention Buster when I use Bookworm. What can cause this strange information? And what can I try to solve this?

Armbian makes setting up an AP incredibly easy- I'm also enjoying NetworkManager, which I've stayed away from on my desktops until I started development with OPi Zero/Armbian Buster. I'm looking for an automatic, effective way to switch between my AP and a configured wireless network. If the wireless network is not available, I'd like the AP hot spot to run- if the wireless network is available, I'd like to automatically connect and not use the AP. Is anyone aware of a way, possibly even a simple script available that will run @ startup? Thanks- ACR

If this is the wrong place to ask, please feel free to redirect me to another location. I'm thinking about using an SBC to create an application-specific coprocessor. A laptop would stream h.264/h.265 2kx2.5k yuv420p compressed video thru USB to the SBC (functioning as a USB gadget with separate power supply) and the SBC would decompress the video frames, apply a sequence of affine transforms to each (decompressed) image, and stream the warped, decompressed images back to the host. This would use the SBC hardware-assisted VPU decompression and GPU for warp processing, and the Arm CPU side would manage the YUV420p-RGB conversion and buffered super-speed USB t…

I am planning to buy a SopineA64 set of modules and the Cluster board. (clusterboard) I would like to know if someone here made a cluster. I would like to create it with Armbian since I am an enthusiastic Armbian user. I would like to create a real cluster and not a list of computers unified by a board. I mean to have the disk united and ram united. Something of real cluster computer. Sorry for my english.

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…

Hi guys, I've got one huge problem and no idea how to solve this. Im on the latest 5.20 armbian on a cubietruck an lately I had some troubles running different programs like wget or curl. They only showed some weired characters in the terminal and quited with a common error. I had to reinstall theses apps in order to get them working again.

When I turn my Orange Pi 5 on, it auto-logins to the desktop which I do not want. I tried looking at nodm and lightdm but couldn't find either. I would like to disable this as it is a security concern. On a side note, as a feature request, this should be disabled by default or else something prompted for during the first time setup.

I'm trying to setup k3s on a raspberry pi 5, and I can't seem to get the cgroup enabled on the kernel. I edited the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file adding: extraargs=cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory and when i cat /proc/cmdline or /proc/cgroup it doesn't seem to be enabled and I don't see the edits from the env file. Can anyone help? For context I'm trying to get k3s up and running on the a few raspberry pi 4s as nodes and a five as the master to the issues is currently on the 5. I'll be verifying I get the same results on the 4s tonight. Read through a bunch of posts but haven't found anything suggesting something other than editing that f…

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?

Does anybody have the proven experiance that a NanoPi Neo-LTS is a drop-in replacement (no SW changes) for a NanoPi Neo? And is a NanoPi Neo2 a drop-in replacement for Neo and/or Neo-LTS?

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
