I have a 5" 800x480 TFP401 display which the current armbian can't drive, and I have no idea how to fix that. My EDID is identical to his. I'm a total armbian noob and half linux noob and have no idea where to start or what all the used terms mean (u-boot, dpms, ...) or they come with random patches or links to github changesets that I have no idea what to begin with. All I know is how to compile Igor's kernel, change existing patches in his repo, and burn it (as image, not u-boot) to an SD card, all because there is a nice tutorial for it. When people start talking about anything else I have no idea what to do with that information. I tried to mod…

Hi all, I have a Allwinner box (A31s, 1G memory, 8G eMMC). Armbian worked very well when I booted it from SDCard. But after I installed Armbian to its eMMC by following the guide, my box could not boot again from either eMMC or SDCard. I guess "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8 count=1" killed the box. The TTL shows below error message ================================================================ U-Boot SPL 2017.01-armbian (Feb 02 2017 - 01:58:31) DRAM: 1024 MiB Trying to boot from MMC2MMC Device 1 not found spl: could not find mmc device. error: -19 SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices ### ERROR ### Please…

I recently have been trying to enable SNAPD (SNAPPY) on 16.04 MATE and server. sudo apt install snapd installs fine, but when I try install a 'snap' it fails. this should work on 16.04. sudo snap install hello-world large error dump --- very misleading... When I checked to see what is going on with required apparmor module, I found it wasn't working. When I checked the kernel I found to my surprise that apparmor wasn't enabled. This has been enabled by default on Ubuntu for many, many years... It would appear that several kernel flags need to be set in order for apparmor to work set CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y "If AppArmor should be sel…

Anyone know how to get sound for GAMES? Games play but no sound. Sound is configured for TV-out(analog AV) and working.

I'm pretty sure I'm wrong here with my issue but since I'm out of ideas I gotta ask here just to make sure. I've successfully set up a vpn server on linksys router running dd-wrt. Connecting from outside I can reach all local IP's despite of my hummingboard running armbian. I didn't add or change any firewall settings. What I also tried is to give it a static Ip adress by editing /etc/network/interfaces and adding/uncommenting this: iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.57 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 and also /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 ..with no …

Hi, I'am the new one. I'am German and bought last month an OrangePi PC+ from AliExpress without a clue what todo with it, but it was cheap ;-) And it was perfect for my new OMV. Just installing OMV on top of Armbian / Jessie was not enough because of missing Quota Kernel Options. When setting up a development Enviroment, I found the excellent Build-Scripts of Armbian and thought, why not making an OMV-Image with the customize-image.sh. And here is it (quick and dirty v0.1) Just copy it with a modified kernel.config under userpatches. It should work with every supported Armbian Board as long as its working with Debian Jessie, because it installes OMV3.X I com…

Can't seem to get the USB redirector to work. I suspect I have to enable but am unsure of how to do that. I've tried a variety of methods to start the daemon to no effect (I am however new to Linux and systems). All I can bring up is this message. I'm using Ubuntu Trusty. ******************** ERROR *********************** Cannot connect to USB Redirector daemon. Please make sure usbsrvd is loaded. If the module is not loaded, please contact our support team. Error log can be found at /var/log/usbsrvd.log **************** **************** **************** Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am trying to compile such a program using SDL2, http://computingvoyage.com/2114/installing-sdl2-on-raspbian-jessie/ after the corresponding settings, the program successfully compiles and runs but receives the following message: Any hint?

So I saw many thread with this question. Of course there are also good answers but I just don't understand. Out of the box HDMI works(hdmi2hdmi). Hdmi2dvi=doesn't work. Analog AV=doesn't work. I'm supposed to disable the hdmi and enable av-out by script.bin with something like [disp_init] My question is where is this file located? Am I suppose to vi create it? Hopefully someone could provide step by step or point me to the right direction with detailed information.

After making some changes to my Armbian setup on the Odroid xu4, I decided to use the Win32DiskImager tool on my Win10 machine to make a bootable image from the microSD card. However, I've now tried two different micro sd cards (a Samsung and a Sandisk) for the backup, but Win10 tells me that it doesn't recognize the file system. It asks me if I want to format the cards. Obviously I don't, because neither would be usable my Odroid xu4. Any idea why I can't backup these Armbian xenial images? Is there a comparable tool on Linux (I have Fedora on another machine) that can make the backup? (I pulled this issue from another thread where it really didn't belong.) Thanks…

Is it possible to use the nand-sata-install script non-interactively?

I build a device with several buttons, sensors etc. Implemented in python. I selected WiringOP for GPIO and installed it with some tweaking. First version is implemented in polling mode. Whenever I start interrupt driven code, I got stuck. No such support as far as I can see. How can I handle this? Thanks

When I boot Orange Pi PC loads and the "Ambian" gui loads with graphical desktop. When it has fully loaded I like my own program to load as well - after everything else has been loaded. In raspberry pi LXDE dekstop I edit a script "sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart". What is the Armbian equivalent?

Hi there, I am using SD Card Copier on Raspbian to copy one Raspberry microsd card to another (can be smaller than original card) and it works great. But when I used it to copy armbian microsd card to another microsd card, another microsd card is unable to boot. Any idea what can be wrong? I love this approach because I am able to copy original card to smaller card but unfortunatelly Armbian OS is not able to boot (on the other hand Raspbian boots ok). When I use Win32DiskImager to copy Rasbian and Armbian, both new cards boot up successfully. Any idea please how can I use SD Card Copier installed on Raspbian to copy microsd card with…

Hi guy's, trying to get my hdmi screen to work on some board (not really relevant but board is orangepi on and lcd is "7inch hdmi lcd (c), usb capacitive touch screen, 1024x600, rev 2.1" - the box it came in states brand is "waveshare") with armbian and I'm having issues. I don't care too much of getting screen to work "ideally", having txt console working is all I need. When I turn the board on I see everything properly, background is, as expected black, letters are white + some colors, it starts the booting process, looks for mmc controller, ethernet etc etc.. then it finds the kernel and start loading it and then - puf, the screen is gone... depending on what h3disp op…

If you don't like autologin in Armbian Ubuntu desktop, or if yo want to have several desktops to choose, here is how I did this. Tested on legacy image, but I belive that same setup should work on mainline too. 1. Install ubuntu desktop image on MMC (I did it using Etcher) 2. Install display manager. Because of simplicity, I choose LXDM. sudo apt-get install lxdm 3.

Does the older stable version of wheezy have the sata power regulator patch? I am having issues with my device shutting down if i access my drive on the Lamobo-r1_Debian_2.8_wheezy_3.4.107 image. I need the hardware support that the older version gives me along with a working sata drive install script. i dont seem to have the shut down issue on the newer kernal images.

Hi This is the error I get E: fexc-bin: Malformed data: version 34984.1.2. Still working in a saved bin.old folder

I have a project where I would like to connect two project boards together with an Ethernet cable. No router, no hub, just two boards with a patch of cat5 between them. In order to make this work I need to get a Link-local IPv4 address on each (RFC 3927). I believe this is done with avahi, but I'm unsure if avahi is simply name resolution or if it performs the link-local address allocation as well. Anyway here's what I've tried: sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon avahi-discover libnss-mdns # sudo reboot -r now # systemctl script on reboot to log IP to file with `hostname -I` What I find is that when I'm hooked up to my router `hostname -I` reports wha…

Hello everyone, first i want to say sorry if this post is not in the right place. I decided to post this in Armbian forum first, because I use it and it was awesome linux distribution with good community and support. I started as a hobby to write a software about controlling relays, to switch things in my home, like light, water heater, floor heater, etc. Hardware passes from PicoIP , thru wireless routers and finish on Orange PI, it offers a lot extras for it's price. What I have done so far: (all is in web interface, written from scratch) You can: switch on/off relays switch on/off relays for period of time schedule …

Hi Igor and everyone else. Id'like to suggest the following: /etc/fstab It´s not necesary to use both noatime and nodiratime, because noatime already implies nodiratime, so you can use only the option "noatime" instead of both. When creating the ext4 filesystem with mkfs.ext4 you can type a label for it with the parameter " -L " so when the users mount their cards on a computer, the desktop will show some name instead "NO NAME". For example: # mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal -L Armbian /dev/mmcblk0p1 or... # mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal -L Cubox-i /dev/mmcblk0p1 Cheers - Klez

Hi, Got a latest Armbian jessie image 5.24 with kernel 3.4.113, and could not find pulseaudio in it. I thought it was already present. Is there any hint/guide for installation to OPi or FA H3 boards with Armbian? Christos

Hello! I'm new here and i would like to ask a question. I have installed rpimonitor on an Orange PI zero but doesn't work so good (graphs doesn't show) so i decided to uninstall. However I cannot! It removes "some" of it but I still get the rpi monitor screen at 8888 port... I tried sudo apt autoremove rpimonitor sudo apt-get purge rpimonitor Can somebody help me remove it completely? I installed it with this command sudo armbianmonitor -r Thanks!!!

Hy all! I have ona big problem. I use armbian 5.24(ubuntu 16.04.2 lts) on pi pc, install transmission torrent from terminal line( sudo apt-get install transmission*), install success, run transmission, set up(download dir,port etc), working fine. Restart app, and "oh-oh" transmission not saved modified settings and lose downloaded torrent file, download list is empty, all settings back to default... I read many guide fix this problem. Not working permission change, not work group change, not work reinstall, not work daemon manual settings, apps not read/save config file... Idea?

Dear all, I'm using Armbian_5.25_Pine64_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.10.104_desktop. The default display resolution of 720p60 is working fine. When I change to full hd with 1080p60 it's working fine. But when I change to 2160p30 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt it isn't working. Even the eth0 isn't working any more, i.e. the LEDs are not blinking and I couldn't connect to the system any more (additional to the fact that the monitor connected to hdmi is also dark). Has anybody been successful with pine64 and 4K with that image or another desktop image? Best regards, Willy P.S.: I also did the FastEthernet fix "ethtool -s e…

Hello, I thought there is dphys-swapfile so I tried to disable it. sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall sudo update-rc.d dphys-swapfile disable But dphys-swapfile is not installed for swap file. How can I disable swap in armbian completely? Is it enough to just remove this line "/var/swap none swap sw 0 0" from fstab?

Good day or night. Help me please. I have armbian. And there are - systemd. I do not know how to set up my usb keyboard to make it work with two displays at once. With tty1 and ttyS0 at the same time. To become a clone tty1 -> ttyS0. Tell me, how do I configure it?

Anyone have success with GStreamer and Xenial Desktop? Once upon a time (mid 2015) gstreamer used to work like this: gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=vid.mp4 ! qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink Time has passed and the many parts that make up GStreamer (libva libcedrus vdpau-sunxi libvdpau gstreamer and gstreamer-vaapi) have evolved. I revisited this because I have recently stumbled upon an invocation that let's me play videos with hardware acceleration in gstreamer.

Hello everyone, I was used to use the cubox-i running on a hummingboard (2 years ago) and tried to install a pps source using pps-gpio module and the GPIO1 (pin 7) of the HummingBoard jumpers. Given that pps-gpio requires an entry in the device tree for pps, and I couldn't find/patch/recompile again sources (image was built by another person), I decompiled the imx6q-hummingvboard.dtb present in /boot, then modified it adding : pps { compatible = "pps-gpio"; gpios = <0x01 0x01 0x01>; }; and then I recompiled this source and copied into /boot. When I rebooted, the new /dev/pps1 was created and the pulses were rece…

Hello! Is there some Allwinner's based board that can work as usb-client under mainline kernel? Looks like other people want only host-mode from OTG-port with mainline kernel =( Thanks

Hello, everyone. Shameless self-promo: https://github.com/znoxx/torbox This set of scripts will allow you to create a tor-enabled wifi access point. Image for OrangePI Zero is based on Armbian - i just disabled NetworkManager here to allow correct execution of scripts. The idea is - you get "normal internet" from Ethernet jack, then do some TOR magic and all traffic from wifi side is "torred". Also I2P is installed to have "more darkness" in your Internets. Everything intended to be completely headless with managing via web interface, written with node.js. Have fun. For russian-speaking persons - description is here: http://znoxx.me/tor-i2p-m…

Apparently I'm not good at this... What I want to do is to build a subnet of IoT devices in home/small-office environments. I'm not sure how I would implement this... Suppose: I have a classic wireless/modem/router at 192.168.1.1, windows / android devices already connected, fixed IP or DHCP. I want to build another subnet of IoT devices, say 192.168.200.x... At the center I have a Windows 7/8/10 PC with a single NIC, with two IP addresses, say 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.200.1 - this can reach all two subnets... The problem is the IoT devices (currently several OPi versions, Raspberry Pi's etc) which have fixed IP'…

When attempting to update to the dev kernel I ran ' apt-get install armbian-firmware sunxi-tools swconfig a10disp ' per the instructions. It is not finding the swconfig and a10disp packages with the standard repositories active (I have done apt-get update). If these are in an alternative location, perhaps add a line in the kernel update instructions (for various Orange Pi in my case) to add it. I see one older message referencing it being available on a beta site. The same command is present for the non-dev instructions. It also seems odd that a10disp is listed for these H3 based boards (but there is also no h3disp package). Are the instructions wrong/old…

Hi All, I am trying to run Toxcore tests on OrangPi Zero inorder to run a tox client on this board. So far I tried clone git repositories of libsodium and opus. I did make and make install for both of them .I did not find any issues in installing them. I built them on OrangePi itself. I did not pass any crosscompiler prefixes to ./configure command while building them.My doubt is ,are these libraries compiled with armgcc or normal gcc ? I thougt whatever gcc is available on Orangepi is armgcc so I didnot pass any arguments to ./configure while building. make process was simple and passed without any isseus for bot libsodium and opus.But…

Hi! Yesterday I get my first build of a NanoPi port of pi4j (http://pi4j.com/) running. A simple test with a double color led on a NanoPi M1 works fine. Actually I am going to adapt the board specific code. Hence some questions are open. Is there a simple way to differ NanoPi Boards by SW (NanoPi M1, Neo and Air) to set the correct board? Memory size of the board The Raspberry code uses the revision string of /proc/cpuinfo to retrieve this informations. But this info is PI specific. Any idea how to get this info? Using C is not a problem - pi4j is a mix of Java and native libraries. Peter P.S: Java Example File - …

Hey all, I've been using Allwinner boards for the last couple of years and Armbian+forums have made this a workable thing that I promote to my friends as being The Way To Go instead of being a big fat waste of time. Igor + Tkaiser (and anyone else forgive me if I didn't give you a shout) - You fucking rock. You really do; you've all provided amazing amounts of support for multiple kernels and userspaces and in the face of (at least) bullshit from the chip vendors, yet you are absolutely crucial to them being taken seriously. The work from Armbian has (for me) made the difference between BananaPi, OrangePi, etc all being an unusable washout of #ShitDidn'tW…

We will be configuring in a mode that allows both NFSv3 and NFSv4 clients to connect to access to the same share. Q. What are the benefits of an NFS share over a SAMBA share? A. This would take an article in itself! But as a brief reasoning, In a closed network (where you know every device), NFS is a fine choice. With a good network, throughput it disgustingly fast and at the same time less CPU intensive on the server. There are a lot of applications that support NFS "Out of the box" KODI being a common example. It's very simple to set up and you can toggle readonly on shares you don't need to be writeable. It only gets complicated if you want to start l…

Hi all, I've been reading a lot about VPU acceleration for h264 decoding and encoding. However, it seems that there is not much regarding transcoding (decoding + encoding). I would be interested in decoding 1080p h264 and encoding it back to 720p h264 in realtime. Ideally having that operation on 2 streams in parallel would be great. I've seen that quite some work has been done in cedrus : https://linux-sunxi.org/Cedrus As I can, h264 decoding seems to be supported but encoding is unclear. And there is obviously no comment about running both operations at the same time. Since I would like to run a few tests and maybe help a …

About a year ago I reported the kswapd0 running out of control on OPi PC and Igor, after couple of tries made it behave. Today, I got OPi One loaded with the latest 5.26 Ubuntu D/T and the OPi PC2 with today's daily Ubuntu D/T and both demonstrated the following behaviour when pressed for memory: Specifically, running a "make -j2", when the available RAM got below 38000, the kswapd0 started getting more cpu time and eventually everything stopped waiting for disk I/O (80% wa displayed in "top"). Interestingly, not a single byte of swap storage was used. I tried different combinations of programs and everything worked fine until the demands on RAM got the available RAM …

Hi! I want to write SPI slave custom driver for H3. For this I need to cut off existing SPI Master driver. I did this during configuring Armbian 3.4.112 in image build process.

Hello, I decided to monitor some temperature stuff at home and used few ds18b20 w1 sensors and they work, but due to some cable limitation and number of the sensors at same point they failed. I decided to test with 10 meters CAT5 FTP cable, changed pull up resistor to 4KO and 3 ds18b20 work at 10m cable on 3.3V, If I add one more they all fail. I switched volatage to 5V and all good, but I wondering is it possible to initialize w1 bus on another GPIO? After I google that and so some reading, people achieve that on raspberry but they patched the kernel somehow. Any idea how can that be done on armbian?

After a reboot of my cubietruck has the wrong date and time !? 26-Sep-2012 I updated the time with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata Select Europe and Berlin but nothing changed. Then i set the time manually. That worked but can not the deal. What is wrong with my cubie? hwclock: select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out: No such file or directory ntpq -p: ntpq: read: Connection refused In the moment i have the correct time, becaus i set it manually, but the wrong date :-( Edit: Okay, i do it now that way: date -s "14 Nov 2015 10:58:00" But how can it be that the date and time is wrong after a reboot?

Hello. I have a question not directly related to Armbian, but to Linux in general. I just saw my problem fixed here and can't see how. I have most of my multimedia on samba share in my local home network. In Windows i am able to play videos from this share with directly loaded external subtitles (when available). But from Linux it's not that easy, when open share in file manager (double click). In some cases even video/music/pictures can't load from players with some incorrect path errors, but let's say this worked in most cases and focus on subtitles. For some reason when opening videos in Linux with file manager from samba share, only video loads, not the external subt…

This extraction is done on the Raspberry Pi with "raspivid -x output". It is also exposed in picamera. Does anyone know if there is a similar capability to extract the motion vectors? If not, how one might go about doing this in python/c++? thanks, philip

hi there, i was wondering if there a away to compile mosquitto 1.4. successfully the current version is 1.3.3 ( or something like that) when I try to compile it it seams to compile correctly and it seams to install correctly. the broker portion works fine but the client side does not. when you try to publish or subscribe it complains a file is missing. I needed it for websockets to compile id did this wget https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/archive/v1.3-chrome37-firefox30.tar.gz tar xvzf v1.3-chrome37-firefox30.tar.gz cd v1.3-chrome37-firefox30 mkdir build cd build cmake .. make sudo make install sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libwebso…

After much trial and error, I cross compiled opencv against a live armbian rootfs mounted via sshfs. I've documented the steps (including rationale and troubleshooting insights) on my blog: http://studiow.cf/blog/post/how-to-cross-compile-opencv-for-armbian-with-gtk

I like the idea, but having an all winner chip kills it, I'd love tkaisers thoughts...lol. https://liliputing.com/2017/02/olimex-teres-open-source-diy-laptop-kit-240.html

Hello, I have several ARM boards in my possession and I want to be able to boot them all from a single SD card (I have commercial SW which requires activation and is tied to a particular SD card afterwards). So far, I have made this script which creates multiple /boot-boardname directories, replaces /boot with a symlink to one of those, and makes sure the right u-boot is written to the card. However, I have one little problem I couldn't yet solve: I would like to generate the correct /etc/modules file for a new board, and I don't know how. For example, Orange Pi Zero needs this xradio_wlan module for WIFI. Where do I find the info that this module is needed? A…

Hello to all. I'm trying to use the image Armbian_5.25_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.9.4.img but I can not operate the webcam. With the image of the previous version, the webcam worked with gs2035 and vte_v42l modules, which can not find in the current image. Is it an omission or there are compatibility issues? Where could I find instructions (simple, if possible) to compile them? Thank you.

Hello, I have idea to make a product (based on SBC - Small Board Computer) and sell it on the market, but after searching many forums, websites, youtubes etc I am sure only for one: All what can work on that SBCs stable (I mean stable for production use, for customer product) is... lighting a LED connected to pins... That's all. Anything else could work, but also could not work. Drivers coud be found, but you can not be sure they will work (most of them are in version zero point...). Units could be connected, but it doesn't mean they will work when connected... Crazy. Let me explain more. My project needs a SBC with working camera and working communication (Bluetooth or …

Hi, which is the correct way to add additional bootargs using /boot/armbianEnv.txt ? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

hi there, I'm trying to power my NanoPI over a Loudspeaker cable with 12V. At the end I have a 7805 voltage regulator with 100nF at input and output. At the Powersupply i meassure 12V and 200-300mA current. The 7805 gets extremely hot! Anyone seen similar behavior or got me a tip? Sincerely, Twosky2000

On http://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/I see am Armbian 5.25 with many improvements But on https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipc/the files seem to be 5.24 and older, even the nightly versions. I am interested in the sunxi mainline version with kernel 4.9. Thanks in advance! Christian

Hey Guys You had been amazing, I'm had used your armbian and I'm very proud of it. I reache to run it very well over my OPi Plus 2 SE and OPi One, without major troubles. But instruction to get a booteable sd copy of current emmc It is not understandable, regardless if is a backpup, a clone, a dd command or a sript to do do over the sd port or to a usb sd card... I could not reach resolve it, because there are many topics with many comment and the main tread explanation is lost. Please, can anyone, write a clear step by step procedure to do any of it?, Sorry and Regards, Pescadito

Got a bit of a weird issue and the search in Armbian site is not helping much due to words with few characters.. Have a Opi+2E running Armbian Ubuntu 16.04.1 xenial desktop and an ethernet connection. (Packet tracking is via wireshark) Whenever an ARP network request comes to it (targeted at its MAC addr) for revealing its IP, it does not reply back. Is there any hint or info on such an issue? Solved. It was just me not rebooting when needed.. Sorry for the noise.

Screen goes black after starting kernel, i've installed the latest version of Armbian. Before that, there was no problem. I was using Armbian debian server

I have a cubietruck board and successfully moved my Armbian installation from my microSD card to my SSD. I would like to clean up the microSD card now and shrink it to a smaller size, so I can move the content to a smaller card. What do I actually need on that card to be able to boot to SSD? Just the '/boot' folder or does the boot loader need any other data to do its magic?

Hello everybody, this is my very first post on armbian forum! I wanted to give a try to armbian on my bananapi M1 so I'm running the Debian Jessie server version. I formerly used both raspbian and bananian and always ran OpenVPN server in order to be able to connect home when I'm away. This time I reconfigured the service from scratch following this guide: https://wiki.debian.org/OpenVPN My problem is that I after the set up the daemon doesn't seem to start for real... :-/ The output of "service openvpn status" command report the service as running. On the other side, netstat on the server and telnet from a client on port 1194 act as the service isn't …

What are the commands to upgrade armbian server Debian GNU / Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun8i, to the current version 3.4.113? Thank you

I've been using debian on all my systems for a long time. On my x86 and x64 systems, debian_version always gets updated after dist-upgrades and upgrades. It has never been the case for my embedded boards running armbian jessie. I tried to research into what actually does the trigger, but I can't find any details. When I log in, my splashscreen confirms there are no new updates (I updated this morning). It's still showing 8.0 in /etc/debian_version. I expect to see /etc/debian_version reflect 8.4 Any ideas? sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade...

Hello, when I turn on my orangepi with armbian, it automatically logs me in and shows desktop. How can I please disable autologin and auto desktop? For example, on raspberry pi after boot I see just terminal with username and password, when I type these it logs me in and stays in terminal, and when I want dekstop environment I type startx and then I am in desktop. I would like to have the same behaviour on the orangepi (first headless after boot, I juust after then I should be able to login and choose to display desktop). Many thanks.

hi, Question: Is it possible in armbian Desktop version, Change user name and rename directory / home / user So that armbian start with the new desktop? thanks from spain

Hello I would like to backup my SD card so that in case of crash I do not have to make all the config again. I tried to make the image with Win32Diskimg, the image is done, but when I put it again on the board, it doesn't boot. Is there a special process to make this image ? Thanks Greg

Hi This issue is produced on both flavors of Linux for the orange pi zero i.e. Debian and Ubuntu. I am trying to login to pi zero using the serial terminal. First time it asks me to change the password, which I changed. Then using that changed password I tried to login into it. However, whenever I enter the password in it. it restarts. I even used the external high power phone charger to test this issue but in both cases result was same. Any solution to this problem?

Hi, I would suggest that in Armbian use Webmin as default. - easy interface - very easy to check the status of Armbiana - easy to install basic services, eg. Ftp, samba There are many questions on the forum related to the different installations, using this program is much easier. How to install (Orange Pi PC ): (Webmin updates itself to the latest version - notification appears) sudo apt-get install -y perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.831_all.deb sudo dpkg --install webmin_1.831_all.deb access: (ignore https warni…

Good day! I have made modifications to the kernel driver for the temperature sensor Dallas ds18b20 on w1 bus. Slightly corrected timings, have achieved stable operation of sensors with parasitic power, and also added the option of changing the resolution. Now you can easily set 9,10,11 or 12bit resolution, by a simple command "echo 9..12 > /sys/bus/w1/devices/28-xxxxxxx/w1-resolution". Accordingly, when you lower the resolution significantly decreased the response time of the sensor from 1100ms (whith 12bit) down to 125ms (with 9bit). My question is can I post here the modified source code of the driver, or it will violate any rights? w1 folder, after mo…

I'm experimenting with video transcoding but am getting problems when using vdpau to decode and the hw video encoder. Using this https://github.com/stulluk/FFmpeg-Cedrus and https://github.com/uboborov/ffmpeg_h264_H3 software decode & hw encode = 15-20FPS but high CPU usage. it can do 60FPS encoding rate with 960x540 30fps h264 source dropping the compression helps a bit too (-qp 24, default is 30) hw decode & hw encode of 1080 h264 = 1FPS, using 4k h265 as the source gives 1.5 FPS ffmpeg -hwaccel vdpau -i 1080p30.mp4 -c:v cedrus264 -c:a copy -pix_fmt nv12 out.mp4 Is the video engine designed to do transcoding?

Hello, is it possible to use GPIO Pins with this OS? I would like to use this code: http://mujweb.cz/tlc/RasPi-SMT/ Board: OrangePI PC I decided to use this OS as the original images doesnt seem to support an USB WLAN adapter with atheros chipset I am using. This OS seems to work well with it.

Hi. I am just wondering what the fastest time people have getting from plug in power to command prompt on something like the NanoPi M1 or Neo. I use one of mine as an command line mp3 player (mpg123) and pretty much that;s all it does apart form some gpio buttons. It does not use network. Are there any tips on speeding up boot so playback can commence faster? I have never build a version of Armbian, but I am willing to give it a try - would a custom version be much faster? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Are there any other images floating around that could demo a faster speed? J.

hi all, would love to run 'mainline' kernel on some of the boards. Armbian does provide 'choice' today for most/many Orange boards as well as NanoPI ... tu build the image with mainline/4.9 kernel. my needs are not too complex a) Ethernet USB to drive USB DAC ... Is there anyone on a forum who has tried recent 4.9-rc or maybe even 4.8 and it worked well and if yes which boards did you use ? I am running Odroid-C2 happily with Armbian and 3.14.79 kernel but some of the very old bugs have been fixed later on (kernel bugs) and am looking for a board that might run recent kernel well (enough). Thank you !

Hey, First: Thanks to everybody making this work. I installed armbian on a beelink x2 TV Box with the old wifi Chip, we had two of them and the Android Rom just stopped working, well it worked but the Youtube App and such Things didnt. Im trying to reuse them as little Desktop Machines with armbian. For its Hardware it runs pretty good but there is one Problem. I need a new build of smTube, the Version i get via apt-get is to old. The box plays the Videos via Kodi or with a direct Link in smPlayer well but in FireFox it decodes it over the CPU i think and then it has Problems. I also tried to install a new smTube arm deb package with Gdebi but there are some depenc…
