Tried to build making a new git clone of the repository. So far tried to test by building orangepipcplus and orangepiplus2e, both stop in the screen 'Choose image type'. Options selected for both are 'Os image for installation to SD card', 'vendor provided / legacy ..) kernel, 'Debian 8 jessie', 'Image with desktop'environment'. Also, another try to build for nanopineo stopped in the same place. It seems that today's commits (29/12/2016) got something to do with this, I was able to generate images up to yesterday. @Igor, @zador.blood.stained can you please let me know if it works ok with you after today's commits?

Recently we bought several BananaM2+ boards to integrate them into our future fiscal project We are developing software using Armbian Linux Debian-3.4.113-sun8i with standard core, which was chosen as a stable platform. For now we have a problem with integration. Due to our fiscal laws the board should be placed in the fiscal box with no access from outside. Now we are testing the board “on the table†using typical operations (even without loading it by typical cashiers operations) and the temperature rises very high. As a result the board starts switching off processor’s cores leaving only 1 working. We even still haven’t started testing the board placed into…

Is it possible to use a Gert VGA 666 adapter with orange pi boards? It would be great to have a 2 Monitor System. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=94424 Thank you for your answer.

According to http://linux-sunxi.org/H2%2B#VariantsI should be able to differentiate between the H2+ and the H3 via the CPU SID. I have an Orange Pi Zero board with this output from /proc/cpuinfo Hardware : Allwinner sun8i Family Revision : 0000 Serial : 02004620161dea8a According to that site "the last byte of the first word" should be either 0x42 or 0x83 since the Orange Pi Zero has an H2+. Yet I am not finding 0x42 or 0x83 *anywhere* in "02004620161dea8a". Anyone know how to correctly identify the CPU variant?

Hi there, I am quite new to Armbian (Debian), but experienced on Fedora (RedHat). I want to use national language support on my Armbian device [Orange Pi PL+]. In particular Polish (but if this post transforms into guide it will be for others too). How do I install(?) / enable (?) / rebuild (?) packages (especially GUI) to enable Polish language? With this, OPi / Armbian would be an "viable" alternative to some "STBs" (2x less price... freedom of installing packages). Fonts, keyboard (I saw only "Polish-Dvorak" which is not correct, should be "polish-programmers" - with ALT-Gr or Polish-"typewriter" which I guess is not available now), all these stuff. …

Hi, if anybody would like to use - please see attached script for backup of block devices.

Hi, Is there support planned for this board anytime soon? I've been using Armbian on my Banana Pi M1 since more than a year ago and I've been thinking of upgrading to a more powerful board and the M2 seems quite nice. Thanks!

When I try to login for the first time on an Odroid C2 and I follow these steps: Root password is 1234. You will be prompted to change this password and to create a normal user at first login. Then I get the following error: Authentication token manipulation error The password is reset and I go through through steps 1 and 2. I've tried using 5 different passwords with the same result. Any ideas?

Hi all, I'm trying to compile kodi with the openelec patches so it can work on armbian. I've got cedarx installed and am using the following configure: ./configure --enable-non-free --enable-codec=cedarx --prefix=/opt/kodi --disable-x11 --disable-gl --disable-vdpau --disable-vaapi However kodi isn't finding a display. Are these configure options correct?

Hi, I've got Armbian Jessie setup as I want and wanted to clone it for backup. But when I boot the clone I get errors that lightdm can not start and my home dir is owned by root and is empty. The sudoers file is missing etc etc. Any ideas why this is happening? I've cloned Raspberry images hundreds of times and never seen this. The original card still boots perfectly? I've used this line to clone (on a Ubuntu machine) sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=~/sdclone.img and when writing back sudo dd if=~/sdclone.img of=/dev/sdc I've also tried with bs=4M, notrunc,noerrors etc etc What should I do?

Fresh install no X server, no GUI. Unfortunately the cursor is not shown in the terminal. You can type and delete text, but the character under the cursor position is not at all highlighted. I can make it shown with adding something like "echo -e '\e[?16;0;200c' " (colors it orange) to my bash prompt, but in then I start vim and the cursor is still hidden! I can set colorcolumn and colorrow to work around this in vim, but it seems that the problem lies deeper. So I looked around and found the setterm command. It works for setting my background and foreground colors, however when I do "setterm --cursor on" or "setterm --blink on" nothing happens, cursor is sti…

Hello, I would like to ask your help about a orange pi choice. i am a kindergarden teacher and I need a computer for my classroom, in order to show the kids videos, images, access internet for information and if it is possible, play .swf games. We had a very old desktop that is now dead, but the mouse, keyboard, old (not flat) vga monitor work ok. Do you think if I buy an orange pi pc (or an other board) and hdmi to vga adaptor and use armbian , I will be ok? No need to say that lack of money is the major issue......

Hi, I am having problem with overscan on orangepipc on my car display. https://goo.gl/photos/19v3Ji2cAUMsLwoV6 Left border is cropped by 32 pixels and bottom is cropped by 52px. Resolution is 800x480 configured with h3disp -m 31. I am outputing video using HDMI-to-VGA reduction and then I transform VGA signal to RGBS using two XOR gates (so the car display understand the signal). Running self-build Armbian with ubuntu xenail on legacy kernel (3.4.113-sun8i). I want to crop or scale my desktop so it will fit the screen. I tried so far xrandr --transform (it seems that it is not supported) set env in uboot to enable overscan_x and y (works only in ub…

Hey the first time i tried armbian on tronsmart android box with sdcard , it was so seamless and so awesome. I am wondering if anyone has tried armbian on any android tablet. And it would be nice to support any of these tablets out there. In that way you don't have to worry about separate hdmi tv or monitor and accessories to use armbian. I always believe that arm's edge is in mobility, sleek and being minimal .

Hi all. After installation of transmission-daemon I got two issues. First one is "UDP Failed to set receive/send buffer". I did fix it by adding next two lines to /etc/sysctl.conf net.core.rmem_max = 16777216 net.core.wmem_max = 4194304 Second one is that RPC does not start on boot but only after manual restart of service after boot. I believe it's caused because transmission starts before network goes online. I tried to fix it by adding into /lib/systemd/system/transmission-daemon.service [unit] ... Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target But it does not help. I did fix it by adding next two lines to /etc/rc.l…

Hi I've just set up the Roseapple Pi with Armbian (legacy server Debian). As I often find (over a range of monitors) there's an overscan so bad I can't see the "login" instructions at the bottom of the screen... on all sides the text is off the edge of the screen. For the life of me I can't see WHERE to adjust the overscan - can anyone help. Pete.

I have spent the greater part of the day trying to get fbtft working on an ili9341 display on the nano pi neo with the legacy kernel. I have looked through the forum over and over and I cannot find out how the pins are numbered for fbtft. I got https://github.com/wertyzp/WiringNPand did a gpio readall and that gives me some pin numberings. I have tried both the pins from wPi and BCM. Neither work. I have done this many times on a raspberry pi, but cannot seem to get it to work on any of the H3 stuff. I saw in the forums that in the mainline kernel, there is a mathematical equation for pin numberings. I tried that as well, with no luck. I also tried giving the actual portp…

Hello guys! I'm new on the forum and I'll start using Armbian for my Orange boards, I was using Loboris images in Orange Pi Forums but I haven't seen any updates on them, so I decided to use Armbian for my boards. I have tested a little bit and everything works like a charm. Taking into account that I'm not an expert either in Linux or Programming I'd like to have a little board that I purchased one year ago which is the NanoPi board http://www.nanopi.org/NanoPi_Feature.html ,is it possible to port Armbian to that device? I haven't been able to use WiFi on the device or connect it to internet to update packages and so on. I also couldn't finish the "Kernel build" …

Hello, I attempted to port the dirty COW fix (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619) for 3.4.112, and came up with this: https://github.com/SvenKayser/Sambooca-Kernel-H3/commit/543472582a6adcef12fae4ad11da72a62f29fb74.patch Apparently it solves the issue, but to be sure maybe some of you guys can give it a test. If it checks out please do commit it in the right places for Armbian - which I wouldn't know (Armbian has so many kernel patch folders, I don't wanna mess things up) Regards Sven

Hello, Does anyone of you ever have done power consumption measurement or any statistic? For my Orange Pi cluster I have build up a simple circuit, to measure the total current (ampere) [1]. If all my nodes are powered off and my cubietruck and a orange Pi are powered on, the measured current is about 2A. It looks like that the Orange Pi One does not Consume a significant amount of current, if it is idle. And he is idle for about 90% of time. In case of all of that my 5 OrangePi PC nodes, the Orange PI One and my cubietruck is powered on, the measured current is about 7A what gives a power consumption of ~ 35Watt. Which is the power consumption when every node / host…

Hi, my new Orange Pi has been set up with an external HDD. I've backed up my banana pi m1 with sudo tar cvpzf /mnt/BackupNas/backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev --exclude=/boot / and restored the files onto the external HDD on the OPI. A restart was successfully and the system appears to run smoothly. It now doesn't display the nice text after logging in via SSH. I am afraid that there are other important files overwritten. Does anybody know what I might have overwritten and needs to be restored from plain armbian? Thanks René

For what it's worth: I managed to compile VICE (classic commodore computer emulators) on my roseapple pi board running Armbian. I could not find it in the repository, so I started fiddling myself. This to address some nostalgic feelings which come by so now and then! Recipe in the spoiler.... Compiling and installation is pretty straight forward: 1) Download VICE 2.4 source-code from http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/ 2) xvzf vice-2.4.tar.gz 3) cd vice-2.4 4) sudo apt-get install build-essential libvte-dev libasound2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgnome2-dev 5) make 6) sude make install 7) start your trip down to memory lane with: vsid - the SID player x64 - the …

Hey guys and gals and aliens and their pets, What does a better single board computer look like? What chipset does it use? what does it do differently from past models? I have some thoughts on this but I'd be remiss not to ask yours. "Better" is a goal. Need to figure out what better is, first, and then act.

Hi, I have Lime2 with installed last version Armbian. How make I2S interface in slave mode? Need build a new kernel or I2S driver? Any recomendations please... Kind regards

Hi guys! I understood yesterday that the Raspberry Pi 3 is limited to only 2-channel 16-bit PCM audio over HDMI by its ALSA driver. Therefore I'm now looking for another board capable of at least outputting 6x 24-bit LPCM 48 kHz channels. My goal is to build a software DSP, processing multi-channel audio recorded from an USB audio interface. The idea is to capture a home-cinema receiver pre-outs, mix and apply biquads for crossover with the sub and speaker tuning, then handle the clock difference between input and output. A couple threads mention difficulties with 24-bit audio, on legacy kernel and over I2S, where the user Christos observed issues. Do…

Hi all, I have just deployed the 5.2 Armbian version (desktop) on my OrangePiLite but the first boot seems to cause issues - I have an USB mouse and keyboard connected but during the bootprocess I receive the messages: usb 7-1: new low-speed USB device number xx using sunxi-ohci generic-usb 0003:....... input,hidraw-: USB HID v1.11 Mouse on usb-sunxi-ohci-1/input0 However, these messages just repeat and are counting. I can not do anything else, this step comes up after I have created a new user and assigned a new password. Thanks for help and advice.

Hi I would like to add Armbian version to banner after login (eg. v5.10) to be sure that I'm using latest version. Is this value stored somewhere in the filesystem? I already checked: /proc/version /etc/debian_version /etc/os-release but it's not there. I found it in /etc/armbian.txt but this is plain text file and parsing it to fetch the value is a little overkill. Is there a better place where I can find it?

I'm currently running Armbian Ubuntu Xenial Server on a Cubietruck, it works very well, thanks for all the effort! I recently bought a Raspberry Pi 3, installed some of the available images and found them kind of disappointing. The RPI2 and RPI3 both support ARMv7, which should make it reasonably easy to run Armbian Ubuntu images on it. Any chance of getting RPI2/3 support in the future? I would be willing to test work. Thanks!

I have an orangepi pc+ which (among other duties) exports my usb (/media/wd/Music) drive with nfs. The external usb drive (A Western Digital) automatically enters sleep mode when it is not used for a while. When I try to mount that nfs-share on another machine, I hear the drive spinning up (awakening) and the mount succeeds. But when I try to access the mount I get "ls: cannot access /opt/music: Stale file handle" I had the same drive and /etc/exports on my raspberrypi-2 but there I did not have this problem (I could hear it spinning up as well when I accessed the mount so I know it was entering sleep mode as well).

I have a Odroid XU4 board that I am trying to build an image for and it will not boot from any images I have built from the compile.sh pulled from github. The board u-boot led doesn't turn on (solid blue) and nothing is displayed from the hdmi port. I select SD card image and have tried writing it with Win32 imager, Etcher, and the dd command. I did get an Ubuntu image downloaded from Odroid to work so the board is not faulty. Nothing has worked and I'm at a loss as to why when I personally compile an image it does not work. Thanks for the help

Which is the hardware platform with the most rock-solid hardware for operating Debian with some domotics service running headless 24/7 ?

Hi All, Does anybody have a solution to the issue with playing video in Armbian that the MPV on-screen controls (i.e. Pause, Stop and the Timeline) isn't visible in the bottom middle of the video frame? Is there any way to get this back? Does it require a re-compile of mpv, or is this behaviour a result of the All winner undocumented blob based hardware acceleration, dumping pixels straight onto the frame buffer, with little one can do about it.

Hi! I want copy Armbian from eMMC to sd card, someone can help? Thanks!

Hi. I'm try use "wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com| bash" for Odroid C0, but have error "Unsupported hw"... How can I fix it?

I need to introduce a boot delay on my OrangePiPc to allow time for other network elements in my setup to boot, otherwise it will not get an IP address after recovering from a power interruption (common where I am). In Raspbian, this can done by adding a 'boot_delay=n' line in /boot/config.txt, however I don't see this file in Armbian. How can this be accomplished on Armbian 5.20?

hello my name is jean philippe, i am working with most orange pi products since i bought like 1000$ worth of them from steven 2 years ago. i have the plus, the orange pi h3, and two different a20s i am willing to work in conjunction with you guys right now, i have a (99% fully working stable .img) the only thing i cant get it of the verbose what is the file with arguments on that distro???? boot.cmd cmdline.txt uEnv.txt???? i have no clue how to shut down verbose completely since theres no grub. PLEASE HELP, would be greatly appreciated. i know, this is armbian forum, but you guys dont have the HW acceleration like the other ima…

EDIT: This is NOT about a (hidden) backdoor but just a local privileges escalation that affects one single 3.4 kernel variant for 2 Allwinner SoCs. In case you came here through lurid headlines please read this comment here first and help stop spreading further BS like "all Allwinner devices contain a hidden backdoor" -- the code has been found since Allwinner could be convinced to open their Github repos in the past so everyone is able to audit their Android kernel source! It has been brought to our attention two days ago on 2016-04-30 in linux-sunxi IRC that Allwinner's 3.4 legacy kernel for H3/A83T/H8 contains a nasty local privileges escalation. Any process …

R40 is a new SoC from Allwinner known as 'quad-core A20 successor' (link to datasheet). It shares most hardware details with A20 (true SATA, GbE -- EMAC and GMAC listed separately -- 2 USB2.0 host ports, one USB OTG, and fortunately also PMIC/battery support (link to AXP221s datasheet). Unfortunately Allwinner chose a manufacturing partner known for never providing exact specs/info to produce the first R40 device available. So we won't get any info about performance and working hardware features unless we buy this device on our own and test. I just had a quick look into one already released OS image 'funnily' based on one of our Armbian OS images for a H3 board: …

First of All... Great job on this Distro very much appreciated. Thanks. I have a goal of running a real-time kernel on a H3 (NanoPi Neo preferably and or M1). Ultimate goal is to be able to run MachineKit on one of these (headless on Neo). MachineKit requires a real-time kernel with RT_PREEMPT being the preferred choice it seems. There are patches available for the kernel for 4.6 and 4.8. so we look to tracking close to the mainline with 4.7.6 considering 4.8 released on Oct 2nd. I tried patching the Armbian Kernel and not unexpectedly I got a number of conflicts with previous patches and some rejects. I am looking for some guidance here as to the best way t…

I've got a quick question about the Armbian Ubuntu Xenial install. I want to make sure I'm not in the wrong here before looking around for where to submit a bug report. It seems that at least on the C2s, & NanoPI Neos that I have that the /etc/resolv.conf file is not a link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. That doesn't seem right to me, is there a reason it's a regular file and not a link? It messes things up when moving the computer to different networks as it doesn't update with new DNS settings. Possibly more glaringly it could be a security issue for those unaware or not paying attention while using things like openvpn.

Good day! I found some oddities with UART port driver. If I change the speed or the number of bits in the transmission, then everything works fine. But if I try to set the parity it does not sets. Not work modes: "EVEN, SPACE, MARK". Normal works only "NONE". Anyone faced similar problem? Tested under minicom and Java prorgam. The same result. p.s. I mean this modes sets only logical and does not sets physical. The device on other end always reports parity errors.

I am trying to make a pair of scripts, guiup & guidown, that will disable/enable the gui at boot and start/stop it now. "systemctl [stop/start] lightdm.service" works for doing it now, but "systemctl [disable/enable] lightdm.service" does not work as expected. Systemctl disable does work, but then when I enable it again and reboot, lightdm does not come up. Some clues maybe : root@bananapim2:~# systemctl disable lightdm Synchronizing state of lightdm.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install...

How is it possible to add the second wireless interface bound to the same physical WiFi adapter? This question is brought up from the following thread : http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1346-howto-create-software-wireless-access-point/ This was already discussed. I and Igor disabled second interface in Makefile before building it, because it is confusing for most users (at least from my point of view). Talking how to rebuild driver with this option enabled is off topic... --- I am running Armbian on OPI+ and BPI. How is it possible to add the second wireless interface bound to the same physical WiFi adapter? The goal is to configure…

Hi, Since yesterday's new 4.8 kernel announcement was having at least one Allwinner CPU supported with I2S in a DTS include file, (sun7i-a20.dtsi), I hope some knowledgable brilliant minds will come and give a similar solution for H3 and the many today's boards that contain this CPU. Christos

hi all, sorry for the trivial question. in cubietruck plus board can I use the images for cubietruck 3? thank you

Hello, I found this Lightweight Device Mounter: https://github.com/LemonBoy/ldm I thought it was interesting enough to share it. install necessary dependencies: apt-get install libmount-dev libglib2.0-dev libudev-dev the systemd service needs ldm.conf file in /etc: nano /etc/ldm.conf with following contents: MOUNT_OWNER=usernameBASE_MOUNTPOINT=/mnt enable the service: systemctl enable ldm start the service: systemctl start ldm It should work, it does with me.

Hi, A few months back I installed version 5.10 on a cubietruck. After setting everything up I configure the system to boot from SD and have the system on SATA. Everything was fine until yesterday. It looks like my SD card is corrupted. I created a new SD card using version 5.14 and booted, after booting I mounted the SATA drive and everything seems fine on the SATA. The question is how can I boot again from SD and use the existing system on my SATA? I don’t want to have to reinstall/configure everything. Thank you Mike

Hello, My sunxi_tp_temp always reports the same value (429496576.0). After digging around, it seems like it's not reading the correct registers. According to the H3 datasheet(1), pp 255-258, the thermal sensor base is at 0x01C25000. The data register is at 0x01C25080. Using the mod_mmio.h and sunxi_tp_temp.c as a guide, I wrote a little utility to print the current SoC temp. #include <stdio.h> #include "mod_mmio.h" // improved temperature print utility // GPLv2 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { float reading,celsius,farenheit; reading = (float)mmio_read(0x01c25080); //celsius = (reading - 2794.0) / -14.882; Allwinner H3 datasheet formula cels…

Hi! I have a Banana Pi Pro running last Armbian v5.20 via SD card. There is 2 usb HD 2TB connected.I create a software RAID1 /dev/md0 with the 2 usb hd dev/sda1 & dev/sdb1 mounted as /mnt/md0. Up to now all is working fine. My goal, put the root on that raid1. The script nand-sata-install does not reconize 'md' device, only 'sd' device so i did a very litte modification to the script to reconize 'md'. The script run fine and it transfert all from the SD card to the 'md' (raid) but after the reboot,,,,, nothing, the system wont start. I am not a linux expert but i think that the problem is that the raid must be start from /boot (still on SD card) before the system …

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. But unfortunately it looks like some of the programs from the apt package are also not working. If i run apt-key nothing happens and I only see the command prompt. root@cubietruck:/home/albuntu# apt-key root@cubietruck:/home/albuntu# This only happens when booting from nand. Every nigth I make a copy to the sata drive. So I bo…

Hi, I want turn off lan lights like I can do on Banana Pi, see bpi_ledset link below: https://github.com/n1tehawk/bpi_ledset I have couple of these boards turned on and it is like live in Las Vegas when it is night. And second reason why I do not need these lights is I see network activity on switch, I do not need to see duplicity information on board and switch together. Is is possible to turn lan leds on Orange Pi boards?

According to FriendlyARM the soon available pcDuino4 Nano is a 100 percent compatible variant of NanoPi M1: http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/09/13/20-pcduino4-nano-is-yet-another-allwinner-h3-development-board-sort-of/#comment-531770 In case you want to run Armbian on your pcDuino4 Nano please choose the OS images for M1: http://www.armbian.com/nanopi-m1/ (the sole purpose of this thread is to feed our forum search and external search engines. No need to really discuss this hardware @Igor: As soon as the first user confirms Armbian works you could add IMO a download page similar to the one for Orange Pi+ 2 )

Is it possible open ttyUSB0 with 115200 baud rate but its work incorrect and getting error about incorrect baud rate, example after newline character I lose data

We provided this week experimental Armbian images with mainline kernel for a few H3 boards. On the official download pages there are a few variants with 4.6.7 lurking around and here you find some with 4.7.2: http://kaiser-edv.de/tmp/w8JAAY/ Those for the NEO are also suitable for NanoPi M1 and OPi One/Lite, the one for OPi PC Plus can be used on any of the larger Oranges (no Ethernet on +/+2/+2E -- don't ask please, this is stuff for later) since they all use the same more sophisticated voltage regulator being able to adjust VDD_CPUX in 20mW steps (VDD_CPUX is the voltage the CPU cores are fed with). The procedure is called dynamic voltage frequency scaling and the id…
