There are 2 settings for you to tweak: update every, which controls the data collection frequency history, which controls the size of the database in RAM By default update every = 1 and history = 3600. This gives you an hour of data with per second updates. If you set update every = 2 and hist…

Hi, in addition to some research regarding a few quality SD cards I wanted to ask our users to contribute to some collective benchmarking. In case you bought Samsung, SanDisk, Toshiba or Transcend SD cards within the last few months, have a A20 device and are able to test the card in question, please use this A20 Armbian 5.07 image (vanilla kernel, performance governor, no user creation), burn the image on the card, connect board to network, start it and do the following at least twice iozone -e -I -a -s 100M -r 4k -r 16k -r 512k -r 1024k -r 16384k -i 0 -i 1 -i 2 Please be aware that some cards seem to need some time for auto calibration when being first used s…

Somehow I don't get it. If I boot Armbian it never has a verbose startup. I I check the script it looks like at startup there should be a /boot/.verbose file. There is.... I don't see a env variable to get this done... So I need some help. Could anyone tell me how to get this done?

For any one interested in software defined radio the OrangePi.pc and Armbian 5.05 software is a killer combination. The extra horsepower of the Allwinner H3 quad core and the clean Armbian Linux implementation give you a great platform for Software defined Radio. The $10 low cost RTL2838 dongle has an enormous amount to offer. But plugging it into a big computer laptop is not always practical It is often better to put the RTL2838 dongle as close to the antenna as possible. This could mean a long USB cable and voltage drop issues. So now you can buy a $9.99 Orange Pi.one and use it as a RTL to ethernet/ opt.wifi extender. You "just" Plug the RTL2838…

I am thinking about the Over-scan on first boot issue and the problems people are having trying to log in if the login questions are off the screen bottom. I under stand it is caused by not having a lot of development into the screen size adjusting software. It is essential that the lead developers prioritize the main Armbian bugs issues and I do not consider on the fly screen resizing a major issue when a stop gap solution could possibly work. My temporary solution would simply be that all logins scripts be tripled. ie.. Login login login: password password password: Enter New Password Enter New Password Enter New Password: S…

If you are reading this you've probably discovered that there are a few things about the Orange Pi series of boards that can be frustrating. I know I have been.. I purchased an Orange Pi PC and two Orange Pi Ones anticipating Pi bliss at a fraction of the cost of the Raspberry equivalent. I tried, and tried hard, to load distro after distro of various linux flavors onto micro SD cards with many a blank screen or an aborted boot attempt.. Orange Pi site distros, laboris distros, Armbian distros.. nothing seemed to make a difference. Reading about power supply issues, ornery boot processes, and overscan issues I was really beginning to think this was m…

Hi, In december, I was able to install a working system to nand (boot from nand, system on sata), but didn't have the nessery time to finish the configuration. Today I rebooted my cubietruck for the first time since then, and tried updating all the installed packages with 'apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade'. One of the updates (an important one, see below) failed with the following error: and: Confident as I am, I rebooted the device. Unfortunately, it does not come up as expected. I still have the SD-card used for the install in december (and can boot the cubietruck with it), so I could start from scratch again. But may be there is somet…

Hello, when initially trying to set up a Router using tidos tutorial with the latest armbian version i miserably failed on the hostapd part. After some fiddling around, I decided to check /proc/net/dev and found out that the WLAN card was linked to wlan1 instead of wlan0 After changing both the interface and the hostapd.conf I still can't seem to get hostapd to working with the error: Failed to initialize interface Currently I'm using the driver from https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixesand my hostapd.conf file is attached. Is there any problem with my hostapd.conf or is the device used somewhere else? Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

When WLAN didn't work on OPI PC, I could connect OPI to x86 PC via Ethernet and X86 PC to WLAN.

Hi, When I format my hard drive and I want to make partitions, just / for the system and Swap partition, Gparted only allows me to make one, saying I only can make one primary partition, so I make one for / (in this step extended and logical options are disabled) Then I want to use the free space for swap and all options are disabled, not even logical or extended partition options. and from the beginning I only can chose logical partition because extended is disabled. So it looks Gparted only allows me to use the entire disk as logical partition. If I use another app in windows to make those partitions then in linux Gparted says there is one error and it can't …

It's important to believe blindly in numbers! At least when you try to be mislead as much as possible! Yesterday Michael Larabel from Phoronix fired up his usual set of passive benchmarking tests for the new Raspberry Pi 3 and he still uses rather questionable results for other boards to compare with (he claims that it would be sufficient to use a board with 'factory settings', run a set of synthetic benchmarks, don't analyse the results or even think about whether they could be wrong and treat the results as the truth) RPi 3 is 4 times faster than OPi PC and 6 times faster than OPi Plus? Really? If you just try to think about these graphs for a second it…

Hi. I'm using CubieTruck with Armbian Jessie, attached with a Sata disk. I have tried these method to run hdparm when the system reboots, but none of them was successful. /etc/hdparm.conf /etc/udev/rules.d/50-hdparm.rules /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/hdparm_set Finally, I chose the /etc/rc.local file, and add the hdparm command. hdparm -B 127 -S 242 /dev/sda However, it is not working always. I rebooted several times, and check the APM status with 'hdparm -B /dev/sda', the results vary. Sometimes it shows APM_level = not supported, but some other times APM_level = 127, as I specified. I don't know what was wrong about the command. ** I've found out that hddtemp(…

I have been running the 5.03 image provided, and it works amazingly, many thanks to igorpec and tkaiser. Now that the 5.04 image is ready, is there an easy way (via ssh?) to update my system? Obviously I could copy the image to an sd card and run it that way, but the system is running so well (on external hard drive and running plex server) that I'm reluctant to upset it all. Many thanks

Hi. I'm using Armbian Jessie(Legacy) on Cubietruck. My cubietruck's cpu temp. is aruond 77~79. Is it too hot? If it is, how can I lower the temperature? One more thing to ask. How can I see the temperature? I could see it when I log in to Armbian, but how can I do it manually? Could this be one of the method? cat /sys/devices/platform/sunxi-i2c.0/i2c-0/0-0034/temp1_input Thank you for reading.

First off, awesome job on all the Orange PI images. I have only had chance to try the Orange PI 2 image so far There are small issues I can find ,I don't know if their known: I cannot set resolution at all, its stuck on some low one.

And finally a tiny …

EDIT: All of the below written stuff is outdated and not recommended to run on any Armbian installation anyway. Simply use Armbian with default settings and you're done. In case you want to adjust settings, search the forum for 'h3consumption' utility. EDIT: Please be aware that it seems voltage switching on the various Orange Pi One boards seems to have some tolerances. A user reported his Orange Pi One crashes randomly when staying on the lower voltage with the new fex settings so unless it's confirmed which voltages are really used or how to measure the real voltage the proposed fix here might lead to undervoltage/stability issues on some boards. …

I would kindly like to ask you to enable the intermediate functional block, ifb, as a module in the default kernel config for the BPI-R1 CONFIG_IFB=m It should not hurt anyone as it is just a module. The ifb network device is quite useful when doing experiments with tc (trafficx control), and it is absolutely necessary when you want to affect incoming traffic (normal tc netem works only on outgoing packets) Thank you.

Hi, as I am testing ARMBian (Vanilla Kernel) and also testing to set up a reliable Seafile server on my banana Pi, I would like to hear some opinions from the Pro's here (Igor, tkaiser, zador.blood.stained) I'm thinking of choosing btrfs for my data SSD hooked on SATA port and here I am not sure about following questions: * Trim support * performance compared to ext4 writing reading especially smaller chunks (seafile makes chunks out of big files) * reliability? I can hardly find any info regarding "ARMBian and btrfs" * Current drawbacks? May be btrfs is not the right choice for servers like Seafile? * Is btrfs good for SSD? May be it has more indirect write …

Hello I just started using Armbian to try to salvage a Banana PI M2 that I had given up on more or less due to bad system images and lack of support from the maker.

I was using bananian for the last year(and I still do) on a M1 for a operational running webservice. Is it worth the time to switch to armbian? Are there any big differences?

Hello Igor, your Image resizes itself upon boot to full SD card size. Is it possible to reenable this process again? I know I simply could resize with GParted or similar tools. But I'd rather reuse it the way your image did on first boot. Thank you.

Hey, I basically need the LXC Kernel modul for the lxccu homematic software. Is this already included in the newer kernel drivers for the available debian or do I need armbian? I'm not 100% sure what the differences for armbian and debian are? Could someone explain that to me? thx! Cheers Btw: Is the Allwinner R8(m) also supported? I'm just starting to build up the community for the $9 computer CHIP which uses this processor. Would be great to have some more ways in building kernels. I really need to config my own kernel there to included touch screen drivers. Is this possible with the armbian too?

Here is another unsolved problem for me: I can only get my USB Stick to work if i plug it to to the onboard USB. If i use an USB-Hub ( tried different ones) it is not possible.

hi, I plan to turn my cubietruck IR gateway, and home theater controller. The first thing to do is to be able to decode any remote control can be used with lircmd. But when I use irrecord IRW returns do anything with some remote and works with the other. While in leaving the base configuration (infrared keyboard) there is always something to send. The sunxi ir-limited driver there are thee? The second point is to emit infrared to control my devices and there is little information that is partt LIRC_GPIO seems you abandoned. I watch the IR driver in the mainline kernel and I find that it is very different. I wonder if it would not be helpful to bnackport in lega…

Hello, Today i decided to install Debian Jessie (Vanilla) in my Cubietruck, boot was fine until the login. I can write the login (letters and numbers) but in the password field the keyboard doesn't work anymore, any help? Thanks

Hi guys, "dmesg" command sometimes shows "br0: received packet on eth0 with own address as source address". Can it be some sign of serious problem or should I ignore it?

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?

May someone has a hint why i have following entries in /var/log/syslog ?

Hello, I own OrangePI board and want to repurpose it as mediacenter and computer conected to TV however multimediacenter distributions as OSMC, OpenELEC dont support OrangePi, so i decided to use ubuntu desktop enviroment from ARMBIAN according to download page it should support some level of HW acceleration for video playback So my question is - would I be able to install KODI (formerly XBMC) and use it on ubutnu desktop enviroment with working video acceleration within KODI (similar to RaspberryPi and OSMC or OpenELEC) ?? Or is there any other way to use KODI on OrangePi ? Maybe on android designed for OrangePi ? Tkanks for answers

Hello, I have a cubieboard (first one), and i used it with VGA output, by changing script.bin values. Now i installed armbian with vanilla kernel, and realized that i can't use script.bin anymore (since its using device tree blobs). Does anyone know what do i need to change in dtb file to get a working VGA out ? or is there some kernel parameter to override dtb values ? Thanks PS thanks for the great work Igor!

Hi All, I just want to ask what is the format of rootfs after writing it to nand? it is in ubifs? Thanks

I just want to know how to boot from SD card again after setting boot from nand (./nand-sata-install) on my cubieboard. I got a "Reset board" message. Thanks.

i just saw the new netinstall for raspbian - works like a charm and can be configured to produce a customized version. very small file to write to sd. could something similar be done for armbian? thanks a lot! andrew

Hi, First of all: Thank you for all the great work that you're doing, Igor! I really appreciate it. I think about buying a PCDuino3 Nano board and I'd like to install your Debian Jessie Vanilla kernel image on it. However, the current download page states that NAND support is not implemented yet. Can you tell (approximately) how soon it will be supported? Or are there other ways to install the image to the NAND flash? Thank you in advance!

Hi, first of all, a great compliment to the makers of armbian, really good job you're doing! I installed legacy ubuntu trusty for pcsuino3-nano on my pcduino3 (not nano) and everything works fine. First i tried the vanilla version, but i could not manage to get UART2 (ttyS1) to work, so i switched back to legacy where everything with UART2 works properly. Maybe someone knows how to get ttyS1 working with the vanilla kernel on pcduino3 with that image provided. But I'm happy with legacy kernel for now. Now to the question, what i like better with vanilla is, that there's no preinstalled desktop-environment. I am using the pcduino3 headless as embedded d…

Hi guys, Using Debian Jessie/armbian 4.5 here. Was today using tcpdump, tested out also tshark, and aparently the BPF rules are not working... (?) Is it just me, some kernel compiling, a bug, or am I missing something? I know for sure that in a very similar setup I have at work in Intel, I do not have this problem. This issue is present both with libpcap 1.7.4-1 and 1.6.2-2 As an example: rui@ruir:/etc$ sudo tcpdump -n not port 22 | egrep "22[ :]" tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes 14:50:34.559080 IP xx.xxx.254.104.22 > xxx.xxx.xxx.2.…

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.

Hello Igor, I want to put my own stuff inside motd. I'm not sure which scripts are responsible. In /var/run/motd.dynamic there is your banana text, but this is dinamically changing. how is the best approach to exchange the motd on your distros? Regards José

Hi, is it possible to connect to open wifi network from debian wheezy on my Cubietruck? Tried many ways, googled a lot, have no solution. Wpa2 networks works great, but not open wifi. Please help!

Hello. I try enable 1wire on Cibieboard 2. Could anyone describe to me how to do it? Where is kernel source on debian jesssie on Armbian for CB2

I cannot understand how the drivers (dtb) could be choosen properly for banana pi pro.

I thought it would be in .bashrc - but nothing there a not even in sshd_config pls can you tell me how you put it there, how to change it or at least remove the ORANGE ascii art (I love the banner, but not fan of ASCII) thank you very much

Hello Igor, I am using vanilla 4.4 for labomo-r1 it seems zram module is missing. Do you intend to compile the kernel with this option, please? gr@bpi:~$ sudo modprobe -Rf zram modprobe: FATAL: Module zram not found. On raspbian, kernel 3.18.x-4.1.x, there is a kernel module "zram" useful for embedded systems... working fine (also using on my x86 laptop) https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Zram Nice week-end, Regards, Guillaume

Hi, I just upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4 using apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. Unfortunately the device is headless and I don't have a monitor. I cannot login over SSH any more, I get asked for password, but after entering the connection timeouts.

I am new (very new) to Linux and I am using a Hummingboard configured wit Igor package (that may not be the way you call that) and trying to upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie following Armbian documentation.

Hello. Sorry for my English, I use google-translate. Maybe someone already has experience and uses script / program to create a backup SD card entirely in the form of an image on an external storage (HDD, USB-flash), or over the network? I am at the moment once a week turn off the system (I have a banana pi), remove the SD card and make a copy of the system image (using imagewriter.exe). I want to automate the process, and without removing the SD card from the board. It's real? Many thanks!

Hi all, is anyone running Debian Jessie on a Bananapi? I'd like to upgrade from debian wheezy to Jessie, but I am afraid of a performance degrade due to the fact that ramlog is not available for Jessie. Since linux tends to write a lot of things to its logs, do you know wether Jessie performs worse, better or the same as Wheezy on Bananapi? I use my board as a proxy, router and web server...

I have installed Debian desktop wheezy on cubox-i and all is ok. After boot I am logged as root on XFCE desktop, I have create a normal user and I want user cubox as normal user, but if I logout the system does not show the login window but return on the root desktop. How can activate login window to change to normal users ? Thanks Alberto

Hello, as i didn't found a perfect UI for my cubie and me and i always liked the look and feel of crunchbang, i developed a little script in the past to bring #! to my cubietruck. It should also work on every other debian based image, but i mainly targeted igor's image since it seemed to be the best base to start from. NOTICE: crunchbang has EOL-status, no updates coming from them! I mainly use it even though, because its very fast and stable on my cubie. This script could be injected into building process or can be run on a fresh 'install'. Just use the get_crunchy.sh script and relax or download the image from second post. It's tested on debian jessie and wheezy…

Hi, In order to secure my BPi-R1 I want to install a firewall on top of armbian. So please, no tipps for complete 'firewall distribution like IPcop, IPfire'. So I thought about, what is necessary to protect 'my cloud', which may be not the first interest for a hacker. My test candidates: Open Edgewize Shorewall ConfigServer Security & Firewall (csf) iptables (do it on your own) I collected some information of their functions, but I don't know what is crucial. Application Layer Filtering Just managing your network by port numbers and ip addresses is no longer sufficient. With the growing levels of web use, and http based applications, deep packet inspecti…

Hi there First of all thanks a lot for your images. Currently I am trying to setup my R1 as wifi access point using the image Lamobo-r1_Debian_3.2_jessie_4.1.2 The out of the box hostapd let me connect successfully from my wireless devices. After some time, one hour or so, the connection starts dropping and reconnecting up to a point that I cannot connect at all. BTW, I could not get hostapd working stable with Bananian and self compiled drivers as well. Symptoms were similar. I am also not using any harddisk or USB devices. I also used a second R1 and have the same problems. Does anyone have the same sy…

What to do to switch from ext4 to F2FS (one big caveat: Partition/filesystem resizing doesn't work with F2FS so this is only for you if you know the size of your SD card prior to building the image)?

Hi, I was looking for ways how to speed up CPU for faster ethernet transfers and speed it down when idle. I would also like to control voltage. I know that in mainline kernel you can edit this file arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20.dtsi and configure it yourself. 1)I would like to know where (if) you can control voltage somewhere for 3.4 kernel. I was unable to found any info. 2) in /boot/script.bin i found out parameter "dram_clk", I assume that you can change freq of RAM here. Somewhere I read (I think form tkaiser) that you can add 48MHz steps to CPU/memory. Why exactly 48MHz? That is very interesting for me. Some clock source/timer works in 48 MHz? …
