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…

Ever since I updated the BPi recently, the ramlogger stopped working. I'm regularly getting mail from the Cron Daemon saying this: /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs: 19: /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-truncate-logs: logrotate: not found … so, it looks like the paths are messed up since the program is definitely installed in `/usr/sbin/`.

Hello, I've been using a M4V2 since its release mostly as a NAS (disks over UBS 3.0). I also have it booting from a Samsung NVMe with the official NVMe hat. My setup works flawlessly however I was thinking about ways to add more storage with reasonable performance/price so I thought, what if I managed to add a standard PCIe x1 port from the pins on the board and use standard hardware with it. The idea was to add a cheap PCI switch + NVMe adapter (to boot from) and a PCI to SATA controller such as the following: 1) PCI Switch: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-Express-1X-to-4X-PCI-E-4-Ports-Switch-Multiplier-Expansion-Riser-Card-New/293564888…

I am struggling to make an external RTC work. "i2cdetect -y 7" reports that RTC at address 68 is alive. I have added in the following lines: echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-7/new_device hwclock -f /dev/rtc -s Could be a possible reason that hwclock is already linked with internal RTC? Is it possible that DS1307 is not recognised? If I do "modprobe ds-1307" I got the answer: "modprobe: FATAL: Module rtc-ds1307 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.3.11-rockchip64" Could this be the reason? The driver for ds-1307 doesn't exist? How can I get it? P.S. : The OS is Armbian Buster with Linu…

Looking in the forums for a few days and reading up on a lot of stuff, I got the zero to boot from spi and USB, fairly easy once you got the right commands, and replacing "linux-u-boot-next-orangepipc2_5.34_arm64" with the version on the image for the board. The I tried NFS shares and that worked fine to, but now I want to boot directly from another server, providing different folders for each board that I have and use spi for the boot. The reading the forum again to find out more about NFS booting, and mostly found this "hurray I got it to work" then kind of leaving the rest of us hanging there thinking HOW??? I was then reading about uboot and fo…

Hello all, My team and I are trying to use the ASUS Tinkerboard S (running Armbian Bionic v4.19.7, i.e. ubuntu bionic 18.04) as a platform to host a webapp, with a touchscreen as the user interface. We've successfully set up the Tinkerboard S to open chromium-browser in kiosk mode on startup using systemd, and a script that launches `chromium-browser --kiosk --app=server_url`. Our next step is to customize the boot process with the following changes: - none (or as few as possible) lines of text while the services are starting up - include a splash screen with our company logo, if possible Any advice on how to acc…

Not sure how much truth there is in this as I haven't had time to follow up on the sources, but interesting if true! http://www.open-electronics.org/the-raspberry-pi-3-gets-seriously-hot-clocking-up-to-100-c/

Last week I downloaded the checksum for armbian20.05.2_Orangepiplus2e_buster_current_5.4.43_desktop.img.xz and checked the checksum that came with the download. The .img checksum downloaded with the image and the checksum I ran were the same. When I check the online checksum here on armbian.com under downloads, sha, TODAY, the checksum is different. Is there any reason for me to believe that my original checksum and download may have been corrupted? I realize I can just re-download the image now, but whose to say that the one posted now is correct and not the previous one (while maybe both correct/fine)? I know that checksums can change over time,…

Firefox (not Chromium this time) is now crashing on me when I attempt to launch it on an Orange Pi PC+. Seems to be related to a new security update I think I got (55.0.1+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.2). Anyone else having this problem?

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? …

Edit: Issue is solved, see here. It's an application problem but according to an extensive Google research this does not seem to be a common problem of Samba, so it might be an integration problem with the environment it is running in. The setup: Armbian 19.11.6 (Debian Buster) running the current kernel on a NanoPi M4V2, offering network shares via Samba. Clients are Windows 10 and a BananaPi running Armbian (Debian Buster 4.19.y kernel) as well. The observation: When downloading (large) files from the Samba share to Windows 10, the download speed very often suddenly drops down to zero and stays on that rate (forever). This can be best…

Hey. I have a waveshare 4.3" 480x272 screen, that I'm trying to get to work with my orange pi zero +2, or nanopi M1 plus. However, I can't get the screen to show the right resolution - that only seems possible on my raspberry pi (which I don't want to use for this project). I've been running over all the (little) info I can find, and it seems to be a general problem to get hdmi working if the screen edid is a bit flaky - is this still the case, or is it possible to get this combination of opi/nanopi to work on this display? Regards. Anders

Hi All What is current working image for banana pi pro? Can't find any except one in archive (bookworm) which is not perfect.

Hello, I've been playing on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ with an I2S audio amplifier and could play music from it. Now I want to add more devices to experiment with multi-room systems. The only other system with I2S support I have here is a NanoPi NEO. It has dedicated I2S pins so that shouldn't be too complicated. I thought. But it doesn't work. 'aplay -l' says "no soundcards found" and 'speaker-test -c2' essentially says the same. 'armbian-config' doesn't have a switch to enable I2S, only SPDIF, which sounds plausible considering that the SPDIF pin is multipurpose while the I2S pins are not. A web search for several terms didn't bring up something useful.…

Apologies, the links on how to change the Armbian boot kernel don't lead to any documentation. I am wading through the u-boot documentation tree now, but somebody may have an answer to a simple question. I manage to make my device unbootable by using armbian-config and selecting a development kernel vmlinuz-4.20.0-rockchip64 I have mounted the disk on a ubuntu laptop and I take it u-boot is similar to grub2 in that its not just a case of changing the symlinks Image -> vmlinuz-4.4.167-rockchip64 Uinitrd -> uInitrd-4.4.167-rockchip64 you have to do a grub2-mkconfig command \ grub-update in order to boot strap t…

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.

Hi, I'm compiling a kernel (using 5.8.16-sunxi) for an H3 board that has the RTL8189es chip onboard. But the make fails due to a missing include file. It turns out that the makefile for this driver expects a "src" variable to be loaded with the path for the makefile. But I can't find any defining reference to this variable or any mention in the make documentation that it is an internal function. I've managed to fix this by setting src to srctree and the sub-path for this driver. But this seems very clumsy to me. Can somebody explain how "src" is meant to be loaded and why it's not happening for me ? Thanks, Steven

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)? I tried the following so far: apt-get install f2fs-tools define size of f2fs partition in compile.sh (eg. for a 4 GB SD card use »SDSIZE="3600"«) adjust »BOOTSIZE=16« in lib/configuration.sh (line 26) replace »mkfs.vfat -n "$IMAGEVOLUME"« with »mkfs.ext4 -q« in lib/deboostrap.sh (line 66) replace »mkfs.ext4 -q« with »mkfs.f2fs« in lib/deboostrap.sh (line 67) add »-tf2fs« to mount option in lib/deboostrap.sh (line 68) comment »shrinking_raw_image "$DEST/out…

I am trying to build an old debian stretch image for checking my BananaPi M3 boards. I had it and Jessie running fine for years, but buster is causing issues with soft boot and reboots failing. So wanted to check the boards integrity with stretch. I have tried git checkout -b v20.02 remotes/origin/v20.02 which I thought was around the right time but I am just getting Buster being offered. I am using Ububtu Jammy for building.

Hi, This is my first post on this forum. I'm using armbian for 5 years and I really appreciate the work of all the people who contributed to it.

Hi, i am using a tinkerboard s to run pihole, wireguard and a maria database. It worked quite a while without any issues. Just after I had to start over with the tinkerboard, the issues began. My main issue is, that after I restart the tinkerboard i do not get access right away to the internet. I have to open the pihole admin webpage first, just then I am able to get a normal internet connection. That works then without issues until another restart. I addressed my issue already in the pihole forum and the moderator suggested to ask here since in his opinion it might be an issue with the privacy extension of IPv6. I am honestly no expert and stru…

Always running latest Armbian Buster: Since some months multiple machines with totally different application sets get slow writing to ANY mounted volume after one or more weeks of uptime (the busier the earlier). According to top IOWAIT exceeds user/kernel cpu usage. All applications and networking incl. disk reads run without any problem, until they write to the disk which makes them crawl. Even cp on a small file hangs. Any hint?

Rock64. Running mosquitto. Running my python script for home automation, measures temps, does a bit of control and uses an SIM900 for SMS outside access with no IP address issues.

Hi, all: I wonder if there is a manual to DIRECTLY build Linux Kernel (Say, current version 5.0.9) against any board, as far as uname -a is known ? For instance, current Armbian for Banana Pi M3 is of the following uname -a value: sky@bananapim3:~/Downloads/sunxi$ uname -a Linux bananapim3 4.19.25-sunxi #5.78 SMP Mon Apr 8 07:46:22 CEST 2019 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux Anyway, I'm trying to test it out... Cheers Pei

apt upgrade updated the kernel of Banana pro, according to symlinks in /boot from Updated 4.9.0-7 to 4.9.0-8. Now I only get "Starting Linux", which means that output is send to serial console not tty from what I read. I read that I'd have edit uEnv.txt in order to solve the console issue and continue debugging the issue, but I cannot find this file anywhere on the partition. I tried to revert boot.scr but this did not change anything. I probably could revert to the old kernel by changing the symlinks as well, but I would rather like to use the new kernel....

Hi, I am using Nano Pi Duo2 (Allwinner H3) with latest Armbian OS. My goal is to have all the OS and Data on SD Card Encrypted. It should be secure from hacks. In Developer Guide, LUKS encrypted rootfs needs a key to unlock. In our case we want the device to unlock itself so key has to be stored on the Allwinner H3 securely. Has anybody implemented it on Allwinner H3 ? Is there alternative solution to secure the data on the device.

Greetings everyone. I have sucessfully used Armbian Bionic in a production environment. Its really great. I am now evaluating Armbian Buster and I am seeing a strange issue perhaps you can direct me where to look so I can do troubleshooting. With the board connected to our corporate network, it takes about 48 hours when the whole board (OrangePi+ 2E) will crash with the CPU burning up. The second time it happened I had htop running to try and diagnose the problem. Investigation revealed that rngd became unstable due to the nm-applet. This led me to re-running the known conditions when this happens, with the network disconnected and now it doesn't cras…

Hello kind folk. Hoping someone can help. What's listed below is what gone wrong. Armbian monitor diagnostics dump: http://ix.io/3yOY All I've done is install Armbian, did the 'apt update && apt upgrade' and enabled options to see how will it will work. I'm not sure if I have done something wrong for several DT overlays not to load. I can see it states that (what is an ftd?) base ftds are missing a node and need recompiling. How do I do that?

Hello all. A possible mission impossible challenge for someone who wishes to accept it and this message will not self-destruct in 10 seconds. :-) The LED1 (green) and LED2 (blue) on the BanabaPi Pro. How do I get them to show the watchdog heart beat and the MMC card usage? An out-of-date Rasbian Distro for the Lemaker BananaPi Pro had this feature this right-out-of-the-box, but at the moment on Armbian I've only got the steady red power LED. Is there a way to enable this functionality within Armbian?

Hello, I am wondering which board I should buy between thoses 2 : Orange Pi Plus 2E Allwinner H3 39$ (all in one) and ODROID-XU4 Exynos5422 80$+taxes(=~100$) I want a board that can deliver good transfert speed over the network to host files. So good bandwidth for network AND I/O for the hard drive. Plus I have a 4K TV so I would love to enjoy it (not sure 4k is supported by both cards) Obviously the XU4 is faster (and with usb3) but nearly twice the price so.. It has to to worth it. So, do you have some hints / numberses to show ? Best kernel support. Best co…

Hello fellow Armbian folk, I've been a happy armbian user for many years. Recently, I've been trying to upgrade to bookworm from bullseye on my cubietruck, however have been hampered by Hash Sum mismatch errors from multiple armbian mirrors. I have followed all instructions on clearing the /var/lib/apt/files, apt clean, but nothing seems to help. I've tried multiple armbian mirrors with no luck. So now I'm seeking some community support.

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've just installed Armbian on my OPi3-lts and I'm trying to get the IR remote working (the iDroid included in the kit from aliexpress). I've followed this guide (from "Second attempt" on), using only the kernel driver without intalling lirc. Found out the protocol (nec), wrote the rc_keymap file mapping the key codes to the button names and everything seems to work fine, down to the last command (sudo ir-keytable -v -t -p nec), which correctly gives me the codes and the button names associated with them. Now, the guide says it's all and I should be able to use the remote as I use my keyboard, but... the desktop and the apps seem not to be aw…

I have owned numerous Raspberry Pi boards over the years, and I have always have ran Kodi on one of them. For years I have been wanting to upgrade my RPi 3 as it cannot play any of my H.265/HEVC videos. With all the shortages, and how old the Raspberry Pi 4 is getting, I made a rather spontaneous purchase for this Orange Pi 4 LTS board. Getting it all setup is easy enough, but of course, the video (even with H.264!) nearly maxes all 6 cores and the video is chunky as it's just doing everything without any video acceleration. Even navigating the menu seems slow and delayed. I have been scouring these forums and other sources for about 12 hours now, and I am sti…

Hi! I'm testing some orange pi device for use it on my projects as a substitute for raspberrypi. I need a device with OS installed on emmc. I have not had good experiences with microsd on raspberrypi due to data corruption. I thought that orangepi device with emmc flash was a good option. However I'm realizing that it is not as compatible as I thought. Make the spi display and spi smart reader work I think that's crazy. For this reason I ask you the following: Whitch device is most compatible with raspberry pi at gpios level? If had emmc or something more robust then microsd it would be better. thanks in advence

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.

I am attempting to format and mount a 256GB MicroSD as an external USB device on an OPZ. Formatting in EXT4 consistently throws errors but using FAT32 or VFAT works fine with the inherent limitations of those file systems of permissions and 4GB file size.

When attempting to install the exfat apps I get the following error: __ apt update (OK) apt-get install exfat-fuse (OK) apt-get install exfat-utils (fails) Package exfat-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package.

I have a unique hardware setup with an ARMv8 architecture but a 32-bit 'armeabi-v7a' ABI. My goal is to install a 64-bit operating Ambian (or others, even a 64 bit Android Go if possible) system on this hardware, replacing the existing 32-bit setup. The device is a kids tablet ZIDS701 by Trayoo. The current OS is Android Go 10 32-bit. I'm kind of a newbie to firmware, so I'm reaching out to the knowledgeable members of this community for guidance and assistance in achieving this. I'm particularly interested in recommendations for a 64-bit OS that would be compatible with this setup and any steps or considerations I should be aware of during the installation process. …

Breaking the ice here. So hello everyone. I am still entry into SBCs and have been loving every moment of it. I started with the Raspberry PI 3B, and have recently been playing with the new Asus Tinkerboard. One of my SBC projects is to build a little media streaming device for some dumb monitors with HDMi input I have lying around. The Tinkerboard was very appealing to me because of its gigabit Ethernet, I thought it would make a much better quality internet streaming device. We seem to be lacking a browser for ARMh7 that can support Netflix and other like services playback. chromium is missing the needed WideVine plugin, and I have yet to find a …
