Hi, New to this forum. Hope someone can please assist. I recently purchased a tiny 5" display UMPC device. See instagram/puterpi for photos. There's also YouTube video of it in action by maker too. I installed Armbian image: http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/bpi-m2-zero-new-image-2017-12-04-armbian-5-36-m2-zero-ubuntu-xenial-next-4-14-3-desktop-preview-buildbybpi/4325 Overall, works great. However, I periodically get the following error message at boot up in console and device will not boot up. Only fix I have now is to res-install image file. missing environment variable: boot file Retrieving…

Hi all, Semi-noob here so please be patient :) With the OPi Zero having rubbish WiFi I added a USB WiFi adaptor. I know it works as I've been using it on my OPi One running Retrorangepi. The Zero will be running OctoPrint in a room too far away from the router to run Ethernet cables. To initially set it up I connected the Zero to my router, logged in and disabled the onboard wireless adaptor, plugged in the USB and rebooted. Ran armbian-config and set up a static IP (192.168.1.30). Then I shutdown the Zero and unplugged the Ethernet cable and powered up the Zero again. Lan scan shows the IP address as up but ping shows 100% …

I realize the A10-OlinuXino-Lime has been EOL for Armbian for some time now; however, I am curious if kernel support for GPIO functionality is available on the latest available for Armbian Xenial (kernel 3.4). If it is a mainline kernel this may explain why the GPIOs are not available for use.

I successfully installed the rtl-sdr and Gqrx on a pine a64 with Armbian, it works perfectly Now I want to make an IMSI catcher (just beacons with gr-gsm), which I did on another ubuntu device. I first had problems with pip and then changed the export path. Now this works but I have problems installing PyBombs: sudo pip install PyBOMBS I get: Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-install-FNJDtY/ruamel.ordereddict/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-record-QjKLMX/install-record.txt --sing…

Hi all, I have a OrangePi R1 and want to enable SPI in U-Boot to talk to connected leds. The leds are connected to SPI0 on the pins: 19 (MOSI), 4 (5v) and 6 (GND) . I enabled the CONFIG_SUN4I_SPI flag to enable the sunxi SPI driver. I also added the following lines to `arch/arm/dts/sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dts` to enable both SPI0 and SPI1. &spi0 { status = "okay"; flash@0 { compatible = "mxicy,mx25l12805d", "jedec,spi-nor"; }; }; &spi1 { status = "okay"; }; To control the leds I added a call to the following function inside the `board_init()` function inside: `/board/sunxi/board.c`. static int set_leds() { int bus …

I need to connect an HDMI or DVI monitor (with adapter HDMI to DVI) to an Orange Pi (PC Plus or Plus 2) while the Orange Pi is already running but all I get is a pink screen. How can I configure Armbian to be able to hot plug a monitor? If the monitor is already plugged when powering the Orange Pi there is no problem.

Hello, Someone up for this? I am trying my best to extend the PPS device tree overlay in order to support additional capabilities of the PPS kernel driver. In particukar, I want to have the "echo" pin working. (The echo pin is supposed to be an output that makes it possible to measure the latency between the pps pulse and the actual kernel timestamp). I have (tried my best) to modify the existing overlay as follows (the PD14 pin in the overlay is modified by the fixup script to be PA6): /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3"; fragment@0 { target = <&pio>; __ove…

I am digging in my orangipi board (OPi Zero H2+) again, and have come across some questions relating to device tree overlay. Eventually, aim is to activate a hardware component of my board, and I think I have the right option found. Problems are currently with compiling and applying the overlay. From the basics upwards: 1. Is there a way to know which overlay (of the many listed in /boot/dtb/*) is actually used during boot process? For example, I know I have a board with a H2+ soc, but my armbianEnv.txt says "overlay_prefix=sun8i-h3". In any case, even this prefix cannot be the full information, since in /boot/dtb/ there are overlays fo…

Hello, I am wondering about the support of kernel-updates for the hardkernel SBCs like N2/N2+, C4 oder HC1/2. The current available kernels are pretty outdated and on level 5.10.81 or 5.4.160. Will there be soon new kernels available especially, as we are now facing the Dirty pipe exploit? Thanks! regards, Udo

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…

Hi all, Despite I'm not using Armbian but Gentoo on my BananaPI, I hope I'll found some help on this forum as other BananaPI's related forum are sleeping and as many of my previous contact on LeMaker forum are now here I'm migrating my BananaPIes from Sunxi's 3.4.103 to mainline kernel, 4.1.00, and I have several questions mostly related to DTS.

Hi, i've had armbian running on banana pi m1 and orange pi zero. Seems like selecting any application softy list does not seem to be installing anything on both devices. Am I missing something here? I used both of these commands by the way: sudo armbian-config armbian-config

The latest image uses kernel sunxi64 5.4.45 but this doesn't install with apt on my older image, and there is no release for this new version available under https://apt.armbian.com/pool/main/l .

Hi, I have a OLED display on OrangePi Zero H5. OLED is SSD1306 (128 x 64 pixel) and is detected with i2c scan. I used this library: https://github.com/codelectron/ssd1306 and it was working just fine. However, after some time (it is possible that it was after some update) OLED display stopped working - it is showing just random pixels. I checked soldering (it is OK), even replaced OLED with another one, but no luck.

I have an Orange pi 5 (could not find this in the tags list). I have created the Armbian micro sd card successfully I believe. However when I run this I get a long list of command line entries. I complete the enter password/user name entries then I end up at the following command root@orangepi5~# Then everything stops, no desktop just this command. Is it possible to get to the desktop by typing something into this command. As I understand it you should get one single chance to get to the desktop on first run, I apparently have not got this one chance. I believe I am trapped in the command line with no way at all to escape to the desktop. I will be polite and say I find t…

I am having trouble installing Armbian on the NVMe drive Orange Pi 5 plus. I tried sudo armbian-install But it will never list the nvme drive there. lsblk clearly can see the drive as is seen in the image bellow? Does anyone have any idea how I am supposed to do this. Thanks

I just created this account. During the account creation process there was a part where I had to click a checkbox saying that I agree to the forum rules & policies. But I didn't see a link to actually read the policies (I'm usually impatient about these things, I may have missed something obvious). Now, after the fact, I've spent more time looking, and I can't find the forum rules / policies. Is there a post or webpage somewhere detailing what they are?

Hi. I am running OpenVPN, Samba and Plex with Armbian on my rockpis. I want to make a docker image from it. I am new to docker and I searched and found that I could make an image from Docker file or commiting in a container. I thought that commiting in container was easier for me. So I downloaded "twhtanghk/armbian" in docker hub and ran it. #docker container run -it twhtanghk/armbian bash But when I hit "#ls -ls /dev" in the container, it show different result with my rockpis' Armbian. So I am reluctant to start to install those. Is it ok to install OpenVPN, Samba and Plex with the image? Or which docker image should use? …

I like(*) to connect to the micro-USB port of my OrangePi Zero (H2+) a USB peripheral device, so the port at the OPi must act as host. I have activated the port in armbian-config. Then, following forum posts such as [1], I switched the dr_mode in the port's device tree section to "host". (Decompile, edit, compile, then placed the resulting .dtb file to /boot/dtb-.../, then rebooted.) Nevertheless, the port does not seem to work as host, at least no device is detected in dmesg when plugging the stick in at the port. (same with lsusb) I have tested the stick itself in another hardware setting, and the cabling near the OPi's micro-USB port in so…

Hi everyone, I'm new to creating my own images and I'm learning this just because I'm interested in it. I am trying to build ubuntu 24.04 for my rpi3b using the build configuration for rpi4b.

Hello guys, I have a NOVAsom M7+ board with a RTL8723bs module with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth integrated. The Wi-Fi works normally and without problems, however the Bluetooth isn't detected at all. When I try to open the Bluetooth Manager app gives me this error: "Connection to BlueZ failed. BlueZ daemon is not running. blueman-manager cannot continue. This probably means that there were no Bluetooth adapters detected or Bluetooth daemon was not started".

Having downloaded the Armbian OS for my Cubox-i, I am using Gparted on MXLinux to prepare my 32Gb microUSB card for installing the extracted image. My initial problem is that I have to select the partition table type to install, from a list with msdos being the default. Is msdos the correct type or should I use one of the others offered (sun, gpt, bsd, dvh, aix, loop, pc98, amiga, atari, mac) Once that is done, what filesystem should I use to create the new partition as there are so many choices available. I appreciate any help you can provide to get me going. Thanks Ashdown

Hi I was trying to setup my RK3328 based A5X Max tv box running armbian ( a fairly recent version 4.4.154 based) as an access point. Yesterday I tried the armbian-config option, and it downloaded/setup things and the access point worked. Because I only need it as an access point sometimes, I went back through armbian-config and turned it off. Today I tried to go through armbian-config and start an access point again, and I see the access point option has disappeared from Networking in armbian-config. !!! Has something changed recently? I might have done a update/upgrade in between. Or does armbian-config just set it up, …

In the manual it is mentioned, that the iMX6 has 2 boot-modes. The recovery-mode can be configured by switching some pin to a high-level. On the PCB I can not find any jumper, that allows me to do so. Question: Does anybody know how to switch the Compulab Utilite Pro to the recovery-mode? Thanks in advance

I am building a custom image for rpi4b and everything works great so far. I only want to customize the installed packets and configuration, but I do not need a custom kernel. Since building the kernel is what takes by a wide margin most of the image generation time, I was wondering if there's a way to build the image without building the kernel (using the one from the official builds). I have browsed the documentation and found no way, so maybe it is not supported and building the kernel is mandatory?

I have connected matrix led display on max7219 by spi to orangepi. Module max7219 have power supply from 5v. On some during a 220v power failure (sparking between wires suspended on poles), there were some disruptions in the 5v power supply. This damaged the max7219 modules and possible spi port on orange pi. After this failure, the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file contained a fragment of the logrotate file, the kernel on the orange pi is unable to initialize the spi port despite no wires being connected. After connecting a working orange pi to the max7219 module, the problem with spi initialization also appears. Dmesg does not show anything related to spi, there is no /dev…

Is it possible to install armbian to EMMC? Is the Fat32 partition still necessary?

Hi all I need to develop a customized application on the OrangePi that uses this Allwinner H3 chip. So everything about this is the standard Armbian, with one change- I need to add security code into the loader to secure the board Prior to this I have only ever developed superloop C code on processors such as these i.e. no OS present. In those cases we had the development tools from the vendor or a JTAG probe. What I need to do is I need to customize the loader code to do certain security tasks. My question is, where is this loader sitting? (presumably its in the FLASH), and, is its source part of this distribution? Also, when they ma…

Hi, i dont know how to automaticly run kodi after boot. I used: rc.local: Spoiler /home/vlad/autorun chmod +x /home/vlad/autorun sudoers: Spoiler vlad ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/vlad/autorun vlad ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/kodi autorun: Spoiler sudo /usr/bin/kodi But kodi doesnt run after desktop is loaded. Maybe i missed some params?

Hi, Have a problem with Orange Pi Zero on Armbian Mainline kernel . It's based on Debian 9. It's Linux orangepizero 4.14.14-sunxi .

I have a Pine64 A64+ (2GB RAM version) with Armbian 5.75 installed. After creating the SD card image networking works perfectly, but then after a few days it just stop connecting to the Wi-Fi network. Troubleshooting Wi-Fi: I can see the APs in the GUI and also using the armbian-config tool. When using armbian-config: Network -> Select default interface = wlan0 -> WiFi -> I select my home Wifi and press Return key : it says `Connecting...` then after about 30 seconds: `Could not activate connection: Activation failed: The Wi-Fi network could not be found` Troubleshooting Wired connection: …

Hello Everybody: I'm having problems to create and save a new partition to eMMC on BPI M2Ultra board. As you can see on the attachd image below, the fdisk -l command, list the mmcblk1 with the right size (7.3 GB), them, i start creating a new partition (n command) and writing the partition table (w command), but once created the new partition never gets to the disk, and a new fdisk -l command shows the disk like it was before. Of course, whithout a partition i can not format the eMMC and can not use nand-sata-install. This doesn't happen with bananapi original images as there was no issue to create the partition and save it to the disk …

Orange Pi PC+ I have been using an image generated in 2019 (based on Debian 9) to develop code for a project. On the development machine it works well. I moved it to a machine running a custom Armbian build (simply having removed drivers that weren't necessary - sound etc. - and requiring that u-boot not search USB devices before starting the kernel) that was based on the same version (reported as Debian 9). It worked as expected. No probalme there then. Yesterday I rebuilt the Armbian image (now based on Debian 9.12), loaded it on to the client machine and went to run the software. I now get the error; "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 224: …

Hello everyone. I'm trying to configure wifi on my orange pi zero based on armbian buster. I planed to work in two wifi modes - client mode and access point mode. Wpa_supplicant allows me to register several networks in one configuration file, one of the networks can be with the option mode = 2, which means an access point. Then if during scanning wpa_supplicant does not find available points for connection, its own access point is created (which with mode=2 in conf file). I have problems with connecting other clients to this access point (it sees, but always reconnect). dnsmasq works as dhcp server as service, but i try to connecnt with static Ip on client too - no resul…

I started debian buster up and it started running through the black screen with non-graphics (doing this, doing that), then it got to ARMBIAN DEBIAN TTY1: login ... password. Is there a default login and password for this? If not, then there is something wrong with my download though I checked to make sure it was debian for orangepiplus2e desktop, and it is. This iso worked in the past and i have it saved on my ext hdd. UPDATE: I checked the checksum that I created with the checksum document that downloaded with the .img, and they are the same. I used "cp filename.img /dev/sdx" to copy the img to an microsd using a media c…

Hello I am trying to build a driver for a PineCube. The driver is Cedar_Ve.ko. Unfortnately I'm running in to problems either building the driver or deploying it. I have tried 3 approaches, but not work. 1) I downloaded the source for the kerenl 5.10.6 which I'm using from here: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/pool/main/l/linux-source-5.10.60-current-sunxi/ and built it using the following commands: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sunxi_defconfig make LOCALVERSION="-sunxi" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage modules dtbs I then cloned the source for the Cedar driver from here https://github.com/uboborov/sunxi-…

Two days ago I was able to build a minimal server installation of Bullseye Armbian for this board with no problems. My sd card crashed and I built the img file in tmp on a VM machine, so no backup (I know, live and learn). Last night I tried building this img again, minimal server, desktop and all the bells and whistles, but it keeps failing.

Has anyone gotten this display to work in Armbian? I'm on a Rock Pi 4b and its getting power but I can't get any kind of display out of it over the MIPI cable. I can't find any kind of documentation for how to do this, just vague discussions of overlays - I did try the rock pi raspberry pi display overlay and it doesn't work. Thanks.

Dear Members, I want to play around with docker on my NanoPI R4S, and while doing that I don't want to kill my micro SD card. For this reason I connected a USB SSD, formatted it with ext4 and mounted it onto /data. Now, I want /var to use /data/var as a bind mount, in order to lessen the burden on the SD card the system is running on. What is the right way to achieve this with Armbian? Thanks! Janos

I just wrote the Armbian Ubuntu Jammy Desktop image to an SD HC card and booted up fine with it (although I can only boot if I disconnect the HDMI cable -- when boot up is finished, I can plug it in and use the desktop. That's another story, but I have the same issue with official NanoPi Ubuntu images. Next, I transferred the Armbian OS to the eMMC and indicated that I wanted both the boot and system to be on the eMMC. After transferring the rootfs and getting the Power Off prompt, I powered off, then removed the SD HC card, then attempted to boot. However, when I tried to power on again, the NanoPi went into a reboot loop. Armbian will not boot without t…

Hello everyone Now I have finished compiling armbian once and want to check and change the device tree of uboot, but I don't know where to download it, only see the kernel source code in cache/source, so I want to ask

for the past few days i have been trying to set up a samba server but without any luck. my main problem is that after installing and setting up everything i try to connect to the ip of the server (just by typing \\server-ip\ in the explorer path) using a win 10 machine and it doesnt even prompt me to log in using credentials, it just says that is impossible to connect to the server, even tough im connecting trough ssh. I just wiped the machine and installed everything new again but still no luck, im not prompted to log in. (i assume that even without editing the smb.conf file i should be getting a prompt to log in right?) what should i do? i dont thi…

Hello! Are there any plans for a stable minimal/IOT release for the Rock 4D, and if so, what’s the timetable? Thanks!

Anyone know if this is available? Apparently the Ubiquiti Unifi Controller software only works on Raspberry Pi Raspian because they have this so-called "Hard-float" version of Oracle Java. I'd rather use one of my C2s for the job but haven't had a chance to look into getting an official Oracle Java JDK installed yet. Thanks!

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.

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 used armbian 5.14 (3.4.112)and the gc2035 worked nice. but in armbain 5.30 (3.4.113)the gc2035 shows the error : [CSI_ERR][GC2035]sensor_read err at sensor_detect! [CSI_ERR][GC2035]chip found is not an target chip. and in h3droid ,one of android img fo opi ,it was built in 3.4.113 too ,and it failed again... so what can i do to use gc2035 under .img built with 3.4.113? thanks.

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…

I'm using the Orange Pi Zero Plus for a WiFi radio application and need to operate some LED's / Pots etc Ive previously used an Orange Pi Zero (Regular) and had no problem using pyA20 library or wiringpi With the Pi Zero Plus, using pyA20 gives me this error for any port: AttributeError: module 'pyA20.gpio.port' has no attribute 'PA0' or using wiringpi (gpio readall) gives me: Oops: Unable to determine board revision from /proc/cpuinfo -> No "Hardware" line -> You'd best google the error to find out why.

Is there detailed info somewhere how to do so? Like I posted here I once prepared a new sd card with armbian, poped it in to have the system resize to full sd card storage and then restored the rsync backup. Back then I was successful restoring the backup on hummingboard. Now I tried with odroid hc2 backup via ssh. Turns out you have to be root on the client if you pull a backup via ssh, else the files and folders user,group and permission won't be transfered. Also after restore I changed the UUID in /etc/fstab to the new sd card. Since I first set up armbian with a fresh install I should also have u-boot on it. Unfortunately system does not boot on my o…

Which is fastest and how much faster? The h3 or a64? Thank you.

Is there any distro out there that has 2D hardware accelerated graphics so you can get a decent desktop experience out of the N2? I've tried armbian and the distro that comes from Odroid, but all of them are sluggish. Maybe I have missed to select some options? I've "just" installed it and tried som different.. window managers? It's a bit confusing. I'm only going to use it for python and golang development in VS Code, maybe some arduino too, but it's unusable with non accelerated graphics. Chromium or Firefox needs to be usable too. I have a feeling there is some kind of 1 2 3 recipe I've missed like install armbian, select this window manager, install this p…

Hello guys, first sorry for my english ,i'm a french speaking person. I'm trying to find a version of os running on tinkerboar to install Domoticz on it. I use armbian on another tinkerboard, using an image built By a project for astronomy and it runs very weel (NafaBox). I dont know the Base they used but it's Armbian, and with the script delivered no soucy for a dummy like me to use it (no configuration where needed) When I install the focal version of the download section of this site, no soucy to write the SD card, to boot and to start configuring. Domoticz can install also but the link using anothere PC with Chromium fo…

I was experiencing slow writes to internal SD card and hard drives connected to an USB 2.0 hub on multiple Odroid HC1. IOWAIT was 99.99% most of the time during large file copies. I found that Armbian was simply waiting too long to write data to disk. Kernel parameters are optimized for writing small amounts of data to SD card when running from that in order to reduce wear. If you have the same problem, you might get factor 10-100 faster writes using the following sysctl settings: vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=50 vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=50 No need to act, if iotop shows low IOWAIT values on your system.
