Banana Pi F3

Hi, I've installed the latest Armbian on an F3 (Armbian_26.5.1_Bananapif3_trixie_current_6.18.33_minimal.img), updated and upgraded and then rebooted. Unfortunately there's no PWM controller under /sys: bobham@bananapif3:~$ ls /sys/class/pwm/ bobham@bananapif3:~$ which means there's no fan control. According to the official docs, there should be a PWM controller to control the fan. Can the fan controller be added? Thanks, Bob Ham

The board works well with Armbian, but currently it is not possible to use USB audio interfaces (sound cards, modems exposing audio functions, VoIP devices, etc.) because the snd-usb-audio module is missing from the kernel and not available as a loadable module. If needed, I can provide logs, test kernels, or help verify the changes. Thanks for maintaining support for this board.

Hello there, 👋 I've connected an NVMe drive that I used in my PC to the Banana Pi F3, but it's not being detected. I'm using a USB-C PD power supply (Pine64 PinePower Desktop) to ensure sufficient power, yet it's still not recognized. The drive might be faulty. Has anyone successfully used an NVMe drive with this board? If so, could you share which NVMe drives are known to work with it?

Hello there, I recently gained remote access to a Banana Pi F3 to test it, and everything went smoothly. The board was running Bianbu Linux, and I was able to install and use Docker without issues. Now, I'm considering purchasing the board and was wondering if the Armbian image would also support running Docker. Do you have any insights on this? Thanks!

Hi, I use bananapif3 as my home router, where our latest official Armbian runs. Everything works well except the flow offload, which is used to accelerate packets handling, doesn't work in Armbian: $ sudo nft add rule inet filter forward ip protocol tcp flow add @f Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory add rule inet filter forward ip protocol tcp flow add @f ^^^^^^^^^^^ It seems that the kernel config CONFIG_NFT_FLOW_OFFLOAD is not enabled, which might result in this issue: $ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_NFT_FLOW_OFFLOAD # CONFIG_NFT_FLOW_OFFLOAD is not set So would the maintaine…

The graphical interface is very slow and glitchy when I booted my BPI-F3 running the latest Armbian provided (Ubuntu variant). The cursor glitches in and out, and it takes forever for the onboard display to open applications, display text typed in, etc (It took around 5 minutes to open System Monitor, and 1 Minute to open Terminal). I have accessed it also via SSH and a USB-Serial converter, and those respond very quickly, therefore I think It has something to do with GPU support. I also found this other version with GPU acceleration, albeit an older version of Armbian, which ran fine. Mine currently boots off of EMMC and runs off of NVME (although the same was when I ini…

BPI-F3 Introduction For this device, we can make an image using the Source Code: BananaPi_BPI-F3#_development Let's try to add support to the Armbian build system.
