Hi I would like to add usbtv driver (STK1160) to the kernel, but I don't know how to use this information: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/STK1160-howto-linux-sunxi-3_4 Together with the Armbian repo https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib

I managed to write H3 HDMI driver for mainline U-Boot. Source can be found here: https://github.com/jernejsk/u-boot You should also add CONFIG_VIDEO=y to defconfig for your board. It should work nicely for standard resolutions (720p, 1080p). Other resolutions might work, but some additional work needs to be done. Currently, this can be used for working with U-Boot (instead of serial console) or splash screen.

Today i have tried to boot armbian on my old tablet. After i copied script.bin from tablet nanda partition and applied it on Armbian_5.20_Lime-a10_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop image desktop has started. The first thing i have checked is CPU temperature 65 - 67 'C - 1008MHz 300Mb of 512 free mem Not working: 1) touch screen 2) wifi 3) accelerometer Is it normal 65-57 'C for Allwinner A10 CPU ?

E.g., in Orange Pi PC or PC2? Any hardware mod necessary or kernel mods? How about H2, as in OPi 0?

Hi, I updated my cubietruck jessie to 5.23. update successful but no boot on kernel . I boot on sd card and mount nand . no uImage but an zImage. I use mkimage in order to generate uImage and it work. kernel packaging must be corrected.

Build today a new 5.23 jessie 3.4.112 (with rt143) for H3 (NanoPiNEO) Configured all wifi ok (8192cu) Later on, saw the indicated upgrade on 3 packages linux-headers-sun8i linux-image-sun8i tzdata First I installed the tzdata and all were still working ok. The linux-headers-sun8i linux-image-sun8i when installed made wifi (8192cu driver) to vanish. After a hint for install the armbian-firmware-full, the dongle became visible in ifconfig as wlan0 but not being able to connect anymore on any AP although previously, before the upgrade, everything was connecting and working ok. Though it might be proper to report it also here in development sect…

Hello, I'm building a device driver which controls gpio pins. When I developed one in the kernel 3.x, I could get the proper gpio pin number from script.fex(converted from script.bin in /boot/bin/ folder) For example, if the pin I'm using is PB03, I was able to use 3 to control that pin in device driver program. gpio_pin_1 = port:PH10<1><default><default><0> gpio_pin_2 = port:PH20<1><default><default><0> gpio_pin_3 = port:PB03<0><default><default><default> However, from kernel 4.x, script.bin file is not used anymore. Instead of this, there is a dtb file, but I have no idea where I can…

Hello, I'm using armbian debian Jessie server, kernel 4.6.3 for banana pi m1+. Before, I built device driver with kernel 3.x and was working well, but decided to higher the kernel version because of SPI. (cpu isolation for the thread with SPI communication did not work in kernel 3.x) In the kernel 4.6.3, cpu isolation was working perfectly. When I used bcm2835 library, SPI also worked. However, when I tried to use the same device driver code in the kernel 4.6.3, it just crashed and froze. I had to turn it off and on again to use the pi again. After debugging, I found out that the point of the crash was the method gpio_direction_output(pinNumber, fal…

I just install the development enviroment to build custom images. Works pretty fine. Thanks to all of you. It makes it easy to test custom kernels on development boards. I went a step further, trying to use the userpatches/customize-image.sh script. Correct if i am wrong. It's possible to make a generic building process to add new drivers like the media_build does? I tried but the building fails because some variable references like the kernel version and driver modules path that the building script gets are from the host building machine and not the chroot guest. I suppose that inside this building image process there are some profile variables that could be reused. that…

Hi. Today i made apt-get upgrade on opi +2. After it i cannot enable wlan1 interface (tp-link WN-722N). Modules are loaded properly but i cannot see wlan1 in ifconfig or iwconfig.

Hi, not sure if this problem is related to Armbian, but in my case it occurs only on an Armian system. I have mainline kernel (4.7.x) running on a Banana Pro. wlan is configured as access point and works without any problems. eth0 is configured as client with static IP. The Banana is running 24/7, but the ethernet port is used only sporadically. The switch where eth0 is connected to is powered down most time. The problem is that eth0 forgets its IP configuration after a while, ifconfig then reports no IP address for eth0. I have to login via wlan and then ifdown/ifup eth0, then it works again. After a couple of hours (I dont know exactly how long), the IP is lost again. …

Hi all, I am just wondering if there are patched kernel images for the Dirty COW exploit?

Starting to get into the armbian image a whole lot more as I prefer the lightweight nature of it over ubuntu mate on the ODroid C2. One issue I ran into today is the armbian kernel isn't built from the current hardkernel C2 kernel image: https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/tree/odroidc2-3.14.y I'm trying to get the 3.5" LCD Shield running on there, naturally it works fine on ubuntu mate C2 image but the kernel used for the armbian build is a different fork. The specific fbtft customised version for the C2 sits under the kernel here: https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blob/odroidc2-3.14.y/drivers/video/fbtft/flexfb.c I'm happy to rebuild the kernel fro…

I've decided to give a try by building new image with the refactoring of 4.8.x. So the image I've done is Armbian_5.21_Orangepipcplus_Debian_jessie_4.8.3.img I placed it on sdcard and look at the boot using serial debug.

During Assembly of images Armbian, faced with a situation where the build process creates a new\updated packages (kernel etc.). These packages are used to created images and it is desirable to update those who are already using older versions of the images. How to organize a network repository that would enable users to connect, get and install packages via regular means. For example using synaptic ? Maybe there are already rules for how it should be arranged for Armbian.

Hi, can you add CONFIG_USBIP_CORE=m CONFIG_USBIP_VHCI_HCD=m CONFIG_USBIP_HOST=m CONFIG_USBIP_DEBUG=n to kernel config? 3.4.112-sun8i These modules are needed for usbip. Thanks

Hi guys, Given the not so great durability of SD cards (and limited storage...I try to keep everything on NFS mounts, but there's always some log that decides to randomly fill the SD card full of crap), and the incapability of run properly docker (it runs, but it NEEDS to use damn local storage, and won't take an NFS mount for some reason...it gets full real quick), I was considering to boot to a iSCSI target. This would let me expand storage anytime I need, plus it would make backup and snapshots a piece of cake. Is there a way to do this?

In order to make armbian better, we need your help with testing. Why? there are simply too many boards to handle, there are task which can't be automatized, there are bugs which are not seen from our perspective. What kind of tests? booting, user creation, updates, upgrades checking if basic supported functions work: video, audio, network, wireless, AP mode do nasty thing to your board and report. How to test? Download nightly images from here. You want to test image which is not there? Add those two parameters with desired targets to board's config and create a pull request. and / or cha…

It's a good idea, but it still leaves a question of loading u-boot and kernel/script.bin/initrd initially. If SPL doesn't want to boot from available SD card this won't help much... ... unless FEL is used to "bootstrap" the process. Just for experiment I compiled sunxi-fel for Windows and installed libUSB driver in single click with Zadig tool. So we could provide an application/set of scripts for Linux and Windows to do this.

Hi folks, I've done a Armbian build for my OrangePi-Plus2e this morning, and discovered that U-Boot "fdtfile" is now set to sun8i-h3-orangepi-plus2e.dtb instead of sun8i-h3-orangepi-pc.dtb as previously. Unfortunately, the sun8i-h3-orangepi-plus2e.dtb doesn't exist, I had to copy the sun8i-h3-orangepi-pc.dtb under the sun8i-h3-orangepi-plus2e.dtb name to make it boot. Where in the build process we manage to set "fdtfile" during u-boot build ? Is that done using mix of manipulations of configs found in config/boards/orangepiplus2e.conf (Zador recently changed it) Also, on separate issue, I've discovered that /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-dev-orangepiplus2e_5.20_armhf…

I want to have a "dual boot" system with Openelec for video and Armbian for the rest :-) The boot files are named different except 'boot.scr'. So the idea is to rename it, so the right one is used and then do a reboot. Not the PC dual boot with a menu, but good enough for me :-D So I copied the files from the /boot folder to an existing FAT partition and copied the rest to a newly created ext4 partition (mmcblk0p3). I modified 'boot.scr' to this: gpio set PL10 gpio set PG11 setenv machid 1029 setenv bootm_boot_mode nonsec if fatload mmc 0 0x00000000 /boot/.verbose then setenv verbosity 7 else setenv verbosity 1 fi setenv bootargs "console=tty1 r…

Hi all, I'am looking at creating a single unified H3 DietPi image (currently using ARMbian build tools), rather than one for each board. Would allow us to support all H3 devices, reduce work load and simplify DietPi source code. Basically I need to know if its possible, and which unique files/configurations would need changing to achieve it. The end goal: The user would download the H3 image, modify it for their board (eg: copy and paste job on /boot), prior to powering on. Some questions: Is script.bin the only unique configuration across all H3 boards? Aside from any additional linux stuff, like hardware items (eg: + onboard BT/WiFi) Does /usr/lib/linux-u…

Hey, I compiled and installed the latest kernel (4.7.3 and uboot 2016-09) but something went wrong. The dtb file was missing. while a manually correct the missing dtb from another run a flashed uboot in the wrong way. Instead of using the drive /dev/sdc I used the partition /dev/sdc1.

Hi, U-boot reads my SD card with a speed of less then 1 MB/s. This is the log from extraPutty for my kernel image: [30:208][35:648] 5025176 bytes read in 5389 ms (910.2 KiB/s) I find similar results from other people. When I read the same file in a shell with dd I get a speed of 20 MB/s.

Hi, I have a OPi lite board and the U-boot model name shows Orange Pi One. Reason: It's patched as a "one" in u-boot-99-add-missing-boards.patch. I copied this file to the userpatches/u-boot/u-boot-dev directory and made some changes so it refered to the sun8i-h3-orangepi-lite.dts I created. (According to the user provided patches section) This didn't do the trick because it didn't override the original patch. No change and the patching log shows that the original patch is applied. So obviously I did something wrong but I have no idea what. What I would like to achive is that I can control the green led on my board. (Pin PL10, signal name PWR-LED, signal name LED1 an…

Current main Armbian build hardware is a desktop based "server" running Ubuntu Xenial - i7 4790 / 16 / SSD. We already made lots's of optimisations within the build process but for 140 images I still need up to 14 hours where kernels were already cached. How is it possible to cut this time down significantly - to few hours, perhaps on a server grade hardware and further code optimisations? Currently I don't have access to any much better hardware to just run "build all" and see. I am looking for specific ideas for a build server upgrade and sponsored rent / exchange for advertisement. I was already advised by a friend, who knows something about server hardware: "J…

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Cubietruck that I was able to partly debug now, but I really like to have input from those who know more about this setup. On my Cubietruck (trusty, kernel 4.6.5-sunxi), I have a 120GB SSD (no-name brand) and added an ext4 partition and corresponding fstab line to mount it.

I changed my kernel command line and added 'init=/bin/sh', started a 2nd bash terminal before replacing …

Those past days, I was working on getting DT ConfigFS Overlays into sun8i-dev. Today, I've suddenly saw that the version from that we are using from https://github.com/megous/linux(branch orange-pi-4.6) change from 4.6.2 to 4.6.4. I didn't care much until I figured out that we loose all the UART1/2/3/4 (only keeping the debug UART0) as well as all I2C (except the one on r_pio for PMIC). So, "megous" github is back to almost what linux-sunxi github is providing, without all the patches for UART/I2C that I had prepared 3 months ago. I get I will have to re-integrate them on our side until there merge into real linxx-sunxi branch.

From time to time I searched for a somewhat precise power meter that produces not only a simple visual output but data that can be integrated into a monitoring system (be it RPi-Monitor, SNMP or something else). The ODROID Smart Power looked somewhat promising but was rather expensive and seems to be sold out in the meantime. Zador told me some time ago some details about different ADC measurements with Lime2, I checked this some days ago when combining Lime2 with a H3 board and am now thinking about simply using a Banana Pro to be used as such a power meter since I'm currently preparing measurements of a few H3 boards to arrive soon (see for some preparations this th…

Hi, I'm using banana pi m1+ with armbian legacy kernel. I'm building an application with c sharp and using mono to run in in the banana pi. My application needs to change gpio output levels multiple times while running, so I installed bcm2835 library in the banana pi to control the output level from the application. Using the library, I was able to control those as I want, but I'd noticed that there are default gpio output levels, which are different from each gpio pins. I'm using CON3-P36 and CON3-P38.

When ./compile.sh command is used to compiling a new Armbian version (especially with some source changes for debugging), in case there was an error during compilation, it can be impossible to find real reason of the problem. Log files located in output/debug folder are not very informative - they just show the last message, which also appears on the screen - failed in script line number . The following command was used to get full log of the compilation process: command | tee -a log.txt Hope this will be useful for somebody else (newbie), who like me spent a lot of time trying to understand, why the compilation failed after some changes in kernel configuration.

Hello. using Armbian 5.16 opipc+ I have used ''create launcher'' from the desktop to be able to connect to wpa2 wifi. I have rebooted around 6 times and is working each time. I have to launch two in series. first starts wpa_supplicant second starts dhclient success!. I tried adding them to the startup,(wishful thinking) so. each time i run them from the desktop, it launches terminal and asks for PW. because command has and requires sudo. does anybody know how i can get around this?, it would be amazing if i could have them auto run, next best would be without terminal asking for PW. no i don't know how to write scripts. I'm …

Hi I am getting a memory problem, quite irregular. In any case, for some reason, at different times suddenly decrease the amount of memory available - and so it remains. As the attached image at 2:30 at night when nothing has special - I was sleeping Can anyone advise me how to find the reason? I will be very grateful.

Hi, I managed to compile a working 4.6.2 Linux kernel for my Allwinner H3 powered Orange Pi PC using the Armbian lib build scripts. But where I'm completely stuck is when it comes to get all four CPU cores up and running. lscpu shows only cpu0 as online, and a syfs entry to enable cores 1..3 does not exist. Having applied 20151223-h3-mainline-smp-hack patch, cpu1..3 seem to get set online, but the booting process stalls (rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU, etc.). http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrixmarked SMP as "done", and mentioned this patch. A log file of the failed boot process is attached. My setup: Lin…

There is another topic with answer for desktop case. But how to rotate the console screen, when there is no desktop? The suggestion about change in kernel parameter - fbcon=rotate:<number> didn't work for me (edited boot.cmd, compiled with mkimage command, and I see boot.scr changed ) and I was unable to change the /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate file - it stays unchanged.

Hello, I've just built and installed new Armbian console image on OrangePi PC. I am trying to use the a10disp utility, first of all to get information - info command: sudo a10disp info, but it shows error "kernel sunxi disp driver does not support versioning. This program requires sunxi display driver 1.0 or higher", while dmesg shows error "disp_ioctl, line 1584:para err in disp_ioctl, cmd = 0x0,screen id = 65536". Please advise what is wrong and how to get correct result.

Hello! I make an image for my device on the base Orange PI PC. As you know there is a built-in bad hardware RTC. There is no battery for clock. I make an image with the built-in off the RTC. It works fine! I want to connect RTC DS3231 or DS1307 i2c bus. How can I apply them in the kernel at boot time? How to tell the kernel that his master clock are i2s bus? How to remove fake-hwclock step build of the image? Sorry for bad english. I have tried

Hi all, there is an issue with SPI on a Banana Pro (A20). I am on mainline kernel 4.5.5 now, but the problem already occurred on 3.4.109. SPI transfers are way to slow for my application, independently from the SPI clock. Investigating the SPI signals it turned out that there is an enormous delay between CS going active (low) and the transmission starting. The delay is in the magnitude of 10...20 usec which is a large multiple of the pure transmission time, so increasing the SPI clock does not solve the problem. The connected device is an SPI TFT display, so I have to send a large number of SPI words of 2 bytes each, where CS must toggle after each word (required by th…

I'm using banana pi M1 plus and armbian legacy kernel. I wanted to use uart0(ttyS0), uart2(ttyS1) and uart3(ttyS2), so I tested those three uarts with an echo server in banana pi and a program sending a data in a PC. When I tested uart2 and uart3, I was able to get the data that I had sent without any problem. For the uart0, however, there was some error messages. I was also able to get the data, but I want to deal with the error message so that I can prevent any future problem. It seems that the error is caused because the ttyS0 is sending some console messages. I've found some articles about getting rid of console output from ttyS0. Most of them said to modify …

Hi, i'm trying to write a small routine to be executed by u-boot, but i need to enable debug messages output on serial console in entire u-boot. How to do that?

Hi! I want to know in what order is executed the patching at compilation? Patched files are written into SRC files? How I can skip selected patch file? Thanks!

On Orange Pi One, Lite and NanoPi M1 we currently have the ability to let VDD_CPUX voltage switch between 1.1V and 1.3V. With our current settings we switch at 912MHz CPU clockspeed from 1.1V to 1.3V. The higher the clockspeed the higher VDD_CPUX (this is the voltage the CPU cores are fed with) has to be to let the SoC work reliable. But on the other hand the higher VDD_CPUX is set the hotter the SoC gets and the earlier throttling will jump in. So knowing at which clockspeed H3 still works reliable at the lowest possible VDD_CPUX voltage (in the case of the aforementioned boards only 1.1V or 1.3V are available) can help with overall performance since throttling gets m…

Hello, I am trying to create custom USB gadget using GadgetFS on OrangePi PC. I found some example of USB user-mode driver based on GadgetFS and was able to adapt it for sunxi H3 platform. If I only change the VID and PID in this example, the device is still detected correctly in Windows (my part gets initial requests), but no data buffer is received after the detection. I see the data is sent from my PC module (using WireShark). I think the data is either locked or handled in unexpected way by sunxi_usb_udc module. How can I get detailed debug messages (using dmesg) of the sunxi module? I hope this will let me re-design my solution.

Hi, on a lime2 the firstrun script hangs as it doesn't seem to have a red or blue LED. So I'd like to propose the following change which shouldn't break anything but add the green one.

Hi all. In response to aarch64 because the images have been distributed to the official NanoPC-T3 and NanoPC-M3 arm7l and Armbian you want to distribute. From the official not working so actively hard? http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPC-T3 https://github.com/friendlyarm/ Thanks.

Hi all, since we're currently collecting tasks to be done by community to get a nice board (OPi Plus 2E) in return I thought I sum up where we currently are regarding working H3 OS images with mainline kernel: Our main showstoppers for releasing H3 images with mainline kernel are still: missing/non-working THS stuff (see explanation here), native Ethernet driver not finished and a few minor bits. My last attempt to check situation has been a few days ago. Since megi rebased his THS stuff (also containing the various USB and Ethernet patches) I chose his 4.6 branch to give it a try (see commit 224550b). Unfortunately I ran into kernel panics when testing on my …

Would be anyone interested helping me collecting or making kernel fixes for H3? I already collect some fixes here: https://github.com/jernejsk/linux Question remains what to do with out of tree drivers like mali and wireless. I will probably add those which can be found in most SBCs. Igor, what is the plan with mali driver? Would be r4p0 acceptable? Userspace libraries can be found here.

I have Armbian Jessie running on a Orange Pi Lite board and the login script is showing the local loopback ip (127.0.0.1). It appears to be doing this because /etc/update-motd.d/30-sysinfo calls ifconfig -a and pulls the first ip, which in this particular case, is the local loopback. For the orangepi-lite, i wrote the following command in customize_image.sh and it fixes the problem in this case. sudo sed -i "s/ifconfig -a/ifconfig wlan0/g" /etc/update-motd.d/30-sysinfo It basically changes the script to pull the ip address from wlan0 instead of whatever one it finds first This could also be called from the command line for the same effect instead of during compilation.…

I am trying to build an image for both the Orange Pi PC and One I am on a slow cellular network and pay by the gigabyte for access. Is there a way to cache the packages for: Installing base system [ Stage 1/2 ] , and all the rest? Each time I try a compile.sh it take hours to re-download the whole set of packages, because the there is almost always at least a few packages that could not be fetched due to network errors, then they are unpacked and a corrupt tar image is saved and the packages are removed. If I save the create_rootfs_cache file with the missing packages, it does not try to reload them, it just errors out cause they are missing. I am building i…

Hi, Yesterday, I reinstalled my NanopiM1 and I noticed the download link for H3 devices uses many different versions : orangepipcplus : 5.14 orangepiplus2e : 5.14 orangepilite : 5.13 nanopim1 : 5.10 bananapim2plus : 5.13 orangepi2h3 : 5.10 orangepioneh3 : 5.13 orangepipch3 : 5.14 orangepiplush3 : 5.14 tkaiser explained me why there were both 5.13 and 5.14 (see here) so no problem here. But the 5.10 are quite old and for the Nanopi M1, the dvfs_table included is buggy. I do remember reading of a difficulty to detect the difference between Orange Pi PC and NanoPi M1 but I don't know if that may be the reason. Anyway, I can also add an issue if Github should be p…

Sometimes I get in trouble building a new image. This could be caused by a variety of reasons, e.g an Armbian patch does not work with the latest kernel, a new u-boot version makes trouble or some functionality is broken in the image like the USB and v4.6.1. stuff here: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1338-a20-lamobo-r1-kernel-461-usb-issue/ How could I step back to working Armbian main build libraries and a working kernel and stay on both?
