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!

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 ned to revert uboot back to 2015.07 for some tests. The point is this: Changed u-boot version in configuration.sh and image built without problems. When i boot it doesn't recognise the kernel image. which parameters should i change?

I am trying to create my own USB gadget based on sunxi_usb_udc and GadgetFS with Orange Pi PC. I can't find any details about sunxi_usb_udc and after successful startup and detection, I am unable to get data sent by host side. How can I proceed?

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 unable to install a key 3g ..to Odroid C2have you a solution thank you

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 TKaiser / Igor, FYI i manually prepared a patch for devices that use rtl2832u that i think may interest you to add this patch to the build process. You can patch against legacy kernel 3.4.111 and give users a chance to get their device recognized. Sorry, i can't couple with the automated armbian process yet, i usually do the things manually. I hope this can be useful (and hopefully works for someone). clone here: https://github.com/avafinger/rtl2832 @lex

Hi friends, I created a boot SD card with armbian for cubieboard A20 from this web site: http://www.armbian.com/cubieboard-2/ I insert card to cubieboard.

Video with the problem is here: https://youtu.be/E-gzpk1PnNQ Any idea, how resolve this problem?

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.

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?

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…

Hello, I need to use gprs modem with ppp over uart0, but something blocks the communication. The uart0 runs well over minicom, but not over ppp. When I use another uart, the ppp runs well. But I have to use uart0. The uart0 is set like debug port in u-boot and I think, that this is the reason. I don't know how to disable it. Maybe disable CONFIG_REQUIRE_SERIAL_CONSOLE in u-boot config file ? Thank you Tomas

Hi All, I have a requirement to boot a whole a20 system over USB as discussed in the link below. http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot#Boot_the_system_over_USB It requires U-Boot + kernel + initramfs to do this. Right now the only part that I succeed is booting on uboot, but not yet in kernel as well as initramfs (which is I dont have yet). I cant find a good tutorial how to do this. Hope someone can help.

First a very big "Thank you", Igor. You create wonderful images. But now the problem. I want to boot the A20 from an eMMC Flash. I use a HAOYU New MarsBoard A20 Dev Board. The reason: the CM-A10/A20 PCB has a footprint for an eMMC. So the 8GB NAND was removed and replaced by a 2GB eMMC. Then I took the Pecovnik Olimex Lime2 Jessie 3.4.108 image and added the fex file from the MarsBoard SD image. After a fex2bin the MarsBoard bootet from SD0. Life was beautiful. The problems start if I wanted to contact the eMMC. I changed "[nand_para] nand_used" to 0. And I changed "[mmc2_para] sdc_used" to 1. Then the kernel gets in serious problems: <6>[mmc-msg] sdc2 se…

5.0x Lamobo R1 / Banana Pi M2 jessie next 4.4.3 As described in this thread http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/691-banana-pro-testers-wanted-sata-drive-not-working-on-some-boards/?p=5641 /etc/rc.local successfully controls the Banana Pi M2's red, green and blue LEDs and the Lamobo R1's green LED. But how to control the behavior of the Lamobo R1's red LED? At the moment, Armbian 5.0x, the red LED doesn't turn off after shutdown. An older image, I'm still using, I guess 4.8x or 4.9x, turns the red LED off after shutdown by default without any manual configuration. I'm using a green heartbeat as workaround to indicate the power status but I would appreciate to us…

The script /etc/init.d/armhwinfo is executed on boot and gathers information about the machine's capabilities to tweak some settings. On my Cubieboard2 running Debian Jessie, it sometimes takes up to 20 seconds to execute. For example, last boot: $ systemd-analyze critical-chain multi-user.target @30.700s └─armhwinfo.service @12.831s +17.867s └─basic.target @12.155s └─timers.target @12.130s └─systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer @12.130s └─sysinit.target @12.097s └─networking.service @4.315s +7.732s └─systemd-random-seed.service @3.979s +112ms └─systemd-remount-fs.service @3.672s +286ms …

Hi everyone, I need to ask about GPIO pins. I have Cubieboard2 with Armbian (Jessie, Legacy) and I cannot export any GPIO pin as described here http://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO#Accessing_the_GPIO_pins_through_sysfs_with_mainline_kernel, chapter " Accessing the GPIO pins through sysfs with mainline kernel". I was able to play with GPIO this way on Cubian nicely but since Cubian is more or less dead without much support I moved to Armbian. I am able to export only pins with adress 1 or 2 as these are in the script.bin. I quite suspect that I need to change script.fex from GIT, convert to script.bin and replace original one on my Cubieboard. Am I correct? And next thing is that …

What kind of platform can i use to CROSS_COMPILE for armbian and OrangePI? Some of LINARO? Can someone help?

Hi all, Does anyone ever tried to use an EMMC to an A20 boards? Can you share your setup, uboot configs, emmc brand, etc. to make it work? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of building a file/download server with a Banana Pi Pro using the JMB 321 SATA port multiplier. Right now I'm just trying to build an image that will allow me to boot from an SSD, then I will deal with adding the JMB. I compiled a fresh image following the menu options after executing ./compile.sh selecting bananapi/jessie/next and it boots up correctly except it does not detect the SSD I have connected directly to the SATA port.(does not show in blkid or fdisk -l) Image name provide: Armbian_4.83_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_4.3.4 Going thru the kernel logs, I found this: Jan 26 20:22:03 localhost kernel: [ 3.49848…

Hi there, I have a hummingboard edge and I need to add a RTL8111 based PCIe card. As I saw in the iMX6Rex web I need to add some drivers to the kernel. http://www.imx6rex.com/software/imx6-rex-basic-hw-verification-tests/#pcie I tried to modify the file linux-cubox-default.config but when I try to compile there are errors. How could I do this? Regards.

Hi, I'm using armbian on my Cubieboard running from nand. I'm just curious how do you implement wear-leveling in this armbian on nand implementation on ext4? Thanks in advance. :)

Hi Igor, I am using nand-install script to boot my Cubieboard2 from nand. However I need some modification in uboot so I need to recompile it by myself. Can you share the sources and patches for this uboot that is running from nand? Thanks in advance.

New here, first of all congrats for the good work. I am using Armbian (Debian vanilla) on a Bpi R1 with iperf throughput of 860 MBit. Not bad.... My question: do you plan to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 as Freedombox (deb available on Launchpad for 16.04) needs several packages from 16.04. I tried a partial upgrade with Debian to testing, however the R1 did not boot after the upgrade.

I had great success with building a mainline kernel / distribution image for my banana pi pros and my orange pi pluses. Now I have a rack of Orange Pi PC because they are only $15 each!!! Sadly, I can't find "Orange Pi PC" in the list of supported boards in the build script. The only one listed with H3 chip is the orange pi plus, and that image does not run on an orange pi pc. So my question is.... What would it take to get the opiPC support? If its not a huge job, and you are willing to give a few pointers to get me headed in the right direction, I'll take a look and see if I can add it. Thanks, Blade.

Hi, could anyone provide a kernel (e.g. 4.3.3) with the patch for CVE-2016-0728? Or can anyone tell me how to patch and build the kernel - i only know the official way via "git an ./compile" described here in the manuals.

Hello, I'm new in this forum with my Banana Pro I got on christmas. Before I used a Raspberry so I gained a little experience with Linux. For Raspberry nearly every question is asked and answers you could find a lot in internet. But the BananaPi is quite new and so sometimes it is hard to find answers. First I tried to get my Terratec H5 to work and after a lot of research I found out that I need an other driver. Unfortunately the driver "em2884" (still do not know if it works) could not found within Armbian an the odyssey began because I have to compile a kernel. I red a lot of sites to understand what compilin a kernel means, about modules and config. Un…

Hi All, Can someone tell me how to update the script.bin in sd card and nand. I am using a custom board, which has different usb pin config. So Im trying enable it in script.bin. This is what I done so far. For SD card 1. I delete /boot/script.bin 2. Write new config in /boot/script.bin 3. Reboot Then the usb is still not detected, it seems that I did something wrong. For nand: 1. I boot via sd card 2. mount /dev/nanda /mnt/nanda 3. rm /mnt/nanda/script.bin 4. cp new_script.bin /mnt/nanda/script.bin 5. umount /mnt/nanda 6. reboot Again, nothing happens. The usb is still not detected Thanks in advance.

Igor, I noticed that your build script automatically parses a URL to determine what the current stable release is for "Next". Since 4.3 is now officially released and has a number of features worth checking out, it would be nice if the build script offered an option to pick from stable vs. mainline. For now I am just manually setting the KernelTag to "4.3", but it would be nice not to have to modify any of the scripts manually and have this be an option you can pick from. Just a suggestion... Thanks.

Where are config files in source kernel with function to enable next uart port in udoo?

What is the most proper way to calculate battery discharge ratio? I am trying to add this here: Load: 0.10, 0.50, 0.38 - Memory: 974Mb - Battery discharging: 30% AXP209 gives me: http://linux-sunxi.org/AXP209 - voltage - charge / discharge current Battery capacity should be the only parameter I want to set. Is there any advanced calculation script or simply, but not so accurate, direct connection between voltage and percentage?

Hello, i tried to compile an armbian package for my Olimex A20 Micro board. (A20 Micro, legacy kernel 3.4.x, Debian Jessie) Because the use of Ubuntu is recommended for armbian development I installed Xubuntu 14.04 on a netbook. (Usually I use Debian for development). I prepared the toolchain and downloaded the armbian git repository. After start of compile.sh it lasts several hours (the netbook is *quiet* slow) and then the build was completed sucessfully. (I only saw an error message compiling the fbxxx display driver.) Next boot of the netbook the Xubuntu graphical login appears and after input of the credentials nothing happens. No desktop. Quiet stra…

This isn't specific to armbian, I guess. I am not sure if the mainline linux kernel supports USB peripheral/OTG on Banana Pi M2. Armbian doesn't list anything in /sys/class/udc , so I assume it isn't. In the v3.3 kernel released by Sinovoip, there is a dedicated option in the menuconfig for sunxi_usb. I am not sure where to look in the mainline kernel. Anybody has a better idea about this? Thank you.

I would love to see a guide on how to create a virtual machine for Armbian which would be great for testing in VMWare Workstation, Player or Virtualbox. It would be similar to the diet pi vm which autoboots into the qemu (I think) for the Raspberry Pi If someone has a rough guide on how to do it I can make something noob friendly. My guess is you need to install qemu, add some repositories and then get it to autoboot using rc.local or something like that. Any resources on how to get started would be much appreciated.
