Hello. When using version 2.4 armbian I changed the settings (work with a chip on AXP209 cubietruck) in /boot/script.bin File is now a reference to /boot/bin/cubietruck.bin file. How can I unpack the file to edit it and pack back?

Hi there, i want to stick to the 4.4 kernel an tried to compile kernel 4.4.12 (cubietruck) via: apt-get -y install git git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib--depth 1 cp lib/compile.sh . chmod +x compile.sh ./compile.sh after that, i built the following directory and file: mkdir userpatches vi userpatches/lib.config and added: KERNELBRANCH="v4.4.12" (also tried KERNELBRANCH="v4.5.6") as described here: http://forum.armbian...est-kernel-447/ Whenn running ./compile, i get the following messages: │ LD [M] drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner.o …

Hi, I try send parameters to Kernel via U-boot, but that is not worked. From U-boot command line: setenv bootargs 'isolcpus=0' saveenv boot After Linux boot I don't see system changes, for test cat /proc/cmdline How to send bootargs 'isolcpus=0' to Kernel?

Installed image Jessie server (Legacy) on the board BananaPi. Connected HDD SATA, create two partitions /dev/sda1 (swap) and /dev/sda2 (ext4). The system moved to /dev/sda2. How to move a swap of the /var/swap (in /etc/fstab) on /dev/sda1? How does the script /tmp/create_swap.sh? It starts with the system?

Hallo, the Armbian Debian jessie dhclient does not handle a served hostname reliable. Deleting /etc/hostname (or replacing it with an empty file) and setting the hostname option at the DHCP Server doesn't always work. In some cases the Armbian client still has its default name 'bananapim2'. http://blog.schlomo.schapiro.org/2013/11/setting-hostname-from-dhcp-in-debian.html describes the problem, a cause and a solution. I can confirm the problem with the leases file. Following step 2 works for me. It would be really fine if the unset_old_hostname file could be added to Armbian by default. Kind regards, Steve

https://github.com/jernejsk/OpenELEC-OPi2/blob/openelec-7.0/projects/H3/patches/linux/linux-88-enable-tv.patch so this is an openelec patch is there anyone to be kind enough to apply this to armbian?

Is there an example of how to prepare the image with ...(for example) pre-Installed webmin ,Apache and own www start page ?

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

Hello, I'm currently working on embedded and now I need to connect my banana pi A20 with lemake LCD. Because of chromium issues and bugs for lower kernel, I want to use vanilla kernel. What I want to do is to run a server suing asp.net and start a kiosk mode chromium and check in the LCD. I've checked you posted this link http://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/patch/kernel/sunxi-next/bananapipro_lemaker_lcd.patch.disabled ​I also heard that I might deal with this problem by kernel compile, but I'm pretty new to Linux, and actually a little bit overwhelmed about the sources and information. ​Can you give me any suggestion about kernel compile, where to st…

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.

Hello. I have troubles with the new version from source. The main reason i compile it from source, instead of downloading pre-build images is to enable CMA in kernel config.

I prepared new kernel based on recent H3 Allwinner code. Code was found here: https://github.com/friendlyarm/h3_lichee than it was cleaned and moved to my repository: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/linux -b sun8i On the top there are additional 100+ patches. I am still working on patches so they are not online yet, but you can try first build and compare to old kernel. Download deb package (dpkg -i linux-image-sun8i_5.07_armhf.deb) Patches regarding thermal, video mode changing and camera are missing. They need further inspection and adjustments.

Hi Igor, Here is YAP (Yet Another Patch) for the TBS5520 USB2 DVB-T/T2/C/S/S2 device (Rafael Micro r848 tuner). Sorry again, i tried 'git diff' but it gets only the first file, if you feel this can be added to the build process, please do it. There is a new version released that someone could give a look, but for now you can test this. git clone https://github.com/avafinger/tbs5520.git @lex PS: This should be applied right after rtl2832 patch.

Does anyone knows if there will be Armbian support for the NTC C.H.I.P. I would really love to run Armbina om my NTC C.H.I.P. aka "The World's First Nine Dollar Computer" No SD card on this one but you have to flash it. See: http://getchip.com/pages/chip

Hi, Can anyone tell why I cant export PH3 as gpio? It is the default "usb2_vbus-supply" for usb2 of allwinner A20. In my application I need to control this "usb2_vbus-supply".

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

Hello Igor, Good day. I just want to ask some question regarding cubieboard2 vanilla, hope you can find time to reply. 1. Which kernel source you are using ? 2. What configuration you use? 2. What are the patches you use? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Javer

I tried to used AppArmor under the Linux cubietruck 4.4.1-sunxi #10 SMP Wed Feb 17 17:57:20 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux. But I get a kernel panic after i rebooted the system. Some questions: 1. Did you integrate AppArmor into the kernel? 2. Did you use an alternative mandatory access control? 3. Need I an additional kernel argument in the /boot/boot.cmd other than these "apparmor=1 security=apparmor"? 4. Is there a major diffenrece between your kernel and that from danad.de? Unluckily I was not capable of getting a dump from the kernel panic. If you need it, I would take a photo.

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 …

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.

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.

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.

The patch can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=23567fd052a9abb6d67fe8e7a9ccdd9800a540f2 Regards, A.

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.

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…

Hello Everyone, Does anyone know, which script contain the mounting part in the repo? I would like to mount my HDD as it's mounted in the ubuntu trusty desktop version. I'm using debian wheezy(legacy kernel) Thanks, Sp0T

Hi Armbians, (If this question is already asked/answered please help me find the link.) I need the "ceph" and "rbd" kernel modules for my orange and banana pi. I am starting with the most recent images released: Armbian_4.5_xxxx_Debian_jessie_4.2.3. What are the minimum required steps to build the additional kernel modules? Where is the source tree for that kernel build (4.3.3-sunxi)? I would prefer to build directly on the PI (as opposed to x-compile) but either is ok. I tried a few things, including git clone of Igors "lib" project with build scripts. Runnig that pulled a kernel source tree: "sources/linux-vanilla/v4.3.3" which I am able to use to…

Hello, I was trying to add the module em28xx (PCTV 460e DVB S2 drivers) but get errors Cubietruck Vanilla 2.81 What I did: 1. make menuconfig in /usr/src/linux-headers-4.3.3-sunxi 2. add Device Drivers -> Multimedia support -> Media USB Adapters -> Empia EM28xx USB devices support -> DVB/ATSC Support for em28xx based TV cards as Module 3.

Could you include the module in future releases ( iirc the S2 adapter works with the legacy image out of the box so the d…

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

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…

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.

Hi! Just wondered, if it would make more sense to use zram instead of a SD-card based swapfile by default? Andreas

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.

Based on post "http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/120-f2fs-for-rootfs/" Can be added an optional choice to build image with F2FS root? Ext4 filesystem is crap for microSD/SD card and should not be used with expected large writes for example when you are running a mysql database. or tkaiser could you please post your modified compile.sh script for this purpose?

Hi! I'm testing the image for cubieboard (A10 SOC) onto my MK 802 II and the legacy kernel is working fine (USB, OGT, WIFI, HDMI...) I just have changed the script.bin I'm reading some documentation about the device trees and I don't understand how you compile the vanilla kernel. Sorry if is a stupid questions but my board has his own .dts (sun4i-a10-mk802ii.dts), how you get a common vanilla kernel valid for all the configurations without using one specific .dts for each board? Probably I'm missing something very basic for ARM kernels, but this is my 1º aproach.

Hello Igor(?), Armbian Buddies, I have ended being not able to compile a kernel module (and it breaks dkms btw) because files in linux-headers are ELF x86-64 (not ELF ARM) but it is quick & dirty FIXED :-) (Maybe I have messed Armbian tool playing with v4.3 kernel ???) root@bpi:~/kern4.3_4# dpkg -i linux-headers-next-sunxi_4.6_armhf.deb Unpacking linux-headers-next-sunxi (4.6) over (4.6) ...

Hi Igor, Hi Buddies, with the new changes of *.sh files because of "2>&1" you cannot figure out the compilation errors -- or if any staling questions like patching file tools/include/tools/be_byteshift.h patching file tools/include/tools/le_byteshift.h dpkg-deb: building package `linux-firmware-image-next-sunxi' in `../linux-firmware-image-next-sunxi_4.6_armhf.deb'. gzip: ./debian/dtbtmp/usr/share/doc/linux-dtb-next-sunxi/changelog.Debian.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? so I have tried and would suggest the following changes in common.sh (or anything better for bash conditional piping) #make $CTHREADS ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="$CCACHE a…

Hi guys, I am running bananapi and cubietruck boards and these board are axp209 power management unit equipped (tech details about this unit: http://linux-sunxi.org/AXP209).One advantage of this unit is showing informations about actual voltage and current of power source because as you know we are surrounded with many bad cheap power sources and microusb cables and monitoring of these informations can help explain corrupted data on microsd cards or random reboots. It show informations about battery status and usb voltage and current as well if battery is connected. I am using axp209 enabled RPi-Monitor from link https://github.com/XavierBerger/RPi-Monitorand I am sur…

FYI I've found a problem with the nand-sata-install script after building a 4.6 version for my pcduino, nand-part does not exist in /usr/sbin. Did a full, default compile.

Igor, to add some applications ( for example, https://github.com/Freescale/gstreamer-imx), it would be nice to have the possibility, to enter at some point into the chroot, and compiling software, and installing it. Or, add a "just mount exisiting image" function to your scripts. For example, base image is finished, and then I can use a function, that unpack, mount, the existing image, and allow "the costumer" to enter into chroot. What do you think? Peter

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.

FYI - seeing the following error on completion of a build... I suspect it's transient since it just seems to be verifying the image... "Re-reading the partition table failed.: Invalid argument​" Image build seems to otherwise complete successfully. Haven't tested the image yet. This was building a BPi image for Jessie using the "next" (latest) kernel.

Looks like A10/A20 audio codec support got merged to linux-next tree. Igor, can you please add these patches? I'll try to find all related bits. There are too many commits to link them one by one. Here is merge commit, it's easier to remove not needed bcm2835 and sun6i stuff from it. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit?id=2030deefd5bfb68317732d8f64c69c7cb5169e9d
