Allwinner sunxi

This is only my perception. I have this three SBC.: PINE 64 +, Nano PI A64, Banana pi M64. Everything on A64 allwinner chip. Armbian Image for Pine 64 works both Pine and Bananapi M64. But does not work NANO PI A64. Other third party software ( systems ) Remix, Ubuntu, work pine and banana pi and dont work nano pi. Only android 5.1.1 works on these three SBC....

After a recent (long overdue) update on my pine64 I found that pps-gpio was no longer working. Further investigation found that the default kernel configuration with 4.19.x no longer includes CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_GPIO (nor CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_LDISC). Anyone wishing to use pps-gpio (via overlay) will need to configure and build a custom kernel. user@pine64:~$ cat /etc/armbian-release # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BOARD=pine64 BOARD_NAME="Pine64" BOARDFAMILY=sun50iw1 VERSION=5.76.190218 LINUXFAMILY=sunxi64 BRANCH=next ARCH=arm64 IMAGE_TYPE=nightly BOARD_TYPE=conf INITRD_ARCH=arm64 KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=Image user@pine64:~$ uname -a Linux pine64 4.19.25-sunxi64 #5.76.…

From reading through the forums I cobbled together what I thought might work for getting spi nor to boot, but it fails: Activate the spi-jedec-nor overlay in /boot/armbianEnv.txt : overlays=spi-jedec-nor param_spinor_spi_bus=0 Then, after reboot, "cat /proc/mtd" should produce something like this : dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00200000 00001000 "spi0.0" Here is where it fails - I just get the heading, with no mtd0: 00200000 00001000 "spi0.0". Should I be using a different param_spinor_spi_bus? I assume that once that works, the following will work? apt-get install mtd-utils cat /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-orangepiz…

Hi all, I am trying to get an OV5640 camera working on the orangePiOne. I found this thread and was wondering if the overlay (or some overlay) is still required. Without anything extra, the camera is not detected. It says that sun6i-csi and ov5640 kernel modules should be loaded, so I loaded them manually with modprobe but nothing happens and nothing is shown in dmesg. Adding the mentioned overlay with "sudo armbian-add-overlay csi-ov5640.dts" just gives me an error in dmesg at reboot time "failed on fdt_overlay_apply(): FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND Error applying DT overlays, restoring original DT" uname -a Linux orangepione2 6…

Hi, Wasn't sure where to start this as it's at-least potentially and partially off-topic regarding Armbian. First of all, thanks for what appears to be the best distro for the small ARM-soc devices, including the PINE64. I really appreciate all the work and houtrs that many people are dedicating to the project. Some history: The Logitech Squeezebox Touch was launched in April 2010) It has 4.3" colour touchscreen Connects to Logitech Media Server (LMS) through Ethernet or Wifi and plays songs stored there or from a wide range of internet sources.

Hi, Pine 64's delivery is in full swing and thousands of people are receiving/received their Pine64 boards (Mine is scheduled for May). One of the survey shows that majority of the people have chosen to install linux on their boards. Many people are struggling to find a good image for their boards and current some what stable image is based on already end of life 3.10 kernel and there is promising development by sunxi. I am sure that thousands will get benefited if they get Armbian for Pine64. So How about Armbian for Pine 64? Regards, -- Avinash

On a clean Armbian image (Armbian_23.5.2_Orangepizero2_jammy_legacy_4.9.318.img) I am not able to connect to an AP. nmcli or nmtui produces errors (https://paste.armbian.com/ogowinebol). This also holds for the other jammy_legacy images in the archive. When testing on the stock images provided orange pi I am able to connect with both the Orangepizero2_3.0.6_ubuntu_jammy_server_linux5.16.17.img and Orangepizero2_2.2.0_ubuntu_focal_server_linux4.9.170 images it works. Connecting also works on the Amrbian focal_legacy images I tried.

I have tried searching but there doesn't seem to be much info on PPS support. It is a standard part of modern kernels and should be pretty consistent. On a Pine64+ using mainline kernel (debian-stretch-next) I chose an interrupt-enabled pin (PH9) updated /boot/armbianEnv.txt with overlays=pps-gpio uart1 uart2 param_pps_pin=PH9 and rebooted. I have a device (a GPS) with its PPS output connected to the Pi2 bus pin 13 that corresponds to PH9 and during boot this appears to be configured as a new PPS source: [ 5.548061] pps pps0: new PPS source pps@0.-1 [ 5.548135] pps pps0: Registered IRQ 145 as PPS source /dev/pps0 is indeed created by udev…

LCD support does not appear to be working in the latest builds (stable kernel 5.8.6, development kernel 5.9.7) My understanding is that this has been an issue for a while with A64 boards, specifically the Pine64, but that it was working at one time. Here's what I've tried so far: -Followed instructions at https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner/ and added "setenv video-mode sunxi:480x272-24@60,monitor=lcd,hpd=1,edid=1" to boot.cmd and put "saveenv" at the end, re-compiled boot.scr -Did a modprobe of panel-olimex-lcd-olinuxino -Rebooted several times -Ensured that LCD jumper was closed and verifie…

Quick google search showed something concerning nf_tables module in kernel or something like this. (I'm not an experienced linux user). Is there any chance to set up my OPi Z 2 with wg + nftables?

I am currently developing a custom board which is based of the Pine64/Pine64-R18 dev board. I previously had an issue with the ethernet not working at u-boot level using the sopine based R18 board, this I resolved by patching u-boot with the relevant emac sections that were missing from the device tree. On the custom board we have used the R18 processor with the LAN8720 ethernet-phy chip rather than the RTL8211 used by the pine, and can't get the ethernet to initialise. We have checked rmii clock timings etc and compared the custom board to the Pine and have noticed the following:- MDC has been measured to be running at 18.6Mhz, resultin…

As I already setup the RPi3 as VPN Router I thought I use the same procedure for the Pine64 with Armbian Jessie. This is what I use: HW: Pine64 with 1gb ram (Model: PA641GB) OS: ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.10.107-pine64 VPN software: OpenVPN VPN Service: PIA Here a small tutorial of the commands that I'v been used to create this VPN Gateway:…

Hi, I have a couple of these boards which I have been using with Armbian and the old, 3.10 kernel. Ideally I would really like to go mainline as later kernels have some functionality that would be useful for my use of the board. The only remaining reason (apart from cpu freq.) for sticking to the 3.10 kernel has been the lack of MIPI DSI support in mainline, but now I see that, despite the Matrix at http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort still being red for A64 mipi, some work is being/has been done by Maxime Ripard. I'm just wondering if anyone here knows if a working mainline kernel with DSI for the Pine 64 is starting to look like a p…

Hoping someone can help me out. When I use the desktop images from the following page: https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m4-zero/, I get my display properly identified (connected via HDMI) and can change resolution, rotation, etc. However, as with noted in other posts, these do not have WiFi. In order to get WiFi working, I use the image from here: https://docs.banana-pi.org/en/BPI-M4_Zero/BananaPi_BPI-M4_Zero. For my needs, this image works fine with the one exception. It does not detect the display and only shows default with no ability to change settings. I have poked around and tried to find a solution but am coming up empty. Is there so…

Currently using Armbian as a PiHole DNS server, it seems that after a few days the server just shuts itself down (Armbian 25.5.1 Noble 6.12). Not sure if it is a hardware related issue, I'll do some more tests and revert back to 25.2.2 Bookworm for now and see if the issue is replicated. Please note that my primary Armbian PiHole DNS does not encounter the same issue, though the version of it is Noble v25.2.3 / 6.12.30.

Good afternoon. I have great respect for your work (I signed up for an Individual subscription and made a small contribution to Funding equipment in April 2023) Question about Bananapi M4 Zero board The board is assigned the status "Standard Support", but there are no links to a stable image (for example Armbian 24.2.1 Bookworm CLI). There are only links to daily/rolling releases. I understand how much time and effort goes into maintaining a large number of boards. Tell me, can we hope for the appearance of stable firmware versions for Bananapi M4 Zero?

Hi, I really apologise if the information is out there and I just haven't found it. I was looking to buy a board for a small embedded GUI application and this one seems to fit the bill. I would like to use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and HDMI. Is there a list of what is working or not working on each build/version? (This is probably a more general question to Armbian for any device) The only thing I could find is this: But it's not that recent. On the download page: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-2/ under specifications it does list, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi but I'm not sure if this means its now working? …

Hello, I am new to Armbian and Linux in general. I am using an OrangePi Zero 2 (H616) board and need to enable the hardware UART. To do this, I tried using the simplest method I could find: running the command armbian-config -> System -> Hardware. However, in the section where I should find options for peripherals to enable, I found nothing. I have tried installing different versions of Armbian, but nothing changed: - Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepizero2_jammy_current_6.6.31.img - Armbian_24.2.1_Orangepizero2_bookworm_current_6.6.16.img - Armbian_23.8.3_Orangepizero2_bookworm_current_6.1.53.img - Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepizero2_noble_current_6.6.31.i…

Hi everyone! I'm trying to build my own distribution for the Pine64, and I use armbian as a working reference. I'm able to compile ATF + U-boot + Kernel + rootfs and the board actually boots and I get a console over the serial interface and over HDMI. The problem is that GbE Ethernet does not work. It appears that the 8211 phy is not powered. The good guys on the pine64 IRC pointed to the ATF, where the DC1SW regulator should be turned on in order to power the phy. On armbian everything works just fine. I think I messed up something in the build - wrong version / config / dts in either ATF, U-boot or the linux kernel. …

I also use exactly same PSU and cable for all three boards (however I reproduced this issue with four PSU and three microUSB cables, no difference in behavior was found). All three boards start just fine from microSD (so it's not exactly "Your board doesn't work?" case). One board never boot from eMMC on first power up, but almost always boot on second power up. That reproducible with all three eMMC modules. Two other boards just never boot from any eMMC module…

Hello, I am looking for a specific legacy image for the Orange Pi Zero 2W: Armbian 23.02.2 Bullseye with Kernel 5.10.160. The reason I need this specific version is to use the device as a USB UVC (Webcam) gadget via ConfigFS. On the newer 6.6/6.12 mainline kernels, I am facing a "Permission Denied" error when trying to write to hHeight, even as root. After researching, it seems this is a known kernel-level restriction in newer versions, and the legacy 5.10 kernel is the most stable for UVC gadget functionality. I’ve checked the current archive mirrors but could only find the 6.6.x versions. Could anyone provide an official archive or a reliable mirror link …

I was hoping to run a desktop on it. Reading different forums it's suggested that the default check is too short so HDMI is disabled but I've no idea how to disable this. Will there be a desktop version of Jammy for Orange pi Zero 2 available to download? I'm using Jammy with a desktop on a Orange Pi One and it works fine. Thanks

I need to use a 10 inch 800x600 DSI display in a Pine64 project and I think the easiest way to do this would be to modify the driver for the Pine 7 inch DSI display.

In the C source for this driver, I see the following data structure which defines a 1024x600 screen size for the 7 inch display ... static const struct drm_display_mode feiyang_default_mode = { .clock = 55000, .hdisplay = 1024, .hsync_start = 1024 + 310, .hsync_end = 1024 + 310 +…

Hi, Armbian gurus. I tried latest Armbian image for PineH64-b. (Armbian_20.11_Pineh64-b_focal_current_5.8.16_desktop) And I surprisingly found there is no audio device when I looked around.( by #aplay -l ) Is this expected for now? My older 5.6 kernel has HDMI device at least. I tried search audio problem around but had no discover so far. Please allow me to confirm with you. I'm looking for a good 5.8 multimedia-capable kernel to merge with my gentoo rootfs. Thank you.

I have been running Armbian on a headless Pine64 (the kickstarter one) for quite sometime without any issues. Last week I woke up in the morning and noticed that there had been a power cut. The Pine64 was on again but I couldn't SSH into it. I plugged a monitor and found the system hangs while booting with the following error: Error while loading shared libraries: lib system-shares-241.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00007f00 CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 5.4.43-sunxi64 #20.05.2 Hardware name: Pine64+ (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x180 show_stack+0x14/0x20 dump_s…

Not sure if this has been reported - the usual way of enabling spi overaly "overlays=spi-spidev and param_spidev_spi_bus=x" seems to be broken and when an overlay fails at boot time, it tries to load the base dtb from /.../alllwinner/allwinner/*, note the extra allwinner in the path - so it fails. The pin definitions for the Euler SPI are wrong. When you manage to get both SPIs up. SPI 0 is being enabled as spi1.0 and SPI 1 being enabled as spi0.0. It also fails to merge board neutral ili9341 SPI definition files (at boot time) that has always worked on H3 and H5 boards. To work around for now, use the following ( spi0.dts, spi1.dts) to get the spidev's up …

I have been trying to get DS3231 to work with the OrangePi Zero 2 via the i2c bus. I have tried setting the following settings in /boot/armbianEnv.txt overlay_prefix=sun8i-h6 overlay=i2c0 i2c1 i2c2 However, I am not able to use i2c tools to read the DS3231. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you in advance!

I recently bought a couple of A64-LTS boards from the Pine Store, but I couldn't get the official Armbian images to boot on them. https://www.armbian.com/pine64/ I could, however, get Manjaro to boot on them, and when I created an SD card with U-Boot from the Manjaro SD card, and the partition from the Armbian (Bullseye CLI) image, it booted into Armbian. I noticed, though, that Manjaro distinguishes between the Pine A64(+) and the Pine A64-LTS. Tow-boot also makes the same distinction. So I wondered if maybe Armbian wasn't booting on my A64-LTS boards because it wasn't making that distinction, but it should be. (I also noticed that …

I have been reading into this for some hours now, and it seems like I will need to write (or perhaps modify from some existing) DTB overlay or something like that? I tried following the instructions here, and using a .dtbo file (hifiberry-amp100.dtbo) I copied from OSMC I have here on an RPi 3, but I don't think that's right as it mentions 'brcm,bcm2835' which I suppose means it can only be used with RPi. The above mentioned .dtbo file seemed to be in some binary format, although I could still make out some text in it. I can't even seem to find the uncompressed (plain text) versions, I searched OSMC and HiFiBerry repos (amongst others), I don't th…

Hello , i have used now for some year armbian for this board, very many thanks for that; lately have updated to newer version Debian Trxiie and found that "htop" report a higher CPU usage after freshboot (around 50%) whereas previously it sat a 10% probably; now when evoking htop it gives (CPU offline for core 2-3-4) also nproc report "1" instead of "4"=? not sure if this an error ; noticed a similar report of nproc also with a build of volumio; thank you very much;

I've been building armbian xenial images for my pine64+ a few times now and it works well. But I would like to switch to bionic if I can. I find it hard to find a good place of documentation for either the 4.x kernel or ubuntu bionic for armbian, specifically for A64/Pine64 boards. If I google, I see tons of forum posts with specific issues, but no coherent overview of any issues with 4.x kernels? And reading through 2-3 years of replies on some threads is a bit much to find the info I need. So what would or wouldn't work on a 4.x kernel on ubuntu bionic? Also, I am confused about who does what, and therefore where to go with problems. How are longsleep or sunxi involved …

I have a feeling this was caused by a p[roblem with the definition of ftdfile variable: line from boot.cmd: load ${devtype} 0 ${fdt_addr_r} ${prefix}dtb/allwinner/${fdtfile} from the serial output: File not found /boot/dtb/allwinner/allwinner/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dtb ** note the duplication of Allwinner. Since I couldn't find where it was defined , I just copied the allwinner directory into itself.....:-) which fixed the problem. Perhaps someone could look into this? thanks.

First off, I would like to give the crew at Armbian a huge heartfelt thanks for all the awesome work you do under sometimes trying conditions. I would like to present Archian, the bastard child of Armbian & Arch. Why … well, the project I am working on needed current versions of phosh & plasma-mobile and the versions on jammy/bookworm were quite old. The OPi supplied image was quite flaky so I had to find a way to mash these together. And this is the result. It does need to be run as root ! The script has 3 arguments: init - downloads the armbian image file, arch rootfs and arch packages. You need to then write …

I have OPIZ2 been running for months for node-red and MQTTbroker. Due to crappy configuration I did during the insallation, then I decided to replace the OS and reconfigure all, I used the same SDcard and reflash with same Armbian_23.5.2_Orangepizero_jammy_current_6.1.30. But, beyond this point, OPIZ2 never boots anymore... I tried other armbian version and it is the same dead. If I use a fresh SD card (Sandisk 16GB A1) then it works ok. My question is regarding the SD card imaging ( i am using Balena-etcher), is there something change inside the SDcard after reflash so that OPI does not recognise the booting part anymore??
