Hi there, Now two pull requests are awaiting review: - https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8166#issuecomment-2867147049 Update the boot.scr script to calculate load addresses in case `setexpr` is available on the U-Boot monitor. - https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8170#issuecomment-2867915659 Enable the `setexpr` command on the U-Boot monitor, to unlock load address calculation in combination with the boot.scr update. Both are now tested OK using a built armbian 'minimal' image based on Bookworm. Groetjes,

Hi catotinha, Can you please share which image you successfully used, and where you downloaded it from, please? Thanks!!

Hi, I recently got my hands on a used unit of those, quite faster than my old SBC! Only issue I currently have is that I can't seem to get audio output on the 3.5mm jack. (Well the other issue is unrelated .. ) Anyone have an idea on what I should be hunting? I did the obvious cable, etc.. checks. There's always the possibility that it's damaged, hell if I know. Armbian 25.2.1 6.1 kernel KDE Neon (Why use a beta version btw? just wondering) Thanks! DW.

Yes, you already teach me how to make a patch to use secure boot and it works fine. Anyway, the ram patch didn't work. I build a new image now and it still shows only 2GB instead of 4GB. Maybe I miss a step to apply this patch?. The strange thing is that u-boot shows 4GB, than kernel shows 2GB in boot log. Even with a half of memory it works very well.

I have solved the issue of installing on a new system. sudo update-alternatives --config iptables Choose -legacy

Hi Pilinha and Werner. My problem was that I misidentified the board and thus installed the wrong software. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/51779-orange-pi-plus-2e-usb-ports-not-working/ Thanks for your help, I learn a few things here.

So here we are. Another problem we can confidently attribute to that thing between the chair and the keyboard. After trying a lot of weird stuff that made little sense and achieved no positive results whatsoever I started noticing and becoming annoyed at some strange details about ports, pictures and procedures piling up. There were always little things here and there not lining up perfectly with the articles, howtos, etc I was reading. After another wasted evening, burning out and angry, I decided to start reconciling facts by finding out if there were more Orange Pi Plus 2e models or revs, because mine almost matched up with the images, but not quite (and you probably already figured this one out, but I am a little denser than most). After not finding any indications that there were any alt models (and a good night's sleep to clear my mind) it finally dawned on me. I asked my brother about it and he confirmed that the model was indeed a +2e, he even sent me me the PDF receipt. From what I can piece from the episode, the hardware he got from the store is very similar and until some version, things worked fine for him even with the wrong version of the software, but at some point (when he was no longer using the board) compatibility broke. TL;DR I was trying to use Opi +2e software on a Opi +2 board. Everything is fine now. Thanks to the nice people who helped me here.

Great find.... this will be useful for me very soon

That fixed it, it's now detected on i2c3 (i2cdetect -y 3) Python also can interact with it root@orangepizero2w:~# i2cdetect -y 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 27 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Thank you SteeMan❤️

I think this line is wrong. I don't believe that the overlay_prefix should be included here, try with overlays=i2c1-pi I seem to recall mention of a bug in armbian-config that was doing the wrong thing regarding overlay_prefix when selecting overlays.

Hello, I'm trying to connect an PCF8574 I2C adapter to my Orange Pi, but it doesn't show up in i2cdetect, only something at 0x30 on i2c0 and 0x36 on i2c1 that is labeled UU. I tried to connect it to arduino, and it found it on address 0x27 Connected on pins 3 and 5 root@orangepizero2w:~# sudo i2cdetect -y 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 30: 30 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- root@orangepizero2w:~# sudo i2cdetect -y 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 30: -- -- -- -- -- -- UU -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- root@orangepizero2w:~# ls -a /dev/i2c-* /dev/i2c-0 /dev/i2c-1 /dev/i2c-2 root@orangepizero2w:~# cat /boot/armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 bootlogo=false console=both disp_mode=1920x1080p60 overlay_prefix=sun50i-h616 overlays=sun50i-h616-i2c1-pi rootdev=UUID=b9606c1d-3dea-4df8-940f-51cd0698eef4 rootfstype=ext4 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u

OK .. now i must "cleanup" all voltage regulators

As a developer I always recomend you to go for https://www.banana-pi.org/ if you want do develop your own device drivers: H96 Max v56 since 2024+ came with alternative wifi and lan controllers, you will need to fix if you buy it. a middle point could be the YY3568

Hi @Igor, all, Made some updates, see here (including some minor corrections). Tested it with a built image (bookworm-minimal) and it seems to work: I will see how i can change U-Boot configuration to allow for `setexpr` to work, as using `setexpr` will make sure this does not need constant changing whenever kernel grows in size. As this is my first pull request, not sure what to do next? Please have a look-see, Groetjes,

Is there anybody, who can help me with wifi module ..? or.. any utility to test / check gpios or. help me with gpio mapping in dts ..?? when I use dtb for meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dtb "Tronsmart MXIII Plus" tv box, wifi works fine... but, when I can replicate it on "my" dts for sencor (meson8b-sencor.dts) I have no success (two attached files for compare) Thanks.... meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts meson8b-sencor.dts

@eas07027 That install guide is for x86. dpkg -i os-agent_1.7.2_linux_x86_64.deb Try this https://community.home-assistant.io/t/installing-home-assistant-supervised-on-a-raspberry-pi-using-debian-12/247116 I haven’t installed home assistant before so I can’t help much. If home assistant is using docker you need to run these commands.

Hi @Zzzz, @Zaf9670, After it fails to boot, can you type the following in the U-Boot monitor prompt and share the ouput: echo $fdt_addr_r echo $kernel_addr_r echo $ramdisk_addr_r setexpr abc 1 + 1 echo "abc=x${abc}x" fdt header fdt header get def totalsize echo "def=x${def}x" Thanks, Groetjes,

@RaptorSDS, it do not boot from sdcard or flash usb, i think this box is die, only enter in Mask mode, but do not working any rkdeveloptool commands to rescue it! I rememeber now, to be a emcp so the ram memory is the same chip, i do not remove it, this go to junk! Thank you by help-me!

@Rodrigo Campos the patch is less then three months old. If you need secure boot i have the steps here. You just need to edit the defconfig patch for the board you are using.

Hi @Nick A, sorry my late answer. I can't directly use your image, because my box is that boot-secure. I need to compile it every time I want to update, so my last build have about 4 months, but I think that time it just have a "new patch for dram" unless have a other new dram patch. Anyway, I'll try to build it again to try. If you have any additional tip to this, I'll appreciate. Thanks again for all your efforts.

@Alfi ciio, did you try to change the PRETTY_NAME on os-release file? It should be "Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)" to install HA Supervisor

https://www.loverpi.com/collections/le-potato It says open-source support. Free software is software you may use, share, modify and redistribute. Can le potato run entirely on free software, such that there is no piece of non free software on the computer? If so are the armbian le potato images free software images? https://www.armbian.com/lepotato/ Thank you.

This may or not be the case. Looking through the Ubuntu bug tracker, I find a lot of similarly failed upgrades. But at least ports.ubuntu.com was not disabled in the past: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/757026143/VarLogDistupgradeMainlog.txt from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2086530

The home assistant is installed perfectly, but it does not load on emmc.

@Zaf9670 Please run "armbianmonitor -u" on the board and share the link
