Hey so I've been trying to install the patches by @jpegqs but I keep getting stuck at the " cp orig/*.dtsi . " Aspect of it as I get "no such file or directory" (I'm really new to this and I'm clearly doing something wrong with the asterisk part lol but I'm a fast-ish learner)

Hi to all, I have been using banana pi pro and m1 for some years as mini PBX with asterisk, due the stop of bananian's development that works perfectly but now is obsolete and vulnerable, i'm testing armbian but registered prompt audio sounds choppy and i can't find reasons, I tried to move files in ram disk, use usb to lan interface, increase process priority, use performance ad cpu governor, also tried Armbian 5.83 Bananapi Debian stretch next, same problem. Any suggestion ? Thanks advance.

I was running espressobin v7 with Welcome to Armbian 21.08.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.10.60-mvebu64 and made an upgrade in a regular way : # apt upgrade The following packages will be upgraded: apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-dev apache2-utils armbian-bsp-cli-espressobin armbian-config armbian-firmware armbian-zsh asterisk asterisk-config asterisk-modules asterisk-voicemail avahi-autoipd base-files bash curl deb.torproject.org-keyring dirmngr distro-info-data dpkg dpkg-dev ffmpeg gnupg gnupg-l10n gnupg-utils gnupg2 gpg gpg-agent gpg-wks-client gpg-wks-server gpgconf gpgsm gpgv gzip hostapd ifenslave inetutils-inetd inetutils-telnet libapache2-mod-php7.4 libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libavcodec58 libavdevice58 libavfilter7 libavformat58 libavresample4 libavutil56 libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc-l10n libc6 libc6-dev libcups2 libcurl3-gnutls libcurl4 libdpkg-perl libfreetype6 libfribidi0 libgnutls30 libgssapi-krb5-2 libk5crypto3 libkrb5-3 libkrb5support0 libldap-2.4-2 libldap2-dev libldb2 liblzma5 libnm0 libnss-myhostname libntfs-3g883 libpam-systemd libpcre2-16-0 libpcre2-32-0 libpcre2-8-0 libpcre2-dev libpcre2-posix2 libpostproc55 libpq5 libsdl2-2.0-0 libsmbclient libsnmp-base libsnmp40 libssl-dev libssl1.1 libswresample3 libswscale5 libsystemd0 libtiff5 libtirpc-common libtirpc-dev libtirpc3 libudev1 libwbclient0 libxml2 libxslt1.1 linux-dtb-current-mvebu64 linux-image-current-mvebu64 linux-libc-dev linux-u-boot-espressobin-current locales logrotate nano network-manager ntfs-3g openssh-client openssh-server openssh-sftp-server openssl php7.4 php7.4-cli php7.4-common php7.4-curl php7.4-json php7.4-opcache php7.4-readline python3-ldb python3-samba rsyslog samba samba-common samba-common-bin samba-libs smbclient systemd systemd-sysv tcpdump tor tor-geoipdb tzdata udev unzip wireless-regdb xz-utils zlib1g ... update-initramfs: Converting to u-boot format update-initramfs: Converting to u-boot FIT image FIT description: EspressoBIN 3720 FIT Image Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Image 0 (kernel) Description: Vanilla Linux kernel Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Type: Kernel Image Compression: lzma compressed Data Size: 6882687 Bytes = 6721.37 KiB = 6.56 MiB Architecture: AArch64 OS: Linux Load Address: 0x07000000 Entry Point: 0x07000000 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: c8d92b9c244fdcc9fb56f640d05e6fc4d3f7ffb6 Image 1 (ramdisk) Description: Boot ramdisk Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Type: RAMDisk Image Compression: Unknown Compression Data Size: 8909801 Bytes = 8700.98 KiB = 8.50 MiB Architecture: AArch64 OS: Linux Load Address: unavailable Entry Point: unavailable Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 3be954cf886386101311f7673115fa0be0c95366 Image 2 (fdtv5) Description: Flattened Device Tree ebinv5 Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 11618 Bytes = 11.35 KiB = 0.01 MiB Architecture: AArch64 Load Address: 0x06f00000 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: dcfa1e753a26493b713b8d6eee19e0895db09cc3 Image 3 (fdtv7) Description: Flattened Device Tree ebinv7 Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 11646 Bytes = 11.37 KiB = 0.01 MiB Architecture: AArch64 Load Address: 0x06f00000 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 0230f9e11a6f364dc66c0aca9a72620b19a0f1e0 Default Configuration: 'v5' Configuration 0 (v5) Description: Standard Boot ebinv5 Kernel: kernel Init Ramdisk: ramdisk FDT: fdtv5 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: unavailable Configuration 1 (v7) Description: Standard Boot ebinv7 Kernel: kernel Init Ramdisk: ramdisk FDT: fdtv7 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: unavailable After upgrade and reboot the kernel was upgraded to : Welcome to Armbian 22.08.6 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.74-mvebu64 The side effect is that cpu-freq regulation seems to be broken: root@tiger:~# cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009 Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please. analyzing CPU 0: no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms. analyzing CPU 1: no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms.

I am creating a script that can backup sd-cards running on the system, resizing it with desired value or via resize2fs calculated. I learn a lot but there are a few things I don't fully understand. When I create a backup I dd what I understand is the bootsector, ie I grab the "start" position of the partition I am backing up with fidisk and use that value and a blocksize of 512. I then add another 10mb (in bytes) just to be sure. Usually the bootsector is 8192 big, but not always (IIRC nanopi neo3;s is WAY bigger). dd bs=512 count=$DDBOOTSECTOR if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=$IMG_FILE conv=noerror,sync status=progress I then truncate the file, calculated either by resize2fs minimum calculation or via an input + file usage in df (depending of what flag I start the script with) + bootsector + yadayadayda. (if someone want me to post the script I will, but the script and calculations work, although I "force" some commands) I then loop the created img file and delete the partition on the /dev/loop0 and recreates it to cover 100%. Then format it with mkfs.ext4 copying the name and uuid from wherever I backup from. I mount the loop and rsync / rsync -ahvD --exclude={/lost+found,/proc/*,/sys/*,/dev/*,/tmp,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/var/log.hdd,/var/swap,/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules,/var/lib/asterisk/astdb.sqlite3-journal} --info=progress2 --stats --delete --force --partial / $tmp_dir This seems to work, but there are probably some things that are just "accepted" not really "perfect". So questions: 1. Should I only dd the EXACT bootsector and not add the extra 10mb? The reason I ask is because if I try to delete the partition with parted, I have to do a hack in the scrip where I simulate button presses, it warns me that "the partition cant be outside of the disk" when I try to REMOVE it. Solution, I use sfdisk to remove the partition, but it prompts me to think there is something wrong going on here. If the size I create is ABOVE the resize2fs reported minimum i don't get this warning. sfdisk was the solution in this case, but still curious on this behavior. If I try to only dd the small part, it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't so I come here asking. (I might be able to do some further research but since I have other questions, why not ask) 2. Does armbian ever update the u-boot via apt? I do my next update with rscync by looping the file and mounting it. But that wont EVER cover the bootsector. 2b. If yes, do I solve this by again dd:ing ONLY the bootsector? 3. I have noticed that sudo apt update on armbian includes armhf even though running arm64. This makes the update process VERY long. dpkg --print-foreign-architectures shows armhf so i remove it with dpkg --remove-architecture armhf and then find /var/lib/apt/lists/ -type f -exec rm {} -v \; Seems to fix this but is this a bad idea? Why is the armhf even being fetched to begin with? To my memory I have not added arhmf architecture... Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am making Asterisk PBX over Orange Pi - 2g IoT, I have tried Armbian as well as Ubuntu. Everything is working fine, but I am stuck on two issues, a. How to add built-in GSM module of Orange Pi 2g IoT board in asterisk, so that A GSM trunk call/text can be transferred on SIP extension. I know chan-dongle, but asterisk is not detecting GSM module. I ahve tried different versions of asterisk. b. How to change IMEI of Orange Pi 2g IoT Looking for solutions Regards

Hi Igor, thank you for pointing me to that URL. I was able to build the kernel with in ~: call sudo ./compile.sh BUILD_ONLY=kernel BOARD=rock-5b KERNEL-CONFIGURE=yes In kernel configuration: But an asterisk in front of Device Drivers->Sound Card Support-->Advanced Linux Sound Architecture-->ALSA for SoC audio support -->CODEC drivers-->Texas Instruments PCM512x CODECs - I2C (it took ages to find this path...) Save and Exit Wait until the kernel has been compiled in ~/build/output/debs: call sudo dpkg -i linux-image-legacy-rockchip-rk3588_23.02.0-trunk_arm64.deb Hopefully, somebody is able to help me with the I2S overlay stuff... Regards, Klaus

Looking for help on how to install either freepbx or elastix on the OPiPC+ running latest Armbian desktop jessie. I was pointed an article awhile back but it did not work and I am by no means an expert! Any and all help is welcome. Thanks

Hello Vittorio thank you so much for this effort. Effectively nas, pbx,adblockers ,vpn' s are the best ever applications for those boxes I run several pbxes on rk322x , but ALWAYS have found freepbx , even on x86 or 64 very heavy, caotic, too way customized . I run mostly pure asterisk 13 ( or 16 it depends which is shipped with debian itself) with the old, ugly digium GUI interface. The interface is lightweight since uses static contents and js files and when I need something more customized, I do it in extensions.conf by hand Maybe we can discuss in private for some improvements ( I think to billing solutions) so we can leave free the 3ad for more hardware/kernel related problems

I can't help with the original question, but just thought I'd say that I downloaded and compiled from source Freepbx/Asterisk on Armbian running on an SDcard and have never had an issue with choppy audio. My version is FreePBX 13.0.197.31 which is fairly old as its been running for a few years, but it is still under support. Im using an orange pi one with 512Mb memory, The PBX which has light use (3 extensions, one PSTN gateway, one IVR, 3 trunks) but does do other stuff as well.

Not sure if this is beginner or advanced, so I guess I'll start here. I have a "le potato" I recently bought. Getting it working has been a nightmare, but I'm almost there. Right now my project is to get a 32x64 RGB matrix working using an adafruit hat. I got Armbian 22.02.1 Focal running on it, and I'm using the gpiod library. I've had to write my own access library, but I've almost got it working, translating the pin labels ("7J1 Header Pin15") to the appropriate GPIO/offset values for use with gpiod. Except for exactly one. I try to use request_line on GPIO 22 (chip 0, offset 10) and it gives me an invalid argument. Doesn't do this for any other GPIO and I'm at my wit's end. I see in the docs that this is a "TEST_N" pin with a double asterisk notation that it needs a recent kernel to set output, but mine is plenty recent enough. I've also verified triply that I'm trying to access gpiochip0, offset 10. Some info that might be valuable. Virtual cookies if you can help. Thanks.,

Similar issue with orange pi 4. My root partition is on SSD. ==> System boots normal after removing SD-card from fstab. Additional problem with new kernel: defunct asterisk and thus blocked udp6 port. (It happened once a day. Once a day I get a new IP address from my provider)

Hi everyone, i've been building a new distirbution based on armbian 5.2 server, on it has been compilled freepbx 13 and asterisk 13, i've added a webmin frontend for server management. It's my first apportation, i'm not a pro, but i wanted to share it with the community. The password for root is: "Armbian" The password for the user admin on freepbx is: "admin" In order to mount the image you need at least a 8gb sd card Here is the link to the download: https://mega.nz/#!eZ1gCKKY!UguIUAi-xa6K6iXXj37EZPFedgzCPdnSEQDBuoT3xRo (remember this image is for orange pi plus)* Finally, if you want to resize the partition toget all the space available on your disk, use this command: update.rc firstrun defaults Well, thanks for reading, and i hope it can be of some use to all of us.

Please give me your recommendation for my OPiPC+ to use Armbian and Asterisk I see there are 3 options for Armbian for my model. I am not good with linux and would prefer a GUI for both Armbian and Asterisk. Also I am wanting as "Lightweight" as possible. I will not be using the OPi for anything else but a phone system. Also could you give me steps to take to add Asterisk to Armbian. Thanks

@Elmojo I know is not fine answer to a question with another question but in this case comes very natural ask : why did you modded it ??? Just for fun ? You didn't have a defined purpose in trying linux ? Anyway, just to answer , in my personal study case I have done on it: voip pbx ( asterisk) network nas network firewall pihole dns firewall openvpv, wireguard and tinc vpn home assistant volumio special ip cam monitoring and data acquisition and I guess I could experiment more..... if only I would study more potential applications

I'm having trouble installing asterisk in this version , in versions 4.4 and 4.5 of ARMBIAN Debian 4.4.3 Jessie worked perfectly! It seems that the error is related to kernel , but I'm learning to work with embedded now ! If anyone has experience with Asterisk and can help me I appreciate the support !

@kruzer please don't, let's use it every day and not just for the 4th wave The 322x is the black duckling of the serie , but as per the novel, it unvealed to be a nice swan too. Of course with its limited resources but for headless programs ( vpn, dns pihole, asterisk voip, ssh, samba, etc etc etc ) is really satisfacting. But 3318 I must admit is another level ......About laggy things, yet, I really hope and think that experiences will be every day better. Until just 6/7 moths ago this 3318 was not more than the nth black-box sold around, now is a 85% ready desktop substitute And a big thank you too, also, because " testing and proposing" , trials and errors, is the best way to achieve results !!!

@Seth android producer put in modules folder usually 3 or 4 drivers for wifi they mostly use ( s9012, ssv6051 etc etc) s9012 it seems to me veryyy old wifi sdio I use my box for voip ( asterisk) , vpn ( tinc ) , domotic, pihole dns catcher and I love it and yes I agree with you, good power less consumtion

This is the image i downloaded from freepbx https://www.freepbx.org/downloads/ you could view all versions to check the iso images available. so this image contains freepbx with asterisk. i want to install this image on my nanopi neo core but i am afraid if it wont work. for more information about this operating system at my pc : command: cat /etc/os-release output: NAME="Sangoma Linux" VERSION="7 (Core)" ID="sangoma" ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora" VERSION_ID="7" PRETTY_NAME="Sangoma Linux 7 (Core)" ANSI_COLOR="0;31" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:sangoma:sng:7::server:utf8" HOME_URL="https://distro.sangoma.net/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://issues.sangoma.net/" CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="Sangoma-7" CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="7" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="sangoma" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7" command: hostnamectl output: Static hostname: freepbx.sangoma.local Icon name: computer-laptop Chassis: laptop Machine ID: b230bc99e3f54757988c502759a40135 Boot ID: e7f281a29a2d47daa7c82fc79d4302a2 Operating System: Sangoma Linux 7 (Core) CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:sangoma:sng:7::server:utf8 Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 Architecture: x86-64 so does this kind of linux images work on nanopi neo core or not ?

Hi guys, I'm trying to share internet access from wireless Wlan0 to Ethernet Eth0 port to connect a SIP phone to the PBX asterisk server; nevertheless as the Asterisk server has source IP filtering, i have to establish a VPN tunnel with and openVPN server that has static public IP who already had a granted IP to access the Asterisk server. I'm using Armbian (buster) with Linux 5.9.14-sunxi on a OPI Zero plus H2, nevertheless, i guess this is not a hardware problem. I have no issues to install and connect openVPN what creates a new tap adapter tap0 with the assigned IP from server, once connected the Zero Plus starts accessing internet thru the tap adapter (checked while finding the public IP). Now, trying to create the bridge: brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 tap0 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up ifconfig br0 192.168.8.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.8.255 The bridge is successfully created (no errors), but there is not access on the eth0 interface (br0), but now there is no connectivity with the outsite world on the zero plus itself (no more ping to any external IP). I have to delete the bridge br0, to restore internet on the zero plus board, so, never find the way to share internet on Ethernet interface. I tried with TAP to use layer 2 instead of 3. Just to test tried to bridge wlan0 with eth0, with no success either. I did used the firewall rules: iptables -A FORWARD --in-interface tap0 --out-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD --in-interface eth0 --out-interface tap0 -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING --out-interface br0 -j MASQUERADE The IPV4 forwarding is active. Any help will the welcome. Thanks, Mauricio F.

So I Bought a tv stick and used it on a tv off and on over the years and at one point wanted to run Linux on it and see if I could get it to recognize a usb network card and run asterisk or something. i tried all sorts of things gave up. Its been a long while now I still have this and a A10S version and I have scoured the internet trying to find some sort of support. Heck of alot of support for diffrent A10 a20 stuff but almost nothing for the MK802 tv stick. I think i bought mine when they first came out. Can someone give me a link or push me in the right direction. i would love to run Arbian on it. i am a huge Debian fan I run all my servers for clients on Debian and have build many inhouse and online VM Debian servers for various tasks!

@Maker39 well I have plenty of those running on different ip's and for different purposes: one example is domotic, I control the temp in my home with prelay on other i have my asterisk pbx voip server running with actually extension even over the world again samba and printer share, hole dns resolver ( ad blocking) and one of my preferite, my vpn server if you want use this board as headless, well it is perfect ( really even desktop is running smoothly) Of course this could occur , too many commercial variations, but backbone I should say is robust enough now Any way all reports and feedbacks are highly appreciated, ty

Hi! Thank you for the best os, for single board computers! Info: Board: Orange pi one 512mb ram, H3 cpu, flash 8gb transcend 10c. OS Armbian Bionic, last release. Aditional info: intalled asterisk16 from src with chan_dongle, freepbx 15, fail2ban. I configured call recording, 3g modems for voice calls. All works fine! But now i have problems with logs... Asterisk make so many logs, flash will die after a week of use. But i need this logs, for make some debug, and ofcourse for fail2ban. From Armbian-Docs, i understand OS have preinstalled zram and log2ram, but i dont understand how to configure them for: Then os boot, i need to make VIRTUAL DISK 100MB from ram symlink to /var/log/. All logs will be there for 24 hours, and by cron delete, and start collecting new. Logs never save to SD card. I want to make image with all preinstalled software what works on 99% and share with other people. Need your help guys! Thank for your time! P.s. i am sorry for my bad english.

@hexdump you and all friends from forum are absolutely welcome hope this could be usefull for someone I could have been even more detailed but hope people on this forum has just little knowledge of what they are doing and also the risk ( very remote thought) to definetly destroy the board. and then ... If I did, ( me dumb on programming) quite everyone can do it actually I use the board as voip pbx( asterisk) , and to drive a relay following this project https://github.com/darrylb123/usbrelay

Hi, Everyone. I need Armbian SIP client on the Cubieboard 1 Alwinner A10 with control functions over GPIO pinouts. GPIO pinouts control must be configured over web server. Pins Cubieboard connected to the buttons and LEDs. After pres Button 1 SIP client send comand to the Asterisk server for call to sip client on the other cubieboard motheboard. Who can develop such an application?
