Thank you for your comment I will the sys/kernel file Yes, there is a ili9341 module loaded It just appears to expect the correct SPI 1.0, BUT the spidev driver is not creating the /dev/spi1.0 device, only spi0.0... and when I change the armbianEnv.txt to use bus 1 (for MISO1, MOSI 1), the spidev driver does not create any /dev/spiX.X When I deactivate the custom ili9341.dtbo, with references to spi1, spidev works again. I can't find a definitive answer about activating spi-dev.dtbo in armbian-config>hardware... yes or no? Ideally, someone with a positive experience with Allwinner H3 will chime in here :)

Hello, I am also trying to get my ILI9341 TFT working on my Orange Pi Zero... which also has an H3 (only different GPIOs, and SPI1, instead of SPI0) In august 2024, have the people who succeeded in using the ILI9341 upgraded to Linux 6.6.x? Can you share the complete armbianEnv.txt and dts? Thank you!

I am experimenting with a cheap ILI9341 screen and mi OrangePi Zero LTS https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832431328471.html I found these recent instructions to be able to display graphics here: https://ryjelsum.me/homelab/xpt2046-ili9341-opi-zero/ with a reference to a previous experience (without mentioning success) https://hackaday.io/project/190371-g-edm/log/217902-first-success-with-armbian-nanopi-and-ili9341-touch and independently, I found these instructions and experiences here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/27457-connecting-banana-pi-m2-zero-with-ili9341-display-over-spi-on-latest-armbian-image/ <-just found it and it has some success with BananaPi M2 Zero https://tech-de.netlify.app/articles/de547180/index.html https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=782242&st=5060#entry112401076 I connected with wires as shown in instructions: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/28674-text-version-of-orange-pi-zero-pinout/ And the LCD's LED input pin to 3.3V I activated the spi-add-cs1 overlay in arbian-config I copied the dts for opiZ into ~/ili9341/ili9341-touch-double-spi-cs.dts Then, I executed: cd ili9341 armbian-add-overlay ili9341-touch-double-spi-cs.dts Then, I rebooted, and my LCD just looks gray. My armbianEnv looks like this: verbosity=1 bootlogo=false console=both disp_mode=1920x1080p60 overlay_prefix=sun8i-h3 overlays=spi-add-cs1 tve usbhost2 usbhost3 rootdev=UUID=7d9a7016-73db-4f9c-a5bd-e3e5ab53ffc4 rootfstype=ext4 user_overlays=ili9341-touch-double-spi-cs usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u my armbianmonitor -u: https://paste.armbian.com/arogurekiv I am still not done checking against the experiences with Bpi M2-0, but I ask here: anyone has experience with ILI9341+XPT2046, in either OrangePi Zero or Zero 3? Should I downgrade to Linux 6.1.53?

I get it, that Debian Minimal comes without armbian-config, but it is the first time I can't install it with "sudo apt install armbian-config"

I tried the orangepizero image from https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizero/Bookworm_current_minimal (Bookworm, Linux 6.6.44) and wifi didn't work Then I tried the image from https://armbian.tnahosting.net/archive/orangepizero/archive/Armbian_24.2.1_Orangepizero_bookworm_current_6.6.20_minimal.img.xz (bookworm, Linux 6.6.20) and wifi worked again Then I did apt update+upgrade, the kernel upgraded to 6.6.31, and the wifi connection was still working Result of armbianmonitor -u: https://paste.armbian.com/irowedahuc ^ In case someone needs a reference of how it should work I will try the 6.6.44 image again v Below is the result of the Bookworm 6.6.44 image https://paste.armbian.com/odeyapojal Also: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down It is also missing armbian-config: sudo apt install armbian-config [sudo] password for roberto: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package armbian-config Then, when I tried the image from https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizero/Noble_current_server (on August 24), then Wifi works armbian-config and nmtui are included in this image, and it has a new option: Radio Here's the result of armbianmonitor -u : https://paste.armbian.com/erofizifam I will continue working with Ubuntu Server, instead of Debian Minimal

Did you try this?

Post the model of the led-matrix and its user manual. Does it give any feedback on the SPI port? Is the example script able to detect errors? Re-check all the cables Try the things tried in these threads: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/29657-orange-pi-zero-2-and-spi-ili9341-touchscreen-fbtft-legacy-kernel-partial-success/#comment-169775 https://forum.armbian.com/topic/41365-orange-pi-zero-2w-overlay-i2c-spi-help/#comment-195256

Add to the test: "iperf3 -s" in the orange pi "iperf3 -c nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn -t 0" from a PC in the LAN

Frank, Not the SSH password. The SSH KEY, which is a piece of information that the client uses to verify that the server is really the server you expect, not a new impostor. The SSH password lets the server know that YOU are who you say you are. For docker, don't try to put the whole OS in an external USB SSD. The OS in microSD card is the most reliable way to do it. Then, you can use an external USB SSD for all your Docker images and containers. How was it ever working with Docker? Orange Pi Zero has 256 or 512MB RAM.

When you reinstall an OS in the server (or SBC in your case), the SSH will complain that it is not using the same crypto key, for cybersecurity reasons. Usually, SHH will suggest what you do to erase the ssh key and allow you to connect with a new SSH key. Use a serial-usb adapter, to test whether your orange pi zero doesnt have your original problem.

Try it with a new image, new SD, with new Linux kernel version too. I have an orangepizero and it works better with Linux 6.x

From the Amazon and page, it looks like the lcd panel have a digitizer chip (instead of bare connection to the panel’s analog XY outputs, like others). Can you see the model of that chip U2? definitely needs a second SPI interface in the orange pi, or bitbanging.

Instead of replacing with your kernel deb, try modifying the linux config to have what you want. Sometime ago, I made instructions just for this, but for the orange pi zero https://github.com/robertojguerra/orangepi-zero-full-setup/blob/main/README2.md (warning, these instructions refer to a old kernel version) Look for the part that explains the "Change kernel configuration"

Darriy, thank you I tried it but it didn't work... did you install more packages related to WPA or encryption?

Here's a discussion about how sysfs is deprecated and you should be using gpiod (libgpiod)

Plug in another usb-serial device, see what happens in that case

Probably no dtbo will be needed. Find the 5 pins in your orange pi, that would be contacted by the hat, and try to control them with the Python code here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/33800-orange-pi-zero-3-gpio/?do=findComment&comment=181191 if that lorahat software is open source, then change that source code to point to the correct pin addresses

Please, can you share your hostapd.conf (minus the ssid and keys of course) I am running into other problems, but I am glad that others are getting hostapd working 👍

After the usb4-1 lines, you should have seen cdc_acm something You can check that you have the acm driver with: zcat /proc/config.gz|grep ACM you should see config_usb_acm=m Have you tried: ls /dev/ttyUSB* ? When you see the ttyACM*, you should get the by-serial files appear automatically (devrules function)

OrangePi has this analog audio figured out: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepiwiki/index.php/Orange_Pi_Zero_2W#Headphone_interface_audio_playback_test http://www.orangepi.org/orangepiwiki/index.php/Orange_Pi_Zero_3#Headphone_jack_playback_audio_test

Go and see the LibreElec project... find the image for Orange Pi PC. That's the OS that works with Orange Pi Zero. I think Cedrus for video codec is for the H2/H3 specifically... I dont know about H616/8. Wiki says that the codec hardware is not available in Linux http://www.orangepi.org/orangepiwiki/index.php/Orange_Pi_Zero_3

Is there something specially difficult about SPI versus I2C? Luckily, my servo controller I plan to use with my opiz3 is I2C, but I was hoping to use an SPI LCD too in the future. Is there an spi-overlay option in armbian-config? https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12571-opi-win-how-to-steering-rgb-led-apa106/

I returned to checking on my opiz3, and saw that there's a kernel update available... with related updated dtb's I will hold off from updating, and test it first in my non-production opiz3

https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-3/ Now it links to an OS image made on February 22. Try the non GUI image, and see if it makes a difference. See if the difference is with 802.11b, g or n Current and older releases: https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/tag/24.5.0-trunk.58 https://github.com/armbian/community/releases

I am using the armbian bookworm for Opiz3 from February 15 with zero problems. Are you using this image?
