I can't build it from GitHub, or rather I've built it but it doesn't work because the kernel headers don't seem to match and it can't be loaded. I guess you have to compile the entire kernel with this module 🙂 ..uppss sudo modprobe v4l2loopback insmod /lib/modules/6.12.35-current-sunxi64/updates/v4l2loopback.ko insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/6.12.35-current-sunxi64/updates/v4l2loopback.ko: Invalid module format

sudo apt install v4l2loopback-dkms Czytanie list pakietów... Gotowe Budowanie drzewa zależności... Gotowe Odczyt informacji o stanie... Gotowe v4l2loopback-dkms is already the newest version (0.12.7-2). 0 aktualizowanych, 0 nowo instalowanych, 0 usuwanych i 8 nieaktualizowanych. root@orangepi3-lts:~# sudo modprobe v4l2loopback modprobe: FATAL: Module v4l2loopback not found in directory /lib/modules/6.12.35-current-sunxi64

Can we count on adding a module to the future kernel... I mean: v4l2loopback 🙂

Remote backup maybe only as data ... e.g. restic / rsync programs In my opinion it is best to make a backup of the SD card in linux connect miniSD card and make a backup in terminal: fdisk -l if your SD card is: sda / sda1.... then choose sda ! and then make a backup: dd if=/dev/sda of=/path_to_backup.img status=progress Restoring the image to the SD card with the same size: dd bs=4M if=/path_to_copy.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress If you want to burn the image to a smaller capacity SD card because, for example, the system is only 30% occupied, use the program:PiShrink https://github.com/Drewsif/PiShrink it works great for me for Armbian 🙂 sudo pishrink.sh /path_to_backup.img / /new_backup-Pishrink.img

I tried to set the I2C interface with the armbian-config option but it doesn't work because it writes to the file: armbianEnv.txt .... overlays=sun50i-h6-i2c0 sun50i-h6-i2c1 sun50i-h6-i2c2 and it didn't work on my OrangePi3LTS and it doesn't start the i2C service on startup? but when I enter it manually: overlays=i2c0 i2c1 i2c2 then the i2c service works with my 40x2 LCD 🙂 ...is this a bug and if so can it be fixed? is the option: armbian-config still compatible with my OrangePi3 LTS?

maybe add manually in the file /boot/armbianEnv.txt the entry: overlays=i2c0 i2c1 i2c2

I have a question, does anyone know a method to start in the Opi Lite system the I2S audio interface and in particular I mean the module: PCM5102 / PCM5102a On my old OrangePi Lite board, sound and audio in the configuration as mentioned above really work great ... but unfortunately the Armbian system that I use is no longer supported. This is the Ubuntu version (xenial) and kernel: 3.4.113-sun8i, I managed to update some programs important to me, e.g. mpd / mpc but not to the latest versions. I also have another version of OrangePI 3 LTS and I know that on this model it is rather impossible to start I2S + PCM5102 so I used a good sound card under USB and it is OK. However, I think that it should be possible on the Pi Lite? so far I have tried such a howto ... but without success. armbian-add-overlay sun8i-h3-I2S-out.dts entry in the file sun8i-h3-I2S-out.dts : /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3"; fragment@0 { target-path = "/"; __overlay__ { pcm5102a: pcm5102a { #sound-dai-cells = <0>; compatible = "ti,pcm5102a"; pcm510x,format = "i2s"; }; }; }; fragment@1 { target = <&i2s0>; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; pinctrl-0 = <&i2s0_pins>; sound-dai = <&pcm5102a>; pinctrl-names = "default"; }; }; fragment@2 { target-path = "/"; __overlay__ { sound_i2s { compatible = "simple-audio-card"; simple-audio-card,name = "I2S-master"; simple-audio-card,mclk-fs = <256>; simple-audio-card,format = "i2s"; status = "okay"; simple-audio-card,cpu { sound-dai = <&i2s0>; }; simple-audio-card,codec { sound-dai = <&pcm5102a>; }; }; }; }; }; and an additional entry in the armbianEnv.txt file : user_overlays=sun8i-h3-I2S-out I once did it according to another tutorial but it was on the old Ubuntu Xenial system https://www.dimdim.gr/2016/12/orange-pi-one-lite-as-music-streamers-part-2/ It would be useful to update the system and kernel after a dozen or so years 🙂

i2s doesn't work on my OrangePi lite either...oops

I checked again and the latest stable version works correctly with OrangePi3 -LTS also the I2C interface for my 40x2 LCD is version: Armbian_23.11.1_Orangepi3-lts_bookworm_current_6.1.63. https://k-space.ee.armbian.com/archive/orangepi3-lts/archive/ regards

Every rational user knows exactly what it's about... after all, no one will spend their time updating and improving the firmware for every piece of equipment, even if it's only from OrangePi. Unless you're a retiree and have a lot of time and willingness and a sharp mind... oopsss 🙂 Or maybe some other form of help could be used instead of the so-called help from the community (which probably means no one) from the forum? For example, a form of payment for a specialist, developer to adjust or update a specific piece of equipment/model, e.g. OrangePi3-LTS in the form of a progress bar of payments for a given model? ... I wonder if there are people willing to use this form of help... So a proverbial fundraiser for a specific model? Ps. I found a version for OrangePi3-lts with an old, properly working kernel: 15.16.17.7 ... but Debian is already a bookworm https://github.com/silver-alx/sbc/releases

In my opinion, if someone is looking for the orangepi platform as an audio video player, it is better not to use the OrangePi3-LTS version. I searched the internet for some information about this model and I will honestly say that it is tragic 😞 I am currently using the above-mentioned Pi-3-LTS model as an internet radio and I will say that I managed to set almost everything correctly except for the I2S interface, which is why I could not connect the module: PCM5102 (DAC) But you can easily use an audio card under USB and it is OK also as a DAC (32bit). So as an internet radio, the OrangePi3-LTS is OK, if you could run I2S it would be PERFECT.....but this OrangePi model as an audio video player is currently and looking at the internet it is generally a bad solution, it is better to look for something else and preferably a model supported by Armbian developers! 🙂 I use the official OrangePi firmware version for internet radio, not Armbian! because on this old version almost everything works, including the I2C interface for LCD 16x2 / 40x2 Ps. How to configure such a radio I described a bit on the Polish Ubuntu forum ... but this is a tutorial in Polish 🙂 more information LINK LINK2 regards

OK ... but the fact remains that the official version of OrangePi works OK ... and the latest Armbian is nothing but trouble, precisely because there is no longer support from Armbian developers, only from the community on the forum. So I recommend this older firmware from 2022 on OrangePi3 LTS because it works properly. It's great to know that it's still a version of Armbian from years ago 🙂 Ps. I checked I2C with my 40x2 lcd and the kernel probably doesn't work? ...lots of errors on these community Firmware ...

Orange pi 3 LTS is not supported by Armbian developers but only by the forum community ... so do not count on super correct operation of this model and Armbian firmware, it is probably better to use the official FW from OrangePi for now, although the versions are not updated often and the last ones are from 2022. However, they work well, although I do not have high requirements for this model because I use it as an internet radio 🙂

I was looking for information about lirc because I use mpd / mpc / LCD and the mpd / mpc program is controlled by the lircrc file. I think I found a solution for the mce / rc6 remote control because for the radio remote control medion x10 ( or24v / or28v ) selecting driver : atilibusb ... the remote control works OK However, you have to use the ir-keytable program + program : triggerhappy maybe someone will find this information useful. more information: Configuring an Infrared Remote Control to Control mpd/ mpc (without needing LIRC)
