I recently switched from a Raspberry Pi 2 running Arch Linux to a Banana Pi (the original) running Armbian for music streaming using MPD. My output device is an XMOS-based Gustard U12 asynchronous USB transport feeding my DAC via AES/EBU. Using Armbian on the Banana Pi, all my 24-bit/192kHz music is being played back as 24/96, according to the display on the transport and DAC. All other sample rates (44.1, 88.2 etc.) are being played back in their native sample rates, as expected. Is ALSA on Armbian system-wide limited to 96 kHz? I have never had an issue like this before, and I don't know where to begin in regards to troubleshooting. I'm guessing that the audio is being passed through dmix, but I don't understand why it only happens to 24/192 content. The Banana Pi is using kernel 4.9.12, whereas my Raspberry Pi with Arch is using version 4.9.27. I'm using the following in my mpd.conf: audio_output { type "alsa" name "Gustard U12" device "hw:1,0" mixer_type "software" auto_resample "no" auto_channels "no" auto_format "no" use_mmap "yes" } I have also tried use_mmap "no", to no avail. EDIT: According to /proc/asound, it seems like the ALSA device is limited to 96kHz: $ cat /proc/asound/card1/stream0 XMOS xCORE USB Audio 2.0 at usb-1c1c400.usb-1, full speed : USB Audio Playback: Status: Running Interface = 1 Altset = 2 Packet Size = 224 Momentary freq = 44096 Hz (0x2c.1880) Feedback Format = 18.14 Interface 1 Altset 1 Format: S24_3LE Channels: 2 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000 Interface 1 Altset 2 Format: S16_LE Channels: 2 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000 Interface 1 Altset 3 Format: SPECIAL DSD_U32_BE Channels: 2 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000 But how can that be, when it works just fine on a different distro? Could it be the USB port falling back to USB 1.1 speeds for some reason? Can I check that somehow? EDIT²: Okay, my USB 1.x theory turned out to be correct - the cable was the culprit. When switching to the Banana Pi, I also switched to a shorter cable which apparently was an ancient USB 1.x cable. After replugging the old cable, everything is fine and 192kHz works as expected. Now the proc output also says "high speed" instead of "full speed": $ cat /proc/asound/card1/stream0 XMOS xCORE USB Audio 2.0 at usb-1c1c000.usb-1, high speed : USB Audio Playback: Status: Running Interface = 1 Altset = 2 Packet Size = 28 Momentary freq = 44097 Hz (0x5.8318) Feedback Format = 16.16 Interface 1 Altset 1 Format: S32_LE Channels: 2 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000 Data packet interval: 125 us Interface 1 Altset 2 Format: S16_LE Channels: 2 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000 Data packet interval: 125 us Interface 1 Altset 3 Format: SPECIAL DSD_U32_BE Channels: 2 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000 Data packet interval: 125 us

Hello, I want to use the Banana Pi for VDR and need a dvb device - Geniatech T230 for example. Therefore I need i2c_mux enabled. On the 8. May 2017 I created a sd-card-image with your tool (virtualbox, ubuntu and "git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib --depth 1"), everything works fine. :-) But I forget to enable the remote controller adapter in the kernel... O.k., I started to rerun all the things and created a new sd-card-image. But the network is out of funktion. :-( The system doesn't reach the dhcp-server. The network with a static ip-adress is out of function, too. Anything was changed on the system, wasn't it? The network is out of function even when I don't change anything at the kernel config while building the new image. Please, help me... My second solution was: I took my first generated sd-card-image and installed only the kernel (compiled with your tool under virtualbox...) - i2c_mux enabled - installed with dpkg -i linux-image-sun7i_5.27_armhf.deb && dpkg -i linux-headers-sun7i_5.27_armhf.de on the running system on the banana But when I compile the media-build, it breaks with an error... What have I to do, installing only the kernel in my second solution? And what is the problem with the network with a new sd-card-image? Thanks for your help Stefan P.s.: Sorry for my bad English, I'm still learning... patch -s -f -N -p1 -i ../backports/v4.6_i2c_mux.patch 1 out of 2 hunks FAILED Makefile:137: recipe for target 'apply_patches' failed make[2]: *** [apply_patches] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/media_build/linux' Makefile:383: recipe for target 'allyesconfig' failed make[1]: *** [allyesconfig] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/media_build/v4l' Makefile:26: recipe for target 'allyesconfig' failed make: *** [allyesconfig] Error 2 can't select all drivers at ./build line 501.

Hi, I installed the main line kernel for Banana Pi and connected a USB/Wifi dongle. The device connects correctly to the wireless network but becomes unreachable after a while. When the issue occures and I try to ping the device, it answers the first ping and then becomes unreachable, via Wifi interface but also via the ethernet interface. I can wait for an hour or so, then I can do a ping (only one) then the device becomes unresponsive. I have to restart the device (power on/off) in order to be able to connect via ssh, but I can work for a few minutes only, then network goes down again. I don't have a screen to connect to the HDMI so difficult to know what's going on inside It looks like a driver issue but I'm not sure... Any idea on how to debug this? Thank you, JM

The following wifi dongle does not work with legacy kernel: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Gent's currently I run Igor's Debian Image on a BananaPi (kernel 3.4.105). I want to add the wifi driver for Ralink_RT5527. What is to do? Here my thoughts, - install header's - pull sunxi-kernel - copy config from running kernel - make menuconfig - add the driver - make correct ? Regards

Hello everyone! I have Banana Pi and installed Ubuntu desktop Xenial 4.9.12. I have a USB wifi stick and Ubuntu recognizes , and USB works well. The problem is when I try to set my Banana Pi as an access point, then we Ubuntu reported to have root privileges. How to get root privileges in Ubuntu Xfce graphical environment? How to stop autologin before lifting graphic Xfce desktop, and to ask for the root password? Please help, and thank you in advance

Hi, I read the docs but could not find out what to download to get a headless server. Getting Started says: "mainline: headless server, light desktop operations" In mainline there are 2 downloads for server (Debian, Ubuntu) and one for desktop (Ubuntu). I do not need a desktop, thus I do not want to waste space, RAM and CPU on anything related to it. May I ask, what to download or if there is no headless version what to do to remove the desktop-features alltogether? Thank you very much. Stephan

Hi, I have a question regarding the new Banana Pi (A20) boot script created in Armbian 5.25. Many months ago I switched my roots from the SDCard to the sata disk using the sata-nand-install script, after that I used to switch between SD and HDD and vice versa, mostly for maintenance operations on the HDD (sometime the system gets corrupted and I have to restore the HDD partition with e2fsck from the SD). Until Armbian 5.20 I used to edit the boot.cmd file pointing to the desired root device, recompile the boot.scr and then the system were loaded from the desired partition. Now with Armbian 5.25 I'm not sure which file I have to edit to do the same, boot.cmd or ArmbianEnv.txt? I've tried both but the boot didn't seem to be right and I don't understand if it's because my HDD is dead or because I badly edited the new boot script. Could someone help me please? Thanks!

Hey there, I am a long time user of your armbian operating system. It is great, I am using it for a simple home NAS system. But I have found one problem with armbian, which is very annoying: My standard Banana Pi keeps loosing the HDD Ive connected over Sata. It is a 3,5" Seagate Barracude 3TB drive formated as Ext4. It gets 5V and 12V power and runs quite perfect, as long as it has something to do. It spins up and down as I configured it. But when I leave the pi for a longer time period unattended (no workload), and the harddrive stays in spindown-mode too long, it wont identify the HDD anymore. The mount point and the /dev/sda are gone. I need to powercycle the whole system to get everything back up. Things I tried: fresh armbian, with fresh formated drive -> same problem fresh armbian, with another drive (WD green) -> same problem I noticed this problem quite a while a go, but never got to posting it. Hope somebody has an answer. Thanks in advance

I had successfully installed openCV for armbian using instructions from this page: http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/10/26/how-to-install-opencv-3-on-raspbian-jessie/ I also highly recommend Adrians's openCV tutorials. happy openCV-ing Mladen

HI, i get the failure "***warning - bad CRC, using default environment" and the system don't boot. I tested it with an banana pi, cubieboard2 and olimex A20 Olinux Lime2 and all the same failure. Of course with the specific image. I flashed the image with ubuntu 14.04 lts (no virtual maschine) with dd bs=1M if=filename.raw of=/dev/sdb. I using the direkt letter of the drive sdb and not the specific partition sdb1. The windows flash tool dont works, i get an error when click on "copy", whats that, missing framework? What i make wrong?

hi, since 2 days i am using on my Banana Pi the Debian Jessie with 4.8.15 Kernel with installed Openmediavault 3. The system is working stable, but the network-performance is less then my older Installation based on Debian Wheezy with Openmediavault 2. I tried change the MTU-Size to 9000 and overcklocking up to 1.2 GHz, booth is not possible. I don´t know why ? For the setting the MTU-Size i edited /etc/network/interfaces and added the value "mtu 9000" -> no effects I tried set the MTU over the OMV WebGUI under network settings -> no effects. ifconfig shows me MTU=1500 Booth ways was at Debian Wheezy possible. At Debian Wheezy i had overclock the CPU up to 1.2 Ghz. The system was stable 1 year. For this i edited the files from cpufrequtils (/sys/device/system...........) At the new system i can edit the values, but after them the values will be reset to standard values. I found many many manuals in the internet, but is´nt working. Can you help me? Step by step.......... ;-) I´m sorry for my englisch, i´m from poland, in the school i had to learn russian ................. :-((((

Hi guys, I tried to disable console output on uart0 using this guide https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Fine-Tuning/#how-to-toggle-boot-output But I still get boot output on uart0. Problem is, that I'm using uart0 for a java application. Java application crashes a few seconds after starting. I got the hint, that I should disable console output on this port, to make it working. See here: http://pi4j.com/example/serial.html I think that's the problem, because if I unplug my serial device from uart0, java app doesn't crash. I'm using Banana Pi. Kernel is Verison 4.8.12. Armbian is Jessie 5.24 with desktop. How can I disable the output? Yours, Martin

Help please! I have a bp2 which was bought almost a year ago, and use Armbian_5.14_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_3.4.112.raw as the image for couple of months. Today, I'm try to upgrade to the Armbian_5.14_Bananapi_Ubuntu_xenial_4.6.2.raw image, but the pi can't boot at all. What I do to prepare the sdcard with the following procedure: 1. remote the old partitation, and create a new fat32 partitation 2. dd bs=1M if=Armbian_5.14_Bananapi_Ubuntu_xenial_4.6.2.raw of=/dev/sdc; and sync 3. mark the written partitation as bootable with fdisk ps: I'm using fish shell, and the syntax for the dd command is valid So, what's wrong with my steps? How can I troubleshoot? Thanks in advance.

I know the A20 isn't really build for OC, but I would still like to do some tests with it running at 1008Mhz. As far as I understand Kernel 4.X doesn't use the fex files anymore, but rely on the dts (dtsi) files. I edited sun7i-a20-bananapi.dts &cpu0 { cpu-supply = <&reg_dcdc2>; operating-points = < /* kHz uV */ 1008000 1425000 960000 1400000 912000 1400000 864000 1350000 720000 1250000 528000 1150000 312000 1100000 144000 1050000 >; }; I made sure the build script doesn't overwrite the edited dts file. But BananaPi still says the max freq is 960 instead of 1008. root@bananapi:/tmp# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 960000 I even double checked boot/dtb-4.8.12-sunxi/sun7i-a20-bananapi.dtb with device tree compiler to see if the values I set are there. The hexadecimal matches, so I don't understand why I can't get it working. cpu@0 { compatible = "arm,cortex-a7"; device_type = "cpu"; reg = <0x0>; clocks = <0x7>; clock-latency = <0x3b9b0>; operating-points = <0xf6180 0x15be68 0xea600 0x155cc0 0xdea80 0x155cc0 0xd2f00 0x149970 0xafc80 0x1312d0 0x80e80 0x118c30 0x4c2c0 0x10c8e0 0x23280 0x100590>; #cooling-cells = <0x2>; cooling-min-level = <0x0>; cooling-max-level = <0x6>; cpu-supply = <0x8>; linux,phandle = <0xb>; phandle = <0xb>; }; What am I missing?

Hi specialists, I'm trying to understand how the axp209 on Banana Pi works with the A20. In the Banana Pi schematics I see, that they are connected with only four lines. Two lines are used for I²C (TWSI), one is from axp209 PWROK to RESET# of A20 and another one is connected from axp209 IRQ and GPIO2 to NMI# of A20. When system is off and I press my Power Button (K1) on the Pi, the system is booting. System is running and I long press the Power Button, System shuts down. But can anyone say whats happening? What does axp209 do with IRQ, GPIO2 and PWROK pins? Wich way does the A20 recognize, that it has to shutdown? Yours Martin

Hello there. I am using ubuntu Xenial server on Banana pi. It has mysql, nginx, websites, and many programs and settings. I use it as a banana pi router. I used to use it as a server until now but now I got an hdmi to vga converter. Now I want to use Xfce. I installed xubuntu-desktop from the terminal. But the Xserver does not start because the GPU is not active. How do I activate the GPU without reinstalling? xorg err [ 14896.672] X.Org X Server 1.18.4 Release Date: 2016-07-19 [ 14896.673] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 14896.673] Build Operating System: Linux 4.2.0-42-generic armv7l Ubuntu [ 14896.673] Current Operating System: Linux server2 4.8.4-sunxi #6 SMP Sun Oct 23 15:55:47 CEST 2016 armv7l [ 14896.674] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rootfstype=ext4 cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 disp.screen0_output_mode=1920x1080p60 panic=10 consoleblank=0 enforcing=0 loglevel=7 [ 14896.675] Build Date: 14 September 2016 03:34:19PM [ 14896.675] xorg-server 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.1 (For technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support) [ 14896.675] Current version of pixman: 0.33.6 [ 14896.675] Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Hello there, hope you been able to give me a hand; I've downloaded and installed without problems the current Xenial server Vanilla distro on my Banana pi. Then I've tried installing iptables, but for some reason, everytime I execute 'sudo systemctl start iptables' I receive the following error message: Failed to start iptables.service: Unit iptables.service not found. I know that something has got installed, as iptables -L provides the expected output; however, any systemctl command for iptables (start, stop, enable, restart) fails with the message above. Certinaly, searching for 'iptables.service' at file system returns no matchs, so file is really missing. My understanding is that such file should be created during iptables deployment, am I right?. Any idea?. Most of the posts I've found at google on this topics are related to Fedora / Centos; also a few ones are related to PATH variable, but it doesn't seem to be my case. Please find below the whole installation / execution process: * sudo iptables -L sudo: iptables: command not found * sudo apt-get update * sudo apt-get install iptables * sudo iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination * sudo journalctl -r oct 26 18:43:40 sudo[3433]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root oct 26 18:43:40 sudo[3433]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by root(uid=0) oct 26 18:43:40 sudo[3433]: root : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/etc/systemd/system ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/iptables -L oct 26 18:43:27 sudo[2989]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root oct 26 18:42:55 sudo[2989]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by root(uid=0) oct 26 18:42:55 sudo[2989]: root : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/etc/systemd/system ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/apt-get install iptables oct 26 18:42:17 sudo[2796]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root oct 26 18:41:52 sudo[2796]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by root(uid=0) oct 26 18:41:52 sudo[2796]: root : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/etc/systemd/system ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/apt-get update * sudo systemctl start iptables Failed to start iptables.service: Unit iptables.service not found. * sudo find / -iname "iptables.*" /var/lib/dpkg/info/iptables.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/iptables.shlibs /var/lib/dpkg/info/iptables.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/iptables.triggers /usr/share/iptables/iptables.xslt /usr/share/man/man8/iptables.8.gz /usr/src/linux-headers-4.7.3-sunxi/include/config/ip6/nf/iptables.h /usr/src/linux-headers-4.7.3-sunxi/include/config/ip/nf/iptables.h * sudo systemctl status iptables â— iptables.service Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) * sudo journalctl -r oct 26 19:09:51 sudo[3580]: root : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/etc/systemd/system ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/systemctl start iptables oct 26 19:09:51 sudo[3580]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by root(uid=0) oct 26 19:09:51 sudo[3580]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root oct 26 19:11:45 sudo[3595]: root : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/etc/systemd/system ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/systemctl status iptables oct 26 19:11:45 sudo[3595]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by root(uid=0) oct 26 19:11:45 sudo[3595]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root Thanks a lot in advance, Antiel.

Hi Guys, a few weeks ago, I implemented a project wich reads the power sources of my Banana Pi. I was using /sys/power/axp_pmu/. I now made a new build to enable lcd display and such things. But now /sys/power/axp_pmu/ isn't there. Also can't find it anywhere in my system. Only /sys/power/{pm_async, pm_freeze_timeout, state, wakeup_count} Kernel of new build is 4.8.0 What have I to do, to get axp_pmu back? Martin
