Hi all, Igor: I wanted to say many thank you and congratulate for the awesome job you made with armbian! I have a little big problem: I'm using the BPI-R1 (a.k.a. Lamobo R1 Linux version 4.2.0-sunxi (root@kitchen) (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.2-16ubuntu4)) but out of the blue I got the well known problem of the RCP reset to the 1970. I followed the instructions reported here https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/issues/111#issuecomment-145634651 but I got some strange issues 1) If I plug my USB keyboard I cannot interrupt the boot process to get a shell before the kernel loads. 2) If I change my boot.cmd and update the boot.scr settings with verbosity=9 and init=/bin/fixme.sh it has no effect; it seems to load a "default/standard" boot.scr located somewhere (even if pre kernel boot says /boot/boot.scr loaded) 3) If I plug my uart/USB adapter I can get a shell, but after I follow the procedure described here https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/issues/111#issuecomment-147452433 RTC resets again Strange thing: I don't get the log of the kernel loading on the dmesg; it seems like it logs to the RAM and after it mounts the SD the system dump the log into the dmeseg. I think this doens't happen because it never mounts the SD card. the dump I'm attaching herein has been captured with my serial terminal which by now is the only way I can access my system. Relevant logs are: setenv - set environment variables Usage: setenv [-f] name value ... - [forcibly] set environment variable 'name' to 'value ...' setenv [-f] name - [forcibly] delete environment variable 'name' [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: [empty!!! I swear that here in the past I saw the envs var defined in the /boot/boot.cmd!!! maybe setenv usage is a hint about a failed setenv command?] [ 3.573034] sunxi-rtc 1c20d00.rtc: setting system clock to 1970-01-01 00:00:13 UTC (13) [ 3.607353] VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6 sorry to bother but I'm struggling after this issue since about two weeks and I don't know where I can begin to fix that... Tell me if I need to open an issue on github (I saw Igor closed the previous one so I didn't open a new one) many thanks! captureNoBootUART_wrongboot.txt boot.cmd.txt

Hello! I am tired of system freezing once in 1-2 days, and think the reason is heating (Board 49 degrees right now) so I decided to revert system back to SD and not use HDD at all, making system more stable by power and temperature. Please help me to do it - is there any revert script that I can run to move all data from HDD back to SD?

hi, I am th owner of a lamobo r1 card. Last days i'have tried more than 10 debian/bananian/ubuntu/raspian/openwrt image. Most of them work fine. Community image are often better than sinovoip one ... Unfortunatly, my sata HDD never work. I'm using a seagate 1TB SSHD. I currently using the armbian ubuntu image. At boot, the hdd spin up and stop, and ubuntu don't boot. If I remove the HDD everthing work fine. Anybody have a working hdd using the micro usb power port ? I use an ipad charger and a good one meter usb cable. Any help is greatly appreciated. If I should provide more details, please let me know Thanks agemio

Hello, just installed R1 image, solved power issues as described on this forum and now trying to configure it as classic home router. So I got a problem configuring DHCP server - system works in interfaces.r1 mode that means lan and wlan are bridged to wan. Wlan and Lan interfaces configured as manual that is not very handy, so I need to install DHCP server and make some NAT. And here goes a problem - I am not very skilled in linux networking and cant figure out how to combine NAT and R1 interfaces to get classical router behavior (externalDHCP-WAN-NAT192.168.0.1-internal DHCP-LAN and WLAN DHCP clients). Can someone give me directions? Maybe there is a way to install something like OpenWRT web-server where you can operate router's functions?

Hello I've just started struggling with Lamobo-R1 SATA problems and I'm facing the well-known bad customer service from SinoVoip. With the help of this forum I got finally the HD spinning but I've not seen anything yet related to hd-idle package. I'd like to know if anybody uses it and if the instructions on http://hd-idle.sourceforge.net/ are correct to recompile for the BPI-R1 board. As a matter of fact I'm stuck at the line saying "Run "dpkg...." Thanks! V.

Hi, i found some issues in the ubuntu and debian images. Maybe it is better to generate bug reports? _ubuntu_ * the boot console output at HDMI is interrupted, i dont see all messages. The console is back if the boot is complete and i see the login prompt. * the harddisk isnt working * at my lamobo board i found messages about usb resets * swconfig isnt generating interfaces like eth0.101 or eth0.102 * i put my swconfig under /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/swconfig, maybe this is the problem _debian_ * if i put my swconfig at /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/swconfig the eth0.101 and eth0.102 devices are generated, but no traffic can be send or received * the only working solution is to put the configuration at /etc/network/interfaces, but the lamobo needs 2 min to start Thanks con

The FAQ says the username is "root" and the password is "1234", but the password for the root user on at least the image in Lamobo-r1_Debian_3.2_jessie_4.1.2.zip is "pi" (apparently also the default bananian password). edit: nope, I'm just an idiot. The docs are right. Sorry! Don't see a way to delete this topic, but I would if I could.

The latest mainline u-boot + lamobo R1 patch does not appear to work when you try dhcp or ping on a Lamobo R1 (also known as Banana Pi R1) board. I wonder if the u-boot code needs to be modified to take care of the specifics of the GMAC/switch chip on a Lamobo R1 board. The defconfig for Lamobo R1 is the same as that for Banana Pi. Please shed some light to this issue. Thanks a lot. JLu

Hallo, first I want to thank Igor for the creation of armbian, great stuff! Many thanks. Now to my issue: While setting up a Lamobo R1 with armbian i was not able to get F-keys F1 to F4 working in Midnight Commander (apt-get install mc). With all three flavours (whezzy, jessie and trusty) it is the same. I tried dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration dpkg-reconfigure locales to get it working with my german (qwertz) keyboard. The behaviour is the same for local and remote (ssh). Tried also to bulid new image based on https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib with # user DEST_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" # sl_SI.UTF-8, en_US.UTF-8 CONSOLE_CHAR="UTF-8" # console charset TZDATA="Europe/Berlin" # time zone without any succsess. During setup of x86-machines as well as the Beaglebone Black with Debian or Ubuntu I never had this issue. Any hints? Michael

Hi All, after next collapse of our network I used the hammer to destroy the R1. This board is really shit and I will never ever continue with any kind of experiments with it. The reason is probably BCM chip. But I am not sure. Everything works well on the table, you can stress it as much you want , everything works well. But when you use it for real traffic, the board starts to collapse, unexpected restarts etc. I followed all recommendations of you, but without success. The question is ... Which board for router I have to use? Any ideas welcome. Petr P.S. If somebody wants R1 for home router/NAS (for home is ok), I have two available, the third ended up very bad way ..., let's say 20 euro/one incl. delivery ...

hallo, i downloaded debian jessy image with kernel 4.0.5 from there: http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Lamobo-r1_Debian_3.1_jessie_4.0.5.zipand installed it on bananapi. at first boot seems to be system self-autoconfigured and reboots. Now i see that /etc/network/interfaces is linked with interfaces.r1 and in /boot i found those files: config-4.0.5-lamobo-r1, System.map-4.0.5-lamobo-r1, vmlinuz-4.0.5-lamobo-r1. can it be that autoconfiguration has my bpi as router configured. How can i fix that manualy? nex question: on the boot i see one pinguine, but while bpi has 2 cores it shoul be 2 pinguins or not ? best regards Marijus

Hi All! I had the same problem with several different kind of wifi SoC-s on an R1 board, with different operating systems: wifi is slow and unreliable in AP mode. Both with integrated RTL8192CU, an external RTL8192EU, RT3570 and RT5370, various Atheros chipset based dongles - all of them is very slow. I had no any problem on single-eth BananaPi board, but i got less than 2mbit up/download speed on a 30mbit+ network... I tried several OpenWrt versions (official 1,2,3 and latest trunk), now i tested Igor's ubuntu with the same result: slow and lagging Do You have same experience? Or is it working fast? Any idea? Best regards, Peter

Hi All, Is here somebody, who use R1+SATA disk+wifi together? (with Igor's great debian with kernel 3.4.107) When I switch on wifi, everything seems to be ok. I live in highly interfered area, so performance is sometimes low, but everything works for several hours. After several hours my R1 gets frozen. Last log message is "DHCP ACK" from my wifi printer. The question is, can it be power issue? I have USB power meter and current sometimes exceed 1,5A, but voltage holds still above 5V. When I tested the board with OpenWRT, I had connected USB LTE modem to R1, wifi was switched on too, but system was stable. Another thing is that OpenWRT has a bug in wifi driver and wifi was unusable. Sooo, has somebody idea, how to investigate the problem? Where to begin? Any idea is welcome Thanks ...

Hello Igor and congrats for your contribution and regards to community! As the title points, is there any chance to create a Lubuntu image that will out of the box support all Pis (Banana Pi, Banana Pro, BPi-R1) with SATA, audio, networking and video acceleration? If it's too much, does anyone knows what OS is close to that requirements at least for BPi-R1? Or can we build something like this from scratch with your resources? I tried to create a new image based on LeMakers Lubuntu for Banana Pi (http://jubitoblog.blogspot.gr/2015/06/jubitos-z-operating-system-for-internet.html - http://jubitoblog.blogspot.gr/2015/02/jubitos-for-banana-pi.html) without much luck, on combine all in one. Any proposals are very welcome! Thanks

@dear Igior and others My R1 fw1 run fine past 2 month with the 3.19.3. now its time to move to 4.0.x Igor - many thanks for KERNEL_CONFIGURE at your scripting implementing . This shortcut my work with automated rebuild kernel an bit -- but not fully. I have the need to been able to push my own kernel .config into your https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib in an automated way. But how about to push an custom .config into that? welll ... My suggestion are here top add i.e at your compile.sh : KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG="/path/file" if file env set , use it instead from default patched kernel .config How you think about this Idea ?

Hello, All I'm trying to compile the ftdi_sio module using suggestions from http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/build-linux-kernel-module-against-installed-kernel-source-tree.html.

Hi all, I've one minor issue with my Lamobo R1. I've to set the coherent_pool to > 256KiB to get my USB DVB device working. But every time I set the coherent_pool to e.g. 2M and regenerate the boot.scr the device gets in an endless boot loop (starting uboot - starting kernel - changes resolution and starts to load drivers - but then crashes with graphic errors and starts all over again). Is there something I can do against this? I've compiled the v3.0 with Jessie 3.4.107 with following kernel paramters configured (and sunxi uboot v2015.04): MEDIA_SUPPORT=m VIDEO_DEV=m SOUND=m GMAC_FOR_BANANAPI=y CMA=y CMA_SIZE_MBYTES=16 Greetings, Oliver
