Good day everyone, I am running into some issue while trying to update packages on my Nano Pi Neo Plus 2, I am currently running Armbian 23.02.2 Buster with Linux 5.15.93-sunxi64 on the board. I am trying to update my packages with apt-update however the error I am receiving back is the following: E: The repository 'http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt buster Release' no longer has a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. Can someone help me out to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Tried installing Armbian_23.11.1_Nanopineoplus2_jammy_current_6.1.63.img and it is super slow during first boot process regardless of SD type. Localization craps out with "Failed to set time zone: Transport endpoint is not connected". I boot with wired Ethernet and when I get to a prompt I can ping outside locations. apt update produces "Hash Sum mismatch" Anyways, doing my part testing legacy boards, hahahaha

Hello, I am trying to use my NanoPi neo Plus 2 rev 1.2 board as KVM with help of (kvmd-armbian) and USB-HDMI capture card and USB-A to USB-A cable as OTG for emulation of Keyboard and mouse as HID. I discoverred that If I install "Armbian 23.02 Jammy with Kernel 5.15.y" like the install script from srepac/kvmd-armbian recommends, updated it and installed the srepac/kvmd-armbian piKVM, it installed properly and it is working BUT to my OTG USB HID connection to work I had to convert sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo-plus2.dtb to sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo-plus2.dts and in there find "dr_mode" and change it to peripheral (or otg) to get my HID OTG input to work which is working BUT my USB-HDMI Capture card (ID 534d:2109 MacroSilicon) is not working BECAUSE i discoverred that If i plug the capture card into my NanoPi neo Plus 2`s USB port (Closer to ethernet port because further from the ethernet port that is OTG as USB-A (OTG is not Micro-USB as many sources claims on the web)) I have USB 1.1 speeds but the card is detected as USB 2.0 (which it is). in lsusb there it is as 12M the Macrosilicon HDMI to USB capture card. If I list lshw the the USB hubs are shown and usbhost:7 is where under it is my USB Video HDMI Capture card and it shows 1.1 speed for the host but 2.0 speed for the card: No power issue, tried it with powered USB Hub and the result is same. No Hardware issue because The whole setup is working on different (outdated) Arch image from https://github.com/Yura80/os/releases (v2-hdmiusb-generic-aarch64-nanopi-neo2.img) I am connecting my system diagnosis information via armbianmonitor -u https://paste.armbian.com/acoxifotik I am uploaded my .dts file, I assuming this is somehow wrong bacuse it should not be possible to USB host worked on USB1.1 speed and registerring that the USB-HDMI capture card is USB2.0, and it is working on one Image and not working on other. My Question is What shoul I edit, install / uninstall / reinstall, to be able to properly use my NanoPi neo Plus 2 USB with USB2.0 speeds and use my USB-HDMI Capture card without any issue ???? Sincerely, thank you for help. sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo-plus2.dts

Hi, I try to install Armbian Bulleye on my Nanopi Neo Plus 2. Well it completed the install, but when it reboot, I keep getting kernel panic. I try installing with the official Friendly Arm image (kernel 4.14 though) and it was fine (both on SD card and EMMC). Below is the serial console dump, also it seems to crash in random places too. Any help will be greatly appreciated. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= PuTTY log 2022.12.09 21:53:09 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= U-Boot SPL 2022.07-armbian (Nov 30 2022 - 10:43:13 +0000) DRAM: 1024 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 NOTICE: BL31: v2.6(debug):af220ebb-dirty NOTICE: BL31: Built : 10:43:08, Nov 30 2022 NOTICE: BL31: Detected Allwinner H5 SoC (1718) NOTICE: BL31: Found U-Boot DTB at 0x209af70, model: FriendlyARM NanoPi NEO Plus2 INFO: ARM GICv2 driver initialized INFO: Configuring SPC Controller NOTICE: PMIC: Assuming H5 reference regulator design INFO: BL31: Platform setup done INFO: BL31: Initializing runtime services INFO: BL31: cortex_a53: CPU workaround for 855873 was applied INFO: BL31: cortex_a53: CPU workaround for 1530924 was applied INFO: PSCI: Suspend is unavailable INFO: BL31: Preparing for EL3 exit to normal world INFO: Entry point address = 0x4a000000 INFO: SPSR = 0x3c9 U-Boot 2022.07-armbian (Nov 30 2022 - 10:43:13 +0000) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner H5 (SUN50I) Model: FriendlyARM NanoPi NEO Plus2 DRAM: 1 GiB Core: 69 devices, 20 uclasses, devicetree: separate WDT: Not starting watchdog@1c20ca0 MMC: mmc@1c0f000: 0, mmc@1c10000: 2, mmc@1c11000: 1 Loading Environment from FAT...

Sorry for the minimal info provided in this report but, due to the possible data corruption which the bug may cause, I'm not willing to reproduce this again on my board which runs in production. One week ago, I experienced data corruption happening on the nanopi. Actually it was some time (more than one month) that I saw the board acting weird: - long ssh transfers would sometime brake (via https://github.com/dooblem/bsync) - `apt update` reported invalid keys for the official armbian repository - on rare occasions, the board would freeze (not respond to ssh, requiring manual power cycle) After experiencing data corruption, I though the board was broken but decided to switch to the legacy image via `armbian-config` as a last resort. When running `armbian-config` and selecting "Other" to switch kernel, the kernel crashed. I tried again and I was successful. With the legacy image `5.4.88-sunxi64 #21.02.3` the board works great, and all the reported issues do not occur any more. So it seems like there is a bug in the "current" image (it should be version 5.15.25), possibly in a module linked to the encryption. This is all the info I can provide for this report. Hope it helps

gpio load i2c modprobe: FATAL: Module i2c-sunxi not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.111 By looking at example of WiringPI (for Raspberry), I tried the above command, result is shown. I'm newbie, so I need to figure out how to send commands via i2c to an external device. But first, how do I even enable i2c on Neo Plus2? Or is it enabled on default? I saw on this forum suggestion to add: a line "overlays=i2c0 i2c1" in /boot/armbianEnv.txt However, my boot directory is full, so and I get error 514 whenever I try to add anything to armbianEnv.txt (which is empty) Here's disk usage: I added 10K pull up resistors between Pin #1 SYS_3.3V and Pin #3 I2C0_SDA / GPIOA12 and Pin #5 I2C0_SCL / GPIOA11. Result of i2cdetects: However, when I tried to output from I2C0_SCL pin the following: sudo i2cset -y 3 0x30 255 (writes the byte value 255 to the I2C device at address 30 hex on the i2c-3 bus) And I was checking with scope the pins I2C0_SDA and I2C0_SCL, and nothing was shown there, other than 3.3V. Also, I'm not sure where bus 3 is, I mean don't pins I2C0_SDA and I2C0_SC correspond bus to i2c-3? There are no other pins for other I2c buses...

Can someone post the printenv for a NEO PLUS2 because i think i f*** up my device and doesn't boot from SD or USB .... the only i get is the boot menu. Or any ideas to help me to fix this ?

Dear maintainers, I have my sensors configured to reboot every night via a user cronjob (0 0 * * * /sbin/reboot), 14 sensors do this without a problem. I've fixed the nanopi neo+2 reboot from NAND some months ago (by re-using friendlyarm first stage u-boot). I just stumbled upon a failed reboot with one of my nanopi neo+2 nodes, after two successful reboots. Looking at the /var/log.hdd/syslog, it got stuck in the shutdown procedure when the watchdog reported a failure. The /var/log.hdd/syslog.1 extracts below show the start of the watchdog, and the stop of the watchdog and its failure. After the failure the system doesn't come up anymore, it needed a powercycle, which is quite inconvenient since it is installed at a hard to access remote location.

Hello, I have a NanoPi Neo Plus 2 I used to run Ubuntu Core on it but i wanted to switch out as i had less storage space available 4.7gb out of 8 and other issues as it was also out of date. I installed Armbian first on SD then on eMMC but the problem i am facing is that only 479mb of ram is available. Now in the first post on this board by Stanislav Sinyagin on July 18, 2017 it was stated that only 512 mb of ram was available but later on i saw posts of people with the whole 1Gb of ram being used. Due to the limited ram i get compilation problems among other things i am using this board headless as a server. i flashed all versions for download multiple times along with trying to compile a new 4.14 kernel like mention in the arch wiki but it just wouldn't boot. I have spent a few days trying to figure it out. It would be really helpful if someone could point me in the right direction. Thank You

Dear all, Starting from NAND memory used to work fine on the nanopi neo plus2, however with the new boards (both v1.2 and v2.0 revision) we just obtained it frequently doesn't want to reboot, while a cold boot works fine (I tried also earlier u-boot versions (2019.04, 2018.11) without much success for the reboot from NAND). The re-boot process stops at this point (from the serial console): [ OK ] Reached target Shutdown. [ 152.452083] reboot: Restarting system U-Boot SPL 2019.10-armbian (Jan 25 2020 - 19:56:27 +0100) DRAM: 1024 MiB Trying to boot from MMC2 I suspected the problem to be in the u-boot, since the friendlyarm on NAND reboots without a hitch. I found a work-around for the latest stretch image (Armbian_20.02.0-rc1_Nanopineoplus2_stretch_current_5.4.14.7z), by doing the following: boot friendlyarm image from NAND and copy the sunxi-spl.bin: sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk2 of=sunxi-spl-friendlyarm.bin count=4 bs=8k skip=1 boot armbian from NAND and update u-boot: switched to linux-image-next-sunxi64=5.90 kernel via armbian-config / System / Other / switch dd if=sunxi-spl-friendlyarm.bin of=/dev/mmcblk2 count=4 bs=8k seek=1 conv=fsync The atached armbianmonitor -u upload is from after a fresh reboot with the working configuration. Kind regards, Dennis

anyone running a neo+ 2. don't bother with neo2 image, it doesn't recognise emmc or wifi card the nanopi K1plus image works beautifully and supports both emmc and wifi module

Recently I wanted to give another try to a NanoPi NEO Plus2 but I noticed that it is marked as not supported and there is no Armbian Bionic image for it (the links in https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo-plus2/ return 404). So I checked about other FriendlyElec H5 boards: https://www.armbian.com/download/?tx_soc=h5&tx_maker=friendlyelec (I had to edit the URL as otherwise one cannot add multiple filters) And I picked the K1 plus as a close relative; the Bionic image seems working without any issue, I will keep testing and report back. The only minor issue that I could find so far is that htop will show 0 Mhz for all cores. I have reported in the past about issues with the 2nd USB however this is also not reproducible with the K1 plus image. May I suggest to add it at least as a testable image, with the proper tailoring? Other relevant thread:

Hi, I want to use g_ether on NanoPi Neo Plus2. For Neo Air, I have already figured out how to do this and I can see usb0 in config. But with armbian 5.85 (4.19.38-sunxi64), the same instructions fail at sudo ifconfig usb0 up with the message "usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device". Could somebody tell me how to activate USB OTG on NanoPi Neo Plus2 and then use g_ether. I think the same holds true for g_serial. This could be an alternative, but I would prever ethernet connection. My target: Connect NanoPi Neo Plus2 with NanoPi Neo Air via Ethernet Thank you for your help! Steps I followed for g_ether:

Hi, I'm using 4.19.57-sunxi64 on a NanoPi NEO Plus2 and I'm wondering if there's a way to change some USB configurations just like I'd do with the cmdline.txt file on a RPi? I want to do some testing with USB over IP and for that I'd like to tweak the usb modules for better performance, liability. My armbianEnv.txt is as follows: Thanks in advance!

Hi, I just got a NanoPi Neo Plus2 for which I must prepare an image for our software. Basically I must have a working Ethernet-over-USB, Wifi and NIC. I started with your current Debian image compiled with uses Armbian v8.75 and Linux kernel v4.19.20. In this image Wifi works, but loading the g_ether module does not seem to work. I assume I need to patch the kernel to make this happen, which means I need to build my own images. So I created a Virtualbox environment as described in the documentation, and compiled an image with all the defaults (apart from a date-tag I add to the kernel name for identification). I installed the image to the eMMC and booted. In this image there is no wifi interface and g_ether also does not work. The armbianmonitor output for my new image is attached to this query (http://ix.io/1H9v), but I also created an armbianmonitor output for your Debian image (http://ix.io/1H9u) in which the Wifi interface does appear. Wifi: Comparing the dmesg output, it is obvious that firmware fails to load into the AP6212 wifi unit on my image. I've downloaded and installed firmware from several sites (official and other) to try and fix, but nothing solves the problem. Any ideas? Is this a regression in the Linux kernel (4.19.20 -> 4.19.36)? OTG: Configuration of the USB-OTG for the Ethernet-over-USB gadget is usually done in the DTS files on ARM processors (I think - a bit rusted). I've noticed that there are several patches applied to the kernel from other boards such as the OrangePi, so maybe someone already has a patch for another H5 based board which will work for the NanoPiNeo+2? Regards, LJB

Hi, I am new here and searched the forums for an answer to my questions regarding the NanoPi NEO2 and NEO Plus2. Most answers I could find, but a few were left open. The NEO Plus2 is marked as WIP. Why? What do I have to expect not to work? Both boards are similarly old, from what I could find. Will the Plus2 move up to "supported" eventually or does it currently more look like the route is going towards CSC? Do common features like GPIO access, SPI, I2C ... work with current images? Do specific features where the Plus2 differs from the NEO2 like WiFi, Bluetooth, ... work? I already found out, that the second USB port should work fine. If someone could answer one ore all of those questions that would be much appreciated. Also if you have any other input towards rather buying one or the other SBC, that would be great. Thank you! Frank

Hi, I got one of those cheap 300Mbps wifi dongles with 8192EU chip How can we enable this in Armbian? Only lsusb has the following https://ibb.co/gYxyYT

Hello. Has anybody tried to encode h264 on h5 via ffmpeg cedrus264? any help would be appropriated. thanks in advnace.

I noticed the Neo+ 2 has a blue LED: line 10: unnamed "nanopi:green:pwr" output active-high [used] line 20: unnamed "nanopi:blue:status" output active-high [used] It's not doing the heartbeat flash like the NanoPi Duo. uname -a Linux nanopineoplus2 4.14.15-sunxi64 #95 SMP Wed Jan 24 10:55:45 CET 2018 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Hello, guys! I'm trying to make use of gpio-poweroff procedure. I'm trying to understand the consequences of the approach I've used. Here's what I did 1) Added power_ctrl: power_ctrl { compatible = "gpio-poweroff"; gpios = <&pio 6 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; force; }; to arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo-plus2.dts 2) Recompiled the device tree blob and put it where it belongs The gpio-poweroff's code got probed but failed due to `pm_poweroff_handler` being set to something. So I figured it out that it's set to `psci_sys_poweroff` in [drivers/firmware/psci.c](https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux/blob/sunxi-4.x.y/drivers/firmware/psci.c#L518). 3) I commented this line out 4) Rebooted with a new kernel and issued `poweroff` on command line 5) The GPIO was driven high as expected 6) The board is switched off by external circuitry I'm very eager to know if this is an OK thing to do on an embedded system? It seems like I do something nasty. The only reasonable approach that comes to mind is to use some kind of chain of callbacks with GPIO poweroff handler's priority set to low. So that I could toggle GPIO and then use the PSCI logic to properly shutdown. But the RFC with this approach got rejected and nobody seems to be stepping in. Another solution is to make an ugly hack in gpio-poweroff.c and save the old callback to a variable and call it after gpio toggled. So what do you guys think?

I am trying to setup a 5ghz access point on D-Link DWA-171(according to wikidevi, it's 8811au) + NanoPI NEO PLUS2. I use the testing armbian image with latest update. The hostapd can enable the 802.11a 5ghz AP mode with ht_enabled (but it says this chip doesn't support 802.11ac) I can see the SSID shows in the phone. If I try to connect it, it will fail and says the station is out of range. When the phone is trying to connect this AP, hostapd doesn't output any connection log even in debug mode. Also, although I set the channel to 40, the WIFI analyzer on the phone shows it is using 38. dmesg Hostapd config Hostapd log
