EDIT: I tried to plug it directly in router and speed is OK now. Weird, but it's fine now. Please close this topic. Hello, I just bought Orange Pi 3 LTS to set it up as small off-site backup using OMV and USB HDD. I installed Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi3-lts_bullseye_current_5.15.93.img on eMMC and installed OMV using armbian-config. I noticed SMB and FTP speeds are slow (around 90 Mbps) so I installed iperf to test it properly and speed is capped on 94 Mbps. I have gigabit switch and interface is connected with GE, if I plug the cable to other device, it works just fine. So there must be some issue on Orange Pi 3 LTS. I searched the internet and speed should be indeed higher with this device, so maybe there is something that needs to be configured? I tried to reboot and power cycle it, nothing helped, speed is always stucked on 94 Mbps. Anyone have idea, where might be the problem?

Hello everyone, I am new to the world of Orange Pi 3 LTS 1.4 and Armbian. I have very recently installed this os on my Orange, it turns out to work almost everything correctly except Wifi and bluetooth. It is really important for me to get Wifi working for various projects I have in mind and I find armbian very reliable and supported. When I try to connect the Network Manager interface returns: On the net I found various discussions about this but no real solution. Does this happen to you as well? It seems not to recognize the wifi chip. Below is the armbianmonitor: https://paste.armbian.com/iteheqokov NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE Wired connection 1 b8c3175c-4553-3687-b24b-637891fa2ca5 ethernet eth0 FASTWEB-QX8T8v db3814be-0944-404b-b223-580cd79febe4 wifi -- IN-USE BSSID SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY I thank you in advance.

Hello there, I am beyond my expertise (that which is already limited) have found a guide. Now the guide uses ili9486 so it was substitute it will ili9341 as well as the build they used official build am using Armbian_22.11.1_Orangepi3-lts_bullseye_current_5.15.80 and int with a new one found in the fbtft library. I also need to translate for Russian with chrome not their are photos of it working but all I get is a white screen. here is my version of the overlay. /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "xunlong,orangepi-3-lts","allwinner,sun50i-h6"; fragment@0 { target-path = "/aliases"; __overlay__ { spi0 = "/soc/spi@5010000"; spi1 = "/soc/spi@5011000"; }; }; fragment@2 { target = <&r_pio>; __overlay__ { spi1_cs1_pin: spi1_cs1_pin { pins = "PA8"; /* - real use PL8 but... error in calculate pin number 360!!!!*/ function = "gpio_out"; output-high; }; }; }; fragment@3 { target = <&spi1>; __overlay__ { pinctrl-names = "default", "default"; pinctrl-1 = <&spi1_cs1_pin>; cs-gpios = <0>, <&r_pio 0 8 0>; /* PL8 */ status = "okay"; debug = <0>; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; spidev@0 { reg = <0>; /* Chip Select 0 */ compatible = "spidev"; spi-max-frequency = <100000000>; status = "disabled"; }; spidev@1 { reg = <1>; /* Chip Select 1 */ compatible = "spidev"; spi-max-frequency = <12000000>; status = "disabled"; }; }; }; fragment@4 { target = <&pio>; __overlay__ { ili9341_pins: ili9341_pins { pins = "PD21", "PD16"; /*RESET, DC_RS*/ function = "gpio_out", "gpio_out" ; }; }; }; fragment@5 { target = <&spi1>; __overlay__ { /* needed to avoid dtc warning */ #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; cs-gpios = <0>, <&r_pio 0 8 0>; /* PL8 */ status = "okay"; ili9341: ili9341@0 { compatible = "ilitek,ili9341"; spi-max-frequency = <32000000>; reg = <0>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&ili9341_pins>; status = "okay"; debug = <0>; txbuflen = <32768>; rotate = <90>; bgr; fps = <60>; buswidth = <8>; regwidth = <16>; reset-gpios = <&pio 3 21 0>; /*RST= PD21 */ dc-gpios = <&pio 3 16 0>; /*LCD_RS PD16 */ init = <0x1000001 0x2000005 0x1000028 0x10000cf 0x00 0x83 0x30 0x10000ed 0x64 0x03 0x12 0x81 0x10000e8 0x85 0x01 0x79 0x10000cb 0x39 0x2c 0x00 0x34 0x02 0x10000f7 0x20 0x10000ea 0x00 0x00 0x10000c0 0x26 0x10000c1 0x11 0x10000c5 0x35 0x3e 0x10000c7 0xbe 0x100003a 0x55 0x1000036 0x28 0x10000b1 0x00 0x1b 0x1000026 0x01 0x10000f2 0x08 0x1000026 0x01 0x10000e0 0x1f 0x1a 0x18 0x0a 0x0f 0x06 0x45 0x87 0x32 0x0a 0x07 0x02 0x07 0x05 0x00 0x10000e1 0x00 0x25 0x27 0x05 0x10 0x09 0x3a 0x78 0x4d 0x05 0x18 0x0d 0x38 0x3a 0x1f 0x10000b7 0x07 0x10000b6 0x0a 0x82 0x27 0x00 0x1000011 0x2000064 0x1000029 0x2000064>; }; xpt2046: xpt2046@1 { compatible = "ti,ads7846"; reg = <1>; status ="okay"; spi-max-frequency = <1000000>; interrupts = <0 10 2>; /* high-to-low edge triggered */ interrupt-parent = <&r_pio>; /* PL10<-----> TP_IRQ= PD24 -irq not possible!*/ pendown-gpio = <&r_pio 0 10 0>; ti,keep-vref-on = <1>; ti,x-min = /bits/ 16 <00>; ti,x-max = /bits/ 16 <0xFFF>; ti,y-min = /bits/ 16 <00>; ti,y-max = /bits/ 16 <0xFFF>; ti,x-plate-ohms = /bits/ 16 <60>; ti,pressure-max = /bits/ 16 <255>; ti,swap-xy = <0>; }; }; }; }; now i did a dmesg | grep spi and the touch is loading but not the tft just not sure how to fix it I also read though a lot of forums for some sort of template for this device but still stumped.

Hello. Connected via PuTTY. I'm trying to connect to WIFI and I get an error: Connection activation failed: (53) The Wi-Fi network could not be found. Further, all Wi-Fi networks disappear, appear only after a reboot.

Hi everyone, I connected my board with my PC via serial USB. Then I opened a serial with minicom and tried to test it out. I can send the strings from my board to PC without any problems but when I write something on the PC it sends garbage to my board. But, if I connect the TX, RX like: TX->TX RX->RX instead of TX->RX, RX->TX it sends normal from the PC and garbage from the board. I checked my baud rates but everything seems legit. I tried both 9600, 115200 bit rates, I also tried the both voltages (5V, 3.3V) What do you think could cause this problem? I saw this thread but seems like there are no solution so far. I would really appreciete it if you can help me out.

Hello, I'm turning my head around this problem, I have read numerous forum posts and docs but I didn't found an answer: Following https://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO, the same pin number calculation applies for sysfs and gpiod. But, for example, for PL2 it will be 11*32+2=354, or for opi3 lts there are only 255 line numbers for gpiochip1 (as per `gpioinfo gpiochip1`) :-S Pleeease tell me what am I missing !?!

Hello, I am trying to make a acces point so when the orange pi has no internet i can still connect to the acces point and acces a python server that is running in a docker container on it. I managed to set-up the “hotspot” in the configuration, but once I take out the ethernet cable I cant view the site anymore from my phone that is connected to the orange pi hotspot. What can I do to make this work? https://imgur.com/a/5lecbHX

Good afternoon. The problem is indicated in the title. The computer is connected to my monitor via HDMI and the screen resolution is only 1024x768. Which is inconvenient to use. I saw a similar topic raised on the official forum of a single-payer in 2019, but no one answered there. Is this a problem of the computer itself or the Linux kernel or drivers?

Hello, does this USB WiFi card work with armbian on Orange Pi 3 LTS? TP-Link Nano AC600 USB Wifi Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PB1X4CN/ Does it need any drivers to be installed? If yes, is there any that is working with OPi 3 LTS? Btw I want to use this wifi adapter, because Armbian doesn't work with internal wifi card in this SBC - https://forum.armbian.com/topic/23505-orange-pi-3-lts-no-wifi/ (and sadly Devs didn't release a fix for it)

Hello friends, I installed the latest version of ARMBIAN compatible with ORANGEPI 3 LTS. But on the login screen, the username and password fields are pixelated, change color unstable when moving the mouse or trying to enter the password. This error only occurs on the login screen, once the desktop starts everything is normal. Thanks for your help.

We flash hundreds of Orange PI 3 LTS boards with stock Armbian Debian Bullseye via nand-sata-install to install it on the onboard eMMC storage. Some boards after running for a week or more would randomly give this error and fail to boot: Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. done. Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay* (did the system wait long enough?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules: ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/mmcblk0p1 does not exist (initramfs) We can turn the board on and off as many times as we want, the error persists. We can fix the problem by booting it from an Armbian SD again, mount the eMMC drive, then shut it down. We don't change any files. For some reason only mounting it from eMMC make it boot fine again. This has been confirmed with many boards. Any idea what can be going wrong or what we can manually add to the image to prevent it?

Hi, I want to make my orange pi 3 lts work in a similar way to the way Wifi manager works on esp8266 projects The idea being that if there is not a valid Wifi connection found then an AP is activated so a user can connect to a captive portal and enter the wifi ssid and password anc click connect. the pi then reboots and tries to connect. if that is successful then it works as normal if it is not then it reactivates the AP. I found various different partial solutions but none of which seem to work well with my setup. this might be either due to the orange pi or Armbian. The most promising i ahve foudn so far is https://github.com/balena-os/wifi-connect/ which is part of the Balena system. it is aimed at raspbian mainly but can install if you modify the installer argument which i found here https://github.com/balena-os/wifi-connect/issues/424 With this i can get the captive portal to run if i run it manually from ssh via ethernet and quickly unplug the ethernet port. However the captive portal does not seem to save the wifi credentials as it never connects to wifi afterwards. I also cannot get the wifi connect service to start using systemd which i tried following this guide https://planb.nicecupoftea.org/2019/01/11/balenas-wifi-connect-easy-wifi-for-raspberry-pis/ I am very new to armbian but am familiar with Linux generally. i am just looking for some pointers on what to modify / look for next to try and get this working. i suppose the actual issue is i need a simple way for wifi credentials to be updated in an image i want to provide to our users. so any solution that being able to setup wifi credentials when there is no network access and specifically aimed at non techie type people. i see the following options. 1. AP Fallback capability like wifi connect or some other library/project that i haven't found yet. 2. a way to use the raspberry pi imager which allows wifi and ssh info to be set when it is imaging. "unable to write to config.txt" indicates that in the raspberry pi images there is some sort of initial config file that then gets copied to the correct places on completion / first boot? is there anything that could be used with Armbian here? 3. some other solution to put wifi credentials into place directly from the SD card. I have seen quite a few posts back and forth regarding the use of a wpa_supplicant file i think it was removed? but not clear as lots of people still talk about this. and unlike a rpi image i cannot read an armbian imaged SD card via windows at all. Hope that makes sense and i appreciate your responses.

Armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/4cYv Hi I'm trying (and failing miserably) to achieve a simple goal with my Orange Pi 3 LTS: to have pin PD15 set as 'output-high' on startup. From reading the documentation, it seems the logical way to go about this task is to create a custom DT Overlay so that's what I set out to do. Based on the Armbian documentation and various examples I found online, I created the following sun50i-h6-gpio-pwr-status.dts file under /boot/overlay-user : /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h6"; fragment@0 { target = <&pio>; __overlay__ { gpio_pwr_pin: gpio_pwr_pin { pins = "PD15"; function = "gpio_out"; output-high; }; }; }; fragment@1 { target = <&gpio_pwr_pin>; __overlay__ { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-1 = <&gpio_pwr_pin>; cs-gpios = <0>, <&pio 3 15 0>; /* PD15 */ }; }; }; I then ran: > sudo armbian-add-overlay sun50i-h6-gpio-pwr-status.dts (* more on the 'sun50i-h6' suffix below) And this seemed to work without errors and created a corresponding *.dtso file in the same folder. I then edited armbianEnv.txt to include the new custom overlay by adding the line: user_overlays=sun50i-h6-gpio-pwr-status Rebooted the SoC as instructed and although it booted up as usual, Pin PD15 stays 'off' and isn't set to 'output-high' (or even just 'output') at any point. I tried troubleshooting as best I can for several days now by going over forum posts and reviewing the bootup warning and error messages but nothing seemed out of order.] Also, while I understand the main 'overlay' folder (/boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay) isn't meant for placing custom overlays, I nevertheless I tried repeating the process there too, but still no go. I also tried to repeat the process without the 'sun50i-h6' suffix in the file name and in the armbian.Env entry, but that didn't change the outcome (i.e. pin PD15 remains 'off' during and after bootup). I can't even tell if this custom overlay is loading and not working or not loading to begin with. My guess there's some mistake in the custom dts file above but I can't find it and would appreciate some help in getting this to work. Thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to control a relay (Bigtreetech Relay) by Orange PI 3 with Armbian 22.08.8 Jammy on it: the relay should be active as soon as PI started and deactivated on PI shutdown. As result I got the following device-tree overlay: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h6"; fragment@0 { target = <&r_pio>; __overlay__ { poweroff_pins:poweroff_pins { allwinner,pins = "PL2"; allwinner,function = "gpio_out"; }; }; }; fragment@1 { target-path = "/"; __overlay__ { poweroff: poweroff { compatible = "gpio-poweroff"; gpios = <&pio 11 2 1>; }; }; }; }; It has been successfully compiled and added to the system, but it does not work as expected: there is no voltage on PL2 pin.

/proc/cpuinfo does not list serial number How do I read the chip serial number?

I am getting significant graphical issues with most programs on the "Jammy Gnome desktop" version. I also saw similar issues under KDE desktop after clicking a button relating to OpenGL in the graphics settings (and couldn't figure out how to get that dialog back or undo the setting). I would prefer to stick with Gnome, I assume this issue has something to do with hardware/graphics acceleration having an issue, the application launcher seems to be immune from the issue. Sorry, I am quite a noob when it comes to Linux/programming related stuff, I couldn't find any other mentions about similar issues in this forum. The issue happens on both this 5" LCD and an HDMI TV at 4k.

Hi, I want to use LCD on Orange Pi 3 LTS. But there are no fex/script.bin in the boot directory. The LCD pins are given the RGMII Ethernet Interface. I could not configure the device tree for internal LCD output. Could you please explain how can i use LCD on these system ? Good Work.

Hi there, OK, here's the picture: brand new Orange PI 3 LTS, made SD card with Armbian 22.08 sid - didn't boot; made SD card with Armbian 22.05 Jammy - still the same result. The result: [ 0.000000] Boot CPU: AArch64 Processor [410fd034] [ 0.000000] bootconsole [earlycon0] enabled WARNING: Unimplemented Standard Service Call: 0xc0000026 and on top of that, upon first boot Armbian copies itself to the eMMC? Because after removing the SD card, I was able to get the same result with just plugging in the power (it boots from eMMC...?). As far as I remember, I didn't see any similar behavior described in the documentation. Any solution for both problems? Thanks in advance. P.S. I'm not intended to build Kernel and/or u-boot, just want a minimalistic clean image in order to start a server ASAP

installed wireguard on orange pi, configured the config, it works. It was necessary to restart orange, and after restarting it don t connecting to the LAN cable, even the orange light bulb is not lit. I start without sd, everything is fine. Reinstalled, installed wg again and the same thing again. What is the problem? OS:Debian11 (https://redirect.armbian.com/region/EU/orangepi3-lts/Bullseye_current)

Good day, I hope this email finds you well. I would like to create a custom animated screensaver and splashscreen on my Linux Armbian. I am current running the Jammy KDE Plasma version. Can you please guide me on how I can get this right and what I need to do to achieve this? I am also experiencing some graphical issues where some of the words disappear? Is there a fix for this? I am also trying to access the internet through wifi but it does not allow me to connect to my network. Any advice on how to get this right? Looking forward to hearing from you.
