I have an Orangepiplus2e when I ran the command nand-sata-install after selecting boot from emmc system on sata or usb and selecting the destination/dev/sdb1 it shows the error of Partition too small. Needed: 3857 Mb Avaliable: 2700 Mb, How do I solve this?

Hi, I'm using the orange pi plus 2e with armbian server installed on eMMC via the built-in script,as the title says i want ways to reduce boot times. I only need ethernet and usb since i will be using it as a "virtualhere" server. Thanks, linux super noob. regards.

First, I am generally not a Linux person, so pardon any silly questions here. I am working on an OrangePi Plus 2E with (recent) Armbian. It has been working fine with the Jessie Desktop for several weeks now. I generally am running it 'headless', so I'm not sure exactly when, but sometime between last Saturday and yesterday I seem to have lost the desktop (and autologin, ...). I see a number of messages on the console at boot, including 'Stopped User Manager for user ID 1000' and then removing 'slice' for this user. The system is operating fine, just not the UI. So, how do I get autologin and desktop back (other than a new install)? What might have caused this to happen? I think I saw that a system update was being loaded on one boot. How can I check this? I seem to recall seeing a note that these images were set to auto-update. Is that true, and if so, how can I disable? FWIW - I have done an apt-get update/upgrade, with no change in behavior.

Hi everyone, I have recently buy a Orange Pi plus 2e. I installed Armbian legacy/server on it. When I plug a 3.5 HDD (in self-powered USB box), I have this message in log (dmesg) : [ 13.654305] ehci_irq: highspeed device connect [ 13.920099] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using sunxi-ehci [ 14.074826] scsi0 : usb-storage 3-1:1.0 [ 15.070939] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access WDC WD30 EFRX-68EUZN0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 15.073286] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Very big device.

Hi, I just want to inform that probably there is a problem with correct detection of platform. Originally I had everything set for Orange Pi Plus 2E. However, after upgrade avery file is related to Orange Plus (2) - not 2E: Previously in any mentioned file there was orangepiplus2e identifier.

Orange Pi Plus 2E ( see http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1681-migrate-from-orange-pi-plus-2-to-orange-pi-plus-2e/). Then I modified link in /boot to point to correct platform. Additionally I have copied armbian.txt and armbian-release files from original Orange Pi Plus 2e image. Is there any way to correct this "invalid" identifier situation or it is some kind of bug in upgrade scripts? Additionally I am attaching: armhwinfo.log.before_upgrade.gz armhwinfo.log.after_upgrade.gz

Hello, I have an Orange Pi+ 2 and Orange Pi+ 2e. I use Armbian, updated to 5.20 with these commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade so I rebooted and can't start. What can I do? Thanks

Hi, I installed armbian onto eMMC. Frankly, I expected better results. Please anybody confirm what I understood. 1. The sequence reading speed is 70MBytes/s. 2. The sequence writing speed is 10MBytes/s. 3. eMMC is not optimized for random operations. 4. When writing operation is performed, the system gets VERY SLOW to respond. And the couple of questions. 1. What utility and where to get to benchmark disks well? 2. Will USB SSD perform with better performance than eMCC? Thanks a lot in advance and hope to see this in the FAQ. Dmitry

Hello, I want to have a image on boot and no text. (splashcreen) I see plymouth but I don't now if it done with it and when I can install in to my OrangePi Plus 2e Anybody can help me ? Thanks a lot.

Hello, I'm trying to get a opi+2e to output something on my HDMI TV without success. The TV is a 10yo Thomson intuiva 27LB130S5 (1280x720, should be capable of 720p / 1080i) I tried android on eMMC, worked OK. Installed Armbian_5.14_Orangepiplus2e_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop on a microsd. During install there was some console output to the display (a bit mangled), and after the reboot, nothing. I got SSH over eth access. I disabled nodm service, rebooted to have FB console only (easier to debug, or so I thought) Still nothing. Tried h3disp on a few resolutions (-m 6, 5, 4, 2) with a reboot between each one. None gave me anything Any idea how to make this work (FB console then also X11) Thanks

Hello, Armbian shows me very low wifi coverage and fail to connect, with other distros the signal is good, any solution? I use Jessie Desktop 3.4.112 Sorry for my bad english Thnks

Hello, I am trying to staert the card with empty micro sdcard. The system is into eMMc. But when the micro sd card is in the Orange Pi and branch it it not start it failed with message error no system. Why ? I can't start the Orange Pi with a blank sdcard ? Thanks

Hi All, @tkaiser mentions in this thread http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1193-orange-pi-plus-2e-now-available/ the lima-memtester utility, requesting tests for the Orange Pi Plus 2E. Unfortunately I do not have a Orange Pi Plus 2E, I have however just received 10x Orange Pi Lite's and 2x Orange Pi PC+'s. Would it be useful to the project if I run this utility on all / some of my devices? Assuming yes and noting the comment: Do I need to run a desktop image with the HDMI plugged into a monitor? Also do I need provide some extra information to uniquely identify each board or will this happen automatically? Dave.

Update: BPi M2+ is done but further results would still be interesting. Now we need results for NanoPi M1. The most simple way is using the Armbian image as outlined in post #4 below. The only thing you would've to change is the following and can then run the lima-memtester binary as outlined below: ln -sf /boot/bin/nanopim1.bin /boot/script.bin echo nanopim1 > /etc/hostname reboot Dear BPi M2+ users. I just tested DRAM reliability with my BPi M2+ just to realize that this board doesn't run stable even with just 624 MHz clockspeed (currently testing 600 MHz for an additional hour or so). In case you have a BPi M2+ it would really help if you could do the same. Everything is outlined here: http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Plus_2E#DRAM_clock_speed_limit Just grab the referenced fel-boot-lima-memtester-on-orange-pi-h3-v3.tar.bz2 archive that now also contains stuff for BPi M2+ and then use the contained fel-boot-lima-memtester-on-banana-pi-m2plus script (I would also start with 624 and if that succeeds then check increasing DRAM clockspeed in 24 MHz steps). Please be aware that since SinoVoip saved a second led on BPi M2+ the red led will blink and you get no notification by a solid lighting 2nd led so you should let the test run at least for 1 hour. It's important to connect a HDMI display and ensure that a spinning cube can be seen with gray background (if the background is glowing red then something is wrong). Some more information can be found here: https://linux-sunxi.org/Hardware_Reliability_Tests#Reliability Please get back ASAP with results since Chen-Yu is currently preparing upstream u-boot support and DRAM timing is important!

Hi, I am building small file server. Is it possible to boot from mmc AND have data on sd card without the need of removing sd card on every reboot? I've installed armbian on smaller sd card, used nand-mmc-* script to write armbian onto mmc. Now, everytime I reboot I need to remove sd card, wait for system to load and put sd card back. I edited .fex file, setting sd card mode to 1, but it didn't helped. Any ideas/manuals on that? Thank you in advance.

Hi, currently my small server is running under Armbian 5.16 on Orange Pi Plus 2 board. It is using eMMC as root fs. I am expecting to get Orange Pi Plus 2E to be delivered shortly. The question is if following procedure will be OK to migrate server between boards: before: stop services etc. 1. insert SD card (16GB) when system is running. eMMC is visible as /dev/mmcblk0, SD card will appear as /dev/mmcblk1. 2. use nand-sata-install to copy system to SD Card. 3. mount /dev/mmcblk1 under some mount point, for example /mnt 4. verify, if /mnt/etc/fstab is valid: /dev/mmcblk0p1 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 5. modify link: cd /mnt/boot && rm script.bin && ln -s bin/orangepiplus2e.bin script.bin (* currently it is link to bin/orangepiplus.bin). 6. umount /mnt remove SD Card and insert to new 2E device. It should boot without problems??? If yes - use nand-sata-install to copy system to eMMC (procedure very similar to above).

Hi everybody, I need some help because I can't make my OPIPlus2e working the way I want. If I understood well I have to install latest armbian, and copy/past script.bin, but sometimes ethernet is not recognized. I tried every distros on my orangepi2e, but I can't install things like kodi (refuses to start, missing libs), or making work hfs drive (can't mount hfs although hfsprogs well installed). I ended up installing openelec and it works great, but I would like to do a NAS with it. Is it still in active development or there is working ISO ? Thank you very much. Best regards, Poukin

Hello, I have on my Orange Pi 2+ and Orange Pi 2+e Armbian 5.14 and 5.16 and both have the same problem: WiFi isn't constant. The signal fluctuates from 48% to 92% or from 20% to -1%. There is no difference with or without a LAN cable. When I connect the Orange Pi with a WiFi network the signal is constant. Is there somebody, who knows how to fix this problem?

Hello I want to do a special sdcard to my use of multiple card without reconfigure all the time. If I install into a 4gb sdcard after can I write a iso and copy to another sdcard and write to 128gb and when can I resize it into the new card? The minimum size of sdcard is 2gb or 4gb to do use desktop environment?

I've just written an article about my latest cluster build - a 5-node cluster using the Orange Pi Plus2E single board computers - each with 4-core ARM A7 running at 1.3GHz http://climbers.net/sbc/orange-pi-plus-2e-cluster/ Please share the link on Facebook/Twitter/etc if you find it interesting. Thanks

updated to 5.15 (then 5.16) release using aptitude. Kernel update worked. But when I updated u-boot ( linux-u-boot-orangepiplus2e-default ) , the system will no longer boot (see attached). But if I use linux-u-boot-orangepiplus-default , it will boot. (Note that the install script, to write/dd SPL , is hardcoded to mmcblk0, which is usually correct, but for this fix, I start boot on SDHC then pivot-root to eMMC. My running root is mmcblk1 during this "rescue" boot). Both 5.15 & 5.16 exhibit this behavior. Thanks, wha bad-uboot.txt

This is with standard Armbian Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun8i at the stock 1.296GHz CPU speed, and there is a fan+heatsink to stop overheating. I've disabled swap. # memtester 239 5 is OK, while # memtester 240 5 crashes out almost immediately: [10933.657662] Out of memory: Kill process 17061 (memtester) score 89 or sacrifice child [10933.657673] Killed process 17061 (memtester) total-vm:246992kB, anon-rss:245380kB, file-rss:28kB If I enable a small 32MB swap file, memtester seems to work fine up to 1200MB (still 750MB reported free, and no swap used) and crashes out for any larger values?? I'm getting the same out of memory problems trying to run the hpcc (Linpack) benchmark - very small values of N work, but anything larger gets killed with out of memory. I never got these errors using Raspbian/Debian Jessie 8.4 on the Raspberry Pi Zero/3 or NanoPC-T3 boards (all with swap disabled). Any suggestions much appreciated! Thanks
