I have orange pi zero board ..i searched a lot for changing boot splash screen ( currently "armbian universal operating system" which is enabled by adding bootlogo=true in armbianEnv.txt ) I have tried Plymouth it is not working After searching lot i knew about if we can replace bootsplash.armbian , it can help because then neither we need to change uboot packages nor we have to add quiet splash like words etc in armbianEnv.txt. https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/packages/blobs/splash. With help of this bootsplash-packer Can anyone list me some steps ( in short ) How to run this script and create bootsplash.armbian and replace it

Could You please help me install package firmware-misc-nonfree on orangepizero (5.15.77-sunxi, Armbian 22.11.0-trunk Bullseye)? I need driver mt76x0u for: "Mediatek MT7610U". Attempt to instal of package finish with error. I tried to install package armbian-firmware-full, but it take 270 MB of space and first package is much smaller and from this reason suitable for me. root@orangepizero:~# apt-get --reinstall install firmware-misc-nonfree Reading package lists...

I used https://github.com/piter75/armbian-build for building images via vm-kvm for my Orange servers. Now I want compile application hostapd with forcing 40MHz, but I don't want build/compile it on orange pi servers. Is possible use environment armbian-build for building mentioned application? Or some docker container with armbian in which I can mentioned application to compile?

Hi to everyone, I configured Network Manager to have a local-link connection (eth0-ll) as DHCP fallback (eth0-auto). When I do the following: Connect Orange Pi in a net without DHCP, obtaining a local link address Unplug ethernet cable Plug another ethernet cable connected to a network with DHCP If step 2 and step 3 are executed rapidly, the Orange Pi doesn't detect the network switching and eth0 keeps its local-link address. When I perform such steps slowly, Orange Pi detect which ethernet cable is not plugged in and then everything works as expected. How can I increase the refresh rate of the ethernet cable state? eth0-auto.nmconnection [connection] id=eth0-auto uuid=f3e05ca1-169d-43e7-9482-a1ed73cf6eb1 type=ethernet autoconnect-priority=100 autoconnect-retries=2 interface-name=eth0 permissions= [ethernet] mac-address-blacklist= [ipv4] dhcp-timeout=10 dns-search= method=auto [ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy dns-search= method=disabled [proxy] eth0-ll.nmconnection [connection] id=eth0-ll uuid=29cd8244-a477-41f8-be44-85c3c5c2bf57 type=ethernet autoconnect-priority=50 interface-name=eth0 permissions= [ethernet] mac-address-blacklist= [ipv4] dns-search= method=link-local [ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy dns-search= method=disabled [proxy]

Hello, I've been running Armbian for a while on an Orange Pi Zero without any issue.

Hello everyone, I am using Orange Pi Zero LTS 512MB (H3 Cpu) hardware. As an image; I am using "Armbian 22.08 Jammy Kernel 5.15.y, Updated: Sep 24,202". The MAC address changes every time the Wi-Fi is turned on. I tried several different images. I tried a few simple fixes posted on the forums, but only managed to fix it for ethernet. But it was not successful for Wi-Fi. I need an image or solution that does not change the MAC address. Is there anyone who can help with this?

ls /sys/class/udc > UDC ls:write error: Device or resource busy I'm trying to get an armbian device (banana pi m2 zero and/or the orange pi zero LTS) to function as a USB client, but I can't seem to get the above step working. Any suggestions? lsof UDC returns nothing. On the RaspberryPI 4 this worked without issue

Hello. I'v recently tried to update by old orange pi zero to latest armbian and it does not boot. Serial console is dead silent. I'v tried different armbian releases, sdcards, but result is the same. However card with old boots perfectly fine. Image orangepizerolts also works, but it has huge overheating problem. I'v tried to flash uboot to spi, but it does not boot either. Sadly old uboot did not worked with latest armbian. Any idea?

Hello. I have a problem with Orange Pi Zero LTS. I also have an expansion board and the required 3.5-jack cable. I have read many different forums and sites where people have described problems with video signal output. Often there are solutions such as: 1. Editing the file /boot/script.bin But this file does not exist. 2. They also talk about the launch of "tv". You need to add an entry to /etc/modules. But that doesn't work either, since ./tvout doesn't exist. As I understand it, in new versions there is no TV support, but there is no way to download old versions either. The latest version that can be downloaded is 5.59, but it also does not support TV. Some people since ~2019-2020 are wondering when this ability will be returned. I have the following questions: 1. Where can I download a version like 5.25 or older? 2. Or is there another way for Armbian to turn on the video signal? 3. Why did the developers remove this function? 4. And why haven't they brought this function back yet? P.S. Sorry for my english

Good morning all I have an OPi Zero H2 with the official expansion card. My goal is to make an Airport module to connect a speaker to it. The installation of Shairport in APT all is ok I can see the sharing on my iPhone. But the problem is that I have no sound when I plug a speaker into the 3.5mm jack port on the expansion card. I have correctly installed the "analog-codecs" and made a reboot. In Alsamixer I put "Line-Out" and "DAC" to the maximum (red). But still no sound ... When in doubt, I did all these operations on Armbian Focal / Buster / Bionic but it didn't change anything. Can you help me please? believe me I have tried everything for 4 days but without success. thank you in advance for your help

I’m trying to use a 3.5 LCD (waveshare clone) with ILI9486 + XPT2046 with my orange pi zero. My display is like this. I installed both Debian_buster_next_4.19.59 and Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57 and I followed many guides in here with no success. I edited armbianEnv.txt and added these: overlays=spi-spidev spi-add-cs1 param_spidev_spi_bus=1 param_spidev_spi_cs=1 After that I ran this sudo modprobe fbtft_device custom name=fb_ili9486 gpios=dc:18,reset:2 speed=16000000 busnum=1 rotate=90 and didn’t get any error. I figured that the reset & DC pins on orange pi zero are pin22(GPIO2) and pin18(GPIO18) but I’m not 100% sure about these. With dmesg I see these: [ 179.174013] fbtft: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [ 179.181645] fbtft_device: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

How could I debug the issue?

Well it took me longer than i hoped but i have managed to forward port icenowys code for TVE on the H2+/H3 to mainline armbian. It seems to work totally fine, with a few caveats. First: Sample images of it in action -> https://imgur.com/a/vXQEM Second: the patch itself -> https://github.com/stevenj/h3-tve/tree/v0.0.11 Third a prebuilt image for Orange Pi Zero: -> https://github.com/stevenj/h3-tve/releases/tag/v0.0.11 Howto: just put the patch into userpatches for the sunxi-next kernel, and build. it should apply cleanly. Its for H2+/H3. I have only tried it on a orange pi zero, but it should work on all H2+/H3 boards. You then need to edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt add tve to overlays to enable it. the driver will only run and enable tv out when the tv out devices are specifically enabled, so i created an overlay which does this. If you want to turn TV out off, just remove tve from the overlays line. My armbianEnv.txt overlays looks like this: overlays=usbhost2 usbhost3 tve If you want copious amounts of DRM debug info in your logs, add this as well: extraargs=drm.debug=0xF Its not needed, unless you really want the debug info. Notes: 1. The default mode is PAL, with 720x576 resolution. Thats outside of normal PAL displayable area, and so the screen overscans. I dont know how to correct this, although its mostly just annoying with terminals. I also don't know how to change the video mode to NTSC. 2. The standard font is a bit thin for composite video, and causes slight strobing and color impurity. Its because PAL needs pixels to be a certain MINIMUM width or color information can not be properly encoded. A way to resolve this is use : # apt-get install fbterm ... $ fbterm -s 20 This will run a terminal which is easy to change the font, and pick a bigger one. its much easier to read. Look at the help for fbterm to work out everything it can do. 3. I used the program "fim" to display the test images. there are others for doing stuff on the terminal. 4. I haven't tried X. I am not interested in running an X terminal on a TV, but it should probably work fine. Other than that it all seems good. I originally tested my hardware with the legacy kernel, and the image quality from this patch seems superior to what the legacy kernel produces. (legacy was noisy) The only other thing you need to know is Orange Pi Zero is missing filter circuity from its Composite Output, the most important thing you need to do is put a 50 ohm resistor between the signal and GND. i soldered one inside my RCA connector, it fits fine and isn't too difficult. IF you don't do this the image will bloom and look like total crap, so you have been warned. As this patch allows TVE to be enabled/disabled through use of the Device Tree overlays, i think it should be fine if the Armbian devs want to include it. I am happy to clean out some of the debug messages i added if they are interested in making a standard part of the build. If not, its easy enough to build your own image, just follow the guides on how to rebuild armbian. EDIT: I need to mention, all props go to Icenowy Zheng who wrote the original driver. I just tweaked the device tree stuff and got it in a state where it can apply cleanly to the armbian mainline kernel and build system. Original code is here: https://github.com/Icenowy/linux/tree/tve-v2
