Board: OrangePi ZeroPlus2 H5 I need display some graphics using LCD, resolution is about 640x480 If armbian flashing with desktop, then the usable memory (512MB) is not enough for my app.... So, in console mode, does some libraries could help me to write pixel to display via HDMI? and it configurable(or test succeeded) in my board? Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to set up multiple wlan interfaces for my Orange Pi Zero Plus2 H5. I want to have a interface in AP mode and a interface in Managed Mode ... so that I can provide a minimal "register me into your wlan" AP and the other interface can try that provided wlan credentials without reusing/ turning off / reconfigurating the AP interface. So I want to run a normal hostapd on wlan1 and a wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... When I'm using the iw list command, I get serveral "valid interface combination", one is * #{ managed } <=1 , #{ AP } <= 1, #{ P2P-client } <= 1, #{ P2P-device} <= 1, #total <= 4, #channel <= 1 afaik that means that I can run one managed (Station) interface and one AP interface with same channel, but it should be totally possible on starting up I've got one wlan0 interface in managed mode, when I'm now trying to add a new interface (iw phy0 interface add wlan1 type managed) I got a error "Device or resource busy" which is totally correct, because there can only be one managed interfache when I turn on the hostapd process on wlan0, it changes that interface to AP mode (I've confirmed this using iw dev), so I'm trying to add now a new interface (iw phy0 interface add wlan1 type managed), but I got a other Error "Operation not supported". So now the question: - Is my general assumption, that the orange pi zero plus2 can run multiple wlan interfaces right ? Since when I'm trying to add more that supported interfaces I got other error than the case, when in my opinion the prerequests are ok... if this is generall not possible I guess I got other errors. - Do I anything wrong with configurating or did I missed some prequests ? - Since the armbian for the h5 is in development, maybe there might be also some issue about the driver etc ? - has anyone succedded with such a usecase on this board ? Thanks in advance Roman Koehler

Hi, I am migrating from legacy 3.x kernel to bionic mainline 4.14 at OrangePi Zero 2 plus. Previously there is a fex files to enable or disable some features such as onboard wifi, mali, hdmi and other. now I found no ways to disable it, overlays does not include this features. Is there any way to edit dtb files? or? Thanks

I've had an Orange Pi Zero Plus 2 H5 for a few months, and it is driving me crazy. I can easily boot into the useless Android distro included on the eMMC. I can run most of the distros on the OrangePi website, although they seem to all be missing features or not working 100% in one way or another. I would LOVE to run Armbian on this board. Each time I try, I have huge problems. My video signal is often garbled or at best full of artifacts. I get segfaults every few minutes, and it seems like the filesystem is corrupted. I've tried running it with multiple power supplies (I have several Canakit 2.5amp ones), as well as several different genuine (so far as I can tell) Sandisk 8GB SD cards. It seems like there is something wrong with the Armbian images for the Zero Plus2 H5, since I can run the OrangePi distros (with the same cards and power supplies) without these sorts of problems. I keep seeing online people mentioning successfully running Armbian on the boards, so I am very frustrated. Can someone help me troubleshoot the problem?

I use the Armbian_5.45_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.44.img. I want to use a sensor based on the spi protocol. In armbian-config i enable the spi ,the armbianEnv.txt like this: verbosity=1 console=both overlay_prefix=sun50i-h5 overlays=i2c0 i2c1 spdif-out spi-add-cs1 spi-jedec-nor spi-spidev uart1 uart2 usbhost2 usbhost3 rootdev=UUID=bb48b498-7bd1-4018-b77d-ba00fa61a33d rootfstype=ext4 param_uart1_rtscts=1 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u But in /dev on spi-dev root@H5:~# ls /dev/s shm/ snd/ stderr stdin stdout Is it because there is no code adaptation spi-dev? if not ,I want to try to transplant the spi-dev code,Can give me some guiding advice?

My Development board is Orange Pi zero plus2 H5. My bluetooth already in work,but I try to play a .wav for test.this circumstance occurs. This is my test wav file: 1045.wav I use : aplay 1045.wav Playing WAVE '1045.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo then I record the sounds as mypaly.mp3. I guess this problem is due to uart Baud rate 115200 is not high enough . How can i fix this? 1045.wav mypaly.mp3

Hi: when iI'm using gpio of orangepi zero+, I found gpio is not usable, I can't find any way to let it work,please help me ! the device of gpio is: gpiochip0 -> ../../devices/platform/soc/1c20800.pinctrl/gpio/gpiochip0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 gpiochip352 -> ../../devices/platform/soc/1f02c00.pinctrl/gpio/gpiochip352/ but the Orangepi Zero's gpio is : gpiochip0 -> ../../devices/platform/soc/sunxi-gpio.pinctrl/gpio/gpiochip0/ is it the reason? how to let the gpio device work? please help me!

It is one of the smallest board featuring H5 soc. Since it has an on-board HDMI connector, i think it would be great to have a Desktop image for this board. Other H5 /similar boards like PC2 and Prime already have various desktops available (xenial / stretch with xfce).... Do u guys have any plan to release one in the future? and thanks a lot for the tremendous amount of effort u have put into this project :)

I must have missed the discussion about not having a desktop version for this board. Does anybody know why this option is not available? Now that I finally have the Bluetooth working, I can use it as a proper desktop. I have "simulated" a desktop build by following the Armbian build script... installing all the packages for xfce4, but it lacks some functionality (namely the notification icons). It would be really nice to have a proper Armbian desktop on this board. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I have an armbian 5.38 headless system on an orange pi zero2plus board. Attached to this board there's the expansion usb board with a wifi dongle and another board connected to twi interface of the gpio header. I power supply the board from the same header with a 5V 5A power supply, I verified and I have no holes on 5V and 3.3V voltage. The external usb dongle is configured as AP with nmcli, the internal wifi board is configured as w-station and is hooked to my home network. On this system is running a python-flask-uwsgi "daemon" that I'm developing. Well, randomly my system hangs, I can't connect to my flask web page, I can't connect via ssh from putty, if I plug an usb cable my windows system says that device is not recognized so I can't access from serial port with ssh too. The only way is cycle power and start again. I've tried without the usb dongle, with other PSUs and I checked the ssd integrity...everything seems fine. This can happen one hour or 30 hours after boot, it's random. If I look to my journalctl I can't find anything beacuse it flushes every startup so I looked at my syslog, here is an extract of what happens: If i look to my python script log something curious happens meanwhile, my scipt continues running until 7.35am (70 minutes after my log is muted) than stops without errors, it mutes like the syslog Here are my system infos: Here is my armbianmonitor -c "$HOME" output: PS: about the long story I'm in Italy, it's great we have sea, sun and good meals but we also have wifi routers that use channels 12 and 13. My router has the "IT" as wifi regulation policy. So when my router that has the "auto" channel setting, switch to a channel forbidden to orange I loose connection and AP discovery. On orange country is not defined, i found it with: So I tried with: It works...until reboot then it goes again to 00. The workaround I found was to modify /etc/default/crda with REGULATION=IT from that moment I got that error.... I know that if i set the router to work on a fixed channel it works anyway but I can't go this way. thanks a lot for all of your work and efforts!

I recently purchased a number of Orange Pi and Nano Pi boards, and discovered the awesome work of the Armbian team :-) The Orange Pi Plus2 H5 is a rather nice board - built in eMMC, H5, etc. (I wish it had 1GB of RAM but that's a different subject.) I'd love to use these boards for a number of projects. As a test, I modified the DTS for the board (mainline kernel) to enable support for the 1.1v/1.3v switch for VDD-CPUX using the SY8113B on the board. I also enabled the allowed clock changes to 1.2GHz for cpufreq. All of this worked great, but the board was very unstable at anything over 1GHz, which seemed strange, given that the CPU voltage should be switching to 1.3v. I found that when measuring the voltage of the "1V2C" testpoint on the board that VDD-CPUX was always at 1.1v - it never switched to 1.3v. I did some further examination of the board, and I was surprised to find that the "Q5" BSN20 MOSFET was not populated on the board! I checked all of the other passives and they are present - it is like Xunlong simply decided not to stuff this part when they built the board. So, as a test, I desoldered this part from my Orange Pi Zero rev 1.4 board and soldered it in the missing "Q5" spot on my Orange Pi Zero Plus2 board. And now it works great! VDD-CPUX properly switches between 1.1v/1.3v (measured at the "1V2C" TP), and I can clock the board to 1.296GHz without any problems. Would anyone have an idea why Xunlong doesn't solder this part on the board by default? They include all the other parts in this part of the power circuit, just not this MOSFET. I was going to buy a few more of these boards, and I'd like to be able to clock them up. Perhaps I should just order a set of these BSN20 MOSFETs and solder them on myself when I receive the boards...? Or perhaps I should just forget Xunlong/Orange Pi and use Nano Pis? My Nano Pi Neo Plus2 has been working perfectly since I powered it up (I enabled clocking to 1.296GHz by default as well in the DTS). By the way, I did some extensive tests and it looks like with both of these boards DVFS and thermal throttling works fine - the clock throttles back properly at the different temperature thresholds. Thank you!

I have an orange Zero plus + H5 and it does not turn on anymore, I noticed that the problem is feeding it. Does anybody have his schematic to try to repair?

Hey. I got an orange pi zero + 2 that I'm trying to run armbian on. I've downloaded the both the ubuntu and debian server, and installed to the sd card using Etcher. It boots, but when the boot process reaches "starting kernel", it reboots, and keeps in that loop. Here's a link to a screenshot of what's shown on screen just before it reboots: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xt6ebsdzi0nkf19/Fil 19-02-2018 18.12.04.jpeg?dl=0 I've also tried the images listed on orange pi's own website. They boot up fine to a working desktop. Any help?

Hi, I've installed the latest available xenial image for orangepizeroplus2-h5 and also upgraded all the packages, so currently running on 4.14.14-sunxi64. I can see the following parameters in the kernel config file: CONFIG_USB_CDC_COMPOSITE=m CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=m But at the same time the actual modules are missing: ls: cannot access '/lib/modules/4.14.14-sunxi64/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/libcomposite.ko': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '/lib/modules/4.14.14-sunxi64/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/function/usb_f_fs.ko': No such file or directory Does it look like some issue during the image build process (if so, do I need to open it in github?) Also, how is it possible to build just the missing modules without rebuilding the whole kernel now? Thanks

Hi all, I have a OrangePi Zero 2 Plus - H5 and installed Armbian buut when i build WiringOP it gives hardware line is missin message. I think so /proc/cpuinfo file is creating by armbian when bord is booting and lines contains all cpu informations. How can i fix the issue? There is any idea? Thanks in advance.

I'm running "Armbian_5.34.171121_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.14.img" on an OrangePi Zero 2+ H5. Lots of testing was done with the OS installed on and running from the SDCard. I've solved the board's overheating problems by installing a 30 x 30 x 7 mm Heatsink, plus a 50mm USB Powered Centrifugal Blower Fan. At long last the board runs happily at temperatures typically up to about 40 degrees C at light to medium CPU loads, and at around 65 degrees C when the CPU is pushed to 100% utilisation. With this cooling solution, the board has been reliably running PiHole for about two months now. The 50mm fan and the big heat sink are not a very elegant solution, but as there is plenty of room in the case where this board will live, the solution will do for my purposes. However - onto the problem that I've encountered today. I decided that I should be running the board with the OS installed on the EMMC, and used nand-sata-install to do that. There are no errors generated by nand-sata-install. Unfortunately, when the board tries to boot from EMMC, the boot process hangs midway through, at the following line: 5.7357391 fuse init (API version 7.26) I can't look at any error logs etc, as I can't boot the board sufficiently to get to a working command prompt. I did see this same error once yesterday when booting this board from the SDCard, but a simple reboot eliminated the problem. No amount of reboot attempts solves the problem when trying to boot from EMMC. I've also run nand-sata-install repeated times just in case ...... but that has also not had any effect on eliminating this boot error. Can someone who understands the ARM Boot process provide any information regarding what's actually happening when fuse init appears during boot process. And, does anyone have any ideas regarding how to fix or work around this error? Many thanks, RoyG

Is there a gc2035 driver module available or in development for the H5? There doesn't seem to be one in the 5.37.171220 build for Orange Pi Zero Plus 2. sudo modprobe gc2035 modprobe: FATAL: Module gc2035 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.7-sunxi64 sudo modprobe gc2035 modprobe: FATAL: Module gc2035 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.7-sunxi64

In this post tkaiser says disabling HDMI and the GPU on H3 boards can reduce power consumption by 200mW. Is it possible to do this on a headless Orange Pi Zero 2+ H5? I don't believe I can use h3consumption or edit FEX files because I'm on the H5 mainline kernel. I tried setting monitor=none in armbianEnv.txt, but I didn't notice any appreciable difference using an inline USB power meter.

Hello, I'm new to this forum and Armbian. I've got an Orange Pi Zero 2+ H5 running the Armbian_5.34.171121_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.14 image. It's connected to a device via UART1 using pin 1 for 3.3V, 6 for GND, and 8/10 for TX/RX. I've been trying unsuccessfully to use pyserial in a Python script to read data from the ttyS* devices, but I can't seem to cat anything from them either. I've tried moving the device to a RaspberryPi Zero W and I'm able to read the output from ttyS0 successfully. I did have to run raspi-config to enable the UART on the RPi, but I'm not aware of an equivalent on the OPi. I believe I added the uart1 overlay to my armbianEnv.txt correctly after searching this forum, but still no luck. uname -a Linux orangepizeroplus2 4.14.4-sunxi64 #11 SMP Thu Dec 7 11:55:12 CET 2017 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux cat /boot/armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 console=both overlay_prefix=sun50i-h5 overlays=usbhost2 usbhost3 uart1 rootdev=UUID=cb2b70ec-3706-45a4-94dc-81565e6a19d4 rootfstype=ext4 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u ls -al /dev/ttyS* crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 64 Dec 15 21:32 /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Dec 15 21:31 /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Dec 15 21:31 /dev/ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 Dec 15 21:31 /dev/ttyS3 # From sun50i-h5-orangepi-zero-plus2.dtb: uart1 { pins = "PG6", "PG7"; function = "uart1"; linux,phandle = <0x4f>; phandle = <0x4f>; }; uart1_rts_cts { pins = "PG8", "PG9"; function = "uart1"; linux,phandle = <0x50>; phandle = <0x50>; }; dmesg | grep tty [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: root=UUID=cb2b70ec-3706-45a4-94dc-81565e6a19d4 rootwait rootfstype=ext4 console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200 panic=10 consoleblank=0 loglevel=1 ubootpart=67c048bb-01 usb-storage.quirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 [ 0.000156] console [tty1] enabled [ 1.635116] console [ttyS0] disabled [ 1.655295] 1c28000.serial: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x1c28000 (irq = 25, base_baud = 1500000) is a U6_16550A [ 1.655346] console [ttyS0] enabled [ 1.675985] 1c28400.serial: ttyS1 at MMIO 0x1c28400 (irq = 26, base_baud = 1500000) is a U6_16550A Any guesses what I'm doing wrong?

Hello, I bought the Opi Zero plus 2 H5 and installed Armbian and Octoprint unfortunately, I can not find a suitable WirringPi for the H5 so I can address the Gpio. Sorry for my bad English thx for help

Is there some DT overlay to enable or some software to install to use the onboard bluetooth radio of the Orange Pi Zero Plus 2?

Hello! Today installed a test build armbian in my OPi Zero2+ H5. And I can't figure out how to enable HDMI. Connect UART and everything works fine and configured. But when connected to HDMI, nothing happens. The display blinks a couple of times on and off. How can I solve this problem?

1) The included Android image gives a lot of CPU failures when checking with the TTL cable. 2) When adding an Gigabit Ethernet dongle (in this case a Plugable one ~ ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet), the interface name will something similar to enx+Mac address. To replace this a file as the following one must be created: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules Containing (remember to replace THE_REAL_MAC_ADDRESS for the displayed enx+Mac interface address: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="THE_REAL_MAC_ADDRESS", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" 3) When making an apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade, some errors can be displayed ... but it works in general.

(39 in the H5 machine, with a NAS extension and an USB SSD attached there). 6) armbianmonitor really doesn't work (all, but the temperature, it is zero, and CPU frequenncy is ---). 7) The nand-sata-install works well. No SD is needed after that. I will check the micro-usb to see what happens. In the while I will ask for some H3 models of this card.

Hello, Just received this board and I can't get it to turn on if the SD card is present. I've tried several cards and I know them to be good (Samsung Evo 32GB). Any ideas?
