Pretty simple question, I know a few years ago the temps provided by armbianmonitor were off by 10-15 degrees celsius, is that still the case today? Or are those temps accurate in newer versions of Armbian?

I'm using the image Armbian_5.38_Orangepizero_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.7z. My NetworkManager version is 1.6.2-3. Certain NetworkManager options like wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes or wifi.cloned-mac-address=random for NetworkManager results in not being able to connect to a wireless Access Point anymore via nmtui. On the other hand, manually spoofing the MAC address via ip, ifconfig and macchanger and using nmtui afterwards works in all three cases.

Hi there, I am new to the community, but read it for quite a while. I try to bring my own smart mirror project to life. So far everything runs good and I am pretty impressed with all the efforts you guys put into Armbian. There is one little thing that I can't solve my own (due to limited coding capabilities). The supported resolutions doesn't offer the one supported by my 10,1" Tontec display. It is connected via HDMI and offer a resolution of 1280 x 800px. Where 1280 x 720px work it stretches the content, which makes small copy unreadable. I found several threads where users discussed about this resolution. Would it be possible to make this resolution available? Best and thanks in advance, Alex

An hour a go I powered down my Neo Core 2 and now I can't get it to boot properly. When I hook it to the serial Monitor this is the output. It tries to load the "-fixup.scr" file in the /boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay folder but of course this is not available. With the extfls command I searched the folder and those two files would be available: sun50i-h5-fixup.scr sun50i-a64-fixup.scr The "sun50i-h5-fixup.scr" would be the right one for my processor however why does it choose "-fixup.scr" instead? Here is the boot sequence output:

Hi, I searched around for any new info on the 3rd USB port (header pins next to the 40pin header) and couldn't find anything new than the 2016 post that found its existance, the rest I found was acknowledgement that the H3 has 3 real USB ports, I am trying to enable this port since it seems it isn't enabled by default even in the latest Armbian, how exactly can it be enabled, the whole script.bin change from 2016 got me confused, is it the usb3host option in armbian-config? Edit, spoke too soon, even though the info is missing actually, it was the usb3host in armbian-config>system>hardware, I had the pins the wrong way, D+ is on the outside. Also why are the usb1 usb2 option unmarked if they are actually enabled (by default), this was actually what confused me, if usb3 was actually the correct option. Thanks Oscar

Hello! How to fix hdmi overscan for retarded tv, is it possible? H3 OPi + Armbian Stretch Desktop last night's Nightly I tried setting overscan_x/y in armbianenv.txt and u-boot and a display-mode line including them, didn't work. Does it need extra settings, like disabling edid or some order of settings?

I just did a Python 3.6.4 build using all 4 cores, and it handled beautifully.

No such problems with mainline.

Hi guys, I Love Armbian mainline as docker host, no problems yet apart from below one. I am Running Orange Pi Zero (first generation), latest Ubuntu mainline, upgraded, latest docker + latest minisatip image 1 USB DVB-C TV stick T230 + latest V4L firmware CPU shoots to 100-ish % for all 4 cores when I try to tune, no picture. Then I found this out by accident : while upgrading the kernel and tuning at the same time : It helps to have more CPU load, so : I made a bash script to load one core 100%, avoiding I/O (htop confirms 100%) And now tuning works : 2 FTA HD channels ( 30Mbps ) looks pretty good. Temp is no problem, CPU only 50C after 30 mins in open air and with a very small heat-sink. ( So that is with tuning 2 channels AND running the 100% CPU bash at the same time) Also tried and I see the same overload problems in below, and some combinations of that : minisatip without docker Orange Pi One vs Zero ( If needed I could try also on OPiP-2E, but that is a lot of work as those are built in in my 2 NAS boxes as docker hosts and all USB ports used ) SATPI vs minisatip vs TvHeadEnd Debian vs Ubuntu USB DVB-S2 vs USB DVB-C running CPU load bash with "nice -n 10" Both minisatip and its docker image ( image same as above ) works fine on a Raspberry Pi 2 So could it be the mainline kernel in combination with USB DVB ? I know no support, so no big problems if we cant solve this, still want to signal this, perhaps we can make the mainline kernel better ? Only message I found, only very little bit in this direction : CPU 100% when using 2 uarts, something with interrupt overload ? https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/847

Where is the linking between the WiFi state and the LED defined? The NEO Core has an inconsistently on LED on the Core/Air image and I believe this to be the bug.

Hi, Have some H3 boards with the current Armbian level 5.24. Need though Qt5.. Is there any info on how to do this? How to install Qt5 in Armbian? (Might be too easy but for some reason I cannot find relevant info) Christos

Hi everybody: I'm having problems to compile a custom user overlay on ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi. I tried to install linux-headers-dev-sun8i like said on https://www.armbian.com/kernel/, but i receive the folowwing error: Kernel headers are not installed properly. Please install the kernel headers package so, my one option is to install linux-headers-next-sunxi, but as i'm using the stable version the compiled custom user overlay only works if i switch to nigtghly automated builds using armbian-config tool. all help will be welcome. Regards, Mauricio F.

Hi Guys: I have been trying to write a custom overlay to use gpio-poweroff. I'm using ARMBIAN 5.37.180106 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.14.11-sunxi. Attached is the gpio-poweroff.dts file that i wrote and even as it compiles with sudo armbian-add-overlay gpio-poweroff.dts and it is added to the last line on armbianEnv.txt like user_overlays=gpio-poweroff, it doesn't work. On boot, it shows: Applying user provided DT overlay gpio-poweroff.dtbo failed on fdt_overlay_apply() FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND Error applying DT overlays, restoring original DT All the other other overlays ilke i2c0, uart3 works perfeclty. Any help wil be appreciated. Thanks. MFM

For what it's worth, and one of the most discussed topics can now hopefully finally closed: Mali in mainline Did not try it, but the source is trustworthy to my humble knowledge... Still no open source release, but I guess it silences a lot of people questioning for Mali support! For the real Mali die hards, here is a link to some more background info: Free Electrons

Hello, I am using Armbian 5.25 Linux 8 jessie 3.4.113-sun8i and when I plugged usb grabber with chipset utv007 lsusb shows only 1b71:3002 without name of device. How can I add driver for this device to my armbian? (preferably without reinstalling Armbian) or If I install new version 5.3, will it work out of the box? Thank you!

Hi! I'm having trouble with one (only one) of the alsamixer settings. 'MIC1 boost AMP gain control' shoots up to 71 every time I launch a program that uses sound, such as alsaloop or arecord. I've done 'sudo alsactl store', so I can get it back to zero by doing 'sudo alsactl restore'. Obviously that's not something I want to do all the time. I don't have any problems with any other settings. The setting in question completely ruins sound quality for my purposes, so I need it to stay at zero. I'm currently running 5.35 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i. I've tried Debian Jessie as well.

Trying to clear boot sequence from errors while building mainline version with following parameters: I found error sunxi-nmi: unable to map resource. After investigation, I found: 1) there is no nmi controller on A64, according to last version of Allwinner A64 manual; 2) nmi is added into DT by patch add-A64-nmi_intc. patch. I created a user patch reversing this patch, but it could be better if this patch is removed from A64 as it is usefull only on other chip. Question: is my opinion on this topic ok? Who is in charge to solve this conflict between me and the guy who added this patch? Mike

While boot "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules." Type systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service and get run systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl start systemd-modules-load.service when systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service but if will reboot, "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules." again! why?

I have installed latest armbian desktop version. When I try to preview webglsamples.org, it seam that no hardware acceleration is enabled, webgl. Is there possibilty to install webgl support ? I search forum, and did't find nothing about webgl support for A20. No mather wich browser, just need webgl support to show webgl . Thank you!

Hello Pin A18 is HIGH when OPI ONE boots but I want to change OPI ONE pin A18 to LOW. How could I do this?

Hello ...i have a probably "stupid" question but exactly is this pressure switch located on the back PCB of Beelink X2 i know its not the best angle but i guess that everyone that have dissasembled Beelink X2 has saw it...if you have issue recorgnize it i will take a photo (the one here is from a photo i found here) I tried to pull the Beelink out of the box and it wouldn't start....i guess it should be always pressed....

I'm trying to follow the instructions for ubuntu, but I do not have success. I added the script /etc/init.d/, executed sudo chmod ugo + x /etc/init.d/script.sh, and then executed sudo rc-update add script.sh, but got the output: sudo: rc-update: command not found. What do i do?

Is there a way to set GPIO pin modes and values (much) earlier than a script running in /etc/init.d/ ?

Hello- I'm looking to marry free and open (as possible) software and hardware into one inexpensive system. I'm in over my head so apologies in advance if I'm asking silly stuff. I did check the basics on here and have been lurking. At any rate I've been messing around with the Lime 2 and haven't had much luck getting Parabola to boot into LXDE... or any GUI at all actually. I thought I'd try Armbian as the Debian Kernel has been blob-less for a while now. I really, really like it so far. I am using Mainline, just want to make sure I'm running all free software if possible. I have checked for non-free stuff via: dpkg-query -W -f='${Section}\t${Package}\n' | grep ^non-free and aptitude search '~i ?section(non-free)' I found a single non-free package, iozone (if I'm remembering right?) and removed that guy as it's for monitoring and (hopefully? lol) non-essential. My question is: am I good now or am I overlooking stuff? Debian won't deliberately install non-free packages unless you explicitly make it, correct? I have been reading up on device tree as it's supposedly been loaded as a blob on bootup. Is this in fact a proprietary binary? What else do I need to read up on? I'm looking to upgrade to a CubieTruck; I want to stick with A20 because as far as I've read it's not vulnerable to Spectre or Meltdown. Thanks much.
