Dear Community, I'll build a Developer Team specially for Banana Pi Boards!" GPIO Libarys I started updating/modifing the old GPIO-Libarys, so they can be used on the latest builds! I want to build a Team, for GPIO-Libary Development, for porting these Libarys: WiringPi-Node WiringPi-PHP WiringPi-Perl WirinigPi-Ruby gpiozero rpi-gpio Updating and modifying these: RPi.GPIO BPI-WiringPi2-Python BPI-WiringPi2 At the end, all currently working GPIO Libarys are: luma.oled RPi.GPIO BPI-WiringPi BPI-WiringPi2 BPI-WiringPi2-Python Armbian Build System for Banana Pi I started building the build-system for full banana pi support! Anyone who would like to join the developer-team, just pn me, post in this thread, or contact me on github or discord!" I created a GIthub-Organisation for this project and a Discord Server. A Domain & VPS Server is commin Monday!" Goals: Support ONLY for Banana Pi Boards Board Determiner Script which exports Board-Infos, required by gpio-libs (usual located at: /var/lib/bananapi) APT-Mirror Archive Hosted by our project-teams vps-server! ( Mirror stores all latest gpio-libarys we specially build for using on latest builds and other packages we'll develope in future) Added APPGROUPS: Pentesting, TV-Box, Server-Side, Game Desk & Development Revised menu for selecting extensions and other additional items Revised config menu Adding additional build options A Web-Based Project-Server Hosted Build-System will be build and available on the project-page, where you can build images remotely, according to you settings made in the WebInterface, with live progress & build-log + downloading compressed own image-release. A publish option will be added to, where you can upload your builded image to any Cloud/Storage we provide. Revised device trees According to APPGROUPS and Enabled Extensions: I2C, SPI, UART are enabled in the gpio_develope extension, and all requirements for gpio-programming are pre-installed, the gpio libs are pre-installed too. If you have some Ideas, what we could add or which wishes we can make true, just reply in this post, or contact us. Github Organisation Discord greetz, hexzhen3x7

Hello! I've downloaded the current images for BananaPi M1 offered in the site, as "Community Maintained" builds, but none of them is capable of producing video output from HDMI nor composite video. Both the Ubuntu jammy and Debian12 versions lose the video output as soon as the kernel starts to load, after the u-boot screen. I tried the desktop and server images, without any luck. With the older 5.x kernel, the ubuntu-jammy image that I've downloaded before loads fine. I know it's an old board, but it still gives me some amusement time tinkering with it and playing retro games. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Thanks!

Hi, I've been running the OMV7 latest with the armbian headless latest. I've set the power button for powering the system off in the OMV's gui. When the system is "on" I can power the system down by short press on the power button, the system powers off after aprox 10 seconds (so hopefully a clean shut down), the power led and network led get off, but the USB HDD (external 2.5in 320GB WD) still shows activity after power down - the activity led on it blinks (like 5 blinks per second) and I can hear a light clicking in aprox 1sec intervals. The disk does not spin, however (I cannot hear the spinning). I've been using a battery backup (3.7V lion) wired to the BPi M1 board permanently (there is an onboard controller for the battery backup management). What needs to be set in order the external USB HDD stops showing activity after the power down?

Hi, the Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.563_Bananapi_jammy_current_6.6.30_xfce_desktop.img shows black screen after going to the desktop GUI (the LCD panel shows "no signal").. PS: The Armbian_23.11.1_Bananapi_jammy_current_6.1.63_xfce_desktop.img after an update/upgrade shows black screen after going to the desktop GUI (the LCD panel shows "no signal") as well.. The Armbian_22.11.0-trunk_Bananapi_bullseye_edge_5.19.6_xfce_desktop.img Armbian_23.8.2_Bananapi_jammy_current_6.1.51_xfce_desktop.img Armbian_23.11.1_Bananapi_jammy_current_6.1.63_xfce_desktop.img work.

# PROBLEM: Recent bananapi m1 images (and other A20 boards?) have no kernel headers, and armbian-config is not working so no hardware support. # SOLUTION: Armbian_23.02.2_Bananapi_jammy_current_5.15.93.img.xz Take this image and install the headers manually - or update to recent ones from here (not all work). NOTE: Armbian_23.02.2_Bananapi_jammy_current_5.15.93_minimal.img.xz While is the same build, cannot unfreeze kernel changes in armbian-config gui Flash SD and drop the 3 kernel packages in /root/ After first boot run $ apt upgrade && apt upgrade --fix-missing Unfreeze kernel with $ armbian-config -> system -> unfreeze (should accept) Install kernel packages: $ dpkg -i <package-dtb.deb> <package-image.deb> <package-header.deb> reboot & freeze kernel again compare build scripts current vs minimal - and merge upstream? I am noob Please show the way. Files pack: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/0bdengzqkn5x798ddxvp7/h?rlkey=i6kilnhhr6xzxgkmipfqy19pr&dl=0 credits: Note to self: I should learn how to compile and build images.

Hello, I tied to activate SPI an a BananaPI M1 an Armbian VERSION=23.11.1 but didnt succeeded! I activated "spidev" at armbian-config and tried diferent configurations in "armbianEnv.tx. with: overlays=spi0 spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 i get roland@bananapi:~$ dmesg | grep spi roland@bananapi:~$ lsmod | grep spi spidev 20480 0 roland@bananapi:~$ ls /dev/spidev* /dev/spidev0.0 roland@bananapi:~$ I installed "Rf24" library for an nrf24l01 module and tried "scanner" "gettingstarted" and my own c++ file. Al long as I define a wrong "CE" pin, I get response from the nrf24I01 modul. Mostly I get some senseless info, but I also get the module name. "nrf24l012". So there must be a connection. But I cannot use the correct CE pin. Everytime I define the correct CE gpio PIN, (nRF(22,0)) I get this error. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'GPIOException' what(): can't access /sys/class/gpio/gpio%d/direction GPIO pin. check access rights Abgebrochen " I have tried the nRF linrary an a RaspberryPi 3. There I have no problems. It worked out of the box. But because of 1Gb and SATA I need to use my BananaPi. I also have tried different modules. All worked on RaspberryPi and failed on BananaPi. Do you have any Idea, how I can get SPI to work?

Hey, im trying to install pihole on my very old banana pi bpi-m1 on an Armbian_22.11.0 OS (maybe that is the issue after all). im getting this error "Error: Unable to update package cache.

Hello, I just started to use my old BananaPi M1 (Armbian 23.8 Bookworm) to check sensor values by onewire and i2c. At last there was no problem with onewire But I cannot get I2c to work. /boot/armbianEnv.txt overlay_prefix=sun7i-a20 overlays=i2c2 w1-gpio param_w1_pin=PI3 For onewire I had to define "param_w1_pin=PI3" even if my onewire sensor is connected to GPIO7. for I2C I checked "lsmod | grep i2c" but couldnt find anything. So ieven if it is not correctly activated, I could run "i2cdetect -y 2" and could find my sensor at 0x76 but couldnt communicate with it. I think I need to load "i2c-bcm2708 i2c-dev". How can I get these to run? Or do I have to define the i2c_pins like I did with param_w1_pin ?

Hello everyone I would like to set the monitor sleep time from the terminal. on Banana pi M1 with Armbian. You can help me ??

Hi! I ended up here: My Banana M1 was working well, connecting to a monitor I was able to see it working. But after I removed the sd card (after turning the M1 off) and inserted into a Windows machine (it couldn't read the linux fs, did not format it) it won't start anymore. Tried with all the recommanded SD card software to test with the slowest method possible to detect errors on it, but no error on the sd card. Tried many times to write with the recommanded balena etcher the currently supported images on the sd card, like: Armbian_22.11.1_Bananapi_bullseye_current_5.15.80.img.xz Armbian_22.11.1_Bananapi_bullseye_current_5.15.80_minimal.img.xz Did check their checksums. I get a short red blink and the M1 is turned off. If the sd card is not loaded with a correct bootable image then the red light remains on but on the monitor in any case I see just the no signal message (tried with two different monitors). I doubt that it could have power issue as I use the AC Adapter IRN-050200U with the output of 5V 2000mA. Tried pressing keys while turning it on and off, still nothing appears on the monitor. Should I try anything more or is it ready to be thrown away? Any ideas what the heck could have happened?
