Good day! I'm using latest armbian build for orange pi lite (Armbian_community 25.2.0-trunk.86 Bookworm). Tried to connect anything to OTG USB port (mouse, flash drive), but it didn't work. DMesg was silent. Had 4 USB devices: [ 1.683435] usb usb1: Product: EHCI Host Controller [ 1.699369] usb usb2: Product: EHCI Host Controller [ 1.727339] usb usb4: Product: Generic Platform OHCI controller [ 1.729832] usb usb3: Product: Generic Platform OHCI controller Then I followed this guide https://github.com/carl1961/Orange-PI-Lite-Usb-OTG-to-Host And I had 5th one after this: [ 2.352145] usb usb5: Product: MUSB HDRC host driver But still nothing. So is there a way to make it work? Thanks. PS: yes, I've read this topic. The solution on github is based on that.

How to install Home Assistant Supervised on Armbian 23.02 Jammy (plus minus, but quite installed on the previous release of Armbian, this is based on Debian 10) Performed exclusively without a graphical interface, from the console. Works stably on Orange Pi Lite , including a connected Bluetooth dongle via USB and sensors to it. 1. The first installation of Armbian and the subsequent creation of a user and passwords, the next is required to install all updates via sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y . Then you need to install the Firmware update through the armbian-config ->System utility as in the screenshot. (When prompted for reboot - reboot the system.) Separately for owners of Orange Pi Lite: 2. Next, follow the instructions https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer up to "Step 4" If we continue to install "Step 4", it will not allow installation and will write in red letters that the current system is not supported and the system must be Debian 11. 3. In this case, it is necessary during the installation, to replace one variable in the system in the /etc/os-release file . It is necessary to replace in this file PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 23.02.2 Jammy" on PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" (from sudo rights, eg "sudo nano /etc/os-release" editor) 4. And continue with "Step 4" in the instructions. In the installation type selection window, select "qemuarm" for armv7, this is important . 5. After installation, the services for deploying the docker container will immediately load automatically. Note that it took me ~15 minutes ! The progress of the deployment can be monitored indirectly in htop (you can open a window in parallel in another ssh terminal). 6. For autoload, you need to activate autoload services: sudo systemctl enable hassio-apparmor.service sudo systemctl enable hassio-supervisor.service For Bluetooth integration to work, you must install "sudo apt-get -y install bluez" into the system beforehand. Additionally: 1. The main file(s) of the Home Assistant configuration ( for ex. like configuration.yaml ) on this system will be located along the path /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/ , in the same folder, if necessary, you need to throw custom_components . 2. If you want to use /dev/ttyUSB0 (or HC-05 ( /dev/rfcomm0 ) for example after auto connect via bluetoothctl ) on your Armbian and in conjunction with Home Assistant, then you need to add rights to your user: sudo gpasswd --add <user> dialout sudo newgrp dialout (Note that the brackets <> should be your data instead. Also, if you will use i2c in the same way as dialout, write i2c ) Working with GPIO from userspace in Armbian Option 1 (classic) By default, the OS does not allow gpio to be controlled via sysfs (/sys/class/gpio/) to a non-root user, to fix this you need to do the following: 1. Create a gpio group: sudo groupadd gpio 2. We give our user access to the gpio group: sudo usermod -aG gpio <user> 3. Create a rule for udev when the system boots: sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-gpio.rules Paste in the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-gpio.rules" the following SUBSYSTEM=="gpio", KERNEL=="gpiochip*", GROUP="gpio", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'chown root:gpio /sys/class/gpio/export /sys/class/gpio/unexport ; chmod 220 /sys/class/gpio/export /sys/class/gpio/unexport'" SUBSYSTEM=="gpio", KERNEL=="gpio*", GROUP="gpio", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'chown root:gpio /sys%p/active_low /sys%p/direction /sys%p/edge /sys%p/value ; chmod 660 /sys%p/active_low /sys%p/direction /sys%p/edge /sys%p/value'" 4. Reboot: sudo reboot For Allwinner H3 gpio, the following picture corresponds to the connector: (Where BCM corresponds to the GPIO number in Armbian, more details can be found here ) It should now be possible to change (monitor) all these gpios non-root , i.e. when we do for example "echo 6 > /sys/class/gpio/export", then it will use the physical 7 pin of the connector as the folder "/sys/class/gpio/gpio6" etc... Option 2 (recommended) A new option without any sysfs is to use the built-in Armbian tools like gpiodetect, gpiofind, gpioget, gpioinfo, gpiomon, gpioset (Help). Additionally: For Home Assistant, in addition to the classic way, it is much easier to do the second option, for example: This is a binary_sensor in the form of a pressing to the button (input😞 binary_sensor: - platform: command_line name: external_button_state command: "gpioget gpiochip0 6" payload_off: "0" payload_on: "1" scan_interval: 0.250 (same 7 pin on connector as GPIO6 on Armbian , scan_interval set to 0.250 in seconds - means 250ms) Or a switch like slide switch 😀 (output) : switch: - platform: command_line switches: something_change_value: friendly_name: Test Switch pulling GPIO output command_on: gpioset -B pull-up gpiochip0 64=1 command_off: gpioset -B pull-down gpiochip0 64=0 command_state: test $(gpioget gpiochip0 64) = 1 (where pin 19 is used on the connector that is GPIO64 on Armbian as an output signal, 0=low[0V] 1=high[3.3V], the test command tests the already set switch value and changes it almost in real time - this is necessary if let's say we have someone else who controls the signal, or it changes dynamically, or in general, another pin can be set for the status) ----------------- That's all, successful projects for you!

Good afternoon. I don't know how to solve a small problem. There is Orange Pi Lite. It runs its own program. The program uses spi-dev and display. You need to compile drivers for the network card. And then a problem arose. I cannot install linux-headers-current-sunxi on a working distribution (the latest one available on the website Armbian_23.02.2 5.15.93 ). And if you set “Community maintained”, then it is impossible to enable spi-dev and the display (Arbian-Config is missing in the repository) How to solve this problem?

Hello, I have an orange Pi i96, and I can't find a USB device. In /dev, I have a serial folder, then by-id in which I have : usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0 But it doesn't disappear when I remove the USB device ... And the USB output doesn't change whether the device is plugged in or not. Dmedg gives nothing related to usb and lsusb gives this: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub And it doesn't change depending on whether the USB port is busy or not. Am I missing something? Have a nice day I know it's the wrong tag for this post, but there isn't one for the i96...

Hello, I just bought Orange Pi PC lite and I have a problem with the version of Orange Pi on site is I think a Server Desktop and Doest have Gui Interface where can I Download the Graphical Interface, I think It is possible but I dont know where to get it , If someone Help me I aprricate it.

Attention, whatever you do next is at your own risk! Fixed dts overlay file for Armbian 23.02.2 (attached). 1. Now the system can fall asleep and wake up by a timer (without an external RTC, provided that it is powered) or by pressing a button - while wifi connects itself (if there is an automatic connection) and the system continues to work as if nothing had happened without unnecessary loading. 2. As a bonus, I added an indication of reading from a flash card as a red LED (this can be turned off). 3. I also activated the host on the micro-usb connector - now you can connect something else via the otg adapter as a third USB connector. To apply this on your system dts overlay you need (from sudo) : 1. Download the file, say, to your home directory, then execute the command from this directory: sudo dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dtb/overlay/sun8i-h3-gpio-keys-led-suspend-usb-fixes.dtbo gpio-keys-led-suspend-usb-fixes.dts 2. If there are no errors, move on, if there are errors, then DO NOT continue! 3. Make a copy of the file "/boot/armbianEnv.txt": sudo cp /boot/armbianEnv.txt /boot/armbianEnv.txt.orig 4. Open the "/boot/armbianEnv.txt" file in an editor of your choice: sudo nano /boot/armbianEnv.txt (I used the nano editor) 5. Add the line "gpio-keys-led-suspend-usb-fixes" to the "overlays=" item: overlays=gpio-keys-led-suspend-usb-fixes (do not touch the rest - if you make a mistake, you will have nothing to boot later, that's why you made a backup!) if the parameter "overlays=" already has another parameter, add a space, for example: overlays=analog-codec i2c0 gpio-keys-led-suspend-usb-fixes 6. Reboot the single-boarder, if the red LED flashes during the download process, it means it is working. Additionally: To make the system fall asleep and wake up on the button, you need to execute the command: sudo systemctl suspend (Next, when you press the button (if you do not turn off the power) - it will wake up as intended) To make the system fall asleep and wake up on a timer, you need to execute the following commands (or enter into a script): sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" sudo sh -c "echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 3 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" sudo systemctl suspend (where "3 minutes" change to your hibernation time, more details here) Current consumption in idle mode - not loaded by the CPU : Current consumption in sleep mode with timer: If you just turn off the consumption in about of 80-90mA P.S. Following the example, in the same way, you can wake up, for example, from a specific button by adding the wakeup-source parameter to GPIO, more details on how to add your own button here. https://www.mediafire.com/file/k8ioiezr7vuu93w/gpio-keys-led-suspend-usb-fixes.zip/file

Hi. After 2 years uptime it disconnected from wifi and was unable to reconnect even after reboot. I suspect my AC adapter has degraded. Can this SBC measure the voltage? Upd: saw this post: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/112122/wifi-not-connecting-depending-on-power-supply I use NetworkManager and when it starts it usually cannot connect to wifi saying that the pre-shared key is wrong, marking the connection as failed and not re-trying. In particular, the log contained a failed "asking for new key" message. Re-starting the service or manually activating the connection worked. As a workaround I created a *.conf file in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/ : [main] autoconnect-retries-default=0 Not sure if it helped though. One boot had a different error and a re-try. The other boot suddenly connected with the 1st attempt.

I have an orange pi lite, I want to use the lcd ili9341 TFT 320X240 2.8 Inch touch screen, and by header 34 pin and how the installation connections I don't know I need your help. I be very grateful. The OS is "Armbian_22.08.2_Orangepilite_jammy_current_5.15.69_xfce_desktop" And I'm looking for 2.8 inch LCD setup codes on Armbian for Orange Pi Lite!

Hi there, I need to install below libraries on my orange pi lite, on a virtual environment tensorflow 2 keras numpy pandas OrangePi.GPIO does anyone have a armbian image including all these libraries pre-installed. because everytime I try to do it, I face lots of odd errors, mostly for installing tensorflow 2, and installing anyone of libraries on virtual environment.

I try to communicate nextion display with Orange pi lite, I can receive data from the display, but can’t send it using WiringSerial library. if I use common file write(), and try to catch an error by errno.h, it gives me: value of errno 14 error printed by errno: bad address.
