Hello! I could find quite a bit of information about the analog video output for OrangePi Zero 2W on Armbian under Ubuntu. On Android TV-OUT works. Are there any plans to add this feature to Armbian? It is very critical for me. If no one plans to do this now, then I would be extremely grateful for advice from experts on how to port / modify existing drivers, perhaps take something from the AndroidTV 12 code, where the video output works? I am a developer, but I have not previously dealt with driver development for Linux, but if I understand in which direction to act, then using ChatGPT sooner or later I should be able to cope. I would be very grateful for any help!

Hi, I'm migrating from the OrangePi image to Armbian, and can't make the touchscreen working, it does not respond to any actions. It works pretty well on the OrangePi's image.

Hello, I've issue with nameserver. My router DHCP DNS server point to the Pi which has IP 10.6.6.3. But for unknown reason 1.0.0.1 keep added in the /etc/resolv.conf: # This is /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf managed by man:systemd-resolved(8). # Do not edit. # # This file might be symlinked as /etc/resolv.conf.

Hello, I'm using USB C to Ethernet adapter and the download speed is below 1Mbps while upload speed as expected.

Hi there, I'm trying to set up AP + STA on wlan0 using Orange Pi Zero 2W and Orange Pi Zero 3 with the Armbian image. I managed to do this on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I encountered a problem: when creating a virtual access point, the process hangs and cannot be killed. Any attempt to view the logs after starting the process also leads to a hang, and only a reboot helps. This problem does not occur on the Raspberry Pi. I use the command: sudo iw phy phy0 interface add ap0 type __ap. For testing, I added an external USB Wi-Fi module to the Orange Pi Zero 3 and managed to create a virtual access point on it without any problems or hangs, so this problem only occurs on wlan0. The issue occurs on both Orange Pi Zero 2W and Orange Pi Zero 3, and they behave the same. Also, attempting to delete wlan0 via 'sudo iw dev wlan0 del' causes the device to hang. Has anyone encountered this situation? Is there a solution to this problem, and is it possible to make AP and STA on one interface on OPi Zero 2W/3 ? Here is the output of 'iw list': Wiphy phy1 //wlan0 Orange Pi [...] Supported interface modes: * IBSS * managed * AP * P2P-client * P2P-GO * P2P-device software interface modes (can always be added): valid interface combinations: * #{ managed, AP } <= 1, #{ P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1, total <= 3, #channels <= 2 [...] Wiphy phy0 //USB Wi-Fi adapter [...] Supported interface modes: * managed * AP * AP/VLAN * monitor software interface modes (can always be added): * AP/VLAN * monitor software interface modes (can always be added): * AP/VLAN * monitor interface combinations are not supported [...] Here is the output of 'iw list' on the Raspberry Pi: Wiphy phy0 [...] Supported interface modes: * IBSS * managed * AP * P2P-client * P2P-GO * P2P-device software interface modes (can always be added): valid interface combinations: * #{ managed } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1, #{ P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, total <= 3, #channels <= 2 * #{ managed } <= 1, #{ AP } <= 1, #{ P2P-client } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1, total <= 4, #channels <= 1 [...] As far as I understand, based on the "valid interface combinations", wlan0 on the Orange Pi cannot support both managed and AP simultaneously. Could this be the reason? For the Wi-Fi adapter, "interface combinations are not supported". Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have connected a microSD module to the SPI1 CS0 pins Is there a way to mount an SPI device? I tried, but I got this error: mount: /mnt/sdcard: /dev/spidev1.0 is not a block device. What is the best way to easily manage files on this secondary SD card?

Hi, I have Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.6_Orangepizero2w_bookworm_current_6.6.31_minimal on my Orange Pi Zero 2W. It has an expansion board but the ethernet port does not work on it. ip a show eth0 >> Device "eth0" does not exist. Only the Wi-Fi works.

Hi everyone! I wonder if modifying the "fbdev" driver to use Mali GPU to improve gaming performance is possible. I enabled `gpu` dtb, but according to "glxinfo -B" it uses "Device: llvmpipe, Accelerated: no". I'm curious if this can be improved somehow. BTW I found this old commit for Odroid C2: link

I've seen this question asked quite frequently here and all the posts end before there is a solution. I think it's time we had a crystal clear discussion on how it can be done. Not just for my curiosity, but for the people who've asked before and for the people who will ask in the future. The reason: Many hats/shields designed for RaspberryPi would otherwise be compatible with OrangePi if Armbian/u-boot didn't direct the debug output to UART0. UART0 is the most commonly used serial connection for hats/shields designed for RaspberryPi. OrangePi has multiple UART gpio so it would make sense for the O.S. (Armbian) to use the one that least impacts the users ability to actually use their hardware. Debug output is important but not so much so that the user cannot easily disable it.

I'm trying to enable GPU support for watching youtube on orange pi 2 zero w model. But there is no Mali driver and even kernel package How can I enable this?

Hello, I have recently setup Armbian on my Orange Pi Zero 2W for a project I am working on. Everything works great so far but one thing I have noticed is that permissions feel much reduced to my user account. I require sudo to do basically everything from create a file in the home folder to use apt. This feels very different from the feel of the Raspbian install on like a Raspberry Pi. Is there any way I can change the user permissions so I won't have to use sudo for everything? Its been a bigger problem for a project I'm using Clion for where files are synced between my laptop to the pi using SFTP and Rsync but I constantly get errors about unable to create or transfer files and folders due to permission errors causing me to need to delete the remote changes and manually copy them over with sudo. I understand that doing this compromises security and is riskier but I'm fine with that. Any and all help would be great

Hello Armbian community, Firstly, thank you for the amazing work that you do. Having Armbian has made the setup process so simple, and I really appreciate that I'm completely new to the world of SBCs and Armbian (but not Linux), and this issue had me stumped for a long time. I wanted to share the solution for those who are in the same position as me, as I only found this on Raspberry Pi resources. Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere in the forums - my searches didn't show any answers from here, and additionally, I keep getting time-locked (forced to wait 30sec) for every forum search. The model of OPI I have is the Orange Pi Zero 2W 4G RAM. I installed the Armbian Bookworm image (Armbian_24.2.6_Orangepizero2w_bookworm_current_6.6.28_minimal.img.xz). The SD card I'm using is a 32GB SanDisk card that is A1 speed. That was a lucky purchase considering I knew nothing of SD cards when I bought it - I just got the cheap thing, lmao. The Problem & its Symptoms The issue I initially had was that when I would try to SSH into my OPI, it would hang for a really long time after inputting user credentials before spitting out something or other about a broken pipe (in other words, timed out because of no user input). I could ping the OPI and it would return the appropriate results: PING 192.168.1.154 (192.168.1.154) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=127 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=4.15 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=2.13 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=3.97 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=5.19 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.154: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=2.80 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.154 ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 5007ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.133/24.182/126.853/45.926 ms Unlike a lot of other posts on the forum where the host was unreachable, it wasn't a problem in this instance. I made sure to run `# systemctl enable --now ssh` for the SSH service when setting up for the first time. When I'd try to SSH in, `systemctl status ssh` would say the session was open for my client. Unfortunately, on the client side that was never reflected, but it did show that there wasn't any other kind of network problem at play. The same problem happened without any firewall enabled, so that was not the problem either. I reinstalled the OS 3 times, all times using Balena Etcher, though the first time I did it directly from the .img file rather than the .xz archive. The issue was still not fixed after all those times. There was the option to reset the OpenSSH host keys but I thought every reinstall I did effectively did that anyway, so I didn't bother. :> After a bit of searching elsewhere, I discovered this: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/143142/has-anyone-solved-raspberry-pi-zero-w-ssh-client-loop-send-disconnect-broken Basically, "...open-ssh has relatively recently begun using quality-of-service (QoS) metrics to try to optimize its performance based on the expected behavior of the connection, and its default is to assume a reliability that the Pi Zero W's tiny wifi simply can't deliver; as a result it gets caught waiting for lost packets rather than retrying." The Solution As outlined in the linked post: 1. Open /etc/ssh/sshd_conf with your editor of choice 2. Append `IPQoS 0x00` to the file (append meaning add at the end). This disables the quality of service metrics 3. Restart SSH service (`# systemctl restart ssh`) I can now SSH into the OPI nicely.

This could stump other newbies if left as is.
