I am new to Ambian and am trying to boot up to it for the first time. I have both an Orange Pi 6 Plus and an Orange Pi Zero 3. Using the Armbian Imager, I had no problem finding the images recomended for my units. My problem is that neither of the devices can boot up to the desktop. They will boot up to a text console where I can configure Wifi, root password, intitial user name, and locale. After that, they state that they are starting the desktop or running some script and continue no further. That I see uniform and reliable failure across the images and the devices make me think that I may be doing something wrong. But I cannot find some step documented somewhere that I am missing. I am using a power supply that is also branded Orange Pi capable of up to 100 watts on both units. I am able to run other OS images on both units, but not Armbian. Is there some trick or additional step that is required for these to successfully boot up? Images tried on the Zero 3: Armbian 26.11.0 XFCE Armbian 26.11.0 Minimal Images tried on the 6 plus: Armbian 26.8.3 Minimal Armbian 26.8.3 GNOME Armbian 26.8.3 KDE

I have an orange pi zero3 with 2gb of ram. Ive installed the current 6.18.43 armbian debian build. It booted fine from SD and I then flashed the boot rom to the eeprom so I could boot from USB (sudo flashcp /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-current-orangepizero3/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin /dev/mtd0) I was able to boot from USB0 fine but not from the USB ports USB1 and 2 on the 13 pin header. With the help of google and some ai I found that if I run the following my sd card is recognised when plugged into usb1 fdt addr bbf107b0 fdt set /soc/usb@5310000 status "okay" bind /soc/usb@5310000 ehci_generic usb reset usb storage That produced: Bus usb@5310000: 2 USB Device(s) found 1 Storage Device(s) found Kingston DataTraveler 3.0 57.7 GB The uboot seems to be missing the commands for the other usb ports. fdt addr ${fdtcontroladdr} Working FDT set to bbf107b0 => fdt set /soc/usb@5310000 status okay => fdt print /soc/usb@5310000 usb@5310000 { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h616-ehci", "generic-ehci"; reg = <0x05310000 0x00000100>; interrupts = <0x00000000 0x0000001e 0x00000004>; clocks = <0x00000002 0x0000006a 0x00000002 0x0000006e 0x00000002 0x00000064>; resets = <0x00000002 0x0000002c 0x00000002 0x00000030>; phys = <0x0000001e 0x00000002>; phy-names = "usb"; status = "okay"; phandle = <0x00000054>; }; => fdt set /soc/usb@5310400 status okay => fdt set /soc/usb@5311000 status okay => fdt set /soc/usb@5311400 status okay => bind /soc/usb@5310000 ehci_generic => bind /soc/usb@5310400 ohci_generic => bind /soc/usb@5311000 ehci_generic => bind /soc/usb@5311400 ohci_generic => usb reset resetting USB...

@ag123, @c0rnelius, and anyone else that has interest in sound on these devices. I have been able to put together a patch that enables audio for H161/H618 devices. So far only audio on HDMI works. Analog audio is still generating an error on startup. The patches were taken from a git repository by warpme: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/tree/master/script/kernel/linux-6.6/files , and probably came from the Zunlong SDK. A lot of the code was written by Allwinner. @pixdrift generated a version of the patches for Armbian and I continued to work on them. I have a git repository if anyone would like to test, particularly on boards other than orangpizero3, on which I have tested. repository: https://github.com/stephengraf/armbian_build_sg.git There is another repository mentioned in the Armbian Forum: https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build If anyone has interest and skills to debug the analog audio, the dmesg errors are: [ 7.125509] ahub_dam-snd-soc-dummy-dai: substream ahub_dam-snd-soc-dummy-dai has no playback, no capture [ 7.125539] sunxi-snd-mach soc:ahub_dam_mach: ASoC: can't create pcm ahub_dam-snd-soc-dummy-dai :-22 [ 7.125780] sunxi-snd-mach: probe of soc:ahub_dam_mach failed with error -22

After nearly one year of kernel crashes, I finally found the stable configuration for Orange Pi Zero 3 as a 24/7 SDR server. The critical discovery: legacy kernel 6.6.75-sunxi64 is the only stable option. The current kernel crashes within hours under SDR load. Additional fixes: - Blacklist aw859a WiFi driver (causes kernel instability) - Blacklist DVB modules for RTL-SDR - Lock libairspyhfSupport.so with chattr +i (SpyServer/SoapySDR conflict) - Mask systemd-networkd-wait-online - CPU governor: schedutil - usbcore.autosuspend=-1 for USB SDR dongles Running 3 SDRs simultaneously: RTL-SDR Blog V4, Airspy HF+, dedicated ADS-B. 4 antennas via HMC241 GPIO RF switch. 30+ decoders. Full Android control. Complete guide: https://ozcet.github.io/sdr-server-guide

I installed pihole and unbound with Armbian's ready-made config installation, but I can't access the interface of the pihole.

For some reason, the CPU frequency in Ubuntu is set to 1416000 while the hardware can reach 1512000, which is an improvement of about 6 and a half in CPU performance. I would appreciate a change or explanation. Thank you very much for everything.

Hello, I have a new LCD which I believe is an ili4988 (although the vendor says ili9486 and st7796) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803856059047.html I have read somewhere, that I can use an ili9341 spi driver, only by changing the resolution and changing the initialization script. I looked in the waveshare website and github, they don't have anything for the ili9488 Then, I found some arduino code in http://www.lcdwiki.com/3.5inch_SPI_Module_ILI9488_SKU%3AMSP3520 (look for the "3.5 inch SPI Module Package(ILI9488)" link, then find the LCDWIKI_SPI.cpp The initialization sequence is in line 1697: I am currently trying to convert it to a DTS-format init string, so that it fits my ili9341-fb.dts, which I made earlier this year: I am unsure how to start the init line, can someone help me? Then, when I have that init string confirmed, I can use: https://github.com/notro/panel-mipi-dbi/wiki https://blog.csdn.net/CNflysky/article/details/125171176 To switch to the mipi-dbi driver, which would get me DRM (instead of FB)

Thanks! Sorry for my English I'm on google.

I’m running Armbian debian minimal image on my Orange Pi Zero 3, using the onboard WiFi (wlan0) with the unisoc_wifi driver. The WiFi consistently drops with logs like these: [ 11.048517] unisoc_wifi wlan0: mixed HW and IP checksum settings. [259241.515808] unisoc_wifi wlan0: sprdwl_report_connection Asus failed status code:30! [345665.483530] unisoc_wifi wlan0: sprdwl_report_connection sm_state (5), status: (2)! [345665.483567] unisoc_wifi wlan0: sprdwl_report_connection Asus failed status code:1! NetworkManager also reports: link timed out. Activation failed for connection 'Asus' After the crash, restarting NetworkManager doesn’t resolve the issue. Trying modprobe -r unisoc_wifi fails, saying the module is not found. The only way to fix it is to reboot the system. My USB WiFi dongle works fine without these issues, so it seems specific to the onboard WiFi. Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution for this driver? I'm getting to the point I'm going to write a cron job when the network drops to reboot the machine 🙃

I just upgraded my Linux Mint from 22.2 to 22.3 "Zena" ... CLEAN INSTALL, with "git" installed I started a typical armbian build folder, as per: https://github.com/armbian/build?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start But then I got this error: [🌱] Build host OS release [ zena ] [🌱] Build host architecture [ amd64 ] [💥] error! [ Unsupported build system: 'zena' ] I know that Mint 22.3 was released just last month, but I needed something in the new Linux kernel. I can use Mint 22.2 in another computer (where armbian is working OK)... but what is the typical delay for a new Linux Mint to become supported?

Should I downgrade to Linux 6.1.53?

Yesterday, I tried to use the digital IO in my opi zero3, with the Python GPIO package from https://opi-gpio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ by Richard Hull It depends on having sysfs files in /sys/class/gpio/ My original opi zero has these files and it works, but my opi zero3 doesn’t have these files I learned that /sys/class/gpio is created if the linux kernel is configured with a specific option ON, as suggested in the documentation: https://github.com/rm-hull/OPi.GPIO https://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO Also, a developer has made a change on the opi.GPIO project to support opi zero3 https://github.com/rm-hull/OPi.GPIO/issues/79 I will have time to try this tomorrow... but I want to ask: is anyone using GPIO in its most basic way? As reference: I saw this older thread about zero3's GPIO... https://forum.armbian.com/topic/31493-how-to-enable-i2c3-on-orange-pi-zero-3/ It is using leebobby's "armbian" image, with raspi-config, and wiringpi Using my original opi-zero, I never needed to use armbian-config to enable basic gpio and the python opi.gpio just worked as documented Note: the opi.gpio only claims to support basic gpio, not i2c. Update: these are interesting potential solutions and discussions (but they are all from before there was armbian for opiz3) https://www.reddit.com/r/OrangePI/comments/16vfa4g/orange_pi_zero_3_gpio_python_library/ https://github.com/eutim/OPI.GPIO https://www.reddit.com/r/OrangePI/comments/16ioyri/gpio_python_library_for_orange_pi_zero_3/ https://www.reddit.com/r/OrangePI/comments/18iveo3/how_to_control_gpio_pins_in_android_orange_pi/

If anyone in interested in a lightweight wayland desktop, inspired by openbox, you should try labwc. In orange pi zero 3, we need to stay in bookworm to get video acceleration, so this guide helps build labwc in bookworm As a greeter, I chose pi-greeter, because it is the lightest login manager I could setup, without any X11 https://github.com/robertojguerra/opiz3-labwc-setup I am open to read any improvements, or show me how I could make deb packages. In the near future, I will make a step-by-step video tutorial in Youtube.

Hello, I have been trying to get sound working on my Orange Pi Zero 3, and I am facing persistent issues. I installed every operating system listed on Armbian’s Orange Pi Zero 3 page and followed all the standard setup procedures. Despite updating all packages and even performing kernel updates, I have never been able to get any sound output from the device. I have checked multiple configurations, tried different OS images, and ensured that all drivers are up to date, but nothing works. The device otherwise functions normally, but audio simply does not come through under any circumstances. Could you please provide guidance or a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a reply to treii28's post from 2023: To enable i2c on PH4 and PH5 pins, one would have to have to following lines in /boot/armbianEnv.txt files: Reboot and see the new devices with: Scan for all the connected i2c devices: All relevant (and some extra) overlays can be seen with the following command: To see the configuration one could disassemble the dtb binary file and search it's contents for i2c3-ph Whenever making changes it would be the best to connect a serial monitor to the physical serial pins (3 separate pins labeled with UART and GND, RX, TX) to see kernel output at boot (115200 baud rate). The kernel log would have a line for loading the dtbo (or maybe an error for missing file: For easier reference there are included lsmod output, kernel config and dts files from an armbian and the opiz version for "original" debian image (distributed by a sketchy Google drive link, it runs an unnecessary service with weird software repositories enabled by default). lsmod-armbian lsmod-opiz kernel-armbian.config kernel-opiz.config opz3-armbian.dts opiz3-opiz.dts

Hi, I have an Orange Pi Zero 3 with Allwinner H618 (1GB RAM version). The CPU specs say up to 1.5 GHz (1512000 kHz), and it hits that fine on other distros (like official Orange Pi Ubuntu images or Debian builds). But on Armbian, max freq is stuck at 1416000 kHz, even on latest kernels. Board: Orange Pi Zero 3 (H618, 1GB RAM) Armbian Version: Armbian Bookworm (fresh SD flash, ran armbian-upgrade after boot) Kernel Versions Tested: 6.12.43-current-sunxi64 6.12.47-current-sunxi64 6.15.4-edge-sunxi64 6.16.8-edge-sunxi64 (current edge, i think) What happens: scaling_available_frequencies only goes up to 1416000. With governor=performance and MAX_SPEED=1512000 in cpufrequtils, under load (stress --cpu 4) it never goes above 1416000. No throttling (temps <65°C with heatsink, armbianmonitor clean). dmesg says "sun50i_cpufreq_nvmem: Using CPU speed bin speed0" and seems to fallback to H616 limits, cutting OPP table. Tried: armbian-config to switch kernels. Edit /etc/default/cpufrequtils (GOVERNOR=performance, MAX_SPEED=1512000). extraargs=cpufreq.default_governor=performance in /boot/armbianEnv.txt. No DTB changes (don't want to break stuff). On non-Armbian (e.g., Orange Pi's Ubuntu 24.04), 1512000 shows in available freqs and runs full speed. Armbian works for basics (WiFi, Ethernet, local server), but this caps perf by ~7%. Attached outputs from 6.16.8-edge. How to unlock full OPP for H618 speed bin 0? Thanks. By the way, this is my first time using Armbian and posting on the forum, so sorry if anything's off. Zaplemon freq_info.txt dmesg_cpufreq.txt armbianmonitor_load.txt uname.txt

Hi everyone, I'm using the Orange Pi Zero 3 and would really appreciate a lightweight desktop image with just the XFCE desktop, a web browser, and basic tools (like file manager, terminal, etc.) with video acceleration. The current Armbian desktop image works, but it includes a lot of software I don’t need. I’m looking for something more minimal — just enough for light use and a faster experience. Does anyone have (or know how to build) a stripped-down XFCE image for this board? Thanks in advance!

This is not solved the only tag I can add is solved. How do I change that I have an orange pi zero 3 and am trying to ssh into this board. Ive written all three minimal files to different 32gb sd cards. After I write the drive I add a blank ssh file and a wpa_supplicante.conf file with my wifi info on it. I install the os with balanaetecher or Rufus(I've tried so many things. I find my IP when I try to ssh doesn't work) but I can ping the zero. I've tried windows 8.1, and 11 plus Linux mint same thing. Could someone please help me? This probably should take 20 minutes but I've been at it for 2.5 days

I see the device tree file here: ``` /boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay/sun50i-h616-uart5-ph.dtbo ``` But after adding `overlays=uart5-ph` to `armbianEnv.txt` and rebooting, I'm not getting any new serial device created. Any idea what I need to do?

Every time the device is turned on, I can start hostapd for the first time. When I ctrl-terminate, the next time I start hostapd, I get an error message: Failed to set beacon parameters Interface initialization failed wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED wlan0: AP-DISABLED wlan0: Unable to setup interface. wlan0: interface state DISABLED->DISABLED wlan0: AP-DISABLED wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0

I'm trying to configure the CS (Chip Select) pin on my Orange Pi Zero 3. I added overlays=spi-spidev to the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file, created my own dtbo file, and tried all possible methods suggested by ChatGPT. I've been struggling for two weeks with no success. I haven't been able to switch the CE1 pin to alt4 state; it only stays off, nothing else. Is it even possible to work with SPI on this board?
