Hi,

 

I have and Orange Pi PC board on which I'm trying to use Armbian from yestarday, "trying" because I have several different problems on which I investigated also on this forum, but I'm unable to solve at the moment (the reason because I'm writing here). Let's start from the beginning.

 

I downloaded the armbian image from armbian website (https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/), version I'm using now is Armbian 20.08.1 Buster with Linux 5.8.5-sunxi, but I have tried also other versions with exact same behaviour.  The first problem is time synchronization

  

root@orangepipc:~# timedatectl
               Local time: Thu 2020-09-03 16:34:17 CEST
           Universal time: Thu 2020-09-03 14:34:17 UTC
                 RTC time: Thu 1970-01-01 07:54:18
                Time zone: Europe/Rome (CEST, +0200)
System clock synchronized: no
              NTP service: inactive
          RTC in local TZ: no

In this forum I found that a possible solution could be uninstall/install chrony, but if I'm able to remove this I'm not able to reinstall

In general I'm not able to use apt at all...

DNS resolution and ping of the server to which apt is unable to connect are working fine

If i put url http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/InRelease in web browser it's working, so the problem is not server unavailability.

 

I don't have trouble with my LAN

I have also problem using GPIO but it's a secondary trouble for the moment. I do not know what to do, I need help because in this way Armbian is useless on my board.

 

Thanks in advance,

Daniele.

Obviously also armbianmonitor is not able to connect to external host

  

root@orangepipc:~# armbianmonitor -u
System diagnosis information will now be uploaded to curl: (7) Failed to connect to ix.io port 80: Connection refused
Please post the URL in the forum where you've been asked for.

This is response of armbianmonitor -U command

There is something broken with network but I can confirm that I have no problem on my LAN and that orange pi pc board correctly receive ip address from DHCP and it's able to resolve and ping external hosts...

 

Thanks

Daniele.

My Orangepi PC have a broken SD card slot so I was not able to reproduce the problem on the exact same hardware. I choose similar one, Nanopi M1 and I have no issues.

Thanks for your reply Igor,

 

if you want I can give you ssh access to my board, so you can check by yourself the problem... let me know, thanks

external firewall issue?

But why only for this board? I have no problem updating raspberry pi with raspbian os, and so for other linux distros I'm using. This is first time I use armbian because I have four orange pi pc boards and from what I saw this is the best OS for them. Anyway I rebooted router with no luck, there is no additional firewall between orange pi and my router

 

Thanks

D.

  • boot without attaching anything to the USB
  • change network cable / port
  • make sure to power via power connector, not via mUSB

Problem exists only if we can reproduce it. Let's wait if someone will. I can't.

I don't know if it's a general armbian problem, probably it's only a my problem, what I can tell you for sure is that I tried two different boards and two different sd, so I am led to exclude an hardware issue. I need help because I don't know armbian and this problem is blocking, for this reason if you (or anyone who wants) want I can share ssh access.  I don't really know how to move forward with this problem...

Wait a moment: with another orange pi and the same card it worked. I try to understand what the difference is...

Hardware quality issues are possible even Oranges are actually among best made HW ... nothing that Armbian can do about.

Rare occurrence but boards can be broken too.

 

I had an issue with an OPi One that could not stay online for more than a few hours without freezing. The very same sd card inserted into another OPi One worked flawless for multiple days.

At the bottom line and after wasting many hours of try'n'error I assume the current path from the barrel plug to the board or the barrel plug itself had a defective connection because powering via GPIO solved the issue.

Yes,

 

probably it's broken hardware. It's a strange behaviour however, the board does not freeze and run well but some network traffic is filtered... bah....

Now I have a problem using orange pi pc microphone... :)

There were a couple of threads relating to microphones. Try utilizing the search function (sort by date to get newer results first).

 

I'll mark this one here as "solved" since it is - well - kind of ... :mellow:
