运行nandinstall后卡死在第一张图，拔除tf卡后重启，卡死在第二张图，用tf卡还可以启动，但是重新nandinstall也是一样的结果。

Could you please make all the necessary files and ideally a short document describing how to build Cubian from scratch?

This would allow contributors to tinker with it more easily and potentially create derivative versions - I'd personally be very interested to create an Ubuntu flavor of it.

Thanks.

Driver not found in r2 version
I need to connect an Arduino via serial

ls /dev/ttyUSB0
ls: cannot access /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory

我想让系统容量更大一些，使用的是32G sd卡，第一个分区只使用了1G（貌似），我使用fdisk ,resize2fs 对这个分区进行重新分区后，fdisk显示的块是增加了,但是使用df 检测的时候，空间依然没有增加。因此，扩容失败。

如果我直接将img的第一个分区挂载到我系统上，使用cp 复制所有文件到sd卡第一个分区，cubie无法启动。

如果我dd img第一个分区到sd卡的第一个分区，df显示我使用了非常大的空间。（大概有17G）

我将这个img文件里面的两个img文件更换位置，然后直接dd到sd卡中，修改fstab文件，系统无法启动。

求教我需要如何解决呢

Using and freshly flashed image on an SD card booting a Cubie1. It is hanging for an extended time (1min or so) at the end of the boot sequence.

Terminal ouput:
[ ok ] Setting sysfs variables....
<7>eth0: no IPv6 routers present
Timeout reached while wating for return value
Killing background process.
done.

If I have the network cable disconnected, this hangup doesn't happen. I think one of the startup services is hanging and not completing for some reason and thus create the boot hang.

非要重装？

What is the reason that an idle system load is always 1? It should be 0.00 isnt?

Hi, I'm trying to disable all the messages that go to ttyS0 during boot/kernel messages as I want to use the hardware serial port to talk to a microcontroller.

I have tried removing the line console=ttyS0,115200 from /boot/boot.cmd and then running: mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d boot.cmd boot.scr
That doesn't seem to remove the messages going to ttyS0

I also tried modifying /etc/sysctl.conf and uncommented the line
kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3 to try to reduce the messages going to the serial port.

Neither of these methods made any difference. What do you suggest I try next?

Thanks :)

可能大家已经注意到，cb的负载总是非常高，无论是PHP探针，还是登陆进去之后用htop等查看，都能得到相同的结论。

这是因为自动变频引起的。当没啥事的时候，CPU频率就会维持在很低的水准。

我们可以通过一个工具来查看和调整cpu频率：
sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils
sudo cpufreq-info

fy > cpufreq-info
...
maximum transition latency: 2.00 ms.
hardware limits: 60.0 MHz - 1.01 GHz
...
current CPU frequency is 204 MHz.
...

关于cpufrequtils这一套工具，我就不多说了。可以看看这篇文章：
http://blog.csdn.net/share_idea/article/details/7548037

利用这套工具可以查看CPU信息、调整频率、设定性能方案、超频等等。

除此之外，可能有人注意到板子上执行一些实时性要求较高的程序比较卡，例如VIM。

我调查了一下，认为这个与动态变频有关。
板子上默认的linaro或者是android镜像，动态变频时最低频率设定为60Mhz。
而我使用的 cubian 更为极端，最低频率为 30 Mhz。

变频的延迟导致了卡顿的问题，这一点在低频率下启动一个稍大的程序时较为明显。
vim非常常用，所以比较突出，我第一时间注意到了。在PageUp PageDown还有上下滚动时候都能轻松复现。

附上一组我的环境数据：
tmux 开四个子窗口，里头的terminal是zsh
其中两个窗口开启vim，一个运行非常简单的python-tornado server，另一个闲置。

此时卡顿十分明显，将变频的最低频率调整为200Mhz时，问题得以解决。

希望cubie团队重视一下，究竟是内核算法问题，还是涉及到硬件问题？
同时也希望遇到与我有相同困扰的同学得以解决问题。

r3 fixed top level /sys/class/gpio directory permissions yet when you activate a pin using echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/export it creates a directory based on the pin activated which then must also contain the same permissions. This newly activated subdirectory currently does not have correct permissions.

Example:

echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/export (correct permissions)

----- results in creation of /sys/class/gpio/gpio1_pg0 which returns the ls -l:

total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jun 26 01:31 active_low
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jun 26 01:31 device -> ../../../gpio-sunxi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jun 26 01:31 direction
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jun 26 01:31 power
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jun 26 01:30 subsystem -> ../../../../../class/gpio
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jun 26 01:30 uevent
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jun 26 01:31 value

these folders need to be executable in order to send commands to the GPIO pins as follows:

echo 'out' > /sys/class/gpio/gpio1_pg0/direction
-bash: direction: Permission denied

or

echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio1_pg0/value
-bash: direction: Permission denied

github.io的链接全挂，修复一下吧。

I don't know if this is a serial only issue but I am unable to use sudo, although the default user (cubie) owns large portions of the file system so I can write to configuration files.

The error message when I try to use sudo is:
sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?

Hi,

By default /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
is on ondemand, this makes cubian looking slower than other distribution.

Add a bit on the wiki about it or add a script in init.d such as

#!/bin/sh

# chkconfig: 345 99 10
# description: Startup/shutdown script to enable ondemand / performance
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Should-Stop:       $all
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Performance / Ondemand scaling governor
### END INIT INFO

for CPUFREQ in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
        do
                [ -f $CPUFREQ ] || continue
                echo -n performance > $CPUFREQ
        done

Is there anyway to install the kernel headers package for version 3.4.43? I can only seem to find the packages for the wheezy version (3.2.0). I'm trying to build a usb wifi driver that's normally in the rt2800usb module. Thanks!

nand上使用带日志的ext4非常不利。建议格式化时：
mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal $NANDB

此外NANDC挂载在/mnt/nandc 缺乏实际意义，不如并入根分区或者挂成 /opt 或者其他什么东西。

FATAL: Module ip_tables not found

please compile netfilter to kernel

Hi,

I want to compile the batman-adv routing kernel module on my cubian system. But I believe I need the kernel headers for /lib/modules/x.y.z/build.

How do I get these?

Hi,

thanks for a great image. I installed it on my sd card and booted up the cubiboard, I can ssh in just fine, my big problem is I would like to connect the board up to my screen - I have an hdmi cable. I tried this, but the screen just says there is no signal.

Nice work you've done !

I'm unable to load the ipv6 module, don't you want to compile your next release with the module ?

thx bye

Hello,

I am using the Cubieboard together with my mac and would like to have my HFS+ formatted media disk attached to Cubieboard that will distrubute it as media server. Could you please compile hfsplus support into the kernel and incorporate HFS+ as standard filesystem to Cubian? On Raspberry Pi that works since some newer version:

Hexxeh/rpi-firmware@c3270ad

Cheers!

Refer to the Debian Wiki, it's better to config it.

The swap space might reduce the lifetime of SD-card and NAND,please disable swap area by default. If someone is willing to take the risk.They can just uncomment the line on /etc/fstab

After setting up the GPIO driver gpio_sunxi and modifying the .fex to set up some gpio pins..exporting those pins using echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/export fails due to permissions error.

/sys/class/gpio is owned by root and group root requiring a temporary solution that includes creating group gpio, assigning group gpio to user and chgrp /sys/class/gpio recursively to gpio while chmod 775 recursively to same /sys/class/gpio.

This resets on reboot requiring a fresh setup on each boot before default cubie user can work with the gpio pins using /sys/class/gpio.

Hi,
Are you curently working on CubieBoard 2 ?
Sorry for opening an issue for that, but I haven't find an other way to contact you ...
Best regards
Vivien

Please

I want to use an Arduino connected to cubieboard, put the FTDI driver is not available.

Look
Ubuntu or other Debian based systems
The FTDI Driver is included with Ubuntu/Debian. After plugging in the USB cable, you can find your device under /dev/ttyUSB0 (and ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2, etc, if you have more) or /dev/ttyACM0
url: http://wiki.ultimaker.com/FTDI_Driver_installation

Thanks.

I am trying to customize the boot settings by making changes in /boot to either uEnv.txt or script.bin

As soon as I change one of these files, even with minor changes that should be harmless, the Cubieboard cannot boot and gives me the following error (obtained when changing uEnv.txt - changes to script.bin yeld to a slightly different message).

Restoring the original file then allows to board to boot normally.

Am I doing anything wrong or am I hitting a bug?

Hi, is possible to define de video memory size like a raspi-config in Raspbian?
Thanks.

Can you clarify in the README if Cubieboard2 is supported?
Thanks

How can I make only one partition, one for boot and one for the /?

Cubieplayer, hi there!

EDIT: i'm using fresh debian wheezy as a base system to compile the kernel.

Would you please give me some directions of how to compile kernel? I mean, check the steps i've made:

1. checkout the sunxi-3.4 branch
2. copy your kernel config and renamed.
3. then i follow theses steps: http://jas-hacks.blogspot.com.br/2012/10/hackberry-a10-compiling-kernel-armhfs.html

After copying uImage to /boot and the modules to /lib/modules the cubieboard doesn't boot.

I also saw in another post that you tell to use your toolchain, so i did it too. But when i try to compile, the gcc command from your toolchain says 'no such file or directory'. i've checked, the file exists(obviously) but i don't know why it doesn't run.

PS. when checking on the toolchain, i see there's a new 2013.05, do you use this one now?

hope u can help. regards

I just have got my first cubieboard and have tried Cubian r4 there. The installation to NAND script finishes successfully only if 'apt-get update' was done after launching from SD card. I think it's OK, but it's worth to be mentioned somewhere on installation wiki page.
Please consider.

Love cubian on my new cubieboard2. I set up cubian today on the CB2 and loved it. Used cubian to setup apache, php, mysql and a lot of tools and utilities to use it as an educational server, in one hour.
I'd like to use cubieboards with cubian to replace lots of Raspberry Pis in schools.
The only thing that is preventing me is I couldn't get any of my USB wireless adapters using Ralink chipsets ( RT3070 or RT5370), which work great on Wheezy on the Raspberry Pi (and I can run them in AP mode with hostapd on the Pi)

I installed firmware-ralink but to no avail.
What needs to be done on Cubian to get these USB wireless adapters recognized? Any special driver needed?

2 Sample adapters I tried:
ID 0411:015d BUFFALO INC. (formerly MelCo., Inc.) WLI-UC-GN Wireless LAN Adapter [Ralink RT3070]
ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter

How add module driver for wifi-usb RTL8187L?

請問下面 nand size 正確嗎？？？

我输入的密码就是 cubie 但还是连不上

系统 Debian 7
环境 Xfce 4.8.6

Should enable GPIO driver by default and set up all pins available for stock usage out of the box.

For using some wireless Logitech Keyboards and Mouse (or Combinations like the K400) we need the HiDraw Option enabled in the Kernel-Options.

Without HiDraw these Input-Devices dont work with Cubian :-( (they also dont work in Linaro for CubieBoard).

In Distros for the Raspberry HiDraw ist enabled and the Input-Devices do work with the RPi.

Many thanks in advance

At each reboot the Cubieboard will generate a random MAC address. This is often not desirable.

I'd suggest that at the first boot, a script captures the randomly generated MAC address and pins it in /etc/network/interfaces using the following syntax.

iface eth0 inet dhcp
    hwaddress ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

As a temporary workaround this could also be added to the documentation.

Hi!

Thanks a lot for Cubian, this is great work!

I've noticed that the system came with existing SSH keys, which is a security concern. The fix is to regenerate them by running:

rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*
dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

This could either be added to the documentation, or even better taken care of in a startup script that would run once.

Hi,

Thanks for this awesome distribution.
Everything is great and stable except that I cannot forward individual user traffic via another gateway as I did on debian x86 and raspbian.

root@Cubian:~# iptables -m owner —uid-owner 101 -j MARK —set-mark 0x1 -t mangle -A OUTPUT
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

"-m owner" is not working. When I installed xtables-addons-common it downloaded old kernel and I was unable to switch to it.

How I can switch to another kernel or are there any other way to get the "-m owner" working?

Thanks

Hello!

Thanks for this great project!

Would it be possible to add an initial WiFi-Setup / create an SD-Card installer like with Raspbmc?

http://www.raspbmc.com/wiki/user/os-x-linux-installation/

They give you the opportunity to setup WiFi before first boot, thus a headless install is possible. Since I don't have an HDMI monitor, I'd be very happy if I could immediately login via WiFi and SSH.

Thanks!
Cheers!

Hi,
please, can you compile to me the driver for this USB Ethernet Adapter?
ASIX AX88772: http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88772C_772B_772A_760_772_178_LINUX_Driver_v4.10.0_Source.tar.bz2

Thanks.

Congratulations for your nice job!

The Cubieboard is a great NFS filer option and I was super sad to see that there are no NFSD options in the kernel as compiled :(

Can you please make this happen asap? I was planning on migrating all of my files to this little Cubian box but I won't be able to until then.

Thanks

It would be nice to have a firmware update command similar to https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update

which would pull from the linux-sunxi repo.
