Rockchip

Hi there!!! LTNS. Not pretending to ask for a solution. Just curious, what am I doing wrong, after a decade with Armbian. ;) A new Chinese board with RK3567, quite similar to kickPi. Boots up to "INFO: BL31: Initializing BL32" then hangs. Changing DTB in armbianEnv.txt does nothing, same is for verbosity. I guess there's some pre-DTB in uboot, as I recall, this is common with RK chips. And it seems to not match my hardware. Any reasonable way to fix, before i rebuild the whole image? Thanks in advance!

@prahal There are two versions of the bootloader in the repository (edge and current). I just tried the current u-boot from the repository. It works but dmesg outputs seven of the following messages: [ 9.674633] rockchip-i2s ff8a0000.i2s: Could not register PCM This note mentions that such error messages could mean that DMA and sound are missing in the linux kernel, could this be ignored ? P.S.: Those messages are not thrown if the recommended bootloader (linux-u-boot-edge-helios64_22.02.1_arm64) is flashed to emmc.

Building Jammy works fine, but if I select Kineic for example using this ./compile.sh BOARD=rock-5b BRANCH=legacy RELEASE=kinetic COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=img KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no it fails in this way [🌱] Installing base system with 5 packages [ Stage 1/2 ] [🔨] E: No such script: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/kinetic [💥] error! [ Debootstrap first stage failed kinetic no ] Now I re-fetched a new Armbian git but the problem remains. Why?

my Helios64 Board is now so unstable -- it on its own isn't worth putting in more of my time... but the rest of the NAS system "seems" fine -- so is there anything I can replace the logic board with ?? are there any "working" boards to be purchased anywhere? I've looked all over and the board "seems" close to the tinkerboard but I don't think it is one. I believe that it was a custom build. anyone else just try to replace the board and move on?

Hello. I have not been able to make the ethernet port working on a MKS Pi board with the latest armbian image found here : https://www.armbian.com/mks-pi/ I don't even get a link led ON on the ethernet connector when connected. Can anyone offer guidance? Thanks! P.S. I could not find a MKS-PI tag in the tag menu to identify this thread correctly. Can anyone fix this?

I see the latest images for the Rock64 are marked as desktop. I am looking for a lightweight server only version. I still have an older server version that I downloaded a while ago, specifically 5.59. If I install 5.59, can I do and apt-get update/apt-get upgrade to get to the latest version? Any issues with that approach? Thanks!

Hi everybody, I am currently facing some struggles with the nanoPC-T4 recently bought to run armbian. When I got the board, I was able to run android default installed OS, but also armbian from a SD card. But along the way, I decided to install armbian on an NVMe SSD memory to prevent running the OS from the SD card, anyway ... That when I started playing to with the kernel build, u-boot, flashing the emmc etc .. I tried couple of times using the rockchip tool : developtool in MASKROM to play with the EMMC because I couldn't boot from the SD card, and wanted to start with a clean emmc, but every time the tool had to execute a libusb_bulk_transfer, …

Hello, people. I have an Orange Pi 5 MAX, Is there any image for this board? I'm tying Armbian_25.2.3_Uefi-arm64_bookworm_current_6.12.20_xfce_desktop, but I don't know is it's the proper version. I will appreciate any help or indication. Greetings from Argentina PS The form requires tags, but I only can select the tag "solved", that's wrong, itś not solved. I don´t know how to add tags

I'm trying to run the example.cpp that comes with Pine64-CPP but I am throwing segmentation faults. The man-setup() call initialzes the board with the following if statement in the setup() function in gpio.cpp if((uint64_t)gpio_mem % PAGE_SIZE) and the this->gpioMap = statement that uses SUNXI_GPIO_BASE In the example code, I initialize the pin with man->pinMode (PI_GPIO_24, OUTPUT); The pinMode function in gpio.cpp, launches _setPullupdn with gpio=78 and pud = 1. As expected Inside _setPullupdn, the following is set bank= 2 index = 0 offset = 28 The s…

Hello, today i try a USB C to HDMI Adapter and i get some picture on tv but it´s really unreadable and my log is full of this: rockchip-vop ff8f0000.vop: [drm:vop_plane_atomic_update [rockchipdrm]] *ERROR* Maximum dst width (3840) exceeded it is possible to restrict the resolution in the terminal? i think this error ocure because to high resolution or wrong detection Thank you

By pure accident, I discovered that Ctrl-Alt-F1 while the P2 is booting brings up more options on mine that allows the deletion of firmware and clearing of emmc. I have not done it but the menus are there.

Hello, So is anyone aware of a way (like a text file)to populate with values etc to bypass the need to be interactive during first boot? Since this device is displayless and I hate to pop the case every time to hookup the console cable when setting up a half dozen devices. I imagine I could alter the first boot script, but was just wondering if there was another way. Thanks! Richard

Trying to download new images off the Helios64 page but every link seems to lead nowhere: This armbian.lv.auroradev.org page can’t be found No webpage was found for the web address: https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/dl/helios64/archive/Armbian_25.5.1_Helios64_bookworm_current_6.12.28_minimal.img.xz HTTP ERROR 404 Is there another place to get these?

Hello all! I have a NanoPC-T4 and I'm currently using Android 8.1. I suppose I could flash Ubuntu to try this, but before that, here goes. I'm trying to use a USB 4G dongle with it. I get no recognition of the device. No RNDIS or any notification at all. Fresh install. Any ideas? Also, has anyone tried to come up with a method of root for android on this device? It's a super cool sbc! Thanks!

Dear all I have a nanopc T6 with kernel 5.10.160 bullseye and omv 6 EMC 256gb avec NVME I would like to pass on omv 7 with bookworm. I found this command which change all automatically and keep the configuration. "omv-release-upgrade" Could you please confirm that this command could be used with armbian or an other metod exist ? Thanks in advance for your support.

Hello, thank you for your new image work. However, although I wrote to write your image to emmc or sd card, the device does not respond at all. The previous version Armbian_23.11.1_Panther-x2_bookworm_current_6.1.63.img.xz works normally on my panther device. The new version and minimal iot version do not boot at all. I kindly request your information about Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.25_Panther-x2_bookworm_current_6.6.47_minimal .img.xz.

Hello, how to get I2C-2 device support in overlay? I have checked /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/README.rockchip-overlays and only i2c-7 and i2c-8 seems to be there. GPIO pins are here GPIO2_A0 and GPIO2_A1 https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/gpio#Rock_Pi_4A_.2F_4A_Plus_.2F_4B_.2F_4B_Plus_.2F_4C_.2F_4C_Plus.28.3E.3DV1.2.29_general_purpose_input-output_.28GPIO.29_connector Thank you!

Curious if anybody else with tick-stop error? Not certain if this applies; the only change is installing Docker and Pi-Hole containerized. A quick read seems related to a soft interrupt of 8; - The only solution I could find by googling; is: "Add nohz=off to the kernel parameters during boot to disable it." Can I safely ignore this error message; or should I do this nohz=off to the kernel parms?

Like the title says, when I open armbian-config on my brand new NanoPi M4N2 I don't see a "Hardware" entry in the menu... is this expected? Only reason I wanted to access is to ensure I disable WiFi as I am only using Ethernet. For the record, I'm powering it with a 5V 4A PoE adapter, using a Samsung SD-card flashed with Armbian_20.05.7_Nanopim4v2_buster_current_5.4.49.img. I'm using a 256GB Sabrent M.2 NVME SSD as the main disk (configured via armbian-config), so the SSD card is for initial booting only.

Anyone know a solution for this?

Hello, I will soon be selling a working Helios64 from Kobol (with 2.5G fix done from factory). I also have 3x 6TB hard drive that could come with it if needed. Based in France, I'm able to send within EU. Please DM me if interested.

I am trying to get a camera going on the Nanopi-m4 (I have tried another board as well with similar results). The sensor is setup in the device tree correctly and gets probed on boot. However there are some issues when loading rkisp1.

Will there be support for the RK3399PRO processor? e.g. for a Rocki pi N10 SBC?

Hi, i just want to inform that onboard wifi (AP6275P) on Orange Pi 5b doesn't support at this moment. Is there any plan to support it in the future?

Title. I've tried installing libgl1-mesa-dri but support feels really broken (Brave crashing frequently, mismatching opengl version, etc.). Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

I just bought a FriendlyElec NanoPi Neo4 having had loads of experience with Armbian on Allwinner (OrangePi) boards. My preferred method for getting boards "up and running" is simply to connect a serial terminal to the debug port and power on. I tried this with several Armbian Buster images and found that I couldn't log in as root on any of them. Checking the SD card on my laptop, the debug port (ttyFIQ0) was missing from /etc/securetty. Editing /etc/securetty and adding ttyFIQ0 on a new line at the bottom of the file and all is well and I now have Buster up and running on the Neo4 :-) root@nanopineo4:/etc# diff securetty~ s…

Hello everyone, I'm running the image from NanoPi R2S on a NanoPi R2C Plus (that has 8 GB eMMC). Is well working, but I would like to install the OS on the eMMC. Is it possible? Thanks.

Hi together, iam realy desperate and hope someone can help me with my problem. I think something crashed while I disconnected the USB-Cable in U-Boot Mode with helios64. Now Iam not able to see my m.2 SATA SSD in U-Boot Mode as USB Storage in my PC. I use the U-Boot mode from a SD-Card with a boot image. When I start some armbian System from SD-Card the m.2 SSD is visible and ready to use. I dont know what kind of logs do you need for my Problem. Sorry for that. :-( The only thing I want to do is to use my SATA m.2 SSD as armbian system drive with OpenMediaVault again. best regards sommer11 Infos to my device: https:…

@Contributor/Maintainer AR-1172 - fix complete 08 May 2022 There is was a bug in the 5.15, 5.16 and 5.17 kernel r8152 driver that affected RTL8153b Gigabit USB Ethernet (LAN0) on the Orange Pi R1plus LTS and other boards. The bug only presents on high load and I can trigger it reliably with bidirectional high load on Orange Pi R1plus LTS. The bug kills the RX interface and it requires power down to reset. I assume that it also affects the Orange Pi R1plus, and there are reports of it affecting NanoPi R2S. I would assume that other boards could be impacted. My proposed fix is to revert the driver back to the version used in 5.10 kernel (and to disa…

Checked latest armbian buster and focal. In both disks, connected to second USB (not the middle one) not recognized (nor fdisk -l, nor dmesg). In friendlywrt both USB ports work as expected. Hirsute 10.4.21 also fine.

I have the newest Armbian 28.08.0-trunk image running on a NanoPi R6C with a 4TB NVMe SSD. The NanoPi is only connected to power and 1G ethernet via the 1G WAN port. When using the machine as NAS with Samba and a Windows client connected there is a strange problem when receiving large files. The files are stored on the NVMe SSD with ~450MB/s read/write via PCIe 2.1x1. When transmitting files from the NanoPi to a SMB client the 1G ethernet is maxed out but when receiving files the connection drops down to ~60 MB/s every few seconds. This instantly gets fixed when using the 2.5G LAN port instead of the 1G WAN port. On that po…

Hi, hopefully my english and my linux skills are good enough (little bit experience with raspi and odroid i´ve setup Rock Pi 4 C with nvme boot from spi (first mmc) Armbian 21.02.3 Buster with Linux 5.10.21-rockchip64 after some difficulties to setup boot from nvme it is running on ADATA SX6000PNP when i perform reboot - mostly no reboot after disconnect power and reconnect no boot until i wait > 1 minute during the day i try sudo armbianmonitor - u and i get a link now when i use this command there is no more link serial console - i get no output but i can log in after a while Thanks

I have been trying to power on the Tinkerboard, but I haven't had any luck. The red power light never turns on What have i tried so far: I have tried connecting it to my PC using USB-C using a 12V power supply Using the Raspberry Pi USB-C Power Supply have even exchanged the device, but the issue persists.

Can someone please help me understand how Armbian for Rock64 is developed? In the past, there was an image for the Rock64 that was a server image, not a desktop image. Now, I see Ubuntu and a Debian Stretch desktop images, no server image. Is there a plan to build a server image going forward? Also, will a newer kernel be built at some point? Not trying to stir the pot or cause trouble, just trying to understand where the Rock64 support is going in the future. Thank you for all the spectacular work the Armbian team does.

Hello I just installed armbian (Gnome) on my NVME and all seems to work great (without SD card). So, the first issue I have is the resolution of the screen. I add 2560x1440 (1920x1080 was the maximum before) but the test in this mode not working. I think the cause is than I copy/paste the mode from a post on internet. In fact, cvt is not installed and impossible to calculate mysel the vesa CVT modline. How can I install CVT ? bash: cvt: command not found Thanks a lot Anakin

Hi Folks I am about to set up my helios64 nas on an imac mini m1 or an older intel imac mini. Buying the NAS was risky for me as I am a newbie to Linux. Nevertheless fortune favours the brave and all that. I am having difficulty finding the optimal set up of my helios64 NAS Do I buy a m.2 sata ssd and 4 western digital red pro hard drives? Do the hard drives have to be identical? Assuming I am buying Western Digital WD Red Pro NAS 4TB HDD, WD4003FFBX whats the best m.2 sata to pair up with these? I do have the 2.5 inch adapter.

Hey! I recently accidentally made my eMMC unbootable. I ordered this adapter, but the eMMC isn't getting picked up by any of my microSD adapters. Is there a way to hotplug the eMMC chip while booting from SD, like with the Pinebook Pro (which is also RK3399 based)? I'd really like to either repair or clear the eMMC so i could continue using it. Thanks!

I'm trying to enable i2c3 on my orange pi 5b, according to the user manual, i2c is disabled on the 26 header pins by default, and to enable them, you need to edit the /boot/orangepiEnv.txt file, however, my orange pi doesn't have that file. I tried creating a new file and copying the required instructions, then restarted linux, but it still didn't work. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or does anyone know how to resolve this?

Hello! Id like to use UART1 in NanoPi R2s , but i cant turn on it in armbian-config. There is only UART4.

I've got an OrangePi based on the Rockchip RK3399. The official OrangePi Debian version I'm using is Armbian-based I believe and uses a 5.10 kernel. I want to upgrade the kernel as later ones support some video features of the RK3399 I want to use. The problem is, if I build the kernel using the standard vanilla method from kernel.org sources even using the same config file from the running kernel without changing anything (make olddefconfig), the device won't boot when I symlink the new kernel to /boot/Image. Interestingly, it does boot if I symlink the new initrd to /boot/uInitrd, but only with the old kernel. Is there something special I need to do to the k…

Hi! My Helios64 crashed, rebooted, then refuses to continue. Seems something is corrupted : the eMMC module? The eMMC contains the /boot folder, then the rootfs is on 1st disk, sda1. So I didn't lose anything, I guess. I will try to boot an microSD card with armbian and if it works, I will boot from it. With the sd card, it doesn't boot, I will disable eMMC with the jumper as documented in the wiki Is it fixable?

Hi, I have started to work on a Nanopi Neo3 Plus image (rk3528-based, similar to Nanopi Zero2), announced early March 2026. Created a new .csc file, used the Nanopi Zero2 as a template. Built it with the vendor version. Built it with the vendor kernel., but added the "dt" directory with the rk3528-nanopi-rev02.dts to be "automatically" added to the dts directory and Makefile. The base console version seems to work ok when I generate a bookworm image. As I currently only need u-boot, kernel and dtb's to build my own OS (Volumio, volumio.org), it works for me. Of course, I would like to contribute my work (and support it?), but how do I …

Hello, Some weeks ago, I installed the "under development" version. File was named Armbian_22.11.0-trunk_Odroidm1_kinetic_edge_6.1.0-rc5.img.xz Now, I see that the "advertised" version is a rolling release armbian 22.11 Jammy. Based on this (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) page kinetic is an earlier version than jammy. If I scroll down the page ( https://www.armbian.com/odroid-m1/ ) , I see a kinetic rolling weekly release. I suspect that the kinetic is an unstabled release while Jammy 22.11 is. Please can you confirm/explain? If yes, is there a way to "downgrade" to the stable version? Thanks …

I have a weird issue where I have everything working as I want it a few different services running in docker (Pi-Hole, Motioneye, Home Assistant, Emby) and all their individual management pages are accessible. However as soon as i move the install over to emmc, all networking seems to break, with services no longer working, but some admin pages report everything is fine. Pi-Hole for example shows as running but no devices accessing the dns cant load webpages and the pi-hole management pages stop showing any further queries received. ive repeated the process of doing a clean install to sd , everything fine. move to emmc stops working ☹️

Hi! My Orange Pi 5 (no Pro, no Plus, no B…) was running Armbian, the Debian Bullseye flavour. It was running Linux `5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588`, then I installed the `linux-image-current-rockchip-rk3588` metapackage, which pulled and installed Linux `6.10.6-current-rockchip-rk3588`. Right after having installed such kernel, I tried to reboot the device, but the device never rebooted: it's just stuck at startup, nothings is displayed on screen and the device is not available on the network (doesn't do any DHCP request at all). I fully unplugged anything from the board, including removing and re-inserting the microSD card. The device now refuses to boot since I up…

First of all thanks to the people maintaining armbian for helios64. I recently upgraded (well I reinstalled) to trixie and everything mostly runs stable for me. However I have a problem with the 2.5GB adapter. It is connected to a 2.5GB switch and when for example running iperf3 I get proper results close to 2.5 GBit. So in general it seems to be running ok. I have a DLNA server (minidlna) running on that machine and when I stream from my TV (streaming via VLC from my laptop triggers the same problems) the network connection drops for a moment and works again after a few seconds (which you can guess is super annoying when watching something). I am not sure wha…

First time user here. I got a Rock64 board and flashed Armbian_20.08.1_Rock64_focal_current_5.8.6_desktop.img using Etcher to an SD card. When I try to boot, nothing happens. If I examine the SD card on my Linux PC, there is only one partition on it and it appears to be a kernel image. I assumed that the .img file would have the U-Boot partition as well. Is there a different type of image file I should be using that would contain everything that I need to boot? If not, how do I create such an image?

Hello everybody ! I'm a newbie RK3288 and Miqi board. When using this board I'm get a idea "Why bring all firmware on SD card into eMMC", because Miqi board will run faster than using SD Card. But, I haven't found any guide to solve this. So, I hope you can help me. Thank for your reading TonyHCM.

Hi, I have tried multiple Rock Pi 4+ (Plus) boards, all of them run regular Debian well, so the hardware should be good. But when I tried Armbian, the 2 USB 3.0 ports were not working with logitech USB dongle or Samsung USB drives (which did work in regular Debian), I searched and found maybe they were in OTG mode and needed to be in HOST mode. I tried armbian-config then System -> Hardware, then enabled: dwc3-0-host rockpi4cplus-usb-host After reboot, the bottom USB 3.0 port would start working, yet the top one still wouldn't work. Otherwise, Armbian was the most user-friendly, fast and stable…

Hello guys! I bought https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005005675856892.html. As I know, there is no 3D acceleration in Debian Bookworm. So, my desigion is to install Armbian Jammy Gnome desktop. My questions are: 1) In what moment should I perform trick ? 2) Legacy is the only system I can install, or is it any way to install current system? I wish kernel v6 to be installed, but not the RC kernel. My experience with SMB is Rapberry Pi 3 B and 4 B. I used to install only Raspbian on that boards. Wish me luck guys :-))

Hi all, I have a Friendlyarm nanopi M4 running armbian, I have tried to install dotnet core without success - anyone here managed it ? I followed a tutorial but when I get to the apt-get install part I see this error Couldn't find any package by glob 'dotnet-sdk-2.2'

Hallo, I've been using Armbian on the NanoPi M4 V2 for a while and now I'm thinking about switchen from the legacy kernel to the current kernel. Unfortunately that's not so easy to do when using armbian-config. You could think you can just select the current-kernel in the list but you won't find it there. The reason is simple: the legacy kernel belongs to the rk3399-family and the current kernel is rockchip64. Which is basically the same, but from an organisational point of view it is not (please forgive me if I do not show an adequate technical precision here, the details and the plan to clean that up are explained here). What I would be intereste…

I tried the latest 6.8 kernel edge on my Rock 5A and noticed the CSI camera interface doesnt exist. Is there any plan or time schedule to fix that? I saw it's marked "TODO" on https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md . So in 6.9 perhaps? (A LOT of other stuff works remarkably well though, great work!)

I've been following this thread: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/nanopi-r6s-linux-6-3-arm-soc-updates/153072/14 downloaded the latest version. Decided to do some experimenting and found out that they use u-boot 2023.04. And after some experimenting I found out that it works with Armbian when I flash it to the internal storage. U-Boot 2017.09-armbian (Apr 25 2023 - 04:20:41 +0000) U-Boot SPL 2023.04-OpenWrt-r0-e283eb2 (Jun 12 2023 - 00:36:27 +0000) Whats the reason the armbian u-boot is so far behind ? (i know its WIP, just asking)

Hello everyone. I want to try to connect a custom AMOLED DSI display with orangepi 3b https://www.phoenixdisplay.com/product/color-displays/oled/at043qhd3008/ And there is practically no information. Maybe someone has seen or encountered similar problems? Do I understand correctly that the dts section on brightness adjustment does not need to be written, because AMOLED as such does not have a backlight? Is it possible to run such a display using simple-panel-dsi? Another interesting question is how to organize the power supply for such a display? It needs different voltages from 1.8 to 4.6 V

I'm trying to install wiringpi by following the instruction given here https://github.com/Pavelectric/WiringPi_M4. Most of the steps that I followed worked fine but when I do the very last command below, I get a following error, I googled how to deal with this kind of error, and some people tell that 'ContextualZipFile' in archive_util.py doesn't have to be installed so I just need to comment that out. Although, I couldn't find '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/setuptools-33.1.1-py3.6.egg/setuptools/archive_util.py', I did that comment out solution to the all files below, which I got by doing find-command-research Now I d…

I have an orange pi 5b running Armbian_24.2.1_Orangepi5_bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_cinnamon_desktop on EMMC just fine. i wanted to try a newer version with hardware acceleration so i tried Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5_bookworm_current_6.12.0_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop. I edited the file in the boot folder and could see the EMMC on reboot. i did a sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade. then an armbian-install to install it to the EMMC. it would not boot from the EMMC but i could at least still see it. Then i tried Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5_bookworm_vendor_6.1.75_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop and did the same but now i cant see the EMMC even with the ori…

Hi all! I'm having strange issue with Rock64. I downloaded latest Armbian 5.88 with 4.4.180 kernel. Installation and boot are ok, but when I try to do apt-get install lvm2 Package installs, configures and... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.180-rockchip64 update-initramfs: Converting to u-boot format Then I do root@rock64:~# sudo reboot And I'm getting a boot loop... Same effect, if I move system to SSD. At first I thought it was issue with ssd transferred system... But it clearly reproduced on freshly written with uSD only boot. I've dumped armbianmonitor output (ju…

Hi. I am kind of linux newbie. I want to use serial console with my Rock Pi S thru usb otg. I googled and found this from https://gist.github.com/lukicdarkoo/a87f79b1c25cd86bdc47a8784d6eee9c. I tried it but failed. And I found that there was not "sunxi_usb_duc" directory. Any advice would be apreciated. =============================== ok, I just found that these are for orange pi. Any guide for rock pi s? =============================== After install new image, now I can use serial console with usb otg.

Hi!, I am playing around with customizing my boot script (to install later my custom distro), and I am fighting with the Recovery. I took a long time to understand I have to press the recovery button during a "long time", then release it very quickly to get the UMS mode and not falling into the Maskrom mode. Indeed, when U-Boot detects the recovery button keypress, it proposes UMS, then very shortly after the Maskrom mode. Is it possible to configure U-Boot to wait longer on the UMS mode, let's say 5 seconds, and after that delay switch to Maskrom mode as latest failover? For info: I have Armbian running on EMMC, and I…

I have a nanopi neo3 rk3328. I would like to modify the i2s(1) at start. I tried to modify /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3328-nanopi-neo3-rev02.dtb but nothing change. Which is the right dtb file its load at start? Thank you.

Is it possible to activate PCIe ASPM L1 substates with the NanoPi R6C / RK3588s Soc in general? > lspci -vvv | grep ASPM LnkCtl: ASPM L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk+ L1SubCap: PCI-PM_L1.2+ PCI-PM_L1.1+ ASPM_L1.2+ ASPM_L1.1+ L1_PM_Substates+ L1SubCtl1: PCI-PM_L1.2- PCI-PM_L1.1- ASPM_L1.2- ASPM_L1.1- My M.2 NVMe SSD supports all L1 substates but setting pcie_aspm.policy to "powersupersave" has no effect. Max is "powersave" to activate ASPM L1 and that works. Is this a limitation of the SoC or just not implemented in the armbian driver / kernel?

I'm curious to experiment with LLMs on an RK3566 TV Box. I managed to build a working Debian disto for it, but wasn't able to locate any NPU support in the kernel configuration. Anyone know how to build such a kernel for the RK3566, with support for the inbuilt NPU, or preferably, how to add build a NPU kernel module that can be linked-in? Any hints, suggestion or links greatly appreciated. GBEM 👽

I am attempting to set up rock-5b-plus to use as a Desktop device, with OBS Studio for livestreaming.

Hi all, I have an Armbian installed on Orange PI 4B. I am trying to connect a flight controller to Orange PI 4B by using UART port. This board has a 40 pin header. I went to armbian-config, and enabled the UART1 and UART 4 which are available from armbian-config. I plug the UART port (to Pin 8 and pin 10) on the 40 pin header. Is that port UART 4? I am not sure. It does not work. I tried the debug port, but the Orange PI does not start up if something is plugged in to the debug UART port.

It's just plain Orange Pi 3B board with default factory config booted from SD card. As you can see most apps can't be started, they just fail silently. If started from terminal they log some exceptions. OS is completely unusable. Hardware is functional and it works well with the default Orange Pi images. Here is the demo video:

In distributions that include 4.x series kernels, pcie is detected and the built-in broadcom wireless chip is functional with the wl driver. I would like to move to a 5.x series kernel, but I noticed that pcie is not detected at all, and though wifi is detected with the brcmfmac driver, it will not function to scan or connect to anything. I grabbed the latest image from this week (have tried many previous, including building my own armbian image) but no luck. Has anyone gotten these items to work with a 5 series kernel?

I had tried twice making OPi3b img but it always gave me kernel panic. The reason is my SBC v2.1 while all sources / firmware used in build framework corresponds to v1.1.

Hi, I am trying to disable UAS mode on attached USB HDs (I have quite a good amount of those) to avoid quite common issues. However, it seems that the usb_storage.quirks string is limited to 127 chars! dmesg shows: usb_storage.quirks: string doesn't fit in 127 chars I do not really see the point of limiting the string length to 127 chars..a bit more would be appreciated.
