Hi, I'm new to armbian and I've started with RockPi4b board. I would like to add fan control with PWM, but adding pwm (or pwm0) overlay doesn't work. I can't also find the overlay for it at /boot/dtb-5.8.6-rockchip64/rockchip/overlay/. Is it supported? I've checked and the /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0 is present, but accessing export, as described here : doesn't work and /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0 is not present. I've tried to find pwm access examples for this board, but none of it works on armbian (all are vendor builds specific). Can anybody point me in the right direction or give any hint how to enable pwm? EDIT…

I own a CM3588 NAS board from FriendlyElec. The eMMC drive was factory-installed with the FriendlyElec version of OpenMediaVault, and any other FriendlyElec or Armbian image could be booted from an SD card. After installing the current version of Armbian OpenMediaVault (Debian 12 Bookworm - Armbian Linux v6.1 Build Date: Mar 6, 2025) on eMMC and updating bootloader via armbian-config (option Boot from eMMC + system on eMMC), nothing else can be booted from the SD card except Armbian images. Please, is there a simple way to fix bootloader back to original option of booting FriendlyElec images from SD card without having to erase entire eMMC drive? Boot from SD …

Hi, I try to get my NanoPC-T4 a second life. Therefore I want to (re-) install Armbian but I'm stuck Andi don't know why. I uses USBFlasher to flash the minimal Armbian on it (tried compressed and uncompressed) but the green blinking light indicates me, that he found no bootable device. I tried different images as well. Also differen SD cards, even DietPi image, always the same. The only thing which runs instant is one of the eflasher Images of FriendlyARM. I also tried to change the image that the eflasher writes to the eMMC (by copy the uncompressed .img file to the SD card and renamed it to armbian.raw and changed the config file as the wiki said)…

I have the latest revision of the armsom sige 5. This board has an updated Wi-Fi chip set. It was changed from RTL wireless to a Broadcom chip connecting to the rk3576 with SDIO 3.0. I grabbed the latest Armbian image and it appears in the device tree It is still referencing the RTL Wi-Fi device. has anyone encountered this and found a solution? Or has gotten Wi-Fi working? I’ve attached the device tree. sige5.dts

Has anyone activated the ov13855 camera on Orange Pi 5 (kernel 6.1.x)? If so, can you share your experience?

Has anyone managed to get Armbian on Orange Pi 5(b) output audio through the 3.5mm jack? The device seems to be recognised, but even after fiddling with everything imaginable through alsamixer, with speaker-test running in the background, I am unable to actually get any sound out. HDMI audio works without any problems. ChatGPT thinks it has something to do with GPIO routings not being properly set up. I'm running Armbian 25.2.3 noble (through `apt-get dist-upgrade`; I had to first install an older version from the archives to avoid bricking when installing on the eMMC). $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** c…

Hello, This is more informative. I saw the following news: https://www.armbian.com/newsflash/armbian-v25-2/ After seeing that you fixed USB3, I decided to update. For me, USB3 is not working. Stopped working and rngd If any additional information is needed, I will share.

Hello, I'm new to Armbian and SoC/ARM devices but I've installed Armbian on the device before, however after tinkering around with RKDevTool and installing FriendlyELEC images on it through USB I'm now unable to boot from SD Card. I've done the "EraseAll" procedure under unbricking method https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/CM3588#Windows_Users however it didn't help. I've tried two SD Cards and I have no idea what else I can do. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything useful on google. The error is: "Gave up waiting for root file system device." "ALERT!

Hello friends, Has anyone here successfully activated the I2S pins for connecting a DAC? According to the official documentation, the PCM functionality should be available on physical pins 12 (GPIO4_A6), 35 (GPIO3_C2), 38 (GPIO3_C0), and 40 (GPIO3_B7) of the GPIO header. I've tried many options - in the DTS overlay I've enabled various I2S variants starting from "i2s0_8ch" up to "i2s9_8ch", including different "pinctrl" m[0-1] variants like "i2s1m0" or "i2s1m1", and alternatively "i2s2m0" or "i2s2m1", but I've never managed to get ALT3 mode on the mentioned pins (I assume I2S function = ALT3 mode). In certain combinations, I can at leas…

I’m using an Android TV Box X96 X6. Right now, I want to find a way to install Armbian on it, but I haven’t been able to figure it out yet. I’d appreciate any help or guidance from the community.

Hi I'm trying to use Armbian with Orange pi 5 Ultra. So far so good The hdmirx is working great! I'm not able to control my gpio pins with PWM in equivalent to orange pi 5 ultra image. I guess that i need to load additional overlays, Am I correct? Please review the armbian logs here: https://paste.next.armbian.com/nekodihico I also noticed that pin numbers were changed if I compare it to the Orange pi OS. Thanks in advance!

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 have a rock 5c headless server running debian minimal with kernel 6.12.20. It runs fine for my use case, but the fan runs at full speed by default. I can manually set different fan speeds in /sys/devices/platform/pwm-fan/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1 I have selected 'fanctrl' in armbian-config, but this does not reduce the default speed of the fan. I noticed that there are some recent patches published here and here, I assume these patches are there to deal with the fan control deficiency? Could these patches either a) be applied to the rock 5c dts file that comes with the armbian image or b) perhaps it is better to create a user defined ove…

I did upgrade my NanoPi-R6C and see that there are no overlays in the linux-image-6.14.0-edge-rockchip64 Debian package; they were there in 6.14.0-rc4-edge-rockchip64 So there is no folder: /usr/lib/linux-image-6.14.0-edge-rockchip64/rockchip/overlay Is this on purpose or some mistake?

I've a set of Orange Pi 5 Max boards, all of them mounting fast NVME units. My plan was to use micro SD card to host the OS, but delegate all intensive writing (log, tmp) to a special partition on the NVME unit which will be used for OS and Application data (both for performance, and to extend the lifetime of the SD card). That way I can flash the OS disk as needed without worrying about flashing the data disk with it. I've seen that Armbian uses zram by default, but I'd like to keep the entire RAM available for the applications that will be running in the boards (NVME should be fast enough to not notice a massive impact vs using the RAM). As I have seen disab…

Hi, Thank you very much for the community support of Odroid M2. The latest release 25.5.0-trunk.256 works great, boot without any error messages. Only rolling release is available for now, but that doesn't matter. I would just like to ask for support on two issues: 1. monitor connection via USB-DP is not working - I don't know what is needed to make this connection work 2. some tree-overlay drivers specific to Odroid are missing - I mainly miss the ability to connect display-Vu8S (via MIPI-DSIdisplay_vu8s.dts). Source codes can be obtained directly from kardkernel images, but it is not in my power to compile them for armbian. best rega…

Radxa's github page indicates that the aic8800 wifi modules were updated a while ago to facilitate use with kernels 6.12 and 6.13. I don't see that the aic8800-sdio-dkms_3.0+ module works on the Rock 3c, in spite of the latest update. See my dkms build log below. The net result is no wifi on the Rock 3c with current Armbian kernels. @amazingfate - I noticed that you worked on these modules in the past, would you be able to assist?

Hello, I need to develop a new camera driver. I've already done a big part, but now I've faced with issue: [ 92.374493] rkisp rkisp-vir0: link validation failed for 'rockchip-csi2-dphy0':1 -> 'rkisp-csi-subdev':0, error -32 I know, that basically right, as dhy0 has sink pad, and my subdev has only source pad. But I don't know how to change the sides, or avoid it to link in such order. I've already spent a lot of time on this and still no luck. Do you have any ideas on how to avoid it linking in such order?

The images Debian Bookworm "Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.12" generate what I understand is bad partition information. Once flashed to the SD card, the partition won't be recognised by Linux hinted by the message "couldn't find valid filesystem superblock", therefore they can't be mounted. The desktop image is fine though and the partitions generated after flashing into the SD card are recognised by the "disks" application. I've also tried with the Ubuntu-rockchip image which also generates correct/mountable partition information. I've tested this for the minimal images for OrangePi Max as well as OrangePi 5 Plus. The images were flashed with…

Hello everyone, I'm trying to add a new custom driver (written in .c) to my Ubuntu system running on an Orange Pi 5 Max with Armbian. Could anyone please assist me with the process? I'd appreciate any guidance or step-by-step instructions. Thank you! P.S. I am new in Linux The driver

I was in the middle of assessing which new firmware to use on a set of OrangePi 5 Max, since the future of Joshua Riek's one is uncertain, and after installing the corresponding Armbian release I was welcomed with a notorious message warning me not to use it in production. I understand that it's community maintained, but is it really unsafe to use for production projects? Since Armbian seems to be the most popular distribution I wanted to double check before moving on to the next.

is there anyway to enable 1-wire, SPI3, and I2C3 interfaces? I have a hard time to deal with the overlay, but noting seems to be working.

Hi I have spent couple of days to enable the SPI3 (the only SPI that has been routed to the 40-pin header) on Rock3A, but no success. I am trying to enable SPI3M1C0 with following pins on my Rock 3A GPIO4_C2 (CLK), GPIO4_C3 (MOSI), GPIO4_C5 (MISO), and GPIO4_C6 (CS0). I am out of idea, try different overlays but still not able to enable them. I used this overlay from this repo https://github.com/radxa/overlays/blob/main/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/overlays/rk3568-spi3-m1-cs0-spidev.dts I expect to see “/dev/spidev3.0” but nothing appeared.

Hello, friends... The current MIPI DSI driver provided by Rockchip Inc. in older U-Boot versions (v2023 and earlier) is not compatible with U-Boot’s uclass subsystems.(a waste of time if you want to develop). I have done extensive research and made modifications to several files to make it work with the latest U-Boot versions. I have tested it with U-Boot 2023.10, 2024.10 and v2025.rc3 on orange pi 4 lts, and it works perfectly. I'm attaching the necessary files for those who need them. This u-boot driver is nearly identical to Rockchip's Linux kernel driver, uses same driver file but there some limitations because of u-boot system, bu…

I'm using a Rock 5 ITX and noticed after installing the latest rk35xx kernel image (6.1.84-vendor-rk35xx) that my system wasn't booting. So I connected to the debug console and observed a kernel oops being emitted. It dumps out a few pages of data, but the initial messages and call trace are: I have all the hex data if someone would use it but it doesn't seem worth including here. The boot flounders around in systemd for a bit but never gets to a login prompt - and I'm not that savvy with uboot to enter single user mode or otherwise dig in more. So I reinstalled from nothing, upgraded all my packages (including the vendor-rk35xx kernel), …

Hello Armbian Team, I am experiencing some difficulties with my Orange Pi 5 Ultra. Currently, there is no Armbian distribution available for this board. Although official Debian/Ubuntu images are provided on the Orange Pi website, none of them include the latest NPU driver (RKNPU 0.9.8). Since Orange Pi 5 Ultra has hardware similarities with Orange Pi 5 Max, I was wondering if it would be possible to release an Armbian version for this board as well. An official Armbian release would be highly beneficial for developers and users who require a stable and optimized OS for this hardware. Would it be possible to consider adding support for Oran…

Hi everyone! I got a Radxa E25 network computer with two 2.5GBit ethernet ports. The first one is coming up, the second one, however, does not. After comparing to the Debian Bullseye image by Radxa, I figured they don't bring the second port up either but for a different reason. Finally, I found a release on Radxa's Github that brings up both ports. I'll give you the output of that one and the Armbian and the Radxa E25 Bullseye images marked accordingly. The three images are: "b1 (rsdk)", "radxa-e25_bullseye_cli_b1.output.img.xz", works, source: https://github.com/radxa-build/radxa-e25/releases Radxa E25 B…

Using Image "Armbian_community_25.5.0-trunk.185_Orangepi5-max_bookworm_current_6.12.17_minimal.img.xz" on orange pi 5 max, the fan connected to the designated 1.25mm pwm fan connector won't do anything at all regardless of the cpu load. Just to verify the connector was fine I tested the same on the same board with the same fan, using orange pi's image "Orangepi5max_1.0.0_ubuntu_jammy_server_linux5.10.160" and the fan worked fine under cpu stress.

After kernel version 6.12.6, the overlay to enable SATA on the PCie is not included in the build anymore. So https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/pull/237/commits/5bdf4a4243e6c149290cdd2c8f5a7d1a1946670e is not effective anymore. The existing .dts can be compiled and works with kernel 6.12.10-current-rockchip64 and 6.13.0-edge-rockchip64, but then NVMe is not enabled. From Rock3A schematics and RK3568 datasheet I see that there is no reason that it could not work as the NVMe is on independent PCIe 3x2 lanes in the M.2 M-key connector. PCIe 2x1 lane meant for WiFi/SATA is on E-key connector. It looks like 'entity PCIe is mixed up' somehow.…

Rockchip has released bsp kernel 5.10 for rk356x and rk3588. Since multimedia support is not fully supported by mainline kernel, a legacy kernel would be good if you want h264/hevc hardware decode. To make kodi support hardware decoding, you need: 1, ffmpeg supporting rkmpp. I've packaged it in my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~liujianfeng1994/+archive/ubuntu/rockchip-multimedia, which is based on the patch from https://github.com/JeffyCN/FFmpeg/. 2, kodi built with gles render system, which is also in my ppa 3, a gpu driver supporting gles.

Official product page : https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=279 RK3328 Datasheet : https://rockchip.fr/RK3328 datasheet V1.2.pdf Neo3 Schematic : https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/images/a/ae/NanoPi-NEO3-2005-Schematic.pdf could anybody identify the chipname of the 2GB DDR 4 ram on the board?

Hello everyone, I am new to this so please forgive my eventual mistake. I have a Rock 4 SE with Armbian Linux 6.12.13-current-rockchip64 (bookworm) for Rockpi 4B (because there is not a special version for SE it re-commanded to use 4B). And I try to use the CSI port to connect a Camera Raspberry Pi V2.1. And I does not work, I have tried to add different value to the overlay in /boot/armbianEnv.txt like overlays=rockchip-csi csi or imx219 with a reboot each time, but it doesn't seem to work. Looking around, it seems like there is a lot of issue with csi camera and rock 4 with armbian (and sometime other os). But none seems to have…

First of all, apologies if this has been asked before, I did search the forums and couldn't find anything related... My NanoPi M4V2 has an NVME still running Debian Buster and I have been delaying upgrading/flashing as I expect this to be not that trivial... My understanding is that the recommended upgrade path is to reflash the SD-card and start over, which is fine with me. However, I do want to ensure it will then again boot from the NVME drive as it currently does! My question is if I can do that directly (flash SD, boot from it, and change boot to NVME) and I will have all the previous data on the NVME *OR* …

I've recently used armbian-install to enable booting from my nvme/ssd drive and all appears to be working fine. However, I'm curious to know, why, the device is mounted twice as shown below. The / mount point is in /etc/fstab but where/how does the device get mounted again on /var/log.hdd. mount|grep nvme /dev/nvme0n1p1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=120) /dev/nvme0n1p1 on /var/log.hdd type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=120)

On my Odroid M1 which used to run kernel 6.6.63 / armbian 24.11.3 noble from NVME, an update to kernel 6.12.9 arrived this morning. Afterwards the machine failed to detect an external USB disk.

Hello, I ran sudo apt update / suodo apt upgrade on my Rock 3C this morning. I did notice that the kernel was upgraded but rebooted. It transpires that the kernel was upgraded to a completely new version (6.12.9) from 6.6.63 (or 62 I believe).

Hello! First time poster. Been slowly learning linux over the years. Kind of a noob but maybe at an intermediate to advanced noob level. I've been having trouble upgrading firmwares. As title says, 24.11.3 breaks display. Luckily I was able to SSH in and determine 24.11.1 is functional. I'm not sure how to tackle this. I can tell you, I have many errors on startup which i have attached. I should note I do have issues interfacing with this display. While resolution is read by armbian correctly, the refresh rate is NOT. I use a capacitive touch display that can support 1200x600@60hz. Armbian attempts to use only 75hz which does not play nice. I have attempted to…

Hi all, is it possible to boot from an NVME without a sdcard ?

Last night we lost power to the whole house, I had to manually start the NAS and when I tried to access my data there was nothing but empty shares. After checking OpenMediaVault Web UI and checking around, the file system status shows as "missing" and there is nothing under RAID Management and all the disks show properly under Storage > Disks. The NAS is set up as a Raid 6 on ext4 with five 12 TB drives. For starters, I wonder why the internal battery did not graciously shut down Helios64 as to avoid this from happening given that power outages are a rather common issue. Then, how do I get my file system back? After browsing some for…

Hi! I have an rk3588 board that has a dma330 controller. I have this driver that essentially polls a dmac channel and it memory maps the data that is received into user space. Now, this driver was developed with the idea to receive data from a peripheral, however, before that I just want to test it by doing some memory to memory transactions. To that end I developed another kernel module that acts as a transmitter (code attached: aerietest.c). However, I am not able to link the transmitting end of the channel with the receiveing end. I added the following code in the device tree: aerie@0 { #dma-cells = <0x01>; compatible = "lyte-ai,l2"; d…

Just like other times i burned sdcard and inserted latest version of Armbian_24_11, changed armbianEnv.txt to 5b and installed to emmc using armbian-installer. At the end i updated bootloader and emmc disappeared. I tried most of images and last image that is not bricking is Armbian_24.5.3_Orangepi5_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img.xz (link). Unbrick: 1) Reinstall Orangepi OS using document in the link on emmc. After installation is compete emmc will be back. 2) Reinstall Armbian lower than 24_11. The one that i found in archive that worked is 24.5.3.

Looked at a lot of other forums posts and it seems to be a common problem for the Orange pi 5B, but all the solutions i've tried hasn't worked. Most of the problems they seemed to have is not updating the armbianEnv.txt to include the "b" for this specific model from the opi 5. Below is the error message I always get whenever trying to boot from the EMMC. Using 6.1 kernel sometimes I can't see the EMMC in /dev, after installing the orange pi Ubuntu image I can see it. After I run armbian-install I can't see it in /dev. I put the orange pi image back on the sd card and I can see the EMMC was installed, the boot/armbianEnv.txt also does have the "b". …

Happy new year everyone, So I really do not like the stub-resolver in Debian/Armbian , and I do not like forwarding any DNS request to any 3rd party in general. After some searching I found this: https://www.turek.dev/posts/disable-systemd-resolved-cleanly/ . Since we are on Armbian we need also remove the 00-armbian-default-dns.conf which points to cloudflare's 1.0.0.1 . 1. We probably do not need this, but just in case someone does not have it. sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/ 2. We set the DNS Stub Listener to no and remove the comment from the line if applicable: sudo sed -i '/DNSStubListener=/s/^#//;s/=.*/=no/' /etc/…

On my NanoPi-R6C I have been doing several U-boot updates (writes with dd to areas in 1st 32k) and so far so good. But behavior has changed w.r.t. eMMC v.s. SD-card. I want to do some U-boot build config changes, so the risk it that something might go wrong and I would need USB MASKROM mode to do writes to eMMC I think. The NanoPi-R6C wiki is not very clear with 'connect USB', but it turn out that this should be a connection via type-A to type-A and it does not work in the USB2 port. I have a USB2-only type-A to type-A cable and used that. The NanoPi-R6C appears in the USB device list ('lsusb') and also the tool is seeing the device: /tmp/up…

Hello, Recently I tried to make pwm control on my Nanopi M4. Beside the PWM pin on the 24 pin connector (the one which actually controls the voltage output on 12V 2 pin connector for fan), I wonder if it is possible to use GPIO pins on the 40 pin connector as pwm pins to control fans. I tried to set pwmchip0 and literally checked every pin by connecting the wire to each one of them but I couldn't find that any othe these GPIO react on any settings I made on pwmchip0 pwm0. Does anyone know how to do this? Best Regards.

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 there, I'm using the latest version of armbian to run the linuxptp for the ieee1588v2 clock. When I check the timestamp status, the 1Gbps port which is the RTL8122 is no problem, but the 2.5G ports RTL8125BG are only supporting the software timestamp. However, when I checked the Realtek website, it says that the 8125BG also supports the IEEE1588 clock. I tried to install the driver, but it did not work. As a beginner in Linux, I probably don't have the knowledge to compile drivers, in this case I sincerely hope that armbian could officially support the hw ptp timestamp in 8125 NIC. Thank you very much! nanopi-r6s:~:# ethtool -T end0 Ti…

Hello, I have installed the currently provided image "Armbian_24.11.1_Nanopct6_bookworm_current_6.12.0_minimal.img.xz" on my NanoPC-T6 (not LTS). Unfortuantely the only one USB3 port is not working. So no local access is possible and no external USB storage device can be used. I wonder if no one else has such problem reported yet since 3 weeks now (released 2024-11-21). The USB3 port is working with the FriendlyELEC image (rk3588-sd-debian-bookworm-core-6.1-arm64-20241112.img.gz), so maybe there is a small problem with a kernel module or the device tree. If someone can guide me to a starting point for investigation, I can do some debugging. I have little…

I upgraded from my own-compiled Armbian kernel 6.8.0-rc5 to 6.8.4 and there are now very annoying stall when for example I drag a KDE Konsole window. Also when I play a 1080p50 HEVC video, as son as a move the mouse, the whole video stalls. Besides 6.8.0-rc5, the normal apt provide 6.8.1-edge-rockchip-rk3588 also works OK. 6.8.5 has the same issue as 6.8.4. As indicated, I use KDE, X11, compositor disabled. Enabled makes no difference. OS base is Armbian Bookworm, but I have also used kernels 6.8.1 and 6.8.4 with a rootfs copied from an RaspberryPiOS and Opensuse-Tumbleweed.

Hello Armbian Rockchip community, I'm working on getting Armbian based on the 6.1 BSP kernel running on a custom RK3328 board (specifically the MKS SKIPR for a 3D printer). This board is very similar to the libre renegade rk3328-roc-cc - just a few minor GPIO pin changes are required. I want to use the 6.1 BSP kernel because I expect it to have mpp video encoding capabilities. There is an existing repo that has this board working on the 6.7 mainline kernel with a couple of gpio patches. I've made some progress but am running into issues and could use some guidance. So far, I've been able to: Compile and run the basic 6.7 kernel for the MKS SKIPR - fr…

TL;DR: How to make HDMI screen with custom resolution work? Including boot log/boot splash screen. How to configure auto use of/auto switch to newly connected display? Means moving tty/X Session to connected display like it works on e.g. Ubuntu desktop. Why HDMI screens with non standard resolution works well on kernel v5.x but stop working on v6.x ones? Where are HDMI related I2C interfaces in Armbian? Full version: In theory host system (SBC, laptop, PC) should detect new HDMI device connection, load EDID data from screen and use it to configure video output (resolution, timings etc). In practice it works well for Ubuntu deskto…

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

Hello All, Preface: First time posting, I am not an experienced software developer but have designed a working SBC around the RV1126.

Hello, I have installed the "Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.124_Tinkerboard-2_bookworm_current_6.6.63_minimal.img.xz" image on my tinkerboard-2 to develop a library for one wire devices. There is a problem with the usage of armbian-config on activating overlays. The entry in armbianEnv.txt includes the prefix in the overlay name. This can be workarounded manually, e.g. for w1-gpio the correct entry needs to be: overlays=rk3399-w1-gpio2 If anyone can point me to the source code I maybe can provide a PR to fix it. Another problem is the content of the overlay of this w1-gpio. After activating the dmesg give an error (the first w…

But it's Rockchip so I don't know what to expect. I'm used to Asus Tinker 2 Bullseye's 8 or 9 partitions. Plug it in. Doesn't boot. I'm able to see the root fs so I know it's there. What am I doing wrong?

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the maintainers for their contributions. This project has helped me a lot, and it runs smoothly on my device. It seems that the status of the nanopi-r5s has been in the staging phase for a long time. I am wondering if there is an opportunity for it to be promoted to the standard support phase. Additionally, I would greatly appreciate having a compiled version of Ubuntu Server. Is there anyone willing to help with this? Thank you very much.

Now the mainline u-boot has decent pcie and pcie phy driver for rk3399. The only deficiency is the clock of pcie phy not included.
