Today I decided to update my kernel to 6.3.9 with the mainline ubuntu kernel/ppa https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/08/mainline-install-latest-kernel-ubuntu-linux-mint/ However this does not work if you have disk-encryption . After rebooting and being greeted by enter your password, it did not work claiming its missing the dm_mod module. This is the device-mapper module needed by cryptsetup to create a device in /dev/mapper/ After running unmkinitramfs on the 6.3.9 kernel /usr/lib/modules/6.3.9/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mod.ko was indeed missing. Is this normal for mainline ubuntu kernels ? and does anyone know how…

Hello! First off, thanks for the amazing product you all have created - huge props to everyone who contributes! I have been trying to get Armbian completely working on my Orange Pi 5b for a week now. Most notably: WiFi. Just a few moments ago I set up a new build of Armbian again, on an empty SD card. The one from https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/, Armbian 23.5 Jammy Gnome, as the more recent builds' armbian-config don't seem to have an option to enable overlays. After doing the default setup (user, locale, and it asks for "connect via wifi?" but shows no WiFi devices), I ran armbian-config. I go to System -> Hardware, b…

Not sure if this is board-specific, but filing here anyway.

Hi I found the following page https://www.armbian.com/rockpi4/ but I guess those files are for rock pi 4 and not rock pi 4 c? It has a link to 4 c plus images https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/dl/rockpi-4cplus/archive/ but they only contain bullseye? So are there any plans for rockpi 4 c plus to have a bookworm image? Are there any github pipelines that build them where I could send a pull request? (not that my c or c++ compilation skills are existing but I would be happy to give it a try).

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?

Because I reported an error when compiling Oranpi4b, I want to change the toolchain version, but I don’t know how to change it, so I come here to ask everyone, please help me solve it

Hi I have install the armbian system into my SSD device. But how can i manage to get it to start from that? The system dont seems to want to boot only from that SSD.

I have Rock-5b with 6.2.0 kernel uname -a Linux rock-5b 6.2.0-rc1-station-m3 #23.06 But it does not contain some modules for multimedia USB devices, such as si2157. How can I install the sources, import default config for Rock-5b and build & install custom kernel? It's OK to build it natively on Rock-5B

The best way, the simplierst way, the cheapest getting one can get it in which part of he world I'd like to get as most answers as possible Also in Russia!

I have serious issues with the serial number being exposed in /proc/cpuinfo. Especially when browsers have access to this information. Afaik, its u-boot who passed this information on to Linux. Any idea how to mask this from Linux? Your help is appreciated

I'm trying to get wifi working with the new wifi chip on the official image 23.5 but it seems to be missing the dtb for the Orange Pi 5b. Does anyone mind posting that file? I did follow the steps to extract that file from an official image but I can't trace the source anymore. Also any update on the availability of the 23.5 images in the apt? I just switched my release to nightly but it still shows 23.02 Thanks Erik

I've been playing around with the 3d hardware acceleration on jammy, so I can use KODI without stuttering. And that works fine although the KODI version is a bit outdated. So I installed it doing this, under root: add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia apt update apt dist-upgrade apt install mali-g610-firmware rockchip-multimedia-config but how do I revert: apt purge --yes mali-g610-firmware rockchip-multimedia-config apt autoremove --yes apt dist-upgrade --yes add-apt-repository --yes --remove ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa add-apt-repository --yes --r…

So, I tried to adapt @Kwiboo and @jernej patches on my 5.6 branch, but this made the kernel fail to boot for no visible reason. Since I were able to boot it without the VPU patches, I'm convinced that it's their readaptation that broke something. The patches applied are here : https://github.com/Miouyouyou/RockMyy64 If someone wants to play with them and determine which one break the boot process.

Hello all, I am running Armbian 23.05.1 rock5b jammy legacy on a rock5b. The current kernel version, as given by uname -r, is 5.10.160-rockchip-rk3588. I'm attempting to build a driver module but have been unsuccessful because I'm unable to locate the kernel headers. I have tried installing the headers with apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) but result in a package not found error. I also tried searching for the headers in my file system with find / -name "linux-headers-$(uname -r)" but the command returned no results. I suspect that the kernel headers may not be installed, may be installed in a non-standard location, or …

Hi, i've an Hdd of 1TB and i would like to use it as a storage for my orange pi 5. I would like to install armbian and boot directly from the Hdd the operating system. I need only to buy the adaptor for sata interface.

I've built everything into the kernel that I can think of: Device Drivers ---> [*] USB support --> [*] USB Type-C Support --> ** built everything other than alternative mode / display port drivers [*] PHY Subsystem ---> ... [*] Rockchip TYPEC PHY Driver Nothing seems to get it working (other than using the legacy kernel). If I plug in a USB type-c ethernet adapter, the light stays on solid but nothing shows up under lsusb.. I'm not sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated.

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)

It's quite some time ago that I used my rockpi however today I wanted to restart my project again (some sensors with an A/D Board connected to SPI). First of all I tested the Board on a Raspberry Pi (with Raspbian) there it is working as expected so it is not a hardware issue. I connected my board MOSI = GPIO2_B2 (Pin 29), MISO = GPIO2_B1 (Pin 31), CS = GPIO2_B4 (Pin 33), Clock = GPIO2_B3 (Pin 7). The matter is that it sometimes works and the correct data is received but just once in a while. For me it seems that the CS is not working properly but how to get SPI communication working correctly? In the attached screenshot the value 744 is the correct value, i …

I have a development board, model eaidk-310, with soc rk3228h (which is said to be the same as rk3328). The official website of the board has been closed, so I cannot obtain more related information.

Hello everyone, I would like to thank @lurk101 very much for his patience in helping me how to boot Armbian directly to NVMe in my ROCK5B. I could do that with the Official release 22.11 Jammy with Gnome from the website. The PSU I am using is a dumb 5V 3A which I used to power my Raspberry Pi 4. As I could boot the OS directly from NVMe, I asked if he would mind if I shared the information with you. He answered he doesn't, so here we go... However, I was not able to use Ethernet port neither my wifi m.2 adapter, so there is no network connection... If I have more information I…

I manged to get the USB OTG headers working on the NEO3 by modifying the NanoPi R2S DTB that it is currently using. 2 changes were needed: - Replaced all usb2 references to usb0 - Changed dr_mode for usb@ff580000 from otg to peripheral Modified DTB file attached if anyone else wants to give this a try or has a need for OTG on the NEO3 rk3328-nanopi-neo3-rev00.dtb

Hello, I installed Armbian Jammy on Mekotronics R58, but at startup the system does not use all the space available on my emmc (64go). How is it possible ? How to correct this? Command: df /dev/mmcblk0p1 306580 142884 163696 47% /boot /dev/mmcblk0p2 15016152 13122848 1714556 89% / Thank you

What gives with the Armbian website links? Links to all previous versions Armbian for the OrangePi R1 Plus LTS have been removed. The links to SHA hash and PGP signature do nothing. I was hoping to use an image that was based on Debian Bullseye, but that link has been recently removed. It is possible to create my image, but I would spend my time working on my code, not wading through the options to create an image.

Hi everyone, i am using NanoPi R6C which is + integrated with a Rockchip RK3588S + running Armbian_23.2.7_Nanopi-r6s_jammy_legacy_5.10.110 image I need to use 3 UARTs (UART1, UART4, UART5) on this board but don't know how to do, can anyone give me some guides please, i have tried armbian-config but in "Hardware" there is no NanoPi R6C option

Hello community, I am running Armbian taken from here on Radxa Rock 4c+. Everything I need seems to be in order (including wifi) but there appears to be no bluetooth device present (it is there using Radxa's images which have old kernels though). I tried to find out what could be the reason and noticed that dtb coming with Radxa has this: wireless-bluetooth { uart0-gpios { rockchip,pins = <0x02 0x13 0x00 0xd0>; phandle = <0xf1>; }; }; in pincntrl section and few other bluetooth/uart related bits while one coming with Armbian does not.

Could anyone point me in a good direction if I wanted to start learning how to get the Rock 5B HDMI driver running for the 6.x kernel? I'm looking for where it's located in the Linux file structure, but also documents and possible support files / repositories from Rockchip. /Kenneth

My rock-5b has no network connection at times after rebooting. I've included a armbainmonitor -U report to this post. I can't see anything that would hint at why this happens quite frustrating when you remotely log in need to restart and can't back in. If anyone is able to assits I'd appreciate it :) armbianmonitor.log

Brand new out of box, the wireless works fine on the orange android os. I then downloaded the orange os aarch64 image and installed. It was the latest. Wireless did not work, but after a couple lines of code/commands it did. I had to add a line to the orangepienv.txt file that was dealing with overlays. After that and a reboot it worked fine. BUT it is seriously boxed in. That is, because of lack of aarch64 support I could not download what I needed...so I tried debian which worked ok, but had issues with processing streaming video over 480p...anything higher I was having screen stutter and ripping plus their was artifacts everywhere. Finally I settled on Armbian,…

HI I just bought 2 neo3 and started with Armbian and the MAC address is the same.

Hello everyone, Do you think the emulation of ps2, gamecube, saturn etc video games works better on armbian or on android with a device on a rk3588 chip? thanks

My Helios64 NAS is suddenly randomly just, stopping. It appears to be totally random. It doesn't appear to be some form of actual shutdown as the front panel lights all stay on. I lose all access including the serial console. The only way to reboot is a long press on the power button to actually physically reboot the box. I've cranked the verbosity up to 7 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt in case something is output on the serial console but I've not seen any useful output yet but for obvious reasons it's hard to catch it happening. Because /var/log is cleared every boot I can't see if anything was logged just prior to the halt event. Not sure where to…

I get Kernel Panics when i do a reboot of the device with the reboot command. I don't get any Panics, when doing a normal boot of the System by powering it. The Panics don't occur on Manjaro. Updating the kernel to 6.1, did nothing for me and the Panic messages are always different and occur at different points of the Boot process. The System runs stable for days, when it boots. I don't have any clues what is going on hear, but i it seems that the device and sdcards aren't broken.

Hello people I would like to share my experience with the Mekotronics R58 mini PC (RK3588 box, in my case with 8Gb RAM and 32Gb EMMC). For a more review like post see NicoD's video review here on the Armbian forum: he just reviewed the new MonkaArmbian on this board. I got the Download links from NicoD, and in the meantime they are also on the official Mekotronics support site. I just want to share my experiences with others. So first I played a bit with Adroid 12, that came with the box. Android is the best supported OS for this box, performance wise. Video and emulated gaming seems to work great also 4K.

Hi, I've installed Armbian 23.02 Jammy Gnome (Release date: Feb 18, 2023). Mostly it works well, including the instructions on the download page to enable 3D acceleration. However, my video is output to a TV through HDMI, and there is no audio. There are four "Analog Output - Built In Audio" options in the sound settings, I have tried all four and none of them make any sound. I have also tried to change all five options in the configuration tab of PulseAudio volume control. All are labelled "Built-in Audio" and there are no options in any of them other than "Stereo Output", "Stereo Input", "Stereo Output + Stereo Input" and "Off". I don't know if this is related, but…

hi everyone How can I activate the SPI in the nanopi neo3 board?

Hi, I've installed Armbian Jammy on a Rock 3A. It seemed to run very stable, (much more so than the Rock 64) however the first IMPORTENT issue I've found is that the system appears to freeze when Chromium is launched as well as VSCodium. That is to say I loose mouse and keyboard control, so I can't tell what else may be effected. There may be others, still checking. Any help appreciated.

I bought a NanoPC-T4 development board designed by friendlyelec and installed the Armbian operating system. But the heat generated by the Rk3399 main control chip is too high.

However, under the same configuration under Armbian, the fan can’t work normally, so I What work needs to be done? Thanks.

Hello everyone. I have a defunct Helm Email server which carries a Rockchip rk3399 SoC. I have flashed with a custom Armbian image provided by the Helm folks. After flashing the box with the .img file, I am able to ssh into the new armbian box and go through the basic initial armbian setup. The box recognizes my 1TB nvme drive, so I then create a primary partition and format the nvme using fdisk and mkfs. I then install armbian-config and use it to install the root system to the nvme0n1p1 by using the following option on the menu: System -> Install -> 1 Boot from SD, and chose the nvme0n1p1 partition. After that I verify the BootE…

I have a jammy Armbian install on one of the (really) new IndieDroid Nova devices. I have changed /etc/gdm3/custom.conf, setting AllowRoot=true and /etc/pam.d/gdm-password, disable root quiet setting. Typical of what you do for Debian to enable explicit user/password input of the Gnome greeter. But with Armbian jammy, I still only get the default 'ttt' user forced on me, and the only value I can enter is the password for ttt. How to get the user list to appear so I can select ANY user and enter the password?

Device: Orange Pi 5B OS: Armbian 23.5.0-trunk.135 Bookworm Pipewire devices listed using pactl list sources only lists a single input device, which I think corresponds to the headphone jack input device. There should be 2 input devices, one for the onboard MIC and one for the headphone mic. When trying to test the onboard mic with arecord -l the audio is completely silent which indicates that the only device enumerated by arecord actually corresponds to the headphone MIC Unforunately, I don't recall if the original OrangePi OS had both mic options listed or not, but I can check if necessary.

I have the OPI on wifi and can see it on my network. i've tried using android adb to no use. is there a way to install armbian WITHOUT using a micro SD at all?

I downloaded "Armbian Lunar XFCE desktop" image from https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard-2/ and mounted it to the SD card. Then I booted the board but it couldn't boot. Only the red LED is on. The tinker os can boot and work well. The red LED is on and the green LED keeps blinking. How could I do to boot Armbian on this board?

Hi! I was happy running Armbian on my Rock5, but for the second time in a week I got this panic: The journal from that boot seems empty: Any suggestions on how to debug/improve this? Thanks!

Hi, I have a USB device that periodically hangs. Reboot or re-plug helps, but I need something lighter. I've seen several discussions on the problem of resurrecting hanging USB devices, but their solutions seems devices specific. Non on them worked in my case. I tried ioctl with USBDEVFS_RESET among other methods. uhubctl didn't work too (it seems it only sees EHCI hub, while my device is USB3.0 and connected to XHCI). Ideally the solution should depower a single USB connector to let the device fully reset and then get it connected back.

I have a Nebra hotspot with a Rockpi 4 plus v1.73 card. I can't find the Armbian image file to install Crankk mining. I only have 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4C+ img but no 4 plus. Help me! Is there a solution?

Hello! First of all I want to thank everyone in Armbian for making OS that works, I am testing Armbian Jammy 23.2.7 Cinamon Desktop and so far it is much better than ones from FE. My intentions are using R6C as Home Assistant server (that works), NAS, Kodi Multimedia player with audio passthrough. But important question this time is how correctly to transfer OS from 32Gb SD card to built in 32Gb eMMC memory? I was trying several times sudo nand-sata-install method, but every time while "Cleaning up ... Almost done." it finishes with error: Error while creating U-Boot loader image with mkimage grep: /mnt/nand-sata-install.YRXC4e/bootf…

Orangepi 5B 1. The armbian with sd card can not detect orangepi 5b emmc disk 2. with orangei5b official image and boot , write the armbian image to emmc , can not boot into UI desktop and drop into inicramfs shell.

Hello, I am trying to boot my 4C+ from SPI. I soldered the chip and after adding "overlays=spi-jedec-nor" and "param_spinor_spi_bus=1" in "/boot/armbianEnv.txt", "ls /dev/mtdblock0" returns a result. After running "nand-sata-install" the entry "Boot from SPI - system on SATA, USB or NVMe" is missing.

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.

Greetings to the happy owners of the rock 5b. Tell me if the rock 5b turns off the power to all its components when shutting down. I understand that the power from the external power supply is still being supplied. And what happens to the devices on the board: ssd, fan, wifi etc.

I have tried the Debian image for ROCK5B and the Gnome GUI works fine there. But when booting the Armbian image (running from emmc) the screen does not notice any signal from the ROCK5B regardless of which HDMI port I try. I am using a quite old HDMI monitor (connected though a DVI-HDMI adapter). How do I debug this?

Hi all, is it possible to boot a Nanopi M4 V2 from a NVME M2 ?

Hello guys, you know that armbian has a problem that sometimes when the system boots, the ethernet interfaces fail. The led turns on indicating that it detected the interface but it is totally blocked. It does not work, no method of restarting the interface. The only solution is to restart the computer...

Hi guys, I need to be able to see the pins on my board. In the official distribution of Orange Pi, I was able to install the Xunlong WiringOP script. I know I can use /sys/class/gpio/ to define the pins and use them, but that's not what I want. I would like to be able to use something like the "gpio readall" command.

Hi guys, when I installed Armbian on my system, it gave me a different MAC address than the one physically assigned to my hardware. How can I restore the original MAC address of the hardware without having to manually set it?

Hello, I don't know if I'm posting in the right section, if I'm wrong, please excuse me and move the topic to the correct section or tell me which section to write in. I will soon be the proud owner of a NanoPi R6S and would be happy if I could help create a working image for it. I don't have positive experience with compiling a kernel for SoC, but I can test images Regards,

I see that there is a lot of work ongoing on improving the UEFI boot support for Rock 5B and this is quite exciting. In my view this seem to be the ideal route for future SBC boards. However, I am yet to try it so I am still a novice in the area. How do you guys look at the future of UEFI vs U-boot for Linux on SBC’c in general and on the Rock 5B in particular? Will the UEFI version be as capable as a u-boot version or do you see limitations?

I am using a Linux rockpi-4cplus with 5.15.93-rockchip64 (bullseye). I plan to use SPI1 (GPIO1_A7, GPIO1_B0, GPIO1_B1, GPIO1_B2), and then add in a 2nd device on this SPI bus via a custom CS GPIO pin (GPIO4_D5). I could not find the corresponding script file (.DTS) online (on Github) associated with the object file (rockchip-spi-spidev.dtbo). Please could someone point me to it - I can only find files for "sunxi-DT-overlays". So I decided to create my own DTS file, as follows: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target = <&spi1>; __overlay__ { #address-cells = <1>; …

Hey, Has anyone managed to capture image from this camera? `media-ctl -p` shows this device, that mentions the camera name: - entity 63: m00_b_imx415 3-001a (1 pad, 1 link) type V4L2 subdev subtype Sensor flags 0 device node name /dev/v4l-subdev2 pad0: Source [fmt:SGBRG10_1X10/3864x2192@10000/300000 field:none crop.bounds:(12,16)/3840x2160] -> "rockchip-csi2-dphy0":0 [ENABLED] But that's it. No luck with libcamera nor v4l2-ctl. The `rock-5ab-camera-imx415` layer enabled.

I'm owner of a rock 5b with an nvme drive installed. I'm already running Armbian_23.02.2_Rock-5b_bullseye_legacy_5.10.110 from the nvme. I want try the edge images but I cannot boot them from the SD. I have tried with Armbian_23.05.0-trunk-e33842ef2_Rock-5b_lunar_edge_6.2.9 and Armbian_23.05.0-trunk-e33842ef2_Rock-5b_lunar_legacy_5.10.110 Am I missing something?

Hi, An old problem, since I got the board which is 4C. Not a + - or whatever but the plain C. Symptoms: 1. HDMI worked randomly, maybe every 10th...15th boot lead to a working system, or rather to a visible HDMI-connection. But now switching on-off does not help at all. 2. Quite often one can get the board booting to the point where it asks for the password, and after clicking ok, it switches the screen off, and won't return. So the telly says that "no signal". 3. When switching on the board the tv set sees that there's someone on the hdmi port, and shows the booting sequence, and finally goes to Armbian's graphical mode asking for t…

My Sata SSD drive works very slowly on Orange PI 4, using usb 3.0 port. On PC based on Windows 11 via usb 3.0 it works correctly. I found problem on Armbian 23.02(trunk, 30.12.2022, edited parameters: installed software, bluetooth parameters) when I try move system onto SSD, first time it works normaly, but not so fast, as expected and automatically starts in read only mode. Read only mode I have fixed. Sometimes it breakes ext4 partition, that I've fixed using fsck, and fix again when ext4 breakes again and not working/works badly. After some time it begun freezing. I tried to find solution by myself, but not found good advices. I've tried some mounting parameters, …

So I did the upgrade to OMV6 (and associated kernel update Linux 5.15.93-rockchip64). Now in the mornings or after long periods of no interaction, the Helios enters an unresponsive state where none of the docker containers respond and I can no longer ssh in. There is still some sporadic noise comming from hard drives doing things and lights on the front are showing it's not completely frozen. I suspect it's attempting to enter some kind of suspend / hibernate state that is not appropriate for this system. Which would be the appropriate log file to go hunting for answers for sleep/hibernate issues on Armbian? And what w…

Hi, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I had a functional Armbian distro on the Rock5B working from the SDCard, and after installing it on the NVMe (which does not boot), I restarted the board from the SDCard (after having removed the NVMe), and I lost my network connections. How could I get the network back on?

Hi, i just received my Rock 4 Se and a 32GB eMMC module today, and i'm currently not sure if the Image is incompatible, or if my storage modules are broken. I tried emmc standalone and SD for boot with nvme (from an dell notebook) for rootfs When i use the emmc, the filesystem goes into read only as soon as i do some apt upgrade. On reboot i often end up in initramfs nd have to fsck. I could gether some dmesg output: After this trace i get a lot of I/O Errors: Im not sure if this is an os or an emmc module issue. Any guess whats going wrong here? after that i coppied the current…

Howdy Is anyone having issues with speed negotiation? My rock 5b running an unsupported kernel is selecting 10mb instead of the 2.5gbe the zyxel switch is capable of. Thanks

Dear Forum, I am using a Helios64 with armbian Debian 10 (Buster) Linux-Kernel 5.15.52 and OMV 5.6.26-1. If I want to have further Updates from OMV I need to upgrade to Debian 11, because OMV6 isn't compatible to Buster. Any recomendations how I should upgrade? The H64-System is on a SDD. Should I try a cli system upgrade or installing everything new with a bullseye image, if this is available (Where?)? Best wishes, Greg

I finally have openZFS loading as a module with modprobe (still need to test that it's actually working correctly, but so far so good...) I'm using the Armbian Lunar CI rolling release since there is a working Linux-Header for this kernel https://imola.armbian.com/beta/pool/main/l/linux-headers-midstream-rockchip-rk3588/ After that, I essentially followed the instructions for building openZFS, but some minor changes to the META file for license and max kernel version. I want to say thank you to all the Armbian team members for making such an amazing platform for SBCs. All my boards run Armbian. here was the config command …

Hello everybody, I'm new with the SBC and with Armbian and I hope you can help me. I'm working with a Tinkerboard 2 R2.0, where i would like to be able to cut the USB ports supply. I have noticed on the Tinkerbords R2.0 schematics the USB_OUT_EN_5 line. I'm wondering if this line is conneted to a CPU pin and, if it is possible to drive it? Does anybody know a way to cut the USB ports power supply? Thank you

Hello, did somebody already have success connecting a Raspberry Pi 7 inch display to the current Armbian build? I already tried to add this overlay via armbian-add-overlay, but this did not work. What am I missing? Thank you for your help!

I have recently bought a rockpi5 and i was looking all over the internet for a POE hat module to power it up . However i was unsuccessful so far. I have tried the poe hat i had for my rockpi 4 B but it doesn't physically fit so my question is will a POE hat for the rockpi 5 be anytime soon released ?

I installed panfrost but glxinfo still lists the device as llvmpipe. I'm using Armbian_23.02.2_Rockpi-4cplus_jammy_current_5.15.93_gnome_desktop running wayland. This is how I built panfrost meson . build/ -Dvulkan-drivers= -Dgallium-drivers=panfrost -Dllvm=disabled ninja -C build/ ninja -C build/ install i have no idea what to do next because there is no errors that I can find and I was under the impression that with a kernel 5.1> it is supposed to work. Any help is appreciated

I have a Rock64, purchased in 2019, that has been running happily for 4 years. I was recently experimenting with hooking it up to a relay board and now I am unable to connect to the internet. I am unsure whether something is fried on the board itself or if this is a software problem I can fix, and unsure how to figure that out. Details I have learned more about relay boards now, so I'll do a few things differently and more carefully next attempt, but I had the 5v pin powering the relay board and the 3v pin, GPIO3_A4, and GPIO3_A5 connected to the control side to control two of the board's relays. When connected the Rock's power leds were still on, but eit…

Hello, nanopc t4 folks, Some, not so long time ago, I worked on fusb302.ko driver and device tree improvements in order to make USB Type-C port working properly in the mainline 5.* kernel. I managed to get DisplayPort over type-C + some general type-c handling improved before my board simply died. Unfortunately, I was not able to finish all the planned work and cannot continue further However, I guess, working DP is already fairly good achievement that might be interesting for many of us. Hereby, I want to publish some patches to the mainline!!! driver and device tree that add missing functionality, so one can get DP+type-C working on NanoPC T4 (and all RK339…

Hi, I have tried booting multiple different images from Armbian, But when I bootup I get the message below. I have tried 8 different charger, 5V 3A, PD 3.0, 35W charger, 10W charger...

I was wondering if the Armbian 11 Bullseye release would get a release candidate for the following ppa's for Panfrost: ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia Because I was really hoping to use Debian over Ubuntu for my purposes of familiarizing myself with the distro, but only Jammy so far has a candidate for these. I also tried manually installing the Panfrost/Panfork drivers on Bullseye and only got it working once before borking my entire system, and I cannot replicate it. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated, as the GPU acceleration on Jammy is simply amazing!

Having some issues here. I wrote the newest Ubuntu CLI to my SD card. I booted into the device and used Armbian-Install to move the root to the NVME. I fixed the UUID on the fstab file.
