Radxa Zero 3W/3E

I’ve noticed two USB-C/USB3 issues with the Radxa Zero 3{E,W} when running Armbian (Edge & Current), which don’t occur on Radxa’s vendor builds (kernel 6.1). 1. Issues All branches (Vendor, Current, Edge) Depending on cable orientation, USB3 devices register inconsistently on either: Bus 001 → USB 2.0 (480M) Bus 002 → USB 3.0 (5000M) Reference: previous forum post Armbian dfb7c4f: Current (6.12) & Edge (6.16) My unpowered USB3 hub fails to work at all (it's fine on Radxa's builds & Vendor). On touch, the hub feels more elec…

Zero 3E, all images, same UUID/initramfs error on boot. Tried different flashing methods, sd cards. All the same fail. Board works with the old Joshua riek dist.

Hi, after find out that the usb-connector right so have I tried install on a usb3-sata-m2 disk, I have problem to install. I created partision on the usb-disk with ambian-install, and after that trying to select 8 (download and install clean image), but it can't find any image for my board. I have no eMMC on my 4GB ram radaxa zero 3Wso I run from SD-card.

I have tried to get the CSI port working on my Radxa Zero 3W with the GEEKOM X1301 HAT, and now I can get the chip to show up in /dev, however there seems to be an issue when I try to access it, as I keep getting ioctl errors. I started by copying over the .dtbo files from the regular radxa official image, and putting them into the overlay-user folder in /boot. Then I enabled the radxa-zero3-tc358743.dtbo overlay, which gets the devices to show up. I am following this guide from GEEKOM https://wiki.geekworm.com/X1300_Software, however, I keep getting ioctl errors when trying to set the EDID file on the Radxa Zero. On the Raspberry Pi, this was not an issu…

Hi everyone, I need to enable the csi camera and i2c port on my zero3 development board. When I click on the management overlay, an error occurs. Is there any solution?

Has anyone ever gotten the Radxa Zero 3w working in gadget mode? I bought a Zero 3w about a week ago and have been beating this horse most of the time. I can't get the device to connect via USB. A or C. When I try to connect (radxa.local) it will always go through wifi. If I have wlan0 disabled or even my internet off it just will NOT connect. It clearly is using wifi to connect even if I use the hostname. Maybe this is something simple but I and another engineer I work with have been scratching our heads about it. The obligatory AI search was an endless loop of everything we had already tried. Anybody have any advice?

Hi everyone, I was experience some strange things with two similar devices, the first I installed in february this year, mesa v.24.x and EGL 1.4 and it was working fine The other one I installed this week and it turns out that it uses mesa v.25.x and EGL 1.5, although performance was great with most 3D apps (like glmark2) I had poor performance under sway/kitty or the retroarch menu for instance (something like 15 fps). It took me a few days to find a solution so if you have similar issues please try installing mesa with the kisak repository as it fixed my problems sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa -y sudo apt update sudo apt upg…

Hello. How can I install armbian to internal MMC storage instead of SD card? Do you have guide somewhere?

I can't seem to get UART to work on Radxa Zero 3W System info https://paste.next.armbian.com/savaleceqe The usual enable UART options (that I see with other boards) do not show up under armbian-config->System->Kernel->Manage Device Tree Overlays. (In fact very little shows up there, all the usual SPI / i2c / w1 / usbhost etc are all missing). I did decompile /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3566-radxa-zero3.dtb to take a look at what in their, and UART1,2,3,4,5,6,7 along with other missing options armbian-config are their, but the references to other files look to be missing IF (and that's a big IF) I am understanding the dtb / dts correctly.

I get "DRM_IOCTL_PANFROST_CREATE_BO No space left on device", is 1GB RAM too little? Also the screen goes black when the app boots, is that a problem with X11/Wayland?

Using Jun 26's Sid_vendor_server-kali, my Zero 3W is stuck in a loop. I can't "Create a loop password" as it'll instantly jump to the "armbian-security login:" prompt. If I login with the default root:1234, I'll briefly see the welcome screen, followed by a very brief "waiting for the system to finish booting", then it's back to 1. This occurs regardless of internet access (provided by a USB-C ethernet adapter, for which Armbian reports a valid LAN IP address).

Hi, I'm trying to get h264 encoding working but VAINFO keeps searching for rockchip_drv_video.so which is nowhere to be found on my system. Is there a way to get h264 encoding working with armbian OR do I have to use radxa oses (or the ubuntu version provided by Joshua Riek) ? Thanks.

Hello, I read about raxda zero3E edge support, and because I'm having problems with img-6.12.9+bpo-arm64-16k (wireguard dependency) Do you think I could resonably try the edge version and then, I understand that I have to install armbian-bsp-cli-radxa-zero3-edge linux-u-boot-radxa-zero3-edge linux-headers-edge-rockchip64 Is there more to install ? or less ? And, does I have to remove old (vendor) kernel version before ?

I'm trying to set up a DS3231 hardware clock and the system can't find the hwclock command. I installed the util-linux command as other references suggested, but the command still isn't there. Thank you

I installed Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.1 Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) Gnome (Zero 3W) And out of the box after installation I get the message -bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable (I have to work through the com port, because because of this error ssh and the desktop cannot work) I checked the performance of the equipment by installing Debian 11 from Radxa, the equipment works correctly (CPU RAM eMMC). Has anyone encountered this problem?

Hello I encounter a problem when I run the TCPDUMP command Here is the error eth0: SIOCETHTOOL(ETHTOOL_GLINK) ioctl failed: Device or resource busy Work like a charm with Radxa Debian OS, but on two Armbian same problem. Someone knows why ? Thanks

hi After recent sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade via armbian debian bookwork XFCE chromium and firefox breaks its not updates for chromium or firefox as happens when i hold those packages from upgrading too also on fresh sdcard flash/install without full upgrade(just upgrading chromium and its dependencies via depository) chromium still works fine, its something else in the depository that breaks it

I have a nice video acceleration on chromium and Ubuntu noble, but not with a video player. Maybe someone can say one and how to install.

Good afternoon everyone. Please help me with my problem. I have a Radha board zero 3w and I use the Armbian distrib. 24.8.1 . Everything works fine, except that I can't activate SPI. In the Armbian-config menu there is no hardware section (I tried different flash cards and Armbian versions, the problem persists), I also tried to edit the armbianEnv.txt and add overlays there, but I also did not have success. Tell me what else I can try. Activation works on the native distribution radxa debian.

I just testet all available stable armbian images with radxa zero 3e. when i turn off the machine with shutdown -h 0 or poweroff the system shuts down successfully but the power of the dc dc is not turned off. the 3.3V is still available. i dont know if its only a configuration mistake or a bug. normaly after a kernel shutdown, the driver for rk817 should send i2c package to reset the 817. after that you need a power cycle to recover and restart. https://paste.armbian.com/inibopomew br manuel

Hello everyone, I’m using a Radxa Zero 3E with Armbian 24.8.1 Bookworm OS and trying to connect a device to Radxa via UART. However, I can’t seem to find the ttyAML0 interface. The only UART interfaces visible are ttyS1 and ttyFIQ0 , but neither works for my setup. I have connected the device to the UART_AO_A pins (pins 8 and 10). Additionally, when I go to armbian-config -> System -> Hardware, no hardware appears on the screen. Could this issue be related to the Armbian image I am using? I’ve already tried the b6 image, but it has a boot problem. I also noticed that the other official Radxa images are marked as pre-release. …

Hello, I'm using Armbian 24.5.3 Bookworm Minimal / IOT but there is no temperature in motd. When I inspect the normal datasources, it symlink to non-existent folder.
