I am building custom img for OrangePi 3b v2.1. Now the board config file located here use BOOT_FDT_FILE="rockchip/rk3566-orangepi-3b.dtb" I should change it to BOOT_FDT_FILE="rockchip/rk3566-orangepi-3b-v2.dtb" Now I have the dtb file where should I place it if img to be build for 5.xx legacy kernel? Are there any other things I should take care beforehand. I must say v2.1 do use a different WIFI/BT chip, broadcom AP6256 ...any additions to config files I can do beforehand?

OK I have some progress in debugging. Firmware files are present in right location `https://github.com/armbian/firmware/tree/master/brcm` However I have no loadable module like `brcmfmac` ... Now I want to get github link to make this module

I am learning kernel dtb stuff & I have made a custom image which performs good as far as NPU VPU are concerned. However, I am missing something because WIFI is not detected. Following are some required outputs. My Pi is v2.1 & its WIFI/BT is broadcom chipset Additionally, i tried install armbian-full-firmware as well OS: Armbian (24.8.0-trunk) aarch64 Host: Rockchip RK3566 OPi 3B Kernel: 5.10.160-rockchip-rk356x Uptime: 13 mins Packages: 1327 (dpkg) Shell: bash 5.1.16 Terminal: /dev/pts/0 CPU: (4) @ 1.800GHz Memory: 493MiB / 3922MiB $ sudo lshw -C network *-network description: Ethernet interface physical id: f logical name: eth0 serial: 00:00:a4:82:ff:d7 size: 100Mbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s capabilities: ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=st_gmac driverversion=Jan_2016 duplex=full ip=192.168.1.8 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=100Mbit/s $ sudo lsmod Module Size Used by sch_fq_codel 20480 2 zstd 16384 4 binfmt_misc 20480 1 sprdwl_ng 311296 0 sprdbt_tty 28672 0 fuse 110592 1 ip_tables 28672 0 ipv6 434176 44 panfrost 57344 5 gpu_sched 28672 1 panfrost rtc_rk808 16384 1 $ dmesg | grep -i wifi [ 16.715482] WCN: start_marlin [MARLIN_WIFI] [ 16.715496] WCN: marlin power state:0, subsys: [MARLIN_WIFI] power 1 [ 25.750599] sprdwl:[WIFI_CMD_SYNC_VERSION]timeout [ 25.750634] sprdwl:ctx_id:0 cmd: WIFI_CMD_SYNC_VERSION[9] rsp timeout (mstime = 15648), num=1 [ 38.650942] unisoc_wifi: probe of unisoc_wifi failed with error -1 armbianmonitor -u https://paste.armbian.com/owokujocuj

@shenghuan lin same here WIFI works, BT no! AP6256 is the same module used in OrangePi 3b v2.1

@NicoD I was of the view that armbian-gnome is tweaked to use less resources. What your experience says?

@ozacas I am still facing the same issue hastebin - ajuxuqigur (armbian.com)

@NicoD How one can install armbian-gnome-desktop on an armbian-server image?

@SteeMan thanks @Giordano Sologuren thanks for instructing this chemical engineer. I tested the image & yes it works. Panfrost is there by default. However, Bluetooth doesn't work (which is a primary requirement). As an enginner I have to connect & manipulate multiple field instruments that is why BT is necessary I am happy though 3.5mm audio out works (HDMI audio out doesn't but its not my focus) After apt update / upgrade / reboot I am attaching mu UART serial log in hopes someone can provide feedback on the BT issue. I am ready to do debugging from my side. Errors at the end pop up when I am trying to enable BT via radio button of gnome interface orangepi3b login: [ 342.243982] sdiohal err:wait scan card time out [ 345.319840] WCN_ERR: wait SDIO rescan card time out [ 345.320320] WCN_ERR: chip power on fail [ 345.320686] sdiohal err:sdiohal_runtime_put line 1756 not have card Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.495_Orangepi3b_noble_edge_6.10.2_gnome_putty.log

@Giordano Sologuren Thank God I found someone with similar v2.1 device. I searched the source code while building Armbian myself on WIN10 WSL2 & I cannot find any reference file specific to v2 for instance Using find . | grep commands I see there is no orangepi3v-v2.dtb file Secondly I cannot find option to make 5.1.x vendor kernel

@Igor I downloaded the official community release of Armbian. Etched the image on sdcard TWICE: using armbian recommended USBIMAGER & the my standard Raspberry I imager ...in both cases kernel panic happened Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.495_Orangepi3b_noble_vendor_6.1.75_gnome_desktop_putty.log

@drock @T_BangIT problems youvare having with legacy kernel are solved here: https://github.com/defencedog/orangepi3b_v2.1/tree/main/Orangepi-3B

@drock please sir can you share your images with gpu enabled, I am on OrangePi 3b v2.1 as well having same issues orangepi@orangepi3b:~$ sudo dmesg | grep -i mali [sudo] password for orangepi: [ 9.312425] mali fde60000.gpu: Kernel DDK version g18p0-01eac0 [ 9.312464] mali fde60000.gpu: IRQ JOB not found [ 9.312552] mali fde60000.gpu: IRQ MMU not found [ 9.312607] mali fde60000.gpu: IRQ GPU not found [ 9.312658] mali fde60000.gpu: Insufficient register space, will override to the required size [ 9.312699] mali fde60000.gpu: Register window unavailable [ 9.312716] mali fde60000.gpu: Failed to map registers [ 9.312733] mali fde60000.gpu: Register map failed error = -5 [ 9.312749] mali fde60000.gpu: Device initialization failed [ 9.313151] mali: probe of fde60000.gpu failed with error -5 [ 9.346431] I : [File] : drivers/gpu/arm/mali400/mali/linux/mali_kernel_linux.c; [Line] : 406; [Func] : mali_module_init(); svn_rev_string_from_arm of this mali_ko is '', rk_ko_ver is '5', built at '18:53:42', on 'Aug 2 2024'.

@OttawaHacker can you please share your image

Has anyone able to install WPS Office on debian / ubuntu images? It's compatibilty with Microsoft Office is extremely high & is also available on Android. OrangePi has provided deb packages for ARM, anyone tried it? In there above GDrive link go to WPS folder
