Can't seem to get bluetooth working with trixie and pipewire. I can pair & trust, just can't connect. Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-profile-unavailable Anyone else had this issue? Was working fine on a cubie running bullseye, so next maybe I'll try and older os and see...

From what I hear, that could a long time coming for trixie and the a5e.

I forget if WiFi is supported yet for this board in Armbian. I know that PCIe/NVME is not, as well as USB3. Not sure if 2nd Ethernet nic and WiFi is supported yet. From what I hear, it may be quite some time until a trixie build can be made to support the hardware on this board. Radxa's os is still on Bullseye (which is ridiculous, IMHO)

That fixed the image writing error, and it does boot. However, it also crashes with a kernel panic... radxa-cubie-a5e login: root Password: _ _ _ __ __ _ _ _ /_\ _ _ _ __ | |__(_)__ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ ___ / _|/ _(_)__(_)__ _| | / _ \| '_| ' \| '_ \ / _` | ' \___| || | ' \/ _ \ _| _| / _| / _` | | /_/ \_\_| |_|_|_|_.__/_\__,_|_||_| \_,_|_||_\___/_| |_| |_\__|_\__,_|_| v26.02 rolling for radxa cubie a5e running Armbian Linux 6.18.2-edge-sunxi64 Packages: Debian stable (trixie) Support: DIY (custom image) IPv4: (LAN) 192.168.1.29 (WAN) 75.159.194.201 IPv6: 2001:56a:7490:ce00:1010:b0ff:fe32:6e82 (WAN) 2001:56a:7490:ce00:50a4:a426:bd37:13c8 Performance: Load: 14% Uptime: 3 minutes Memory usage: 7% of 1.93G CPU temp: 39°C Usage of /: 3% of 58G Commands: Configuration : armbian-config Monitoring : htop root@radxa-cubie-a5e:~# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS mmcblk0 179:0 0 59.5G 0 disk ������mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 512M 0 part /boot ������mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 58.4G 0 part /var/log.hdd / zram0 254:0 0 989.2M 0 disk [SWAP] zram1 254:1 0 50M 0 disk /var/log zram2 254:2 0 0B 0 disk root@radxa-cubie-a5e:~# INFO: task rfkill:1190 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

This is way too much work. Basically I just came here to say that prebuilt images of trunk 100 work, 130 and 150 don't. So... Just a PSA to let people know that they likely won't be able to use those prebuilt images. It's probably moot anyway as I expect there aren't any changes that fix the main issues.

Found the method. A program called anylinuxfs will mount the EXT4 sd card on a Mac. However, even on the Trunk 100, I don't see armbianEnv.txt in /boot. Where do I find it?

I didn't know it was possible to edit a file within a boot image... I'm using MacOS, how would I do that?

Fair enough. "WRITE the image" would probably be clearer. The image file is from the repository, I'm using Balena to WRITE the image (rather than MAKE) to the SD card. I'm sure you knew what I meant, but I agree that clarity is important. BTW - Where would I find the changelogs for these trunks?

Huh? How can you create logs when you can't make an image?

Trunk 151 has the same problem.

Note that if you enable USB3, it disables PCIe. That's a hardware limitation of the a5e, I'm told...

But... every other image I've ever created with Balena has been fine? Dozens of armbian images including trunk 100... Trunk 130 image is working fine for you on the a5e?

PSA - trunk 130 is not a bootable image. trunk 100 works fine.

Ok, I only use this utility on Radxa products ATM, and AFAIK they can't boot from USB without a bootloader on the eMMC or SD card. If I had an image on a USB flash drive attached to the SBC, where would armbian-install expect to find it mounted? And then, would choice #1 or #3 use the SD card or the USB image? Also, should option #2 not show? I don't know how it would copy from the eMMC to the eMMC... The operation of the script works well, but the menu could be much clearer for the Radxa products.

That seems to work! Let me ask you this, though. Can you clarify what selection #2 means? Selection #1 will copy the eMMC image to the SD card. Selection #3 will copy the SD card to the eMMC (shouldn't the text read "Boot from eMMC - system on SD Card, SATA, USB or NVMe") What is selection #2 for?

Screenshot is in the original post, it still looks the same now.

Thank you. What do you suggest I do? I'm not sure that the "update bootloader" choices are showing the correct devices either.

If I understood a bit better what the script is doing, i.e. this part: Then maybe I could help with updating it to work with the Radxa products.

Correct. Many Radxa SBC’s work this way. RockPi-S, RockPi-S0, RockPi-E, E20c, e25c, e52c, rock-pi-zero, etc.

Oh! I guess I reported this same issue a while ago - never got an answer. Is there a github repo to report issues with this program?

Can someone explain these lines? # find real mmcblk device numbered 0, 1, 2 for eMMC, SD for ret in $(find /dev -name 'mmcblk[0-2]' -and -type b) do if [ -b ${ret}boot0 ];then emmc_dev=$ret else sd_dev=$ret fi done On the RockPi-S, $ret would equal mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 which are the eMMC and SD card, respectively. There's no device called "mmcblk0boot0" or "mmcblk1boot0".
