Dear community,
dear @Igor (as maintainer of NEO3 CSC),
thanks a lot for the NEO3 support. This board ran rock solid for me approx. two years straight – much more stable than my other SBCs running Armbian (due to various reasons, no offense :)).
However, the board failed to boot with "ERROR: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device Tree". It appears that ``rk3328-nanopi-neo3-rev02.dtb`` went missing. This must have happened when upgrading the package ``linux-dtb-current-rockchip64`` from 21.08.2 to 22.02.1.
As a workaround, it helps to (download the CSC image for the board again, get the file out of the image,) place the file in ``/boot`` and set ``fdtfile=../rk3328-nanopi-neo3-rev02.dtb`` in ``/boot/armbianEnv.txt``
I think it's a pity that support for this board broke, which works so well with Armbian. Any chance we can get the dtb back into the package?
Cheers,
Lukas

Meanwhile, I got a used device and I'll see how I setup the infrastructure for continuously maintaining the device.

@Igor
Can I donate either hardware, money or both to resume official Armbian support for NanoPi Neo3? I use several of these little machines for a variety of purposes. Thanks!

Lamerjack reacted to djjerdog in NEO3 OTG headers working with modified DTBI 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
