I think I found a regression:

 

It seems the USB 3.0 port is not working with kernel 5.10.160. It was working with kernel 5.10.110.

So I have two questions:

 

1. How do I file a bug-report ?

2. Linux 6.3 officially supports the rockchip-rk3588 (6.4 is out).  When can we expect a kernel update and which kernel version would that be?

 

Thank you

I'll add support for 6.5-rc1 soon

I can confirm usb3 doesn't work with .160 kernel. Will try to fix it

Here on forum. https://www.armbian.com/bugs/ ... logs helps, but as this was already known and confirmed, no need.

As you can see perhaps some boards will boot and serial console will be working. If you are satisfied with this kind of official support, we can save a lot of time  

 

Linux 6.3.y is EOL BTW

 

There are some experimental builds around that are usable to some degree, but without any official support.

Unknown / undetermined. Pay attention to our news:
https://www.armbian.com/newsflash/armbian-leaflet-9/ (and new ones)

https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/
 

Ohhh thats quick

 

Well I just read this here: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.3-Arm-SoC-Updates

Then checked /boot found 58 .dtb files for the rockchip rk3588/s.

Ran apt search for the Linux kernel and found I could install 6.2

 

Hence the question.

The newly added SoCs this time are all recent high-end embedded SoCs for various markets, each on comes with support for its reference board:

- Qualcomm SM8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) for mobile phones
- Qualcomm QDU1000/QRU1000 5G RAN platform
- Rockchips RK3588/RK3588s for tablets, chromebooks and SBCs
- TI J784S4 for industrial and automotive applications

 

I bookmarked the Armbian news links.

 

Thanks for your time guys, I'll be looking forward to a fix, yay!

Even almost nothing usable works, when first bits of CPU support is merged to the Linux kernel, such news is produced. It can take years before chip is actually usable and sometimes support never become usable. Here this is not the case as its a popular chip and support is being developed, just procedure to get into the kernel is rigid, takes time.

 

Term "officially supported" by Linux is IMO very overrated and not sure this term exists at all. Armbian mainline based images for 3588 are floating around forums, but ofc no official supported builds with modern kernel yet.

Here I thought that it was fully working with 6.3 , Oh well

Fixed with https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/pull/72

That was very quick and really awesome .

 

I don't know when the update becomes available, but I will be patiently waiting.

 

Thank you
