Hi,

I attempted to build armbian for orange pi 5 with these steps (I'm on macos):

 

multipass delete armbian-build
multipass purge
multipass launch -n armbian-build --disk 50G --mem 8G --cpus 4
multipass shell armbian-build
sudo apt install curl build-essential bc bison flex libssl-dev chrpath cmake cpio wget xz-utils
curl -LO https://github.com/armbian/build/archive/refs/tags/v25.5.0-trunk.67.tar.gz
curl -LO https://github.com/armbian/build/archive/refs/tags/v25.5.0-trunk.32.tar.gz
tar -xzvf v25.5.0-trunk.67.tar.gz
cd build-25.5.0-trunk.67
./compile.sh (select edge version for orange pi 5 in the cli)
CTRL+D
multipass transfer armbian-build:/home/ubuntu/build-25.5.0-trunk.67/output/images/Armbian-unofficial_25.02.0-trunk_Orangepi5_noble_edge_6.13.3_cinnamon_desktop.img .

And for a reason I can't grasp, when I boot the orange pi 5 with the freshly flashed armbian.img on the SD card, the usb ports arent powering at all, so i can't use a keyboard, bluetooth or wifi dongles. But I can see armbian being displayed on the screen and asking for a new password

On the nvme ssd, I have Ubuntu running and no issue with the usb ports. I wanted to try the native support for vulkan and 3588s in 6.13.

Any idea?

PS: I tried both v25.5.0-trunk.67 and v25.5.0-trunk.32, but the same issue arises

Have you tried pre-built images? https://github.com/armbian/os/releases/tag/25.5.0-trunk.90

Edit: Ah, no edge images available.

 

Could you please test this one? https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/.testing/Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Orangepi5_bookworm_edge_6.13.4_minimal.img.xz

Thanks I'm gonna try Monday and I'll tell you

Hi, thanks for the help but unfortunately nothing changed. Normally when my bluetooth dongle is working it turns green, but nothing when I boot on this image of armbian. I tried every port with my wired keyboard (a Magic Keyboard with usb wire, it worked on a previous version of armbian, and it works with ubuntu).

I don't know how to get it to work

Hm this is odd.

 

Is there a specific reason to use mainline? If not you can try a vendor kernel based image.

 

Overall I cannot reproduce. I have an Orangepi5 here and usb works well with both vendor an edge. Latter I tested earlier today with kernel 6.14.0-rc2

 

Also check that your board does not suffer from undervoltage. Ideally use a PSU that outputs slightly over 5 volts in order to compensate for losses across wiring, connectors and pcb traces.

I'm using a MacBook Air power adapter and it works great with Ubuntu. I want to try an edge version because I'd like to try the Vulkan support for rk3588 in the kernel 

At this time I bet it will work better with vendor kernel since it is close to feature-complete while mainline is still under heavy development. But well, worth a try I guess.
