August 24, 20251 yr Hi, I have attempted to boot with edge and current branches with no success. I am now trying vendor since its what its running. My process is: ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepi5pro BRANCH=current kernel-config I enable tunneling GRE and some broadcom wifi drivers. ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepi5pro BRANCH=current kernel sudo dpkg -i output/debs/linux-image-*.deb sudo dpkg -i output/debs/linux-headers-*.deb sudo dpkg -i output/debs/linux-dtb-*.deb sudo reboot and after this the system does not boot or post through HDMI. I have to go back and erase /boot and restore a backup to be able to get it working again. What am I missing? P.S. I have /boot partition in SD card and the system partition is in an NVME drive.

I checked my /boot/dtb/rockchip/ directories in each for the Orange PI 5 Pro, and there is a device tree for it with the edge kernel (rk3588s-orangepi-5-pro.dtb), but not with the current kernel. Perhaps a question would be: Is that devicetree (.dtb file) being utilized with the edge kernel? Might be worth looking into. Edited August 26, 20251 yr by The Tall Man

Quite possible, actually expected as there is no support for current kernel: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/boards/orangepi5pro.csc#L8 and build target is not maintained by core Armbian team https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/#community-maintained
