i apology but for some misteryous issue i lost completly the network, using nmtui i added only the IP gateway on my wired connection and after that i lost completly the network, i also mounted the SD on a ubuntu but all seems fine. but no network. after that i reimaged a new SD card with last armbian/noble release , and wifi connection works. i need to reinstall all OctoPrint sw. without IP gateway i cannot install armbianmonitor. i think we can close this thread if i cannot resume at least the wired connection. the next steps could be to disable Network Manager , can any one has a guide to perform this task using the SD mounted on a another machine ? bye

@Vincenzoernst1 I have no interest in fixing this I'm not going to keep polishing software since I already know how to get around the problem If you want, you can make a pull request creating an exclusive dts/dtb for the h96 max within uboot 2024/7 including the maskroom button I can help direct your efforts here

@M782 It depends on what you mean by official. Armbian does not support TV Boxes. There are a handful of people out there that tries to provide some support using the armbian infrastructure as a Community Maintained image. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box If you want to stick with what you have installed then do a web search on 'ophub'

The USB board is USB 3.0 thus should be 0.9A max and 5V. Your SSD is 1.5*3.3 ie 4.95W, vs USB 3.0 max 4.5W. Though I believe the SSD might not always consumes the maximum. Could be later kernel use the SSD to it's maximum thus makes this SSD consumes too much. It is not given there is a bug in newer kernel. Also it could be this extra consumption only destabilize the board at boot because the board has other components also draining more current at boot. There might be tests that can help sort this out. I think there might be ways to lower the current consumption of the M.2 SSD (maybe by lowering the libata link speed via a kernel boot param). We could also try to find another USB 3 device which also stretch the limit. And check if the behavior under 5.10 and 6.6 is reproducible. Can you give a link to the SSD you put on the USB M.2 board? If it is not too expensive I could try to reproduce the setup. I have a USB multimeter and could check if the USB 3 limit is really overflowed (and if the current drawn is different for 5.1 and 6.6). But I won't be able to tell soon. COM error is likely your serial console program. Might be related to the helios64 board crashing on the other side. Mond that hardware hang just freeze the board, no messages are outputted. In the case I encountered it means too low voltage for load. When you tell you plugged the SSD in the back USB, do you mean you plugged it after boot or before boot when it failed?

It is the case that I only copy the content of the "rtl_nic" folder from the archive to the folder "/lib/firmware/rtl_nic" to the archive correctly? Unfortunately, that doesn't fix my problem either. I still have the message with the status -2 and the device is no longer available at times. However, I noticed something. I bought a series on AkibapassTV and I put these files on the Helios64. I play this with the VLC player from my PC. If I spoil too quickly, I see in the terminal, where I also let "Ping" run that the answer "Destination Host Unreachable" is output in places, at least until the network adapter has been restarted and it is active again. However, I can no longer find the DMA reports in the list, so it seems to have resolved it. Still, I get something like that: # dmesg | grep r8152 [ 21.167322] usbcore: registered new device driver r8152-cfgselector [ 21.380437] r8152-cfgselector 2-1.4: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd [ 21.476788] r8152 2-1.4:1.0: load rtl8156a-2 v2 04/27/23 successfully [ 21.531806] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 eth0: v1.12.13 [ 21.532016] usbcore: registered new interface driver r8152 [ 21.605123] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: renamed from eth0 [ 25.324976] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Stop submitting intr, status -108 [ 25.751987] r8152-cfgselector 2-1.4: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd [ 25.837596] r8152 2-1.4:1.0: load rtl8156a-2 v2 04/27/23 successfully [ 25.906230] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 eth0: v1.12.13 [ 26.114614] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: renamed from eth0 [ 28.391924] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: carrier on [24871.270580] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: carrier on [42214.756880] NETDEV WATCHDOG: enx646266d00567 (r8152): transmit queue 0 timed out 7312 ms [42214.756940] Modules linked in: lz4hc lz4 zram binfmt_misc leds_pwm hantro_vpu rockchip_vdec(C) v4l2_vp9 pwm_fan rockchip_rga videobuf2_dma_contig snd_soc_hdmi_codec v4l2_h264 videobuf2_dma_sg v4l2_mem2mem snd_soc_rockchip_i2s videobuf2_memops videobuf2_v4l2 snd_soc_core rk_crypto panfrost snd_compress gpu_sched snd_pcm_dmaengine rng_core drm_shmem_helper snd_pcm snd_timer videodev snd videobuf2_common mc soundcore cpufreq_dt gpio_beeper sg cfg80211 rfkill ledtrig_netdev lm75 dm_mod nfnetlink ip_tables x_tables autofs4 raid10 raid1 raid0 multipath linear cdc_ncm cdc_ether usbnet raid456 async_raid6_recov async_memcpy async_pq async_xor async_tx md_mod r8152 realtek dwmac_rk fusb302 gpio_charger stmmac_platform tcpm typec stmmac pcs_xpcs adc_keys [42214.757477] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx timeout [42214.761162] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx status -2 [42214.761240] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx status -2 [42214.761392] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx status -2 [42214.761533] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx status -2 [42216.867928] r8152-cfgselector 2-1.4: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd [75856.736623] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx timeout [75856.741073] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx status -2 [75856.741130] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx status -2 [75856.741241] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx status -2 [75856.741387] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00567: Tx status -2 [75858.851803] r8152-cfgselector 2-1.4: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd Do you have a few more ideas? Or is this 1 folder "rtl_nic" from the archive not enough?
