@robertojHi, friend! How are you? How's your health? Do you have any news on the release of the Orange Pi Zero3 and ili9488 screen setup guide?

Does this mean that the latest version on which OMV7 can be installed is the following? https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/oldarchive/helios4/archive/Armbian_25.8.1_Helios4_bookworm_current_6.6.101_minimal.img.xz

thnx. it seems latest working vendor kernel for 3566 is 6.1.115. i already tried rk35xx, with bigtreetech_cb2.dtb but it stops at u-boot (in uart console) using orangepi-3b it boots, but gives errors in dmesg. when i try to add fdtfile bigtreetech_cb2.dtb, it stops boot .... 47274496 bytes read in 3902 ms (11.6 MiB/s) Failed to load '/boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3566-bigtreetech-cb2.dtb' libfdt fdt_check_header(): FDT_ERR_BADMAGIC No FDT memory address configured. Please configure the FDT address via "fdt addr <address>" command. Aborting! Trying kaslrseed command... Info: Unknown command can be safely ignored since kaslrseed does not apply to all boards. Unknown command 'kaslrseed' - try 'help' ..... but when i boot btt_cb2 as orangepi3b board, it boots and even shows mpp venc/dec/npu/whatever modules properly loaded. not checked yet if it works really maybe need to make some hybrid dtb from btt_cb2 and orange3b ========= btw, could You share what You do for 35xx board change? when i tried to change family rockchip64 to 35xx, it comiled, but not copied bigtreeetech_cb2.dtb to boot , and not boots ewven if i copy it by myself there

You can try switching the BOARDFAMILY to rk35xx and adding vendor branch to the list of build-able targets, but you will need a device tree that would work with the kernel. I did a quick try, and the device from the 6.6 folder doesn't "just work". Don't know if getting hardware acceleration to work on rk3566 would need even more tweaks.

features i looking for is a MPP/NPU - quite decent video encoders/processing/npu engine support, unfortunateli it still sticks to vendor 6.1.y kernel.

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/boards/bigtreetech-cb2.conf#L8 Nope. We don't support vendor kernel for other then 3588 and more recent. We don't maintain vendor kernel for this hardware (nor any other 3566 AFAIK), so it might be some work and its all on you. Mainline support is very mature, however I don't know about the status of specific features you are interested in. IMO its not worth going vendor route on this hw.

At this point, the most realistic path is to use hardware that is already officially supported. Bringing up new hardware or maintaining outdated vendor kernels requires significant engineering time and resources. Board enablement is not a small task. It involves ongoing maintenance, testing, integration work, and long-term support. This represents real cost for the project while public project funding is not even on the level to cover response of such ideas. If you are expecting someone will just emerge and spent months of his private time in exchange for: constant insults, hate and complete absence of financial coverage for the time spent (things are never in perfect state to satisfy over-spoiled customers of someone else) ... adjust expectations. We encourage users to choose hardware wisely - that already has active support and to contribute back to the project when possible. That is the only way we can avoid overextending limited resources, burnouts, collapse.

Hi all i tried to compile BTT CB2 with bookworm and vendor kernel to get MPP and NPU working, but got that : sha256sum: config/kernel/linux-rockchip64-vendor.config: No such file or directory is it missed ? How to compile vendor kernel for MPP support? thanks

Hello @Igor Yeah, I know that there is no simple way to achieve this. Hopefully someone will support this board or providing a newer kernel image, but as more time pass, as more difficult it become. Regards,

This Gdrive is empty now... Did we see any improvements for the Orange Pi 4A in the 26.2.1 release?

That's strange 🙂 ...we have the same kernel. Maybe something's broken in the system? But I haven't messed with Bluetooth in the system.

@Issou thanks for the feedback, I eventually got my hands on the Orange Pi zro I had in a remote location, I will make a fresh install and see how it behaves.

There aren't any Armbian builds for 5.15 is what I said. And it would be a lot of work to make that happen. Why do you want 5.15? How do you know that would work, when 6.12 doesn't?

You can just download rock-3a edge(6.18+) images (not vendor 6.1) and change the device tree entry (sdcard/boot/armbianenv.txt) to point to "rockchip/rk3566-radxa-cm3-io.dtb" . This seems to boot fine with majority of features working.

no , i ment , currently armbin version is 6.xx right ///// i want armbian 5.15 version to build to my stb

@Werner Sorry for disturbing. I found that my board is actually 3 gb variant. Removed the heat sink. It is actually 3gb variant. The problem was hardware. We can close this topic.

There are no Armbian builds that old, in fact Amlogic TV boxes weren't incorporated into Armbian until later Linux kernels. What you must have been using would most likely have been a fork of Armbian. What you are asking for isnt possible in the way you are asking. You essentially want Armbian ported to the 5.15 Linux kernels, which is a huge project. You would be better served but spending a month or so figuring out why current kernels don't work for you and fixing that.

Moved to proper forum

Hi all, I’m working with an Amlogic S805X (P241) board and I’d like to run Armbian on it, but I need a kernel 5.15 LTS build that boots reliably (especially from USB/SD). I see Armbian community builds with kernel 6.x for Amlogic TV boxes (e.g., Armbian_community_26.x), but these do not boot successfully on my P241. I previously successfully booted Armbian with kernel 5.9, but I want an image based on the 5.15 LTS kernel if possible. Is there an existing downloadable image for S805X/P241 with kernel 5.15? If not, can you share build parameters (BOARD=, BRANCH=, kernel target) to compile a minimal Armbian image with 5.15 that uses meson-gxl-s805x-p241.dtb? I also want to confirm the correct dtb file and boot configuration needed. Kernel 6.x gives me reserved-memory / CMA errors on S805X P241 and didnt boot Kernel 5.x booted , Is there any 5.15 LTS Armbian image, or how can I build one? Thanks!

The Rock-s0 has the same rk3308b processor and the build uses a BL31binary, with u-boot. The SV06Ace has the same cpu and BL31/u-boot. I reviewed this thread and was trying to follow the example commit provided. It is a little difficult to work through a commit as not all of the paths to the files are present in my depth=1 git clone. Is it possible to download the commit for the Rock-s0 and use it to patch the build directory? If I could run the patch, then I would have some actual files to copy and edit. The maintainer of the Rock-s0, linked on the Armbian Info page for the s0 has not made any recent commits. The last Rock-s0 commit was where it was moved back to an older bootloader scheme. # Rockchip RK3308 quad core 512MB SoC WiFi BOARD_NAME="SV06 Ace" BOARD_VENDOR="sovol" BOARDFAMILY="rockchip64" BOARD_MAINTAINER="shep" BOOTCONFIG="sv06ace-rk3308_defconfig" BOOT_FDT_FILE="rockchip/sv06ace.dtb" KERNEL_TARGET="current" KERNEL_TEST_TARGET="current" DEFAULT_CONSOLE="serial" SERIALCON="ttyS0" MODULES_BLACKLIST="rockchipdrm analogix_dp dw_mipi_dsi dw_hdmi gpu_sched lima hantro_vpu panfrost" HAS_VIDEO_OUTPUT="no" BOOTBRANCH_BOARD="tag:v2024.10" BOOTPATCHDIR="v2024.10" BOOT_SCENARIO="binman" DDR_BLOB="rk33/rk3308_ddr_589MHz_uart0_m0_v2.07.bin" BL31_BLOB="rk33/rk3308_bl31_v2.26.elf" FORCE_UBOOT_UPDATE="yes" OVERLAY_PREFIX="rk3308" function post_family_config__rocks0() { declare -g BOOTDIR="u-boot-${BOARD}" declare -g BOOTSCRIPT="boot-rockchip64-ttyS0.cmd:boot.cmd" family_tweaks_bsp() { #overrides rockchip64_common.inc #Install udev script that derives fixed, unique MAC addresses for net interfaces #that are assigned random ones bsp=$SRC/packages/bsp/rockpis rules=etc/udev/rules.d Specifically, where are following files, referenced in /build/boards/*.csc located?

What a nice picture! Would you be generous to post your NPU device info? I'm also looking for some w8a8 llm models working on NPU (the GEMM capability is perfect, isn't it).

I am not familiar with these images as I normally self build with the Armbian framework. A trade off of falling back to the old kernel, do you know the chipset of the WiFi dongle? I recall the old Realtek drivers being a complete pain Potentially as the USB iD pin is already exposed within the DTS, however the driver still currently ignores this. It is what requires the most work. The only thing I can think of that the dwc2 overlay initializes suxni-musb underneath along with setting some additional configurations. If you can find where it is actually stored on the image then we can see what pieces are missing then see if it is actually a driver issues or the DTS definitions have changed. Which version of Windows are you using? I can only guess that whatever windows components supporting g_mass_storage are legacy and being removed. Ryzer
