Thanks for the tip regarding armbian logs. I have a hunch that the hub is not the problem as it worked before reimagine and works on windows. here’s armbian logs: https://paste.armbian.com/hinutehewa

@Робертс Hi friend, I tried your instructions, but I'm probably doing something wrong. My situation is similar to yours. Could you please tell me step by step what you did to get the screen working? I tried following this article, but it looks like you're using a custom Linux installation. I watched Pancake's instructions; he's building his own Armbian. I'd really appreciate it if you could give me a step-by-step explanation of how you set up these devices. I'm using the base Armbian from orangepi version 6.1.31 I also tried this DTS, but had no success with it.

Hi @wolf7250, I'm not familiar with OMV, so not sure what that update/upgrade process looks like. If it will update/upgrade the armbian packages to the latest release 25.11, then the correct version of armbian-bsp-cli will be installed. The installation of that package should update /boot/boot.scr and make a new U-Boot image available that you would have to install with nand-sata-install. Gr,

It looks like the training of AI bots is getting to a stall. Anyway, a knowledgeable contributor does not feed the bots. Instead, they judge if the info from the bot can save their life. Will this bot come to my house with food for free and put it into my mouth. Asking the bot to give money first might look a good first thing to do, but it isn't. Even if real coins or paper and not bank transaction.

Disk genius in my case reveals there is NO FAT32 boot partition, hidden or otherwise, only a root partition.

You can try, worse case it won't boot. What's the problem with that ? Only general. Switch to nightly repository and then switch to edge kernel: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/System/#rolling https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/System/#alternative-kernels but if it won't work, you are on your own to find out why it doesn't work. Also some features won't work. We never supported EDGE kernels due to extreme costs associated with such operation.

This is part of https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8777/files And there are no changes at our end. So I assume the issue was introduced in mainline?

@djoness I also have V4.0 Box, have same X96Q-Armbian-H313 V4.0 boot screen, so, I burn "Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-ddr3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server.img.xz" which you said to SD Card, My Box not work.Than i press and hold the Av button,The LED.Show Red,and. Screen Black. nothing. i don't press ,it will be inside to Android. what are you do, can make inside to Armbian.Tell me. Thanks a lot.

Good to know. I'm interested in getting the red LCD's to work as they are cheaper and more available, I purchased the waveshare only to test my SPI, SBC, and DTS formatting were functional. Now that I confirmed how to translate DTS to work with my SBC, I can work on the red ili9486/8 without worrying about it being a formatting issue.

The v2 uses a diff wifi chip: SKW wifi module VS6621S I have a patch for it, which came from KICKPI in the deb builder, but... I don't have a V2 to work any magic on it. chuanzz at one point contacted KICKPI and they sent him an archive that had a bunch of Armbian adds in it, including the patches and board.confs. But the HDD I had the archive on got erased by mistake, so yeah... I don't have the info anymore. I don't see the K2B REV2 getting official support here or by me, as its using a wifi chip that is just to obscure. Here is a u-boot-v2025.07 binary for the K2B REV2 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

I downloaded 'Armbian_25.11.2_Odroidc2_trixie_current_6.12.58_minimal.img.xz', flashed it to sdcard, and it booted fine. As a sidenote unrelated to the issue at hand, my first try was with the sdcard on a device with emmc, and in this case the boot process stopped after block-local (?), and dropped to initramfs shell prompt.

Brillant, eselarm! I followed your suggestion to avoid USB-adapter issues and took my quite old laptop with a MCC/SD slot. Run fsck -fn /dev/mmcblk0p1 - no errors! As you suspected, the USB-adapter is at fault! I grabbed all SD-USB adapters I collected over the years and tried them. Different results, fsck without errors using few of them. My lesson lerned is: NEVER TRUST A USB-SD ADAPTER! The strange thing however is, that using this faulty adapter (14cd:1212 Super Top microSD card reader (SY-T18)) some images like Armbian_25.8.1_Rockpi-e_noble_current_6.12.41.img fsck'ed OK. I think all my adapters can cope w/o problems with simple, more or less sequntiell, reads/writes. It's what they do most of the time. I guess, when it comes to more complex I/O operations requested by fsck, some of them give out. What eselarm also suggested. Just for reference, the bad ones: 2 x 14cd:1212 Super Top microSD card reader (SY-T18) 5136:4678 Generic USB2.0 Device aaaa:8816 MXT microSD CardReader The OK ones: two with this inside: 090c:6200 Silicon Motion, Inc. - Taiwan (formerly Feiya Technology Corp.) microSD card reader and 14cd:127b Super Top SDXC Reader (very old, labeled hama) Thanks and regards, Chris

@Maxim Shell Does it have a SD card slot? If not then it won't be easy to install Armbian.

Yes, you're right, I did a little Googling and clarified the specifications.

@Gavin Munday Try these images. Extract them first before you write to the SD card. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/tag/Radxa-a7a-v0.3

I now see that in your screenshot, a Windows filepath contains rk3588_sp... This Lyra has a rk3506B, that is a much different and only 32-bit SoC. So that seems not OK to me, so no surprise it does not work I think. But up to you to read documentation. And also I would not use Windows, the docs at luckfox assume Linux, so the commandline tool rkdeveloptool.\ I don't use Windows and also don't have this luckfox model, so cannot guess what is wrong actually.

@fedes_gl To list USB speeds, do You will get an output like: 480M is the important part, this is is usb2.0. for USB3.0 you will see 5G or 10G for 3.1 Also check your ethernet port speed with: (replace end0 with your ethernet device) And if im not mistaken, those are my 2 issues with this image: only usb2.0 and network speed of 100mbps. Making it similar to a 5 years old device.. Let me know if you found the same speeds.

@Phi Hùng Nguyễn that link looks nothing like Armbian. You shouldn’t install it on your tv box. Try my build it's unofficial Armbian but I provided source code. So you know what you are installing on your tv box. You can build it yourself if you want to. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/tag/20250306

Alright. Trust sacrificed. BTW, I am a 71yo real estate developer, which may explain my stupidity with coding, my not being able to ascertain streams of consciousness, nor plumb huge gaps in information. I would like to get some things done with the N2+, and the answer is Armbian is obviously not the way to do them. I have much bigger things to do than bit-twiddling. PS - NTPd doesn't fix time either.

Please STOP installing android Stock ROM's in this devices It's full of malware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vpepaQ-VQQ There's no malware, but you need to review all the code before using it. We're talking about Linux, the code is there, review it, don't trust it.

Hi pochopsp - I have the same issue on my Vontar X3. The frustrating thing is that it used in the past and now for some reason it doesn't detect the eMMC installation anymore. I haven't done a deep dive but probably (as the other participants in this thread suggest) it's only solvable with a new u-boot. Have you tried something out there? I guess if we get a new build running that new u-boot could be bundled with the releases to solve this issue for other users as well

AFAIK this can mean the ROCK3C (and software running on it) failed on interpreting HDMI info from your specific HDMI monitor (too old, buggy, not according spec, strange timing, too new, maybe more). See things w.r.t. EDID. One can set a certain video= statement on the kernel cmdline, you need to read docs etc what the options are. Easier might be to use an newer kernel, rockchip64 edge kernel is 6.18.x, that one much better RK35xx support than the 6.12.x one in the image. See armbian-config for selecting edge/beta kernel. Or change sources.list yourself so that you can just do apt install linux-image-edge-rockchip64
