FWIW rkvdec will be out of staging in 6.17 Be prepared to forward-port existing out-of-tree patches. cedrus has not seen much movement since a long time It can therefore be assumed that all necessary out-of-tree modifications from the past must be applied even with the latest kernel version. Since no mainline developments have taken place, no forward porting should be necessary.

@psygnosis Which version of Armbian and os are you running? Yesterday I loaded current noble on a test system and I just noticed that it is running hot (45) even with a significant heat sink. Another operational system that is running current bookworm runs much cooler (32). If you are running noble, could I ask you to try bookworm to see if there is a difference. I will load up my test system with bookworm to check also.

hi guys, Danubio from Uruguay successfully tested very nice QPC2 Sinclair QL emulator (hybrid m68k + win32 peripheral code) on armbian with hangover 🙂 https://theqlforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5330 he is testing lot of old windows music apps on armbian this way, so I asked him also to test QPC2, this was one of my cool use cases for armbian too (busy here with other things still so ... my way to linux is very slow ...) Petr

My story is definitely NOT a success story I see the media.patches in the cache folder, I compile armbian edge, but the image didn't contain the cedrus+v4l2 kernel modules I need for decoding acceleration

Some progress : I noticed the warning "checksum failed" when I do get-edid | parse-edid on my asus monitor. As a test, I connected a Dell monitor instead and I don't get the checksum error with it. Also, after a reboot, I do get a full HD 1920x1080 resolution on the Dell monitor! So, the real issue appears to be that the kernel override does not work, the kernel still reads the EDID from the monitor even when fed the extraarg line extraargs=drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/edid_asus_vs228.bin video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60 drm.debug=0x4 from my defective edid asus monitor, or from the correct generic /lib/firmware/edid/1920x1080.bin file. How do I go about solving this? Who should I talk to? Who builds the armbian kernel? Is there a switch when building it that can be changed to solve this?

@Benedito Portela thanks for reply I have another gigabit router that works, but It doesnt have Fiber optics and tnelefone. Idk If this is useful. I contacted my provider because they don't offer access to the router. They said all ports are on automatic and it only works at 100/1000 Mbps. I've tried everything, even changing the TV Box's speed negotiation, but it doesn't support it. The only way that works is to put a device between it and the main router.

thanks, pulled it.

Hello Павел NetAid, put sd card in windows and resize the small partition with disk format tool.

I'll try those ag123, thanks!

I've followed your suggestion and used the configure sw. I've solved. Thank you.

Hi all, I managed to install Armbian on a X96 Linux TVBox with 4Gb RAM and 32Gb ROM. I've build the image following the Armbian Build Framework. - v25.08 rolling for aml-s9xx-box running Armbian Linux 6.12.37-current-meson64 I reused the DTB that originally comes with the BOX and almost everything seems to work. I tested the system using glmark2 with a score of 197. I suppose GPU is working. Anyway I've some problems with Electron. I have installed the "hello world" app. The application starts but I receive this error: [4150:0714/130924.545719:ERROR:ui/gfx/linux/gbm_wrapper.cc:79] Failed to get fd for plane.: No such file or directory (2) [4150:0714/130924.547711:ERROR:ui/gfx/linux/gbm_wrapper.cc:261] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2) Any suggestion? Davide

I encountered the same issue using a custom v25.08 "RPi4b" image with kernel 6.12.37-current-bcm2711. I found out, that adding the following line to /boot/firmware/config.txt brings back the missing i2c device: However, this used to happen automatically with the old "RPi5" images.

For Linux CP2102 doesn't work at 1.5 megabaud or 1500000 baud. for linux I discovered the CH341A I2C programmer. I just set it to TTL by a jumper and use it as 1.5 megabaud TTL UART 1500000 baud

@ER Samson To help figure out why your unit is stopping you could connect to it via an ssh session and as root run "journalctl -f". this might catch any error messages just prior to failure. When running with logs in zram, as Armbian does, the last messages in the logs are quite often lost when the system abruptly stops.

ADVANTECH EPC-R4680?

I bring the board up to use it on metal and Low level development, I use pci-e for jtag but I never considered the possibility of using an nvme there In my opinion, if you have a board that is running with internal emmc and sdcard you can provide an adjustment for pci-e NVME, It is a small adjustment, related to just one functionality of the board. I hope I'm not the only one with this board in my hands

I'll try

Apparently I'm an idiot and did not fully read the instructions linked. I had not previously copied the files as per the instructions. Doing so allowed box64 to compile most of the way, and I then ran into the issue described here. I tried deleting the file as described and that did not help. I am unsure if my rpi zero 2w will work to compile it, but I shall post an update once I test that, then try copying the file over.

vendor branch is based on latest rockchip bsp which is 6.1.115 atm. You can use code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } armbian-config to switch.

Hello Mark, Sorry, I think I solved the problem by creating a readme file. Now you can create a fork of the github projet: https://github.com/GuillaumeLopere/Armbian-TX95Max-AllwinnerH618/fork - Then you can add documents with "+" and "Upload files" - "Choose your files" and Check the box "Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request" I think this is the easiest way to do it. Best regards, Guillaume

OK I've actually found the crux of the issue, though I haven't tried to figure out specifically what causes it yet. I ordered another Dumb TypeC->DP adapter cuz I figured there might be a bridge in my last one that was messing things up. It did the same thing with the messed up colors and shifted image. Then I remembered I have a typeC dock that's smart and has a DP port and it works fine. Checking Dmesg I noticed the dock sets up link training for 2 lanes @ 8.1Ghz. The dumb adapters with the bad color train 4 lanes at 2.7Ghz because that's what my display advertises. The Orange Pi5 Plus manual states: 1 x Type-C (DP 1.4A) output, up to 4K@60FPS To meet that bandwidth it needs to supply either 4 DP lanes @ HBR2 or 2 DP lanes @ HBR3. I reprogrammed My display's bridge (it's custom) to advertise only 2 DP lanes at 2.7Ghz. Now that's what the Opi does and the image is perfectly fine. So I think what happens here is the Orange Pi 5 may not actually have 4 lanes to supply over type C but it's configured so that it will try if requested. The 2 lanes of DP it can supply are incomplete as they are expecting to be merged with the other 2. When using a smart typeC dock, it intercepts the display's DPCD report and says "I only have 2 lanes at HBR3 so that's what I want". On a Type C dock with USB ports it's not possible to pull 4 lanes out of the host connection because the other 2 lanes have to be used for USB3.x. So basically the Opi has to be told the sink only has 2 lanes or it will screw up when it delivers 4 lanes and can't. I assume that's the correct assessment cuz I can plug this thing into any other PC with a real DP or type C alt and the color is fine, reporting 4 lanes over DPCD. I assume this is probably a device tree thing, I'll update the git issue on Opi's kernel repo, just figured it'd be good to let anyone trying to use it what might be going on.

Hello, I have a MXQ Pro 5G 4K TV Box with Allwinner H616 and the motherboard IK316-EMCP_V4.1. I am looking for a server (CLI only) version of the Armbian image for this device. The previously shared Google Drive links in this topic are no longer working. Could someone please provide a new download link (Google Drive, MEGA, etc.) for the latest server image compatible with my device? If there are any specific instructions for booting or the correct DTB file, please let me know. Thank you very much!
