Hi there, Some things you might want to check or confirm: I would expect that your OS would detect a new disk with one partition called armbi_root. Are you confident that you have used the correct image? If you are using wget to download an image from the main site's download area (https://www.armbian.com/helios64/) https://dl.armbian.com/helios64/Bookworm_current_minimal, do note that this will download Bookworm_current_minimal, which is actually an .xz image! You need to rename it to .xz and then unxz it to your SDcard. You cannot just dd that as that won't work. djurny@ekspiees:~/Downloads$ wget https://dl.armbian.com/helios64/Bookworm_current_minimal --2025-06-01 08:12:51-- https://dl.armbian.com/helios64/Bookworm_current_minimal Resolving dl.armbian.com (dl.armbian.com)... 152.53.81.238 Connecting to dl.armbian.com (dl.armbian.com)|152.53.81.238|:443... connected.

When I was testing/playing around with my Helios64 and rebooting a lot, I decided to take out some disks to prevent them from being stopped/started all the time. This led to random stalls in the OS reaching console login. After reinserting all disks this went away. Also, just to be clear where I'm coming from: I'm also still running Buster (5.9.13-rockchip64 #trunk.16) on my Helios64. Did not yet spend any time to go for Bookworm fully. Groetjes,

my current timezone is PST (suppose to be PH starndard time) configured via raspi-config, im guessing it is confusing itself with PST (Pacific standard time US). it really messing with my TZ. For my part the only workaround is to set it manually before i can upgrade the system $ TZ=':UTC'; export TZ

CRDA is deprecated, not needed since Linux 4.15, hence the package removed with Debian Bookworm. Problem is the default regulatory database on Debian works with Debian kernel only, not with Armbian kernel. But wireless-regdb provides the upstream database as well, so you only need to switch: sudo update-alternatives --set regulatory.db /lib/firmware/regulatory.db-upstream

You could try to create chromium.conf yourself. Here's what I have here: cat /etc/armbian/chromium.conf # Default settings for chromium-browser. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from # /usr/bin/chromium-browser # Options to pass to chromium-browser CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-smooth-scrolling \ --disable-low-res-tiling \ --enable-low-end-device-mode \ --num-raster-threads=$(grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo) \ --profiler-timing=0 \ --disable-composited-antialiasing \ --disk-cache-dir=/tmp/${USER}-cache \ --disk-cache-size=$(findmnt --target /tmp -n -o AVAIL -b | awk '{printf ("%0.0f",$1*0.3); }') \ --no-sandbox \ --test-type"

Armbian already is! uname -a Linux orangepi5-plus 6.15.0-edge-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 25 23:09:23 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux Itś on edge, but it's working fine here, apart from the analog audio...

Its 64bit, but support quality (tl;dr;) of Allwinner is behind Rockchip.

Created another standalone version of script for this ... https://gist.github.com/avatar21/e0deca347665bd620d0ea3f9f299028e I believe we need to compile our own armbian/ Kernel 6.13 (or above? because as @elvis claimed user driver is only 1/2 of the equation) before running this script ya? all copy/ flatten to a temp/fake root folder (where I understand the chroot sdcard means, build to a fakeroot not patching existing OS) and repackage as an img file ya? Or better still, can someone compile the whole thing? start from burning image ...

Thanks for your help, and I found the official image not support NPU, only Joshua-Riek image support? @Hqnicolas root@h96-tvbox-3566:~# ls /dev/dri/ by-path card0 card1 renderD128

During the first few boots on my Orange Pi Zero 3 1GB, RAM size seemed to be detected correctly. Yesterday I saw RAM size being reported as 2GB, also after a reboot. As soon as the fixed U-Boot is available to install I am happy to provide test results or other test procedures when needed!

Glade to see you back @sicxnull. Thanks for the shoutout! Tried my best while you were gone. I don’t own one of these boxes. But I guess it doesn’t matter which one I get because theirs so many variations of the same box.

I try your prebuild image, and no luck with wifi/Bluetooth. My tv box new revision and have YC8800D wifi chip. Can i do something to get work WiFi?

Thanks for this!

Rockchip devices generally cannot be bricked. Short the maskrom pin i showed you and reflash. You can build the image from source or from here https://github.com/armbian/community/releases

I have T95Z Plus w/ H618 and my TV box new revision. It has another wifi chip YC8800D. tried to run this build https://github.com/LYU4662/t95zplus-h618-build It work fine but no wifi and Bluetooth. Looks like it made already with 8800 driver, but system does recognize any wireless interfaces. Also try to run community build Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Vontar-h618_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server Its running good, but still no wifi and Bluetooth. In android /vendor/lib/modules found attached modules. Can i use them to get work wifi? aic8800_bsp.ko aic8800_btlpm.ko aic8800_fdrv.ko

Try looking for hints here: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/transcoding/hardware-acceleration/rockchip/ They use mali blobs for hw en-/decoding.

seems like the config should be distinguishing by models, not by .. idk even what it is. let say config->OrangePi2->hardware->peripherals->i2c->i2's enumerate.

All the kernel panic options that you have shown here occur on v6.12.23. It all happens randomly. I suspect that this may be due to the presence of broken (faulty) blocks on the memory device. It's easy to check this.If you connect the SD card via an adapter to a Linux computer: sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sdX1

I assume should work with vendor. Maybe missing node in device tree. Maybe missing firmware blobs or same as above. Expected since neither SPI nor eMMC are present by default. Direct boot from NVMe isn't support by any Rockchip soc.

does anyone know how to get maskrom and uart on this rk3228a board from mxq pro 4k 5G since pushing the little button shows up as armlogic devices on device manager but the actual chip is rockchip and sorry for bad quality images

Seems it is an option for timer resolution in the measurement of duration. But the topic is about CPU usage precision returned by getrusage function. it is hardcoded interval of time when kernel updates CPU usage of particular thread/process.

All Armbian board configurations files live in build/config/board/ Besides the Pcduino2 Cubieboard and OlinuXino-lime board, I don't know what other A10 boards still have some level of support. After that the next step would probably be to confirm that it works with uboot. Here you have another config file and dts. For any tweaks to uboot you will need to pass uboot-patch when running compile.sh. Note that when you do this you will need to open a new tab and navigate to cache/sources/u-boot-worktree/ Similiarly for the kernel you would navigate to cache/sources/kernel/ currently 6.12 is "current" while 6.14 is "edge" Hope this helps Ryzer

For production, boxes are much more interesting than boards. We just need to deal with a honest manufacturer. The last dtb from @mmie4jbcu worked very well for me in a x88 pro 20.

That solves it thank you very much for your time! If I want to change between boards like Rockpro64, Raspberry Pi4, etc. is there anything that needs to be considered as far as "reset" to a fresh state. For the guide I am writing I would like to make sure there is no lingering configuration that could cause problems when switching between builds for different boards.

Hello. I wonder if this issue is connected to my issue - to show something on i2c, while there is nothing, and not be able to communicate on it ?
