BTF is hungry for memory, yes. KERNEL_BTF=n and it needs less. On 16Gb+ machine you should be fine. If not memory is eaten away by something else.

I got emby installed and working. Made it launch with the ir remote, it was all perfect until I tried to play a video I've set it to use mpv but it seems the emby package has it's own version of mpv and ffmpeg baked in as the versions reported in the mpv.log are different and it fails to use drm, it seems the following errors are the problem. [ 0.028][v][libmpv_render/drmprime] drmprime hwdec requires at least one dmabuf interop backend. [ 0.028][v][libmpv_render] Loading failed. [ 1.422][v][ffmpeg] Unable to open any dma_heap device [ 1.422][e][ffmpeg/video] hevc: Failed to set destination format: S265 1920x1080 [ 1.422][e][ffmpeg/video] hevc: Failed setup for format drm_prime: hwaccel initialisation returned error. When I launch the same file directly in mpv, it plays fine and doesn't have the errors above. The system has mpv version 0.35.1 but emby reports using 0.38.0-dirty. Same with ffmpeg and all the associated lib files, they are all higher versions and I can't find duplicates in the system so I believe they are packaged as part of the emby app so I really doubt it's something I will be able to fix unfortunately. Tried Kodi and that's missing all the acceleration settings. Jellyfin client doesn't work with an emby server anymore. Just to attempt to keep this on topic, I don't suppose there is anything I can config with the image that might resolve the dma_heap errors? edit: I figured out a solution, emby lets you configure an external player. I just set that to /usr/bin/mpv and it works.

Issue booting Multitool on RK322x Box (Kingston eMCP) - Red IR Light Only Hi everyone, First of all, thank you for this incredible project. Bringing new life to these generic boxes is vital work. I am struggling to boot the Multitool on an "RPC Plus" TV Box. Here are my hardware specs and the steps I’ve taken so far: Hardware Specs: SoC: Rockchip RK3229. Storage/RAM: 8GB Kingston eMCP (Chip ID: O8EMCP08-ELSCV100). SD Card: 16GB Lexar microSD (Class 10). Board LEDs: POWER, NET, and IR. Since the official download links for the Multitool are currently down (I get a 404 error idk why), I had to compile it myself on a Debian machine using the https://github.com/paolosabatino/armbian-build?tab=readme-ov-file repo and the ./create_image.sh rk322x script. I flashed the 500MB image to a 16GB Lexar card using BalenaEtcher and placed the Armbian minimal forky (6.18.7) image inside the /images folder (file name Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.357_Rk322x-box_forky_current_6.18.7_minimal.img.xz). The problem is that the box just won't boot from the SD card. When I hold the reset button and plug the power, the only thing I get is a static red light on the IR LED—no HDMI signal, no activity on the Power or Net LEDs, nothing. Android still boots fine if I pull the card out, so the hardware is okay, but it seems the boot process is hanging. I've tried both the reset and update buttons with different timings but no luck so far. I’m attaching pictures of the board and the chip. Any help to get this thing past the red light would be great. I'm putting the pictures of the board here in case it helps. Thanks! IMG_6826.HEIC IMG_6827.HEIC

Hi if anyone have interested, this is dtb files and orangepienv file 🙂 allwinner.zip

Hi Gaetano, Maybe the issue is with g_mass_storage rather than OTG USB? "The "dr_mode" property controls whether OTG acts a peripheral or host. By default this is set to OTG mode so you shouldn't need to change anything. In my case I prefer to have OTG set as host for which I have this simple overlay: dts-v1/; /plugin/; /{ compatible = "allwinner,sun4i-a10", "allwinner,sun7i-a20"; fragment@0{ target = <&usb_otg>; __overlay__{ dr_mode = "host"; }; }; }; I find it works ok for reading a USB stick. It could be that you have to instead change dr_mode = "peripheral" but seeing as it shows up as a drive this may not be necessary. What kernel version are you currently? Are there any errors that show up in the logs? sudo dmesg | tail -n 20 There is also usb_f_mass_storage however this would need to be manually added as it is not currently included by default within the list of installed modules (Well at least was not on the last build I ran) Best of luck Ryzer

can confirm: I installed the latest image `Armbian_25.11.1_Radxa-dragon-q6a_noble_edge_6.18.0-rc6_minimal.img` and wifi works. After an `apt upgrade` wifi doesnt work anymore... Solution: same as on the Rock 5C @just_facking_about type in `sudo dpkg-reconfigure aic8800-usb-dkms` and reboot the device

It's this image from @Nick A github. Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X98h_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img I had to copy over a few firmware files to get wifi/bluetooth working but otherwise it's unchanged.

Hey Paul! Thanks for flagging this, going to look at it today and send a patch, the name probably got changed in the TI tree relatively recently so hadn't caught it yet. Best, Andrei

I would first check the link, what is on the other side, etc. Also do a flood ping with large enough packages. Or UDP flood, not sure how to do that. Iperf3 might be easier. I have no clue about Radxa OS, never really used it. Maybe also do test boot with mainline based kernel, 6.19 edge I think. And what U-Boot version is used. I use Tianocore EDK2 UEFI v1.1, that might also have effect.

Hi, i think the rpm setting-step's of the onboard fan is to low. - how can this be adjusted? SBC: Rock5b

Hello everyone, I'm still having trouble flashing the h96 max m9 to armbian os, I still haven't succeeded in using the maskrom, but the uart connection has worked, is it possible to flash only the uart connection? Please help me with the steps for flashing the H96 M9.

If there is anyone still running an older version of the kernel and the USB-C is working it would be helpful if I can get a copy of your rk3588s-odroid-m2.dtb.

https://github.com/armbian/os/pull/426 Once automation finishes - couple of hours, repo will have a missing package. Workaround: manually install package from https://packages.debian.org/forky/zfs-zed

Headers are present. https://imola.armbian.com/apt/pool/main/l/linux-headers-current-rockchip64/ Upgrade packages to latest and try again.

etcher did decompess before flash to the SD card

Hi @Anto, Igor has built that version if you look in his post above: https://forum.armbian.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=15377&key=f234d69d5a19f0081fdad46abb21cc36

Some context: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-things-stop-working The hardest part and expensive for time is keeping functions working while kernel changes, goes up. Image you are referring too is probably a demo image with some ancient kernel that will never be changed. This is usual way to sell hardware. It is made to work, but you will stay at this very old SW stack without any real option to change or fix anything. All functions on 300+ boards, which on top of extreme diversity, have also different revisions, quality issue ... is already not possible to keep up by entire open source community. Armbian is small part focused into SBCs and we do what we can. Work we are doing is never complete, we (nobody) can't solve bugs and especially not near to (expected) real-time. We (or community open source in total) can address a problem within weeks or months fastest as resources are tiny compared to problems that are constantly found in open source code that somebody else made. We have no option to expand the team / project as users don't care about well being of SW developers. We can only try to keep SW stack operational on a best effort principle. Once this job becomes too expensive (<1% of costs share is on users side), we have to step back and declare support as "community". We will continue to build and ship images as they might still work for some use cases and as downstream projects will provide those Armbian images anyway.

A month ago when doing test boots and power measurements, see I discovered that when using the RPL 27W 'Pi5' PSU, the NanoPi-R6C with the indicated bootloader(s) and kernel(s) sticks to 5V. But when using a 45W USB-C PD PSU from a HP laptop or 60W USB-C PD PSU white-label, switch is made I saw on a USB-C PD power measurement device that was also in the chain. More detailed USB-C PD protocol analysis seems to be needed in order to figure out what happens. One could guess 3A is requested at highest possible voltage as with the 45W PSU, I saw 15V. 9V or 12V would also be OK, but the PD handler cannot be 100% sure I think, depends also what is inserted in USB type-A ports on device etc.

does emmc working yet?

@Nick A Oh yeah, I did change a few things as well for type c. Maybe the drm heap changes are not needed after all. Looking at my changes. husb311 is now under drivers/power/typec, so just enable it. et7304 is not included in the original bsp, radxa team added them later so simply apply this same patch. https://github.com/radxa/allwinner-bsp/commit/156b6578cc173855b41ea311a229403ccbadb17c

With new python based build system there is error compiling headers while installing headers deb. Im not sure is it because of new build system or the problem is in 6.1.15 kernel branch.
