Hello, my Orange Pi 5 works well with the stock OS (1.22, Ubuntu Jammy, BSP kernel 6.1.99), using the SD as a boot device. But I prefer Armbian so I downloaded 25.8.2 / Ubuntu Server / 6.12. Wrote to SD, hooked up the debug UART and powered on. The bootloader is fine, the kernel starts, but at a certain point it panics: [ OK ] Reached target sockets.target - Socket Units.

Did you do Update All after removing knotes? If you were running wayland you will probably need to use Ctrl-Alt-F3 as wayland uses F1 and there is an (unusable) X server on F2 for xwayland. Then, after logging in sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade If that's not enough try sudo apt install task-kde-desktop

Can you copy those dtbo's to /boot/user-overlays (maybe they will need renaming) Then activate them in armbianEnv.txt? https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian_overlays/

An apt error related to ntpdate typically indicates a time synchronization issue, as apt relies on accurate system time for validating package release files. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=55588fd05011d482&rlz=1CDGOYI_enCA922CA922&hl=en-US&sxsrf=AE3TifMjcn14YNfEQNUHV48vtdb2hNOADw:1763573317647&q=How+to+fix+apt+error+around+ntpdate&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiLzojJ3v6QAxUbEFkFHatLG24Q1QJ6BAgQEAE&biw=390&bih=665&dpr=3

@Marvin-03 this trixie img boot on Orange pi 4A?!

That's nice, I don't have this new board BOM, be free to add the variant, I think board variants are included using a .dtso file for armbian i think we cannot include tirth party drivers, but any changes to .dts could be included into a .dtso file that's a way to enable this variant into mainline armbian

Good evening everyone. I acquired another X96Q TV Box with the same Armbian-H313 processor, but this time with revision V4.0. I flashed an SD card with the following image: Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-ddr3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server.img.xz Surprisingly, the box booted correctly with this version. However, when I tried to install my server, the system prompted me to perform an update. I ran the following command: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade After rebooting, the box remained stuck on the red LEDE. Luckily, I hadn't installed it in the internal memory. Here is a photo of the two cases: Here is a photo of the motherboards of both cases: Here is a photo of the X96Q-Armbian-H313 V4.0 boot screen: Here is a photo of the X96Q-Armbian-H313 V4.1 boot screen: Here is the X96Q-Armbian-H313 V4.0 report file: X96Q-Armbian-H313 V4.0.txt Here is the X96Q-Armbian-H313 V4.1 report file: X96Q-Armbian-H313 V4.1.txt Question: Could the difference between version V4.0 and V4.1 of X96Q explain the incompatibility during installation? And how can this be resolved? I would like to use them as servers. Is there any risk if I reinstall, but this time directly to the case's internal memory? Thank you in advancur help.

I made a typing error: Please use the the correct emmc block instead the parition: Extract the DTB file with: dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=rk3528-<TV_BOX_NAME>.dtb skip=<START_ADDR> count=<SIZE> bs=1

So I rebuilt the image, applied a patch to integrate the tpm into the dts during the build and it works. I still need to figure out how to make overlays work with GRUB in case we need them. Thank you for your support

You are likely hitting genuine bugs and/or the situation of missing packages. I do not use Cinnamon, so I cannot comment much. Try to see if there is anything relevant in the logs. Check ~/.xsession* files for hints, too. Maybe try a different DE first, set up it to be working and then work on your preferred choice after that. Have a look at APA which is trying to improve the experience of Armbian as an OS, maybe it can help you. Good luck, amigo!

@Igor, supposedly, these images do not boot. Maybe you have a chance to verify on your end.

One interface is for STA (client mode / normal wireless) and one for AP (access point, where you connect to) or P2P (Wi-Fi Direct). Some firmware / drivers enables this by default. Usually it is in Makefile (just example https://github.com/armbian/rtl8723ds/blob/main/Makefile) but it could also be deep in the code. Don't know.

Oh I get it. Since you are using another distro with newer versions of everything, my effort to build ffmpeg and mpv in Debian Trixie LOOKS like a backport to you XD

With 6.12, no changes as far as I know

Try pipewire instead of pulseaudio

Thank you for sharing. You might want to have a look at Shrink Backup as well.

Orange PI has very good hardware (better than RPI) but bad support of software from factory devellopers. Raspberry PI 5 is a bit slower but we have more support and always new versions. I have both.

@Maurizio Finesso Try editing on a linux machine instead of windows. I've seen some windows machines not be able to read the boot partition

In this case ethernet chip is realtek so it should be supported by armbian kernel? So problem is to find or make a modern DTS for this board?

This site deals with Armbian Linux not android. You should direct your question about restoring Android to a more appropriate forum

not recommended for rockchip socs since it cannot handle the rather high baud rate of 1.5Mbaud. Use FT232, CH340 or CP2104 instead.

Hello all, Ok, I'm going to comment on my own question here... I just now installed the Armbian 25.8.0 6.18.0 RC5 xfce version. It's not yet on the nvme drive but, it's significant faster than the 25.5.1 version. Now HD video works on the 5b+. It needs 2 seconds to stabilize but than it is perfectly fine to watch. I use Firefox as my browser. So thanks to the team! Ernst-Jan

Hi all, I would like to ask support for the board EMB-3531. I'm having problem with booting this board from SD card. Here are some informations about this board. I hope that someone can help me with it. Thank you so much! I try to erase the emmc and flash the MiniLoaderAll.bin but it doesn't help. Or i don't have a correct image with armbian for this board. https://my.kos.org.cn:5154/rockchip/EMB3531/emb3531.pdf

Try from here: https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/incoming/igorpecovnik/ (this is going to be next release - first test build).
