Hi, @Nick A yes, of course, I extracted the archive and burned the .img image, but I burned the image using Armbian Imager. Today I tried burning the manufacturer's image to another flash drive, and it launched successfully. After that, I tried burning yours again, and everything worked on a different flash drive when burning it using BalenaEtcher! Amazing! The only thing I want to point out is that I have rev 1.10 selected, and the network card doesn't seem to be detected (wired connection). root@radxa-cubie-a7a:~# sudo lshw -class network *-network description: Wireless interface physical id: 12 logical name: wlan0 serial: 9c:04:b6:84:46:4b capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=usb driverversion=6.18.19-edge-sun60iw2 ip=192.168.99.218 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11 root@radxa-cubie-a7a:~# I tried downloading and installing the driver from the radxa repository (the USB version).

Me neither. This is my primary intention, just currently overwhelmed with things. I did some changes on top on official: https://github.com/armbian/supervised-installer

Hi @jock, thanks for the feedback! Honestly, I didn't expect the current images to be that up to date — when I was looking for a stable image for the RK322x I ended up grabbing what was readily available (24.2.5 Bookworm) without checking if there were newer ones. My bad for not looking more carefully. I'll update the box to Trixie with kernel 6.18 and also take a look at the ffmpeg/mpv thread you mentioned. Appreciate the pointers!

For mate IIRC they use gnome's gnome-language-selector (start it in a terminal if you are missing the icon in settings), but it was a while since I used that desktop-env so I could be wrong. My old notes says the setting should be in: System > Control Center > Language Support For your information (as a fellow Swedish person): there is a locale called en_DK.UTF-8 that you might want to use instead. That way you get the correct settings for Scandinavian (like date/clock format for example) but the language is English. Or you can probably do it in terminal altogether: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales # select en_DK.UTF-8 here, or whatever locale you want to use, I will use the dk version in this example localectl set-locale LANG=en_DK.UTF-8 sed -i "s/sv_SE/en_DK/" ~/.dmrc

Hello @vlw, Pull latest from build framework, compile and retry, we migrate R76S to use mainline uboot due a issue with uboot vendor. Let's update us.

thanks @Arthur Gu, I will test and include into a PR to armbian tested on 6.18.32-current-rockchip64 https://paste.armbian.com/ekupotacut ok, I find your PR: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9832 will apply the instructions to a new PR https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9877 tested on 7.0.9-edge-rockchip64 https://paste.armbian.com/amimofemog

This is a work-in-progress resource for bare-metal bringup for Rockchip devices. Source code: https://github.com/petabyt/rk https://danielc.dev/rk/

The issue has been resolved. It turns out that the official release has already configured the necessary documents or files before distribution. When I used im‑config, it gave me no response at all. Following the XDG Autostart manual, I copied /usr/share/applications/org.fcitx.Fcitx5.desktop to ~/.config/autostart; after that, fcitx5 starts automatically and works normally when I reboot or log out and back in. Thanks

@sven-ola Sorry, this was indeed a mystery problem with my SSD. I replaced it, and now everything works like a charm (I just need the CLI server; Wi-Fi or GPU isn’t necessary). By the way, when is the stable release planned?

@Sergioclr remove those two Failing patches you don’t need them anyways.

@SecLyzer U-Boot can boot from a FAT32 or Linux file system. You can change this in your board configuration file.

Due to the shortage of memory chips these days, Radxa is using different emmc models in their boards. For example, I recently ordered a big batch of Rock S0 boards, but they had to be delivered with Sandisk iNAND 32GB emmc drives instead of the typical 8GB option. The problem is that Armbian did not reliably boot on these new boards. It randomly gets stuck during initialization with the onboard LED endlessly blinking. Some boards works, some did not, some only works sometimes. Long story short, in case other people also have this problem: I found the solution. I believe it is caused by Armbian's Rock S0 device tree enabling the HS200 high speed mode for the emmc device. (source) I guess not all emmc chips reliably support this. To fix it, I had to remove the line in the device tree linked in the source above. Actually this should probably be done with a proper device tree modification, but in my case, just to test, I modified the boot scripts. In /boot/boot.cmd, add these lines near the bottom, but ABOVE the "booti ..." line: fdt rm /mmc@ff490000 mmc-hs200-1_8v fdt set /mmc@ff490000 max-frequency <0x02faf080> Then recompile in terminal with: mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr If you update the kernel/armbian distro these script will probably get overwritten, hence why it should preferably done with a custom device tree instead. But in my case I have frozen updates, and either way this will serve as a starting point for others having the same issue. Actually, I cannot see this troublesome patch on the 6.18 distro source, so maybe this is old news and no longer a problem on modern images anyway. But my image is still on 6.12, so I figured I'd share anyway.

@Taz Radxa's u-boot won’t load the kernel image. So I used vmlinux.

none which doesn't break other boards.

Armbian has limited resources. And given that there are hundreds of different boards out there, generally that means that new boards only get supported either because the company behind them is willing to contribute to Armbian (and Orange Pi has made if very clear that they don't do anything to support their boards software after the fact as it would reduce sales for new boards they are constantly introducing), or some volunteer from the community steps up to volunteer their time to add support. Most boards under Armbian are community supported. So it relies on volunteers like you to do the work.

Are you using the rolling release? Otherwise you should not use "full-upgrade" but rather just "upgrade". Not saying that is the reason for missing deps, but it definitely could be.

@Giunti & @samlevy0515 It would be helpful to the community if you responded to the developer trying to fix this issue rather than state a workaround. Thank you.

Did you try Yamagi Quake 2 with OpenGL ES1? A developer optimized it, and I assume it will also be a lot faster on a PBP, but it might be that certain mods don't work with GLES1. You have to build it like this: make -j4 WITH_SDL3=no with_gles1 Select OpenGL ES1 in the Video Settings. If you don't see blood particles (or they are squares), go to the game console and disable a certain module: gl1_pointparameters 0 Restart the game and have fun!

R76S migrated to use only uboot mainline, tested on real hardware, wait the next releases that's at the end of this month.

Got the same board running Armbian with ChatGPT. Because we performed a lot of experiments, here are summary of how we actually got it running tl.tr: upgrade_tool is wonderful, but running it on my board destroyed everything and I had to recover from backups. We backuped board completely, then intentionally corrupted android bootloader from adb and managed to get U-Boot running via modification of boot.scr Here is a chat-gpt generated summary:

To help others, here is the solution to my problem: I downloaded some firmware versions available here (https://xdaforums.com/t/help-with-a-s805x-box-official-firmware-update-borked-it.4646963/post-89791881) and used Android's Recovery mode to return the version. I clicked on "Apply update from" and used the .zip file for this. With this, the restart loop problems were resolved and now I can run Armbian directly from the pendrive. I'm trying to install it directly on the eMMC and I hope it works, I'll come back here with news.

Hello everyone , i tried flashing the slimboxtv using phoenix app , but failed in the middle of it and the device wont boot and wont go into bootloader mode anymore . Driver was installed successfully , but what i did that was not mentioned on the tutorial was plugging the usb cable after the power cable whipe holding the reset button as it didnt detect it via usb cable alone . Any way to unbrick ? Anyhelp would be appreciated

Orangepi4pro is pure shit. A lot of marketing and no support at all. No driver to install nvme, I ruined the SPI trying to install Assist, and now I have a unuseful expensive brick.
