From desktops I tested Gnome - works.

I looked at this for an hour and unfortunately can't figure it out. It seems that Ambian didn't 'fork' from Armbian, instead did something else to make their clone of your code.

@Nick A I tested images from your repo and still can't get one to boot properly from the eMMC in my hardware. The hardware is a X96Q LPDDR3 v1.3 (I'm pretty sure since this info is written in the mainboard). Tested image was Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-lpddr3-v1-3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server.img. When booting from SD card, it works. After installing to eMMC and booting from it, I get: [ 2044.312802] reboot: Power down U-Boot SPL 2025.01-armbian-2025.01-S6d41-P7151-H8869-V98f7-Bb703-R448a-dirty (Apr 02 2025 - 21:19:05 -04 00) DRAM:testing 32-bit width, rank = 2 read calibration failed! testing 32-bit width, rank = 1 DRAM:Store cfg DRAM:1st writing pattern DRAM:detecting column address bits detected 10 columns DRAM:restore cfg DRAM:reconfigure for all active rows DRAM:store cfg DRAM:2nd writing pattern DRAM:detecting row address bits detected 15 rows DRAM:restoring cfg DRAM:end of auto detect dram size MBUS port 0 cfg0 0100000d cfg1 00640080 MBUS port 1 cfg0 06000009 cfg1 01000578 MBUS port 2 cfg0 0200000d cfg1 00600100 MBUS port 3 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00500064 MBUS port 4 cfg0 20000209 cfg1 1388157c MBUS port 5 cfg0 00640209 cfg1 00200040 MBUS port 6 cfg0 00640209 cfg1 00200040 MBUS port 8 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00400080 MBUS port 11 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00640080 MBUS port 14 cfg0 04000009 cfg1 00400100 MBUS port 16 cfg0 2000060d cfg1 09600af0 MBUS port 21 cfg0 0800060d cfg1 02000300 MBUS port 22 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00640080 MBUS port 25 cfg0 0064000f cfg1 00200040 MBUS port 26 cfg0 20000209 cfg1 1388157c MBUS port 37 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00400080 MBUS port 38 cfg0 00640209 cfg1 00200040 MBUS port 39 cfg0 20000209 cfg1 1388157c MBUS port 40 cfg0 00640209 cfg1 00200040 1024 MiB Trying to boot from MMC2 NOTICE: BL31: v2.10.14(debug):armbian NOTICE: BL31: Built : 18:07:43, Apr 2 2025 NOTICE: BL31: Detected Allwinner H616 SoC (1823) NOTICE: BL31: Found U-Boot DTB at 0x4a0b2520, model: hechuang,x96-q LPDDR3 v1.3 INFO: ARM GICv2 driver initialized INFO: Configuring SPC Controller INFO: PMIC: Probing AXP305 on RSB ERROR: RSB: set run-time address: 0x10003 INFO: Could not init RSB: -65539 INFO: BL31: Platform setup done INFO: BL31: Initializing runtime services INFO: BL31: cortex_a53: CPU workaround for erratum 855873 was applied INFO: BL31: cortex_a53: CPU workaround for erratum 1530924 was applied INFO: PSCI: Suspend is unavailable INFO: BL31: Preparing for EL3 exit to normal world INFO: Entry point address = 0x4a000000 INFO: SPSR = 0x3c9 INFO: Changed devicetree. ns16550_serial serial@5000000: pinctrl_select_state_full: uclass_get_device_by_phandle_id: err=-19 U-Boot 2025.01-armbian-2025.01-S6d41-P7151-H8869-V98f7-Bb703-R448a-dirty (Apr 02 2025 - 21:19:05 -0400) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner H616 (SUN50I) Model: hechuang,x96-q LPDDR3 v1.3 DRAM: 1 GiB Core: 59 devices, 20 uclasses, devicetree: separate WDT: Not starting watchdog@30090a0 MMC: mmc@4020000: 0, mmc@4021000: 3, mmc@4022000: 1 Loading Environment from FAT...

[...] Note that it says "U-boot loaded from SD" but it was not, there is no SD plugged in in this test. Also, It got much further than the upstream one. U-boot was loaded (all stages), it found the boot script & initrd, but then fell apart when loading dtb and booting kernel. Another very interesting issue is that this image that booted fine on the first time, will not boot again from the SD a second time (it hits the same issue as above even from the SD card). I need to re-flash the SD so it will boot again. Very weird.

Hi, I'm still having this issue after installing qemu-emulators-full and qemu-user-static on the host (arch) does anyone have any idea or workaround ?

I'm thinking of getting https://www.beagleboard.org/boards/beagley-ai I see there is this page for it https://www.armbian.com/beagley-ai/ I also see references to it in the code: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aarmbian+beagley&type=code Are there any pre-built images available for it? Or would I have to build one?

my uboot was armbian 2025.1, so I have no idea why it wasn't working with even Armbian mainline trixie.

The easiest route is to simply flash it to a microsd card and boot from it. Once booted issue "armbian-install" to move the OS and boot loader to eMMC. eMMC should be accessible directly if tools like rkdeveltool or whatever that is called is used. Never used that personally, seems tricky to use. Prefer first path.

Hello fellow Linux gurus, Seeking for some assistance on this. I have NIC1 on 192.168.100.1/24 network with gateway set as 192.168.100.254 < this cant be changed. with a few PC’s connected to this. And NIC2 on 10.10.10.1/24 with a few devices on this. I want to be able to ping from PC1 connected to NIC1 on 192.168.100.100/24 to devices connected to NIC2 on 10.10.10.100/24 Could someone advise on the route settings I need to configure to make this work please ?

I was able to find a UART module to read out the boot. See the file attached of the full log I was able to capture. It seems to fail on this part: Starting kernel ... done.

Hi @Kelvie Wong I have a similar problem with rk3568 on 6.12.45 with HDMI: it works on some displays and not on others. Can you share how you solved the problem?

Terrific! You're welcome!

@Rodrigo Campos@Nick A This guy seems to have created a u-boot that can get 4gb ram for M98-8K. https://github.com/nitrolack/M98-8K-Linux/blob/main/U-Boot Screen 20-03-2024

For anyone interested in solving this temporarily, doing the following steps worked for me: sudo systemctl edit systemd-networkd ### Editing /etc/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service.d/override.conf ### Anything between here and the comment below will become the new contents of the file [Service] ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 5 ### Lines below this comment will be discarded sudo systemctl daemon-reexec sudo reboot

Guys, please do keep us all updated on the rk3528. I was just about to buy a job lot of boards for a grid computing project when I found it's not supported yet. I found that my old TV rk32xx box was well supported, so am prepared to wait.

Thanks for the reply. In the end I soved it by following also a few steps from over here. I don't know exactly what did the trick, but actually I assume it was pure coincidence: my ethernet device is actually called en0, not eth0. During my first run through this tutorial I wasn't aware of that. I think I simply forgot to change this bit in my recent try and luckily got it working that way. About the systemd-cryptsetup: I don't know if I understand correctly, but doesn't this do some of the steps automatically which we set up manually? If so, maybe it should be adopted to this tutorial in the future …

There are three ways to do this. The first simplest is to assemble a binary debian package using the Armbiyan assembly system and then convert it to a rpm package directly in a running OpenSuse OS. The second way is more complicated but it is more correct. You can take patches directly from the build system and apply them to OpenSuse kernel sources in the sequence in which the build system does this while running. Next, build the kernel package using rpmbuild. The third way is the same as the second but use OBS. This will allow you to have your own repository of signed packages and install them using zypper. You can find like-minded people anywhere on our planet, including this place. Hope this helps you.

Yes, cpufrequtils has been removed upstream. It's not anymore in Debian stable. https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keywords=cpufrequtils

Hey, I think I'm impacted by the same issue. I've replaced the original fan of the HC4 with a Noctua NF-A4x10 5V PWM earlier this year. It was working as expected, but since couple weeks the fan is at 100% speed continuously, which is loud. It sounds like it's a software upgrade that broke the PWM control, but no idea which one. I've done part of the same testing you mentioned but didn't managed to find a fix neither. I'm probably even more beginner than you, so I don't think I can help much unfortunately. How can we get more eyes on this issue? Did you post on Odroid Forum?

OK, so I installed the latest Debian/Trixie + Cinnamon + vendor kernel available and audio is working. The name of the cards and mixers are different though: speaker-test worked both by specifying the mixer (... -D plughw:CARD=rockchiphdmi0,DEV=0) or through PulseAudio's ALSA emulation after setting the default sink to the rockchiphdmi0 card. The list of audio cards is different in the vendor kernel than what's available OOB with the edge kernel, so I'm not sure if the configuration is comparable. But the audio port/cable combo seems to be fine so there's that..

Yes, exactly.

@Ducdanh Nguyen, can you contact seller of your tv box and ask if they can provide firmware (or "firmware update") for it?

https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt/pool/noble-utils/b/base-files/ They are in. Perhaps need some time for repo to get in sync.
