Hello! I recently ran updates on the old M2S I won from, and that appeared to break my OS, so I went back to try reinstall. And that's where I hit a snag. For some reason, after booting, the kernels refuse to see the partitions on the SD card. /dev/mmcblk0 exists, but none of the subpartitions, and so the boot process cannot find the partition it's supposed to boot from. Neither Armbian_25.5.1_Bananapim2s_trixie_current_6.12.32_minimal.img.xz nor Armbian_26.2.1_Bananapim2s_trixie_current_6.18.15_minimal.img.xz get me past this issue. I've tried changing the power supply, debug with LLMs, but nothing appears to be working. Any suggestions?

Hi, could someone please give me a backup of the MXQ PRO 4K (5G version) WiFi EA6521QF? I need it for my Android TV box. Thanks.

anyone able to build https://code.ffmpeg.org/Kwiboo/FFmpeg/src/branch/v4l2request-v3 on their opi5? i try to build on my opi5 with today current-kernel 6.18.35 and got error: ERROR: v4l2_request requested, but not all dependencies are satisfied: linux_media_h v4l2_timeval_to_ns v4l2_m2m_hold_capture_buf libdrm libudev try edge kernel 7.1 also got the same error. any idea?

@johlnx i try img cant booting, i think X88PRO13 use ddr4 of ram. how to build for rk5328 with ddr3 of ram ? device : h96 max 8k ultra hd .dtb .dts file ⬇️ rk3528-evb2-ddr3-v10.dtb rk3528-evb2-ddr3-v10.dts

Hello everyone, I am trying to install Armbian on my Android TV Box, but unfortunately, I flashed an incorrect firmware. Now the device is hard-bricked: the red and blue LEDs are blinking alternately, there is no HDMI output (black screen), and the physical reset button is not working properly. I already have an SD card loaded with the multitool to install Armbian, but I need to force the SoC into Maskrom Mode first so it can bypass the corrupted eMMC and boot from the SD card. Device Specifications: SoC: Rockchip RK3228A Board ID: T39-V1.0 Storage: eMMC (BGA type) I have attached the front and back photos of my PCB board (IMG-20260607-WA0027.jpg and IMG-20260607-WA0031.jpg) for reference. Could anyone help me identify the exact and safe test points (CLK to GND shorting points) for this specific T39-V1.0 board layout? Thank you so much for your help!

just for reference: the velvet-os image mentioned above is using some old mainline u-boot with patches from warpme minimyth2 from that time - here is how it was built: https://github.com/hexdump0815/u-boot-misc/blob/230127-01/readme.h616 ... the default u-boot of this image is the tx6s one best wishes - hexdump

This week's work centers on kernel and board enablement, CI infrastructure and caching, and user-facing tooling improvements across the imager and configuration utilities. On the kernel and board front, Rockchip edge moved to 7.1 and mainline was bumped to 7.1-rc7, while the Raspberry Pi 4B legacy target was re-enabled after a brief revert of the BCM2711 kernel bumps. New board support landed for BeagleBadge and TMDS64EVM (AM64x) on the TI platform, the Anbernic RG DS RK3568 handheld as CSC, and the Youyeetoo YY3588 received a mainline DTS rework with ES8388 audio routing. Several long-standing fixes were merged, including a meson64 GPIO can_sleep regression breaking 1-Wire, JMicron JMB582/JMB585 32-bit DMA forcing, and QRB2210 U-Boot load address corrections. A substantial CI and caching effort introduces a new git_cdn module providing a GitHub caching git+http proxy, an apt-cacher-ng configng module, and multi-arch Docker images for both. GitHub Actions runners now export per-runner apt, ghcr, ccache, and proxy environments from the NetBox registry, with added retry guards, SSH/rsync timeouts, and workspace ownership reconciliation between jobs. The rootfs builder now routes mmdebstrap through APT_PROXY_ADDR when configured. User-facing changes focus on the Armbian Imager and first-run experience. The imager gained marquee scrolling for long board names, a "Create new profile" shortcut, accurate progress-phase reporting, and surfaced flash write failures in place of blank error screens. The first-login flow now runs automatically on freshly-flashed boards, and armbian-firstrun uses atomic writes for armbianEnv.txt MAC randomization to prevent corruption. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux

I tried but failed because I didn't understand at first, but now I understand part of it, and my TV box is malfunctioning. The problem is that when I plug in the power cord with the adapter, no lights or anything come on, but when I plug in the USB cable near the LAN port, it starts up normally (because I initially followed method 4.2. Full install to NAND / eMMC). Now I've flashed the Android firmware and it's working, but the error is as I described above. So, is the power IC dead or is the problem somewhere else?

Nice work! I saw those messages but couldn't download it Can you tell me how you built it? or could you upload it again to filebin.net if possible.. I need the image too

I have sent a new pr. basically you do something like this: code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepioneplus BRANCH=edge kernel-config This will spawn a kernel menuconfig where you can modify the kernel config. This menu also takes all necessary dependencies into account. Once everything is done the kernel config file in config/kernel is modified. If you use a tool like vscode this will automatically visualize. If you manually change the kernel config file and want to check if your settings are persistent to rewriting you can use the code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } rewrite-kernel-config command similar to the one above.

@alexc Hi, thanks for the response and for the patch! Just to clarify — we actually used your PCIe BSP fix (commit a9eaa51d) and the stock, unmodified hailo_pci 4.21.0 driver from the official Hailo GitHub (v4.21.0 tag). No changes were made to the Hailo driver side at all. Earlier in the process we had experimented with workarounds on the Hailo driver (INTx bypass + polling thread), but those were reverted completely before the final test. The report describes the end state: your kernel patch + stock driver. Result with your fix: hailo 0000:04:00.0: Enabled MSI interrupt No INTx fallback, no polling. Load average dropped from 18+ to ~12, Frigate CPU from ~485% to ~83% (real inference on 9 cameras). Regarding the GitHub PR / kernel patch — that would be great. The fix is clearly in the right place (PCIe driver), and a proper patch submission would help other Allwinner A733 users with PCIe devices.

There is only this overlay for vendor kernel: /usr/lib/linux-image-6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx/rockchip/overlay/radxa-zero3-rpi-camera-v1.3.dtbo The mainline based kernel, what you use, there is none. So you would need to port it, from this radxa03 SBC or look at other devicetree overlay files, maybe from RadxaOS, maybe from RPiOS See 'man dtc' as a start, it might be a complete renaming of a lot of the .dtso file is needed, maybe it is just an enable line.

@Nick A Thanks that's interesting to see! I don't have a Cubie board to test with but I will look at those scripts for signal of what else can be shared as common between the boards. I think the mainline work you are doing (along with linux-sunxi's work) are definitely the long term solution.

Yes, but now, I'm trying to make Bluetooth work and put Armbian to boot from eMMC. But I don't know exactly how to correctly submit these changes.

@Ovaday First of all, thank you for the initiative. This repository contains the files that will be used as example to enable your board in Armbian: https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp The example file you're referring to is this one: https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp/blob/main/config/boards/h96-tvbox-3566.tvb The boot settings you should use may vary considerably from this reference, but your device will need a configured bootloader. https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp/tree/main/patch/u-boot/v2026.04/board_h96-tvbox-3566 You will need to focus on the new kernels like: https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp/tree/main/patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-7.1/dt The repository you need to interact with to include these files is this one: https://github.com/armbian/build You need to validate everything before publishing, so do some hard work using this compiler: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Overview/

I again apologize, even though I can not see what was "hostile" in what I wrote. I simply misunderstood and apologized for that, even though I think you are the passive aggressive one here. I am so sorry. (I will add you to ignore list so I will never accidentally interact with you again, so no need to leave the community if it is due to me)

After a few days of testing I have to say it works great. No issue whatsoever. Stable, usb, eth, wifi, bt works. Great work!

I have a few of those and when connected to RPi5 PSU and set to 12V, it can power my Rock5B with NVME SSD and some other peripherals as well.

I tested the new driver in my box (the router and box are in two different rooms). As you can see, just as @WallaceWebs mentioned, the upload speed has improved significantly. Before merging this pull request, the speed was 8.25Mbps, and now it is 33.46Mbps.
