First test was in a CLI environment so running fullscreen. Self built with no media related changes to the configuration. Edge build around kernel 6.15.0 and running on Pcduino2 For the second test I used the build scripts to create a desktop image which came to be less of a headache because less dependencies had to resolved than working purely with CLI only. This was built around kernel 6.15.4 and running on Pcduino3. This time got a blue screen within the window and lots of errors relating to dmabuf. test2.txt I currently have CMA set to 64mb, although this is overridden by the shared-dma-pool within the sun7i-a20.dtsi

Hi @C127, any progress on the DTS?

Probably worth a shot - I had an install one time that gave me fits at initial boot. For giggles I expanded the FS using Gparted in linux to fill the entire card. It solved that problem for me.

Hi Armbian folks, I’m new to the forum and joined today (07:42 PM CEST, July 20, 2025). I’ve recently started playing around with single-board computers, like an Orange Pi 5 I set up with Armbian a while back—it’s been a fun challenge! I’m based in Poland and enjoy tinkering with tech in my spare time. I’d love to hear what brings you all here—any cool hobbies or projects you’re working on? I’m thinking of trying something simple like a media server or smart home setup, but I’m open to ideas. What do you enjoy doing with your SBCs or other gear? Looking forward to chatting with you!

Thanks! My opi zero 2w was intermittently crashing, I think I bumped a component off soldering the pin header on, so I am going to get a new one and see if it does any better. Will update in a few days once it arrives.

@psygnosis Do you have any heat sink or other cooling on your orangepione? Is your environment hot? At idle (480MHz) your machine is running quite hot, over 55 deg. The idle cpu speed is the minimum that the os can manage and so the os it doing the best it can.

Ok, thank you! I've made an issue on github: https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/8403

You will have to uninstall the upstream wireguard as that will remove the dependancy on the non-armbian kernel.

Accidentally included a duplicate in the previous post's image. Here is the missing SBC...I note this one has 32gb of ram vs the other's 16gb.

works great for me in productive environment for 2+ years

I am Running Armbian 24.5.1 Jammy with Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx on Radxa Rock5b (and it works great!!) when running sudo apt dist-upgrade or sudo apt upgrade I get Die folgenden Pakete sind zurückgehalten worden: armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b " Packages retained" apt list --installed | grep armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b gives: armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b-legacy/jammy,now 24.5.1 arm64 [installiert] armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b/jammy,now 24.5.1 arm64 [Installiert,aktualisierbar auf: 25.5.1] ## installed, can be updated can/shall I force the the use of "armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b/jammy,now 24.5.1 arm64 [Installiert,aktualisierbar auf: 25.5.1]" ? how? what is the correct procedure to update to 25.5.x? thanks

all those things are wow give kodi a try? https://kodi.tv/

It is documented there: So when booted from SD you need to copy over the u-boot image to SD card and do from there: dd if=cubie_a5e_spi_nor_raw_050624.img of=/dev/mtdblock0 But that won't you get NVMe support on Armbian as Cubie A5E NVMe support just isn't in the kernel, not even the dev version.

I assume you didn't change your power supply or add more things to USB? This could trigger crash. It would help if you could catch the crash. Enable more verbosity (loglevel) might give some clues, otherwise this can represent more serious debug / not easy to catch and resolve.

I don't have time to work on this right away, so to make sure this does not fall off the radar, I opened a ticket in the tracker.

The Gnome desktop Power off menu selection and `sudo shutdown now` both reboot rather than powering down.

yeah, frustration is quite clear, but probably it is manufacturer who should be most/only interested in that. that also cost quite a lot, so it is probably better to demand where money were paid to, i guess.

That is the expected behavior. You always need to "install" u-boot after a new version from apt. The apt package just provides the binaries that you can install.

Tried rk3318 debian 12 with linux kernel 6.1.63 or up to 6.12.39 and no hdmi output, I installed on SD card. Though debian 11 with kernel 5.15.35 works Interesting thing that debian 12 with linux kernel 6.16.0-rc3 worked Is there anything I can do to provide useful information to debug?

At the same time as mmcblk1 disappeared someone had changed the ethernet port over to the secondary port as I could not get into the machine and tried the second port which had been configured to the same static IP address as the primary port was on.

And it turns out that nothing can be done? For some reason, it works for everyone, but something happened to me and it doesn't work anymore.

use my works: h616.tar.xz

follow the official instructions, change these dts to user overlay, simplicifed deployment just use `sudo make install` h616.tar.xz

Currently I am running HA supervised on Debian 12 bookworm. Debian boots from USB drive without any issue. So your suggestion should work I believe. Thanks for the suggestion. You are quick as always to reply.

This should have been addressed: https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/pull/373 May take a while until an updated kernel is available via apt. You can always build a up-to-date package by yourself using the build framework.
