Had to debootstrap trixie because depmod version mismatch. Wifi 2.4 + 5 GHz + BT headphones, keyboards all work. USB is still stuck in plain charge, no micro SD. According to Gemini 3.1 Pro which I have been using, Imagination Technologies (PowerVR) BXM-4-64 MC1 would need 6.12.x kernel or newer which I have not been able to boot yet. This actually feels a bit faster than the Teclast Android even though without accel youtubes playback is quite slow. Battery life probably 5+ hours. aliexpress.com/item/1005009649297050.html keyboard + touchpad I have is a bit shady miss-clicks a bit once in a while. Might have to AI haxor some software filter to get it behave a bit better but that should not be that big of a deal. I have kind of already made up my mind, this ain't going to boot Android anymore, have to see if I grab another one at some point.

Thanks for doing this @ebin-dev. Any tips on how to load the alternate dtb if the hardware is so unstable that it won't even boot to the shell; I'm using 26.2.1 / 6.18.15 ?

Just a small note here - I recently added Bianbu desktop (can be installed from armbian-config), where acceleration works on K1 based Musebook (legacy kernel). This should be possible to adopt to any other K1 board. Youtube video works fine in Chromium ...

"mmc1(part 0) is current device". Is that really a usb? Never seen a usb be named that, sound more like an internal storage.

The MLIR pipeline, lowering from TOSA to TIM-VX C++, is now available here: https://github.com/MaverickLong/MLIR-TIM-VX It's *kinda* working, currently only supports conv2d (image processing) CNN models or simple MLPs, and it's far from mature, so expect a lot of errors. With this (plus the unified driver) we are heading towards running any ML model on the NPU...

Ubuntu 26.04 with or without KDE Plasma with working drivers for WiFi, GPU, Nic, Bluetooth. Enjoy! https://github.com/mack42/OrangePi5Pro Note: There are Minimal and Graphical images available. It also supports installing to the NVME.

Thank you very much for your responses, it totally make sense. I will try to build it myself, tho I have never done that, and my knowledge is very limited. I'd love to help one day, but this really is beyond what I can offer, for now.

Well if you want to live on the edge, then use code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } egde as branch instead of code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } current

I have also encountered this using Orange pi 5 and latest Armbian updated as of today. That the "standing" USB port does not work also means that the USB-C port doesn't work -- they are electrically connected. So Mitu's question is also mine: Is this a limitation of the mainstream kernel (6.18.x) - i.e. does this work only with the vendor kernel (6.1.x)? EDIT: typo

Update: sicXnull/armbian-build (H96q) + "+CONFIG_SPL_IMAGE_TYPE_SUNXI_TOC0=y" and "secure-boot.patch" solved the problem. Now, the ethernet interface is fully functional. Thank you Nick & sicXnull.

Has anyone found a working gpiolib implementation for Armbian on Orange Pi 5? I'm aware of wiringPi and it sort of works. However, being able to use the "real stuff" so to speak would make my life easier.

I am not using WOL on any of my devices, I have no personal experience with the software on the Helios or any other platform.

Hi @Ross Cawston I've been using your patch for a few months on Orange Pi 5 Plus/Max SBCs with Linux kernels from 6.19 to 7.0.3 and it works well encoding H.264 streams (didn't try H.265, though) Thank you for your contribution. There's still no support for `rkvenc` in edge kernels (as of 7.1rc2).

This week's work centers on release pipeline modernization, desktop and userland refinements, and board and kernel platform maintenance. On the release and CI side, the build matrix gained codename parameterisation with Ubuntu 26.04 "resolute" set as default, a dedicated Bianbu target, and exposed map overrides, while standard-support targets now include UEFI desktops and a plain cloud variant. The KDE fast-HDMI matrix was switched from kde-neon to kde-plasma, mesa-vpu was dropped from auto-attached extensions, and external CI now skips slots with a warning when upstream sources break. Supporting fixes route forky/loong64 base-files lookups to the main archive and add AI cover image generation to the blog workflow. Desktop and userland changes focus on the Bianbu environment, where PVR DRI was enabled, detection corrected, menu entries added, systemd suspend re-enabled on K1, and gnome-initial-setup purged post-install. Broader fixes pass --allow-downgrades on pinned package installs, align LAN/WAN labels across IPv4 and IPv6 rows in the MOTD, harden console-width handling against invalid COLUMNS values, and correct output to /etc/armbian-image-release. Platform support sees explicit ARCH=arm64 declarations on five inheriting boards, validate-board-config now following inheritance from ${SRC}/config/boards, and targeted fixes for imx8m binman hooks and rockchip family tweaks under forky (addgroup → groupadd). Kernel and DTS work restores 6.18.y on sm8550, syncs CAINIAO CNIoT-CORE DTS from 6.18 to 6.12, disables broken drm/xe patches under uefi-loong64-7.0, and improves the SMART AM40 and Retroid Pocket board definitions.

You aren't telling us much, like what software you are using. I would expect you to need to give it something like smb://10.10.2.101/NAME_OF_SHARE/ or sftp://10.10.2.101:/path/to/folder You will also need to give it a username and password somehow. But first; have you checked you can reach it on the network?

On my Debian13 VM that I use to build images for my boards, I have started to notice new errors that I have not seen before after this part of the logs... [🐳|🌱] After updating and cleaning image apt list cache [ 30 files ] [🐳|🌱] Image installed package hash [ ✅ base-files = 1-trixie-1armbian1-Bb095-U13.8--deb13u4-R55fa ] [🐳|🌱] Image installed package hash [ ✅ linux-image-current-rockchip64 = 6.18.26-S1fe0-Dedd0-P1f35-Cc077-H8200-HK01ba-Vc222-Bed86-R448a ] [🐳|🌱] Image installed package hash [ ✅ armbian-firmware = 1-SAa38b-B96c8-R448a ] [🐳|🌱] Image installed package hash [ ✅ armbian-bsp-cli-rockpro64-current = 1-PC1e15-V9ab0-H3400-Bd2e9-Rf36a ] [🐳|🌱] Image installed package hash [ ✅ linux-u-boot-rockpro64-current = 2025.01-S6d41-P6e2c-Hbf76-V6f3c-Be4e9-R448a ] [🐳|🌱] Image installed package hash [ ✅ linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 = 6.18.26-S1fe0-Dedd0-P1f35-Cc077-H8200-HK01ba-Vc222-Bed86-R448a ] [🐳|🔨] removed '/armbian/.tmp/rootfs-no-uuidgen-yet-15898-49210/etc/resolv.conf' [🐳|🔨] removed '/armbian/.tmp/rootfs-no-uuidgen-yet-15898-49210/sbin/initctl' [🐳|🔨] removed '/armbian/.tmp/rootfs-no-uuidgen-yet-15898-49210/sbin/start-stop-daemon' [🐳|🔨] removed '/armbian/.tmp/rootfs-no-uuidgen-yet-15898-49210/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d' [🐳|🌱] Removing qemu-user-static binary from chroot [ qemu-aarch64-static during image ] [🐳|🔨] removed '/armbian/.tmp/rootfs-no-uuidgen-yet-15898-49210/usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static' [🐳|🌱] Unmounting [ /armbian/.tmp/rootfs-no-uuidgen-yet-15898-49210 ] Once the unmounting of rootfs-nouuidgen-yet begins I notice the following errors spam in the logs, 1000+ lines, and finally the target unmounts successfully and the image finishes building.

Is there a way to adjust some kind of timeout for this to prevent the massive amount of "target is busy" outputs in the logs? Thank you for any help or insights!

I don't own that box so I can only give you generic help. You really would need to hook up a usb-uart adapter to access the uboot debug output to see what is happening. The second thing I would say is that I have no idea what ophub builds do as they are not Armbian builds, ophub is a fork, they don't contribute to Armbian development nor do they participate in these forums. So per the Armbian amlogic TV box instructions, the boot environment must be a clean android boot environment. Installing or running any other distribution may cause Armbian to not boot. So I'd recommend either reinstalling a clean Android image to test from, or investigate any differences in boot scripts to see what might be going on. But again getting access to the new boot serial console would help a lot.

Hi Everyone! I'm trying to install it on a TV Box with an Allwinner IK316 SOC and a NANYA 1303 eMMC, but Armbian can't find the eMMC at all... has anyone found a solution for this NAND?

Has anyone installed Waydroid on Armbian 26.2.4? Are there any manual for this?
