Strange thing is that on Armbian Trixie (arm64), if I do 'apt install wireguard', I get as dependencies: linux-image-6.12.48+deb13-rt-arm64 linux-image-rt-arm64 wireguard-tools On vanilla Debian Tixie (arm64), only wireguard-tools Even if I remove/disable all armbian sources, same problem. Anyway the fix/cleanup that works for me (RK3588 platform): apt purge linux-image-6.12.48+deb13-rt-arm64 linux-image-rt-arm64 apt-mark manual wireguard-tools

@Ducdanh Nguyen, I don't understand how you could use electrical (insulation?) tape to connect to test points... Nevertheless, all you need is a good electrical contact between wires and test points. Means has no matter. Beware: signal levels is 3.3V. Do not connect directly to RS232 interface! What about flashing my modified update.zip - don't worry. It doesn't alter partition table, bootloader and backup partition. If something goes wrong, or you just want original firmware back - just connect power while holding button near "A/V" jack. This will start reflashing using your original update.zip, located in backup partition. If you want to extract your original update.zip from backup partition, simplest way to do this is using uart. Connect uart to pc, boot tv box normally, open serial port on pc (115200/8/n/1), issue 'su' command, mount /backup and copy /backup/update.zip anywhere you want. About laptop - I don't understand, how it's related to this discussion... If you want to compile armbian using it - go ahead. It doesn't matter what cpu architecture or type of memory it uses. All you need is correct toolchain, which suits our tv box SoC.

I think I messed something up in the system, maybe with the repositories, but I get this message when updating... apt update Stary:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease Stary:2 http://security.debian.org bookworm-security InRelease Stary:3 https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm InRelease Stary:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates InRelease Stary:5 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports InRelease Stary:6 https://dtcooper.github.io/raspotify raspotify InRelease Stary:7 https://github.armbian.com/configng stable InRelease Stary:8 http://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/beta bookworm InRelease Czytanie list pakietów...

Armbian Version: 6.12.56-current-rockchip64 TV Box: I have same board that is mentioned at this post. Issue: using the .dts mentioned in the above link I am able to see the clock with blinking separator. However I am not seeing the disk activity or LAN connections icon. If I am using devicetree changed to rk1188-box-led-conf-5, I can see the disk blinking icon and LAN connection, however the clock is not visible. Is there anyway I can get the clock as well the icons? Can you share the steps or the post that has the solution to this?

When I first flashed your latest image, the USB2 port did not work, only the blue port works. I then applied this overlay and after rebooting it now works. USB3 speed is still not functional. rk3528-x88pro13-usb2ndhost.dts rk3528-x88pro13-usb2ndhost.dtbo

I got interested after reading this thread and ordered an X96Q from AliExpress. The board is marked as V5.1, so I thought it would be straightforward, but after two days of trying, no matter which image I use, it always boots into Android. I tried UART communication, but nothing appeared. I even applied the secure boot patch and built it, just in case, but it still wouldn’t boot. How can I get this machine to boot from an SD card? I’m attaching photos of my board and the extracted DTS for reference. dtb.0.dts

I found a TX box X96 Mini with rk3228 chip and I try to boot with multitool but it is stuck with a red ligh. I try multitool and multitool2, with no success, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong ? Thank you The multitool i used are from here i used balena etcher to burn the image I also try to short pins on eMMc (around 45 times...) but nothing works from me. Now i order a male-male cable on amazon. edit: added front/left photos

It sounds very promising for Espressobin usage and further kernels upgrades. It is yet to discover how could your u-boot port be built and which changes to code should be made for espressobin v5 and v7. I believe, they use the same chip. As you have a working build environment already, it would be worth sharing your pre-built binaries for testing in the 1st run. It could be a big step forward. Probably Armbian could offer them for downloads as well as alternatives in parallel with their own builds.

Different soc and even different soc family. This most likely will not work on h618.

This is truly incredible. I had no idea Mali and Linux has come this far. Though it's a shame things aren't mainlined.

Start with this DTS and change the GPIO for your OPIZ3 https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-6.12.y/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/piscreen-overlay.dts Or start with your DTS and change the "compatible" line to "compatible=waveshare,rpi-lcd-35" and copy the other parameters of piscreen-overlay.dts if needed Let us know if it works

Update I have opened the box. Indeed the driver is an FD6551 and the SOC is RK3328. I was using the FD655 just because that was the one used in a working vfd-openvfd conf file. So I have just changed the dtso file directive compatible = "fdhisi,fd6551"; The advantage is that 8 levels of intensity are now available using 1..8 in "echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/display/brightness". I did not chage the filename but as a matter of fact it should be as well the working rk3328-t9.dtso. rk3318-t9.dtso

Any Ubuntu Noble release?

the two tv box are quite different.The rk3318-H50 of this post is quite cheap, so are the component inside. By the way for the rk3318-H50: the PMIC is a DF1517, not an usual one. The Board has three leds (one red is power on always on the other two are both blu but I have never seen them on) and a 4 digit display plus (colon) usb, lan and wlan icons. Wifi works with the base configuration 2 and 5 ghz (although some warnings in the log). Bluetooth is recognized as well. I do not see any message related to the IR receiver. By the way it seems to be quite stable. This is the gpio list: android_tv_box_32:/ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio gpiochip0: GPIOs 0-31, parent: platform/pinctrl, gpio0: gpio-2 ( |vcc_otg_vbus ) out hi gpio-30 ( |vcc_sd ) out hi gpiochip1: GPIOs 32-63, parent: platform/pinctrl, gpio1: gpio-42 ( |bt_default_rts ) out lo gpio-50 ( |reset ) out hi gpio-53 ( |bt_default_poweron ) out hi gpio-56 ( |fd650_scl ) out hi gpio-57 ( |fd650_sda ) out hi gpio-58 ( |bt_default_wake_host) in hi gpiochip2: GPIOs 64-95, parent: platform/pinctrl, gpio2: gpio-81 ( |vcc_host_vbus ) out hi gpio-82 ( |power-led-ir ) out lo gpio-90 ( |power-led-normal ) out lo gpiochip3: GPIOs 96-127, parent: platform/pinctrl, gpio3: The T9 is an old and quite different TVBOX (cames in two flavours rk3318 and rk3328 from Sunwell) and everything is working "out of the box" - wifi, bluetooh, lan, hdmi, ir receiver. It has no leds but a 5 digit display + 6 icons but if you think it would be useful I can open it and peraphs describe it in a different post to avoid confusion. It seems to me that is more widespread as there are configuration files all around. Let me know if it is of ant interest.

Hi all, I just installed Armbian with OpenMediaVault on a Odroid HC4 (v25.8.2 for Odroid HC4 running Armbian Linux 6.12.48-current-meson64), when I tried to disable automatic updates in armbian-config it purged a lot of packages including openmediavault. Guess this is a bug, in case where should I report it?

IS THERE ANYTHING COMPATIBLE FOR S905Y4 VERSION

A service was created to fix the issue, should be this added to official BPI-M7 image? sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/btattach.service sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable btattach.service sudo systemctl status btattach.service sudo systemctl start btattach.service sudo systemctl status btattach.service cat /etc/systemd/system/btattach.service [Unit] Description=Bluetooth UART Attach Service After=network.target Before=bluetooth.service [Service] Type=simple ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/modprobe bluetooth ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/modprobe hci_uart ExecStart=/usr/bin/btattach -B /dev/ttyS6 -P bcm -S 115200 Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Hi, can you confirm that the OLED is working connecting it to another device (raspberry, Arduino)? It should be properly powered, cables should be checked if ok. Also, check in the spec if pull-up resistors are needed. You can force a scan of all i2c addresses again like this: # Force scan all addresses for i in {0..127}; do sudo i2cget -y 1 $i 2>/dev/null && echo "Device found at: 0x$(printf '%02x' $i)" done

Getting video acceleration is realtively easy in bookworm, but making it work in Trixie would be newsworthy

Thanks for the reply! I bought used and had no luck at all getting things running (this was some time ago and things are hazy). Have you written up your experience anywhere I could look at? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, if you compile your kernel with "CONFIG_SUN55I_PCK600" set, you'll have the second ethernet port. But you'll loose the wifi adapter, just like in the trunk.129.

I am in the process of installing Armbian on the X88pro13 TV box, which has the RK3528 CPU. https://github.com/joilg/x88pro wifi and ethernet are working

I followed the "mesa route" without any kind of problem. I cannot following the "libMail route" due to my window manager choice: I installed the Armbian Ubuntu Noble version, but I'm running X Window (not Wayland) in order to get the remote display of the Orange PI Plus running on a local monitor; I tried to do this using Wayland without success. I'im running lightdm and xfce4 now. So the /dev/mail0 is still useful or the mesa-vulkan-drivers are enough ? I read some documentation about the hardware acceleration but in my opinion it is too contradictory. But it is always possible that I'haven't understand anything.....
