The more SW components you try to let work together in your own systems, the higher the risk something will break as no one else has the same setup. Also if that SW is commercial (and closed-source) things will get worse. Final killer might be external storage like OneDrive, it is not even related to SW actually, just is fundamentally out of your control. If POTUS wants, internet plug is pulled and no access to your data, that, in the mean time can be used for al sorts of purposes you won't benefit from yourself on the longer term. I keep a Windows10 VM around, I had one (upgraded from free Windows Internal test license AFAIR) in VirtualBox, but wanted to move to libvirt/QEMU/KVM as that also works nice for ARM64 and it turned out that the USB extension not always worked (and needed manual install). Also as you noticed, VirtualBox is not in Debian. It was/is? in Opensuse, but with custom kernel module (that is what VMware and VirtualBox need). Now can be based on KVM, but not their defaults and complex as you need to setup/compile? yourself. Windows10 sees another computer when going from VirtualBox to libvirt/QEMU/KVM (with virt-manager as GUI) so I had to buy a new digital license for 20 Euros. I read in september MS will stop delivering updates (unpaid). That day would come of course, so I have a multi-year plan to get rid of Windows (and Google). Windows is almost done. I also have only 1 Intel box running (N100, runs Opensuse Tumbleweed but came pre-installed with Windows11), rest is ARM (or RISC-V or Atmel or Xtensa). Google is more difficult to get rid of, but slowly progressing.

Hi, can anyone help me with this TV box? I need to unlock it, but I don't know where to short the cable because the PC won't connect. Rk3228a, zq01-v1.51

Hi and thanks for the reply I have the device running official armbian at my location (already brought it back) and so I'm trying to figure out a way to "simulate" high latency. Any ideas? Otherwise we'll have to wait a few months so I can place it at it's intended location again. As you can imagine, this is something that's taken a LONG time. Many many months and progress is slow.

So I have made some progress. A linux kernel for this device (based on the Berlin chipset family) exists at https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors. I',m not sure how this piece adds towards creating a functional armbian install tho.

Actually in that post it was about downloading the boot_a partition. Then extracting the dts.. you can skip the dts extraction part for now. We need your boot_a partition. also that’s not the android dts you posted. It has some info but not all of it.

Hello! Asus Tinkerboard is still perfectly supported by Armbian. Best setup is the current LTS kernel 6.12, you can take an image from the official download page: https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/ enjoy!

Thanks c0rnelius, this works.

Thank you for the information I have completed the build dependencies step, for mesa 25.2, in Debian Trixie. However, when I build it, my orange pi zero 3 with 1 GB or RAM, it runs out of memory... even when I make a swap file of 2GB. I keep rebooting the opiz3, and continue the compilation job. Is this normal? In the raspberry forum, they told me that my LCD driver panel-mipi-dbi.ko doesn't work with X11... so I give up on this, and continue my development with labwc/wayland (easily installed in Trixie)

Maybe the mirror isn't good at this time. You can work around by choosing any mirror from this list and add it to your armbian source list: https://docs.armbian.com/Mirrors/

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought does not appear at all anymore but the question was about manual call. Has been answered properly already.

moved to off-topic we dont support 3rd party os.

I'm willing to help guide @Error1429 a bit on how to get this done.

@JuanEsf in case you need testing - I own both OrangePi 4A and Radxa Cubie A5E. So far I tried to build the image from your repo (https://github.com/juanesf/build) - neither board boots for me.

The problem is still occurring with the Armbian Bookworm images using the XFCE interface. I closed the topic last year because all the Le Potato Bookworm images had been archived. However, it is now part of the current desktop images listed on the Le Potato page with Armbian Linux v6.12. I tested the Debian 12 (Bookworm) distribution with the XFCE variant, and the issue seen in the archived images—specifically, the missing firefox.conf file—is still present.

For the sake of future people running across this thread, I switched to Orangepi debian and there the issue was at least partly that I was following the wrong cmake command, and should have used the one for the Rpi 4 64 bit, as well as not having installed libc6-dev-armhf-cross.

Have you tried to start and shut down the service multiple times? How do you implement your hostapd.service? I haven't tried bridging, but the configuration for system services seems to be wrong. It happened multiple times. I tried countless times with the 5.4 kernel and it never failed, even by terminating the process.

Finally got around to working on this again. A friend lent me a Windows machine with a USB-A port and it worked immediately as it should. I was able to see the helios64 machines boot. Machine A (in use so far): Disconnected after starting the kernel. Machine B (my backup unit): worked flawlessly. I took machine B home with me and I'm setting it up as I want it. It's running bookworm with OMV7 now as desired. Next time at the offsite location, I am going to take the HDDs from machine A and insert them into machine B. It's a software RAID that I set up via OMV at the time. I believe I should be able to just mount it in machine B and then set up all the services as they were before (more or less). Then I'll take machine A back with me and see if I can figure out what was wrong with it. I think a new thread will be in order then because the solution was to use a machine with a USB-A port. The use of adapters seems to have been the reason why 'screen' kept malfunctioning. Whether or not it could also be an issue with the OS (i.e. macOS not working well with it), I don't know but I doubt.

If they are warnings like X is not a valid phandle reference then they can be ignored. Correct

Turns out the Armbian option on H3Droid is dependent on extremely old outdated URLs. I’m trying to get into the board structure when h3resc is booted in order to see if I can find the sources list that provides these URLs rn

Has anyone made WiFi adapter MT7601u to work with Rockchip64 as AP? I'm unable to compile the driver. I've tried: https://github.com/muratdemirtas/MT7601u https://github.com/Vyacheslav-S/mt7601u-AP https://github.com/Anthony96922/mt7601u-ap I've installed current headers, build-essential libncurses-dev bison flex libssl-dev libelf-dev. Any help appreciate it.

Hello Vontar kkmax has RAM memory SK Hynix h5anag8najr-wmc - 4 pcs. DDR4-2933. Which DDR_BLOB= and BL31_BLOB= should I choose for this memory? Help me determine the correct size of 8GB

@adron That kernel isn't mainline 6.1 but based off the Rockchip BSP 6.1 kernel.

That is over-optimism for most if not all of those chips - unless additionally cooled. I haven't played with exact this board much, so I am unaware of cooling specific for this board, but this is powerful SoC on a small board + every SoC needs some cooling in order to keep temp low. Do you have a (proper) heat sink? https://blog.armbian.com/stay-cool/ This looks quite normal: ### Boot system health: Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq Tcpu C.St. 01:42:36 1800 MHz 0.30 52% 32% 17% 0% 1% 0% 61.1 °C 0/6 01:42:36 1800 MHz 0.30 35% 8% 26% 0% 0% 0% 59.4 °C 0/6 01:42:37 1800 MHz 0.30 32% 5% 25% 1% 0% 0% 59.4 °C 0/6 01:42:37 1800 MHz 0.30 32% 4% 25% 1% 0% 0% 59.4 °C 0/6 01:42:38 1800 MHz 0.30 30% 4% 25% 0% 0% 0% 59.4 °C 0/6 Also worth mentioning that here we only have Rockchip provided kernel. No modern kernel yet - which usually brings less aggressive performance / voltage settings.

I am using dnsmasq for that purpose
