Yes, you can completely resize it. You can also turn it to ZFS volume, and boot off of it. Just rebuild u-boot with ZFS support. Or ask, and I will provide patches required to have it.

It is. Before I managed to rebuild u-boot with ZFS support, I had to boot off of EMMC. I shrunk first partition with kernel, initrd etc, and then made another one with actual FS. Temporary solution for me back then. But gave me time to rebuild everything and enable native ZFS boot. Since then, I use EMMC only as a ZFS volume (another one in the mirror is NVME drive). never used armbian-config though - I am old-schooler, so I had to build whole stack myself to get what I wanted.

I am using the same board, and I also experienced this. Sometimes USB is not re-enumerated. Also, if you're using USB-C, sometimes some wires requires you to flip the connector. Basically some makers are cheaping out on cables, and they work only when you flip it. Also, if you'll leave the drive connected and reboot, does it find it? Have you checked u-boot, does it see it? Be aware, that USB-C connector is finicky. I had to replace it (resolder with new, sturdier variant), and then make it concrete-hard to break by solidifying epoxy over and under it (keep connector connected in it, and put some oil on it before plugging it in, so that epoxy won't leak inside it.

Use armbian imager for flashing it, arduino flasher cli is not compatible

Hi @Logan thats probably the reason why your board does not boot from NVME.

current_6.6.99_minimal (desktop build has the snd-usb-audio module)

@Vinicius Guastala Thank you for your feedback. Your patches have already been merged into my repository.

@KhanhDTP are you using esync of wine? NTsync is available on 6.18+ rk3588 kernels. I think that may give a performance improvement.

Of course, you can build an A7S image now as well. There's no display output yet.

Hello I am trying to install armbian on this box (Bqeel U1 Max 4/128G but unable to boot multitool from SD. tried multiple cards and sw (rufus/etcher) does anyone know what could be the reason and how to solve it? I took pics and serial logs also of a successful factory boot. sdfail.txt boot DC.txt

@Sergioclr You don't need patches to edit the kernel config: config/kernel/linux-sunxi64-legacy.config sicxnull already has this patch, but with a different name: drv-pwm-sun50i-h616-enhance-pwm.patch drivers-pwm-Add-pwm-sunxi-enhance-driver-for-h616.patch To add Zero2W Ethernet settings to your DTS, you can create your own patch using git commands: Run ./compile.sh Press Ctrl+C in the middle of the kernel compilation. Navigate to the directory: cd cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.6*/ Use the following commands: sudo git status sudo git add . sudo git commit -m "dummypatch" sudo pico arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h313-x96q-lpddr3.dts sudo git add . sudo git commit -m "Fix Ethernet" sudo git format-patch -1 1 for the first commit (0001-Fix-Ethernet.patch)... 2 for the first and second commit (0002-dummypatch.patch) ) The first "add" and "commit" cleans the kernel of previous patches, leaving you with a clean, patched kernel. The format-patch command will create a patch in the root directory of the kernel. Copy it to your patch directory. For original Armbian kernel patches, you must add them to series.armbian and series.conf.

I have just turned my machines on today and now does the PWM signal on node 3 work, but it is still behaving weird. It is running around 3000 RPM with a pwm1 value of 3, where node 1 need a pwm1 value around 70. The pwm1 was working for 2 hours after that full speed I am currently focusing on fix node 3 (Healthy) which are running the same kernel as node 1 (Healthy) . I checked the dtb files using a sha256sum and that matched on both machines. I did also validate the kernel checksum which also match.

I want to give it a try on MeCool KM6 Deluxe, just started researching.

Thank you for any information... when I have more time I will try with the help of AI... because I don't have enough knowledge myself 🙂 regards

You need to look into github changes then, everything is traceable, but certainly not an easy and quick thing to do.

rk3588-pcie_bifurcation_2x2-uboot.patchrk3588-pcie_bifurcation_2x2.patch Attached are two patches I've prepared. One for uBoot (to correctly recognize split pcie3x4 to two independent controllers, pcie3x4 and pcie3x2), and one for DT of NanoPC T6. This basically allows you to use trimmed-down bifurcation adapter. The adapter in question must be trimmed down/cut to fit on the back of the board. Tested with 2x NVME, and 1xNVME and QCNFA765 wireless card. I'll post photos later once I'll disconnect the board again from my setup. BEWARE!!! If you'd plan to use more than one ath11k wireless card, you'd need QRTR patch. Since the SBL enums changed in recent kernel 6.18.18+, I am also preparing modified kernel patch (originally for OpenWRT by Hauke Mehrtens and Robert Marko) to allow for more than one ath11k wireless to be installed. Will post later with new patch for it. root@ap-voyager:~# lspci -nn 0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd RK3588 [1d87:3588] (rev 01) 0000:01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc QCNFA765 Wireless Network Adapter [17cb:1103] (rev 01) 0001:10:00.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd RK3588 [1d87:3588] (rev 01) 0001:11:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Shenzhen Longsys Electronics Co., Ltd.

thanks, it is settled now, apt-get update behaves normally.

meco any update on this? dual NVME also does not work on non vendor kernels as well as second HDMI port.

Does sway eat a lot of RAM? Can it be used fine in a 640x480 display? I've been staying with my labwc setup, because it's known to be minimalistic. Orange Pi Zero3 and Raspberries with 1GB RAM can run it fluidly.

I updated to my self-build 6.6.135 [1] kernel today. I soft-rebooted, and the issue did not reappear. Hopefully it stays this way. [1] https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9705

Also interested in this. Was able to install using `sudo ./sunxi-fel -p spiflash-write 0 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin`, where the u-boot image came from the Armbian I downloaded (scp'd it off). That makes use of a patch submitted to the sunxi-tools repo (https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools/pull/232), which does actually work. It is quite happy to boot the image from SD card, and runs even when there is no SD card installed, which is great! However, I don't see any SPI or mtdblock messages in dmesg, and naturally, none exist in /dev/. Am I missing something? Or is SPI not enabled currently for some reason?

Upstream support for rk3588 is still wip. For desktop usage I suggest to either try "edge" which may have the feature you want already merged in or try "vendor" kernel which is based on Rockchip BSP.

@DaBo Thanks for sharing this. Are you able to run Armbian on this? Is LAN, HDMI, etc working fine on this?
