Where did you hear that ? Note that the 'firmware' package is not updating the EEPROM that's present on a Pi4/Pi5 and I had no booting issues updating the raspi-firmware package on RaspiOS.\ Of course you could make a backup if you want to feel safer, but I have no reason to believe there's anything that's going to cause issues if you're going to upgrade the raspi-firmware package.

Has anybody tried compiling mpv-0.35 + PR14690 within Trixie and ffmpeg 7.x.x? If anyone is curious... mpv-0.37 fails in the compilation step in ad-spdif.c due to an incompatible pointer But mpv-0.38 (without patches) compiles successfully

take note that these functions are done by other repos with specificity using the name Armbian, as an example ophub is (ab)using the name Armbian without permission and they do not contribute to the core development process. Rather they trick users into thinking they get support here and therefore (ab)using our resources. everyone in the community has this as the main feature of a TV box

@Amaliacan you please share the devfmc and armbian image version names/link that you have used to make the box booting? Is sound, wired and wireless networks working for you in this approach? I have a x96 x4 box with S905x4 chipset 4/64 GB model. I am trying to load Armbian. So far Devfmc version boots, network is also working. I am unable to boot into Armbian of any version.

@Tomi Skies It could be your gpio settings. You need to extract your original android dts. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/29794-how-to-install-armbian-in-h618/page/4/#comment-187672

Hi, thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction. Indeed so far I am booting from the SD card. I have erased eMMC with multitool via SSH, as multitool as well is not visible via HDMI. Used the newer images as suggested, same situation: everything works via SSH cmd line, no output on HDMI. Log contains mainly errors as the ones posted above.

Thanks for the answer, @amazingfate! I guess there might be e bug in the driver. Once I have more time (if I have) I will issue a bug report to the kernel devs and will try ti test and send required info. Regards, Tano

I have completed a build for the turing-rk1 SBC with an aim toward getting a functioning graphical console, and possibly installing desktop packages later. I built an image without issue that picked up kernel 6.17.2. git commit: 09160da3b9c1231cf20837e8c857f7e605130449 main branch Command used: ./compile.sh RELEASE=trixie CARD=turing-rk1 BRANCH=edge Image created: Armbian-unofficial_25.11.0-trunk_Turing-rk1_trixie_edge_6.17.2.img When booted, I get an error from dmesg about VOP drivers and HDMI video does not turn on. Is this normal for this board or am I doing something wrong? [ 0.965616] rckchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm:rockchip_drm_platform_probe] *ERROR* No available vop found for display-subsystem. The git commit that introduced this board in Armbian does appear to include GPU support, though I'm not really sure if that means the HDMI output should be working. https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/d564431dc2e2a16dff8d21391603702b43de06b1#diff-1d2956e936e3a376577f803ce53091b41ed47e906602165217f78912496eac63 Maybe I need to build w/ kernel 6.11.x to enable GPU support with these patches? Can someone clarify?

Any news around here? I'm trying to communicate an OrangePi Zero 2W with an MKS SGEN L by Serial connection and there's no way.

I was able to extend, thanks everyone for the support. I attached my final dts, I also changed from spi4 to spi1, because I double check the pinount and spi4 is not mapped. In the original pinout armbian spi1 = orange pi 5 pro spi4. rk3588s-spi1-5cs-spidev.dts

Thanks for your sharing! While I was trying to perform the upgrade for a Pine64, I happily notice that the latest release of armbian-config actually have an option for the distro upgrade. By following the wizard, Debian was upgrade to trixie.

Hi, difficult task since there is no support for the whole chip family in the framework yet, but first steps are here:https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8364 I suggest to start by getting familiar with the framework and how the mentioned pending pr it put together. moved

Hello! I have an RPi5 8GB board that I bought off of AliExpress, along with a Waveshare PoE M.2 HAT+ ( https://www.waveshare.com/poe-m.2-hat-plus-b.htm ) Initially I tried to use the Noble XFCE image, by following the recommended installation procedure via rpi-imager via a USB drive, hoping to install the system to a Toshiba (Kioxia) NVMe drive. The RPI5 was connected to a CrowView Note. What I saw was that the firmware loaded up the necessary files from the USB drive (then later the micro-SD card), and the initramfs loaded up too, then systemd started up, and probably when the screen usually goes blank for a short time (probably switching to KMS), here, the signal completely drops, and apparently nothing happens. (The messages scroll too fast, and then disappear, and I can't make out anything from the screen content.) I tried looking on the network to see whether the RPi5 comes up at all, but no. Since then, I tried to eliminate elements from my setup to see whether that makes any difference: I removed the Waveshare HAT Swtiched to using a micro-SD card instead of the USB thumb drive Tried to boot it without the CrowView Note Tried using the Noble Server image to eliminate any possible problems with the graphical UI but none of these helped. I now have the bare RPi5 with an active heatsink, and it's still not booting properly. What should I try? Should I try to get serial console working so that I at least see the boot messages? Is there an activity LED on the RPI5 where I could at least configure a heartbeat so that I could check whether the OS is alive at all? Since the OS can't be installed, I can't really submit much diagnostic information.

The way the Debian .iso installer does it: sudo apt-get -o APT::Install-Recommends="true" install task-lxqt-desktop That will install a fully functional desktop with a minimal set of applications. If you set Install-Recommends to false, or any other way of installing it (i.e. lxqt), in my experience, the result may not be quite functional.

@remlei I'did uploading this imagem, is minimal, i hope help you! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1esroAyxq2D2kJ5XPB2_pofQ473B-h1_S/view

Dont write that "fbi works correctly", when it is not. The display remains white, and the kernel doesn't show any errors. * Re-check your wiring * Disconnect the touch part of the LCD pins * Try reversing the polarity: dc-gpios = <&pio 2 6 1>; << change the 1 to 0 reset-gpios = <&pio 2 9 1>; << change the 1 to 0 If the CPU is successful sending the reset signal, the data/command, the chip select and any bytes through SPI, at least the LCD should turn black.

I know this is older, but you need fping6 as well. See inside my install script for Zabbix server https://github.com/sgjava/install-zabbix/blob/589abd9527b1dbd505776a4c80afe8e515aef878/scripts/install.sh#L210

I can provide you the vmlinuz and uInitrd 5.10.43, if that helps. You should be able to put them on your SD card. Don't know of the newer userland can handle that old kernel, but at least you should be able to see the kernel log, to rule out hardware or u-boot problems.

I simply don't need or want a desktop or anything with icons. I do use a few things on occasion that have toolbars like libre office or krita, gimp, ink scape, and kicad. But otherwise I have no use for all that mess of desktop window management and mousing. Xfce is ok for a half day of installing stuff. But otherwise I have no use for that stuff.

due to network limitations， how to compile Ubuntu 22.04 Gnome OS image in offline mode, build.sh need to download many debs，can I download them in advance，then install them locally. I have already downloaded kernel and uboot.

need help regarding wifi, i tried different server img and found no working wifi, should i just install armbian full or keep searching,,,,,plus is latest recommended or older versions......my device is 1gb ram with 8 rom, it may sound cheap, but i got this piece for free just tryin to repurpose it rather than getting a pi, i need it only for klipper, i got no lan ports left(lan ports are filled with different uses), only wifi, or should i just give up

Thank you so much for your help and explaining how it should work! I tried all the cores that you ordered - it only worked on this: #unnamed -a Linux orangepi5-plus 6.16.4-edge-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 28 14:34:51 UTC 2025 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux I put it like this: @apt install linux-image-edge-rockchip64 linux-headers-edge-rockchip64 The old cores were not suitable because the wifi card 0002:21:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp.
