More information is needed. What armbian release do you use? How did you install fcitx5? Have you followed the instructions on their wiki? https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Setup_Fcitx_5 Or read the FAQ? https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/FAQ Are you using a chromium based browser?

Why this board, the orange pi 4 Pro, isn't supported?

Thank you for quick reply! So if I get it right there is no working fix for the issue now?

Are you using the rolling release? Otherwise you should not use "full-upgrade" but rather just "upgrade". Not saying that is the reason for missing deps, but it definitely could be.

@Giunti & @samlevy0515 It would be helpful to the community if you responded to the developer trying to fix this issue rather than state a workaround. Thank you.

Did you try Yamagi Quake 2 with OpenGL ES1? A developer optimized it, and I assume it will also be a lot faster on a PBP, but it might be that certain mods don't work with GLES1. You have to build it like this: make -j4 WITH_SDL3=no with_gles1 Select OpenGL ES1 in the Video Settings. If you don't see blood particles (or they are squares), go to the game console and disable a certain module: gl1_pointparameters 0 Restart the game and have fun!

R76S migrated to use only uboot mainline, tested on real hardware, wait the next releases that's at the end of this month.

Collabora is proud to share that we've partnered with Flipper Devices to work together on building an open Linux platform for hardware hackers. The long-awaited Flipper One will be built on the Rockchip RK3576! View the full article

Got the same board running Armbian with ChatGPT. Because we performed a lot of experiments, here are summary of how we actually got it running tl.tr: upgrade_tool is wonderful, but running it on my board destroyed everything and I had to recover from backups. We backuped board completely, then intentionally corrupted android bootloader from adb and managed to get U-Boot running via modification of boot.scr Here is a chat-gpt generated summary:

To help others, here is the solution to my problem: I downloaded some firmware versions available here (https://xdaforums.com/t/help-with-a-s805x-box-official-firmware-update-borked-it.4646963/post-89791881) and used Android's Recovery mode to return the version. I clicked on "Apply update from" and used the .zip file for this. With this, the restart loop problems were resolved and now I can run Armbian directly from the pendrive. I'm trying to install it directly on the eMMC and I hope it works, I'll come back here with news.

Hello everyone , i tried flashing the slimboxtv using phoenix app , but failed in the middle of it and the device wont boot and wont go into bootloader mode anymore . Driver was installed successfully , but what i did that was not mentioned on the tutorial was plugging the usb cable after the power cable whipe holding the reset button as it didnt detect it via usb cable alone . Any way to unbrick ? Anyhelp would be appreciated

Orangepi4pro is pure shit. A lot of marketing and no support at all. No driver to install nvme, I ruined the SPI trying to install Assist, and now I have a unuseful expensive brick.

Yes. I just came to armbian-config and there I select en_US as default, but it does not change Mate to en_US. It change are only on cli.

@iav Thank you for the detailed reponse. I was not blaming the overlay or your build; I know the cpu voltages don't impact on this seperate issue. I have seen this before with the 6.18 kernel on the Helios64 which is why for the moment I am sticking with the 6.12 kernel with the opp microvolt patch which seems to be stable for me at least. I assume something has changed in the underlying PCIe architecture or drivers between 25.11.2 with 6.12.58 and 26.5.0 with 6.18.30 which results in this issue on my hardware. It is interesting that the build works on your hardware though. I will investigate the PCIe issue further when time allows and raise a issue.

Unfortunately "apt-file" stopped working for packages in the Armbian repos, which seems to be due to the absence of "Contents" files. Can this please be fixed, or is it intentional for some reason?

1. https://github.com/apritzel/sunxi-fw 2. "adb reboot bootloader" takes you to fastboot if android boots up, "fastboot" if you are at u-boot terminal. See help for list of u-boot commands, I do not know that much about it but you can feed the list to AI and see if something useful comes up. So to get acceleration we need to pull at least 6.12.x kernel from raxda a7a a7s a7z to get video acceleration going, maybe like https://github.com/radxa-build/radxa-a733/releases

This device is currently an outcast here, and until someone with understanding sets out to fix at least the main problems, welcome to the official image on the 5.15 kernel.

Hello @jock, thank you for the quick reply! Indeed, the drivers for the 8723cs have been disabled in the rockchip64 version, as confirmed by my config file: grep -i "8723" /boot/config-$(uname -r) # CONFIG_RTL8723CS is not set # CONFIG_RTW88_8723CS is not set I found 2 GitHub repos with the uncompiled drivers for the 8723cs chipset: - https://github.com/VictorIstratii151/rtl8703bs_rtl8723cs_linux_driver - https://github.com/TinkerBoard-Android/rockchip-android-external-wifi_driver/tree/android14-rockchip I tried to compile them natively on my machine but without success. They relies on Android-specific headers that are missing in Armbian. Regarding the rockchip armhf family you mentioned, do I need to completely reinstall Armbian on my board using a different image (the 32-bit armhf one)? Do I have to use the Armbian build framework to achieve this? Or is there a way/tool to cross-compile this specific module for my current 64-bit setup? Thanks again for your help!

@Delutto Thank you for your contribution! Your changes have been successfully merged to my repo https://github.com/cdhigh/armbian_sv6256p Now the driver should work with kernels from 6.0 through 7.x.

Hello everyone. I made a direct connection between the 5V from the motherboard and the 5V from the USB ports to try and overcome the current limitation of the USB ports. However, something went wrong. I undid this direct connection, but the motherboard is still shorting the USB ports. I believe the short circuit is in that ADG3T port. Does anyone have any idea what happened? I didn't even connect anything to the USB port. Thanks.

When I ask multiple questions, it is for a reason. When you don't answer all of the questions, then I can't help you as I have to guess. So here is a guess, that you are burning the SD card on Windows. I have seen reports that on some versions of Windows, that windows will automount the FAT partition on the SD card after burning, and when it mounts it it alters it in ways that cause problems. I haven't spent any time looking into that issue, but because of what I have seen repored, I would avoid doing the burn on windows. Please try it on a linux box. As for recommended burning tool, you should follow the Armbian documentation (https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started) and use Armbian Imager.

This week's work advances on three fronts: kernel and bleedingedge alignment across Rockchip and Sunxi trees, board and platform enablement spanning RV1106 to SpacemiT, and CI hardening with self-hosted runner maintenance. On the kernel side, bleedingedge was bumped to 7.1-rc3, accompanied by cfg80211 API fixes and re-enablement of the rtl8189fs and rtl8852bs drivers for the new release. Both the rockchip64 and sunxi patch stacks for current and edge were rewritten, an upstream ptrace fix for CVE-2026-46333 was backported to linux-rockchip, and the odroidxu4-current kernel moved to 6.6.139. Platform enablement was broad. The Ayn Odin2 gained 7.0 kernel support, the Mekotronics R58X-Pro switched its vendor build to mainline U-Boot with a corrected LCD driver, and the H96 TV box advanced to U-Boot v2026.04. RV1106 transitioned from extlinux to a bootscript and gained DS1307, PCF85063, and RV8803 RTC drivers, while SpacemiT received OpenSBI, U-Boot, and BPI-F3 DTS fixups. Smaller but user-visible improvements include NanoPi M5 second USB3 port exposure via DRD0 host-mode pinning, NORCO EMB-3531 LPDDR4X variants, RK3528 USB2 PHY corrections for high-speed NCM, and UEFI x86 images enabling iwlwifi MLD and Intel SOF audio for MTL, LNL, and PTL. Infrastructure work centered on self-hosted runner reliability and supply-chain hygiene. A new runner-cleanup module provides hourly disk and memory maintenance, skips busy runners, and ships via .deb, while a maintenance watchdog was added to the SDK repository. Multiple StepSecurity hardening passes landed across build and SDK workflows, though an overly strict egress-policy was subsequently reverted after breaking builds. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #Rockchip #RISCV #KernelDevelopment ChangesActions: Cleanup "Release" workflow. by @vidplace7 in armbian/MorseMicro-DKMS#4Actions: Create release workflow. by @vidplace7 in armbian/MorseMicro-DKMS#3Ayn Odin2 kernel 7.0 support. by @kasimling in armbian/build#9706Build for riscv64. by @vidplace7 in armbian/MorseMicro-DKMS#5Bump actions/download-artifact from 7 to 8. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os#464Bump versions: stable 26.5.0, nightly 26.8.0-trunk.1. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os#461bump bleedingedge to 7.1-rc3. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#9806cfg80211: fix API changes for Linux 7.1. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/wifi-rtl8852bs#5change recomputer rk35xx fan speed. by @ackPeng in armbian/linux-rockchip#472ci: add maintenance watchdog + rename action.yml → build-armbian-sdk.yml. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/sdk#25ci: drop step-security/harden-runner steps (egress-policy was breaking builds). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/sdk#26desktops: ship fprintd userspace at mid tier. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#918desktops: split light/dark wallpapers in gnome + bianbu postinsts. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#905Disable: SpacemiT: fix RX DMA params not set when TX is running. by @pyavitz in armbian/build#9808drivers_network: bump rtl8852bs commit ref to 35d3e266 (May 17). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9841drop old lcd_vk2c21 LCD driver that never worked;

I failed to flash the firmware of my TV box and it's now bricked. I need to re-flash it. Please tell me where the shorting point of this TV box is and how to flash it using the shorting point. Thank you.
