https://libre.computer/products/roc-rk3399-pc/ Can the computer run entirely on free software which is software you can use, share, modify and redistribute? The question includes firmware, microcode, etc, any piece of software that is running on the computer. If some devices on the computer requires non free software in order to work then what devices are they? And will the computer still work if you choose to not install the pieces of non free software in question? Thank you.

For those who want to compile from source: a) locate file ~ /armbian-build-mxpro/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.12/series.conf b) delete the following lines before issuing ./compile.sh: spi-rockchip-Fix-runtime-PM-and-other-issues and spi-fixes c) save the file and proceed to compilation (./compile.sh) Note: if you want to upgrade the Armbian firmware be aware that: linux-dtb-current-sunxi64/trixie 26.5.1 arm64 [upgradable from: 26.02.0-trunk] linux-image-current-sunxi64/trixie 26.5.1 arm64 [upgradable from: 26.02.0-trunk] will render the ethernet interface inoperable. You can prevent this by issuing sudo apt-mark hold armbian-firmware before sudo apt upgrade -y

Is it possible to change the boot order? For my use case, I would like the boot priority to be: eMMC, NVMe, and microSD card. Can this be configured?

I've created a guide here how to run a Home Assistant OS suprisingly it run mostly natively. Didn't do anything except replacing the DTB. Also right away flashed it into a emmc. On my board emmc is from Samsung and has a read speed on 180Mb/s...

Tested orangepi5 current and vendor. works as expected

Known issue on multiple older 64 bit Allwinner socs Try these: https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/incoming/igorpecovnik/pine64/archive/

I'd like to run the mainline kernel https://github.com/nickfox-taterli/avaota-a1-mainline-linux The board used to have a page and downloads here: https://armbian.com/boards/avaota-a1 but it's gone. Has support for this board been dropped?

@Sancho this is amazing! If you have the test image ready I will be really glad to test it out. I have more than 1 iSG Box SE so I can test it on multiple devices.

Ask AI to fix problems at repo level: https://github.com/armbian/supervised-installer so we can all benefit. I don't have capacity to maintain this alone.

I have compiled debian trixie image from the repository of @johlnx for Vontar DQ08 4G+64G and flashed it to eMMC, also adjusting the DTB for wifi GPIOs. Wifi works with the brcm4335 firmware (at least in the 2.4GHz band), usb3.0 works too. Bluetooth does not work and there are still many nasty error messages in the 'dmesg' output.

Proprietary DDR and maskrom images from Rockchip Bare metall should provide DDR init replacement code, the only missing part in u-boot.

I assume you are talking about local connection here, not from the internet, so it's ngiinx webserver you are talking about, not nginx-reverse-proxy? Can you at least ping the ip of the server? Syncing apps might not connect over http or https (or rather, they probably don't), which your browser does. Are you sure letsencrypt works properly and it's not just your browsers refusing to connect over https due to missing/miss-configured ssl certificates? Does forcing http connection at least give you some response? As for using wget to test: "wget --spider <url>" should get you some info. It should look something like this for correct setup using https: (enter url without http or https, I have redacted url and ip for obvious privacy reasons) $ wget --spider <your_url_here> Prepended http:// to '<redacted>' URL transformed to HTTPS due to an HSTS policy Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists. --2026-05-23 14:48:27-- https://<redacted> Loaded CA certificate '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt' Resolving <redacted> (<redacted>)... xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Connecting to <redacted> (<redacted>)|xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|:443... connected.

But as eselarm said above, we need way more information to be able to help.

also check this for kernel 7.0 https://github.com/Mr-DS-ML-85/rtl8188fu/tree/main

Wifi chip?

I have modified the wifi driver for linux kernel 7.0 and backwards compatible https://github.com/Mr-DS-ML-85/rtl8188fu

I am running bookworm on my Odroid HC4, upgraded from buster. USB stopped working, which I believe to be U-Boot related. So I am looking for a newer version of the U-Boot package "linux-u-boot-odroidhc4-current", which is at 26.2.1. I tried to change the apt sources to trixie and apt updated, but apt doesn't offer me a newer package. I am not so keen on compiling it myself, so is there a way of finding/downloading/installing a newer package...?

I bought this board because it has 2 lanes. So I changed the number of lanes in the dtb from 1 to 2. I need confirmation of an expert but my quick speed test with 2 lanes looks promising : gt@yy3568:~$ sudo hdparm -tT --direct /dev/nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p1: Timing O_DIRECT cached reads: 1062 MB in 2.00 seconds = 530.34 MB/sec Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 928 MB in 3.00 seconds = 308.97 MB/sec gt@yy3568:~$ sudo dmesg | grep lane [ 4.183004] phy phy-fe8c0000.phy.6: lane number 0, val 1 [ 4.183679] phy phy-fe8c0000.phy.6: lane number 1, val 2 pcie@fe280000 { compatible = "rockchip,rk3568-pcie"; #address-cells = <0x03>; #size-cells = <0x02>; bus-range = <0x20 0x2f>; clocks = <0x0f 0x8f 0x0f 0x90 0x0f 0x91 0x0f 0x92 0x0f 0x93>; clock-names = "aclk_mst\0aclk_slv\0aclk_dbi\0pclk\0aux"; device_type = "pci"; interrupts = <0x00 0xa5 0x04 0x00 0xa4 0x04 0x00 0xa3 0x04 0x00 0xa2 0x04 0x00 0xa1 0x04>; interrupt-names = "sys\0pmc\0msg\0legacy\0err"; #interrupt-cells = <0x01>; interrupt-map-mask = <0x00 0x00 0x00 0x07>; interrupt-map = <0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01 0xcb 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x02 0xcb 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x03 0xcb 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x04 0xcb 0x03>; linux,pci-domain = <0x02>; num-ib-windows = <0x06>; num-ob-windows = <0x02>; max-link-speed = <0x03>; msi-map = <0x2000 0x66 0x2000 0x1000>; num-lanes = <0x02>; phys = <0xca>; phy-names = "pcie-phy"; power-domains = <0x11 0x0f>; reg = <0x03 0xc0800000 0x00 0x400000 0x00 0xfe280000 0x00 0x10000 0x00 0xf0000000 0x00 0x100000>; ranges = <0x1000000 0x00 0xf0100000 0x00 0xf0100000 0x00 0x100000 0x2000000 0x00 0xf0200000 0x00 0xf0200000 0x00 0x1e00000 0x3000000 0x03 0x80000000 0x03 0x80000000 0x00 0x40000000>; reg-names = "dbi\0apb\0config"; resets = <0x0f 0xc1>; reset-names = "pipe"; status = "okay"; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <0xcc>; reset-gpios = <0x58 0x1e 0x00>; vpcie3v3-supply = <0xcd>; phandle = <0x271>; legacy-interrupt-controller { interrupt-controller; #address-cells = <0x00>; #interrupt-cells = <0x01>; interrupt-parent = <0x01>; interrupts = <0x00 0xa2 0x01>; phandle = <0xcb>; }; };

You'd better upgrade the kernel to 6.18 and keep Debian Bookworm, because Trixie has an mpv version which is not exactly friendly with hardware video decoding because some things are in the middle of a transition

OK, it looks like the BSP PCIe driver might have some issues related to power management. I’m not entirely sure of the root cause yet, but when I connected an NVMe drive, it got extremely hot and failed to initialize properly. The NVMe dmesg output suggested adding the following kernel parameters: nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 pcie_aspm=off This resolved the NVMe issues on my side. I’ll try to dig deeper into the root cause, but @humanus please give it a try as well.

Thank you @greg396 for this sum-up on how to upgrade to 6.12 Since last months, have you experience any issue with this version ? I'm on 6.6.8 based on kernel 23.08.0. Stable so far...

Hi @OverNautt! Sorry not replying in time. Great that you found a solution to your issue and provided feedback!

For mate IIRC they use gnome's gnome-language-selector (start it in a terminal if you are missing the icon in settings), but it was a while since I used that desktop-env so I could be wrong. My old notes says the setting should be in: System > Control Center > Language Support For your information (as a fellow Swedish person): there is a locale called en_DK.UTF-8 that you might want to use instead. That way you get the correct settings for Scandinavian (like date/clock format for example) but the language is English. Or you can probably do it in terminal altogether: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales # select en_DK.UTF-8 here, or whatever locale you want to use, I will use the dk version in this example localectl set-locale LANG=en_DK.UTF-8 sed -i "s/sv_SE/en_DK/" ~/.dmrc

Hello @vlw, Pull latest from build framework, compile and retry, we migrate R76S to use mainline uboot due a issue with uboot vendor. Let's update us.

The issue has been resolved. It turns out that the official release has already configured the necessary documents or files before distribution. When I used im‑config, it gave me no response at all. Following the XDG Autostart manual, I copied /usr/share/applications/org.fcitx.Fcitx5.desktop to ~/.config/autostart; after that, fcitx5 starts automatically and works normally when I reboot or log out and back in. Thanks

@SecLyzer U-Boot can boot from a FAT32 or Linux file system. You can change this in your board configuration file.
