@prahal - I tried a number of those images but none worked. With RoobiOS I see that all of the blue lights below the SATA ports (i.e. on the underside of the board) light up as blue for a couple of seconds, then they turn off and then they flash twice ... the screen comes on and after a couple of error messages the Installation GUI starts. With the images from the links you provided, I don't get the blue lights (although I do get a yellow network link light). However ... in RoobiOS I'm given the option of various images to install ... including the option for "custom" - I've selected that and entered https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/incoming/prahal/rock-5-itx/archive/Armbian_25.8.1_Rock-5-itx_bookworm_current_6.12.41_minimal.img.xz This gives a circle (of death?!) and "Loading ..." in RoobiOS but I see there's flashing green light on the ethernet port - which suggests that there's activity so maybe it's just a slow download?

Wifi chip model?

... straightforward and smooth.

With linux 6.12 the optimizations in /etc/rc.local do not apply anymore since some configuration options have vanished. So if you like to have a stable 2.5Gbit/s network connection without timeouts, linux-6.6 is still recommended (bookworm and trixie). You can build it yourself using an Armbian snapshot (from Dec. 2024) or download a recent linux-6.6.100 from here.

Hi, i want to try the Gnome on Armbian with my Raspberry Setup. Pi5 with Touchdisplay2. The Display is working but without touch input. I looked through the /boot/firmware/config.txt and everything looks fine. I also tried to run Gnome on Xorg. Has someone a hint for me?

Armbian is a stable OS, but we don't know about what SD-card, power-supply etc you use with your Cubitruck and/or NanoPi Neo+2 The decompression error can simply mean corrupt file due to something wrong with HW. Or something could have gone wrong during download of the files that you or the system decompress. Also note you use a kernel from beta repo (25.11.0-trunk.41). I you want better control, create/build an image formatted as Btrfs, not Ext4. Then you can check where it went wrong. I have several NanoPi-NEOs, all use Btrfs. 2 run 24/7, the others not all the time and usually just get sudden power cut, but they start fine next time. I do in-place upgrade them since years. If something would go wrong, typically as the error you show, I go back to a previous Btrfs snapshot or/and backup from NAS. That is simply what you could do / have done. Maybe something went wrong with that sunxi64 kernel build on the Armbian infrastructure side, that can happen every now and then as it is beta. So Also then, protect your devices again such issues. Also please don't post kernel upgrade errors in a topic about LiPo controller chip. OK for now, but annoying

Try this image https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/download/20250306/Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X98h_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz

Try to upload the old and new driver to an AI with you overlay included. Here it gives some suggestions for what you can try. The power sequence seems to be changed with the new driver and it might be too fast for your display. It suggests to put some parameters in the overlay to delay some parts, with higher chance with the first 3: Under "dsi0_panel: panel@0 {" prepare-delay-ms = <120>; reset-delay-ms = <50>; init-delay-ms = <150>; enable-delay-ms = <50>; disable-delay-ms = <50>; unprepare-delay-ms = <120>;

https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8517 appears to fix my SFP problems.

I'm trying to install Armbian on the Tanix Tx1 Soc Allwinner H313 Mini TV Box, but this box doesn't have an SD card slot. How do I install Armbian on this box without an SD card?

@schunckt Yes, I should have clarified that drm-copy is an argument is for MPV, which according to the guide mentioned above should allow the frame-buffer to be accessed directly. It is worth noting that mpv makes use of ffmpeg under the hood. Tried with ffplay once but did not have much luck with it. last I checked VLC is not supported other than the legacy vaapi. Please see: https://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-Cedrus You can use the sample media from linaro: https://samplemedia.linaro.org/ Just to check are you using the ffmpeg-v4l2-request?

v25.8.1 for Rock 5B Plus running Armbian Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx

Hello everyone! Could you help find image for x96q v.5.1. which have stable wifi and ethernet?!

That's exactly what I did. I wrote a replacement for the .not_logged_in_yet file in my customize-image.sh with pre-set parameters, just like I create /root/provisioning.sh. I was just wondering if there were any other ways to do this.

.....

Device: Orange Pi 5 Plus DE: KDE-Neon Kernel: 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx Last Friday, reported after updating KDE-Neon, it no longer boot up to KDE Plasma desktop successfully. After today's system update (using tty), reboot and it boot up successfully to KDE Plasma desktop.

Hey, thanks for the reply. So there's actually no VAAPI driver available? Just OpenCL? Also, what is the recommended image for this?

MOD: Your attitude of taking but not contributing and being abrasive is not welcome here. You received a warning now and will be unable to post to this forum for a few days. You were warned by several people many times before. If you still don't get the message and do not change course, expect to be blocked completely from Armbian. Be constructive, contribute or be gone.

@jock @MattWestB thank you for you help! Sorry for the late reply. Im did update the dtb files jock said, and usb 3.0 work better now, but not as stable as 100%. Sometimes it still hang on reboot unless i disconnect the device on usb 3.0 port and re-insert power for complete reboot and booting, and sometimes it boot without recognise the device on usb 3.0 port. And sometimes the WiFi drop connection and reconnect repeatedly many times without dmesg errors, and need manual reboot. So maybe im just unlucky getting the bad batch of H96 Max. Due to the needed of stability, especially with the usb port, i switching to Dell Wyse 3040 for now. It's was fun playing with armbian and rockchip. Thank you for your contribution @jock 🥰

Hey phoenix 0025m bro. My Tx3 Mini motherboard is same as yours. Did you have any success installing custom rom on it?

no worries! and that is even when you try some of the suggestions from https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/609438/how-can-i-use-a-usb-keyboard-or-mouse-to-wake-from-suspend which I linked above?
