maybe @schmiedelm has an idea?

@xiaobao80I did manage to get 3.5mm working with the help of ChatGPT. The box is using HT5010. ChatGPT told me to disable the es8388 nodes, but it still works with them enabled. My sai@2a61000 looks like this: My ht5010-sound node looks like this: I got bluetooth working with a hack from the Radxa forums here (creating a shell script and adding it to the root's crontab): I tried to send audio from a TV to the rk3576 box - it did work, but the latency is too much for me. The brown box has beefier cooling than the purple one. I haven't recompiled, used my "stable" image from before to fix the 3.5mm issue, might need to recompile to try the GPU driver. Tried the rkr7.1 dts, but couldn't get it to work (might need additional time to look at it); armbian / linux-rockchip is still at rkr5.1.

I got the display to work! I left out a phandle = <0x01> line in my ili9486@0 section, adding it made it work. DTS was fine otherwise. It's a little glitchy and laggy so I need to tinker with it more, but I see plymouth displaying properly! I can't seem to get into tty or XFCE, but I believe I'm not running wayland and it sounds like thats a requirement for tinydrm? I'll figure it out, but the hard part is over. Once I get everything polished I'll write a summary of my steps so its easy for others to follow. Working DTS for the red ili9488 display using tinydrm driver:

I know of a way to install a specific kernel version: sudo apt install linux-image-edge-sunxi64=25.5.1 --> installs linux 6.14.8 But how do you install specifically linux 6.15.4? Also, have you checked if the newest linux version requires a dtbo to be activated in armbian-config? If you still can: compare the output of lsmod under 6.15.4 and under 6.16.8

Can you try: * activate "analog-codec" within armbian-config * run: sudo apt install alsa-utils * run: alsamixer (text user interface to increase volume by individual output) * basic mp3 player: "sudo apt install mpg123" (instructions for orange pi zero LTS, but it may still work for opiz3) What do you mean by "image became distorted", and "kernel artifacts"? Can you build your own armbian OS with armbian build? (with Linux edge version)

Orima, Ubuntu 22.04 is recommended, but I have no problem installing armbian build in Linux Mint 22.0. I think Debian Trixie in your laptop is too new to have the right requirements and versions for armbian build. You can build Debian Trixie for your orange pi, with no problems. Don't try to fill all the parameters in a single command line. Just download the armbian zip, "git clone" it in a new directory. Then run "./compile.sh". You will be presented with all the text user interfaces to make your board selections, linux and debian versions, etc.

Anyone knows how enable usb 3.0 with Radxa cubie a5e? I found cubie-a5e-enable-usb3.dts from radxa's git but could apply it. Currently I am running 26.2.0-trunk.22.

I'm not sure vulkan is the best solution, RK3588, as most ARM SoCs has a dedicated video engine, vulkan is mainly needed on hardware without dedicated engine, using graphic card to decode, as it's often the case in x86_64 worlld. You can then including it's decoding in vulkan if you want. Don't know wich version of kernel/mesa/video decoder you use. The best, is to remove all dedicated package, and use system one, today, everything work fine with standard linux kernel, as armbian one, standard video tools, rockchip specific libs/video tools was used with rockchip made tools, until everything was mainlined. I don' use VLC, that needs specific libs, but mpv, or several other video players (including firefox one), and everything plays fine.

I dont know how to do that, sorry!

Thanks Robertoj All the documentation for the board is here https://github.com/zharijs/zmxxxp-re But the LCD is not an himax-hx8394. The screen is a "MTF0397SWI-06" using the chip OTM8019A. It just that I am starting from this driver to port the sunxi driver: sl698ph_720p. I will now look at your links.

Tried this with a Ubuntu PC today, and have the same result. lsblk shows one partition.

I followed your tutorial, and it works! I did it with a server image instead. But I was not able to make Wifi work. Did you manage to connect to the Wifi?

Thanks! This fixed the issue!

Hi again, So sorry to have left this hanging, due to lack of time. I have been trying successive updates since posting this, without the issue being resolved, but have now confirmed that this is kernel or device-tree related. Using armbian-config to load kernels, I can say that the problem originated some time between kernel 6.1.104 (02/02/2025) and 6.6.750 (03/02/25). dmesg output looks similar with and without the problem, as does /proc/device-tree, but I can post any specific output here if anyone can suggest what to look for. 6.6.750 keeps the backlight and a noisy/gray screen, while the screen is black (with backlight showing in the corners) with later kernels, suggesting a further change around 6.12 (tbc) Unfortunately I can't see where to find any armbian intermediate kernels / device-trees, so would be very happy if someone could point me at a repo. where they might be available. Failing that I can try to locate kernels from alternative sources, or compile my own, but it would be good if I could keep as much the same as possible (including any Armbian patches and the armbian dt packages.)

Furthermore, today I built an Ubuntu desktop PC, and flashed a build onto an SD Card. The resultant installation has only ONE partition. No Windows involvement whatsoever Same with a USB flash drive (to eliminate the SD card adapter). So where do we go from here?

Thank you! I've been unable to give this a crack over the last couple of days, but I'm hoping to try this weekend. I'll post back here with how I go

FWIW, on my rk3588 devices the NPUs are working with recent mainline releases: [ 5.967316] [drm] Initialized rocket 0.0.0 for rknn on minor 0 [ 5.975499] rocket fdab0000.npu: Rockchip NPU core 0 version: 1179210309 [ 5.978652] rocket fdac0000.npu: Rockchip NPU core 1 version: 1179210309 [ 5.985602] rocket fdad0000.npu: Rockchip NPU core 2 version: 1179210309 This script runs the Mesa example with the latest available working versions: And with this script, the Mesa example runs, with a small adjustment, also with the TFLite successor LiteRT: A MediaPipe sample can also be set up easily: But unfortunately, the MediaPipe framework does not support the extended delegate functionality of LiteRT (TFLite). And therefore no NPU support. classification-3.11-tflite.logclassification-3.13-litert.logobject_detection-3.12-litert.log

you may actually want to extract the dtb file on the android side of the tvbox you have just to get the OS to get recognize that chipset (but may not work due to missing driver).The odds for this kind of tv box to have a working wifi chipset is a lottery, most likely you better off not waste that effort and just buy a USB WiFi dongle instead, at least it works far better than a SDIO based wifi chipset like that.

I'll try. So far, just booting the board did not work. I suppose it does need mainline uboot. Need to figure out this fdt stuff somehow too...

Wonderful.

Yes. We should add `pahole` as a dependency of the linux-headers package, otherwise during headers install, the `.config` is different from the image build, leading to all kinds of sad. While we might fix the future, unfortunately, installing pahole manually (and removing/re-installing the linux-headers package) is the only way forward for versions already out of the door.

@Mayuyu, Here is the download link for the MiniArch-20231112-6.6.2-board-h313.x96_q-SD-Image.img file. It will remain available for 7 days: https://www.transfernow.net/dl/20251204LnfNp5iz

Previously we provided Cinnamon. Which we find out, few days before release, that is broken (beyond quick repair). I just delete already prepared images, nothing else could be done. General problem is that we don't have anyone keeping an eye on desktops. It is vanilla Debian - we only add branding. I personally use Ubuntu LTS Gnome and that's I fix in case something shows up.
