@C127I just saw that @whywontitworkmessage and decided to try your image(0.3) directly in the sdcard ( emmc removed ) and that image does not boot. The UART is also stuck in starting kernel as mentioned by @whywontitwork, but I can get the HDMI output and the boot process drops to a initramfs shell because it can not find the root device. This is the console log.

@Igor@amazingfate Can someone look at this issue please ? I am wondering if this is possibly affecting a large number targets or whether its just BananaPi-M7 / rockchip64 ? I have tried on another monitor also and am getting a black screen. On doing an `apt-get upgrade` on ssh terminal I happened to loose by HDMI display. AFAICT It looks like Ubuntu 'backgraded' gnome v46 (in Nobel release, and also in my older unofficial image) to v44. https://armbian.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/AR/issues/AR-2702?jql=project %3D "AR" ORDER BY created DESC

Hi, I'm facing the same issue with my BananaPI-M1 running ARMbian and I have another one bPI-M1 running ArchARM which is suffering exactly for the same issue (bPI is not supposed to be supported but it working pretty well but this HDMI issue and the miss of AXP209 exposition). I'm a bit lost about the current status : is the upstream 6.15 (or upcoming 6.16) already patched/corrected ? @eselarm The link seems dead 🙂

Thanks, I'll pursue with the thread you mentioned.

If you guys want Bionic, I can remove stretch, and link it. You should try to download stretch again, and try a different SD card before anything else.

@re.ADW You can generate and share the "SHA256" hash of the image that was used on your board, please...

Just noticed I was not up to date, I did a armbian-upgrade and still no change. Here is an updated paste : https://paste.armbian.de/loderavavi

Hi Providing logs with PASTE_SERVER_HOST=paste.armbian.de armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

I backuped the boot dir. So I don't need booting from Sd-card, armbian-install will format emmc and copy from where the boot dir? Afterward it moves the system to emmc. If I am running armbian-config there's a message "Warning: The current OS (bookworm) is not supported or not listed" it's the latest version "Armbian 21.02.1 stable 6.12.32-current-rockchip64 (Debian bookworm)" apt-get install armbian-config armbian-config is already the newest version (25.8.0-trunk.330.0708.120916) I can't see any option to install/update system

Balena etcher and rufus burned sd card into small partitions and i cant put there 2.2gb image file how to make multitool partition more then 300mb to fit image there?

@remlei I've tried several different versions of rkdevtool, and I also tried under linux with rkflashtool and with the official rockchip flash tool, it all failed. @Benedito Portela Are you able to flash the original loader back? If so, which file do you use? My rkdumper dump does not seem to have the loader included.

Hi Guillame, github won't let me create a pull request as there is no content. I think you can't create a pull request if there is no code in the repository Kind regards, Mark

Raspberry images are compatible from 3b up to 5b

Hello everyone, I have the same situation. On versions 6.х.х the built-in wifi and bluetooth do not work, but the board is compatible with a 7inch HDMI LCD 1024x600 Pixel monitor. But in kernel versions 5.х.х wifi and bluetooth work, but do not work with a 7inch HDMI LCD monitor. That's how things are, just keep up with the news with new patches or builds.

What wifi do you have? Did you run rk3318-config to configure the device tree overlays for your board properly? The intent of rk3318-config script is to avoid the users tinkering with the DTS, but requires to know the board name printed on the silkscreen of the board itself. The commercial box name, instead, is often useless or misleading.

You're welcome. Checkout its plugins, called 'modules' https://www.webmin.com/cgi-bin/search_third.cgi?modules=1 and https://www.niemueller.de/project/webmin/ but some may be outdated. I haven't installed this but I will soon when I tell myself to stop watching addictive adventure and "challenge" videos on youtube, haha

Hello, would you be able to share the ISO you used along with the modified DTBs? @Aleqssandro Farias

Hi Werner! I'd like to have them, but I have the feeling that my Armbian image and the SPI U-boot won't... (even with the settings enabled, if that's the thing.) On the other hand, I've got the non-verbose startup logs. Tell me what I can do, I'll recompile in due course. 🙂 partial-logs.txt

OK, I did it. USB does not work when uploading a new image.

Oh, that's sad, I didn't realize this, the rk322x cpu datasheet mentions 64bit a lot, I thought it was. Thanks!

I can provide all necessary files,for the linux development for AM9.

Hi @faxe2110, or any other user, how are you? I'm working on a project with an Amlogic S805-based TV box and found your forum posts about custom Armbian images, particularly older versions like 5.67 with Debian Stretch and kernel 3.10.108. Unfortunately, the links you shared are no longer available, and I was wondering if you still have any of those files, or if you could give me some guidance on how to generate them. I'd greatly appreciate any help you can provide! Greetings from Argentina, Ricardo

Maybe, but maybe the issue won't occur then. If you want it reproducable, first for yourself, make a complete image of that USB stick on other large storage device and use that as 'master problem disk'. I have an old PC with 3x 4T HDD Btrfs multidevice formatted for such cases. Btrfs can make reflink copies or do RW snapshots, so easy and fast to create a slightly modified image. There is gddrescue to make initial copy from USB-stick. Also this is a USB-stick in an SBC, all sorts of power issues might also be a root cause. You can use nbd-server and nbd-client to make large/huge images available via network, I do that for my BananaPi M1 (8T HDD). In the past for Btrfs kernel development itself for example, there was/is? a metadata only imager tool, so in case of a complex filesystem bug, you can share only meta data, the data is actually zeroed/sparse. But you need a good extra Linux computer, Windows exFAT handling makes little sense. Best to also test/use the image with a generic Debian Bookworm/Trixie computer, I use a Armbian virtual machine for such a case, running on RPi4 (if 32-bit) or ROCK5B (64-bit only). They can use NBD (as client). AFAIR you can use the sunxi kernel directly in a KVM, at least did something with a NanoPi-NEO image (same kernel as well).
