Up! I've forgot device in drawer until now, when my klipper host minipc died.. Got Klipper with CAN and Klipperscreen working great to run my Voron Trident. Awesome work guys, thanks again!

Just so I don't forget. To be able to get it working currently I have to do this. Yeah yeah, hate me all you want, I don't know this shit Your SD-card will be fried and wanna give up after this many shitty writes. I always wonder why everyone decided sd-cards were a good idea... Flash with a known good image.

https://mega.nz/folder/Gv5VjKqL#SLnQdtk8XS8j3twNSFLsVQ I uploaded a Trixie and Noble image, I didnt test the noble one yet. I added pcie and spi support in U-Boot and the Kernel yet somehow if I try to directly load the kernel from the nvme I get stuck on Starting Kernel. I just added the nvme to the boot targets and set bootcmd_nvme to 'devnum=0; run nvme_boot', did I miss any steps? The Led blinks one time and then light in blue permanently.

Armbian does not have a config for this board nor is it supported in some way.

Ur welcome.

The Armbian Debian 12 bookworm XFCE version workes fine, also after an update! Almost everything, including the fan is working. Video is working fine except for ytube. ytube is not playable even in the lowest, 144p, framerate. it's useless. I read about 3D acceleration but I'm not sure how to get on with this. Ernst-Jan

FWIW, HEVC support is queued for 6.19. With WIP patches on top, rkvdec2 is also available to me. With the gstreamer framework, this works for me out-of-the-box, as the necessary support has been available in mainline for quite some time. See video-pipeline.pdffor reference. I have already rebuilt the Huffman package with the patches mentioned above, but currently the developers of the distribution of my choice are busy rebuilding all packages that depend on it. As soon as the Huffman package is rolled out, I will start to see how HEVC performs with the FFMPEG framework.

Hard to say how far that work has progressed and what currently functions. You are welcome to use it and continue development on your own. Armbian is primarily a build framework, and our capacity for maintaining hardware is very limited — typically to just a few boards or platforms. Tony played a key role in this effort, though he may not be available to continue contributing in his personal time. Getting to this point was already a loss of our precious time.

Go ahead and put that into a PR if it makes sense. That is the way to slowly improve the situation in armbian. These kinds of patches have to come from the community to be shared with everyone.

Awesome, thank you so much for this. And it's already merged. Very nice indeed.

Wild guess: armbian-firmware or linux-firmware package?

Apologies for the very long delay; life happened. I grabbed the Ubuntu Noble 25.8.1 image, ran through initial setup, and re-ran the `apt` commands in my initial post. This got me Linux 6.12.56-current-rockchip, since time has advanced. Alas, here too `modprobe zfs` crashes in much the same way: [ 430.862366] spl: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

You need to set this to y or m in your kernel config. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/blob/v20250306/config/kernel/linux-sunxi64-edge.config#L5745 https://www.kernelconfig.io/config_usb_acm

Okay I gave up on it and done a fresh install.. Took me 5 hours to get it back up and running, to reconfig x11vnc and samba stuff. Starting a freshly baked image proved to be a nightmare - for whoever is interested I share my story; For some reason it did not detect wireless dongle for keyboard. So I could see it over hdmi but no input was possible. Did not have a wired keyboard at hand. at first run it did not became accessible over ssh. but an ip address was assigned to it by dhcp router; I could see a new ip when I'd start it up. but it would not respond to ssh requests. But serial connection saved the day. Luckily I did have a serial adapter. Created username/password and then it was accessible over ssh and I could ditch the crappy tv screen I was using Selected wrong locale on setup, was unable to get rid of it without commenting wrong locale lines in ~/.bashrc Then I spent some few hours to get vnc up and running with lightdm and crapload of other dependencies, packages. Thanks AI for assistance. When asking quality questions and sharing messages/outputs it was super useful (I dont keep anything confidential there) Manually created /home/domas/startxfve_headless.sh script, made it executable, the whole orderal Not to mention xfce was not installed by default on this debian/minimal image. It was fun one too. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Software/Desktops/ - armbian-config --cmd XFCE01 just ran the script and nothing happened without any error Had to do it manually but I think it worked the first or second time. And the most fun one since it included multimeter and soldering iron: then it did not detect my disk over sata no matter what I do. Apparently measured 0v at hdd power connector. Not sure how I killed it. After some fiddling around I connected jst connector's for hard drive 5V power to one of gpio pins that supply 5v. HDD spins up - YAAAY. It was short-lived. Disk Still undetected. Probably usb to sata controller is not powered on since 5v regulator fried. (thanks AI for ideas) So then I jumped a wire from said gpio 5v pin to the back of what used to be 5V connector for hard drive so it both feeds the disk and backfeeds the boards 5v regulator with the needed usb to sata controller. I don't use gpio. ITS ALIVE. No, I did not believe it would work. But at this point I had nothing to lose. Sketchy? Yes. Have I ever pulled worse? Sure. Proud of myself? You bet.

Thank you for sharing it Can you include these specifications, for quick reference for future readers? Board, Debian version, Kernel, Graphics (console, X11, wayland)

Bluetooth also works

I finally successfully updated Nextcloud to version 31.0.10 on my Odroid N2+ 😅 Despite all official information, an update is possible on a system running nextcloud installed via the script ! It is not necessary to buy a new hardware just to run nextcloud on your Armbian SBC in order to get the update. I did the following: Updated nextcloudpi to version 1.55.4 which was never released but just tagged on github Nextcloudpi tagged page on github via the ncp-config menu system (Updates/nc-update) Updated nextcloud to version 31.0.10, again, via the menu system (Updates/nc-update-nextcloud version 31.0.10) I don't really know why this information is not readily available on the nextcloudpi github page nor anywhere else I looked. Have fun Norbert

@AndroidNewbie, what kind of help do you expect to receive? @Ducdanh Nguyen, are you sure it was my modified update.zip (hint: open it with any archiver and see for file "wipedata.flag" - is it there?)? Are old settings and apps stays in place after flashing? Are update.zip located in root of sd card? If all answers is yes, then try to update using usb flash drive instead of sd card.

I had to use 6.1.75 to get the analog out working. It is the only version where the analog out works - it shows in other versions but there is no playback

/dev/serial is also gone on 25.8.2

Installation of autheila package ("apt install authelia") does does end with error due to /var/log/journal beeing a symlink to /var/log.hdd/journal. Once the symlink is removed and the directory is created instead, the installation can be completed successfully. The symlink can be recreated afterwards and authelia wil steill run normally - until the next package update.

Looking for help getting mine running I have a very basic understanding of this device and am learning Linux on my own if someone could message me so we can work through this I would love to get this running

You have to change the fancontrol.service file and set the option PrivateDevices to no. Do systemctl edit fancontrol and insert [Service] PrivateDevices=no
