@Igor Is this something that Armbian can add automatically for a board? Maybe that it did in the past?

Thank you for your generous offer, @coroner21. I am interested and would love to use this unit to keep it supported in Armbian Core. My goal would be to help keep it at standard supported status. I was already able to lift the BPi M2+ from community to standard support status. I have sent you a PM.

Armbian has become a total nightmare. Things keep breaking and theres no way to get a proper build of a past state anymore, so if I loose a copy of the original image I used for a machine then I am stuck again. Stuck with hardware that will not work again. And this hardware costs a lot of money, and its a lot of time too. Why Armbian was not written with this in mind I really don't know ??? The tree kernel lines supported seem to change randomly and are not in alignment with the linux kernel versions or seem to change randomly just at the wrong times.

Thank you for sharing your success story for the benefit of everybody.

I cannot verify your claim that Ubuntu "reverted" to Gnome v44. Noble has v44 indeed. v46 is not anywhere in a Ubuntu release so my guess is you shot yourself in the foot with some random PPA or whatever repo out there. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome3 There is no shortage of boards out in the wild, nobody would think that. What there is, is a shortage of people willing to fund development, be it users or companies. Big shout out to those who do and to our volunteer devs, thank you!

Thank you for your work and I'm happy you fixed it for your installation. It would be good to have this be incorporated into Armbian itself.

I would not expect an older release to run cooler.

Thank you for confirming, @SteeMan. I had the feeling this was a TV box but could not be 100% certain without your expertise.

Hello Petersonn, hope you will enjoy your Armbian time!

I tried this in a raspberry pi with graphic services stopped. Labwc exits normally I tried it in a virtualbox x86, with Debian trixie netinstall (barebones+labwc+seatd). Labwc exits normally. I think other armbian users (probably non allwinner) have used labwc, but they never complained about Labwc crashes. YES. I will try it with a true intel system.

good luck

great, keep us posted and be sure to invite Danubio to post here directly, too!

@Werner https://paste.armbian.de/wikedaqena I have ordered a couple of 3.3/5v UART USB adapters. I used to have an old 5V old. Thanks !

github issue

Never mind, I found this old image with built-in desktop environment and I was able to upgrade it to current. https://users.armbian.com/jock/web/rk322x/armbian/beta/Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Rk322x-box_noble_current_6.6.56_xfce_desktop.img.xz

If boot from USB works, you don't need to install anything, just do 1st login config as described here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#first-login If boot from USB is not supported by this hardware (I don't recall if it works on N2+ or not), you need to start with SD card, conduct previous steps following by https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#installation

@HqnicolasI tried following your post but not successful. Do you have another method for that. Thank you.

B00-MX3mini-Ver1.7 2GB RAM eMMC Android backup for armbian-ddbr As promised here is the link to the factory android image eMMC backup for fake tanix tx3 mini s905l2-b box with 2gb ram. Obviously the image must be moved to the /ddbr/ folder and the armbian-ddbr command must be used to restore it from a working Linux system on a USB stick or microSD card inserted in the box.

Most likely a U-boot problem. Please see https://github.com/armbian/community/issues/39

@ScoreABSM https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8394 I enabled gpu via overlay. Looking fine on my end. Tested using Chromium and Youtube. Still not sure about that audio dmesg error. Audio does work though. Image I ran test with: https://github.com/pyavitz/binary/releases/download/images/Armbian-unofficial_25.08.0-trunk_Bananapim4zero_bookworm_current_6.12.35_xfce_desktop.img.xz dmesgandmisc.txt

Thank you Nick I tried again with compositor off I still get: [vd] Unsupported hwdec: drm [vd] Using software decoding. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/32449-repository-for-v4l2request-hardware-video-decoding-rockchip-allwinner/page/4/

I have tried again with orange pi zero 3, debian trixie linux edge, xfce desktop. This time, I tried without compositor. I ran this from SSH, as my user: killall xfwm4 && xfwm4 --compositor=off & I got: (xfwm4:7880): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:45:56.629: cannot open display: Then I tried "killall xfwm4 && xfwm4 --compositor=off &" and there were no errors. The orange transparent effect when moving windows is now a white line rectangle Then, mpv played my 1080p mp4 with low framerate (slow motion, 75% of speed)... sometimes with 100% CPU and sometimes with 25% CPU I noticed this in the log (both high and low CPU cases) [vd] Unsupported hwdec: drm [vd] Using software decoding. With high CPU: [cplayer] Set property: user-data/osc/margins={"b":0,"r":0,"t":0,"l":0} -> 1 With 25% CPU: [cplayer] Set property: user-data/osc/margins={"l":0,"b":0,"r":0,"t":0} -> 1 Whole log (low CPU case): (Mpv.conf at the bottom) Another sanity check: Ryzer, did you turn the compositor off? Are you using an armbian-downloaded OS, or self built? What kernel version? DId you change anything in the linux menuconfig? I am recompiling again, having checked again that the new linux patches are taken.... how could I check that my current Linux kernel has the new v4l2, cedrus functions? Then I will try again with Bookworm

No, this board isn't supported. However anyone from the community can step up and add support for it. Found an attempt on Github:https://github.com/juanesf/build/pull/1
