I do not have any other monitor available but I did order a UART to usb device, and I have identified with a multimeter the uart pads, which are next to the SD card slot. I will keep this feed updated!

Hello! You should really look to the board name in rk3318-config rather than relying to led-conf numbering; also your dmesg is showing a very bad error which is probably due to an unstable system rather than a bug

rk322x armbian images never used the offset of 8192 sectors, only the multitool has such offset to increase compatibility with stock images

@Hqnicolas would it be possible to have the driver @guenter pointed out in the base image?

I think the core problem is that headers were compiled with Ubuntu compiler / userspace and you try to use it on Debian. I used this on Ubuntu, which is the reason why it worked. We are aware of this problem - headers should be distro specific. Which adds complexity on our side ...

We already did that. I think the problem is that our keys are not packed (yet) but added at build time. When a person upgrades from Bookworm to Trixie, this will show up, while on new Trixie images this shouldn't manifest. @zital debian Is this the case? https://github.com/armbian/configng/commit/5d866b9b105bfd46cb341c21c70ba76e32e1fea2 We are signing with old and new key (which is aligned with current standards) since then.

Hi everyone, I recently got an ESP-WROOM-32 Development Board to use as a companion board for my Armbian SBC setup. My goal is to have the ESP32 collect sensor data and send it to the Armbian host over serial or WiFi. It works okay at first, but after a while running a Python script, the ESP32 crashes or stops sending data. Setup Details: Armbian running on a Banana Pi (or similar SBC) ESP-WROOM-32 connected over serial (USB-to-TTL) and also configured via WiFi Python script (on the Armbian side) reads from the serial port / receives via a simple socket over WiFi Power supply is stable; using 3.3 V TTL logic on ESP and stable USB power Now here are my issues: Script runs fine for some minutes (5–10), then suddenly no data from ESP3. ESP32 sometimes reboots (observed via onboard LED), sometimes appears alive but unresponsive. Logs show no obvious error messages; serial just quiet or times out I've tried lowering the serial baud rate. Added delays / sleeps in code to reduce data flood. Ensured the USB-power to ESP32 is stable / using good cable. Tried Py serial and different socket listener scripts Could USB-TTL or serial USB drivers under Armbian be causing issues (overheating, buffer overflows)? Would switching fully to WiFi (TCP/UDP) instead of serial help stability? Any tools or logging tips on Armbian to catch the crash (kernel logs, serial trace, etc.)? Thanks in advance for any advice. Jordan

I don't see it as the very latest bleeding edge kernel version. I see it as a newish Linux, which already has the armbian patches updated for. Some CPUs end up with newer or older Linux versions, due to varying levels of development success. For example, sunxi's armbian edge is 6.15.4 today, but the linux trunk is up to 6.17-rc6 ... (not available in Armbian)

I tried it on 6.16.7, and the log started working: [ 4.838111] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] fb0: rockchipdrmfb frame buffer device Error again after initialization: [ 5.118148] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes [ 5.637839] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes

Has anyone ever gotten the Radxa Zero 3w working in gadget mode? I bought a Zero 3w about a week ago and have been beating this horse most of the time. I can't get the device to connect via USB. A or C. When I try to connect (radxa.local) it will always go through wifi. If I have wlan0 disabled or even my internet off it just will NOT connect. It clearly is using wifi to connect even if I use the hostname. Maybe this is something simple but I and another engineer I work with have been scratching our heads about it. The obligatory AI search was an endless loop of everything we had already tried. Anybody have any advice?

I was considering rebuilding the initrd image for orange pi 5 as I think there was an issue in what was put on the image file. But now I have an a system settup with 6.1.115 - I should be good.

Hello, I am selling a working unit of Kobol Helios64 with the fix done, without drives. Based in Czech Republic, able to send within EU. Please DM me if interested.

current isn't ideal for any rk3588 hw anyway due to lack of hw features mainlined for now. edge or vendor working best.

Let's say the world has been extra certain to bring me IRL problems 😄, as far as a bootloader being present, the Libre Computer Tritium boards are as barebones as can be possible, so any issues should be shared across any/all other H5 boards and really not board specific.

@Dominik Wójt Hey, I've picked up my mxq box again looking to put a newer OS on it. It seems the image you provided works with HDMI. Thanks! However, if I build it from the normal armbian repo it does not work. Any chance you can share what changes you made?

Hi everyone, I was experience some strange things with two similar devices, the first I installed in february this year, mesa v.24.x and EGL 1.4 and it was working fine The other one I installed this week and it turns out that it uses mesa v.25.x and EGL 1.5, although performance was great with most 3D apps (like glmark2) I had poor performance under sway/kitty or the retroarch menu for instance (something like 15 fps). It took me a few days to find a solution so if you have similar issues please try installing mesa with the kisak repository as it fixed my problems sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa -y sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade the last command should upgrade mesa to a more recent version than what's in the ubuntu ppa.

Hi, you need the radxa dedicated tool to do it : https://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Rkdeveloptool Once it is compiled and installed, you need to start the device in "maskrom mode", to do that, push the maskrom button located under the board near the hdmi output then power the device while holding the button. The led should turn and stays on. To check if the device is ready, run the following command : rkdeveloptool ld it should print something like that : DevNo=1 Vid=0x2207,Pid=0x350a,LocationID=302 Maskrom it means the device is ready to receive data then you need to upload the bootloader : sudo rkdeveloptool db rk356x_spl_loader_ddr1056_v1.12.109_no_check_todly.bin and finally you can upload the armbian img : sudo rkdeveloptool wl 0 Armbian-XXX.img make sure your device is properly cooled before doing those operations because heat can freeze the process. you can find the loader and more info here : https://docs.radxa.com/en/zero/zero3/low-level-dev/rkdeveloptool there's a windows version of rkdeveloptool too you can find on their website.

That should work for me. Thanks to everyone, who have participated.
