I've just be trying again and have managed to get X running on my Nano. But not very well I fear. My first problem is that the Nano can't read the screen EDID. I get lots of "transfer timed out" errors for i2c-1 in the log. I believe this is the ddc connection to the HDMI port. Has anybody here seen this issue and found a solution ? The killer I hit before was that Xorg would hang when first checking the ports (e.g. /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1). What I have found is that removing /dev/dri/* before starting X avoids this hang and I do get my desktop and all works. But it seems awfully risky to delete files such as /dev/dri/* and I'm hoping there's a better way. The hang could be an Xorg bug because the same hang happens on a Raspberry Pi 5 when running a 64-bit system but not when running a 32-bit system. As the Nano can't read the EDID it will default to 1024x768 mode. If I force an EDID using drm.edid_firmware=xxx in the kernel command line I can get 1920x1080 on a small HD screen but not on other 1920x1080 screens I've tried. What could confuse the issue here is that I'm running a custom 6.6.87 kernel and use sysvinit rather than systemd. So perhaps my problems are partially self-inflicted. But I have managed to get my 4GB Nano running X with one monitor. The video driver is only the fbdev driver so how well it works with videos etc. remains to be seen. Cheers, Steven

Regarding video acceleration in H618: Can you try the latest armbian with linux edge? https://forum.armbian.com/topic/32449-repository-for-v4l2request-hardware-video-decoding-rockchip-allwinner/#findComment-216587 (the announcement refers to 6.13, but I don't know if it applies to 6.14 or 6.15) ... I think armbian 25.5.1 with linux edge option, builds linux 6.13.x https://github.com/armbian/build/releases/tag/v25.5.1 (and it seems that minimal images de-activates v4l2) I see the patches in my armbian build folder, I compiled in many ways, but I didn't get video acceleration. I didn't get new kernel modules that seem to be related to the patch source code. Perhaps I needed to check that the specific patches are activated or find the linux config option=m

FWIW rkvdec will be out of staging in 6.17 Be prepared to forward-port existing out-of-tree patches. cedrus has not seen much movement since a long time It can therefore be assumed that all necessary out-of-tree modifications from the past must be applied even with the latest kernel version. Since no mainline developments have taken place, no forward porting should be necessary.

@psygnosis Which version of Armbian and os are you running? Yesterday I loaded current noble on a test system and I just noticed that it is running hot (45) even with a significant heat sink. Another operational system that is running current bookworm runs much cooler (32). If you are running noble, could I ask you to try bookworm to see if there is a difference. I will load up my test system with bookworm to check also.

hi guys, Danubio from Uruguay successfully tested very nice QPC2 Sinclair QL emulator (hybrid m68k + win32 peripheral code) on armbian with hangover 🙂 https://theqlforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5330 he is testing lot of old windows music apps on armbian this way, so I asked him also to test QPC2, this was one of my cool use cases for armbian too (busy here with other things still so ... my way to linux is very slow ...) Petr

My story is definitely NOT a success story I see the media.patches in the cache folder, I compile armbian edge, but the image didn't contain the cedrus+v4l2 kernel modules I need for decoding acceleration

Some progress : I noticed the warning "checksum failed" when I do get-edid | parse-edid on my asus monitor. As a test, I connected a Dell monitor instead and I don't get the checksum error with it. Also, after a reboot, I do get a full HD 1920x1080 resolution on the Dell monitor! So, the real issue appears to be that the kernel override does not work, the kernel still reads the EDID from the monitor even when fed the extraarg line extraargs=drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/edid_asus_vs228.bin video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60 drm.debug=0x4 from my defective edid asus monitor, or from the correct generic /lib/firmware/edid/1920x1080.bin file. How do I go about solving this? Who should I talk to? Who builds the armbian kernel? Is there a switch when building it that can be changed to solve this?

@Benedito Portela thanks for reply I have another gigabit router that works, but It doesnt have Fiber optics and tnelefone. Idk If this is useful. I contacted my provider because they don't offer access to the router. They said all ports are on automatic and it only works at 100/1000 Mbps. I've tried everything, even changing the TV Box's speed negotiation, but it doesn't support it. The only way that works is to put a device between it and the main router.

thanks, pulled it.

Hello Павел NetAid, put sd card in windows and resize the small partition with disk format tool.

I'll try those ag123, thanks!

I've followed your suggestion and used the configure sw. I've solved. Thank you.

Hi all, I managed to install Armbian on a X96 Linux TVBox with 4Gb RAM and 32Gb ROM. I've build the image following the Armbian Build Framework. - v25.08 rolling for aml-s9xx-box running Armbian Linux 6.12.37-current-meson64 I reused the DTB that originally comes with the BOX and almost everything seems to work. I tested the system using glmark2 with a score of 197. I suppose GPU is working. Anyway I've some problems with Electron. I have installed the "hello world" app. The application starts but I receive this error: [4150:0714/130924.545719:ERROR:ui/gfx/linux/gbm_wrapper.cc:79] Failed to get fd for plane.: No such file or directory (2) [4150:0714/130924.547711:ERROR:ui/gfx/linux/gbm_wrapper.cc:261] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2) Any suggestion? Davide

I encountered the same issue using a custom v25.08 "RPi4b" image with kernel 6.12.37-current-bcm2711. I found out, that adding the following line to /boot/firmware/config.txt brings back the missing i2c device: However, this used to happen automatically with the old "RPi5" images.

For Linux CP2102 doesn't work at 1.5 megabaud or 1500000 baud. for linux I discovered the CH341A I2C programmer. I just set it to TTL by a jumper and use it as 1.5 megabaud TTL UART 1500000 baud

@ER Samson To help figure out why your unit is stopping you could connect to it via an ssh session and as root run "journalctl -f". this might catch any error messages just prior to failure. When running with logs in zram, as Armbian does, the last messages in the logs are quite often lost when the system abruptly stops.

ADVANTECH EPC-R4680?

I bring the board up to use it on metal and Low level development, I use pci-e for jtag but I never considered the possibility of using an nvme there In my opinion, if you have a board that is running with internal emmc and sdcard you can provide an adjustment for pci-e NVME, It is a small adjustment, related to just one functionality of the board. I hope I'm not the only one with this board in my hands

I'll try

Apparently I'm an idiot and did not fully read the instructions linked. I had not previously copied the files as per the instructions. Doing so allowed box64 to compile most of the way, and I then ran into the issue described here. I tried deleting the file as described and that did not help. I am unsure if my rpi zero 2w will work to compile it, but I shall post an update once I test that, then try copying the file over.

vendor branch is based on latest rockchip bsp which is 6.1.115 atm. You can use code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } armbian-config to switch.

Hello Mark, Sorry, I think I solved the problem by creating a readme file. Now you can create a fork of the github projet: https://github.com/GuillaumeLopere/Armbian-TX95Max-AllwinnerH618/fork - Then you can add documents with "+" and "Upload files" - "Choose your files" and Check the box "Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request" I think this is the easiest way to do it.
