Does anyone have experience with getting Armbian working on an ODROID C5? Wiki Does the C4 image work on the C5?

There is no official support for offline work. You can try OFFLINE_WORK=yes but no clue if it still works.

for more fun... the bootloader doesn't appear to build. I tried both the mtksoc-20250212 and mtksoc-20250711 branches. root@c4b6c21f3c6a:/armbian/cache/sources/arm-trusted-firmware/mtksoc-20250212# make PLAT=mt7988 Building mt7988 CC plat/mediatek/mt7988/bl2/bl2_plat_init.c plat/mediatek/mt7988/bl2/bl2_plat_init.c:10:10: fatal error: bl2_plat_setup.h: No such file or directory 10 | #include <bl2_plat_setup.h> There *is* a bl2_plat_setup.h, but it's not in the mediatek/mt7988 dir but rather mediatek/apsoc_common/bl2. Fixing mediatek/platform.mk to reference that eventually produces a *new* build error root@c4b6c21f3c6a:/armbian/cache/sources/arm-trusted-firmware/mtksoc-20250212# make PLAT=mt7988 Building mt7988 make: *** No rule to make target 'fdts/.dts', needed by '/armbian/cache/sources/arm-trusted-firmware/mtksoc-20250212/build/mt7988/release/fdts/.pre.dts'.

You're absolutely right — relying on the marketing name alone can be very misleading, especially with RK322x-based boards. The silkscreen labeling on the PCB is by far the most reliable identifier, and it's great that the community consistently points this out. Regarding the SSV6051P, it's good news that support has made it into the mainline kernel. I’ve had some success with it as well, though occasional quirks still happen. For other ssv6xxx variants, falling back to the vendor kernel really is a last resort — not just because it’s outdated, but also due to the lack of security updates and general stability. Also, thanks for underlining the importance of the led-config utilities in enabling the Wi-Fi chip. Many users overlook this step and get stuck. A reboot and rechecking with rk322x-config is indeed essential. This thread continues to be a goldmine for anyone navigating RK322x quirks.

Then Trixie arm64 is already supported BTW: just managed to use a trixie armhf armbian rootfs as a rootfs container for lxc... it just works, so packages are coming for trixie armhf too 😁 edit: trixie armhf packages added!

I ordered a NVMe HAT and the SSD works fine now. Thank you. Regards

R-TV Box S10 I know this is an old topic but I am trying to get this S10 box going for a old colleague which updated and now no longer starts but stays in the animation and not booting into android. Cannot find any firmware download. Thanks in advance

The latest Linux kernel brings enhanced MediaTek Platform enablement, Rockchip performance, and more. Collabora contributed to this release with no less than 22 authored contributors! View the full article

I have the same problem. I just downloaded the latest IOT-Armbian. No Wifi and no BT.

No deal. Thanks for your support. Hopefully we find a solution together.

Yes. Correct. Start with an armbian minimal or xcfe image that you build, with linux edge. Then install all the compilation dependencies mentioned in https://github.com/labwc/labwc/wiki and https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Debian-10-(Buster)-Installation#install-wlroots Some are mentioned as indicated for raspberry, but I installed them as well Do not install the debian bookworm libwlroots10 !! (this old wlroots interferes with the wlroots that will be installed now) Do not install libelogind-dev (it tried to modify my initramfs, it messed up the boot process, I didnt actually need it) You need a meson compiler more recent than bookworm provides. Install the backports repo: https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ $ sudo apt install meson/bookworm-backports $ meson -v 1.7.0 Getting the labwc source code, and building: $ sudo apt install foot seatd (a minimal xterm for wayland, and a "seat manager" (may not be needed)) $ git clone https://github.com/labwc/labwc $ cd labwc $ meson setup build <-check that you have at least the GLES2 or EGL renderer If not, check that you have these dependencies: libegl-dev, libegl1-mesa-dev, libgles2-mesa-dev, libgles-dev If xwayland is desired, install xwayland from the bookworm repo After installing extra dependencies, run reconfiguration: $ meson setup --reconfigure build You will notice that the labwc build process auto-downloads and compiles a recent wlroots Finally compile (it took less than 5 minutes in my orange pi zero 3) $ meson compile -C build If it finishes compiling, check that the produced labwc works with: $ ./build/labwc -s foot If there's an error about memory allocation, add to armbianEnv.txt "extraargs=cma=256M", then reboot To install globally: $ sudo meson install -C build Test by exiting the labwc folder: cd ~ $ labwc -s foot Tomorrow, I will continue installing a display manager and greeter that works with wayland... since I am trying to avoid X11, due to my SPI LCD driver But all of you who try getting labwc in bookworm, hopefully the meson install command does something that lets lightdm see it is available as an option (I started with a minimal image)

Actually, on my board, this value can be set to either 1 or 4. Setting it to 4 provides a significant boost to read/write performance, while a value of 8 fails the test.

When auto login is enabled, this is how it starts - its in "show all screens" mode. I don't know how to fix this - its some Gnome settings / it doesn't bother me as click of a mouse to the empty space solves it. I saw you are trying Debian variant. Here it might be better to stick to Ubuntu based - its more polished. Weird beep you are experiencing - I haven't tested this HW for awhile, but so far I didn't notice it. Dunno where that is coming from.

Thanks everyone. I went with another phone and distro (ubuntu touch) since i found a fully supported one.

"doesn't work" or equivalents are not enough information. pastebin your logs somewhere so that people can actually see what exactly doesn't work.

As @Werner said and then just ask any specific questions you may have. Welcome to the Armbian community, @Sahil Usmani.

Seriously? https://www.lmgt.org/?q=simulate+high+latency https://duckduckgo.com/?q=simulate+high+latency You're welcome. "Many many months" of what?

You are asking for help. Have you actually followed the guidance you were given, though? Have you been successful to compile an image for any target (virtual or otherwise)?

@Sandeep Please don't hijack / necro old threads. You have a completely different issue from the OP, this particular one was already solved. Please open a new thread and show the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.{list,sources}". Feel free to ping me there and I'll be happy to help.

Thanks a lot, It works! I've bought the orange pi zero 2 rencently, with also the board version v1.5, but in my case it seems that "pull PC5 to GND" is still needed, which is written at wiki: I use the latest Armbian IoT based on Ubnutu: So it may have some variant? Whatever, as it says: "pull PC5 to GND", I used a 2pin jumper(header) to shortcut the pin13(PC5) and pin14 rather than pin13 and pin9, since they are next to each other, and it works! 🙂 So I posted here in case someone runs into the same issue.

Hi @Alex T Indeed the board seems to be dead not getting turned on at all. Even tried to boot with the secondary BIOS but not working. I managed to fit the new board in the older case so its perfectly being utilised.
