Don't know where to report this as Armbian bug reporting form refused to accept community supported board, but it may not necessarily be board-specific.

This SSD thing has been broken for several months. YY3568 is now one of the Armbian recognized boards. Can someone please provide a fix?

Yes, I know about it, but my intention was whether it would be possible to also upgrade the SBC Orange Pi Zero V1 to the newer version of U-Boot

labwc is available in debian trixie: Start with a minimal armbian install Make sure your /dev/fb0 is DRM, not framebuffer $ sudo apt install seatd labwc foot $ labwc -s foot

I found some sample initramfs hooks that might give you some clues how to achieve your goal: https://github.com/simonschiele/initramfs-hooks

🤩🤪 super , thanks for the information

Sorry I did not provide enough info. I am using Debian bookworm, completely updated as far as I know, and it looks like you might be using Ubuntu. Maybe I needed to use bookworm-backports as you suggested; it looks like a newer version there. I've actually found another way to do what I was trying to do with v4l2loopback and don't need it anymore, but thanks for looking at it.

Are you trying to copy the rootfs of the system you are currently booted into? That won't work. You need to boot a separate installation, the filesystem you want to dd should not be mounted. You didn't really say what went wrong, by the way.

Okay, so I ran a little experiment to verify that it's not about mocp but rather something about the file or file system: $ cp -a /mnt/music/_INCOMING/Malukah\ -\ The\ Dragonborn\ Comes\ \(2017\)/01\ -\ Awake.flac 01.flac Segmentation fault The resulting file contains 9175040 Bytes instead of the expected 9593429, so is truncated. Consequently I also see the corresponding dmesg output parrots what I showed before. So it's about exfat, it appears. Prior to the upgrade did I move the file over to an ext4 partition as well (as I guessed it would be impossible with the 6.12.30-current-sunxi kernel). Copying that around, including _to_ the USB key doesn't seem to cause any issues. I'll see if I am able to figure out how to get the clusters of that particular file. Perhaps it becomes reproducible elsewhere with a (trimmed down) disk image? 2025-07-06_dmesg.txt

This would be very very hard. Would likely take years and would likely never achieve full functionality. If you have access to the source code for the firmware that comes on the device you would have a chance.

Right, judging by only one instance in the topwise a721 dts: [ 3.446799] sun4i-drm display-engine: No panel or bridge found... RGB output disabled I am inclined to think that is configuring the panel. This can be validated by checking ls /sys/devices/platform/display-engine/drm/card0 or looking for simple-panel in lsmod. I suspect it may be a pin-muxing issue where the pins are not being set. now what these are set depends on the lcd panel type which could be LVDS or a parallel panel. I believe it should be LVDS but just wanted to confirm. Now the A10's pin controller section within the dtsi does not map out as many function compared A20 dtsi, so within the topwise a721 dts under the pio node the display pins need to be declared and their function stated. Secondly attach the pin control handle to tcon0. For example: &pio { lvds0_pins: lvds0-pins@0 { pins = "PD0", "PD1", "PD2", "PD3", "PD4", "PD5", "PD6", "PD7", "PD8", "PD9"; function = "lvds0" }; }; &tcon0 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&lvds0_pins>; };

I can do that but it does not provide any useful information on the subject in my opinion. Is there a way to downgrade to 25.8.0-trunk.313? According to this post, it might be useful to set the kernel option nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us resp. the DT overlay parameter pciex1_gen=3. How can the kernel (cmdline) option be set in Armbian? Regarding the DT overlay parameter pciex1_gen, should I follow this part of the documentation?

So, there is nothing more we can do here I think. Wait for rockchip to correct upstream.

The issue appears to be two things. These two patches and the current defconfig(s) being used. drv-rtc-sun6i-support-RTCs-without-external-LOSCs.patch drv-rtc-sun6i-Add-Allwinner-H616-support.patch When I disable those patches and use my own defconfig everything works as it should. https://paste.armbian.com/tixixocubu The hard part here would be figuring out exactly what in the defconfig(s) are either breaking things or missing. Also if I disable those patches, what does it break on other units? I'm under the impression these patches were rejects from the original h616 bring up in mainline. But I could be wrong?

If you need hdmi support use vendor or edge kernel. 6.12 was released with a bare minimum of support for rk3588 so nonworking hdmi is kind a expected.

I added a patch that activates the gpu. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sunxi/20250706025625.2707073-1-iuncuim@gmail.com A ready to install kernel is available for manjaro. But it's worth realizing that without output it will be useless at the moment.

I've gone round in circles with this one and it seems that there might not be a solution, so will set it up again on the NVME drive. Thanks for all the help offered.

I hadn't done an upgrade but a fresh install; (v25.5.1 for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B running Armbian Linux 6.12.28-current-bcm2711) Realised that I had the same problem, only channel 2 was present; though I only realised something was missing when I'd tried RaspberryOS on a Pi Zero with the same i2c device. Adding to the /boot/config.txt didn't of itself solve the issue; adding the i2c1 to the armbian-config overlays also didn't see. However I did find the `/boot/firmware/config.txt` that has a lot more settings, and seems to be where armbian-config edits Note the `dtparam-i2c_arm=on` line... which was commented out. Adding that back and it works... (well after figuring out I needed to level shift the i2c device but that's another story) # For more options and information see # http://rptl.io/configtxt # Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details # Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces dtparam=i2c_arm=on #dtparam=i2s=on #dtparam=spi=on # .. dtoverlay=dwc2 i2c0 i2c1 i2c-gpio vc4-kms-v3d

Remote backup maybe only as data ... e.g. restic / rsync programs In my opinion it is best to make a backup of the SD card in linux connect miniSD card and make a backup in terminal: fdisk -l if your SD card is: sda / sda1.... then choose sda ! and then make a backup: dd if=/dev/sda of=/path_to_backup.img status=progress Restoring the image to the SD card with the same size: dd bs=4M if=/path_to_copy.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress If you want to burn the image to a smaller capacity SD card because, for example, the system is only 30% occupied, use the program:PiShrink https://github.com/Drewsif/PiShrink it works great for me for Armbian 🙂 sudo pishrink.sh /path_to_backup.img / /new_backup-Pishrink.img

I use the Station M2 image with dtb joined. Adapt fdtfile entry in /boot/armbianEnv.txt as needed. rk3566-box-demo_x96x6_24-custom.dtb

please show the output of "apt policy zfs-dkms" but essentially, this looks the same as your other rodeo/struggle with this board and dkms. As mentioned there, you are much better off with btrfs instead of zfs on your SBC.

I confirm that this repository ffmpeg works for me: * Orange Pi Zero 3 * self built image with Debian Trixie and Xfce desktop * Linux Edge 6.15.0 * Login in Xfce X11 mode * follow all the instructions in original post * mpv plays most mp4s VERY SMOOTHLY * some resolutions will crash mpv with "Segmentation Fault" and cause a kernel crash shortly after Then, to make it work with an ili9488 LCD, I needed to change these: * install LCD DTS, firmware, remove plymouth (see my ili9488 thread) * I can't make X11 work with my LCD driver and panel-mipi-dbi-spi recently... (still investigating why it worked before) * but I can make it work with labwc and sway * install seatd (authorization library), labwc (I only have experience with labwc) and foot (wayland terminal) * Choose labwc instead of xfce in lightdm login * from SSH session: DISPLAY=:0 foot& * in foot: mpv videofile.mpv * it plays most mp4s VERY SMOOTHLY * some resolutions will crash mpv with "Segmentation Fault" and cause a kernel crash shortly after
