Further, I can't find any reference to an Amlogic S905M cpu. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amlogic) In a google search, I see reports of some people saying the actual cpu is an S905L while others report having an S905X2. You might want to open up the stick to see what the actual CPU is.

That github page tells you that the in-kernel driver is better than morrownr's driver. Have you tried that first? Search for rtw88 in the /lib/modules folder Try rebuilding armbian, find rtw88 or 8812au in the linux configuration menu and activate them.

Me too. I was not paying attention to this due to dealing with many non technical things in past few months and as already mentioned, those upgrades are not being tested on older boards. We simply don't have enough resources, test automation is limited - HDMI is not tested in any case. There is more or less just one main person doing general maintenance on Allwinner with occasional help of random people. 6.14 is already EOL and we just switched to 6.15 (EDGE branch), but we will probably stay on stable CURRENT branch with 6.12.y for awhile as its fairly stabilized in general across several platforms. IMO it is best to backport this patch for 6.12.y or fix whatever breaks this.

Did you make any progress with this? Also looking to build something with I2S.

Welcome! This question is a bit off topic here as general Armbian updates are not part of HA extension. As this is community supported hardware, stable BSP upgrades - where OS version is stored - might not be generated, while kernel and everything else is getting upgrades. tl;dr; Don't worry about this. For board related topics proceed here https://forum.armbian.com/forum/173-allwinner-sunxi/

Hey if it’s still available I will pay the shipments

Hey, @arbeiter! It shouldn't be necessary to put the device in Maskrom mode, Loader mode should be enough - you can do that by using a toothpick to activate the reset button in the 3.5 mm jack (example photo attached) before plugging the device with the USB-A-USB-A cable. For the flashing - you should run rkdeveloptool ld (to list recognized devices) and see if the box is in LOADER mode rkdeveloptool write 0 Ambian-unofficial... Here should be the latest gnome desktop verison that I compiled. Please be advised that your version is M9S and, as far as I know, the only difference is that M9 comes with Android and M9S comes with Android TV; this image hasn't been tested on M9S. Don't forget to freeze the kernel updates from armbian-config; you should be able to update the other packages normally after this. For me the box has been stable, no hangs whatsover and, as described, the VPU and the NPU work, but the GPU doesn't (that's why it's blacklisted). Haven't tried the remote nor the LCD screen.

I'm not aware of any support by mainline linux for this processor. Maybe in a few years, but in general, Amlogic doesn't work with mainline linux to get their cpu's supported, so there is unlikely to ever be any support outside android for this box.

@Igor Just tried with the latest image on https://dl.armbian.com/rock-5b-plus/Noble_vendor_gnome. This 100% works as I had tested, so either @armbuilder has a broken flash storage or had an error while writing to the storage medium. Gnome Desktop is working too

Thank you. I also can confirm this issue on Armbian 25.5.1 Bookworm, and that the suggest workaround works. For those interested, here is a more detailed explanation of what @Lars Christian Nygård said. Create a backup of original DTB. sudo cp /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dts /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts-orig.dts Decompile the DTB for the Orange Pi 3 LTS. sudo dtc -I dtb -O dts -o /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dts /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dtb Modify the decompiled DTS file according with your favorite editor, e.g. nano or vim. sudo nano /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dts Navigate to the "spi@5011000" section and modify it. Set "status" to "okay" and add the "spidev@0" section. spi@5011000 { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h6-spi\0allwinner,sun8i-h3-spi"; reg = <0x5011000 0x1000>; interrupts = <0x00 0x0b 0x04>; clocks = <0x06 0x53 0x06 0x51>; clock-names = "ahb\0mod"; dmas = <0x2e 0x17 0x2e 0x17>; dma-names = "rx\0tx"; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <0x31 0x32>; resets = <0x06 0x20>; status = "okay"; #address-cells = <0x01>; #size-cells = <0x00>; phandle = <0x78>; spidev@0 { compatible = "armbian,spi-dev"; reg = <0x00>; spi-max-frequency = <0xf4240>; }; }; Save and compile the modified DTS file. sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dts -o /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dtb Remove any previously configured overlay for SPI using "armbian-config" or editing the "/boot/armbianEnv.txt" file directly. No further modifications are needed to load our new recompiled DTB, since we directly modified the base DTB. Reboot when done.

ls: unable to get access to '/boot/dtb/overlays': No such file or directory. Despite this, I attached full tree of "boot" directory. boot_dir_content.txt

Just plugged a M.2 M key to E key adapter with an Intel AX200 iwlwifi (installed the firmware) booted up and Wifi 6 is going without using a USB port. My project is one step closer!!! Just have to get that last USB-C port working.

Sounds good, thank you Werner! If anyone wants to share their favorite boards then please go ahead too 🙂

No

That is worrying, I wonder if there could potentially be issues with the RAM, which could either be faulty or clocked higher than a level it is stable at. Reffering back to the fex you provide earlier it suggest a dram value of 384, so you may have to the def_config file to include the line CONFIG_DRAM_CLK=384. Is the card just class 10 rated or is it an A1 SD card? https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ Strange it should auto login on first boot. What it should be request is to set a new root password then confirming that password. Could you please provide a screen shot of the login screen you are greeted with. Alternatively it may be possible to set the root password external to get around this issue. Please see: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Autoconfig/ Strange never encoutered that before, have you tried pulling the latest version of armbian build to see if it fixes it? Unfortunately I have not had a lot of luck in trying to get WSL2 to work so I have stuck with virtual box. Worth a shot with the pre-built images, but I dont believe the Cubieboard is in a much better state. best of luck Ryzer

Description Fix the peripheral aliases to ensure consistent allocation when enabled, so that kernel assignment matches the numbering convention of the SOC. This targets the Allwinner A10 and A20 and ensures, that for example if enabling UART2 exposes it correctly in userspace as ttyS2 rather than dynamically assigning it to the first avaliable ttySx slot. Secondly spidev overlays creates an instance of spidevX.Y based on the bus specified with armbianEnv.txt however it does not correctly configure the corresponding pins into spi mode. To resolve this the individual spi bus overlays have been include in the makefile. The desired bus must be enabled alongside spidev or seperately if using another spi device driver in order to be functional. I have also corrected the A10 spi overlays where they incorrectly target the A20. How Has This Been Tested?

hi , can i use these image to boot armbian to my s805X Amlogic soc.

Hi, If you are having trouble sourcing a proper serial dongle, you could also try to set (or cap) the serial console's baudrate yourself in armbianEnv.txt. Use/replace the following: console=comfort extraargs=console=ttyS2,115200 earlyprintk=ttyS2,115200 This should prevent your bootscript from setting the kernel's serial baudrate to 1M5 and at least give you some kernel logging during booting. Not sure if the login prompt will follow the same baudrate, as `getty` (or one of it's variants) might use different default settings. Groetjes,

@maka into this file: https://github.com/hqnicolas/ubuntu-rockchip-joshua/blob/main/config/suites/noble.sh it makes refference to the kernel repo: https://github.com/hqnicolas/linux-rockchip that contains the dts file: https://github.com/hqnicolas/linux-rockchip/blob/arm64--dts--rockchip--add-rk3566-h96max-v56/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3566-h96max-v56.dts That have the USB setup: &usb2phy0 { status = "okay"; }; &usb2phy1 { status = "disabled"; }; &usb_host0_ehci { status = "disabled"; }; &usb_host0_ohci { status = "disabled"; }; &usb_host1_ehci { status = "disabled"; }; &usb_host1_ohci { status = "disabled"; }; &usbdrd_dwc3 { dr_mode = "host"; extcon = <&usb2phy0>; status = "okay"; }; &usbdrd30 { status = "okay"; }; &usbhost_dwc3 { status = "okay"; }; &usbhost30 { status = "okay"; }; &pinctrl { usb { vcc5v0_otg_en: vcc5v0-otg-en { rockchip,pins = <0 RK_PA5 RK_FUNC_GPIO &pcfg_pull_none>; }; }; There Are 3 Branches:

Does anyone know if this will be solved in new releases or should we use an old kernel 6.6.75 as alternative? Then the next question : can we avoid an update of the kernel when using the apt command upgrade? Already found the solution: Use armbian-config and disable upgrade of firmware

none of these are Armbian images. We do not support 3rd party OS.

Ok Tks, very hard work with nand. But, ok work for me with sd card. Could you tell me if the Wifi would work?

Can someone share a ready .dtb file with this patch. I am trying to run SPDIF in Tv-Box Vontar X3 with Amlogic S905x3 processor but I can't compile with this patch.
