Hi, I tested with the version 25.11.0-trunk.129 and the second network port worked with this. https://paste.armbian.com/hasewoloti

Don't know what to tell you, it is running fine on my boxes and dmesg is clean. Also I cannot see what is your build version since the screenshot is missing the top line of the screen. 🤷‍♂️

This is internal development for our boards, unfortunately, there is no public repository for our kernel.

Please tell me the source of this patch.

Btw, about things turning orange... I had that experience some time ago before I got into Armbian. I did a clean install of Debian Bookworm. Then I tried installing the vendor GPU drivers and packages from the Orange PI company. Their drivers and packages were so horribly hacked / designed that various programs that needed certain SoC features needed to be custom modified to work with those specific vendor drivers. So all versions of those programs needed be held and were non-upgradable if I wanted continued GPU and video acceleration support. Anyway the main GPU driver package, when I installed it myself (instead of whatever secret sorcery their installation did), it turned things orange. Fortunately now, pure Trixie works out of the box on my board (from the Debian installer .iso), except that the kernel needs to be upgraded from their 6.12 to 6.16.3 from trixie-backports. Armbian's edge kernel on an otherwise pure Trixie is even better than Debian's, because it's customized for Rockchip. If you've been doing things like I was trying to before, things have much improved and now simple is better and it works. Also things tend to get really mangled up when upgrading over time - especially major LTS upgrades. Why not try a fresh install of a 25.8.1 Armbian image?

Fix: run armbian-install, then selected “Install/Update the bootloader on SD card (/dev/mmcblk0)”

I have a different board (Orange PI 5 Plus). My experience with the edge is that it works great in Wayland and terribly in X. Also KDE Plasma Wayland is different than Gnome Wayland (and Plasma is buggy in Trixie). So you could try all three combinations and see if one works better than the others. You tried both the stable edge and the rolling edge ...with the same results?

And it did not work out, no sound in the edge 6.16 kernel. I did find : https://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2025/8/7/872/1 to enable HDMI-audio, which is most likely the reason. However the edge also has some graphics distortion (orange glow), so I'm not gaining a lot by applying that patch. Ill let everyone know

Describe what you did before to make it work. Show the DTS, the wiring you connected and the linux version that worked. If you used spidev before, I don't have experience in that. I only have experience with these drivers: panel-mipi-dbi-spi, ili9431 and adafrui-xy... The threads I showed you require you to stop using spidev, since the Linux kernel will communicate directly to the LCD, without a user program. Using both will just make them interfere with each other. If the LCD remains white and doesn't even flicker, and you made it work in an older kernel, then keep that wiring. If the /dev/fb0 exists, it means that linux has taken one SPI output port for display, but you need to make sure that: * and SPI parameters in the DTS are correct, * the gpio to handle the command/data, reset parameters are pointing to valid orange pi pins which are not used by anything else * the high/low polarity of those gpio * the wiring is correct, * the initialization bytes are correct

Hmm... i dont think thats in there anymore due to some spring cleaning, all i have is: armbian-add-overlay armbian-install armbian-upgrade So I navigated to : https://github.com/armbian/configng/blob/main/tools/repository/armbian-config.sources Where I found: https://github.armbian.com/configng/ So I did: echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg] https://github.armbian.com/configng stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian-development.list > /dev/null sudo apt update sudo apt -y install armbian-config Lets hope it works out I totally understand, this problem will solve itself in what looks to be Linux 6.18 coming December.

Kernel 6.1 is Vendor. Kernel 6.12 is Current / Mainline Kernel 6.16 is Edge. It's simple to change to edge. Just run armbian-config (it's available in the menu, or just type it in the command line using sudo). In armbian-config, as you make the selections, you'll find that you keep pressing ENTER until you get to the long list of kernels. Then scroll down to the latest Edge, which as of I last looked was 6.16.4. It may also say Armbian 25.8.1.

Hi, maybe someone will find this patch useful. It adds JPEG and H264 encoding to the main Cedrus driver. Both encoders use a stable stateful API, so they can be used with any multimedia software, such as gstreamer, ffmpeg, etc. gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc pattern=smpte ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080 ! v4l2h264enc ! h264parse ! matroskamux ! filesink location=test_h264.mkv gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! v4l2jpegenc ! matroskamux ! filesink location=test_mjpeg.mkv I tested it on T113 (jpeg) and A40 (jpeg, h264) processors and I think it should work with H3 as well. It doesn't work with 64-bit processors like H616/T507 because their encoders have been updated, and as far as I know, they haven't been reverse-engineered yet. linux-6.12.28-cedrus-enc.patch

Ok, I foud some time to make additional tests. Here is what I found. It fully boots with 'x96q-lpddr3' SD card image if you swap dtb to one of the two: h618-linganpi-3h h618-orngepi2w However in both cases internal Ethernet does not work. I can use USB to ETH converter. Do you see any way to make internal ETH working in this board? In original Android dmesg there is a message about gmac: [ 28.389711] sunxi-gmac gmac1 eth0: eth0: Type(6) PHY ID 00441400 at 0 IRQ poll (gmac1-0:00) Does it sound like a solution?

quoting JPL: Did you see any announcement by the github's owner, about what we can expect from her/his source code? Looking at the content of the file, it seems like we need to download the code from: https://github.com/philipl/mpv#branch=v4l2request or https://github.com/philipl/mpv/tree/v4l2request And include this build-time configuration -Dv4l2request='enabled' I have posted instructions to build MPV on Sept 26 in this thread

Thanks for your comments. I did not touch the regulator@40 values at all - only the opp frequencies in line with suggestions from @prahal and some cache settings. cpufreq sampling_rates were changed to about 40000 (depending on the cluster) for kernels 6.6 by a script in /etc/rc.local. The script does not apply anymore in linux 6.12. Instead of disabling the A72 cluster altogether, reducing the burden on the CPUs during data transfers helps to substantially reduce crashes and avoids triggering the watchdog timer. P.S.: I bought a Rock-5B in October 2022 and I finally migrated everything to it.

TallMan - Thanks for the recommendations. I thought I would try them, and use it as a learning experience for Armbian - I made a hash of it, I think, and sorry, I need some help again. First I looked for kernel 6.16.4 online, and found at least two, with different SHA checksums. Then it occurred to me that perhaps they were listed in Armbios-config, so after reading about it in the documentation, I booted it and eventually found a list of kernels available, so I selected Vendor 6.16.4 and tried to install it. Somewhere I went wrong, but don't know where - the process seemed to be running fine, and something (?) seemed to be installed. Eventually it needed a reboot - but once again I had a brick. I didn't get as far as installing the OS on EMMC or SSD. I reflashed the SD card with vendor kernel 6.1 as previously, to start again from scratch, but am not confident about trying the update again - hence the need for one or two pointers. Sorry about this - your help would be appreciated. Keith

The easiest way to do this is through a chroot (or perhaps systemd-nspawn) but how practical this is will be dependent on your end goals. I do this all the time.

At the risk of speaking too soon, I think I have found the issue. I need to revert some changes, and do some final testing, but hopefully a PR will be inbound to fix this in the next couple of days.

Thanks for your help. I understand I can add my codes while building. However, would it be possible anyway to emulate the SBC on PC from the running image, even on a later stage?

No need to emulate anything. Customization can be done while building. Easiest is via customize-image.sh script in userpatches: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/#user-provided-image-customization-script

Hello, I'm pretty new to Armbian world and still trying to learn how everything works. I have got this Asus Tinker Board R2.0 that I'm trying to use with an Armbian image. However, before flashing the Armbian image to SD and boot from it, is there any way I could emulate the system on my PC, boot from a fresh Armbian ROM, change my preferred settings and install the applications I want, and then transfer the whole "personalised" ROM to an SD and boot from it on my actual Tinker Board. If I need to "initialise" the fresh Armbian ROM on the actual Tinker Board, can I then use the SD card (or an img created from it with Win32 Disk Imager or similar) to emulate it from my PC and work on that? My goal is to create/modify from my PC the image I want to boot from on the actual board, complete with my user, application and all. If it's not possible for the specific Tinker Board, is something like this generally possible for SBCs? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

https://debug.armbian.de tl;dr: get an USB uart adapter and debug via serial console.

Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.
