Hi, In the past I have had reasonable success with installing Armbian on S905x3 TV boxes. Recently I purchased a Bananapi M5 which uses the same processor with the hope of having a more reliable setup. I have tried to run the various versions of the desktop version for this board. The Noble version gets stuck at installation stage. The Cinnamon version takes forever to install but never completes the installation. The Bookworm version install very slowly but only to command line mode. On the other hand, Ubuntu Mate from the BananaPi site installs pretty fast and most, but not all, packages can be run satisfactorily. Any idea what is going on?

@jock. Yes it is weird, but i did not used the tbs one. Concerning the update of the TBS drivers, this is a bit out of my control, but I could as well raise the issue there and see what happens. Thanks to be proactive as I agree that twists are not long term solutions.

I have never flashed rockchip before, but have the appropriate software (+ drivers) for it, + done plenty of research I have a few different firmware sets, but the copy I have specifically for this device is uncompiled (separate boot.img etc. files) My concern is whether I accidentally deleted the userdata partition, as the firmware set I have doesn't include a .img for it. However, I will accessing a secondary device in the coming weeks (which I plan to extract / backup everything I need from) I am 100% open to any advice and assistance you might offer though, I'm grateful for any help that I can get!

After applying the following changes I was able to obtain the temperatures in my OPI5. https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/pull/1411/files#diff-cd34c934b018d562cd6c276738f8e4ff18638bff20de91ef057e83a425dd68a1 Thank

Hello, I am trying to create a custom uboot using armbian. it's possible? I am using the following command but I cannot generate the "uboot.bin" to save it to the spi: ./compile.sh uboot-config BOARD=orangepi5 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_ONLY=u-boot CONFIGURATION=stable KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_ONLY=no PROGRESS_DISPLAY=plain RELEASE=bookworm UBOOT_ONLY=yes Thank.

did you have the firmware? know how to flash?

I do not seem to have the option to do this (Maybe a permission / new account restriction?) I have attempted both on mobile and desktop

@royk I will try another ISO that has the kernel you mention Armbian 24.5.1 bookworm vendor 6.1.43 minimal. Thanks Can I suggest some guide showing which isos are working or the ones that have less problems with this type of sbc?

@Manuel Carvajal With the 6.1 kernel I don't have issues with docker compose: Home Assistant and Frigate

And when changing kernel to 5.1 or the other you mention, is there any known error in the Orange pi5+? Since I installed open media vault 7 and with the previous isos with other kernel could not run docker compose 🥲

Can't really get a clue about the issue. I mean, in the mainline kernel cma_alloc seems to be used in a non-core driver, altough it is very seldom used: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/A/ident/cma_alloc so I guess that's not something client drivers should use. Going back to rockchip 5.10 vendor kernel source code laying on my notebook I see: paolo@armbian-build:~/rk3528/linux-rockchip/mm$ rgrep -IH 'cma_' | grep EXPORT cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_get_name); cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_alloc); cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_release); cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_used_pages); cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_for_each_area); But those EXPORTs are not present in the mainline 5.10 kernel... This old LWN article perhaps explain the rationale: and things like dma_alloc_coherent() should be called instead: there are hundreds of references to that, and it's far easier call too. Perhaps the driver should be fixed to use the proper API, as exporting those symbols actually seems a violation to me. I don't have a rational opinion on including those small patches in the armbian vendor kernel; vendor kernel often host many of those shortcuts; unfortunately shortcuts are one of the reasons they are also hard to maintain. The ideal would fix the driver. edit: it puzzles me that the kernel linked by @Tony3 does not contain those EXPORTs either: https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/blob/latest/mm/cma.c

@Manuel Carvajal Sorry I didn't read that you were using the 6.8 kernel. With the mainline kernel not everything works yet. With the Rockchip kernel (5.10.x and 6.1) it will work.

I'm just not aware of this topic (satellite TV). @Igor @jock The changes in the published patches seem insignificant. Does it make sense to add them to the build system?

@royk Hello Edit the file back to: verbosity=1 bootlogo=false console=both overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3588 fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588-orangepi-5-plus.dtb rootdev=UUID=2c94c41f-b026-4717-82a6-3c0d968e559e rootfstype=ext4 overlays=sata1 sata2 user_overlays=orangepi-5-plus-pwmfan usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u,0x0bc2:0xab45:u,0x0bc2:0xab44:u #overlays=pwm0-m0 pwm0-m1 pwm0-m2 pwm1-m0 pwm1-m1 pwm1-m2 sata1 sata2 And also I attach a picture of how the fan is connected. Rebooted the system without showing any change 🥲 Thanks for your help

Yes it was to support TBS satellite tuners, surprised?

Did I understand correctly? The ultimate goal of this work was to support TBS in the kernel?

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Armbian. It might be better to post your question somewhere else.

After trying to update using an SD card, my box powers on but does not send anything to display. I have previously tried to flash using USB 2 cable with the USB burning tool but I get a "Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initailize status/USB Control setup error" message at 2%. I have tried 3 different files to the same effect, hence why I used SD cars and I am unable to fix the box using the USB tool. I need a boot image so I can try to fix it via SD card but I cannot find one anywhere. Please does anyone have a boot image I can use or can point out where I can find one or a way of fixing this by SD image?

as an experienced TvBox GUI, for the sake of your sanity: keep out of TVbox! Banana Pi will launch BPI-M5 Pro with Rockchip RK3576 it will be an great Start point.....

Please change the Topic name to add Supernote Nomad (A6X2)

Update for current kernels (running linux 6.6.31 now): device and mixer_device need to change: audio_output { type "alsa" name "BananaPi BuiltIn" device "hw:1,0" mixer_type "hardware" mixer_device "hw:1" mixer_control "Power Amplifier" } Or to (hopefully) protect from future renumberings: audio_output { type "alsa" name "BananaPi BuiltIn" device "hw:CARD=sun4icodec,DEV=0" mixer_type "hardware" mixer_device "hw:sun4icodec" mixer_control "Power Amplifier" } See here for explanation of the device names to use in mpd with alsa: https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/374#issuecomment-432663715

First of all thanks to have helped me on that matter. I found out what the issue was. When switching some option to M, some code had to be patched as it sounds like it was not expecting to become module or calling a module. The general root cause is that some C code is missing instruction like "MODULE_IMPORT_NS(DMA_BUF);", to use module symbols of another module or like "EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dma_contiguous_default_area);" to make some symbols available to other modules. After making the whole "Media support" branch as a module, I had to make the attached patchs and apply them to my linux kernel 6.1 V24.05 by copying them in the directory build/userpatches/kernel/rk35xx-vendor-6.1 After doing that all went fine, I got the new Armbian Kernel built, and was able to compile the tbs drivers against it by following instruction there https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki All drivers working fine with tvheadend and using Kodi as a viewer (with hardware acceleration) At the end, I am impressed that it worked that well, thanks to Armbian to make the building of a kernel so easy. cma.patch contiguous.patch f_uvc.patch
