FYI. HDMI out is broken on those board at the moment. Try to access the board remotely. We don't have people to maintain those old boards.

I've noticed some other threads about Banana Pi builds not booting. I tried the 6.12v built on Jun 19 and that's when my device stopped booting. It won't even power on. I suspect the firmware update is corrupting the MicroSD card. I originally had an older build running and ran an update/upgrade and my system wouldn't boot (won't power on) after that. I purchased a new MicroSD card, and my system booted with an older build. Not realizing my MicroSD would get corrupted, I tried updating/upgrading again and I'm back to not booting. I don't have enough MicroSD cards to pinpoint the exact package. My working build is from 6.6.17, 24.5.0-trunk.58. It appears the archive is even older than that! Is there any way to revive a MicroSD card? I'm using SDFormatter to prep the card and Win32DiskImager to write the image.

Help wanted to test a new OpenVFD alternative
Jean-Francois Lessard replied to Jean-Francois Lessard's topic in Amlogic meson
Your commands looks ok, but you need to use hk1-x3, not hk1-box Your runtime device-tree do contains the display-controller under /proc/device-tree/i2c-display. So your correctly copying your dtb, but device-tree/i2c-display/sda-gpios and device-tree/i2c-display/scl-gpios shows pin of hk1-box, not hk1-x3. You also need to remove any references to OpenVFD from your device tree. This will create conflicts if you have multiple nodes using the same pins. Your dmesg also has some messages about the i2c bus on which is connected your display controller: [ 3.787786] gpio-576 (sda): enforced open drain please flag it properly in DT/ACPI DSDT/board file [ 3.792897] gpio-577 (scl): enforced open drain please flag it properly in DT/ACPI DSDT/board file [ 3.802509] i2c-gpio i2c-display: using lines 576 (SDA) and 577 (SCL) If course, you need to first configure the right pins by using hk1-x3 (and removing openvfd). Then you can investigate remaining i2c issues, if any. -

Here are the actions I take with the dtb file. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here? # cd /home/INSTALKI # git clone https://github.com/jefflessard/tm16xx-display.git # cd tm16xx-display # cp /boot/dtb/amlogic/meson-sm1-x96-air-gbit.dtb original.dtb # make hk1-box.dtb ORIGINAL_DTB=original.dtb # cp release/hk1-box.dtb /boot/dtb/amlogic/meson-sm1-x96-air-gbit.dtb # reboot -

In the /proc/device-tree directory I do not see any "tm16xx" entry but there is an "openvfd" entry. Attached is the /proc/device-tree directory and the dmesg output. device-tree.tar.gz dmseg.txt -
looks like a kernel oops does the unit run properly afterwards?

Sipeed LonganPi 3H - No boot due to thermal errors
laibsch replied to Mechano's topic in Allwinner sunxi
Thank you for that information. From a cursory look, it seems as if that is only binary images, no source (violating GPL). -
I will try to make that easier and more automatic with APA, eventually.

@KrzyPacu your Android DTS confirms the pinout of hk1-x3 fd628_dev { compatible = "amlogic,fd628_dev"; fd628_gpio_clk = <0x12 0x41 0x00>; fd628_gpio_dat = <0x12 0x40 0x00>; status = "okay"; }; 0x40 is data pin 64 0x41 is clock pin 65 So there must be something wrong with how you are copying the dtb to boot. Maybe to the wrong location. Ensure you have the proper dtb loaded at runtime by inspecting /proc/device-tree - Yesterday

Cubieboard 1 - No display output when booting Debian 12 image
Shakai2 replied to Shakai2's topic in Allwinner sunxi
While searching the forum and the documentation, I found the list of mirrors. On some of them, it's possible to find an older version of Armbian (23.11.1). I installed that version and it seems the drivers are working — I was able to use HDMI. This is the mirror I used: https://armbian.atomonetworks.com/archive/cubieboard/archive/ -
Please, I need an img of Armbian compatible with the following: RK3399T and with HDMI. I have tried all versions of Armbian and they do not work. Some do, but the problem is that it does not display an image. I believe it could be the HDMI. The most preferable versions for me are Armbian Noble or Bookworm. The problem also occurs during updates. After updating, the wireless does not work. If there is a version with this fixed, I would be grateful if someone could post a version for me, as up-to-date as possible. My Radxa is a Rock Pi 4Plus v1.73. With a 256GB microSD, I need an img of Armbian that is compatible with wireless and HDMI. If anyone can send me the link, I would be grateful!

True. Also on most computers we have eth0 Not just eth Devices naming is a cosmetic thing from the outside / user perspection, while it has consistency issue from the inside and currently breaks initial (default netplan) configuration. Our job is not to tell user how to configure his network, but that network devices gets up at first boot. Now they do. Job done.

I am not sure if this line in the yaml file makes sense: all-wan-interfaces: # include interfaces that are renamed to 'wanX' by udev, e.g. nanopi-r1 There is usually only 1 WAN interface on routers. The print on my R6C is "WAN" and "LAN1". WAN is clearly the Rockchip GMAC. Actually I use it as 'LAN', as the only RJ45 cable. Only temporary I also use the PCI-E / 2.5GbE port while bridging with the GMAC, so I have a real 2.5GbE port as peer for my ROCK5B (just for speedtests). For the R5C, the Rockchip GMAC is not used. A rename from WAN to WAN1 I would refuse, but I do not use netplan.io, so not affected. I have the R6C now flashed with EDK2-UEFI and running Tumbleweed. 70-persistent-net.rules is empty, but Armbian 6.15.2-edge-rockchip64 kernel. I am not sure why the naming is still OK (wan and lan1, so my .nmconnection files keep working). With other kernel it gets end0 and enP3p49s0, I might use those eventually, ignoring what is printed on the case, depends how often I am going to unplug/plug network cables. For the R5C, the ports in the schematics are named "LAN1" and "LAN2", not sure how they map to what is printed on the case. They are each 1 lane of the PCIE3x2, that might be a problem for some kernel and/or bootloader.

Hi Loeriver, Where is the other end of your USB serial dongle connected to? Can you check there if the dongle had disappeard from the USB bus and re-appeared around the same time? In my "professional" life we have had workstations mysteriously reboot whenever we would power cycle the device hosting the USB to serial device. Even though you say it's not related, if this is still mysterious, best to check under each stone... Groetjes,

Thank you for this very helpful hint. I have installed auditd, I thought I have to systemctl (start, enable) auditd also to have it watching: but this seems to have been done by the install cmd already, as it is running. As I saw a burst of 7225 (!) sysrq messages in the log for 2025-06-18, between 08:55 and 09:50 again I am rather nervous about this topic. Since then no new messages again. Mysterious ... Greetings.

From the picture - I can only guess that kernel package was somehow not upgraded properly as kernel image files are missing. Perhaps they were removed by accident or there was some disk / file system troubles involved. @Chris007 Try hints from here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Troubleshooting/
