Hi @Nick A, the armbian in afiftyp board just see 2GB to, at least it was this way in 2024 when he sent me his boot log. My board is very similar to afiftyp board, except of a number near the QC sticker, that looks like a version number. afiftyp number is 2336 and the mine is 2333. The amout of memory chips is identical to (8 chips), but tha labels is a litle different, but I cant found the label meaning. I use your image since very old one, so I don't think it is about u-boot update, but I could try an older one. About Secure Boot, A patch that you give me solved it and it isn't a problem any more (thanks again for it). @afiftyp, if I'm wrong and you already solve your rom amount in armbian, please let us know and if you could, explain us what you did to solve it, thanks.

Hi Ryzer, hi Igor, I was out of town for a while, but recently I could try out the new Armbian release v25.8.1, which incorporates the changes made by Ryzer. I chose kernel version 6.15 and did get an HDMI output on a Dell 21,5" monitor. So I managed to configure the pcduino2 for its purpose and I am using it again after many years. Excellent! Thank you so much for all your efforts! Great to be back as an Armbian user. Just as a side note: I was first trying with my Dell UltraSharp 34" monitor and there the HDMI output still does not work. I does work with the old Armbian 5.38 version for pcduino2 from the archives and also with Raspberry Pi 3 using a recent version of Raspberry Pi OS. Anyway, this is just for information. I do not think it is worth investigating this issue.

Something like git clone https://github.com/armbian/build.git -b main cd build git remote add -f imx8mp-build https://github.com/OLIMEX/imx8mp-build.git git remote update git fetch origin git fetch imx8mp-build git checkout main git rebase imx8mp-build/bookworm # fix conflict vi VERSION git add VERSION git rebase --continue # fix conflict vi .github/dependabot.yml git add .github/dependabot.yml git rebase --continue git log

They certainly did fork armbian, apparently at tag v24.11.1 AKA dd379da888f7d114f9f954d94a7ebcf261d179e5 $ git merge-base dd379da888f7d114f9f954d94a7ebcf261d179e5 main 017549347bb8c278a067d1be14c2f1b3538690c2 Add the Olimex repo as a remote and then rebase the latest armbian/build HEAD to their HEAD.

I uploaded an updated version of the package bundle, with MPV and a few other updates that I found laying around: https://mega.nz/file/ZmwDBL6b#pGgXVRnoC0jU6dwFJebBcLDXyTNqdkmw3qvsOLz5qUI

An update. I suspect that the issue (or at least 1 issue) is a regression in the handling of MMC (SD card driver in the kernel). I suspect this is a regression as this issue did not hit me on earlier builds. I set up a netconsole, and received the following stack trace: [ 216.236507] I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 849688 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x84700 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [ 216.524566] EXT4-fs warning (device mmcblk0p2): ext4_end_bio:353: I/O error 10 writing to inode 131108 starting block 323201) [ 216.534718] EXT4-fs warning (device mmcblk0p2): ext4_end_bio:353: I/O error 10 writing to inode 131109 starting block 323202) [ 216.544920] EXT4-fs warning (device mmcblk0p2): ext4_end_bio:353: I/O error 10 writing to inode 131110 starting block 323203) [ 216.560591] EXT4-fs warning (device mmcblk0p2): ext4_end_bio:353: I/O error 10 writing to inode 131111 starting block 323204) [ 216.575914] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): failed to convert unwritten extents to written extents -- potential data loss!

I have already ruled out faulty SD card (happens on any SD card I use, as well as a thorough stress test on the current card prior to use). Further research tells me "The Amlogic Meson8b (S805) SoC’s MMC controller has known quirks." I switched to USB rootfs (external HDD), and I still get the same failure, but as it is just the boot partition being unmounted and remounted the system remains up. Ideally I would propose a patch to fix this, but I am not a kernel developer, and the changes between 3.10 and 6.12 are huge (as to be expected) so identifying what is required and where is non-trivial for me. For now, I am sticking with rootfs on USB as my interim fix, but I am going to keep netconsole up and monitor over the next couple of weeks to see if we hit another issue (when I tested this in the past, I was also getting failures with rootfs on an external USB stick, so I am not convinced I am completely out of the woods yet).

Hi, I’m new to the forum and just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the incredible work Armbian has done for the community. I have been tinkering around with Radxa rock 5 ITX SBC and Armbian. I flashed UEFI EDK2 for Radxa rock 5 ITX  v1.1 from EDK2 porting to RK3588 initiative. While I can install ARM64 version of Ubuntu and Debian, none of them had support for H/W transcoding. So I decided to build an Armbian which used vendor kernel and had `uefi-edk2-3588` extension. Full build report is linked in this Armbian paste ./compile.sh \ BOARD=rock-5-itx \ RELEASE=trixie \ BRANCH=vendor \ BUILD_MINIMAL=yes \ BUILD_DESKTOP=no \ KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no \ NETWORKING_STACK=systemd-networkd \ EXPERT=yes \ CLEAN_LEVEL=extras \ ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=mesa-vpu,uefi-edk2-rk3588 \ KERNEL_BTF=yes \ SHARE_LOG=yes \ CONSOLE_AUTOLOGIN=no \ build I flashed the resulting image to a usb stick and booted system off it. This is when I had encountered problems. armbian-upgrade complained about a readonly system root@rock-5-itx:~# armbian-upgrade Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie InRelease Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-updates InRelease Hit:3 http://security.debian.org trixie-security InRelease Hit:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-backports InRelease Hit:5 https://github.armbian.com/configng stable InRelease Ign:6 http://mirror.twds.com.tw/armbian-apt trixie InRelease Err:7 http://mirror.twds.com.tw/armbian-apt trixie Release Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/apt.armbian.com_dists_trixie_Release -

I am sorry for the long post.

perhaps someone who's more knowledgeable could update the script to work on newer versions than buster, like bookworm or trixie?

@remolaan "...Hey i have a SDMC DV8040 stb ,SoC-Amlogic S805X,CPU-Quad-core 1.2 GHz,GPU-ARM Mali-450,RAM-1GB,Storage-8GB it currently runs custom made android 9..." Please @remolaan, could you send me a working download link for the custom Android 9 system you made?

Hello. I have an old "Ott Amlogic S805 rlt8188 (wifi) 1GB/8GB" so Android 4.4.2 is fully outdated (It is no longer supported by Google, so it is unusable.) Is there an Armbian release that can be installed on "this fossil" 🙂 ?

You can add APA to your system and as one of the benefits get a managed GPG key so you should not run into this issue again in the future.

Armbian 25.8.1 Noble XFCE (mainline Kernel: 6.16.6-edge-rockchip64) + PanVk - mesa 23.0 (https://launchpad.net/~ernstp/+archive/ubuntu/mesaaco) + box64 3.7 (https://ryanfortner.github.io/box64-debs/) + wine-10.15-staging-tkg-ntsync-amd64-wow64 (https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds/releases/tag/10.15) + DXVK-stripped v2.7.1 ~60fps@720p Hades

Hello @Ian Coelho, have you ever got any solution? I got the same issue

As long as you keep the discussion about this at their place... ophub is (ab)using the name Armbian without permission and they do not contribute to the core development process. Rather they trick users into thinking they get support here and therefore (ab)using our resources.

Hi All First post here. Have been using Rpi Zero 2W for a couple of years in various installations and other then speed been happy with it. So got an Orange Pi Zero 2 W in an attempt to use it as a plug in replacement for the Rpi. Installed Armbian and other than a booting issue, it all works. The first obstacle is the i2c, it is obvious that is nowhere near as easy as a Rpi to set up. I have read many posts and get more confused as the days go on. So, the question: Is there a step by step instruction on how to enable I2C. I am connecting 2 x ADS1115 A2D converters, one at &H48 and the 2nd at &H49. When I use i2cdetect -l i2c-0 i2c DesignWare HDMI i2c-1 i2c mv64xxx_i2c Adapter i2c-2 i2c ditto When I use i2cdetect -y 0 &h30 and &h50 show up When I use i2cdetect -y 1 I get UU on &h36 In software, I can do a fd = i2c_open("/dev/i2c-0") or use i2c-1 rc = i2cselect (fd,&h48,0) BUT, I cannot write or read to the device.(obviously because it does not exist according to i2cdetect ) My armbianEnv.txt has overlays=i2c3 changed from i2c0 after reading some posts. dtparam i2c_arm=on In armbian-config /system/kernel/booto001/ I have ticked i2c0-pi and for 2 and 3 as well. So after all that I have no idea how to proceed. Regards EDIT: kern.log has repeated entries as follows: mv64xxx_i2c 5002000 Error applying settings reverse things back

I have the tinkerboard rk3288, where do I find the mpv-legacy

Yeah, I wasn't asking for diagnostics, I realise that this issue could be for a myriad of reasons, just I was sure (before) that it was hardware related, now I'm not so sure. FWIW, it has just happened again less than an hour after boot, so I'm going to pull the card and chroot in to analyse. (I'm a software developer, so am well aware of the 'it don't go, what's wrong?' approach to tech support 😉) Interestingly, I was still logged in on an ssh shell, and I realised there was an issue when it was telling me that `cat` was an unknown command (clearly not!). I logged out, and now got the dreaded "Connection reset by 192.168.1.44 port 22". I also ran a full badblocks pass (4 real passes) on the SD card prior to imaging just to 100% make sure the card is fine. My main concern is that it will not have flushed logs to disk after the issue, so I suspect I will find nothing. ____ Edit: It looks like Armbian has rsync on a schedule to hold logs in RAM and perhaps periodically copy back to HDD. so unfortunately I have no useful info here. Going to look into the Armbian docs and see if I can get it to log directly to disk whilst I test. ______________ Another edit: I managed to disable ramlog, but unfortunately nothing of note has been written to the log files. I have tried connecting a monitor via HDMI, but am getting no output. I am sure this is fixable, but not sure how much I'm prepared to fiddle around with a box that just wants to lock up after some undetermined amount of time. I'm going to install the official Ubuntu 18.04 image (urrrgh) and leave it running for a long while. If that displays the same symptoms, then I can safely say this board is e-waste. If it does not, then I will come back to it and try to get myself an output.

@torz77 Without logs and diagnostic information it's hard to tell what is going on because what you're saying is the equivalent of "it doesn't work" Nonetheless I had the same symptoms when my SDcard was dying (bad sectors here and there). The kernel and network layer was loaded in to memory OK, so pings would work, but ssh calls upon extra binaries and files from the SD card and I was getting I/O errors, hence would result in SSH dying which is the connection refused the client sees. I had to connect mine to a display for the duration of a diagnostic session but thankfully it was easily reproducible so the error glared out. A replacement SD card got me there.

I wonder if that is related to the issue I've been having. Not long after I posted my last message, I hit an issue where the Odroid would stop allowing me to SSH in (connection refused) but would still respond to pings. I tried with many different SD Cards (and USB Hard disks) and the issue would not go away. Could happen after a few hours or a week or so. In the end I just took the device out of service, as I assumed that it was just dying. My Odroid is headless, so can't connect to console to see any potential error messages. I can't remember how far I dug into logs, but I am sure I must have. I have now re-imaged it again, with latest Armbian Stable on Trixie, and will monitor it for further issues. I still suspect the device is dying, but your message has given me hope that it is not. I would be interested to know if anyone else is experiencing similar symptoms. v25.11 rolling for Odroid C1 running Armbian Linux 6.12.47-current-meson Packages: Debian stable (trixie) Support: DIY (custom image)

@Rodrigo Campos @kazekami_him I think @nitrolack and @afiftyp had the same Transpeed M98-8k board. It booted fine with my transpeed image. (other than wifi) They didn't have a board that had secure boot. Check if your board is the same. Maybe you could try my older images. It could be the newer u-boot and patches broke the ram detection? Maybe your board is using a different ram?
