Debian is "cleaner" and more true to the gnome desktop. Also, Ubuntu uses snaps, which is removed in Armbian and replaced with Debian packages, like Chromium. It's like a mix of two distros. But, I'll be happy with one working distro

Ubuntu is not just Debian. Ubuntu has very different policies and sits on top of Debian. For example, Ubuntu is more tolerant with regards to binary blobs and it very much possible that this would explain your finding. I guess the question you should answer first is why not simply use Ubuntu if it works for your and Debian does not?

The armbian Khadas Edge 2 Noble image seems to be corrupted? its literally impossible to extract.

I have now been able to build server images for Raspberry Pi 5B and Radxa 5C, both having gpu hardware driver support. However, this only works with Ubuntu Noble as a distro base. I would also like to make Debian Bookworm images, but when I do, I never get any gpu hardware driver support. Why is that? What's so special about Ubuntu (which basically is Debian)?

wireless-regdb is already installed and apt returns E: Unable to locate package crda for crda. Thanks for trying to help

Some chips that support 1.5Mbaud and more: - FT232R - CH340G - CP2104

GPU blacklisted the panfrost module Has it been resolved？ Thank you

Hah - thank you for pointing that out - I completely overlooked the rate listed in the part’s title. Do you happen to know of a similar part that supports the baud rate of these devices?

Anyone managed to get the OTG port do USB peripheral stuff (gadgets)? I installed the latest armbian for rk322x on github armbian community. Looking at the kernel config, it looks like all the OTG stuff are set to Y by default now, execute armbian-config and set the dtb to rk322x-usb-otg-peripheral and reboot the system but alas, it still doesnt work with dmesg output pertaining that "Can't find any UCD" when executing "modprobe g_mass_storage file=/test.img luns=1 stall=0 ro=0 cdrom=0 removable=1". A little bit googling someone managed to get it working, I tried to follow what he did (but in more recent build of armbian instead of the legacy one), alas didnt managed to get it working. Using the provided rk322x-4.4 dtb file result of bricking my armbian install. My main goal here is to get that kvmd (pi-kvm port for armbian) working with rk322x.

try: sudo apt update sudo apt install wireless-regdb crda

I'm using debian, no access to windows. with RX-TX locked adapter sends echos, but no data from box. will tryCH340G once it arrives, cause I saw in this post was same issue.

It's the link up/down problem. Never seen this under bullseye but it happens on bookworm

after some research i have (finally) found the original archives form balbes. they can also been burn to the internal eemc. with some work you can run bookworm with kernel 3.10.99 (dont ask why) from the internal storage... https://archive.org/details/amlogic-s805-linux tks for 0jw4tts witch uploaded those files to archive.og !!!

Guys, does anyone know how to enable the TV Box's wifi with the ik316 process? I downloaded armbian, the only thing missing is wifi. Data transmission works with a network cable, only the wifi is having problems. The iso I downloaded was Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-lpddr3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz

No logs - no issue. https://debug.armbian.de

Be aware that the answer might depend on the filesystem you are using on your board Be aware that a resize operation can easily destroy your data or at least make it inaccessible have a look at shrink-backup for "reverse"

May 15 versions not booting

On the ROCK 5B+, I am getting the following error at boot [ 12.361648] cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database [ 12.389297] cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee: 00b28ddf47aef9cea7' [ 12.390688] cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'wens: 61c038651aabdcf94bd0ac7ff06c7248db18c600' [ 12.392699] cfg80211: loaded regulatory.db is malformed or signature is missing/invalid I believe this is the cause of being unable to set the regulatory region for WiFi. Running sudo iw reg get returns global country 00: DFS-UNSET even after running sudo iw reg set GB

I think it is this script: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/packages/bsp/common/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-resize-filesystem There might be a switch or option to prevent resize, need to check documentation. Or do manually after expansion: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/656836/how-do-i-shrink-a-partition-right-after-shrinking-its-filesystem-with-resize2fs

Armbian is written to a µSD card as a small file (a gig or two if I recall). If the card is 64gigs, the image is still just a few gigs written to that card. When booted on the device, though, it automatically expands the file system to the full size of the card. How exactly does it do that? And... How do I do the reverse? Take the file system from a working armbian install and create a small image that when written to a µSD card, will stay small, but then auto-expand when booted on a device?

@Popolon indeed this issue rot for a long time. I cleaned up my backlog to have more time for armbian. Also I still have quite a few processes to learn about armbian board maintenance still to this day. But you confirm that with mainline 6.12 all is fine ? But, indeed no HDMI out and no audio. I still have a patch for mainline 6.12 in the pipe about a race condition between SATA chip and nvme as far as I remind. I will prioritize data vendor kernel debugging if this mainline patch is not required (and indeed mainline still lacks any multimedia capability, this might be a showstopper for most users) even though I am close to complete testing and send PR for this one. As of now I have confirmed that this mainline patch set does not help vendor as the vendor branch has a hack that workaround the issue that mainline faces about this SATA/nvme race.

I haven't checked yet, first of all I was interested in the main core of 6.15

Tried again kernel 6.12, still no display, and it looks, like SATA instability depend on kernel version for 6.1 and have to stop/start several time the power to have it work on recent one. A bit tired of this too. It will probably not be good for the hardware to start/shutdown several time the power. After SATA disks are up they work parfectly. Looks like a power management bug, but not sure?

Did you give BSP kernel source 6.6 a try?

100mbps is enough for all my projects. if not, there are some usb3 gigabit adapters
