This method works for me, but I don't change Bluetooth driver's. You can also try command: apt reinstall bluez apt --fix-broken install

All the data above was collected after installing the necessary overlay in rk3318-config and then rebooting...

When using armbian-config to select an overlay ("DTO001")e.g. for uart2, one is offered the full names w/ overlay prefix, e.g. sun7i-a20-uart2. The system adds this to armbianEnv.txt: overlays=sun7i-a20-uart2 But it has also the line overlay_prefix=sun7i-a20 In the end, uart2 is not activated (no output from /dev/ttyS1) - after changing the overlay line to overlays=uart2, I can read from /dev/ttyS1. System is Armbian 25.2.2 stable (bookeworm), Armbian Linux 6.12.20-current-sunxi.

@Nick A I’m using the MiniArch image that was shared here on the forum. From it, I extracted the DTBs, Image, and other boot files, and replaced them in the Armbian image. I also took the bootloader from the MiniArch image and replaced the one in Armbian. With that, I managed to boot into Armbian, but unfortunately, no network adapters were detected.

Incbot, after set device tree option in the rk3318-config, try enter reboot command (don't reset power, need reboot only), then try hciconfig -a

I turned off overlay rockchip-RK3318-box-wlan-ap6330 in armbian-config (not a single overlay was selected here anymore) and selected the rk3318-box-led-conf1 option through rk3318-config (in this case, overlays rk3318-box-led-conf1 and rk3318-box-wlan-ap6334 are connected to boot). A certain Bluetooth block appeared in the text of the armbianmonitor -u output (see new output here), but apparently the driver is still not the same and hciconfig -a does not work (there is no command in the system). Any more ideas?

@Aleqssandro Farias which miniarch image are you using? Because I’m using miniarch patches so the dts should be the same.

Can you compare the device tree between your working system, and from the freshly installed 25.2.3/6.12.22 (write the img in a new microSD) View your device tree with: #(root) dtc -I fs -O dts /sys/firmware/devicetree/base (you need to find out which driver handles the audio, and search for that driver name in the working device tree) Also, check differences in armbianEnv.txt Also, check differences in ".config" in the /boot/ folder (specially anything related to audio) Also check the contents of "dmesg", searching for the audio driver name

Good afternoon @Nick A I managed to make some progress with the ISO you envy. I extracted the DTB used in MiniArch (which worked on the IK316 TV box) and replaced the DTB in its ISO. However, I noticed that the same error persisted. So, I decided to change the bootloader using the following commands: Extracted the working bootloader: $ dd if=MiniArch-20240715-6.14.0-board-h616.tanix_tx6s_axp313-SD-Image.img of=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin bs=1024 skip=8 count=1016 So I injected it into the ISO that you envied me: $ dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Tanix-tx6s-axp313_bookworm_edge_6.12.11.img bs=1024 seek=8 conv=notrunc After that, I got a new log and the TV Box booted, but I believe Armbian didn't start properly — it seems to take me to the U-Boot console.

Ok, this is weird (or maybe expected, I'm a newbie to all of this)... I installed fresh 25.2.3/6.12.22, and audio didn't work. Came here and posted. Then I used armbian-config to roll back the kernel to 24.11.3/6.12.11. After that, audio worked again. Then, I ran apt update && apt upgrade and still audio kept working. I'm right back to 25.2.3/6.12.22 it seems? cat /run/motd.dynamic _ _ _ /_\ _ _ _ __ | |__(_)__ _ _ _ / _ \| '_| ' \| '_ \ / _` | ' \ /_/ \_\_| |_|_|_|_.__/_\__,_|_||_| v25.2.3 for Rockpi S running Armbian Linux 6.12.22-current-rockchip64 Packages: Debian stable (bookworm) IP addresses: (LAN) IPv4: 192.168.1.35, 10.42.0.1 IPv6: 2001:56a:7490:ce00:8dd8:6d59:ca7a:fe87 (WAN) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Performance: Load: 47% Up time: 0 min Memory usage: 31% of 466M CPU temp: 46°C Usage of /: 10% of 59G Commands: Configuration : armbian-config Monitoring : htop uname -a shows: uname -a Linux rp-satellite-xx 6.12.22-current-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 7 08:08:37 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux aplay -l shows: aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: pcm5102a [pcm5102a], device 0: ff300000.i2s-pcm5102a-hifi pcm5102a-hifi-0 [ff300000.i2s-pcm5102a-hifi pcm5102a-hifi-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: analog [analog], device 0: ff320000.i2s-rk3308-hifi ff560000.codec-0 [ff320000.i2s-rk3308-hifi ff560000.codec-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 So, I'm running 6.12.22, and audio is working, but had to do it via apt-upgrade. Any idea why that worked?

Hi @Nick A, This ISO you sent has the same UART log error as the previous one. Here's the log: " U-Boot SPL 2025.01-armbian-2025.01-S6d41-P7151-H8869-V98f7-Bb703-R448a-dirty (Apr 02 2025 - 21:19:05 -0400) DRAM: testing 32-bit width, rank = 2 read calibration failed! testing 32-bit width, rank = 1 read calibration failed! testing 16-bit width, rank = 2 read calibration failed! testing 16-bit width, rank = 1 read calibration failed! This DRAM setup is currently not supported. resetting ... " Right now, the only image that boots properly is the MiniArch one.

Try setting ZRAM_PERCENTAGE=50 where 50 would be half of available memory. Not sure if the builder picks this up. If it doesn't I'd go the customize-image.sh route and use this to modify the /etc/default/armbian-zram-config file just before assembly closure.

Kind people： How to modify the default swap partition size in the configuration file and compile the firmware？？ help help

Well, folks say it is being worked on - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=71025ec7f7767 Decoding works so I was hoping it did progress but may be not.

I have device X10 Plus TV BOX 4/32 same smae Rtv 10x 4/32 How to get file image or build for device It run Allwinner H6 Link product I find fourm but cannot get the file

If Allwinner does not provide C-source code (kernel, libs, ffmpeg, etc) for recent Linux, I consider it as is; no encoding on Allwinner SoCs. I have several H3 boards, I also dreamed that I once maybe could use that for HEVC->H264 transcoding (low power 24/7 multiple TV channels) but it is not happening. I spent a lot of time to get it working on Pi4 and that breaks at various distro updates or just kernel updates. But RPL then hacks/fixes it in their custom ffmpeg, but it is only Pi4 and also limited, Pi5 has no HW encoding so even they as biggest SBC company give up on it I would say. Rockchip and Intel have fairly easy out-of-the-box solutions, but both not V4L2m2m.

Which image are you using? Axp313? https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/download/20250306/Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Tanix-tx6s-axp313_bookworm_edge_6.12.11.img.xz

@Aleqssandro Farias your miniarch image says it’s using Tanix TX6s (axp313). Try the armbian version. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/download/20250306/Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Tanix-tx6s-axp313_bookworm_edge_6.12.11.img.xz

I have one on a shelf and want to use it for h265->h264 transcoding. http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-One-Plus.html says it can. H6 Quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex™-A53 Decoding: H265/HEVC Main/Main10 profile@Level5.2 High-tier ;4K@60fps, up to 6Kx4K@30fps Encoding: H.264 BP/MP/HP encoder up to 4K@25fps or 1080p@60fps Googling finds some old branches of ffmpeg and kernel for H3. Current armbian 25.2.3 comes with 6.12.20-current-sunxi64 which has: sunxi_cedrus v4l2_mem2mem videobuf2_dma_contig videobuf2_v4l2 videodev videobuf2_common mc so the kernel seems to be aware of my specific chip (hence sunxi_cedrus) and modern Kodi seems to support decoding but nothing about encoding. Is that it, encoding is just not supported and my Pi is only good as a player? ps. sadly there is no One Plus specific forum and no common Sunxi forum and for some reason I must choose one of the boards and hence Quadra which seems using H6.

Hello, we have tried wifi and it is working fine https://www.armbian.com/armsom-sige5/

AFAIR someone on this forum also experienced booting issue with orange pi board though 4 not 5 with quite similar symptoms. May be worth contacting that person for his results so far - might give some hints on what's going on and whether it's a manufacturing fault

Hm if an image works but self-made won't either means something has been messed up which I doubt since it fails at uboot level. Or a change in the code broke it in the mean time. Also interesting that kernel building fails when RKNPU is a module rather than built-in. I guess that goes to poor implementation on Rockchip's side. Which exact pre-built image did you test that works well? This is quite old. We had a few version bumps in the mean time. More recent vendor kernels should already contain 0.9.8 What you could also try is to integrated the most recent patch series for mainline npu driver into edge kernel: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-rockchip/cover/20250519-6-10-rocket-v4-0-d6dff6b4c0ae@tomeuvizoso.net/

Yes, DB9 won't work. But if, as eselarm mentions, a proper chip is on board already a simple usb-a to usb-c or c-to-c cable should do. Check dmesg when connection to see what pops up.

These things can happen, yes. Sometimes old vendor-style uboot cannot process a modern mainline kernel and vice versa. Glad to hear it worked well this time.

Hi, I am currently using rock-5-itx to setup a NAS. Everything is working fine. uname -a: Linux amberbyte 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx #1 SMP Thu Nov 28 03:16:11 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux Now, I wanted to update RKNPU version from 0.9.7 to 0.9.8. So, again I recompiled the image with the updated drivers. Using Pi-imager flashed it onto an SD card. When I tried to boot I am getting the following error message from the serial output: ./compile.sh build BOARD=rock-5-itx BRANCH=vendor BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes RELEASE=bookworm DDR 9fffbe1e78 cym 24/02/04-10:09:20,fwver: v1.16 LPDDR5, 2400MHz channel[0] BW=16 Col=10 Bk=16 CS0 Row=16 CS1 Row=16 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=4096MB channel[1] BW=16 Col=10 Bk=16 CS0 Row=16 CS1 Row=16 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=4096MB channel[2] BW=16 Col=10 Bk=16 CS0 Row=16 CS1 Row=16 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=4096MB channel[3] BW=16 Col=10 Bk=16 CS0 Row=16 CS1 Row=16 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=4096MB Manufacturer ID:CH0 RX Vref:26.3%, TX Vref:21.0%,21.0% CH1 RX Vref:27.1%, TX Vref:22.0%,22.0% CH2 RX Vref:27.1%, TX Vref:24.0%,21.0% CH3 RX Vref:27.5%, TX Vref:21.0%,20.0% change to F1: 534MHz change to F2: 1320MHz change to F3: 1968MHz change to F0: 2400MHz out U-Boot SPL board init U-Boot SPL 2017.09-armbian-2017.09-S2284-P8c48-Hfac6-Ve5ad-Bda0a-R448a (Nov 20 2024 - 17:06:35) Trying to boot from MMC2 spl: partition error Trying fit image at 0x4000 sector ## Verified-boot: 0 ## Checking atf-1 0x00040000 ... sha256(7612223b82...) + OK ## Checking uboot 0x00200000 ... sha256(af1962bdff...) + OK ## Checking fdt 0x00324010 ... sha256(e3b0c44298...) + OK fdt_record_loadable: FDT_ERR_BADMAGIC ## Checking atf-2 0xff100000 ... sha256(70505bb764...) + OK fdt_record_loadable: FDT_ERR_BADMAGIC ## Checking atf-3 0x000f0000 ... sha256(b2af21b504...) + OK fdt_record_loadable: FDT_ERR_BADMAGIC Jumping to U-Boot(0x00200000) via ARM Trusted Firmware(0x00040000) Total: 813.644/1063.106 ms INFO: Preloader serial: 2 NOTICE: BL31: v2.3():v2.3-868-g040d2de11:derrick.huang, fwver: v1.48 NOTICE: BL31: Built : 15:02:44, Dec 19 2024 INFO: spec: 0x1 INFO: code: 0x88 INFO: ext 32k is not valid INFO: ddr: stride-en 4CH INFO: GICv3 without legacy support detected.
