All are interesting. However, H3, H5 and H6 boards will receive additional fixing to DVFS during this week. After that, I will rebuild them, but those are all CSC, so there are additional tasks: We only generate and test boards with at least "standard support", where a known maintainer is around. If you (or someone else) step up as a maintainer: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/ following by PR as such https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8981 boards will automatically be added to automatically generated build lists https://github.armbian.com/release-targets/targets-release-standard-support.yaml and images can be (auto) generated: https://docs.armbian.com/Process_CI/#automation-for-developers-and-maintainers If you wanna cover those steps, report status at release periods, step up. In most cases, boards work but during those tests we usually always found something to fix. And boot loader compilation is checked this way - end user upgrades don't upgrade that by default so you could be running a board for years while freshly build images would have borked uboot ... Perfect - new use case: Armbian QA

Great! It's working now, sorry, I made it too complex previously.

Can you see this post? Please write at least a letter.

I will check soon and maybe migrate it to mainline uboot @Igor Can you do a double check if your board have the same issue? NanoPi R76S: Kernel: Vendor (6.1) Variant: Desktop - Gnome What was tested: GPU works as expected WI-FI Card works as expected eMMC and SD Card works as expected Ethernets: 2x 2.5GbE works as expected HDMI both works as expected AUDIO: HDMI works as expected

I have an Orange Pi Zero 3, Opi z2w, Opi z LTS, and Banana Pi M2 Zero. If the OS image is not in your download page, does it mean you don't need help with these boards? I didn't have any problems with opiz3 Armbian.com or self built image ever (last time I tried was 2 months ago). The others: haven't used in 1 year.

@maxsub no, its hacked. At least from my side. For us, that GPU stuff is closed, patented, tighly licensed and so on. LG // Sven-Ola

@Nick A Yes, I used the MT7601U for a few days, but I wasn’t really satisfied with it. So, with the help of AI, I decided to port the SV6256P anyway—and to my surprise, it actually worked.

@jock The driver-related knowledge is vast and quite complicated, with many pitfalls, so porting really requires strong assistance from AI. I don’t have an SSV6051, so I can’t actually complete the porting myself. Btw, the "ssv6x5x-sw.bin" I’m using is the file you posted on the forum.

So this is built fully from source by patching the xunlong source onto the edge code base? Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_trixie_edge_6.18.8_minimal+Orangepirv2_1.0.0_ubuntu_noble_desktop_gnome_linux6.6.63.img.xz

I've made some improvements of .dts for H96 MAX M9S, tested on Linux version 6.19.0-edge-rockchip64 (build@armbian) What's new: GPU working USB 3.0 mode working Currently working: both USB ports, incl. USB 3.0 mode GPU (using Panfrost driver) HDMI (audio+video) Ethernet port Wifi (using aic8800 DKMS drivers provided by https://github.com/radxa-pkg/aic8800/releases) Leds Not working: NPU Bluetooth S/PDIF rk3576-evb1-v10-main-h96-v5.dts dmesg-19.0.txt

my bricked tvbox into fel mode, Using linux-fexi tools, I tested my usb2ttl on my tvbox , without any output. I do not know why? Test command: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools sunxi-fel -p write 0x4000 uart0-helloworld-sdboot.sunxi (succeed) sunxi-fel -p exec 0x4000 picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

Hello friends, in general, a friend gave me an x96q TV set-top box, I want to install armbian on it and then install klipper and use it on my 3d printer, I'm not good at this, maybe someone can help

My USB2TTL is tested on other tvbox such as Amlogic tvbox, works

Yeah, don't do that.. At least read "<application> --help" before doing sensitive stuff like that if you are unfamiliar. If that happened to you, and that is the reason you typed that.. For future reference: If you have a root account, you can change to root user with "su root" and enter passwd. You are then root and can add your user back to the groups needed. Or you can use the debian "child safe" way, "adduser <user> <group>" (only works on already existing users and groups) instead of usermod to begin with. But best is you learn usermod, since that will let you utilize that knowledge on pretty much any unix system.

@Kevin su Excellent work! Porting the SV6256P driver all the way to kernel 6.12 is a huge achievement. Most users usually just give up and plug in a USB Wi-Fi adapter to avoid the headache of legacy drivers.

@marcosdsdba

What does that mean? What did you do?

I have a nice armbian image on an SSD on a rock5b board. I want to copy it to an sd card for cloning on other boards. Does anyone know how this can be done? It doesn't come out via dd

Hello, congratulations for your achievement! I wonder if you had the chance to give a shot to the ssv6051 sibling... the original drivers (one for ssv6051 and another for ssv6x5x) were really a mess that @ilmich and me did a lot of work at the time to cleanup and fix things in the past time. We concentrated against the ssv6051 driver at the time and in fact the ssv6051 driver already works in mainline kernel (it is in the rockchip 32bit patch directory), although it is still quite a mess. Here it is the repository if you want to take a look to the commits. We also started an attempt to do a clean and proper reimplementation of the ssv6xxx driver, but actually never went over firmware loading (the repo is private since it was a heavy WIP, but can share if you have enough will to take a look to that)

Lately, I've been playing around a bit with computer vision detection. I managed to patch together a PoC script with which I conducted some tests. The results are quite promising. The frame rate is just based on the round trip time of my test script, so it only roughly reflects the inference time. The throughput includes all additional overhead but is sufficiently informative for a relative comparison. Inference on a single CPU core delivers an image throughput of about 4 images: Inference on a single NPU core delivers an image throughput of about 17 images: Inference on eight CPU cores delivers an image throughput of about 21 images. But all eight cores run over 80% during this, and after a short time the fan kicks in. The headroom is also quite limited, for e.g., to perform other tasks concurrently. Running several similar inference tasks concurrently immediately results in a proportional drop in frame rate per task. When six similar inference tasks are executed simultaneously with NPU delegates, they are distributed across the three available NPU cores, and the SoC utilization is moderate enough that the fan doesn't even turn on. The throughput does not degrade and the CPU cores remain available for other tasks as well: For my tests, I used a random video clip. For the inference, I used a model pre-trained with the COCO dataset. With its 4.1MB memory size and its 80 object classes, it delivers surprisingly good results. Using the NPU hardware not only reduces the load on the CPU cores but also provides additional acceleration of processing. But the best part is that only current mainline code is required for use. No dependencies on proprietary implementations or outdated software stacks. It just works out-of-the-box, you just need to know how to use it.

That "rvdisplay" string is found in the following files: libVK_IMG.so, libsutu_display.so, and libpvr_dri_support.so. When comparing the OpiRV2 versions of these files with https://gitee.com/spacemit-buildroot/img-gpu-powervr I got 9a640=spacemit vs 9a2d0=rvdisplay. Thus, Xunlong has source code for these (different offsets, rvdisplay is one char longer). So no need to hack Armbian kernel, I presume GPU works if we use *.so from gitee repo. HTH // Sven-Ola

@c0rnelius then the GPU probably works, since without GPU e.g the Bianbu first time wizard (language, kbd, timezone, user) needs 20 minutes while uptime reports load=10. I'm damn sure you have noticed an extraslow GUI
