I am facing the same issue. Trying to solve it also. I have tried to manually point to the boot image in the bootloader but no success. I am wondering are we missing a patch or something for the build environment that is cauing the issue. I am no expert so only speculating

Please help me with building the image. I'm trying to build an image for Retroid Flip 2, which is identical to Pocket 5. I tried building it from WSL and from another ARM64 single-board computer. The image builds successfully, but when booting, there's a U-Boot error that says "no such partition". Build command: ./compile.sh BOARD=retroidpocket-rp5 RELEASE=trixie BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no I also tried RELEASE=noble and various desktop environments, but the error persists. I flash the image to the SD card using Armbian Imager, and the writing process completes successfully. I also tried flashing Batocera Linux, and it works fine. What could be the problem?

@Darkseider I'm not sure if you are replying to OP or me, but if you look above at my comment, you will notice that I did run that command, and included the failing output. tldr; Armbian's latest kernel is built with a newer version of gcc (14) than what Ubuntu 24.04 defaults to (13), and dkms does not like that. So it requires some fixes (not sure what exactly) to actually work. This also doesn't just affect me, but in theory at least, should affect anyone using the Ubuntu images (Debian images default to gcc 14 so they should work)

I found that this is related to the DRAM parameters in u-boot. I modified these parameters and now it can boot on my RADXA Cubie A5E v1.2 with 1GB RAM. However, I am not sure if these parameters are valid for the 2GB/4GB version that uses 0.6V. This is the image with the parameters I modified: radxa-cubie-a5e-armbian-build This is the tool I use to obtain parameters: radxa-cubie-a5e-u-boot

Please tell me what changes do I need to make in the latest armbian image for odroid N2 so that it can boot via petitboot either from the usb or micro sd card. I already have android pie and coreelec on emmc. TIA.

Mainline?

Not necessary, thats the same module from legacy board. This comes from the mainline Linux support for the RK3566, not specifically from the board data. Don't trust your data under any circumstances to this EMMC. Keep your data away from this device.

Hello, i've just tried https://github.com/velvet-os/imagebuilder/releases/tag/230910-02 image, and boots perfectly from sd card in my x96q tv box, allwinner h313 v4.0, is the only image that worked... i've tried them all....my question is how to install it on the internal memory of the box? i've tried from the terminal with root access, but when i hit cd /root/ and ls, nothing happens.... if anybody can give any ideas i will appreciate it... thanks in advance.

Looks like there is a problem with this image. A brand new banana pi m4 berry would not boot from SD. I then tried Bananapi-Armbian_24.8.2_Bpi-m4berry_jammy_legacy_5.4.125_xfce_desktop it boots normally. Kindly review this. Ron

Try those modules for WIFI driver 7.1-rc-4. Now it should work as I have tested on my rock-2a. For HDMI Samsung QP driver... This is a huge work... but who knows it might happen soon

Hello all, Starts with a blank screen and hard crashing, see fault log. Workaround is to use to download the deb. version as can be found on Github: https://github.com/armbian/imager/releases Greets crasharmbianKubuntu26.04

Hi, All. I've make brick X88 PRO B while update firmware. So, I'm trying recoverying from MASK ROM mode, PC recognized Rockchip USB VID/PID, but rockchip tool makes error like below, (in Admin mode with PowerShell or CMD prompt are same, even windows 10/11 ) using tool: GitHub - cpebit/rkdeveloptool-bin --------------------------------------------------------- PS C:\prog\rkdeveloptool-bin-master\bin> .\rkdeveloptool.exe ld DevNo=1 Vid=0x2207,Pid=0x320c,LocationID=201 Maskrom PS C:\prog\rkdeveloptool-bin-master\bin> .\rkdeveloptool.exe rd 3 Reset Device quit, creating comm object failed! --------------------------------------------------------- I'm tryed install a rockchip device driver but it not effects totally. GUI tools (like RKDevTool.exe ) also make error result. Please someone give me a hint that makes progress.... Thank you advance.

Or you could do this. Quick Google search and this worked like a charm for me The Radxa Dragon Q6A on Armbian may lose Wi‑Fi after a kernel upgrade because the AIC8800 Wi‑Fi/BT module's DKMS driver fails to rebuild automatically; users report manually running sudo dpkg-reconfigure aic8800-usb-dkms can restore Wi‑Fi until the next kernel update. After it was done I just did a quick reboot and Wireless and Bluetooth were back.

I wanted to play with: kernel on ubifs or perhaps DAX on erofs. Btw, Amlogic's boy did "job secure". The bootloader must be signed with aml-enc, a x86 binary, differently for SD and NOR flash. Anyways, it makes x00kb of trice encrypted and signed 0s.

I tried different overlays, reduced max-frequency, set rx-(-tx)-bus-width and different mode settings indepently. Is it perhaps driven by gpio regulator instead of fixed 3v3? With a vcc-supply property one line (warning) goes away.

https://github.com/radxa-pkg/u-boot-aw2501 This is the radxa u-boot build. The important build scripts are in the Makefile.local and the ones in the main directory. I believe the patch directory is in the Debian folder. https://github.com/radxa-pkg/u-boot-aw2501/blob/main/.github/local/Makefile.local https://docs.radxa.com/en/cubie/a7a/low-level-dev/build-system/u-boot Use AI to help you figure it out. My armbian build downloads the official uboot deb package. But I also added a directory for custom uboot packages that overrides the official package.

How can we acces the SPI NOR Flash on Odroid HC4? The usual error seems to be the driver, not a thing we can overlay device tree? Id for xt25f128b is implemented. meson-spifc ffd14000.spi: registered host spi0 spi spi0.0: setup mode 0, 8 bits/w, 1000000 Hz max --> 0 spi-nor spi0.0: supply vcc not found, using dummy regulator spi-nor spi0.0: error -95 reading JEDEC ID spi-nor spi0.0: probe with driver spi-nor failed with error -95 meson-spifc ffd14000.spi: registered child spi0.0

Looks like I'm stupid. I can’t figure out which _defconfig is used to compile u-boot for cubie-A7A. I understand that 2022.07 is used as the source, but there is no necessary _defconfig in the configs folder. Accordingly, I don’t understand which file to write a patch for, or which patch to make changes to. I ask for help in writing the required patch.

In case you're interested I’ve uploaded my experiments with the current and edge kernels for my board (X88pro13, RK3528) to GitHub x88pro. LAN and USB are working; HDMI is not. Wifi only in current with aic8800 chip. Device Tree for my Board : userpatches/kernel/archive/rockchip64-.../dt/x88pro.dts might interest you.

This week's work centers on board portfolio expansion, kernel and U-Boot version bumps, and CI and infrastructure hardening across the build and documentation pipelines. Board support saw notable growth with the introduction of the SpacemiT K3 Pico-ITX and Luckfox Nova (RK3308B), alongside a new generic uefi-arm64-dt family and board intended to standardize UEFI device-tree targets. Qualcomm enablement advanced through Radxa Dragon Q6A and Q8B work, including UFS provisioning for Kodiak, EDL-based UFS flashing in the imager, and audioreach topology firmware for sc8280xp. Catalog assets were extended for the MaaXBoard 8ULP, Mellow Fly C5, Xiaomi Sheng, and the new Radxa and SpacemiT boards. On the kernel and bootloader front, rockchip64, meson64, and rpi4b edge branches were promoted to the stable 7.1 series, with the rtl8192eu driver rebuilt and re-enabled against the new tree. U-Boot was refreshed on cm3588-nas, nanopik2-s905, and the Luckfox Nova, while updated DDR, BL31, and BL32 blobs landed for RK3528 and new SPL loaders were published for RV1103, RV1106, and RK3506. Targeted kernel-config work restored md/RAID modules on sunxi, enabled MIPI DBI panels on sunxi64, and added CPUFreq support for the SpacemiT K1. Infrastructure changes focused on resilience and resource control. The git-trees workflow gained bounded retries, escalating timeouts, and Google mirror fallbacks; Docker base-image pulls now retry transient GHCR failures and split host dependencies into per-group apt layers. Image compression caps xz memory and thread usage, the info-gatherer no longer exhausts file descriptors, and a new CI policy enforces transparent backgrounds and object-size limits for board and vendor logos, with offending assets re-cropped. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #UBoot #Qualcomm #Rockchip ChangesActions: Disable debugsym builds. by @vidplace7 in armbian/MorseMicro-DKMS#7Add Board & Vendor logo for the Mellow Fly C5. by @deece in armbian/armbian.github.io#324Add board SpacemiT K3 Pico-ITX. by @pyavitz in armbian/build#10001Add board: Luckfox Nova (RK3308B). by @crackerjacques in armbian/build#9985Add K3 Pico ITX. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#341Add Luckfox Nova board image. by @crackerjacques in armbian/armbian.github.io#332Add MaaXBoard 8ULP board image and Avnet vendor logo. by @govindsi in armbian/armbian.github.io#340Add Radxa Dragon Q8B board image. by @SuperKali in armbian/armbian.github.io#342Add spl_loader bins for RV1103, RV1106, RK3506. by @vidplace7 in armbian/rkbin#46Add Xiaomi Sheng board image. by @code002-2 in armbian/armbian.github.io#337armbian-install: fix boot on UEFI systems. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#9945armbian-upgrade: use apt-get to silence apt CLI-warning noise. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9998artifact-uboot: opt-in cache-bust via UBOOT_HASH_EXTRA for prebuilt blobs. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9995board assets: fix 10 board-image dimensions + square the Huawei logo. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#334ci: board-asset validation — transparent background + object-size + full monthly scan. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#333ci: bound each retry attempt with a 10-minute timeout. by @rpardini in armbian/shallow#8ci: double retry timeout each attempt; fetch from Google mirrors. by @rpardini in armbian/shallow#9ci: enforce MAX_OBJECT_PCT=50 + re-crop the two over-limit board images. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#335ci: make git-trees workflow resilient to network failures. by @rpardini in armbian/shallow#7ci: push image-info data branch direct to github (bypass git cache proxy). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#338ci: vendor logos must be transparent + ≤80% object fill (+ fix the 6 opaque ones). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#336cm3588-nas: u-boot: bump to v2026.07-rc3. by @rpardini in armbian/build#9975docker: retry transient ghcr base-image pulls; guard the auto-pull cronjob. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10006docker: split host deps into per-group apt layers in generated Dockerfile. by @rpardini in armbian/build#9999Feature/sunxi mainline stmmac ac300. by @deece in armbian/build#9952fix(images): hide UFS images from the catalog. by @SuperKali in armbian/imager#157fix(profiles): keep the flash profile picker in sync with Settings. by @SuperKali in armbian/imager#156Flash UFS images to Qualcomm boards over EDL. by @SuperKali in armbian/imager#158image: cap xz compression memory and lower the thread cap. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10005info-gatherer: fix 'Too many open files' from cpu*4 parallel workers. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10014introduce new family uefidt and new board uefi-arm64-dt. by @amazingfate in armbian/build#9923Kodiak: add Radxa Dragon Q6A UFS provisioning XML. by @SuperKali in armbian/qcombin#2luckfox-rk3308b-nova: bump U-Boot to v2026.07-rc4. by @crackerjacques in armbian/build#10010meson64: bleedingedge: enable CONFIG_GPIO_CDEV_V1. by @adeepn in armbian/build#9979nanopik2-s905: bump u-boot to v2026.04. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9989PocketBeagle 2 - Fix NCM Networking w/ACM for Serial. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#10007qcom/qcs6490: replace Radxa Dragon Q6A adsp/cdsp with linux-firmware. by @SuperKali in armbian/firmware#129qcom/sc8280xp: add Radxa Dragon Q8B audioreach topology. by @SuperKali in armbian/firmware#128radxa-cubie-a5e: tidy BOARD_NAME to "Cubie A5E". by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9990remove bleedingedge from all boards. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#10016rk3528: updated rkbins ddr/bl31/bl32 for rk3528. by @rpardini in armbian/rkbin#47rockchip64 & meson64: bump edge to stable 7.1. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#9980rpi4b: bump edge to 7.1.y. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#9982rtl8192eu: fix build against 7.1 and re-enable. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#10009SpacemiT K1: Update CPUFreq support EDGE. by @pyavitz in armbian/build#9981sunxi64: Enable CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_MIPI_DBI=m for current and edge configs. by @d93921012 in armbian/build#9984sunxi: restore md modules (software raid modules). by @k-popov in armbian/build#9992Update MorseMicro suite to 1.17.9. by @vidplace7 in armbian/MorseMicro-DKMS#8Update odroidxu4-current to 6.6.143. by @belegdol in armbian/build#10018View the full article

This is not NVME, but SATA. No surprise it does not work. It might be that the M.2 slot of the OPi5pro is such that with an overlay, you could map SATA signals to that slot and then it should work. Look in rockchip overlays folder for any .dtbo file with name like *rk3588*sata* But you should check HW circuit diagram maybe first, might also be that this is only for the normal OPi5 Maybe search a bit, I found Is old topic, but the principles are still the same.

Power supply: WNB-0504000 5V 4A 20W USB-C. SSD: Intenso Top Performance M.2 128GB SATA-600 I'm gonna buy a new power supply. Looks like I'm needing a 5A one.

ubuntu nor gnome is not relevant what matters is u-boot and kernel (and powersupply and type of nvme ssd ) u-boot logs can be seen via serial console cable

I've tried Ubuntu-gnome. Still no SSD recognition.
