I used armbia-config to install an edge kernal linux-image-edge-rockchip64=25.2.2 v6.14.0-rc4 this resolved my hdmi issue on all my monitors listed in my previous reply

@Werner something I noticed with testing Armbian_25.2.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_current_6.12.13_xfce_desktop The HDMI display would output on a 4k display but did NOT display any output on other various resolutions 27" 1440 , 34" 1440p ultrawide, or 2560x1600 portable monitor

@akabulous did you check your board architecture using AIDA and already make sure your board is p271 with Amlogic S905l ? let me know what are your's tv box model ?

I'm waiting for the HDMI part of the audio patch to drop. There is currently discussion going on about the Audio in a private chat, concerning 6.12.y and up, but I haven't seen consensus yet. Once its reached, I will drop in the nodes. This could take time.

Hello. Is it possible to add Type C display alt mode support? https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/20250223113036.74252-1-andyshrk@163.com/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/patch/20250312104214.525242-7-andyshrk@163.com/

Thank you for the explanation. Is there a realisitic chance for it to be added in the near future? And could I assist with that? Or should I look out for alternatives (e.g. usb soundcard/speaker) ?

Thanks @Werner

I can't tell you which u-boot image to use until I get more information. u-boot is in the images you write to your sdcard. If you want try all these images. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/tag/20250306 The best way to know if it's booting is to install a usb serial ttl device to your uart. Then use a terminal software to view u-boot/kernel messages. sudo gtkterm -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200

Thank you for the clarification @Torte. Then I guess that it was what you mentioned, but I sure tried multiple times, so I guess I must have done something else wrong

From the Installation Instructions post ( https://forum.armbian.com/topic/33676-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus) "Note: It is not possible to install into emmc on boxes with the s905 cpu"

Still can't see... can you just read it out to me. It's the very tiny black chip. Between your IK316 and wifi chip SV6256P.

@Nick AWhat program can do this? I took pictures with more details

If there are no pre-built version available, use the build framework to create your own: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/

It’s better to install a usb serial device and attach to GND TX RX on your board https://linux-sunxi.org/UART

It’s the small chip on top of that picture.. it should have AXP###

@Nick A I believe this is an AXP chip

How to use the u-boot?

@Felps I can't see the AXP chip... it's small chip on the board. Can you tell me the number?

It all depends on that specific SBC and lowlevel init code. I don't know your board and maybe you changed U-Boot. But a high-level mitgation is to makes sure you set a MAC address in a NetworkManager connection file, see /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections

@Michael Robinson https://paste.armbian.com/milumavona @Werner Thanks pointing that out. Where can I get the edge/vendor versions?

@Nick A This is the board

There was no official audio routing for the h616 until recently and still none yet for HDMI. As far as I know? https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20241023075917.186835-1-ryan@testtoast.com/T/ I believe there is unofficial patching for it available in Armbian for 6.6.y, but I never added the required nodes to test it. This would be why there is no functional audio on the unit as of yet.

I've installed and run a/m OS. BUT i have a problem with MAK address changing at every reboot. How to avoid that ? Is it possible to install the OS on the emmc instead of SD card?

Hi, I just got my BPI-M4 Zero running, however I do not know how to get HDMI Audio output working (if it's possible at all) I installed: - Armbian_25.2.0-trunk.414_Bananapim4zero_trixie_current_6.6.72_minimal.img # uname -r 6.6.72-current-sunxi64 # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
