Hi, moved to off-topic since nothing in particular is covered.

Hii this is my first post

Never mind, I found this old image with built-in desktop environment and I was able to upgrade it to current. https://users.armbian.com/jock/web/rk322x/armbian/beta/Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Rk322x-box_noble_current_6.6.56_xfce_desktop.img.xz

The display was working fine on 6.12, but has now stopped. I have tried the other kernels, the vendor has issues with passwords as well for some strange reason its not recognising the set password. I am going to look into the kernel, and kernel patches if I can work out what I am doing, but Armbian with its three fixed kernel versions is a nightmare and always has been. I have had exactly the same issue with BananaPi-M3. The fact Armbian will not build old versions is stupid. I can select older kernels using armbian-config and these work. If armbian/build would allow the user to select the same kernel images as armbian-config can this would go some way to solving this issue.

Having non-working hw is kind of expected with current kernel. Support for rk3588 is basic at most in this version and will not receive further enhancements in that matter. Security fixes only. If you need stuff working Try edge or vendor. Bleeding edge. May work, may not. https://debug.armbian.de

not working on latest 6.12.y kernel 6.12.39-current-rockchip64 either.

Open a terminal, type the command in question, provide us the output.

If boot from USB works, you don't need to install anything, just do 1st login config as described here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#first-login If boot from USB is not supported by this hardware (I don't recall if it works on N2+ or not), you need to start with SD card, conduct previous steps following by https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#installation

How does this work ?

If it isn't in armbian-config you can follow any upstream tutorial for Ubuntu or Debian to install a DE

Hello. How can I install a desktop environment? I've successfully installed Armbian on a rk322x tv box, but the option to install a desktop environment is missing from armbian-config utility. Thanks!

@HqnicolasI tried following your post but not successful. Do you have another method for that. Thank you.

B00-MX3mini-Ver1.7 2GB RAM eMMC Android backup for armbian-ddbr As promised here is the link to the factory android image eMMC backup for fake tanix tx3 mini s905l2-b box with 2gb ram. Obviously the image must be moved to the /ddbr/ folder and the armbian-ddbr command must be used to restore it from a working Linux system on a USB stick or microSD card inserted in the box.

Most likely a U-boot problem. Please see https://github.com/armbian/community/issues/39

@ScoreABSM https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8394 I enabled gpu via overlay. Looking fine on my end. Tested using Chromium and Youtube. Still not sure about that audio dmesg error. Audio does work though. Image I ran test with: https://github.com/pyavitz/binary/releases/download/images/Armbian-unofficial_25.08.0-trunk_Bananapim4zero_bookworm_current_6.12.35_xfce_desktop.img.xz dmesgandmisc.txt

Endless … Garbage 😉

@ScoreABSM I have no clue what the HDMI audio errors are in the dmesg. I noticed them before as well. I know mainline doesn't actually have HDMI audio support yet. I'm not sure where these HDMI audio patches originated, but I assume the OrangePI repo. Of course, I could just be doing something wrong here on a DTS level? Strange your getting chanspec errors. This was resolved on my end by updating the wireless-regdb. You can try resolving it with this: "Put in your COUNTRYCODE" extraargs=cfg80211.ieee80211_regdom=US or this echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=US" > /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf I'll disable the gpu by default. No. I don't see how removing those RTC patches would be creating these errors. The chanspec one is well known. Also happens on RPI's. I have a HACK patch that disables the error, but thats not really a fix. When I ran tests with the GPU before I never saw those errors and that GPU patch was pulled from mainline. I believe? Pretty sure it is the same patch I use in my personal builds. II'll say this. This is becoming endless. I'm getting ready to toss this SBC in the garbage

Just flashed an u-bbot version from here which does support NVMe...well at least it recognizes the SSD (o; https://github.com/cubie-image/sun55iw3p1/releases => pci enum Speed change timeout PCIe speed of Gen1 => nvme scan feng >>>> debug <<<<< nvme_probe => nvme device IDE device 0: Vendor: 0x1dee Rev: 1.4.7.70 Prod: 2510194702629 Type: Hard Disk Capacity: 488386.3 MB = 476.9 GB (1000215216 x 512)

Thank you Nick I tried again with compositor off I still get: [vd] Unsupported hwdec: drm [vd] Using software decoding. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/32449-repository-for-v4l2request-hardware-video-decoding-rockchip-allwinner/page/4/

I have tried again with orange pi zero 3, debian trixie linux edge, xfce desktop. This time, I tried without compositor. I ran this from SSH, as my user: killall xfwm4 && xfwm4 --compositor=off & I got: (xfwm4:7880): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:45:56.629: cannot open display: Then I tried "killall xfwm4 && xfwm4 --compositor=off &" and there were no errors. The orange transparent effect when moving windows is now a white line rectangle Then, mpv played my 1080p mp4 with low framerate (slow motion, 75% of speed)... sometimes with 100% CPU and sometimes with 25% CPU I noticed this in the log (both high and low CPU cases) [vd] Unsupported hwdec: drm [vd] Using software decoding. With high CPU: [cplayer] Set property: user-data/osc/margins={"b":0,"r":0,"t":0,"l":0} -> 1 With 25% CPU: [cplayer] Set property: user-data/osc/margins={"l":0,"b":0,"r":0,"t":0} -> 1 Whole log (low CPU case): (Mpv.conf at the bottom) Another sanity check: Ryzer, did you turn the compositor off? Are you using an armbian-downloaded OS, or self built? What kernel version? DId you change anything in the linux menuconfig? I am recompiling again, having checked again that the new linux patches are taken.... how could I check that my current Linux kernel has the new v4l2, cedrus functions? Then I will try again with Bookworm

Nope..though nvme kernel modules are present in the file system but doing nothing when loading, not even a dmesg output. Besides...u-boot version from the SD image has also no NVMe support...

Hi @c0rnelius, I did some tests with your image, connecting bluetooth audio earbuds, installing XFCE, chromium,... it works (and also wifi, hdmi/audio, ...)!! But some problems (side effects of disabling the 2 patches?) : - hdmi audio (working fine despite the following errors) "hdmi-audio-codec hdmi-audio-codec.5.auto: Only one simultaneous stream supported! "hdmi-audio-codec hdmi-audio-codec.5.auto: ASoC: error at snd_soc_dai_startup on i2s-hifi: -22 - i2s (despite I don't use it, following error in log) "ahub_plat-i2s-hifi: ASoC: error at __soc_pcm_open on ahub_plat-i2s-hifi: -22" - WiFi (working fine despite the following errors) "brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0x100e fail, reason -52" "brcmf_p2p_send_action_frame: Unknown Frame: category 0xa, action 0x8" - display lags / windows repaint problems, seems to appear only after using GPU to decode videos, following errors in log) panfrost 1800000.gpu: gpu sched timeout, js=0, config=0x7300, status=0x8, head=0x10061d80, tail=0x10061d80, sch$ panfrost 1800000.gpu: Panfrost Dump: BO has no sgt, cannot dump panfrost 1800000.gpu: gpu soft reset timed out, attempting hard reset panfrost 1800000.gpu: gpu hard reset timed out panfrost 1800000.gpu: error powering up gpu L2 panfrost 1800000.gpu: error powering up gpu shader panfrost 1800000.gpu: error powering up gpu tiler panfrost 1800000.gpu: gpu sched timeout, js=0, config=0x7300, status=0x8, head=0xd0bd0c0, tail=0xd0bd0c0, sched$ panfrost 1800000.gpu: gpu sched timeout, js=0, config=0x7b00, status=0x8, head=0x11195d80, tail=0x11195d80, sch$ This last one is the main problem. Also strange GPU is activated without adding gpu to overlays... Hope this helps. Denis - dmesg.txt armbianEnv.txt

No, this board isn't supported. However anyone from the community can step up and add support for it. Found an attempt on Github:https://github.com/juanesf/build/pull/1

ah i see, sorry. is there armbian OS for Opi4A? i didnt found yet, on official page armbian, only for OPI4 and OPI4 LTs. thank you in advance
