Thank you so much for your help and explaining how it should work! I tried all the cores that you ordered - it only worked on this: #unnamed -a Linux orangepi5-plus 6.16.4-edge-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 28 14:34:51 UTC 2025 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux I put it like this: @apt install linux-image-edge-rockchip64 linux-headers-edge-rockchip64 The old cores were not suitable because the wifi card 0002:21:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp.

Switch to edge or vendor kernel (latter either with panthor overlay or proprietary mali blobs). current is a bad choice for desktop usage.

Not planned but should be possible. A good start would be to copy the mentioend 2f and extract the device tree from official image and add it to vendor kernel source. If you're lucky that's all what's needed to get it to work.

moved to offtopic. not using Armbian. If you need support with that image, ask at the place where you downloaded from.

Hello, Noticed the NanoPi Zero2 the other day and it might help me setting up a wifibridge WiFi (WiFi6) to LAN. Since it has the RK3528A SoC there is an image avaiable based on that SoC , though for the Rock 2F Therefore wondering about its status and if it will be (not) adapted? Thanks

In the afternoon, I decided to look at dmesg.

I got my issue resolved with labwc+greetd+nwg-hello See this link https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-hello/issues/43 Please check it and post any corrections if needed

Hi @Nick A, can you please publish the updated git verision with 6.17?

Hello friends, I'm trying to install Armban from sd card or usb disk on a x96 max+ box( s905x3 confirmed, 4gb ram+ 32gb flash, realtek wifi and samsund emmc or nand). but nothing works. tried minimal and CLI but non of them works. I've done this before for another box(s905), but this one is giving me a hard time. Tried almost all dtb files, and renamed u-boot file as per instruction above( didn't patch the dtb file (as I felt it's already done for S905x3 in latest community image I used(Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky) , Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)). Tried installing from usb flash drive and sd card to make sure it's not about medium, no success. Some times the device enters into recovery menu( I think the toothpick method works but as it cannot detect a bootable media goes into recovery menu). and most of the times it goes into a loop ( I see boot logo and then restarts) from both usb and sd card. any Idea? someone said, they were able to boot from 24.5 desktop, but I was unable to find the exact same image to download. cheers,

I think this device already have a working linux on SD-card, make a complete documentation of the boot method used by the current ambernic present in the SOC, and how it makes the search for the SD-card your work around will be only inside the rkbin and the u-boot. you will need to match the needs for this rkbin to find armbian, You may need to migrate armbian to mainline uboot or you may need something legacy, only with a debugger connected to the TTL port will it be possible to distinguish link link link I got this folder with some examples: https://github.com/hqnicolas/Rockchip-Library/tree/main/RK356x/rkbin https://github.com/hqnicolas/Rockchip-Library/blob/main/RK356x/rkbin/ABOUT.md also: Ambernic use some custom rkbin and u-boot, please share your research https://github.com/hqnicolas/Rockchip-Library/tree/main/RK356x/u-boot/socfpga https://github.com/hqnicolas/Rockchip-Library/blob/main/RK356x/u-boot/socfpga/rk3568_common.h

@djtecha6 I have faced the same issue. And it's the Armbian 25.8.2 problem, use the Armbian 25.5.1 image indeed.

OK, tried build my own full server image and the same error. It cannot find SSD, but nand-sata-install had no problem copying the file system over from the SD. The fstabs and boot.ini looks fine. I guess no one has tested this for a while. I'm just going to use Jammy version for now since it still works.

You are going to need to connect a USB uart connector to capture the console log of the boot. Without logs it is hard to know what is happening

I see, thanks for the reply @hexdump. In the end I bought this card https://allegro.pl/oferta/karta-pamieci-samsung-evo-plus-microsdxc-128gb-adapter-15833111368 and I'm using it as main disk. I'm pretty disappointed with the write speed (around 20MB/s in my tests) but I guess it could still be fine for lightweight server usage.

AFAIK bookworm is fine with wayland (weston, kde, ...)

RTL8211F try to make an analogy with bananapi-m4-berry node for this chip. arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h618-bananapi-m4-berry.dts

I can confirm that switching to network-manager seems to make the Bookworm image more stable on my hardware. @bobby3605 @bundle @Eatocee can you confirm if one of the two options below work for you as well. Use Debian Trixie image instead of Bookworm. These can be found by scrolling a bit further down on the official download page at https://www.armbian.com/bigtreetech-cb1/ OR switch to NetworkManager sudo apt install network-manager -y Change renderer from networkd to NetworkManager in /etc/netplan/10-dhcp-all-interfaces.yaml --- /etc/netplan/10-dhcp-all-interfaces.yaml.orig 2025-10-12 20:53:08.558759013 +0300 +++ /etc/netplan/10-dhcp-all-interfaces.yaml 2025-10-12 20:53:28.826717724 +0300 @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ network: version: 2 - renderer: networkd + renderer: NetworkManager ethernets: all-eth-interfaces: match: Thank you!

Thank you. I meant to ask about that PR14690 I would rather stay with trixie and low fps, because it seems easier to solve my other problem: need 100% wayland and 0% X11 due to a LCD driver problem.

From what I understand and can see from the behavior of the stock ROM, the device first checks whether there is a /boot partition on the SD card, and only then does it start Android.

RTL8211F is the interesting label.

moved to tvboxes for now. perhaps anyone has a clue how to get rid of Android before continuing.

I decided to learn something interesting and wanted to build an image for the Anbernic RG353P console. I checked that uboot has DTS files for my model in the main branch and that there is support in the Armbian kernel (vendor) for my hardware. Unfortunately, after building the image and uploading it to the console, nothing happens. The console has dual boot Linux/Android, Linux should boot from the SD card. Unfortunately, the system immediately loads Android and skips my card. I tried various options in board config, but to no avail. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong with the configuration? The board configuration is copied from the existing one for nanopi-r3s-lts. I found two things that didn't seem right to me: - by default, rootdev was configured to mmcblk0p1 in the bootscript, I think (I'm not 100% sure) that it should be mmcblk1p1 - no improvement - my DTB file (/boot/dtb/rockchip) is missing from the /boot partition - I manually mounted the partition and uploaded the file, but that didn't help either (I set the permissions etc. the same as for the other DTBs). I am pasting the configuration files. Thank you very much for any help and advice Board config: armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 bootlogo=false console=both extraargs=cma=256M overlay_prefix=rk35xx fdtfile=rockchip/rk3566-anbernic-rg353p.dtb rootdev=UUID=8f8aa17e-0953-4c6c-b7bf-8cf0ebbf2b14 rootfstype=ext4

this is my external ethernet chip

yes, The box is 1000Mbit external ethernet chip, But I don't know how to set the dts to support this 1000Mbit external ethernet chip.
