Hi, looks like the issue still persists, but I have a temporary solution in case if your upload speed drops *way* beyond yours (2 Mbps for me). You can force-use a 100 Mbps link speed. `iperf3` results below. Literally 50x speed increase in my case! I've performed these benchmarks connecting to my VPS via wireguard: ``` $ cat /dev/mtd/by-name/U-Boot | strings | grep -B1 "u-boot,version"` U-Boot: 2026.01_armbian-2026.01-S127a-Pc2e6-H706e-Vab81-B2eb2-R448a ``` Linux 6.18.10-current-rockchip64 Standard operation (1000 Mbps): ```root@odroidm1 ~# ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full root@odroidm1 ~# iperf3 -c 10.0.3.1 Connecting to host 10.0.3.1, port 5201 [ 5] local 10.0.3.2 port 42538 connected to 10.0.3.1 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 384 KBytes 3.14 Mbits/sec 5 14.7 KBytes [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 384 KBytes 3.15 Mbits/sec 5 6.68 KBytes [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 384 KBytes 3.14 Mbits/sec 2 13.4 KBytes [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 256 KBytes 2.10 Mbits/sec 6 9.35 KBytes [ 5] 4.00-4.43 sec 128 KBytes 2.42 Mbits/sec 0 22.7 KBytes ``` Dirty fix, link capped at 100 Mbps at most: ``` root@odroidm1 ~# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full root@odroidm1 ~# iperf3 -c 10.0.3.1 Connecting to host 10.0.3.1, port 5201 [ 5] local 10.0.3.2 port 42354 connected to 10.0.3.1 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 11.4 MBytes 95.3 Mbits/sec 0 1.03 MBytes [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 10.5 MBytes 88.1 Mbits/sec 0 1.03 MBytes [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 11.4 MBytes 95.4 Mbits/sec 0 1.10 MBytes [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 10.2 MBytes 86.0 Mbits/sec 0 1.10 MBytes [ 5] 4.00-4.48 sec 5.00 MBytes 87.4 Mbits/sec 0 1.10 MBytes ``` So.. yeah. While using Wireshark I also saw *a lot* of TCP retransmissions too, which usually don't happen that at 100 Mbps link in my configuration.

Hi @KV1 looks like you are hitting this issue: https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/A3700-utils-marvell/issues/35 As you can see, Marvell is not very active in these repos. So you have two choices: 1) use older binutils/gcc (probably the easiest option), or 2) fix the issue with the source code. The fixes I'm seeing look simple enough to implement, and I will likely need to include them in the future when/if I update the github runners used to build releases.

Thanks a lot for all responses to my query. I'm afraid I haven't had the time to tinker on this issue long enough to find a solution. However, as I don't need to use Armbian Imager that often. So I can live with those rare cases of starting Windows as admin and running the program as such.

Nick explained above how to create such an image on your own.

i need rom work linux on x98h pro with secure image

We don't deal with other OS than Armbian. If you need Android, I suggest to ask at xda developers or similar place.

@Alex Ling yeah, I have noticed it too. With Mesa (PanVk) recent updates, DX9 games can be played with Dxvk without dgVoodoo2 wrapper.

X98H Pro FIRMWARE OFICIAL secure image

@KhanhDTP Now Call of Duty 2 can be launched with dxvk 2.7.1 + mesaaco ppa.

Hello, I am trying to connect a ds3231 module to get time during boot (dns does'nt like 1970) and without internet connexion. I load a recent build UBUNTU 26.2.1 on the M5 but unfortunatly after 2 days of research with chatgpt , I ask to knowledge experience people if they know if it's possible and which kind of dts can make this module up and running. I did'nt identify a dtbo on the distribution , a made a lot of investigation , pin 3 and 5 og the 40pins connector is connect to the cpu with pullup resistor , i try a lot dts conf and nothing gave result. If some one did this kind of connexion thanks in advance. Gérard

Just an update. Upgraded to linux-image-current-rockchip64-26.2.0-trunk.655 (6.18.20) not sure whether it included this But unfortunately with the new linux-image-current-rockchip64-26.2.0-trunk.655 kernel still no audio/sound output from the Headphone Jack (Analog).. Edit: Downgraded to or Install linux-image-current-rockchip64-26.2.1 (6.18.10), Headphone Jack has audio/sound output.

@Mohammad Adel Here are the steps to make a secure boot image. In your case you want to modify the X98H defconfig. git clone https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build.git --branch v20250306 cd build pico patch/u-boot/u-boot-h616/171-add-x98h-defconfig.patch You need to add this line to the bottom.

i need secure image x98h pro

@jock Thanks. My box is A95X R2 (rk3318), mainboard A95X R2_V20 (2019‑07‑02). Front panel board A95XCX1_IO_V1.0 (2019‑03‑05). The LED controller on the front panel is TM1628 (photo available). So I should use the tm16xx kernel driver (tm1628), not openvfd. I’ll try rk3318x-config to enable the front panel. If the board isn’t in the list, I can provide front/back photos and dtb.

That's not an issue. These fixup scripts are only there to allow dt overlays being configurable via parameters rather than having hard-coded pins for example. About the actual issue, no clue. I suggest to try 7.0 kernel from "edge".

Armbian_community 26.2.0-trunk.639 Trixie ttyS0 Ethernet is unstable, cannot connect with SSH, useDns, mtu change - did not help. WiFi is not initialized anymore. I can confirm there is no file. I tried to fix it with AI help and did a lot of stuff, nothing worked. Bu once decreasing speed to 100 ethtool -s end0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on it started to work. Now I can connect via SSH and apt update work as well.

On other fora it is nowadays forbidden to post AI content. I would use same here. So you need to google yourself. Or just 'man dpkg'

There were changes merged fairly recently. Perhaps try this: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9600

None I am aware of. neither do I have this board nor do I maintain it.

Hi @Werner, do you have any news on this bug? I had to copy the /boot on the second nvme to make this setup work and to be honest it shouldn't be like that

You are not running Armbian. Ophub is a fork of Armbian. They do not contribute to Armbian development nor do they participate in these forums. You need to direct your questions to their support sites.

@Abdullah Al HaDi Talking about custom roms, I did try to install ATV Xperience rom in it but it unfortunately ended up in a bootloop. But I had great success with Armbian (s90xx builds or idk what it was called). Besides armbian I had success with Manjaro too but I decided to stick with Armbian till the end of its lifetime. Yes the sbc is dead now, RIP...

sudo dpkg --print-architecture sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures maybe i have installed wine once, but atm it is not installed; if i go to sources.list can not find it, but now there is sources.list.d/ folder and several different list there, but there is no explicit entriy for "i386" that i could easily delete. EDIT: thanks, removing "wine" from sources brought the "upt-get update" process down to 19sec. now it would be nice to remove the remaining "i386" from the equation.

After I added "snd-soc-wcd938x" to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf, the sound card can be detected as expected.
