IIRC stuff for rock2a/f was sent to upstream uboot too. Try adding a condition to use mainline uboot as well. You can check various rockchip based boards which also have this in their board config file.

I tried various parameters when mounting and unmounting, such as: sudo umount -f /media/..., but the system still hangs. You can't connect to the device via SSH in a new session. If you force a reboot (or sudo systemctl poweroff ) without unmounting it, it won't happen, and you won't be able to connect via SSH. Physically disconnecting the cable also doesn't help.

@djoness Can you share your MiniArch-20231112-6.6.2-board-h313.x96_q-SD-Image.img on Cloud,or Send me email(lq007lq@gmail.com). Because The owner's github update, The old version has been overwritten.

After upgrading to Armbian 26.2, I noticed that if I mounted a network drive (samba, cifs) and even accessed it, and then tried to unmount it (sudo umount -t cifs ...), the system would freeze. Upgrading from Debian 12 (bookworm) to Debian 13 (trixie) didn't help. I did a rollback to Armbian 25.x via backup, and this problem doesn't exist there.

@iav nice. Yeap. One fixes topology and the other pcie performance. Tested on the BananaPi BPI-CM4

As a reminder: earlier this year, WDR_s had success with the waveshare 9486 LCD, with the ili9341 driver, but that was the fbtft old style driver. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/46824-orange-pi-zero-3-ili9486-tft-lcd/#findComment-213110 I can't remember whether someone used the adafruit ili9341 driver (DRM) for the Waveshare ili9486/9488 LCD... anyone remembers? And a success case in the reddit community (warning Raspberry): https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/1lk18a7/comment/mzql8v4/

Hello: To compare all available use of this so great card, we could share our uses. For me i se it with : -OpenMediaVault for the NAS function; as file copy save and Torrent -Transmission for the torrent sharing -2 HDDs to save files on USB 3 and 2. And you ? I have a Rock64 1Gb with external power station 5A power

Thanks for responding @FredK! Is it possible this has been resolved now and I won't need to do anything? Or will I likely need to run the commands that @Igor listed in the post that you linked?

The HDMI0(Port next to Headphone Jack) is driven by DP1 on rk3588 via RA620(a dp2hdmi converter). https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip?h=v6.18&id=07c53a9e970712b1a479dd0ec4adfe184482c22f ROCKCHIP_DW_DP is needed in order to have working 2nd HDMI port.

Upgrade to Armbian 25.11.2 successful.

Yes, it is a custom Armbian image (no coding needed) Download the Armbian build system from github Select panel-mipi-dbi to be a kernel module (M) Choose Trixie, minimal (the greeter+desktops available in Armbian need to be pure wayland, but the greeter is not) Try the DTS and firmware file again I will try to explain better tonight Are you sure you meant Linux 6.1.31? My opiz3 is running 6.13.x or newer

@wolf7250fyi: I upgraded my Helios4 from OMV6 to OMV7 RC1 in February 2024 already. Upgrade went smoothly. But after that further OMV updates were not possible, solution found at https://forum.armbian.com/topic/23465-apt-get-update-fails-with-public-key-errors/?do=findComment&comment=178626

By helping cleaning gigantic Allwinner patchset so we can upgrade it to 6.18.y and merge already prepared Cubie a5e https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8831 Then it become easier.

@Maxim Shell it’s possible to boot using USB OTG. You’ll need the latest u-boot. You can use my mainline build. Not sure if your stick has secure boot enabled. You can remove the secure boot patches if you don't need it. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/tree/mainline/patch/u-boot/u-boot-mainline git clone https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build.git --branch mainline cd build ./compile.sh build BOARD=transpeed-8k618-t BRANCH=edge BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED=browsers DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=xfce DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base EXTRAWIFI=no KERNEL_BTF=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=bookworm https://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot#Mainline_U-Boot_.28v2015.04_and_newer_versions.29 build/cache/sources/u-boot-worktree/u-boot/v2025.10/spl/u-boot-spl.bin You can mount the compiled image to get the other files. sun50i-h618-transpeed-8k618-t.dtb uImage boot.scr I haven't done this before. Let us know how it works out for you.

Short of KIckPi opening a contract with Armbian and providing the units they want worked on. I don't see how?

How can I help with the development of Armbian for the Orangepi-4A?

Thanks @c0rnelius Is there a sustainable way of building working images for kickpi k2b v2?

Also I need wifi.

@Nick AIt has only usb and hdmi, no any SD card slots. Also I dont know anything that it has, I just need graphics acceleration, sound and support of usb, its all.

I haven't personally had issue with 6.17.y, but 6.18.y is a mess on meson-g12. It is basically unusable in my opinion. PCIe is hosed, even the patch that kind of fixes the issue just makes the error go away and doesn't fix the underlining problem "performance". I also get topology errors, but as I haven't really seen anyone yet complain about that, I'm assuming its me. For my personal use, I will be sticking with 6.12.y until things get sorted.

Hello! I'm so glad you responded! I've been trying to reflash this device for three days. Unfortunately, the behavior after reflashing is always the same: the red LED lights up, goes out after 15-20 seconds, and the device no longer shows any signs of working. I've reflashed the device about 50 times with different settings. And of course, I checked the "Write to address" box. I built the firmware from your git - https://github.com/vidplace7/armbian-build/tree/luckfox-lyra-ultra I also built the firmware from the Armbian office git. There were no errors during the build. I've built the firmware from Debian and Ubuntu. I've also tried various methods (again, I've been trying to reflash the device for three days now). I'm desperate. Would you be so kind as to post the firmware that works 100% for you and tell me how to flash it correctly? I'm pinning all my hopes on you!

There's no problem of course, I just did not have time for testing the built image yet, and was asking if it's not pointless. Thanks for the response so far, I'll try... As far as I understand it, the device tree from the vendor kernel won't work on mainline and I have no clue how to point armbian to the proper one. Maybe I'll just try removing the line about fdtfile from armbianEnv.txt lol

Yeah I ended up ordering a refurbished office mini pc, might repurpose the android box for something else down the line, like a pihole or something. Moved the plex server to my desktop and running it like that atm. That was pretty much all I was using the box for. Thanks a lot for all the help!
