Hello, Any update of this?

They will provide you new drivers only if you will pay them to do that for you. End users, including this project, can do nothing about - we have negative budget and can only do best-effort work to keep those drivers at least operational with recent kernels: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/patch/misc while bulk of the patches goes directly to the Git of specific driver. What you are hoping exceeds ability of amateur maintainers, those few people that are actually looking into the code and fix bugs that are made by kernel API changes. HW vendor is usually long gone from there - their development capacity is also limited and they are focused into current products. FYI

A10 / A20 hdmi support was reported as broken and bug was recorded https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-2674 some time ago.

https://debug.armbian.de

there are a few caveats that may need a bit of attention It is documented somewhere that if you use channel 0, the driver would automatically select an appropriate channel / frequency. However, it seemed that back then initially while I tested it, that didn't seem to work. (i'm not sure if it may have changed) hence to list the channels one needs to run iw list and you would get a list of channels like such * 2412 MHz [1] (20.0 dBm) * 2417 MHz [2] (20.0 dBm) * 2422 MHz [3] (20.0 dBm) * 2427 MHz [4] (20.0 dBm) * 2432 MHz [5] (20.0 dBm) * 2437 MHz [6] (20.0 dBm) * 2442 MHz [7] (20.0 dBm) * 2447 MHz [8] (20.0 dBm) * 2452 MHz [9] (20.0 dBm) * 2457 MHz [10] (20.0 dBm) * 2462 MHz [11] (20.0 dBm) * 2467 MHz [12] (20.0 dBm) * 2472 MHz [13] (20.0 dBm) * 2484 MHz [14] (20.0 dBm) * 5170 MHz [34] (disabled) * 5180 MHz [36] (20.0 dBm) * 5200 MHz [40] (20.0 dBm) * 5220 MHz [44] (20.0 dBm) * 5240 MHz [48] (20.0 dBm) * 5260 MHz [52] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection) * 5280 MHz [56] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection) ... * 5720 MHz [144] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection) * 5745 MHz [149] (20.0 dBm) * 5765 MHz [153] (20.0 dBm) * 5785 MHz [157] (20.0 dBm) * 5805 MHz [161] (20.0 dBm) * 5825 MHz [165] (20.0 dBm) what I normally do is to do a scan and pick an unused / least used channel : iw wlan0 scan pick an appropriate channel and specify it in hostapd.conf. 5ghz channels (hw_mode=a) delivers a max throughput of like 140 Mbps which is fast. https://docs.armbian.com/WifiPerformance/#uwe-5622 accordingly there are some country specific requirements for 5ghz channel selections and one may like review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels iw reg set etc I did a google search and some of these resources may be useful https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager https://www.baeldung.com/linux/nmcli-wap-sharing-internet in a same way you may need to set the channel if necessary then that this repo is found in a google search which may be useful https://github.com/pi-top/Wi-Fi-Access-Point-and-Station-Mode/tree/master

I downloaded and wrote the image to the SD card. I can see the U-Boot messages at the very beginning, but after a few moments, nothing is displayed anymore. I believe the OS is still booting because the activity LED on the board keeps blinking. Any idea what might be happening ? Thanks in advance for any help !

I'm trying to compile an LED display driver: https://github.com/arthur-liberman/linux_openvfd I follow this description: https://github.com/bk3a12/openvfd_enable_for_tx3_mini However, I can't build anything and the whole process ends with errors: sh ./scripts/modules-check.sh /home/user/INSTALKI/linux_openvfd/driver/modules.order make -f ./scripts/Makefile.modpost make[3]: *** No rules to make an object '/home/user/INSTALKI/linux_openvfd/driver/modules.order', required by '/home/user/INSTALKI/linux_openvfd/driver/Module.symvers'.

Thank you!

Hi, I also tried to run this sensor, tried different ports but to no avail. maybe you found a way to solve this problem?

Hi! So, I tried this overlay, and the device still did not detect USB. Although when I tried switching the dts file to the topwise a721, the HDMI stopped working but USB devices were correctly detected. On top of that, no the display still does not work even with the topwise device tree. I checked the RAM clock speed with the command you mentioned and it said 432000000, which is much higher than what I found from the boot file from original Android (384000000). Is there a way I can rebuild just u-boot and install it in this working image?

Share the image of your assembly, preferably server-side.

I think I solved it! In the upgraded system there was no package pahole! After I installed the pahole and reinstalled the package linux-headers-6.12.33-current-x86, I got the BTF stuff as described above in the .config file and I can compile modules! Pfff, finally! I checked the Raspberry Pi 4 version, I see no pahole package installed there, and I can compile modules and zfs. I don't see any BTF stuff in the .config there also. So, I don't know what is really going on here, I should install pahole on arm64 systems as well? And should pahole not be included when you upgrade your system to 25.5.1 ?

Thanks a lot for your help, Igor. That did not make the trick, as the available packages are still in the old form (docker.io instead of docker-ce for example. Nonetheless, I now have a working (but old) docker binary, which is enough for my use case. Now, I will try to build a more recent docker binary. The next problem to solve will be to get the NVMe to work. I'm sorry your F3 died.

accordingly H618 do not have mic in hardware https://www.cnx-software.com/2023/07/03/orange-pi-zero-3-allwinner-h618-sbc-ships-with-up-to-4gb-ram/ hence, an option is to use a usb soundcard / dongle https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-usb-sound-card.html there are also those 'arduinoish' approaches e.g. to use a ADC module board e.g. https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ads1110.pdf https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-ads1110.html https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-and-the-TI-ADS1110-16-bit-ADC/ but that you would need to hack the pin interfaces to use i2c etc. note it seemed ads1110 is a bit too slow for sound. alternatives are like stm32, which has built-in adc that can go to like 1-2.5 Msps, but you would need to hack the spi interface etc. the 'easiest / cheapest' way seemed to be generic 'usb sound cards'

so, you are good now?

Has a fixed image been posted? Just upgraded to 25.5 from 25.2, so havent tested a new image download yet.

probably best to specify location for any sales offer

What is the status here?

The OrangePi Zero 2w is maintained by the community and chraac in particular. Maybe try to contact him by e-mail if you don't get a response here. Or talk to other owners of the device here in the forum to see if they can answer your question.

Hi all, If anyone is interested, I have a Helios64 backup battery pack lying around that I did order back in the day, but never got around to installing/using it. (Have a separate UPS.) From my guess this thing is <6 years old, but again, never seen any charge or discharge. PM me when interested. Groetjes, PS Available for pickup in the San Jose, Bay Area, CA (USA) or can send domestically thru USPS.

@Nguyễn Tất Hùng If you want to use Armbian, you should start here: https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box/ And specifically look at the link to the Status of TV Boxes on Armbian information.

What about the speed? iperf3 report about 55-58 Mbits/sec

@robertoj there are some 'old' stuff that may not be fully relevant but still useful this gist likely helps: https://gist.github.com/ag88/de02933ba65500376d1ff48e504b1bf3 an 'old' post: Note that currently in the minimal image netplan is set to systemd-networkd https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Networking/#minimal-images I'm less familiar with systemd-networkd, though it is possible to setup the network fully with it. What i did currently, is to update netplan config as above to use NetworkManager After that I use NetworkManger to setup a bridge adding the ethernet interface. https://gist.github.com/ag88/de02933ba65500376d1ff48e504b1bf3 . However, I actually make NetworkManager *unmanage* the Wifi interface, because i'm using hostapd. I'm using hostapd mainly because in journalctl logs, there is an entry for every host/client that connects. I'm not sure about how to do the same with Network Manager. hostapd also supports elaborate RADIUS authentication if one wants to go the distance. Then I install and configure hostapd as described in the gist, and during startup, hostapd actually patch the wifi interface into the bridge that is setup with NetworkManager.. The configuration for wifi AP is completely done in hostapd.conf as described in the gist. I'm using a bridge as DHCP is managed from my gateway router, hence I did not run a separate DHCP server instance in Orange Pi Zero 3 itself. An alternative setup is to setup NAT (network address translation) on the Orange Pi Zero 3 and to run a DHCP server on the Orange Pi Zero 3 itself. I think NAT approach is 'more common' I'm using hostapd, but I think without hostapd, it is also possible to setup an AP using NetworkManager alone. i.e. to let Network Manager manage the Wifi interface, and configure it as an AP. The benefit here is that Network manager woulld likely manage the DHCP and NAT as well all from Network Manager configurations. As I'm doing everything from the command line, I used NetworkManager cli (nmcli) for all the network manager configuration tasks. Note that while messing with networking, it is necessary to work in the serial debug console using a usb-uart dongle. i.e. bootup and login as root using a usb-uart dongle to the 3 'debug' pins for the serial console.
