@Werner I agree that it's more convenient for everyone, but it took me some time to find out how and testing it in an image. In a few minutes I expect that the commit will be there.

I transferred it on two consoles using armbian-config. There were no problems.

Hi @Dominik Wójt, Thank you for your time looking into this. I was really stuck in a loop looking for solutions and this is the conclusion I also came to: The issue is with the kernel, not with DTBs, config, distro, monitor or anything else. I got the output to work on a regular image by installing "linux-image-edge-meson" but still no access to NAND and the device does not run smoothly. Best experience I've had was with an old image with kernel 3.10.108 which had everything working and running smoothly. I would like to try these patches you mentioned but unfortunately I don't have the knowledge on how to do so, then how to put this into armbian during the build process... I've now given up on this. Installed LibreELEC with and old kernel and donated the box away. Though I want to thank you again for your suggestions and for your help.

I will rename it from ../../devices/platform/i2c-display/i2c-6/6-0024/leds/display-controller to ../../devices/platform/i2c-display/i2c-6/6-0024/leds/display an try again........

Werner : thanks for you best effort, will try it as soon as im back home ,cheers

It would make more sense to send a PR to fix this so it is included in all upcoming images/releases.

I had some difficulties to make my sata disk work and found out that the regulator had to be switched on. So here a dtbo and source to make it hopefully a bit easier for some others. Easiest way to install is "sudo armbian-add-overlay orangepi-5-sata.dts" orangepi-5-sata.dtbo orangepi-5-sata.dts

@MeJune You can build your own Debian 13 Trixie version. git clone https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build.git --branch v20250306 cd build ./compile.sh choose "Do not change kernel configuration" choose "Show CSC/WIP/EOS/TVB" choose "I understand and agree" choose "transpeed=8k618-t" choose "edge" choose "trixie" rest is up to you. Your image should be in output/images directory.

Laibsch, I was running bookworm, though I updated to trixie to see if that solved the issue. I applied the fix from the github issue. Fancontrol service is running on trixie now, though the fan is still at 100%. Georges, I did not post on the Odroid forum, since I'm running Armbian and I assume they won't be able to help us. Thank you both for your help!

@Hqnicolas I tried https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/v25.11.0-trunk.258 but the display didn't work on my h96-max-v56 board with aic8800. This board may have same differences with the auxdisplay compared with older boards. When I add my 'old' tm16xx.dtbo the display works again. My source for this overlay is attached. It contains 2 lines which are necessary with my board: i2c-gpio,sda-output-only; /* despite kernel warnings, those two directives are necessary! */ i2c-gpio,scl-output-only; I didn't find the advertised kernel message, so the comment above my be deprecated. For my board it is required but not sufficient to add the 2 lines above. The mapping of the LED segments seems to be different from yours. The line i2c-gpio,delay-us = <3>; from the original code was not required with my board. And thank you very much for your work! rk3566-h96-max-v56-gt.dtso

I use Balena Etcher on my laptop running Linux Mint. It never let me down before. I understand balena Etcher on an Arm SBC is not recomended. Ernst-Jan

I followed this forum and finally bought a transpeed-8k618-t to use via a micro SD card. It's been a lot of fun and enjoyable. Even though it only displays well on YouTube at 720p/30fps, I understand the box's capabilities. I'm thinking of installing eMMC, but I'm not sure. Can anyone recommend a proper eMMC installation method? I'd appreciate it. @Nick A Are you planning on making a Debian 13 trixie version?

it's a headless unit, Werner. if i can't ssh in then i just use an older build.

I think this "unsupported version" thingy when doing initramfs update is just a cosmetical thing. The script comes from upstream and checks for version string included in upstream (directly from Raspberry to say) kernels. However I believe this has been worked around by our own bsp which is silently executed right after. Cannot tell for sure if that's the issue I remember it is since I don't have access to hw atm.

Have you tried to get into by keyboard/hdmi or serial console? If so you could track down why sshd refuses to start

Basically you as heads-up for upcoming kernel bump in this branch and everyone else for attention getting this merged (or not)

bout to try th latest 25.8.2 Edit: still no good – connection refused

@Hqnicolas I will give it a try, but atm I'm happy with existing working patch for tm16xx. Edit: it seemed that @jock has updated the patch with latest code https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8679

may not help you (i'm running the pi4 build) but i find that putting holds on rpi-eeprom, raspi-firmware and raspberrypi-sys-mods from first boot solves this problem

Actually using a zero2w but same image obv as rpi4... unable to login (refused ssh). had to switch back to the 25.2.3 build

Good evening all and thanks @Igor for the suggestions. I managed to connect to my Cubox-i4 from my laptop via USB with sudo picocom -b 115200 -r -l /dev/ttyUSB0 and now I have lots of messages, but no success with booting the Ubuntu 24.04 Noble minimal image. In particular, there is a complaint about a CRC error. I've attached the text generated by letting the boot process run for awhile. I decided to try the Bookworm minimal image, and I'm up and running right away with that. So I guess I will stick with Bookworm for now. If anyone generates a new Ubuntu 24.04 image they would like me to try, happy to give it a go. Or of course any other suggestions! booting_ubuntu_cubox-i.txt

@amazingfate Do you know if its possible to use tha latest mali blob with wayland and vulkan support (g24p0-wayland-gbm) and at the same time use the rkmpp on vendor 6.1.115? I got everything compiled and seemingly working but when I try to connect to a stream, all I see is black screen. This is with the moonlight-qt client and an orange pi 5 plus (rk3588)
