Weird. I set verbosity to 7 but still nothing. See this https://paste.armbian.eu/zubunigowi.vbnet Nothing afterwards. Claude suggested adding the parameter SERIALCON="ttyS0" because apparently the default is ttyS2, which does not match rk3528. Let's see if it's just a hallucination.

@Mohammad Adel You need a image with a AXP313a (Power Management IC). Try these images. Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Tanix-tx6s-axp313_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Transpeed-8k618-t_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Vontar-h618_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X98h_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz If it still doesn't boot. You might have secure boot enabled. You can try to compile this image. It includes secure boot. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/tree/mainline If it's still not working. Then it might be your Dram Settings. You should install a Usb to serial device on your UART. So we can see your debug messages.

@MrBros1509 I think you want to read this thread:

@Galeno Fernandes What does your question have to do with Armbian? It doesn't look like you are using Armbian at all. These forums are for Armbian linux.

Set verbosity to 7 in armbianEnv.txt to get an idea about what happens after "Starting kernel..."

Yup, there are numerous boot attempts if you take a look. There are two that are successful but not much happens afterwards, look for "Starting kernel". So when it finds the tree, it "boots" but there is no further output.

Make sure the file is there and name is correct

The kernel seems to be starting but there is no further output from the serial console. Here are some attemps (forst one with FDT commented out, which prevented the kernel from loading, the last ones also, maybe due to SD card corruption). The green light is on and the blue light is pulsing. This is the config it came up with with my guidance: # Rockchip RK3528 quad core 1-4GB SoC WIFI/BT 0-32GB eMMC BOARD_NAME="ROCK 2F" BOARD_VENDOR="radxa" BOARDFAMILY="rk35xx" BOOTCONFIG="rock-2-rk3528_defconfig" BOARD_MAINTAINER="CodeChenL" KERNEL_TARGET="vendor,edge" KERNEL_TEST_TARGET="vendor" FULL_DESKTOP="yes" BOOT_LOGO="desktop" BOOT_FDT_FILE="rockchip/rk3528-rock-2f.dtb" BOOT_SCENARIO="spl-blobs" IMAGE_PARTITION_TABLE="gpt" enable_extension "radxa-aic8800" AIC8800_TYPE="usb" function post_family_config__rock-2f_use_mainline_uboot() { # use mainline uboot for _edge_ [[ "${BRANCH}" == "vendor" ]] && return 0 display_alert "$BOARD" "Mainline U-Boot overrides for $BOARD - $BRANCH" "info" declare -g BOOTCONFIG="generic-rk3528_defconfig" # Use generic RK3528 config since rock-2f specific config doesn't exist yet in mainline declare -g BOOTDELAY=1 declare -g BOOTSOURCE="https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot" declare -g BOOTBRANCH="tag:v2025.10" declare -g BOOTPATCHDIR="v2025.10" declare -g BOOTDIR="u-boot-${BOARD}" declare -g UBOOT_TARGET_MAP="BL31=${RKBIN_DIR}/${BL31_BLOB} ROCKCHIP_TPL=${RKBIN_DIR}/${DDR_BLOB};;u-boot-rockchip.bin" unset uboot_custom_postprocess write_uboot_platform write_uboot_platform_mtd # disable stuff from rockchip64_common; we're using binman here which does all the work already # Just use the binman-provided u-boot-rockchip.bin, which is ready-to-go function write_uboot_platform() { dd "if=$1/u-boot-rockchip.bin" "of=$2" bs=32k seek=1 conv=notrunc status=none } } Here is the log: pastebin Any ideas? I observed that with some boards, the line "BOOT_FDT_FILE=..." is absent altogether. is removing it possibly the way to go?

Hello everyone, I’m trying to flash a firmware on a generic Android TV Box and I’m stuck at a hardware/bootloader compatibility issue. Device technical details: - SoC: Allwinner H618 - Board / PCB: FX-H618-D4_V10 - RAM: 4GB DDR4 - Storage: eMMC (unknown size, likely 32GB) - USB FEL ID: VID_1F3A PID_EFE8 - Original OS: BigdroidOS (Android generic) - Commercial name: Transpeed 8K618-T Current situation: - Device enters FEL mode correctly (VID_1F3A PID_EFE8) - PhoenixSuit detects the device but firmware upgrade hangs at “Beginning Firmware Upgrade” - Tried multiple PCs (Windows 10 and 11), different USB ports and cables - Allwinner FEL driver installed correctly - SD card flashing with PhoenixCard (Startup mode) is ignored, device boots normally to Android - Reset timing variations tested (short press / long press / no reset) Tested firmware: - sbx_transpeed_h618_atv_12_11.img - H618.apollo-p3.T-H618_100M_12_FD650.2023.09.13.1720.img Both firmwares show similar behavior (FEL detected but no successful flash). I believe the issue is bootloader / DDR4 initialization mismatch. I’m specifically looking for: - A firmware confirmed to work with board FX-H618-D4_V10 - Or the original BigdroidOS firmware dump for this board - Or confirmation whether this board requires a specific boot0/boot1 Any help, working firmware, or dump from the same board would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Allwinner H618, FX-H618, DDR4, PhoenixSuit, FEL, Transpeed

No need to reply in a PM; just run standard Debian tool: sudo tasksel and select what you want and follow the steps.

Hallo everyone i really want to filn out how to install armbian onto one of 2 devices i have 2 boxes but ill focus only on one for now. The tvox is a Tangka Cpu = RK3228A Storage chip = SKhynix H9TQ64A8GTMC Wifi chip = s9012p Where could i find the compressed file of the .iso sothat i can flash the firmware onto my tvbox and what software/drivers will i need on windows 10 or ubuntu (preferably win10) id really appreciate if you guys can help me out. I dont have a sdcard only a makeshift working male to male usb adaptor.

You have PM, please reply when you have a moment. Thanks

It is Tomb Raider 1~3 remastered Gog version

No, basically any wine/proton (wow64) will work! Btw, that version of the Tomb Raider!

After my last update on my radxa5-ITX, apart from the name changes of the NIC (related?), I remarked that I could not cryptroot-unlock the root partition because of dm_mod apparently missing from initramfs. To give some context, this is how I set things up some while ago and things went pretty smooth until recently. Too bad armbian does not keep the previous kernel (though I get the reason why). Inspecting the boot partition, cat config-6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx | grep DM_CRYPT CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=m the kernel seems to have been compiled with the proper option and lsinitramfs initrd.img-6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx | grep 'usr.*cryptsetup' usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcryptsetup.so.12 usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcryptsetup.so.12.9.0 usr/lib/cryptsetup usr/lib/cryptsetup/askpass usr/lib/cryptsetup/functions usr/sbin/cryptsetup and initramfs seems properly linked to the relevant libraries so I do not understand why device mapper remains unavailable. At this point, I have no hypothesis except a very unlikely one An unlikely hypothesis Could failure to initialize the device mapper have nothing to do with dm_mod availability but be solely the side effect of Because I always unlocked the root part either from console or from a dropbear session, I understood device mapper init as an anterior step, independent from NIC availability. But is it really the case. What am I missing?

@Igor wrote about upcoming Muse Pi Pro (a SpacemiT K1 board). Orange Pi RV2 features a "Ky X1" SoC which may be a variant of the SpacemiT SoC and at least similar to the already compile-able Banana Pi F3 board. However, Xunlong seems to be serious about the differences, since the published patch sets on github.com/orangepi-xunlong to kernel and u-boot have a GPL-2 copyright notice, stating I expect my RV2 arriving tomorrow. Thus, it would be very appreciated if support for this board pops up in time 😉 Otherwise I may try my luck with adding Armbian support on my own (without expecting success soon). For clarification, I compiled a list of RISC-V64 boards currently available: Banana Pi F3, runs on SpacemiT K1 8-core X60 RISV-V@1.5? (2 TOPS NPU, 2x1 Gbit, M.2@m, mPCIe, eMMC@soldered, SD/TF) Orange Pi RV, runs on StarFive JH 7110 4-core RISC-V@1.5 (1x1 Gbit, M.2@m, SD/TF, SPI-flash) Orange Pi RV2, runs on Ky X1, 8-core RISC-V@1.5, variant of SpacemiT K1? (2 TOPS NPU, 2x1 Gbit, M.2@m2280, M.2@m2230, SD/TF, eMMC@socket, SPI-flash) Muse Pi Pro runs on overclocked SpacemiT K1 8-core X60 RISC-V@1.8 (2 TOPS NPU, 1x1 Gbit, M.2@m, mPCIe, eMMC@soldered, SPI-flash) Best // Sven-Ola

Set var environments as below: export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink export GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink export LIBGL_KOPPER_DRI2=true

How do you use Zink?

Armbian 25.8.2 Noble XFCE (BSD Kernel: 6.1.115) + PanVk - mesa 26.0 (https://launchpad.net/~ernstp/+archive/ubuntu/mesaaco) + box64 3.9 (https://ryanfortner.github.io/box64-debs/) + GE-Proton (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom) + Zink (openGL) >=60fps@1080p Tomb Raider Remastered IV - V - VI

I just got a mystery box from Ameridroid that contained a ODROID-GO-Ultra. Hardkernel has an old Ubuntu 20.04 image. Does Armibian support this device?

With the help of Claude I generated a config with both. Compiling now. Hopefully it boots this time. If it does, I may then do a PR.
