Still waiting in January 2026. LOL What happened @ROOD I was just given an H96 PRO+ (like your photos, but with v2.1 of motherboard). I want to put it to work doing something... so I am ready to install armbian, with whatever your final instructions are. -Thanks!

Dear SteeMan, thank you for your answer. I checked Android info, and it shows 8 GB / 128 GB, Android 15, so the advertisement was not real. I investigate it forther.

@quaSimba: Thanks for your remarks and the link to the guide on Github. Hopefully I'll one day have a RPi to work with so I can support it in my script and tutorial. @fxkl47BF: The completion packages were removed because they can be horribly laggy on low-powered SoCs and I find them annoying in general. They can be easily reinstalled if desired.

I have a question about booting from sd card. While with empty emmc (erase with rkdeveloptool), the board falls back to maskrom mode even the sd card (with working os) is inserted. It can boot armbian into sd card if I flash miniloader and u-boot in to emmc. I wonder how can we get it to boot fully from sd card.

Thanks @robertoj I had a quick look at your link. It talks about introducing patches into the Ambien build (which I already do in terms of c code, module source code and the linux .config file). HOWEVER, when I attempt to create a patch from my cpio binary file and use that as the initial ramdisc during the build, it fails (I did it a couple of weeks ago & I can't remember exactly what the problem was). Nevertheless, if you think I can create a patch from the cpio file, please give me detailed instructions and I'll try it again--- maybe I did something wrong?

Unfortunately i do not have this board to compile/test on

by the way i can ssh into armbian while it’s stuck on a black screen so i can provide any logs you want

Also, in a quick google search, the TX60 Pro generally has an Allwinner H313 CPU. Are you sure your box has an amlogic s905l cpu?

What image are you using? What uboot and dtb are you using?

I have bought a TX60 Pro with S905L CPU, 16 GB RAM and 256 GB eMMC. I tried to run Armbian on it: wrote several images on microSD, but since it does not have a microSD reader, I plug it in in a microSD reader. Unfortunately, it does not boot from it, not even when I start it with the Reset button pressed. Is there any chance I can run Armbian on this box?

Appreciate the quick replies! Turns out im just an idiot, and completely forgot to freeze the kernel. have a great evening!

Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-ddr3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server.img This works for my 1.1 board

What happens after this is needed. make sure loglevel is 7 in armbianEnv.txt Hopefully yo have a serial console cable so you can copy and paste the text here on the forum, is better than pictures on imgur (site is blocked in UK by the way)

I operate an Odroid HC4, that has 4 x A55@1.8 and the board discussed here has 8 x X60@1.?. A fast sysbench says: single thread on OpiRv2 is slower (792 vs 1034) , multithreaded is faster (6342 vs 4151). Compiling a current kernel on RV2 needs 3 hours, nothing one would do do regularly. If you really need speed buy a Radxa Rock 5 (see platinum support devices on this site). Edit1: NPU -> Opi Wiki, USB and SPI yes, for MIPI DSI/CSI you need to test yourself. Edit2: Just remembered that I have a H618 (Opiz3). Single=708, Multi=2828 with the same Trixie sysbench. HTH + LG // Sven-Ola

I just updated, and upgraded the image I installed via ssh. After a reboot nothing happens. If I then kill the power and boot it again, I get this very brief video output, where the last line is “starting kernel” and then it crashes. I managed to get a video of it, and took a few screenshots. https://imgur.com/a/COaD6lb any assistance is appreciated!

I just had to take the service offline, and on boot it failed again. I had the updates installed, but not applied through a reboot. When i boot the device, i just get a few blinks on the heartbeat LED, and then nothing. Not even a display output. The only thing i can think of, is to try to reinstall the OS on the SD card, and then update through the CLI before i install OMV and see if i can get a different result. Any other advice? Thanks.

Thank you guys for the work toward this RiscV SBC The website http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-RV2.html claims 130% faster than ARM A55 (which is 25% slower than my H618)... have you tested that? Are the USB, GPIO, SPI and MIPI DSI working? Are there any NPU examples provided by Orange Pi?

Hello, I have installed a tinkerboard 2S and used it without problems for more than a year now. Today I started Armbian-upgrade to upgrade the system.I use a M2 WIFI card. What happens right after the reboot when the upgrade was done; the system boots normally, showing all information on the monitor, and about 5 seconds after the login prompt is displayed, it completely freezes. That is; the system doesn't react to keypresses on my USB keyboard, and SSH access isn't reacting. I can ping the device however and I know it is not dead as my .NET core application is running normally and I can access it externally! I use a wifi hotspot configuration; the wifi network is also not available after boot. Now, I have a NanoPI R3C also with M2 wifi and configured exactly the same; it also behaves the same: console freeze, no ssh access. When I remove the Wifi card it does not freeze so it looks like related to the wifi card/configuration. I bought a R67S with wifi as I though it was a hardware failure but now, after upgrading my tinker it appears it's software related. As my Tinkerboard 2S was working flawlessly before I upgraded; are there any known issues in Debian Trixie minimal installation? I use this on both devices. Regards, Frans

@sicxnullI was curious if you would be able to make an image for v1.1 boards? I ask because v1.3 doesnt work for these older 1.1 boards and I am not as skilled as you at making images haha

ok

Why do you ask? The instructions linked to above don't have that as one of the steps for a normal install.

You use a Desktop/Xfce installation, and it is for a low-power ARM64 computer. So I would not be surprised if in modern Xfce, the Power Management default to suspends after 30 minutes or so. Last time I used Xfce was when Debian Buster, also then in then I remember in the GUI there should be some system setting where you can configure power settings. So there you can make sure that it never enters suspend state. I do not know how to configure that from command line, but that should also be possible, maybe search internet. You can also look into the journal and see what happened, maybe something is wrong. 7 Watts is way too high for suspend state at least, but maybe things connected on USB still draw power and is it only the CPU that is halted. Other option is not to use a Desktop image/installation, but a CLI for server/IoT variant. Those images should have suspend disabled.
