Thank you for reporting back. Glad you got it solved.

This. Just use the tools that were intended for software installation.

I suggest you simply try. What is holding you back?

Thank you for your question, @Jacob Burckhardt I do not use tags and FWIW, I do not see them on my main laptop, running Ubuntu Noble, either. Is this a Debian thing? Is your Armbian user space Debian?

It seems this has already been figured out. No issue...

Thank you for coming back and sharing your "solution". It is always good to hear when things work out in the end, no matter the reason.

Att, my board broken after trying to update, idk why but it crashes and system doenst start i have installed the last trunk.

Hello everyone, I have a problem, I hope you can help me. I have a TV box sold here in Brazil that has an H316 processor. I tried to use the images that were made available, but I only managed to boot successfully when I compiled my own after downloading the build from Git. Now I can boot from the SD card, create a user and passwords, use the sudo armbian-install command, but after that, a message appears saying "Counting files... few seconds" and freezes on that screen. Could someone tell me what I can change in the img compilation to fix this?

Hi @Heisath, I think i can make a pull request from here: https://github.com/armbian/build/compare/main...djurny:build:patch-1, but would like to see someone else besides me test and scrutinize change. If positive results are in, I would very happy to finally contribute something! Groetjes,

I am still here but as we all know our time is precious and I am currently using all my time for other projects. So I am not currently maintaining this board. On the whole I think armbian is moving too fast, for me, with new features in the build system and kernel which has somewhat discouraged me from further investing my time. ARM is IMHO not a stable platform, unfortunately. @djurny solution looks good - I might test this later and try to integrate it. But everyone else, if you can, please make it a PR on github It should only be necessary to adjust this file https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/bootscripts/boot-mvebu.cmd

installations

Is this an error in the build or installing jammy?

The directory is incorrectly specified

Try again with Linux 6.10 or older if you have an armbian img. Two things I found needed for linux 6.12+: 1. Define the pinctrl-names and pinctrl-0 parameters 2. MAYBE: rebuild Armbian in your computer, with one less Armbian patch As seen in: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/47971-driving-the-ili9488-lcd-40-inch-cheap-chinese-clone/#findComment-216779 In this thread, you can see how I detected miscofigurations of the SPI GPIO: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/50418-dont-use-kernel-61216-on-sunxi64/page/2/#findComment-216924 WDR_s: did you try upgrading to Linux 6.12? (you could get H264 acceleration if you upgrade)

What’s the error this time?

Hi all, @Igor @0r31 I managed to come up with a more structural solution that should work for future increased sizes of the kernel/inital ramdisk as well. Let me know if you are interested in testing this out before I attempt to make a pull request, as some instructions are required to test this out. Changes are all in `boot.cmd` so no rebuilding or updating of U-Boot required. Based on the load addresses in U-Boot, reshuffled the loading of DT, kernel and initial ramdisk last. After loading the DT it will calculate the kernel load address based on the DT `totalsize`. After loading the kernel it will calcuiate the initial ramdisk load address based on the kernel filesize. Some other minor changes are also incorporated; `fdt resize <extrasize>` adter re-loading original DT when applying the overlays has failed. Skip the `fdt apply` and `fdt resize` for the SPI-SATA workaround. Results on my Helios4 with an old U-Boot 2018.11 below: Comments are welcome, Groetjes, boot-mvebu.cmd

it didn't help, it threw up errors

Thanks for investigating this. I have seen this issue reported quite a bit recently. I assumed it was something that had changed at the dtb level. Knowing this helps provide guidance to others in the same situation.

You need jammy installed https://releases.ubuntu.com/jammy/

windows10 virtuization system. ubuntu 24.04.2lts codname: nobe

@svyatoslav are you using Ubuntu jammy? https://releases.ubuntu.com/jammy/
