What @Werner means by this comment is that you need to update your code to current github code base. You can't use old code to build. The dependencies that get pulled in during the build process change over time. So you always need to be on current (or near current) github source for armbian build to reliably build images.

While it didn't give an solution, 👆 this is a good answer. It matches my concept of what armbian-build does, as I learned it 3 years ago (from reading the documentation and experimentation)

I just thought that a inserting a cpio file would be accepted, just like inserting a c file into the linux source code. I have never done a source file insertion myself, with neither C or cpio file... but I assumed it would work, since it is a common need for linux patches. In this page, they talk about the "--new-file" feature of the diff command https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/37287/how-to-include-a-new-file-into-a-patch

Yes, absolutely works with the front USB. I do not know the regular price, that depends on the spec you choose (how much RAM, is eMMC included). I got the similar price for that board including shipping, but do note that it was shipped from China to Taiwan. Hmm, that's true for Hiby R3II, checking from the manual, it actually says:

HI I arrived here after buying a Hiby R3II and trying to use it on my PS5. Stupid Gemini sayed that it has a software toggle to UAC 1 but it doesn´t. So I´m seeing what to do and this option popped up. Do you think it may work with the PS5 front USB? I looked for the board and is around 35 USD in Aliexpress shipped to Europe. Is that regular price? thanks a lot.

I'm using the command ./compile.sh build BOARD=rpi4b BRANCH=current KERNELBRANCH=current SKIP_ARMBIAN_REPO=yes SKIP_ARMBIAN_CONFIG=yes SKIP_EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAINS=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes CLEAN_LEVEL=make-kernel,alldebs,images,cache EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no NEWPKG=true OFFLINE_WORK=no KERNEL_BTF=no RELEASE=noble

The image is generated, but when I put it in the Raspberry Pi, it displays the screen.

moved Cannot reproduce. Download image works just fine https://dl.armbian.com/rpi4b/Noble_current_minimal outdated tag, unsupported

Found the other partition! Quite surprised that it didn't show up in KDE, but that's on me for blindly trusting a GUI. Thank you

I need help. Every version I generate for Raspberry Pi 5 Armbian-unofficial_25.08.0-trunk_Rpi4b_noble_current_6.12.32_minimal shows the error shown in the photo.

Hello Dear, After flashing *Armsom-cm5-rpi-cm4-io_*, there is one critical problem. onboard USB hub always connects and disconnects 2 times when booting. dmesg outputs: [ 6.190239] hub 1-1:1.0: USB hub found … [ 7.868081] rk-pcie 2a200000.pcie: PCIe Link Fail, LTSSM is 0x3, hw_retries=0 [ 7.868642] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 2 … [ 9.326443] hub 1-1:1.0: USB hub found … [ 11.213062] rk-pcie 2a200000.pcie: PCIe Link Fail, LTSSM is 0x3, hw_retries=1 [ 11.213297] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 4 I have tried with many variations, but the onboard hub is always disconnected. server/desktop community release/ self build several tags from 25.5 to 26.2 CONFIG_USB_ONBOARD_HUB O/X rpi cm4 io board/ Ochin board However, Armsom's official image has no problem with the onboard usb hub. CM4-nano-B has no onboard hub, and has no problem with external hub. So, it seems to be a SW problem. In addition (for information), I tried custom-build without pcie because hub disconnection happens near pcie. Kernel menuconfig disables Rockchip PCIe host cont/ Rockchip DesignWare PCIe cont/ Broadcom Wireless Device Drv. Device Drivers ---> [*] PCI support ---> PCI controller drivers ---> < > Rockchip PCIe host controller DesignWare PCI Core Support ---> < > Rockchip DesignWare PCIe controller ... [*] Network device support ---> [*] Wireless LAN ---> <*> Rockchip Wireless LAN support ---> [ ] Broadcom Wireless Device Driver Support ---> Then, both pcie and onboard-usb-hub disappear in dmesg even though any usb option is not changed. Please review this problem. Thanks.

Thank you

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!
