Well I was able to build by changing the docker image with this option : DOCKER_ARMBIAN_BASE_IMAGE=ubuntu:jammy The two other images (debian:bookworm and ubuntu:noble) simply do not work

Hey Sam, busy week so only getting around to replying - yes there are pre-built images for it but we took them down because I wasn't happy with the state it was in. We have a patch we're cleaning up that add the packages for GPU Acceleration and Wifi/BT that we're going to merge today/this weekend so I will re-enable the image generation and it will show up under Supported boards tomorrow/Sunday. If you do end up getting it and trying it out feel free to reach out here or on discord and let me know if you run into anything.

endgoal is Device 1 is reachable from PC1 - with PC1 settings all can NOT be changed and ideally Device1 on completely different subnet...

Not to forget this: What is your endgoal here? You just want to ping 'device 1' from PC1 ? Or you want to connect to 'device 1' from PC1 using some protocol? Gr,

I am pleased to confirm that DSI is now working with the official images (Tested Armbian 25.8.1 Trixie minimal). 👍

Hi there, You could try to change 10.10.10.0/24 to 192.168.100.0 but this can cause IP overlap if you do not have control over the 192.168.100.0/24 network. If NIC1 and NIC2 are part of the same network, you will have to make sure that all traffic to the default gateway will exit via NIC1, `ip route` should show the device it will use. I do not have any experience with setting up bridge networks, perhaps someone else can help with that - using bridge containing both NIC1 and NIC2 might be the easiest way, but you will have to fix/work the IP address overlap it will create. (link: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/bridging-network-interfaces) Hope that helps, Groetjes,

Nothing I can change on PC1 - Also PC1 could be a master device with pre-defined IP settings beyond my control hence Im using PC1 as an example. I have altered the diagram abit however the IP settings for PC1 can NOT be adjusted... does this allow any further options we can think off ?

Hi there, In this setup with these networks you specified, it is really PC1 - or the gateway/router in the red box that need to know where to send packets to for 10.10.10.0/24. This is usually done by a static route on the gateway/router, or by adding a hop in the routing on PC1. If neither know where packets for 10.10.10.0/24 need to go to, they will be forwarded to the default route of firstly PC1 (which is the gateway) and on the gateway/router's default route. If you can change neither, you will need to think about more exotic solutions, like setting up an ssh tunnel from PC1 and using rocky linux as a jumphost. Or, as you also imply, perhaps bridging 192.168.100.0/24 with 10.10.10.0/24, which (i think) will chaning 10.10.10.0/24 to a subnet of 192.168.100.0/24. What are your options/abilities in PC1 here? What can you change and what not? Do you have administrator rights for example? Can you run/install cygwin or any windows flavor of ssh for example? What is the WAN side of the gateway/router? The internets or some other network? What can also work is to put 'device 1' in that network, if all you need is to ping it. Groetjes,

Hi djurny, Appreciate your replies and assisting. regards to #1 - I can not add any routes on this Windows machine - its managed by others, I only have user access with only limited access. Points for #2 - tried those no luck. I was thinking what if i was to change NIC2 within the subnet as NIC1 - will this work ? Or am i really missing something in terms of static routing on the Linux Box... ?

@maça dev Try extract multitool.img.xz first, after that, burn multitool.img using balenaEtcher, dd, or any other burning tool

Overlays can be added manually as well. Check /boot/armbianEnv.txt

wich OS system Windows balenaEtcher, linux "dd" , do you perform checksum

Expected. current had a bare minimum of hdmi support before it became recent LTS kernel. Therefore no fixes will hit there until rollover to next LTS. Needs to be enabled. Either enable panthor overlay (the mainline panthor driver was backported to vendor kernel but is disabled by default) and install more recent mesa packages (depends on userspace). Or install proprietary mali blobs. Having or building an image with mesa-vpu extension enabled handles that for you. There is no automatic method of installing afterwards yet. https://github.com/armbian/apa/issues/20

hello. Do you resolve this issue? I am struggle with CSI camera in orange pi 3b. but it does not work. How to enable CSI and camera. Can you help me? thanks

The board I have has a different Rockchip SoC (rk3588-orangepi-5-plus), but it's been my experience that the edge kernel (6.16) is the only one that's of any real use to me. I get no video with the "current" (6.12) kernel, and no GPU acceleration with the vendor (6.1) kernel. So I would suggest just switching to the edge kernel.

On the OrangePI-5-Plus, using an edge kernel, I've found that the desktop environment's GPU rendering works very smoothly on Wayland, in KDE 6 on Debian Trixie. It renders much more smoothly than gnome with Wayland (it's been my experience that the edge kernel is the only one that works). But I've encountered a major rendering bug. It only appears in Trixie KDE Plasma 6 with Wayland rendering. It does not appear when using x11 or when using either rendering in gnome. Nor does it appear at all in Bookworm. I have tried all kinds of things to "fix" these to no avail, including installing more wayland and mesa packages, then upgrading them to stable backports and then even to unstable testing (forky) versions. I've also tried the Debian unstable edge kernel from testing (6.16.3) as well as the Armbian stable edge kernel (6.16.4) with the same results. I installed Debian Trixie using the Debian .iso installer (w/ EFI boot), then upgraded to their edge/testing kernel (6.16.3) from their testing/forky repository. The bug showed up in pure Debian without a drop of Armbian. Then I installed the Armbian stable edge kernel (6.16.4) to replace the Debian edge/testing kernel in that installation. The bug remained. The rendering bug also showed up in the release version of Armbian Trixie 25.8.1 using the Armbian edge kernel. KDE 6 Wayland Render Bug Symptom: The [ALT-TAB] Task-Switcher's Text Labels (see screenshot #1) The major place this bug shows up is in the task switcher (using ALT-TAB). The window labels, instead of rendering as textual fonts, they render as blocks. I tried several things with the fonts, from changing their type and size, turning on/off anti-aliasing, to changing the desktop themes, and so on. I also tried using different "task switchers" from the list. All I got were the same blocks -they just appeared in different sizes and positions with no other changes. So I'm reasonably sure the rendering issue has nothing to do with fonts, desktop themes, Plasma settings, etc. KDE 6 Wayland Render Bug Symptom: glmark2 (x11) verses glmark2-wayland (see screenshots #2 and #3) Using the command-line utility: glmark2, there's an x11 version and a Wayland version. The each render to an 800x600 window. Normally the only visual difference between them is that the Wayland version has no window borders around it. But with this bug, the Wayland version renders significantly smaller on the screen, and also at a significant performance reduction (>50%). Conclusion I already know it isn't an Armbian issue. I don't believe it's a kernel issue either. I'm reasonably sure it has nothing to do with fonts, themes, or Plasma settings. In my internet searches, I have found no other reports of this specific rendering bug that I think are relevant to whatever is happening now. I did find some vague statements about there still being some "issues" with rendering in the upgrade from KDE 5 (using QT5 libraries) to KDE 6 (using QT6 libraries). I also read that KDE Plasma 6 has a somewhat unique interface or relationship with Wayland and uses its own protocols with it. I think this explains why the bug doesn't show up in gnome, and also helps to isolate, to a degree, where the bug actually is. From what I've read, apparently this issue shows up differently on different systems? It is my impression that these specific symptoms of this bug may be unique to this hardware (Rockchip rk3588 SoC) or GPU (MALI-G610 (built-in)), even though it is a clearly a software bug. P.S. I just ran Fedora's KDE Plasma 6 image. There were about a thousand updates to run on it. Plasma 6.3.4 (think) upgraded to version 6.4. And their mainline kernel (6.14 upgraded to 6.16.7 I think). The rendering bug I mentioned here did not show up either before or after those updates. So it appears the issue isn't with KDE Plasma itself either, that it's apparently on Debian's end. I noticed some of the (Debian) packages are specifically to bridge 5 and 6. I would guess that's where the problem is - apparently they didn't make a clean break.

Hi there, To make it more clear: On PC1: [As administrator] Add a route/hop via 'rocky linux' for packets destined for 10.10.10.0/24 https://www.howtogeek.com/22/adding-a-tcpip-route-to-the-windows-routing-table/ route ADD 10.10.10.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.101 On 'rocky linux' Raspberry Pi: Enable IPv4 forwarding: sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 Add masquerading for NIC2 (10.10.10.1): sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -o enp4s0 Or use the firewall-cmd thing, which you posted: sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-masquerade Then try to ping 'device 1' from PC1 once more. The traceroute should show nexthop to be 'rocky linux' for any IP address in the range 10.10.10.0/24 if you configured the route/hop on PC1 correctly. Groetjes,

Hi there, Ah so PC1 is windows based? You need to set the route to 'rocky linux' on that box. Some googling shows you can add a route on windows: https://www.howtogeek.com/22/adding-a-tcpip-route-to-the-windows-routing-table/. I do not have any Windows PCs around to test this out though. Is your goal to only ping 'device 1' ? I presume that you have other things in mind that just pinging 'device 1' ? Another route you can try is to connect from PC1 to a specific port on 'rocky linux' and then have that port traffic forwarded/NATed to 'device 1'. Have not done that myself ever, but let's see. Groetjes,

Arhhh still no good. PC1 still can NOT ping 10.10.10.2 root@rpi4b:~# ip route show default via 192.168.100.254 dev eth0 proto static metric 101 10.10.10.0/24 dev enp4s0 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.10.1 metric 100 169.254.0.0/16 dev enp4s0 scope link metric 1000 192.168.100.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.100.101 metric 101 root@rpi4b:~# anything needed for ? net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 ? note: NIC2 and Device 1 have no gateway.. dont think it matters right ?

Hi there, Not sure about the syntax of `firewall-cmd`, but you should only masquerade on the NIC connected to the 10.10.10.0/24 network, as masquerading does have some performance impact to/from that NIC. Seems you need to check which `zones` are defined and create a `zone` to only cover NIC2 on 'rocky linux'. For the `route` command, you can use the "new" `ip route` way: # type on PC1 sudo ip route add 10.10.10.0/24 via 192.168.100.101 This will tell PC1 to throw packets that are destined to reach the 10.10.10.0/24 network towards 'rocky linux''s NIC1. No, masquerading is done on the destination address of the IP packet, it will not change any source/destination port number. Masquerade here uses NAT, port is not translated. Groetjes,

Problem with the multitool I'm trying to burn the multitool into the micro sd, but every time I try the disk go unallocated, can someone help me??

I have also installed firewalld any ports or routing i should allow ? eg : sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-masquerade ?

@Nick A I fixed the wifi issue after warm reboot for x98h with this patch:

root@rpi4b:~# sudo route add -net 10.10.10.0/24 gateway 192.168.100.101 sudo: route: command not found root@rpi4b:~# Do i need to add dev eth0 or enp4s0 ?
