I can't seem to manage to extract the device tree because of garbage software stacks (Wtf is "gradle"? Doing everything in BrainF*ck as a joke would unironically be better) but I can atleast extract the DRAM settings! Just running sunxi-fw against the whole firmware image did the trick! @ 16: boot0: Allwinner boot0 size: 49152 bytes eGON checksum matches: 0xf6e7eb45 DRAM parameters: A64 H616 A133 DRAM clock : 600 600 600 DRAM type : 0x3 0x3 0x3 ZQ value : 0x3030303 - - ODT enabled : 0xe0e0e0e 0x1 - DX ODT : - 0x3030303 0x3030303 DX DRI : - 0xe0e0e0e 0xe0e0e0e CA DRI : - 0x1f12 0x1f12 PARA0 : - - 0x1 PARA1 : 0x1f12 0x30fb 0x30fb PARA2 : 0x1 0x8000000 0x8000000 MR0 : 0x30fb 0x1f14 0x1f14 MR1 : 0x8000000 0x4 0x4 MR2 : 0x1f14 0x20 0x20 MR3 : 0x4 0 0 TPR0 : 0x20 0xc0001002 0 TPR1 : 0 0x80000000 0 TPR2 : 0 0 0xc0001002 TPR3 : 0 0 0x80000000 TPR6 : 0 0x33808080 0x33808080 TPR10 : 0 0x2f1107 0x2f1107 TPR11 : 0 0xddddcccc 0xddddcccc TPR12 : 0xc0001002 0xeddc7665 0xeddc7665 TPR13 : 0x80000000 0x6041 0x6041 DRAM parameters 1: A64 H616 A133 DRAM clock : 600 600 600 DRAM type : 0x3 0x3 0x3 ZQ value : 0x3030303 - - ODT enabled : 0xe0e0e0e 0x1 - DX ODT : - 0x3030303 0x3030303 DX DRI : - 0xe0e0e0e 0xe0e0e0e CA DRI : - 0x1c12 0x1c12 PARA0 : - - 0x1 PARA1 : 0x1c12 0x30fb 0x30fb PARA2 : 0x1 0 0 MR0 : 0x30fb 0x840 0x840 MR1 : 0 0x4 0x4 MR2 : 0x840 0x8 0x8 MR3 : 0x4 0 0 TPR0 : 0x8 0xc0000a05 0 TPR2 : 0 0 0xc0000a05 TPR6 : 0 0x33808080 0x33808080 TPR10 : 0 0x2f0006 0x2f0006 TPR11 : 0 0xddddcccc 0xddddcccc TPR12 : 0xc0000a05 0xeddc7564 0xeddc7564 TPR13 : 0 0x40 0x40 DRAM parameters 2: A64 H616 A133 DRAM clock : 600 600 600 DRAM type : 0x3 0x3 0x3 ZQ value : 0x3030303 - - ODT enabled : 0xe0e0e0e 0x1 - DX ODT : - 0x3030303 0x3030303 DX DRI : - 0xe0e0e0e 0xe0e0e0e CA DRI : - 0x1c12 0x1c12 PARA0 : - - 0x1 PARA1 : 0x1c12 0x30fb 0x30fb PARA2 : 0x1 0 0 MR0 : 0x30fb 0x840 0x840 MR1 : 0 0x4 0x4 MR2 : 0x840 0x8 0x8 MR3 : 0x4 0 0 TPR0 : 0x8 0xc0000a05 0 TPR2 : 0 0 0xc0000a05 TPR6 : 0 0x33808080 0x33808080 TPR10 : 0 0x2f0006 0x2f0006 TPR11 : 0 0xddddcccc 0xddddcccc TPR12 : 0xc0000a05 0xeddc7564 0xeddc7564 TPR13 : 0 0x40 0x40 DRAM parameters 3: A64 H616 A133 DRAM clock : 600 600 600 DRAM type : 0x3 0x3 0x3 ZQ value : 0x3030303 - - ODT enabled : 0xe0e0e0e 0x1 - DX ODT : - 0x3030303 0x3030303 DX DRI : - 0xe0e0e0e 0xe0e0e0e CA DRI : - 0x1c12 0x1c12 PARA0 : - - 0x1 PARA1 : 0x1c12 0x30fb 0x30fb PARA2 : 0x1 0 0 MR0 : 0x30fb 0x840 0x840 MR1 : 0 0x4 0x4 MR2 : 0x840 0x8 0x8 MR3 : 0x4 0 0 TPR0 : 0x8 0xc0000a05 0 TPR2 : 0 0 0xc0000a05 TPR6 : 0 0x33808080 0x33808080 TPR10 : 0 0x2f0006 0x2f0006 TPR11 : 0 0xddddcccc 0xddddcccc TPR12 : 0xc0000a05 0xeddc7564 0xeddc7564 TPR13 : 0 0x40 0x40 DRAM parameters 4: A64 H616 A133 DRAM clock : 600 600 600 DRAM type : 0x3 0x3 0x3 ZQ value : 0x3030303 - - ODT enabled : 0xe0e0e0e 0x1 - DX ODT : - 0x3030303 0x3030303 DX DRI : - 0xe0e0e0e 0xe0e0e0e CA DRI : - 0x1c12 0x1c12 PARA0 : - - 0x1 PARA1 : 0x1c12 0x30fb 0x30fb PARA2 : 0x1 0 0 MR0 : 0x30fb 0x840 0x840 MR1 : 0 0x4 0x4 MR2 : 0x840 0x8 0x8 MR3 : 0x4 0 0 TPR0 : 0x8 0xc0000a05 0 TPR2 : 0 0 0xc0000a05 TPR6 : 0 0x33808080 0x33808080 TPR10 : 0 0x2f0006 0x2f0006 TPR11 : 0 0xddddcccc 0xddddcccc TPR12 : 0xc0000a05 0xeddc7564 0xeddc7564 TPR13 : 0 0x40 0x40 DRAM parameters 5: A64 H616 A133 DRAM clock : 600 600 600 DRAM type : 0x3 0x3 0x3 ZQ value : 0x3030303 - - ODT enabled : 0xe0e0e0e 0x1 - DX ODT : - 0x3030303 0x3030303 DX DRI : - 0xe0e0e0e 0xe0e0e0e CA DRI : - 0x1c12 0x1c12 PARA0 : - - 0x1 PARA1 : 0x1c12 0x30fb 0x30fb PARA2 : 0x1 0 0 MR0 : 0x30fb 0x840 0x840 MR1 : 0 0x4 0x4 MR2 : 0x840 0x8 0x8 MR3 : 0x4 0 0 TPR0 : 0x8 0xc0000a05 0 TPR2 : 0 0 0xc0000a05 TPR6 : 0 0x33808080 0x33808080 TPR10 : 0 0x2f0006 0x2f0006 TPR11 : 0 0xddddcccc 0xddddcccc TPR12 : 0xc0000a05 0xeddc7564 0xeddc7564 TPR13 : 0 0x40 0x40 DRAM parameters 6: A64 H616 A133 DRAM clock : 600 600 600 DRAM type : 0x3 0x3 0x3 ZQ value : 0x3030303 - - ODT enabled : 0xe0e0e0e 0x1 - DX ODT : - 0x3030303 0x3030303 DX DRI : - 0xe0e0e0e 0xe0e0e0e CA DRI : - 0x1c12 0x1c12 PARA0 : - - 0x1 PARA1 : 0x1c12 0x30fb 0x30fb PARA2 : 0x1 0 0 MR0 : 0x30fb 0x840 0x840 MR1 : 0 0x4 0x4 MR2 : 0x840 0x8 0x8 MR3 : 0x4 0 0 TPR0 : 0x8 0xc0000a05 0 TPR2 : 0 0 0xc0000a05 TPR6 : 0 0x33808080 0x33808080 TPR10 : 0 0x2f0006 0x2f0006 TPR11 : 0 0xddddcccc 0xddddcccc TPR12 : 0xc0000a05 0xeddc7564 0xeddc7564 TPR13 : 0 0x40 0x40 DRAM parameters 7: A64 H616 A133 DRAM clock : 600 600 600 DRAM type : 0x3 0x3 0x3 ZQ value : 0x3030303 - - ODT enabled : 0xe0e0e0e 0x1 - DX ODT : - 0x3030303 0x3030303 DX DRI : - 0xe0e0e0e 0xe0e0e0e CA DRI : - 0x1f12 0x1f12 PARA0 : - - 0x1 PARA1 : 0x1f12 0x30fb 0x30fb PARA2 : 0x1 0 0 MR0 : 0x30fb 0x840 0x840 MR1 : 0 0x4 0x4 MR2 : 0x840 0x8 0x8 MR3 : 0x4 0 0 TPR0 : 0x8 0xc0001002 0 TPR2 : 0 0 0xc0001002 TPR6 : 0 0x33808080 0x33808080 TPR10 : 0 0x2f1107 0x2f1107 TPR11 : 0 0xddddcccc 0xddddcccc TPR12 : 0xc0001002 0xeddc7665 0xeddc7665 TPR13 : 0 0x40 0x40

One interface is for STA (client mode / normal wireless) and one for AP (access point, where you connect to) or P2P (Wi-Fi Direct). Some firmware / drivers enables this by default. Usually it is in Makefile (just example https://github.com/armbian/rtl8723ds/blob/main/Makefile) but it could also be deep in the code. Don't know.

I don't have a "boot_a", just a regular "boot". Isn't that "_a"/"_b" thing just a redundancy thing on some android devices? Also do I HAVE to use this "gradlew" program? Because it just errors out with some mystery "25.0.1" error code. qwerty@cod-waw-grenade-spam:~/Documents/compiling/Android_boot_image_editor$ ./gradlew unpack ./bootload er.img WARNING: A restricted method in java.lang.System has been called WARNING: java.lang.System::load has been called by net.rubygrapefruit.platform.internal.NativeLibraryLoa der in an unnamed module (file:/home/qwerty/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-8.14-bin/38aieal9i53h9rfe7vjup9 5b9/gradle-8.14/lib/native-platform-0.22-milestone-28.jar) WARNING: Use --enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED to avoid a warning for callers in this module WARNING: Restricted methods will be blocked in a future release unless native access is enabled FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: 25.0.1 * Try: > Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. > Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. > Run with --scan to get full insights. > Get more help at https://help.gradle.org.

This is true, but people should also talk about command line utilities that are bloated and slow. (Why does it have to build stuff on first run?)

Thanks laibsch, A little bit better, but this is a partial solution. Start button still missing. to turn off computer I have enter shutdown on cmd. And "logout" what is the command to log out? I am looking for solution on cinnamon forum but nothing until now.

The first image that boots ok down the list of older images is Armbian_25.5.1_Nanopim4v2_bookworm_current_6.12.28_minimal.img.xz Could not get those images to boot: Armbian_25.5.1_Nanopim4v2_trixie_current_6.12.32_minimal.img.xz Armbian_25.5.1_Nanopim4v2_noble_current_6.12.28_minimal.img.xz Armbian_25.8.1_Nanopim4v2_bookworm_current_6.12.41_minimal.img.xz Anyway, I am happy using the one I found booting. Thanks

Oh I get it. Since you are using another distro with newer versions of everything, my effort to build ffmpeg and mpv in Debian Trixie LOOKS like a backport to you XD

Ah sweet! Thank you! Honestly a lot of my frustration came from not being able to find stuff, so these links are a massive help!

Now I did exactly this and after rebooting the Pi, I just get a black screen with a movable mouse cursor. Nothing more, it doesn’t matter how long I wait. What problem is this now?

With 6.12, no changes as far as I know

You can remove packages in Discover.

I have changed it to public。 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vyQGR8kgzhCzmwuXhb8q5j707U9IXFob/view?usp=sharing And images of my board: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mKd1T83COy1KDLsmb9PbNnlm5FhdrBbV?usp=sharing

For the source code, after a bit of searching, I found https://de3.mirror.archlinuxarm.org I don't know if this will help you. I also tried the MiniArch-20240715-6.17.1-board-a527.cubie_a5e-SD-Image.img image, but it doesn't work either.

@djonessIf you can find the source code for this image that would help. MiniArch-20231112-6.6.2-board-h313.x96_q-SD-Image.img Have you tried miniarch latest images?

this link is private, please change it to public,

Alt-F2?

Try pipewire instead of pulseaudio

Thank you for sharing. You might want to have a look at Shrink Backup as well.

Hi @Nick A Thanks for your feedback. I've already tried that version, but it doesn't work either. The motherboard says BA301_141 V4.1 20244; could that be related to compatibility? Thanks

@djoness My build uses the miniarch patches. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/tag/20250306 Here's a direct link to X96q ddr3 server image. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/download/20250306/Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-ddr3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server.img.xz

Official development for inclusion in upstream are carried out by working on the project's main branch. That's exactly what this pull request branch does by tracking the project's master tree. Applying commits to anything else is backporting. Backporting is possible, but you will have to deal with the consequences yourself that arise from your outdated versions lacking the functions required for your backport, and you may need to backport those as well. Since this project is a user program and not a framework with libraries that other programs depend on, it is solely the user who has to deal with it as a dependency in its use. At first, I also tried to use the sources of the current release version as a base, but since the commits couldn't be applied without errors, I simply built the current master branch. For the FFMPEG framework, this is already a whole different ballgame. There are many programs, which mpv is just one, that depend on the libraries and need to be rebuilt accordingly in case of an upgrade. Since my chosen distribution recently released ffmpeg 8.0 and thus made all dependent programs available accordingly, I just had to rebuild the ffmpeg package with the v4l2request support commits and put that in place. And since the commits could be applied to the current release sources without any errors, I didn't even need to switch to the master branch.

Hi DrEaD. Thanks for your reply. I've already tested that version, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Also, if there's a version without a graphical interface, I'd be interested, as I'd like to use it in server mode, like with Home Assistant. Thanks.

As I mentioned before, I am a Newby and I am able to use the Terminal. But I don’t know, what to do to remove knotes.

What do you mean by "normal" and WiFi direct?

I thought this was the best way: official latest mpv + pull request i am not trying to backport it. I want to make it work in trixie.
