This fixed the issue with Chromium. I simply created a file /etc/armbian/cromium.conf with the contents you provided and chromium opened perfectly.

It appears that the fsck file check reports a clean system then continues to boot? From the above log of the UART console, I see that uboot found the SD card partition and loaded the kernel from it. The kernel saw the root partition of the SD card, but after checking fsck.ext4 -a -C0 /dev/mmcblk0p1, for some reason, it cannot mount it. When you have written the image to the SD card, try to mount it in your running OS and fix it in the file /boot/armbianEnv.txt verbosity=7. After that, boot up and watch the UART. This may provide additional clues.

I initially did an apt full-upgrade (dist-upgrade) which caused the issue. The current image doesn't boot at all (see above). I just loaded an older image from the archives (Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepilite_bullseye_current_5.15.93.img.xz) onto an SD and this booted fine. Maybe there's an issue with uboot or the kernel on the new image and this replaced my previously working install?

Briefly tried with Bullseye and the fans don't even come on. Could be the "refusing to boot without drives" behavior mentioned before. Will try both Bullseye and Buster on my original machine on Sunday and see if anything changes.

I tried loading the current image (Debian 12 (Bookworm)) on another SD card from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-lite/ and it doesn't boot at all (green light doesn't come on). Could this have something to do with my issue?

Just performed an apt-upgrade. It appears that the fsck file check reports a clean system then continues to boot?

The same issue with Kernel 6.12.23, my flashdrive can not be found. Kernel 6.6.75 is still doing its work

Maybe not for the ROCK 5 ITX, but for my ROCK 5 B (no eMMC) I can get EDK2-UEFI (v1.1) loaded from SPI or SD. The problem is with all those many Rockchips boards is that they have varying or unknown strategy or setting what the priority of boot devices is. AFAIK seen in some schematics, SARADC and some resistor tree is used. Then it also depends if the U-Boot or EDK2-UEFI or else is hopping to other (MaskROM) readable device or not. I saw it all can be configured in U-Boot (seen on denx.de) but it seems to me that it is almost impossible to make a generic solution. The various wikis seem to describe what is needed to get things working, but my v1.46 ROCK 5 B does not have a header/jumper where I can disable SPI. I see that on Radxa wiki, but older board version I guess. My ROCK 3 A has that header/jumper, so that I used to force only SD-card. For my ROCK 5 B zeroing or erasing SPI is the solution. If I keep Armbian U-Boot edge in SPI, the UEFI on SD-card is ignored. Another thing I also might have had earlier is that the secondary/backup GPT at the and of the device could have still be there, so that is or can be a conflicting situation, for a bootloader, I don't know what is checked in U-Boot etc for example. But if no plans with rest of SD-card I mostly do the use 'sudo blkdiscard' then on the whole SD-card, so all wiped and trimmed.

Armbian packages get updated now, so now upgrading to 25.8.0-trunk.100, from .87 I did earlier yesterday. Also now running 6.15.0-edge-rockchip64 with EDK2-UEFI v1.1 in SPI. Need setting to DeviceTree as the default (Both = ACPI and DeviceTree) seems to confuse 6.15.0-edge-rockchip64, got only serial console only or stall somewhere in boot process.

Alternatively, you can try disabling this file system verification service by connecting the SD card to a virtual machine and fixing the appropriate scripts.

What have you been updating? Only system files?

I increased the verbosity of the boot log using verbosity=7 in the ArmbianEnv.txt and this is the result: U-Boot SPL 2022.07-armbian (Feb 17 2023 - 22:31:53 +0000) DRAM: 512 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 U-Boot 2022.07-armbian (Feb 17 2023 - 22:31:53 +0000) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner H3 (SUN8I 1680) Model: Xunlong Orange Pi Lite DRAM: 512 MiB Core: 61 devices, 16 uclasses, devicetree: separate WDT: Not starting watchdog@1c20ca0 MMC: mmc@1c0f000: 0, mmc@1c10000: 1 Loading Environment from FAT...

Jens J, woah, I didn't know that you can just split bootloader like that! I did that, and so far, it looks good! TV Box boots into u-boot with this SD card, and it has a partition table. Thank you so much! Now I'll try to make an SD card with system on it

@ovacikar Did you manage to get this fully working? What does this kernel bring? I saw recently hw acc is now working, did you manage to get this working? Im asking because this weekend im going to try to get mine all up to date and see if i can get it be a simple media player

Hi guys, I updated my Orange Pi Lite some time ago and it caused it to stop booting. The boot log is below. Can someone please help me recover this? I'm not sure where to start.

So when writing the u-boot to SD card, you need to follow a special process to "skip" over some bytes to prevent trashing the partition table. see https://www.cnx-software.com/2016/11/19/how-to-create-a-bootable-recovery-sd-card-for-amlogic-tv-boxes/ TLDR, something like: sudo umount /dev/sdX* sudo dd if=aml_sdc_burn.UBOOT of=/dev/sdX bs=1 count=442 sudo dd if=aml_sdc_burn.UBOOT of=/dev/sdX seek=1 skip=1 bs=512 sync

Have you tried `/boot/dtb/amlogic/meson-gxm-mini-m8s-pro.dtb` ? What is wifi chip? Is it LTM8830? If so this is QCA9377 clone, and this dtb should be fully working.

Any luck yet? I have a v4.1 board. None of the image is working. Anyone tried these ? https://github.com/velvet-os/imagebuilder/blob/main/systems/allwinner_h616/readme.md

Hi everyone, I’m working on a custom Armbian build for an RK3588-based board (cm3588-nas) and trying to completely disable the Rockchip crypto driver (rk_crypto2), since it's negatively impacting LUKS (AES-XTS) performance. Despite several attempts, the module continues to register algorithms in /proc/crypto after boot: driver : rk2-sm3 module : rk_crypto2 driver : rk2-sha512 module : rk_crypto2 driver : xts-aes-rk2 module : rk_crypto2 ... ------------------------------------------------------------ What I’ve Tried ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Kernel Config Override - Added CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_ROCKCHIP=n and CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_ROCKCHIP2=n to: userpatches/linux-rockchip-rk3588-edge.config - Verified .config has it set to n after build. - Used CLEAN_LEVEL="make,debs,oldcache" in the build command. 2. Blacklisting & Deletion in customize-image.sh echo "blacklist rk_crypto" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rk_crypto.conf rm -f /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/crypto/rockchip/rk_crypto.ko* 3. Post-Boot Verification - lsmod | grep rk_crypto → empty - modinfo rk_crypto → module not found - /proc/crypto still shows rk2-* drivers tied to rk_crypto2 4. Manual Source Removal - Commented out this line in drivers/crypto/rockchip/Makefile: # obj-$(CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_ROCKCHIP) += rk_crypto.o - Also removed or disabled its Kconfig entry. ------------------------------------------------------------ System Details ------------------------------------------------------------ Board : cm3588-nas (RK3588) Kernel : rockchip-rk3588 edge (Linux 6.8.x) Builder : Official Armbian compile.sh ------------------------------------------------------------ Goal ------------------------------------------------------------ I want to fully disable the Rockchip crypto engine (rk_crypto2): - It should not load, not build, and not register anything in /proc/crypto. - LUKS should fall back to software crypto (cryptd, aesni, or default fallback). ------------------------------------------------------------ Any help is appreciated. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s successfully disabled rk_crypto2 entirely or has ideas for where the registration is coming from even when the module appears removed. Thanks!

We keep (most of) old images here: https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/archive/ https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/oldarchive/

I see, now I get it! So it's everyone's duty to keep around what they think might still be necessary ahead. Did not know of this quirk in the world of Linux. Definitely OT: This explains the running gag among data hoarders when they justify their ample storage space with "Linux ISOs" but really mean socially less accepted things.

Hi @Carlos Hartmann, Backups of anything are a good thing. So my advise would be to always keep the ISOs you downloaded somewhere 'safe'. Not that safe that you will forget where you stashed it of course (looking at you @djurny...). Groetjes,

Hi @Vodalex, Write down the MAC address of the interface you want to use to wake up the Helios4. ip link show You would need to put the Helios4 in suspend, by either: sudo pm-suspend or: echo 'suspend' | sudo tee /sys/power/state To wake it up, from another system, make sure that wakeonlan is installed. Then: wakeonlan ${HARDWARE_ADDRESS} That should be it. Groetjes,

Oh yes, I've been meaning to test an older version but didn't find any anywhere. Can you upload here directly? Maybe slightly OT: Do you know why older versions aren't preserved anywhere? I thought it'd be easy to find buster and bullseye images but didn't manage at all. Seems like it can't be too uncommon that a newer version causes issues and one has to fall back.
