Seems like I got some progress/regress with the board - I added some extra arguments in the armbianEnv.txt file - verbosity=7 and extraargs debug to try and see what the reason for the freeze might be and these three jobs were stuck, resulting in a kernel panic (end Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_On_set_idle_set) - systemd-udev-trigger.service/start, dev-ttyFIQ0.device/start and systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service/start. Tried disabling the FIQ0 node in the dts (at least I think so), but the UART just stopped and it hanged again (the Armsom Sige 5 also has this in its dt). Managed to get a few times in initramfs, but it wans't helping me in the slightest. When adding init=/bin/bash, I could also avoid the hang, but it wasn't that productive.

There is a write-up about this: https://zuckerbude.org/armbian-using-kernel-config/ Check the tl;dr: part.

@gpio123 yes it is. See https://github.com/Nighthater/CM3588-NAS-Case.

I tested NickA's armbian build, so I could get the cedrus+v4l2 improvements that would allow me to get h264 acceleration... but in my ili9488 I got these playback errors and 100% CPU usage with a 720p video in a 480x320 screen I will try with an HDMI LCD now: (typed command from an SSH session) The HDMI LCD just turns black. But I think this may be because I am using openbox... I think everyone else is using xfce UPDATE: I installed the xfce environment, selected it, and I still get a black LCD screen... I will try with the armbian official... does it now offer linux 6.13 with the edge kernel option?

Thanks for the update, I will create a fresh build this weekend. The only downside is that 6.6.x is now considered legacy. mue473, have you had a chance to test with the latest 6.12.x or higher for any module loading related issues? cheers Ryzer

Hello I having an issue to run armbian on tv box x96q with h313 board version is 5.1. I found sicXnull guide and made img using standart ./compile.sh. Choosing minimal server, no kernel mods and x96q board. Flash it to sd via balena etcher. Plug in sd without power, holding reset for 5, 10 and 15 sec while plug in power. Nothing happening on the screen or with box itself Then after some research i found this image from same guy but its decktop ver and its worked just fine. https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/releases name Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q-v5-1_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img.xz I spot some differense in dtb files folder Decktop version have a sun50i-h313-x96q-ddr3-v5.1.dtb file but mine server ver dont. Can it be the issue?

1) What is the correct way to make kernel configuration changes? I have attempted to: ./compile.sh BOARD=bananapim4zero BRANCH=edge kernel-config saved config,. and then ./compile.sh BOARD=bananapim4zero BRANCH=edge kernel However,after installing the kernel I found the config changes were not applied. I then reran: ./compile.sh BOARD=bananapim4zero BRANCH=edge kernel-config and I see that the config changes I made have been reverted. 2) How to clean the kernel and force a rebuild? I tried ./compile.sh BOARD=bananapim4zero BRANCH=edge CLEAN_LEVEL="make-kernel" kernel But the kernel was not cleaned, nor rebuilt. Thank you!

Try compiling this version from https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/tree/X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3 git clone https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build.git --branch=X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3 cd armbian-build ./compile.sh choose "Show CSC/WIP/EOS/TVB" Select "x96q-v1-3"

The board.

Try my latest images maybe they will work for you https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/tag/20250306

On my NanoPi-NEOs I have seen this several times/years /etc# grep -d skip buster * armbian-distribution-status:buster=eos;upgrade=bullseye,bookworm,trixie,testing armbian-image-release:DISTRIBUTION_CODENAME=buster mime.types:application/rpki-ghostbusters gbr grep: motd: No such file or directory So I guess those files need some other text

Windows doesn't support proper file systems like btrfs or ext4 by default. You need a driver for such in order to read those or use anything but Windows. moved, title replaced

https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#can-i-upgrade-my-userspace-flavor-like-bullseye-to-bookworm-or-jammy-to-noble There is some package (base-files or rootfs, bsp, whatever, cannot remember) that contains this information. Yours is probably outdated. Replace accordingly.

Just tried booting with a SD card made using instructions from page 2 of this thread. Just boots into normal Android OS Tried using a toothpick in the audio port, just get a black screen Any advice on how to get the box to boot from SD card?

Hey, guys, I just upgraded my OrangePi Zero. Everything seems to be working, but I'm disturbed by incorrect information on the home page: v25.2.3 for Orange Pi Zero running Armbian Linux 6.12.20-current-sunxi Packages: Debian end of life (buster), possible distro upgrade (bookworm) Support: DIY (community maintained) Please advise me how to make Armbian correctly display the installed version. Thank you.

The DTS I posted before works for up to Linux 6.11 If anybody wants to use ili9488 in Linux 6.13, this is the modified DTS to use: Notice the new lines commented with "new for linux 6.13" Remenber that the firmware file must be named panel-mipi-dbi-spi.bin and copied to /lib/firmware I will test this with Linux 6.12 shortly... update: it works with linux 6.12.20 (The Going's repo) and 6.12.11 (NickA's repo, self built, not downloaded image) For reference, I discuss the process of finding this solution here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/50418-dont-use-kernel-61216-on-sunxi64/page/2/#findComment-215554

Thank you for the suggestion At first it didn't work... then I tried: fragment@0 { target = <&spi1>; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&spi1_pins>; cs-gpios = <&pio 7 9 0>,<&pio 2 15 0>; // PH9=CS0 for lcd, PC15=CS1 for touch ... Because I use non default CS pins The ili9488 LCD is now working in linux 6.13 ... the touch screen is also working with the evtest command I will post the whole DTS in my ili9488 thread

google/AI Hint: ext4

Windows wont let me edit/access the SD card once the iso has been written to it. Any help?

Some basic information would be very helpful. What image are you using (exact file name for the image please). What install steps did you perform? Can you include a screen shot/picture of what exactly you are seeing on screen? A capture of the boot log (either via uart or pictures of what is on screen can be helpful too).

This means that the missing pins should be written something like this: fragment@0 { target = <&spi1>; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&spi1_pins>, <&spi1_cs0_pin>, <&spi1_cs1_pin>;

currently on the newst minimal version, it works fine, all ports work, I'm currently trying to manually install a xfce4, but lightdm.service isn't working. EDIT - got a desktop to work via console, but i need to install anydesk, sadly it seems im missing multiple libraries bc sudo apt install anydesk tries to use a version for raspberry pi. let me elaborate what I'm trying to do. I want to use my rk3229 as a wake on wan server, i cannot port forward, because my ISP doesnt allow it, I ask you to not suggest ways to port forward ive tried all of them, my isp locks down their router with no option for bridge mode. my hope was to use anydesk, bc it has a native wake on wan feature as long as 2 machines are in the network. EDIT 2 - I GOT IT! but I went with SSH terminal using tailscale for the connection, since I can't port forward, I'm sorry if anyone needs help, bc I dunno what I did, I spent a day taking photos of my screen and sending it to gemini (first good use of AI)
