i am working on same box you can contact me for its fix

I had similar experience, can't remember exact numbers and versions etc as I already considered it not going to work, so did not take notes. Was on NanoPi-R6C, so same RK3588S at least. I think I already had put 'serial' as console in the EDK2 setup (is in eMMC for NanoPi-R6C), but not the older display option (GOP or so, forgot it). For my trial it was just the kernel, so instead of the a latest edge-rockchip64 that works all fine with EDK2 v1.1 in my setup, it was the generic UEFI-ARM64 kernel. You use a full image, so I think something is missing or not implemented yet. Also, my main assumption was (and is), is that only serial console is working for a CLI image. I have always a serial console cable available/prepared, although you need an extra other computer, but your OPi5 should simply run, just display is not initialized. You can look in dmesg, there might be a lot of HDMI debug/info, might also be the kernel and your HDMI monitor experience miscommunication, timing issue. I rebooted again with 7.0-rc3 rockchip64 and that worked again. Now I did some apt pinning so I can install/use Debian sid kernel (6.19.11 at the moment). That works the same as the armbian build 7.0-rc3 rockchip64. Also Opensuse Tumbleweed with its default 6.19 kernel works fine.

On vendor kernel you need to enable overlay https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/extensions/mesa-vpu.sh#L18-L28 mainline based gnome desktop + apt install kodi (just tested 4k/H264 video works without any problems)

Thanks for the responses! TBH I am not very familiar with the software stack from userspace required for video playback. So, some questions: - @chaitan3: You mentioned using a custom ffmpeg for mpv. Do you know if ffmpeg is also needed for kodi (when just using it to playback videos, not converting)? In https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/14690#issuecomment-4159253319 you mentioned you used kernel 6.19, but this didn't have mainline support yet, maybe the situation with 7.0 is different? - Does anyone here have a rough idea what is still needed for Kodi (including the whole software stack below) to fully support HW video decoding on said platform (good if you know if specific PRs), without needing custom patches and possible ETA for that?

I have three identical Odroid HC 4 which has been running the same software and using the kernel 6.12.32-current-meson64. Their are configured as NAS where the data is split across all three devices and therefore their are running constantly. A couple of weeks ago began the fan on one of the machines behavior different. It would either be running a full speed or no running, it was no longer possible to control via PWM. Now last week did another one start with the same behavior. I was do the following to test and validate the issue: I have disable the fancontrol service and manually written to hwmon2/pwm1 to set the PWM. Which was possible on the healthy HC4, but on the unhealthy HC4 would it only be full speed or no speed. I have tried the latest version of Armbian Noble and Trixie the hwmon2/pwm1 is exposed but doesn't allow me to modify the speed of the fan. I have tried the official os image from Hardkernel and here does the fan work as expected.

Greetings, I have an Orange Pi 5 with the edk2 1.1 UEFI bios on the SPI, and an NVMe installed. The BIOS has been set to "Mainline" in the device tree option I tried visiting here https://armbian.com/boards/uefi-arm64 and burning the minimal current6.18.8 CLI image to my USB stick. The Orange Pi 5 displays the graphical grub menu with no problems, complete with penguin in the background etc, but once I choose the boot Armbian option, it displays a few lines of terminal output and then the monitor goes black as if the GPU is initializing and a desktop or graphic would be about to show - when instead, the monitor just reports no signal instead. The system isn't frozen, the perhiperals are on and I can alt+ctrl+del to reboot it. It's just attached to a very basic 1080p ASUS monitor that only does 60hz so I'm not sure what could be wrong Thanks for any advice

Since we do not add any Intel drivers this regression may come from upstream. You could test nightly build which have kernel 7.0. Also total random guess: Perhaps more recent kernels expect more recent firmware blobs, perhaps the ones on the board are outdated (or are expected to be on a different place)? No clue though through which package those are shipped though. Seems like the files have been touched last around 7 month ago: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/linux-firmware.git/tree/intel/iwlwifi

moved to tvboxes

@Sergioclr Well that is the u-boot root directory. Where the main Makefile is located. I added my own root_key.pem in the patch. You don't have to generate one. The root_key.pem for Allwinner H616/618/313 devices is not a single, universal file, but rather an RSA private key file used for signing bootloader images (TOC0) in secure boot implementations. In many commercial H616-based TV boxes, Secure Boot is enabled by the manufacturer, but the efuses (which store the root key hash) are not permanently locked, allowing the use of custom keys openssl genrsa -out root_key.pem

Hi, guys! I have a tablet Iconbit Skat LE that have android 4.2.2. I want to make from it a ha dashboard. So I found info that I can install armbian. But I have an issue, it doesn't contains my tablet or even company of it. So maybe someone can help to explain?

Same here, but on Orange Pi Zero (Allwinner)

Yesterday I flashed a new sd card (more space) for my rockpi-4b but after switching to the stable channel `armbian-config --cmd STABLE` the update keeps failing: $ sudo apt update Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie InRelease Hit:2 http://security.debian.org trixie-security InRelease Get:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-updates InRelease [47.3 kB] Hit:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-backports InRelease Hit:5 https://github.armbian.com/configng stable InRelease Get:6 http://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt trixie InRelease [39.4 kB] Get:7 http://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt trixie/trixie-utils arm64 Packages [21.4 kB] Get:8 http://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt trixie/trixie-desktop arm64 Packages [68 33 B] Fetched 115 kB in 2s (69.5 kB/s) 1 package can be upgraded.

Switching to rolling, updating there works (26.2.0-trunk.722). But the issue persists when switching back to stable. As there have been recent changes https://github.com/armbian/firmware/pull/117 and https://github.com/armbian/firmware/pull/119 and I couldn't find other error reports on the forum, I guess this is an issue of the image packaging. I also plugged back in the old sd card and that system updated without issues.

Good morning. root_key.pem (after compilation) is located in not in u-boot* (root directory). Is that right? Thanks in advance.

@tim zeng sure, but that's not - directly - related, since the Orange PI5 and the Orange Pi3 are different SOCs/SBCs. The only common trait is the poor SW support offered by the vendor.

I am experiencing an issue where the Intel BE200 Wi-Fi module stops working on the NanoPi R5C after upgrading to the latest Armbian v26.2.1 with newer kernels. The iwlwifi driver fails to initialize the device due to a missing configuration profile.

It seems there might be a regression or missing iwlwifi config definitions for the BE200 in the recent rockchip64 kernel builds. I would appreciate it if you could look into this. Thank you!

Hello, I have H96 Max TV box with RK3528 chip (4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, Android 13, build RZX.V01.20240924). Board: RK3528_DDR3_8X4_V12. Problem: Box does not boot from TF card at all. No HDMI output, no DHCP lease, nothing. What I have: TF card slot on the box 1x USB 2.0 port, 1x USB 3.0 port No serial/UART adapter (DEBUG header visible on PCB but not connected) Android 13 still working on EMMC ADB access with root What I tried: Built Armbian with BOARD=rk3528-tvbox BRANCH=legacy BUILD_MINIMAL=yes RELEASE=trixie Extracted DTB from Android boot partition, added to image Wrote image to TF card with dd Verified RKNS header at sector 64 - correct Tried replacing idbloader with one from our custom U-Boot build Original U-Boot on EMMC appears to ignore TF card completely Question: How to make original U-Boot boot from TF card? Or is there a way to install Armbian to EMMC safely while keeping ability to recover? Device AIDA64 info: Model: H96_Max_RK3528 Device: rk3528_box Hardware: rk30board Thank you!

Support for rotation is better in modern 6.18.y Linux. Fastest is to download image and try https://www.armbian.com/boards/roc-rk3399-pc But VPU acceleration in rotated screen might be a problem ... and you will need to generate Gnome desktop image to facilitate Wayland or no fun.

This week saw significant development activity across the Armbian ecosystem, with numerous enhancements to desktop environment support, including the addition of KDE Neon, KDE Plasma, MATE, and i3-wm, as well as improved branding and menu documentation. The desktop module was refactored for greater modularity and YAML-driven configuration, alongside fixes for theming and package removal tracking. Hardware support expanded with new device trees for NanoPC-T6 LTS Plus and Gateway DK, plus initial support for Arduino UNO Q (Qualcomm QRB2210) and additional USB Ethernet drivers. The build system received updates for kernel versions and distribution releases, notably bumping Ubuntu from plucky/noble to resolute. Automation and audit scripts were improved for reliability and scope, and documentation was updated to reflect the new tier model and branding. Overall, these changes strengthen Armbian's usability, hardware compatibility, and developer tooling.

I encountered the same issue. When I used the Orange Pi 3B image based on the 6.18 kernel, USB was not available, but when using the 6.1 vendor image, USB worked.

@Nick A Thank you！ That would be very helpful.⭐

@Sergioclr Search the forums for "PL2303HXA". I think it will work. After you compile your build, check build/cache/sources/u-boot-worktree/u-boot*; you should find root_key.pem there

Nice @Kevin su. my results with the eth0 working was similar to yours. but after an "ip link set down dev eth0" got those lower. whatever. Its alive after all!
