The code I am trying to run modifies the framebuffer /dev/fb0, I seen that the code works properly on Linux 5.15 on a Raspberry Pi, but not on 6.x. I tried on Armbian with Linux 6.x but I got also a bad behavior that is why I wanted to test the old kernel. About real-time, it is because I need that the process executions are not interrupted by the kernel. Probably, it may be better for me to understand why the code doesn't work on 6.x.

I have deployed Debian Trixie from download pages - with success. Moved my HA instance on it without any troubles.

that may be a hard task, so let's get into the obvious question first: Why do you need such an old kernel? I understand it's LTS, but the question is still why it has to be this kernel and not another.

Try the following: Armbian_25.8.1_Nanopi-r3s-lts_bookworm_current_6.12.41_minimal.img https://dl.armbian.com/nanopi-r3s-lts/Bookworm_current_minimal

OK. So solution is to properly writing SD. Armbian_25.5.2_Nanopi-r3s-lts_bookworm_current_6.12.34_minimal and the same result Armbian_25.5.2_Nanopi-r3s-lts_noble_current_6.12.34.

Yes. I also used gnome-disks and didn't bother to decompress, as it is not required to do so. Which img are you writing exactly?

Yes I tried. With no result. I even tried to write (decompressed) image by "gnome disks" graphic tool on Debian. With no result also. Board behaves like no system on SD (blink red led and no activity led on ethernets, except one on WAN). So the question is: if to insert properly recorded Armbian SD to x86 Debian, system have to recognize partition and read content of it, right?

Well, I can't tell why USB imager doesn't work nicely. I use it ... sometimes media is not recognized and restarting it usually helps and that is the only problem I experienced with it. For other issues check https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/usbimager/-/issues There is some note that might be relevant: Another alternative tools is RPi Imager. Issues are known and those were my personal experiences while trying to understand why it doesn't work anymore. This was about a year ago, bug was filed at Balena and it seems they didn't fix it yet. Since nothing happened for months, we simply start recommending other tools. Which might not be perfect either - according to troubles you are experiencing.

Hello, I am new using the "build" tool. I am trying to compile Armbian using this config: # Board and kernel selection BOARD="rock-4se" # e.g., "odroidc4", "orangepi5", etc. BRANCH="current" RELEASE="jammy" # or "bookworm" for Debian # Build options BUILD_MINIMAL="yes" BUILD_DESKTOP="no" KERNEL_CONFIGURE="no" KERNEL_BTF=no # Use custom kernel KERNELSOURCE="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git" KERNELBRANCH="tag:v5.15.92-rt57" # Enable RT patch KERNEL_USE_GCC="yes" KERNEL_COMPILER="aarch64-linux-gnu-" # or aarch64-linux-gnu- for ARM64 # Disable non-needed drivers SKIP_EXTERNAL="yes" SKIP_BOOTSPLASH="yes" BUILD_KSRC="no" ENABLE_WIRELESS="no" BLUETOOTH_SUPPORT="no" WIREGUARD="no" DRIVER_UWE5622="no" DRIVER_RTL8723DU="no" DRIVER_RTL8723DS="no" I stored it in userpatches/config-rock-4se.h and I compile using ./compile.sh rock-4se. I get this error with wireless patches, it seems that they are not compatible with this kernel (?)

Is this not done by default, yet? Even on the latest images? @twwn Would you be kind enough to test / comment as well?

Never too late to express gratitude and say "Thank you for sharing your findings"

hey @Igor I tried USBImager but it's not playing nicely - 1st it wasn't letting me select the image. Then I realised that for some reason the "Downloads" link in the app's search wasn't working correctly and wasn't showing me all of the files that I knew were there. If I manually navigate to c:\users\xxx\Downloads then the files show up 2nd it wouldn't let me select my external 256GB micro SD card (via USB key with an SD adaptor) - the card just wasn't available as an option in the drop-down list. This may have been because my antivirus had locked the card while it completed it's scan? 3rd it looks like the "GO" button is hidden behind the other fields and I just can't select it. I've tried with both mouse and just tabbing but no joy See screenshot below (obviously, the red box is me highlighting what I think is hidden) You mention that BalenaEtcher can't handle large images but if too big a size is an issue (that's what she said!) then I wonder if maybe the 256GB micro SD card might also be a limitation? Deep breaths. Count to 10. It's all good learning Admittedly, 20 years ago I probably wouldn't have been so patient 🤣🤣 Really appreciate all of the advice being shared here. That's what "Community" is about 👍👍

Apologies for the late reply. That error sounds like running out of space on the filesystem (maybe the tmpfs portions?), not running out of RAM, that would give you a different error.

The audio codec issue

@c0rnelius is the maintainer of the board. Maybe he has something to say.

When I did apt upgrade and didn't encounter any problems, I suspected that it was related to a bug in a specific version.

So essentially it is about adding/fixing analog audio (3.5mm plug) es83xx in mainline kernel. I am maybe lucky that there is another analog chip in Radxa ROCK5B, but I have also noticed strange (too high too low) volume levels initially, but cannot reproduce anymore as 1 of the distros is Opensuse Tumbleweed and the specific snapshot version is already deleted. It worked fine a month ago (Opensuse Tumbleweed on top of EDK2-UEFI v1.1 in SPI-flash ), but runs Armbian Trixie/Testing now as server, don't know about audio. I use pulseaudio via network normally, but that is broken? in Debian/Ubuntu for 3 years or so as pipewire is default and pipewire-pulse is not native pulseaudio. But I haven't looked into it the last 2 years or so. I had it working in bullseye and upgraded to bookworm needed removing all pipewire stuff to keep it working. New bookworm/Armbian I never got it working. In the end, it is Xunlong I guess selling the HW and not delivering mainline kernel features. Some cheap N100 boards use a well supported USB audio chip, RPi5 removed 3.5mm audio completely, the workaround is to buy a cheap USB audio dongle. So see for yourself how you fulfill your audio requirements. When I bought my ROCK5B, the OPI5plus was about 25 euros cheaper, but it is the onboard power supply circuit and SATA options that made me buy from Radxa and also that the ROCK5B is used by Collabora. It is long time (decade) ago I did some (local) changes to kernel sources, that was torwalds or mainline tree, for Armbian, look in latest build docs options. It is something with kernel-config, you can then pause things and change sources. But better to see if you can manage to fix directly on mainline kernel git.

H618 Orange Pi Zero2 – SPI/I2C/UART overlays not working after armbianEnv.txt edit I’m using Orange Pi Zero2 (H616) with Armbian. I edited /boot/armbianEnv.txt to enable SPI/I2C/UART, but GPIO pins for SPI/I2C/UART are not working. gpio readall shows OFF or wrong ALT modes. overlay_prefix=sun50i-h616 overlays=spi-spidev spidev1_1 uart5 i2c3-ph 229 SDA.3 ALT5 228 SCL.3 ALT5 231 MOSI.1 OFF 232 MISO.1 OFF 230 SCLK.1 OFF ... sun50i-h616-bananapi-m4-spi1-cs0-cs1-spidev.dtbo sun50i-h616-bananapi-m4-spi1-cs0-spidev.dtbo sun50i-h616-bananapi-m4-spi1-cs1-spidev.dtbo sun50i-h616-i2c3-ph.dtbo sun50i-h616-uart5.dtbo ...

Thank you for your help. I attached log of first minute console log of original Android. Hope this can clarify things. It states some important info like [00.495]PMU: AXP1530, voltage levels and other hardware details. To clarify boot process with mniarch: It also shows mmc data error, however it does not stop there. androboot.txt

Yes, validation always succsess. I tried even different SD cards (brand new Sandisk). After Armbian fails to boot I write stock friendlyelec image by the same tool and stock image always properly boot

I never used RKDevTool because I'm on Linux. I understand the instructions as follows: Download RKDevTool, Wipe_part and Clear_EMMC_yy3568.zip from the links in the original post. The zip contains the config for RKDevTool from Nicolas. The included file path will not work on your system. You have to adjust these that uboot.img, miniloader.bin and parameter.txt from the Clear_EMMC_yy3568 are used and the separately downloaded wipe_part. I assume that at the next boot some partitions on EMMC are cleared and in consequence booting from SDcard is activated.

Armbian's archives can be uncompressed with 7-Zip on Windows, Keka on OS X and 7z on Linux. Images shall only be written with imaging tools that validate burning results. This saves you from corrupted SD card contents. Approved Tools: USBImager a lightweight cross-platform imaging tool Balena Etcher an electron / node.js based cross-platform imaging tool (may contain spyware) Did the validation of you burning the image succeed?
