Thanks Igor for your work!

Thank you for that information, @Mechano. Did you ever get this board to work, with armbian or another image?

looks like a really cool machine. unfortunately, no maintainer in armbian and I am not aware if any of the regular developpers has that SBC. It seems to be based on the H618 which it shares with the Orange Pi Zero3 which is reported working with the latest Armbian release. Did this board ever work with an older release? Is this a regression? I see somebody else mentioning they have issues with the board booting, , apparently due to issues with thermal management. And your crash apparently started in pstate.

I am also available for testing new images on Orange Pi Zero 3, while I am new to this SBC I am happy to learn. Today I have installed "Armbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.38_Orangepizero3_bookworm_current_6.12.23_minimal.img" to use for NTP server purposes. I have successfully enabled uart5 by using "overlays=uart5" and seeing GPS data with "gpsmon /dev/ttyS1". However, I also want to use PPS signal coming from my Waveshare L76K module, and the pps device does not seem to be created. I have used the following dts, from this forum: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h616"; fragment@0 { target = <&pio>; __overlay__ { pps_pins: pps_pins { pins = "PC7"; function = "gpio_in"; }; }; }; fragment@1 { target-path = "/"; __overlay__ { pps@0 { compatible = "pps-gpio"; pinctrl-names = "default"; /* pinctrl-0 = <&pps_pins>; */ gpios = <&pio 2 7 0>; /* PC7 */ status = "okay"; }; }; }; }; Then I did "armbian-add-overlay sun50i-h616-pps-gpio.dts" followed by a reboot. Then I do not see any PPS device. Am I missing something else?

Nice. To help other users of the forum, it would be good if you shared what fixed the issue.

To be honest, I'm confused. You reference three different systems and it is unclear to me which one it is that FTBFS for you. Let's take a step back. Do you have the latest git tree of armbian/build? Do you have any local changes? What is the exact command you for compile.sh? I will try to reproduce the problem here.

Sparking between the wires on the poles produces high-frequency pulses of high power and transmits them through the wires to consumers of electricity. Household consumers such as a TV, vacuum cleaner, refrigerator do not have a built-in high-frequency protection filter and very often fail. As for the orange, it is not protected at all. My orange was just lying on the table and was connected by an Ethernet cable to the router. Both were not power up. Lightning struck a nearby building. The Ethernet cable caught an electromagnetic pulse. The orange burned down completely and the router has only 1 port damaged. You can draw your own conclusions.

Either ignore expired cert or wait until we fixed it.

Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

I have connected matrix led display on max7219 by spi to orangepi. Module max7219 have power supply from 5v. On some during a 220v power failure (sparking between wires suspended on poles), there were some disruptions in the 5v power supply. This damaged the max7219 modules and possible spi port on orange pi. After this failure, the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file contained a fragment of the logrotate file, the kernel on the orange pi is unable to initialize the spi port despite no wires being connected. After connecting a working orange pi to the max7219 module, the problem with spi initialization also appears. Dmesg does not show anything related to spi, there is no /dev/spi0.0 file. Is it possible that damage to the spi port blocks its initialization by the kernel? There was also a problem with playing music using mpd, after a while the music stops playing and the kernel reports that the sound card is not available. Re-running mpc play resumes playing music, but not for long.

This mode needs 80MHz pixel clock which is not in the table for clk-rk3568.c driver. You need a patch similar to https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/3/18/1337 to add this rate. FWIW 1280x800@63.59Hz isn't a very common mode

@jwillb00In this patch. Try changing 16 to 0. In both locations. Maybe I uploaded the image with these changes. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/blob/v20250306/patch/u-boot/u-boot-h616/153-add-tanix_tx6s_axp313_defconfig.patch +&mdio1 { + rmii_phy: ethernet-phy@0 { + compatible = "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22"; + reg = <0>; + }; +}; +

hey @Nick A, seems like when I build the image on my own the ethernet doesn't work? I tested with and without the modified kernel config and it happens either way. When I use the image you publish in the releases page, it works fine. Am i doing something wrong?

I would like to use my device as a VPN client, i.e. connect to a remote OpenVPN server. How can I enable the Tun/Tap module on my board?

Also need someone to test this: https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/incoming/igorpecovnik/orangepizero3/archive/

Thanks both!

Ok! Are you ready to test it?

Yes. And we will keep fork maintained as long as possible. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/feedback-requested-deprecating-core-supervised-i386-armhf-armv7/880968/313

Any up to date Armbian image using vendor kernel should include rknpu kernel driver oob. Mainline npu driver is still pending. You can try to backport it. Check rockchip kernel mailing list.

Hi We all started at some point. But overall prepare for some frustration We don't support this device. Support was added via community effort. May work, maybe not. We don't know nor do we track status of such configurations. Regarding OPi5+. It is using - in terms of ARM socs - a fairly recent SoC, the Rockchip RK3588. Mainline support is far from feature-complete. Will take a few additional years to complete. If you need an almost feature-complete kernel, you have to use vendor branch which is based on Rockchip BSP. current (Linux 6.12.y LTS at this time) has basic support for rk3588 and is good enough for general server application, though for your usecase might not be enough. This branch will receive fixes only but no new features. edge may be sufficient. When using some graphics related I suggest to use an image with mesa-vpu extension included. Also there a two ways to make use of it: - We backported the open source Panthor driver into vendor. Can be enabled via device tree overlay (check code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } armbian-config) - Using proprietary mali blobs is also possible. I think Jellyfin has a tutorial how to setup those: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/transcoding/hardware-acceleration/rockchip/

Hello all, I'm also bought an orange pi 5 pro :-) I have red a little bit in the Forum (after i'm bought) and I'm a little bit confused now 🙂 I'm new in the embedded (arm) world but have some knowledge from the desktop/x86 windows & linux world. my first expirience with the device was also .... intresting. I'm installed the official (orangepi.org) debian-booksworm image with the 6.1.xx kernel .... and diddnt get the network interfaces to run, and no nvme device available ... next try was with debian-booksworm image and the 5.10..xx kernel and the networks just runned and the nvme showed up. But i think for my need this kernel is just old ... So now im trying armbian (iot version) ..... at the moment with an 6.1.99 vendor kernel. installed weston seatd & co for running some rudimentary OpenGL ES based tests .... but without success. glxgears / glxinfo failing EGLInitialize() cannot create context ... rknpuxxxx.so not found. i think thats the "which /dev/dri device is the right" issue. Have also red that some HW functionally is only available on full blown desktop environments 😞 What do I need: - i dont want to use the device as a desktop replacement - i want to use it as development board for tinkering around with OpenGL ES / OpenCL and get some experience with embedded development. - rudimentary boot2qt functionality based on wayland-egl or eglfs platform (running Qt apps in wayland cage or without window manager) - good opengl es 3.2 support - recent compiler support, gcc13(+) / clang 18 - boost / qt 6.7 + should available as devel packages (don't like to build it for my own, but if its necesarry ...) - opencl support would be nice - media / audio support (QMultimedia) - atm i dont need video acceleration, but maybe later .... So my question: with which Kernel / System should i start with ? is the device a good choice ? I bought it mainly because the 2 nics and the available storage options (nvme / emmc) makes it very flexible for another usage (router backup i.e) Soon or later i have to dig into yocto also maybe ....
