Hello everyone, I got a tv box: J15 pro with rk3328 inside I tried the trunk version but it failed to boot then I tried the achived 23.11.1 version, It can boot normally, but if i do a full upgrade , the box failed to boot again. I think maybe the box do not compatible with kernel 6.12 so i tried to hold the 3 packages: linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 linux-image-current-rockchip64 linux-u-boot-rk3318-box-current and then upgrade , It works what can i do to help to fix the compatible problem? ps lshw shows the box comes with a wifi chip: rtl8189es

Small guide for fixing Ethernet on the latest Armbian. 1. Make sure you have the correct device: cat /proc/device-tree/model → OrangePi 3 LTS 2. Decompile the dtb to dts: dtc -I dtb -O dts /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dtb -o ./sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dts 3. Check the correct pins (yours may differ): grep -i reset-gpio sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dts | head -n 1 → reset-gpios = <0x1e 0x03 0x0e 0x01>; 4. Create the file sun50i-h6-ethernet.dts. Use the provided template and substitute your pin values. My file for example: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h6"; fragment@0 { target = <&emac>; __overlay__ { snps,reset-gpio = <0x1e 0x03 0x0e 0x01>; snps,reset-delays-us = <0 10000 1000000>; snps,reset-active-low; mdio { ethernet-phy@1 { reset-gpios; reset-assert-us; reset-deassert-us; }; }; }; }; }; 5. Add your overlay: armbian-add-overlay sun50i-h6-ethernet.dts 6. Reboot and enjoy working Ethernet: reboot

Belay that. I copied trixie to ssd and it fired up just fine without sd in slot. However, I dont yet understand nvme addressing requirements, but I can now read up on it.. so, for me, solved. Thanks

Coming from the future, I created a fork with a patched version of moonlight-qt that works with Armbian 25.8.1 using vendor kernel 6.1.115 and Gnome as well as the mali blob g610-g24p0-wayland-gbm and of course, rkmpp. The performance is great. In a nutshell, what I actually patched were the direct OpenGL calls since these were not directly exposed in OpenGL ES that the mali blob uses.

I ended up creating a patched fork of moonlight-qt that works with the mali blob and rkmpp with excellent performance.

Ok the problem is that I didn't download the correct source code: This: wget https://github.com/philipl/mpv/archive/refs/heads/v4l2request.zip Gets me a hwdec.c without the lines: extern const struct ra_hwdec_driver ra_hwdec_v4l2request; extern const struct ra_hwdec_driver ra_hwdec_v4l2request_overlay; And possibly more missing stuff New try for source download: $ git clone https://github.com/philipl/mpv.git $ git checkout -b v4l2request origin/v4l2request $ nano video/out/gpu/hwdec.c <-- contains the changes for v4l2 request, then exit nano without changes $ meson setup build <-- shows the same warnings as before $ meson compile -C build ... I still get this build error

Also in 25.8.2

Hi, SD card did not load Armbian_25.8.1_Orangepi5_trixie_current_6.12.41_xfce_desktop. I noticed that in boot.cmd line 9 , rootdev is defined as /dev/mmcblk0p1. Should that be /dev/mmcblk0n1 or /dev/mmcblk0n1p1? I note that this file should not be edited and the armbianEnv.txt only refers to rootdev=UUID=7e27c862-0a39-41cd-891e-7d77ff7968fd. Is this an error or am I off course? If so where do I correct it? cheers

Hi community, I am experiencing an issue reinstalling Armbian on my Helios64. I tried all methods including booting from an SD card, flashing the image onto the eMMC directly but every time I boot, I get kernel panic (flashing status light). I also can't connect to the USB via TTY to diagnose the issue. My macbook keeps detecting the /dev/tty.usbserial-DT03OEIM and the next second it is gone. I wanted to install the original Buster image but I cannot find it anymore in any of the archives. It's kind of disappointing because what's the purpose of an archive then if not hold on to an image for a few years. My current theories are limited and I can only think that the newer images might not have the correct drivers, but as I said, I can't connect via TTY to even observe the boot log. I tried pretty much everything at this point: all of the images available (devbian, ubuntu), all flavors of them (minimal, omv). Booting into U-boot, Setting P10, P11 jumpers etc, etc. Can anyone help?

I try installing Debian Trixie using the installer by 2 differents approachs but It didn’t succeeds. 1) using a bootable USB key with ARMhf (Generic version), found on Debian web site 2) Has described in DEBIAN ARMhf installation manual, using hd-media to include the asus c100p correct .dtb (tree) files during the creation of the external USB. Regardless the method, the USB key with intaller, is not recognized, when typing CTRL+U, in developper mode. The Chromebook didn’t see the key, but it work well with Zutchi group, but not here. I only received a serie of bibs, when doing CTRL+U. I also try building an ARMBIAN image, but, Asus C100P is not available in choices, and I look in EXPERT mode, not supported, but didn’t find a generic ARMhf file having features: RK3288 processor, 4Gb of RAM, 16Gb of emmc, 2 x USB, USBc, hdmi, wifi, so I didn’t complete the process. I am open to suggestions, but my next trial is using ‘dd’ and install the ‘Velvet trixie’ image found on GitHub directly on emmc ‘drive’, if not succeed, I will try Archlinuxarm with PostmarketOS. Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

@Tomi Skies try the x96q images https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/tag/20250306

Everything worked fine, even tried some ffmpeg for hardware decode

This is on minimal. So no xorg or Wayland. But I use xorg normally. I generally start with minimal and work up. I despise both Ubuntu and gnome. You won't find those on any computer I own. I compromise with xfce for the little time I might use it before I have everything set up. I've just reversed direction and installed debian xfce stable. Mostly to avoid the hassle of replacing net plan with network manager. A PIA. I can uninstall all the stuff I don't like that comes with the desktop version. Probably easier. With xfce there are two screens, but the one on the built in screen seems to be double the size it should be. I can only see half the dog. I can live with that for now. At least it uses the Fullscreen of the HDMI.

Couple of data points that may be helpful. Platform: BTT PI v1.2 D/C 2023.11.8 with the U2C CAN board Distro: Armbian 25.8.1 Bookworm Kernel: 6.12.43-current-sunxi64 Overlays: spidev0_0 1. Adding a sleep 5 hack did not work for me, however what does *seem* to work is inserting the following line to /etc/netplan/30-wifis-dhcp.yaml activation-mode: manual WiFi was still activated (which may be another bug) for at least 3 cold boots in a row (didn't have time to test more thoroughly). Here's a pastebin link from right after one such boot - https://paste.armbian.com/umijapukiy 2. The error from wpa_supplicant is CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED ret=-1 retry=1 .Same error code (-1) is also reported when attempting a manual scan pi@jubilee:~$ sudo iw wlan1 scan command failed: Operation not permitted (-1) 3. Broken state of the WiFi driver seems to be correlated with mmc errors in dmesg [ 11.490708] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: data error, sending stop command [ 11.490745] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: send stop command failed [ 11.490856] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: data error, sending stop command [ 11.490880] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: send stop command failed [ 11.491071] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: data error, sending stop command [ 11.491098] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: send stop command failed [ 11.491224] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: data error, sending stop command [ 11.491248] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: send stop command failed These are not present if wifi was activated successfully. Here's a pastebin link from right after such boot - https://paste.armbian.com/xovixuniti EDIT: Ran armbianmonitor -c overnight and the SD card seems fine The results from testing /dev/mmcblk0p2 (ext4): Data OK: 111.37 GB (233561400 sectors) Data LOST: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors) Average writing speed: 18.41 MB/s Average reading speed: 22.74 MB/s ...

Please let me know if there's anything else I can collect that can help to track this down. Given this is a fresh install and has no personal data in it yet, I can share my SD card image if that would be helpful.

Hello, I was experiencing the same problem, and both of these workarounds did not work for me. However! Even though I am quite inexperienced when it comes to these kinds of problems, I managed to get it working reliably again with the help of my favourite LLM-slop-machine. Made the file: /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant update_config=1 network={ ssid="YourSSID" psk="YourPassword" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK } ran these commands: sudo systemctl enable wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service sudo systemctl restart wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd then this one: sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf -D nl80211 -d got this error from that: nl80211: Register frame command failed (type=208): ret=-114 (Operation already in progress) then these commands: sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service sudo pkill -9 wpa_supplicant || true sudo rm -f /run/wpa_supplicant/* then started the service again and watching logs: sudo systemctl start wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service sudo journalctl -u wpa_supplicant@wlan0 -f From there i saw "wlan0: Associated with" and "wlan0: WPA: Key negotiation completed" however when running ip addr show wlan0 It only showed me 2 lines and no IP. Checked that I was connected to the correct access point with: iw dev wlan0 link I installed dhcpcd5 to assign an IP. sudo apt install dhcpcd5 assigning IP and checking if it was assigned: sudo dhcpcd wlan0 ip addr show wlan0 Then also after restarting everything worked well for me. From the wpa error, it looks like there were 2 instances? I am not sure. I would love to hear someone elses opinion on this, since I am not 100% sure what exactly I did, but it worked. I hope this helps someone!

What do you mean by that? You mean LCD screen on the device and HDMI monitor. This should probably work OOB on vendor 6.1.y kernel. It should also work with mainline, but I haven't tested that and I am not sure that this is included in latest stable build as it was added not long ago. Try build from sources, use EDGE kernel perhaps. It is very specific case - probably nobody asked for that before. At least I don't recall. Core features are based on SoC, so when you are looking for clues, look wider - Orange 5 *, Khadas Edge 2, Bananapi M7, ... all that carries RK3588 SoC. Best is to start with recommended Gnome image. That is most polished.

"*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment" This is safe to ignore. It is strange why Ubuntu doesn't work, while Bookworm does. This could be some build infrastructure issue. https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/

Does anyone have any clues to give as to setting up dual screen on the Nanopi m6? I searched the forum and found nothing. I don't know why I can never easily find Anything here. The forum shows one post for the Nanopi m6 and I know that can't be right. The Nanopi mirrors by default, and that is just not going cut it. Currently installing X on a minimal install. But that's the next thing. Get a reasonablf sized terminal up.

Welcome to Armbian, I'm your emotional support, I'll give you all the support if you want to start developing a custom firmware for this device, we have all the time in the world, one day this will be ready and we will put your name on it, it will be cool, I believe you have the ability to start volunteering, get in touch

for Pi-Hole i'm using: "cbcrowe/pihole-unbound" https://hub.docker.com/r/cbcrowe/pihole-unbound For docker Containers I'm on Casa-OS curl -fsSL https://get.casaos.io | sudo bash pihole-unbound.yaml

for thoses who want to install sd to emmc, use this script (remove the line about haos near the end)

everything is in the main post

No idea what causes this, will need to check on my device

What you are reporting is quite common with tv boxes. The case markings often are different than the internals. What is it you are looking for? Your post didn't really ask for anything other than to report that you got a common tv box with internals that differ from the case.
