A phandle is a magical number assigned during DTB assembly, whose value is irrelevant as long as it references the same node with the phandle property. The magic value can change when the structure changes because it is assigned arbitrarily; for example, by inserting an additional node.

Thanks @Nick A for the details and link shared ! If I understand correctly, I can build kernel only locally and freeze kernel update. other packages can be downloaded from public repository Is that correct?

In an XWindow environment, these are realistically expected numbers. In a Wayland environment, this is somewhat better; see glmark2-wayland-odroid-m1.log as a reference. But it is in no way comparable to a Mali G610; see glmark2-wayland-odroid-m2.log as a reference. Use WebGL Report to be sure.

There is a minor difference in another node: "phandle = <0x2c2>;" in radxa.dts and phandle = <0x2c3>; No clue if that's the culprit or if there is something on software-side to make fan work.

Hi - I have a ZeroPi board running 'bookworm' as supplied by the vendor. I woudl like to run 'trixie' and downloaded it from this page https://www.armbian.com/zero-pi/ but had no luck getting it booted. Would anyone have an idea how to get this to work or what the status is of 'trixie' for the ZeroPi boad. Thanks

@Igor - Can you have a look at this please. I have retrieved the devicetree's for the radxa Debian release on which the fan works and my Armbian Ubuntu build using dtc -I fs /sys/firmware/devicetree/base uname -a lsb_release -a https://github.com/AaronNGray/radxa-rock-5b-plus The 'pwm-fan' nodes are the same.

@BipBip1981, can you please share again your feedback on fancontrol running on Trixie ? The site can't display the image.

He works as ili9341 and as ili9486. I use it now as ili9486. I`ll go further to make it work as native device. DRM frambuffer its something what needs to be kernel recompiled... as i know? And if i want to use it natively, i must edit or recompile u-boot.... DRM support for ILI9486 display panels modulename: ili9486.ko configname: CONFIG_TINYDRM_ILI9486 Linux Kernel Configuration └─>Device Drivers └─>Graphics support └─>Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) └─>SPI support └─>DRM support for ILI9486 display panels In linux kernel since version 4.14.326 (release Date: 2023-09-23) DRM driver for the following Ilitek ILI9486 panels: * PISCREEN 3.5" 320x480 TFT (Ozzmaker 3.5") * RPILCD 3.5" 320x480 TFT (Waveshare 3.5") If M is selected the module will be called ili9486. I will use it for KlipperScreen 😆 But as i se how hard is working that orangePi PC,i`ll doubt if i need this... Any way i`ll try )) Yes. But HDMI not connected. On OrangePiOne image its switching. If HDMI is connected its use it with no output to SPI. But if no HDMI present its use SPI as basic overlay On the same board. Because OPiOne had only 1 usb, OPiPC work only 1 usb ))) if whey work all 3, i`ll didnt open up a topic 😑 ili9486.dts

In that case, dont try my solution: it is for the red ili9341. If you search ili9486 threads in this forum, that same blue LCD is ili9486... so you were wrong in calling it ili9341 in the first place If you have time, find another solution to get you a DRM frambuffer (instead of a classic FB). Then you can enjoy smoother animations and video. Regarding displaying boot messages to the LCD, instead of HDMI. I don't know, but it may be because your HDMI is /dev/fb0 and the LCD is /dev/fb1 Will you use X11?

I`ll think its china lcd, it`s been presented many ears ago by someone to me. Thanks to your sugestions. I read it before topic up. As U can read, it working now, with touch The last question is how to output to it when system boots... Something like auto switch from HDMI to SPI LCD. Or just SPI LCD output after U-Boot loading. rc.local with con2fbmap 1 1 in it is not an good thing. Any Advice?

Try this solution for the orange pi zero LTS, which is the same chip as the opiPC, but change the pin definitions to what you have. Do you have a 480x320 ili9341? Which one is it?

This one failed with "DRAM:This DRAM setup is currently not supported" I found something from kickpi's site:Linux_SDK_Compilation. including building u-boot https://github.com/tan-zhihao1/kickpi-book/blob/master/h618/en/04-SDK_Compilation_Guide/02-Linux_SDK_Compilation.md Its too huge so I deleted the folder "source" and "toolchains". hope it could help I tried to upload here but it shows errors. try this url: https://we.tl/t-t92S5rlCzD

@Jeeva Kandasamy I would freeze your kernel updates using armbian-config. I’m using a custom kernel so it will break your system. I made google search and found this. https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4600

Another problem here is that they don't have a schematic available for the rev2. They may have changed more than the DRAM? So the first u-boot I posted could have been fine, but the kernel DTS may need adjusting. Oh NVM. You did post the schematic EDIT: Not helpful. Its the same schematic I already have, which was incorrect as the variant I purchased is using DDR4. Not sure whats up with this company but they aren't very good at providing proper sources or essential unit information.

Try this one. I unfortunately I haven't been able to find any other timings. Hopefully this simple change makes a diff. u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

There is another DDR3 option. GIve me a bit and I'll post it.

I don't know if this relates, but I recently discovered an issue with a Debian Trixie file system package xfsprogs on the 25.8.1 edge kernel for the Orange PI 5 Plus: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/55599-bug-report-armbian-edge-kernel-6164-xfsprogs-trixie-package-failure-to-start-low-memory-monitorservice/

Hi @Nick A thanks for the build details. It is working perfectly in my hardware: IK316Q-EMCP_V4.1 (IK3166-H, AXP313A, TYDOGH221664RA [1GB+8GB]) Current image: https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/download/20250306/Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-lpddr3-v1-3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server.img.xz However when I do apt upgrade I get the following error, Err:7 https://mirror.albony.in/armbian bookworm Release Redirection from https to 'http://mirror.hyd.albony.in/armbian/dists/bookworm/Release' is forbidden [IP: 82.180.145.196 443] I am using this device as headless server for IoT with internet, So I would like to keep updated kernel and packages all the time. Can you please guide me how to achieve this?

Just compiled and flashed a Cinnamon desktop image. Boots fine Video over HDMI working. Audio over HDMI working. The video experience is not that much satisfying. There seems to be no graphic acceleration, yet. WebGL aquarium runs at 5 FPS with 500 fishes, 15 FPS with 100 fishes. Youtube videos are relatively laggy and you'll experience high CPU load. All the GPIO hardware stuff has not been tested, yet. No clue how to do it... Now I'd like to have some more people on board to support me by adding graphic acceleration and how to merge the M1S support now into the Armbian repo. Greetings. EDIT 1: transferring the OS from SD card do eMMC works by using armbian-install tool EDIT 2: graphic acceleration IS kind of working, glmar2-es2 gives me a score of ~177. But the web browser seems not to be accelerated. also the desktop environment seems to have problems Cinnamon is not able to load applets, which means that the "Start" menue icon is missing...

I've got a REV 1.1. Try flashing the binary. I got the timing from the opi zero2 Make sure you flash it to the correct node, be it mmcblk1, sdb, etc. sudo dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblkX conv=fsync bs=1024 seek=8 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

M.2 NVMe slot is also WORKING. At least the SSD gets detected with "cat /proc/partitions". It is not listed under "df -h" but I think this is because it is not mounted yet...

Okay. Thank you!
