Thank you, I will study it.

Mainline audio is not working. Vendor audio is working but not activated by default yet

Sorry took so long: workaround is to set the two mixer controls via cli: amixer -c 4 sset 'Left Headphone Mixer Left DAC' on amixer -c 4 sset 'Right Headphone Mixer Right DAC' on they are off on armbian and on the initial image I was testing with which you properly sorted out was Radxa default Debian image. Edit: note you can increase the sound output by increasing "Headphone Mixer", via amixer or interactively via "alsamixer -c 4". Edit 2: note that this only works for the vendor kernel. I don't get audio out with the mainline one (replace -c 4 by -c 0 there as there is only one audio device available with mainline)

Sorry for the late reply. Note the baud rate is set in U-Boot to 1.5Mbps (and your device tells max 1Mbps).

This is for rock 5b. The U-boot requirements is for rock 5b only as it seems to be due to rock 5b being powered via this usb-c port (and talks about the USB-PD negociation needing to happen in u-boot). So this patch to rock 5b dts will not fix rock-5-itx support. Edit: Mind I have not checked yet if the rock-5-itx dts already has this code or not.

Hi, Mainline status is here: https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md and description of the submitted patch is here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/20241210163615.120594-1-sebastian.reichel@collabora.com/ It mentions that more recent U-Boot versions handle some USB communications, so I was also thinking that updating the U-Boot on my board might help although I haven't quite worked out how to do that yet.

How do I change the default desktop environment on Debian 12 startup from cinnamon to xfce4? I have installed xfce4 and it's related "goodies", added a .Xclients file containing "startxfc4" in both root and ~/ folder locations. But the unit sometimes boots back into cinnamon. I do not see anything under armbian-config to control the desktop environment or to switch between cli/gui. I recall such options under orangepi-config (at least the cli/gui switching).

@ScoreABSM can I see the dmesg?

After years of thinking, wishing and tinkering - Armbian automated WiFi performance benchmark system: https://docs.armbian.com/WifiPerformance/ From latest WiFi 7 down to (in)famous xradio XR819.

@c0rnelius new test with latest debian rolling (25.8.0-trunk.5_Bananapim4zero_trixie_current_6.12.23_minimal): - HDMI audio and GPU ok 👍 - no wireless Again my question about overlays: do I need another overlay for wireless? The one I used for standard builds (sun50i-h616-bananapi-m4-sdio-wifi-bt) is not working... Thanks for your help. Denis

i never connected anything on the hdmi port, sorry. i'm using 10 of them for different projects, some are used 24/7/365 for home assistant or video encoding

Hi @Ed van den Enden, I'm still pressing "X" to doubt that dtoverlay=... will work for sunxi boards running Armbian like the Banana Pi M2 zero, as your points do not work on my Orange Pi zero (which is running sunxi Allwinner H2+ just like the Bananana Pi M2 zero). Also, your provided logging clearly indicates that the kernel did not configure any additional RTC, just the H2+ built-in one. But then again, I don't mind being wrong every now and then in life. Can you share the output of the following commands: ls -Failh /dev/rtc* ls -Failh /sys/class/rtc/ egrep -- . /sys/class/rtc/*/name dmesg | egrep -i -- 'rtc' And to read the actual clocks: sudo hwclock --rtc=/dev/rtc0 # per default this is the H2+ built-in RTC sudo hwclock --rtc=/dev/rtc1 # per default this is going to be the I2C RTC Posting the link to @IgorS's topic that shows exactly what to do here again: Also, for reference, here is a link to the Allwinner H2+ datasheet, where it also mentions clearly (chapter 4.8 RTC on page 171) that the SoC itself also has an on-board RTC (this is the RTC detected by the kernel as sun6i-rtc and the one you actually are reading in your case): https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/images/0/08/Allwinner_H2+_Datasheet_V1.2.pdf Groetjes,

Hi I am looking for a low power, fanless, solution for a Debian server with a single large 3.5" SATA drive. I don't want to boot from the SATA so I guess I'd buy an eMMC module as well. Currently I have an Orange Pi4 LTS with a weird expansion board and a generic Mini PCIe to SATA, but it isn't stable enough. Given that the Rock 5C has platinum support and works with the Penta SATA hat I'm wondering if it might be more reliable? thanks

In the official Armbian Radxa Rock 5C Gnome image (nobel) the WiFi hardware is detected, but in the server image (nobel) the WiFi hardware is not detected. Edit. I see I can use WiFi in armbian-config, but it does not show up in gnome on the server image.

Ver 20250515-edge kernel 6.15 . The HDMI video output works immediately after startup (Gnome KDE XFCE console etc) . To run these images, switch the Devicetree option to ACPI in the BIOS settings (This is a universal mode that runs versions of systems using DTB without problems.). The fan is automatically adjusted. Some external graphics cards for PCE-e are working. The installation of the system with the USB standard arm utility on nvme has been checked, everything is working correctly.

Quick update Since I need the hardware video decoder, I focused on vendor kernel (6.1) and KDE Observed on the following images that kernel versions higher than 6.1.75 (6.1.84 and 6.1.99) have issues with analog audio out (no output). The jack detection is functional, HDMI audio works, and it's not specific to the OS or KDE versions. Armbian_25.2.1_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.99_kde-neon_desktop.img Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.75_kde-neon-kisak_desktop.img Armbian_24.8.1_Orangepi5_jammy_vendor_6.1.75_kde-neon-kisak_desktop.img I compared the device tree from 2 installs, 25.2.1 (6.1.99) and 24.11.2 (before update, 6.1.75) and nothing jumps out. For the time being I rolled back the kernel to 6.1.75 on the 25.2.1 (updated to the latest, 25.2.3) image and put the DTS, headers and image packages on hold so I don't update them by mistake. I'll update this thread when I figure out more.

Hi, unable to install any sofware, error: docker: Error response from daemon: failed to set up container networking: network lsio not found

Hi, could you point to a like where this status is shown? Normally yes, once Armbian will start integrating that kernel version you should have what you need.

Take a look here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#deploy-the-image

I should also say I run "./compile.sh KERNEL_BTF=no" because I have only 4 GB of RAM.

Do I need a git account? I get these replies: steven@rpi5b:/media/steven/SSD/build$ git revert 9eaa276457e11 Author identity unknown *** Please tell me who you are. Run git config --global user.email "you@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name" to set your account's default identity. Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository. fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'steven@rpi5b.(none)') steven@rpi5b:/media/steven/SSD/build$ sudo git revert 9eaa276457e11 error: your local changes would be overwritten by revert. hint: commit your changes or stash them to proceed. fatal: revert failed steven@rpi5b:/media/steven/SSD/build$

shot in the dark. maybe this is a regression due to a recent commit @sakittelsen Try "git revert 9eaa276457e11" and try again.

I saw your build in an old topic about the Allwinner H6. Do those builds have graphics acceleration?

To fix a mounting error, I run this before building: sudo mount -o remount,exec,dev /media/steven/SSD dmesg log: [ 27.549272] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem 221b4559-9c69-4721-82eb-31346e1f1592 r/w with ordered data mode.
