@Jeeva Kandasamy I haven't had that error before. Maybe your host is out of date. Have you tried "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"?

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* sudo apt clean sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade works for me.

I've heard people say that the Orange Pi is a "budget alternative" to the Raspberry Pi. On one hand, the Raspberry Pi has an excellent community, with a large user base that could really help you in your learning journey. On the other hand, the Orange Pi offers great value for money, and it's really tempting because the Raspberry Pi can be a bit pricey. What's your suggestion?

I don't think simply documenting what needs to be installed is the solution. (Since I've already managed to figure that out, assuming my previous message went through.) I was trying to highlight that if a service is integrated into the installer (f2fs formatting), it would be elegant (or we could call it necessary) if that minimal package were part of the stock system, so the armbian-install doesn't break."

Did you check already merged PRs which were adding new boards? Like https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8754/files Should give some clues.

I am currently trying to add the board support "the official way" by forking the repo and adding the board in the "Community maintained" category. To me it seems that this requires not "normal" .config files, but ".csc" files. This is fine and I created one accordingly. But I dont know where to place it. What would be the best place for that? Additionally, I have created a patch that pulled the latest DTS file for the M1S from the mainline kernel repo. That worked fine as well and after compilation there was a local DTS file created and everything worked so far. But here I have the same problem/question: where to put these patches? Or is it preferable to use the created DTS file and place that somwhere without the patches that pull the mainline DTS? So basically I wish for a little bit support where to put which files to be "Board support Rules" compliant. Greetings!

Good point! I was not aware of that. I will try today and report back.

Lowest price is what makes it popular. But software is the biggest key of the package and there they are among the worst. On this SoC, we will be cooperating with SoC maker's board directly - working with Orangepi is too damaging for us: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/04/27/muse-pi-pro-feature-packed-credit-card-sized-spacemit-m1-risc-v-sbc/ This will probably be done in a couple of weeks, so you can follow that and adjust accordingly.

Thank you for your quick answer, Jimbolaya. Yes, I did try different cables all with the same result. I wonder if there is another way to access the serial console, J13 perhaps? Albeit with some required soldering, I suppose. Then remains the question of which headers exactly relate to GND, TX and RX.

I don't think that's a relevant issue. I couldn't `modprobe zfs` in my case.

I noticed this problem a long time ago, but now I feel it is important to fix it: I get a slim black bar on the left side, and a portion of the pixels on the right get "cropped" because they don't fit in the LCD display area? Do you get the same in your LCD? Do you know a way to fix it? I am talking about this LCD: RED PCB LCD https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802847521952.html?

Unfortunately I don't have experience with the onboard flash, but I've never had an issue with the serial port. You've tried different cables i assume?

@jock Tested this and got a 1mim watchdog crash. I dont know if it helps to track this issue but with: "rk322x_tee_1.0.1-72-gf230aa2.bin" it goes to a 30mim. Like i said before, im kinda new to this. so i might have done something wrong when building armbian. If anyone here has a working build that does not trigger this watchdog, please let me know.

In theory, it shouldn't

I received a Helios4 and was finally able to get it to boot. As per instructions, I booted from microSD and flashed the latest Armbian image to sda1 via the nand-sata-install command. This reboots fine now, but only with the microSD-card present and the SW1 dipswitch set to "SD card boot mode". Is anybody here using "SPI NOR Flash" or "SATA1" boot mode to get rid of the microSD card? I am bit handicapped here since my serial port on the microUSB only comes up maybe 1 in 10 times. I wonder if it's worn out or if I am simply doing something wrong. Related Links: 1 2 3

@jock Does it make a diference witch multitool trusted OS i use?

I'm looking for Orange Pi RV2 RISC-V support. This board is gaining popularity due to the Orange Pi manufacturer's good reputation with Arm. I have successfully built both Orange Pi and Raspberry Pi aarch64 builds on Debian from source so I'd like to know how to build Armbian for Orange Pi RV2 riscv64. What would I need to modify in the build process? Thanks!!

Update: It works now, however the power LED doesn't seem to light up, but the video card is detected in /dev

Okay I found out that the previous error was mainly user error, due to an invalid user_overlays=, however I am facing a new issue and it still doesn't seem to work This is the new error Boot script loaded from mmc 1:1 308 bytes read in 2 ms (150.4 KiB/s) 14207910 bytes read in 1182 ms (11.5 MiB/s) 48779776 bytes read in 4043 ms (11.5 MiB/s) 161122 bytes read in 26 ms (5.9 MiB/s) Working FDT set to a100000 3772 bytes read in 4 ms (920.9 KiB/s) Applying user provided DT overlay radxa-zer5028 bytes read in 8 ms (613.3 KiB/s) Applying user provided DT overlay radxa-zero3-tc358743-audio.dtbo Trying kaslrseed command...

I have managed to successfully install Armbian onto the DELL Wyse3040 As mentioned above, the way to do this is to use a PE environment that works on these devices. I used an old version of Hiren's BootCD and booted from it. Then I used a NTFS formatted flash drive with the unzipped image and used Roadkill's Disk Image to write it to the eMMC And it works, beautifully

Mmmh, the easiest thing you can do you can build an armbian image taking rk322x_tee_os.bin from this branch in my repo and overwrite rk322x_tee.bin in the same path of your armbian copy, then build a regular image which will have an opensource TEE and should have no issues anymore. Actually you could even reinstall u-boot without reinstalling the whole system, but it is just a tiny bit more involved. If you can restart from scratch, rebuilding the image with opensource TEE is easier.

sorry for my confusion @jock im kinda new to this. yeah it switched from a 1mim watchdog to a 30mim watchdog crash. Is there a armbian distro that will work, what should i do here?
