      Booting ROCK Pi 4(A/B/C) with mainline u-boot in SPI, NVMe and Armbian v20.11.x

      I don't have a custom board. I have a ROCK PI 4 SE. These boards do not come with SPI flash IC soldered on the board, but have space if one chooses to solder SPI flash himself. Since I couldn't find flash IC that Raxda recommends: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/spi_flash (W25Q64FV; GD25Q127CSIG;XT25F32B;XT25F128B) I found equivalent to W25Q64FV. The vendor Id of FL064LIF01 is different so I'm guessing that is why it is not recognized. I read that Piter75 had support for XTX flashes at first so other flash ICs can be added maybe? This is exactly what my goal is but since I'm new to this I though posting on forum and ask for some help would not hurt. Thanks

      Booting ROCK Pi 4(A/B/C) with mainline u-boot in SPI, NVMe and Armbian v20.11.x

      That is because it is the linux kernel that is driving you own/custom SPI-flash chip. When you power on the board, it follows a certain priority of devices, see schematics of the board. It might be that SPI-flash is not included. And if included, the U-Boot you put in there might assume different wiring or none at all. It is can be because the U-Boot config it is compiled from does not include the right options. So create a custom U-Boot for your custom board.

      /dev/i2c1 gone with newer kernels versions

      I use a Raspberry Pi 5 and use I2C1 with external eeprom. With v25.5.1 up to kernel 6.6.63-current-bcm2711, /dev/i2c-1 is there (activated in /boot/firmware/config.txt with dtparam=i2c_arm=on) and communication with eeprom works fine. With newer kernel versions, communication works not, /dev/i2c-1 does not exist anymore in this case without changing any configuration, just selected newer kernel using armbian-config Any ideas why this happens?

      Very Unusual Request - ZeroDesktop MiiPC M1140

      Hello, Thru various and sundry means, I have acquired this unusual specimen; a ZeroDesktop MiiPC M1140. This was originally intended to be a "family desktop PC" that runs on Android Jelly Bean and was released in 2013. It looks like a TV box had a child with a NUC. The machine runs a Marvell Armada 1500 Plus processor with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage. The company, Zerodesktop, ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund producing these - my model is one of the Kickstarter Editions. I know that the Marvell Armada 1500 was used in the Google Chromecast 2, along with a bunch of set top boxes. ZeroDesktop no longer exists as a company, having only produced these machines between 2013-14 then going belly up. There are no software updates to the Android system available (nor any mention of the device or the Armada 1500 as a supported processor for Android distributions at all). The only resources online about this device are about 7 out of date (mostly negative) tech reviews from the era. I want to make this thing run Armbian. Does anyone have a clue how to do it? I see that there are 2 development boards made by Marvell listed here but they are vastly different processors. I'm definitely an advanced user but have never compiled my own build before, especially when the system components are so mysterious and info is unavailable like this. I am up for the challenge if anyone can assist. Thank you!

      Building Armbian Distribution with Kernel 6.10 for Orange Pi 5 Pro

      There are unfortunately no detailed instructions how to add new boards or board families to the build framework yet. This is a very extensive topic. However there are a few existing pull requests that should give clues like https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/7902/files No, since it is community supported use Stating section for Rockchip devices in forums. I did a quick check on your work. - dts files which aren't upstreamed (yet) shall be added in full into the dt folder of the equivalent kernel patch directory (patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.16/dt to say). You can use code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } kernel-dtb build command to extract such a full tree. - this also avoids my 2nd concern which is modifying the existing orangepi-5.dtsi and disabling nodes which where later re-added with another patch. - if possible try to bump to latest mainline u-boot, so either v2025.04 or wait a bit longer for v2025.07 which is currently RC.
