https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3566-box-demo.dts This one looks promising. Maybe we only need to change some pins.

moved ssh is enabled by default on all images. Check if there is further information in journal why it did not start.

@darcyg First let me say that I am no expert on this. I have not tried to compile it lately, but I see that that commit does not longer exist on kwiboo's github. So I don't now if you need to revert to an older version of u-boot. And if you have an EmmC og SPI with u-boot, then it should work to boot from SC card with the new uboot anyway. My log was with debug enabled (and from uart), and I dont have that log anymore. mtty_probe+0x1e8/0x2b0 [sprdbt_tty] So I am not sure the error is the same wireless / bluetooth related error that I got . But I think it is. Make sure that the patch uw5622-fix-adjust-for-rockchip-post-6.1.patch got applied. Take a look in the /output/logs, If you have build the kernel several times it could be using a cached kernel and not included in the log!?, (look in the largest log files). And verify that uw5622-fix-adjust-for-rockchip-post-6.1.patch was included in your compilation: --> (15) INFO: Adding [ Drivers for Unisoc uwe5622 found on some Allwinner and Rockchip boards ] --> (15) INFO: * applying patch/misc/wireless-uwe5622/uwe5622-allwinner.patch --> (15) INFO: * applying patch/misc/wireless-uwe5622/uwe5622-allwinner-bugfix.patch --> (15) INFO: * applying patch/misc/wireless-uwe5622/uwe5622-warnings.patch --> (15) INFO: * applying patch/misc/wireless-uwe5622/uwe5622-park-link-v6.1-post.patch --> (15) INFO: * applying patch/misc/wireless-uwe5622/uwe5622-v6.1.patch --> (15) INFO: * patch/misc/wireless-uwe5622/uwe5622-adjust-for-rockchip-post-6.1.patch --> (15) INFO: * applying patch/misc/wireless-uwe5622/wireless-uwe5622-Fix-compilation-with-6.7-kernel.patch --> (15) INFO: * applying patch/misc/wireless-uwe5622/wireless-uwe5622-reduce-system-load.patch --> (15) INFO: * applying patch/misc/wireless-uwe5622/w-wireless-fix-out-of-tree-build.patch --> (15) INFO: Preparing driver [ driver_rtl8723cs ]

Hello all. I can say that now I'm almost happy owner of the Orange Pi Zero 3 board. It took me weeks of googling to get to this awsome thread. Links from official OPi site lead to outdated images where many things didin't work as expected and with broken graphics acceleration. Finally I found armbian and its latest builds for Orange Pi Zero 3 board with working graphics at least. So, first of all, thanks to all people who contributed to this builds, it's an awsome work. I'm total noob in Linux, so I can't do much help here, however, if something needs testing with this board (OPi Zero 3, 2Gb RAM) I'll try to help. Inspite of being able to make my own toy OS for x86 platform I struggle with Linux as it is seems very complex to me so I came here for help or at least right direction. My current goal with Zero 3 board is to get very minimal Linux build which includes: - all CPU cores workig and ability to run single graphics application without desktop environment at all - working 3D acceleration for smooth graphics - working sound (either built in or through i2s interface, preferably) - working GPIO/SPI/UART for communicating with other peripherials built with 8-bit MCUs like ATmel 8-bit chips Currently I'm just learning how to build such kind of Linux images. I've already tried buildroot and "default" build didn't work for me, I guess it is not configured to use HDMI output for terminal by default and I couldn't find how to do that. I also found sunxi site and as I understood armbian is based on that. I tried to follow their instructions to build uboot and kernel however stuck with some steps and errors, and it's also not very clear if they managed to set up HDMI/Mail graphics working with their builds as some instructions labeled as outdated. I also tried Bookworm image and it works pretty well, I even set up xorg there and run glgears app for testing it, but it still pretty big to me and there are several issues with running graphical apps without desktop environment. So, any help on these two topics is very appreciated: - How to get really minimum build and where to find actual informaton about that kind of builds as there are many tutorials but they seems to be outdated/incomplete or do not cover board specifics. - How to get single graphics app running fullscreen without desktop environment (for this experiment I can start with Bookworm build) Thank you.

Orange Pi 5 plus. It seems that in the 'edge' kernels, ssh is disabled by default. Since HDMI doesn't function this is a problem. I used the debugging UART and after setup I got the message "ssh.service is disabled" I enabled the service and all is well. Any reason why ssh would be disabled?

A significant reason that the Raspberry Pis are more expensive is that the manufacturer actually invests time and resources into the underlying software. OrangePi does not. OrangePi takes advantage of the open source community hoping they can get software support for free without contributing much if anything to that process. There is a reason that OrangePi boards are not generally supported by Armbian, and lack of manufacturer support is a big reason. So that means that if you want good software to run on OrangePi boards, then OrangePi expects you to do the work. And that is a lot about what this thread in the forum is about - the community trying to support these boards.

@Dbosco (Assuming you set the settings in Kodi correct: settings->player->videos->render method Allow using DRM PRIME Decoder=enable Allow Hardware Acceleation with DRM PRIME=enable Prime Render Method=Direct to Plane) Perhaps something is wrong with your ffmpeg, mpp or rga. Try to follow the steps on: https://github.com/nyanmisaka/ffmpeg-rockchip/wiki/Compilation After that run the cmake command for kodi again before make and install.

Thanks @electricworry for your help! I installed an official Debian build for Orange Pi Zero 3 with 1.5GB, downloaded from here and named Orangepizero3_1.0.2_debian_bookworm_server_linux6.1.31_1.5gb.7z. I coud see that there is no official Armbian release, just an unofficial community release not tested by Armbian, so I did not try it. I could not find any other trustable build I could try, so please let me kown if there are other options. Regarding "vendor build" you mentioned, are you talking about a build provided by seller? If that is the case, I do not think they can provide it, they just sell the boards. Regarding the number of times I observe correct and incorrect memory size, it is difficult to say. I rebooted and power cycled the boards a lot of times since last monday, that is when I receved them, and it is quite ramdom. Sometimes it is easy to get and incorrect memory size once and again, other times is more difficult, and I do not see a pattern. I have both boards powered on all the time, and from time to time I reboot or power cycle them. Anyway, I would say that memory size is incorrect 1 of 4 times in all, but it is just an overall perception. I really like these boards, and 1.5GB memory size is the best option for my purposes. I bought two other Orange Pi Zero 3 with 1GB memory two months ago and they are working well. I am using them for creating a VPN, and they are more than enough. However, I would like to install some network management software that should fit in 1 GB memory, but I prefer to have some spare memory, just in case. I have being using some Raspberry Pi for several years, and I am happy with them, but prices are higher year by year, so Orange Pi could be a good alternative.

I'm sorry but I don't know the answer, I use my fake Tanix TX3 mini TV box with SOC 905L2-B as a server and I don't know if it's possible to have graphics acceleration with the Linux kernel. This post is related to android factory firmware request. I advise you to write a new one to ask specifically, you could ask in the general chat section of TV boxes forum.

thanks @royk now Kodi starts unfortunately when i'm playing a file the video is not showing, and I can listen the audio in the background. same with sudo systemctl stop gdm3 -> env FFMPEG_RKMPP_DEC_OPT="afbc=on" kodi --windowing=gbm --audio-backend=alsa to recap: build: Armbian_24.2.4_Orangepi5_jammy_vendor_6.1.43_kde-neon-amazingfated_desktop patched with 0001-rga3_uncompact_fix.patch and 0002-vop2_rbga2101010_capability_fix.patch Kodi Nexus GBM+GLES, with patches 0001-windowing-gbm-Dynamic-plane-selection.patch and 0002-VideoLayerBridgeDRMPRIME-Use-crop-fields-to-render-t.patch tested with GDM3 and SDDM dunno what i'm doing wrong

Hi, yes this was also my conclusion. The pins were defined OK, but there was no voltage on that VCCIO4 domain - so the whole GPIOx was kept inactive or in a reset. It was confusing me, why BT is running, but there is no WiFi - the chip has to be powered somehow. I also see that you already defined the backlights on this PCBA. This one is also confusing me - how is this one PD7? It should normally be PB7 on the GPIO2. Maybe can you share your current dtb file and I will also test it out?

@Dbosco Build and install with at least GBM Paste the following in /usr/share/wayland-sessions/kodi-wayland.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Kodi Wayland Comment=This session will start Kodi media center Exec=env FFMPEG_RKMPP_DEC_OPT="afbc=on" kodi --windowing=gbm --audio-backend=alsa TryExec=kodi-standalone Type=Application Keywords=audio;video;media;center;tv;movies;series;songs;remote; Icon=kodi Otherwise try to stop the window manager and start it manually to see if it gives an error, from login window press: ctrl+alt+F2 -> sudo systemctl stop gdm3 -> env FFMPEG_RKMPP_DEC_OPT="afbc=on" kodi --windowing=gbm --audio-backend=alsa

@royk after applying the patches i've tried to build Kodi with severals of the configurations available and always with GLES, but there are some issues: cmake ../kodi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME="x11 wayland gbm" -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gles it start Kodi but with X11 cmake ../kodi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=gbm -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gles and cmake ../kodi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=wayland -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gles Kodi doesn't starts, it just return to the login page for all the cases the session name is "Kodi" and not "Kodi-Wayland" as was before with GDM3 and previous kernel. ls /usr/share/xsessions plasmax11.desktop ls /usr/share/wayland-sessions plasma.desktop any idea? thanks!

Your firmware is build without persistent Environment. Only the compiled-in Environment is used, which can only be modified before build.

Here's the latest build if anyone wants to test it out. https://armdev.pixeldrift.net/transpeed/8k618-t/

https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/usage/cmd/env.html Yes I should be able to change the boot-delay of u-boot but it doesn't persist, when I restart the value is gone. I interrupt the boot by hitting any key. Then I do Then I should be able to do but "save" doesn't exist. I will look into how to build/replace this version of U-boot

I'm working here too, I reflash my device with the official github armbian compiled and extracted again the DTB to DTS rk3566-h96max.dtsrk3566-firefly-roc-pc.dts RK3566-firefly-roc-pc = DTS Kernel 6.2 RK3566-h96max = DTS Kernel 6.6 The regulator is TCS4525 and i'ts the same as the Armbian Repo!

Hello, Is it possible install armbian on allwinner h616 - Cortex A53 - x96 mate ? If yes, where is procedure to do that ? Sorry for my poor english. Thank you for your help.

@voapilro I can offer to help but I might not be able to help at the speed you desire; it might take me a few days to have time to offer some patches. You may find that if you power on the board a number of times you will observe correct and incorrect memory counts, and having an approximate percentage of how often it's wrong would be interesting. My direction of attack would be to look at the vendor BSP and check what's different between the 1.5GB build they offer and the build for 1GB/2GB/4GB. The difference should provide a clue to what might need patched and whether something might be missing from the Armbian patch collection. (Out of interest have you tried the vendor build, and if so does it exhibit the same problem? Does it fail with the same percentage?) I'm not working directly in Armbian with the Orange Pi Zero 3 but have been working on a yocto layer which incorporates patches collated by @Nick A.

It looks to me like the upgrade is uninstalling the kernel, dtb and likely other armbian packages. Likely because it thinks they are extra for some reason. During the upgrade are you seeing an option to remove old packages? If so look at that list and see if there are any Armbian packages in that list (there shouldn't be) (specifically anything with Armbian in the name as well as linux-image-* and linux-dtb-*) I think successful upgrades disable the Armbian apt repository which should leave all the armbian packages untouched. Then after the upgrade, you manually enable the armbian apt repository for the correct release and then do an apt update/upgrade of the armbian packages.

This is how healthy starting system looks like And the serial output when starting this older backup: Shall I now just give up and do a clean install? This time I made a backup of failed installation too.

WOW! huge thanks! I didn't know about image generation, I believe that now everything will flow better here.

So, upgraded and bricked again armbianEnv: fstab /boot seems to be populated And According to boot script, it seems that /boot/dtb directory is missing and this is causing the whole havoc?
