You seem to have the older obsolete special RPI5 build, that doe not exist anymore, it is just 1 RPI build called 'rpi4b' So remove armbian-bsp-cli-rpi5b-current as well apt update dpkg --remove --force-all libraspberrypi0 armbian-bsp-cli-rpi4b-current armbian-bsp-cli-rpi5b-current apt --fix-broken install apt install armbian-bsp-cli-rpi4b-current

So, I have now tried to solve the problem using the instructions. But unfortunately, it didn't work and I am getting an error message again. I ask for further assistance.

I had to enter all of this on my Orange Pi 5 Max: https://gist.github.com/default-writer/6ca5f1f05e88c9c51e2e1b09147ad23e

OK, good thing I don't give up easily. I found the cause, but now I need to figure out a fix. Using Armbian_23.11.1_Odroidxu4_jammy_current_6.1.63.img I changed the setenv rootdev to a bad UUID. I get the same error as latest image, but cat /proc/modules shows what's happening. Armbian_23.11.1_Odroidxu4_jammy_current_6.1.63.img initramfs loads: Module Function ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------- scsi_mod Core SCSI subsystem. (Crucial) sd_mod SCSI disk driver (used for all block devices like SD, USB, SATA). (Crucial) t10_pi T10 Protection Information (disk data integrity). crc64_rocksoft_generic CRC algorithm. crc64_rocksoft CRC algorithm. sg SCSI Generic (raw access to SCSI devices). uas USB Attached SCSI (Driver for USB-to-SATA adapter). (Crucial) usb_storage Generic USB Mass Storage driver. (Crucial) scsi_common Common SCSI routines. zram Compressed RAM block device. zsmalloc ZRAM memory allocator. sch_fq_codel Network queue scheduler. Armbian-unofficial_25.11.0-trunk_Odroidxu4_noble_current_6.6.108.img initramfs only loads usbhid. Not sure how nand-sata-install works, but I'm assuming the something is hosed in initrd.img. Maybe @Igor knows where to look. I'm going to see if I can get the SD initrd.img on the SSD.

I have been experimenting with trying to get video acceleration working on the A83T. I can see from /proc/device-tree/soc/... that there is already a video-engine node within the current A83T device tree. It appears to be applied as one of the megous patches ARM-dts-sun8i-a83t-Add-cedrus-video-codec-support-to-A83T-untes.patch. Admittedly this is noted as being untested. In my initially created build via the build framework, Cedrus was not present at all among the list of loaded modules. I addressed this by creating an entry in the Cedrus compatibility table for the sun8i-a83t-video engine drv-sun8i-a83t-cedrus-add-variant.patch It now appears to load but complains about being unable to allocated an SRAM: [ 10.046406] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to claim SRAM [ 10.046490] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to probe hardware [ 10.091215] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to claim SRAM [ 10.091339] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to probe hardware [ 10.419296] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to claim SRAM [ 10.419597] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to probe hardware [ 20.193058] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to claim SRAM [ 20.193114] cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Failed to probe hardware [ 20.193322] platform 1c0e000.video-codec: deferred probe pending: (reason unknown) Using both sun8i-a23-a33.dtsi and sun8i-h3.dtsi as points of reference, I attempted to make an SRAM allocation under the system controller but this still appears to fail with the same failure messages. I have double checked in the user manual and VE memory should definitely exist at 0x01D0 0000. arm-dts-sun8i-a83t-add-ve-node.patch I would be grateful for any pointers. Thanks Ryzer
