@alexc This happens on their kernel too, I created a topic on their forum (https://forum.radxa.com/t/hailo8-pcie-fw-control-timeout-on-cubie-a7a-with-asmedia-pcie-switch/31023), I suspect that the problem is on the Allwinner side and a patch is needed not even from Radxa but from Allwinner. But yesterday I was looking at their forum and there are quite a lot of complaints about the PCIe line, but this remains unanswered, I suspect that they think this is a feature and not a bug. If you need any other help or further study of the problem, I am ready to help in any way I can.

moved to tvboxes

@Ovaday First of all, thank you for the initiative. This repository contains the files that will be used as example to enable your board in Armbian: https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp The example file you're referring to is this one: https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp/blob/main/config/boards/h96-tvbox-3566.tvb The boot settings you should use may vary considerably from this reference, but your device will need a configured bootloader. https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp/tree/main/patch/u-boot/v2026.04/board_h96-tvbox-3566 You will need to focus on the new kernels like: https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp/tree/main/patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-7.1/dt The repository you need to interact with to include these files is this one: https://github.com/armbian/build You need to validate everything before publishing, so do some hard work using this compiler: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Overview/

I again apologize, even though I can not see what was "hostile" in what I wrote. I simply misunderstood and apologized for that, even though I think you are the passive aggressive one here. I am so sorry. (I will add you to ignore list so I will never accidentally interact with you again, so no need to leave the community if it is due to me)
