Hi, I own a Mini Mx III - II (S905X) that I "flashed" with an micro SD with install script. The tv box without any micro sd card inserted boot perfectly afterwards. I keep it but today, after few months I see that I have this image installed: Bookworm 23.11.1 Armbian_23.11.1_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.1.63_xfce_desktop.img.xz I have seen now that we have this version: 25.2.0 Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.86_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.6.63_xfce_desktop.img So I have tried to use armbian-config system firwmare update to get up to 25.2.0. After waiting to download and installa packages, I reboot my tv box but .... it doesnt boot properly. It says: "Failed to mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 as root file system" I am lucky as I keep the original micro SD card, so I have inserted it again and run again the install script, so now, again, I have 23.11.1 armbian booting perfectly in my tv box without any sd card. The question is .... 1. what have done armbian-config update to break this? 2. is the only way to keep my armbian OS up to last update by flashing again the new img file to sd card and make again the installation to my emmc of my tv box? 3. is there any other way not to loose all data to update to last updates? Thanks a lot,

ok but why does it work with rk3566-box-demo and not with rk3566-box-demo_x96_x6 ? 🤔

Hi All, Looking for assistance with getting an old SmartQ5 Mobile Internet Device running with Armbian. I was able to locate Github page (https://github.com/tpruvot/smartq-magicsd) which references booting from SD but need assistance getting armbian compiled and configured for the device. Any help is appreciated!

You almost get the same result with rtl or icplus drivers so It seems that you have another kind of chip for ethernet.

I wanted to try Armbian on a Raspberry Pi-5 with a Radxa penta SATA hat. Installed: Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.86_Rpi5b_bookworm_current_6.6.63_minimal.img The SATA hat is not detected: root@rpi5b:~# lspci 00:00.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM2712 PCIe Bridge (rev 21) 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Raspberry Pi Ltd RP1 PCIe 2.0 South Bridge I would expect this: root@raspi:~# lspci 0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM2712 PCIe Bridge (rev 21) 0000:01:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technology Corp.

Thanks for your time. ChrisO Silly me. Just found it. Add those two lines dtparam=pciex1 dtparam=pciex1_gen=3 to /boot/firmware/config.txt and reboot.
