nope with original orangepi debian image you dint need to do point 1. Only go to orangepi-config and enable I2C5 M3 there.

@SteeMan oh no... Tried buster here and no good... But looks like the problem is on Debian's repo not Armbian's...

Thanks for your advice, this is really helpful. I am switching the board config to use bananapi sun50iw family, and it looks like most of the changes BTT made are already in the list of patches for sunxi-6.6 and sunxi-6.7 (the current config doesn't use 6.8 as edge). I'm making an analysis of the differences. The most obvious change that will be needed is to add the dts file, which is already in 6.7 but will need to be backported for 6.6. Although the device tree in the kernel makes a difference between a Pi and CB1 (SoM), which is also used on a Manta (CNC/3d-printing control board with SoM socket for CB1/CB2).

yes it boot properply if i pull the power xfce version does it correctly when i enter sudo reboot

Hi Referring to https://forum.armbian.com/topic/32667-usb-c-port-doesnt-work-on-pinebook-pro-after-the-latest-update-on-kernel-662/ USB -C is not working. I also tried 6.7.4-edge with no success. Looking for a solution G??gle found this: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-arm-108/pinebook-pro-usb-c-port-not-working-after-kernel-upgrade-4175732886/#google_vignette referring to Megi`s 6.7 kernel. The link was outdated, but the base worked and had versions 6.8 and 6.9. Tried both with a lot of success: USB-C working and the HDMI monitor output as well as Gigabit Ethernet work like a charm again. 😄 The only small issue remaining: Sound is not working (no analog or digital.) (I had a small issue following Megi`s Readme: The board.dtb should replace rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb in one of the existing dtb trees. I used dtb-6.7.4-edge-rockchip64.) any ideas about the sound issue are greatly appreciated. Sepp
