From desktops I tested Gnome - works.

I looked at this for an hour and unfortunately can't figure it out. It seems that Ambian didn't 'fork' from Armbian, instead did something else to make their clone of your code.

@Nick A I tested images from your repo and still can't get one to boot properly from the eMMC in my hardware. The hardware is a X96Q LPDDR3 v1.3 (I'm pretty sure since this info is written in the mainboard). Tested image was Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-lpddr3-v1-3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server.img. When booting from SD card, it works. After installing to eMMC and booting from it, I get: [ 2044.312802] reboot: Power down U-Boot SPL 2025.01-armbian-2025.01-S6d41-P7151-H8869-V98f7-Bb703-R448a-dirty (Apr 02 2025 - 21:19:05 -04 00) DRAM:testing 32-bit width, rank = 2 read calibration failed! testing 32-bit width, rank = 1 DRAM:Store cfg DRAM:1st writing pattern DRAM:detecting column address bits detected 10 columns DRAM:restore cfg DRAM:reconfigure for all active rows DRAM:store cfg DRAM:2nd writing pattern DRAM:detecting row address bits detected 15 rows DRAM:restoring cfg DRAM:end of auto detect dram size MBUS port 0 cfg0 0100000d cfg1 00640080 MBUS port 1 cfg0 06000009 cfg1 01000578 MBUS port 2 cfg0 0200000d cfg1 00600100 MBUS port 3 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00500064 MBUS port 4 cfg0 20000209 cfg1 1388157c MBUS port 5 cfg0 00640209 cfg1 00200040 MBUS port 6 cfg0 00640209 cfg1 00200040 MBUS port 8 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00400080 MBUS port 11 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00640080 MBUS port 14 cfg0 04000009 cfg1 00400100 MBUS port 16 cfg0 2000060d cfg1 09600af0 MBUS port 21 cfg0 0800060d cfg1 02000300 MBUS port 22 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00640080 MBUS port 25 cfg0 0064000f cfg1 00200040 MBUS port 26 cfg0 20000209 cfg1 1388157c MBUS port 37 cfg0 01000009 cfg1 00400080 MBUS port 38 cfg0 00640209 cfg1 00200040 MBUS port 39 cfg0 20000209 cfg1 1388157c MBUS port 40 cfg0 00640209 cfg1 00200040 1024 MiB Trying to boot from MMC2 NOTICE: BL31: v2.10.14(debug):armbian NOTICE: BL31: Built : 18:07:43, Apr 2 2025 NOTICE: BL31: Detected Allwinner H616 SoC (1823) NOTICE: BL31: Found U-Boot DTB at 0x4a0b2520, model: hechuang,x96-q LPDDR3 v1.3 INFO: ARM GICv2 driver initialized INFO: Configuring SPC Controller INFO: PMIC: Probing AXP305 on RSB ERROR: RSB: set run-time address: 0x10003 INFO: Could not init RSB: -65539 INFO: BL31: Platform setup done INFO: BL31: Initializing runtime services INFO: BL31: cortex_a53: CPU workaround for erratum 855873 was applied INFO: BL31: cortex_a53: CPU workaround for erratum 1530924 was applied INFO: PSCI: Suspend is unavailable INFO: BL31: Preparing for EL3 exit to normal world INFO: Entry point address = 0x4a000000 INFO: SPSR = 0x3c9 INFO: Changed devicetree. ns16550_serial serial@5000000: pinctrl_select_state_full: uclass_get_device_by_phandle_id: err=-19 U-Boot 2025.01-armbian-2025.01-S6d41-P7151-H8869-V98f7-Bb703-R448a-dirty (Apr 02 2025 - 21:19:05 -0400) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner H616 (SUN50I) Model: hechuang,x96-q LPDDR3 v1.3 DRAM: 1 GiB Core: 59 devices, 20 uclasses, devicetree: separate WDT: Not starting watchdog@30090a0 MMC: mmc@4020000: 0, mmc@4021000: 3, mmc@4022000: 1 Loading Environment from FAT...

[...] Note that it says "U-boot loaded from SD" but it was not, there is no SD plugged in in this test. Also, It got much further than the upstream one. U-boot was loaded (all stages), it found the boot script & initrd, but then fell apart when loading dtb and booting kernel. Another very interesting issue is that this image that booted fine on the first time, will not boot again from the SD a second time (it hits the same issue as above even from the SD card). I need to re-flash the SD so it will boot again. Very weird.

Hi, I'm still having this issue after installing qemu-emulators-full and qemu-user-static on the host (arch) does anyone have any idea or workaround ?

Screenshot from something working? because everything is black, cursor left upper corner. I have Xorg log, if you need other logs please specify the ones you need. edit: this is from the Armbian 25.8.2 Trixie XFCE 1.3GB image installed to emmc. Xorg.tgz
