@savznkvo if you followed my compile.sh steps from above, you should have a file Armbian-unofficial_26.05.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_trixie_current_6.18.21_minimal.img in ./output/images ready to be flashed to your SD card. Insert and boot. At this point you need TV / Kbd or UART to finish the wizard (set root PW etc). Now start armbian-install (see screen shot). Transfer *.img to /dev/nvme0n1, use netcat or similar. Then power down, remove SD and eMMC (if plugged). Restart from NVME, now you have to complete first time wizard again. Tested with current main and it works flawlessly. Addon: if you apt-get dist-upgrade, a newer kernel package from Armbian nightly builds is installed and the bcmdhd wifi kernel driver module is recompiled - which needs some time. This will DOWNGRADE from 6.18.21 to 6.18.20 currently - this works as designed. HTH // Sven-Ola

From an OS's point of view, only a Mesa build with Teflon and Rocket driver support is needed (available since Mesa 25.3). Inferences can then be executed with ai-edge-litert. I have been experimenting with this for some time on all my devices equipped with Rockchip RK3588/RK3588s.

@savznkvo Installing headless (blind / via network) on a board this new will fail probably. Get a TV and connect an HDMI display or get a serial adapter and connect that for debug. I'll check later with a spare NVME, but I am pretty sure it works (provided, that you compiled the correct firmware). HTH // Sven-Ola

@sven-ola I tried this way too, no luck. Or at least I can't connect to SBC via SSH after.

Hello @savznkvo and @Logan. Directly booting from NVME is not supported by the ROM software burned in the RISCV chip. Instead, the OrangePi RV2 chip is able to boot from SD, eMMC, and Flash / MTD (in this order). You need to prepare the board's internal flash for NVME boot with Boot Armbian from SD card. As root, start armbian-install and select "Install to MTD". Transfer a fresh Armbian image to your NVME. If you do not have the "armbianized" MTD boot config installed, @c0rnelius above hints on booting apply. HTH // Sven-Ola
