Hi, I could try to help, my board is exactly the same as yours. Can you provide me a source with instructions of how to do that?

Hello, I come across this topic as I got a couple of cheap OrangePI CM4 boards. As per I can see, the board is not yet supported by Armbian, so I would like to ask what is the current best option. I have seen BananaPI CM4 was an option, but is this still valid? Also, I have tried using the Ubuntu version (i.e. Ubuntu 22.04 with kernel 5.10.160) provided by OrangePI on mine and I have recompiled the kernel as below: This works well, but it doesn't seem supporting the NPU (i.e. there is no device "/dev/rknpu"). So I was wondering if the BananaPI CM4 above is better from that point of view. Regards,

Hello, I am facing an issue with my Youyeetoo YY3568 board. After that, I attempted to flash my own Yocto (Radxa manifest–based) wic image for the YY3568 using RKDevTool on Windows, but the flashing did not complete successfully. Since then, the board is always detected in Maskrom mode and never switches back to Loader mode. What I have tried so far: 1- Flashed prebuilt Ubuntu image (YY3568_Ubuntu_EDP.img) from the official link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1D90vztL9fRfWV7laV9mdcnZ5kNpxx_tl → Board still shows Maskrom mode after flashing. 2- Flashed SDK-based image and loader built using the official documentation: https://wiki.youyeetoo.com/en/YY3568/ubuntu → Board remains in Maskrom mode. I have tried flashing from both Windows (RKDevTool) and Linux (rkdeveloptool), but the board is consistently detected in Maskrom mode. Question: How can I recover the board from Maskrom mode and bring it back into Loader mode, so that I can flash images and make the board operational again? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

psst, I ordered a board, hopefully I've time and may get it going it takes a lot of *work* to even get it working and with more often than not , no (scant) documentation (e.g. missing dram controller docs ) / codes to even get it working. btw it is good for those who wish to have board support to donate in support of armbian in support of it, it is probably the only sustainable way to do so.

I like your kind of humor
