Well apparently it is an issue, as stated above by @JFL. Also, after a RECALL, I'm the one who did the PR to change it from =y to =m. https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8300/commits/bb71177580b34c1aeaeb601696d603b6dc49d326 As for udev and delay, you could edit the udev system file; /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules The line you want to edit is about 15 lines down. Change from rtc0 to rtc1.

Interesting. I wonder how the FriendlyElec stock kernel is assembled, because according to the log the stock system doesn’t use any Rockchip clock—only the HYM8563.

No issue, because it would behave the same as the default Rockchip system clock. Moreover, by default `fake-hwclock` is running, so after connecting a battery the user would just need to uninstall `fake-hwclock`. That shouldn’t be a problem.

I am trying building image natively on orangepiplus, but the scripts are not designed to complete it. System incompatibility, lack of packages for this distribution etc make it fail. How do you manage building it with this Armbian's official building tool ? I am very curious to discover the right approach as I need adding in-kernel modules, which you can't build as stand alone. At the same time, where can u-boot be downloaded from? I understand, that it was updated in 2024 : [🌿] {u-boot:1} Preparing u-boot targets packaging [ 2024.01 ] [🌿] {u-boot:1} Deploying u-boot binary target [ 2024.01 :: u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin ]

Hello again, Yes, I read the documentation, that's why I said my UART adapter doesn't work and I ordered a compatible one which is on its way. I managed to somehow solve my issue. Luckily I had another SSD lying around (Kingston) which works without any issue and is recognized every time and bootable. My original SSD (Crucial) has no hardware problems though, because I used it in an x86 Ubuntu machine and works without any problem whatsoever. So although I managed to solve my situation, the underlying problem is still there and may re-surface to someone else. I would like to re-state that the 25.5.1 armbian desktop does not even boot (edge or vendor) and the 25.2.2 boots but barely works on my board. Thanks for the time. PS. I ended up using JR ubuntu, because although non-supported anymore, it was the only one working. If you find my situation is worth further investigation and you would like to look into it, I can send you the serial logs once I get the proper adapter.
