Has anyone made (or bought!) an adapter that takes the 3 pin TTL-level console port and converts it to a DB9 or RJ45 port that can mount in a PCI bracket? If so, what did you use? And what port did you use to power it as the console port does not provide a 3.3V or 5.5V pin for power (there is a pin labeled "RSV" which seems to supply 5V and may be usable but I don't know its capabilities). I've done this before for other systems using these without too much trouble but when I tried with this board it's not working. Admittedly I haven't hooked it up to a scope to look at the signals, but I'm suspicious of the high baudrate being to blame. I have a couple USB adapters that work (so I know the console itself works), but I want to rackmount this box and wire it up to my console server. I need RS232 to do that.

Hello! I had an issue upgrading my khadas edge2 to the linux-image-edge-rockchip-rk3588 package (24.8.0-trunk.597) on the edge/rolling release image I had installed. It looks like issues with building the initramfs files, specifically trying to symlink on top of a file that already exists and/or copying the /bin/osk-sdl binary. The following seems to have allowed me to use apt install -f to get the kernel and initramfs files to be built and installed successfully. Probably the change in the symlink code was unnecessary, but I did both and got a bootable system out of it, so it's a bit late for me to test. I made the following changes to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/osk-sdl: 24c24,28 < ln -s "$(basename "${so_src}")" "${DESTDIR}/${so}" --- > if [ -f "${DESTDIR}/${so}" ] ; then > echo "FIXME: ${DESTDIR}/${so} exists! Skipping!" > else > ln -s "$(basename "${so_src}")" "${DESTDIR}/${so}" > fi 71c75,76 < exit 1 --- > echo "FIXME: not exiting..." > # exit 1 Obviously, this isn't a long-term solution, I just wanted to make sure my system was bootable, and this allowed me to get that. I should maybe add that it looks like the rolling release build of this didn't result in an OS image on the website -- I don't know if that is related or not: Missing: https://dl.armbian.com/nightly/khadas-edge2/Noble_edge_gnome Present: https://dl.armbian.com/nightly/khadas-edge2/Noble_vendor_gnome-kisak

Continue .. An other issue With Z1 Tv Box is that i tried to install the image to eMMC via armbian-install. Installation succeeds but after system was not able to boot directly from eMMC. this has to do with U-boot probably because Miniarch uses extlinux to boot in a seperate fat partition .... I will try to manual partition the eMMC to see if this is resolved. The box now works nice with SD card with ssh, apache, php, mariadb and firebird3 server ALL works OK

Hello everyone I have a X96 clone named Z1 with 2 GB Ram and 16 GB Rom that I was able to boot and install MiniArch with the image ( MiniArch-20240715-6.10.0-board-h313.x96_q_lpddr3-SD-Image.img ) this work Correctly with the box. I went further and investigate the possibility to install Armbian and I confirm that I was able to Install Armbian (with some hacks) I have used the bellow image : Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.495_Orangepi3_noble_current_6.6.36_gnome_desktop.img.xz The box works nice but with 3 issues 1> HDMI image is broken on console and I have a green image with pixels 2> No Ethernet Adapter Recognized and i used a USB to Ethernet adapter. 3> No CPU temp
