Hi Brent; YES! I did figure it out, finally. The issue is that almost all information on the web is for the older pipewire and wireplumber which works completely differently than the new versions. Bookworm used the "old way" and Trixie uses these new versions for which there isn't much info. Compounding the issue is that most information is regarding desktop versions of Linux, not headless like I run. So, when you use bluetooth on linux, wireplumber auto-creates profiles and pw nodes. Or at least it's supposed to. It wasn't creating these profiles because I was missing a conf file which is only needed when your NOT running on desktop, AFAICT. Add this file: /etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/50-bluez-no-seat.conf wireplumber.profiles = { main = { monitor.bluez.seat-monitoring = disabled } } If you do that, all of sudden, bluetooth "just works". Took forever to find that stupid little piece of information.

@sicxnull I ran into the same issue when flashing "Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Mxqpro_bookworm_current_6.12.65_minimal" (worked only in SD Card). The issue was gone when I switched to "Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-lpddr3-v1-3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server" built by @Nick A

Could you send me just the (short) list of packages you installed atop the base Armbian distro rather than a dump of every installed package? The goal is to provide me a simply procedure I can use to replicate the freeze you observe. You might also try running repeating the "free" command to monitor memory usage just after you start your tests. I expect you will see the swap usage steadily increasing. If you disable swap, the system will likely start killing processes.

Have you gotten bluetooth working with trixie and pipewire on other Armbian devices? I gave up on pipewire after trying it a year or so ago. Too many little audio glitches and bugs. Maybe it's better now? Anyway, if this is unique to the RockPI-S, I'll investigate further.

Hello everyone, I have a Lemfo H96 Max V56 (8GB RAM / 64GB eMMC). Board PCB Version: HCY RK3566 - 1X32 - V13 - 2021-03-27 I am relatively new to the Linux world. So far, the only image I have managed to flash and boot successfully is an old Linaro Debian 10 (vendor image from 2019). However, this version lacks hardware acceleration (it runs on llvmpipe), which makes it unusable for my specific needs. My Goal: I want to run a modern Linux with a Desktop environment to use PortMaster and RetroArch. For this, I critically need a system with working Panfrost/Mali GPU drivers. The Problem: I have read through this thread, but I am finding it quite confusing to pinpoint exactly where to start given the various methods (Legacy vs Mainline/Chainloader). Also, it seems some file links are dead or pointing to empty repositories. Request: Could someone please guide me to the correct/updated files for my specific 8GB board? The correct MiniLoader/SPL (.bin) for RKDevTool. A working Desktop Image (.img) (Armbian Bookworm or Ubuntu) that supports GPU acceleration. I am already comfortable using RKDevTool and putting the device into Maskrom mode, so I just need the correct file set to avoid bricking the device. Thanks in advance for any help!
