@Sergioclr I remember someone was able to get Ethernet working by changing 16 to 0. There's two locations ethernet-phy@16 and reg = <16>; +&mdio1 { + rmii_phy: ethernet-phy@0 { + compatible = "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22"; + reg = <0>; + }; +};

here is the module driver files only for the 6.18.23-current-rockchip kernel. It works for the rk3228a cpu, but it might work for other CPUs that can run the rk32xx-box as well...

This likely means the I2S overlay doesn’t exist yet. Someone would need to implement it and add it upstream (or just here to Armbian build framework). You can try enabling it manually via the Device Tree editor: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/System/#device-tree-editor No guarantees it will work — hardware descriptions are often incomplete or inaccurate, and that’s outside our control.

Hey, After around 3h of gemini-vibe-coding, a completely noob like me was able to compile this sv6256p for the 6.18 kernel! I just download the last trunk community image release (Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.732 trixie) for the rk322x-box for my Frankeinstein mxq box that has the rk3228a cpu (armv7l instead arm64). Before starting compilation, I have apt updated/upgraded my installation to Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.778 trixie. I've got ~35mbps download connected to a 5GHz Network, but to be fair, the router was a bit far away from the device... (#update: 45mbps/4.5mbps down/up with device closer to the router) root@rk322x-box:~# uname -a Linux rk322x-box 6.18.23-current-rockchip #3 SMP Sat Apr 18 08:45:02 UTC 2026 armv7l GNU/Linux root@rk322x-box:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

And here is the explanation for each patch, according to Gemini: Anyway, in the next post I will upload the compiled/generated ssv6x5x.ko, ssv6x5x-wifi.cfg and ssv6x5x-sw.bin files, only for the 6.18.23-current-rockchip kernel and the rk3228a. It might work for other armv7l CPUs using the trunk rk-322x box images, but it certainly not work for any other kernel.
