hm... After some digging, it seems like one main problem, perhaps the only one, is the lack of gpio line naming. gpiolib is centered around the idea that lines are referenced using names rather than numbers. However, when listing the names they are all empty i. e. "". This makes it impossible to reference any line. This is obviously about boot/dtb. Moreover, while orangepi 5 successfully reuses the rockchip stuff, the actual names are board specific. I have never worked with the dtb/dts stuff. But assigning names to the connections should not be that complicated. Actually, names like "gpio0", "gpio1" etc reflecting physical lines should be fine. Any hint out there where to start?

@SecLyzer You can find everything you need here

@Nick A Is it possible that you can make a secure boot version of the X96Q V1.3 debian minimal or tell me, how I can build it myself on MX Linux (Debian based)? Never done this before yet and sadly, my X96Q (plus) is based on Allwinner H616 with a single MMC (1.5GB DDR3 RAM and 8GB ROM)

@jamesharton the Armbian images have been refreshed with the new DDR binary. Also thanks for sharing the pic.
