I never mentioned any solution. Moving your post to an appropriate location is a forum moderation task and the post was FYI only. I don't have this board nor do I know how to fix it.

I am strugling withthe AXP223 gpio LDO configuration to initialise properly, otherwise the i2C lines to the touchscreen controller are unpowered. Therefore I will add traces in the axP223 rsb (reduced signal bus) driver code. And I try to not be annoying here, but I am a bit lost. What is the common method for driver debugging/development in armbian? I mean how to recompile the kernel without rebuilding all the image? For now I changed the kernel configuration for the rsb driver to module. And I will compile it on the target to add my traces. In case someone has the solution to my problem, my dts looks like this: &axp_gpio { gpio1_ldo_pin: gpio1-ldo-pin { pins = "GPIO1"; function = "ldo"; }; }; &reg_ldo_io1 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&gpio1_ldo_pin>; regulator-always-on; regulator-min-microvolt = <3000000>; regulator-max-microvolt = <3000000>; regulator-name = "i2C0-iovcc"; status = "okay"; }; And while the regulator initialises for the AXP223 GPIO1/LDO, I have nothing but GND on the pin. [ 1.223696] i2C0-iovcc: Bringing 3800000uV into 3000000-3000000uV Because the driver configures the pin in the regulators, it seems like the axp_gpio and pinctrl definitions are useless.

Hi, Thank you for responding, but honestly I didn’t understand the solution you mentioned. My R58X is still completely dead after flashing, with no power, no LEDs, and no way to enter Loader or MaskROM mode. Could you please provide a clear step-by-step method to bring the device back to life? Right now I only need a solution to power on the device and make it work again. The reply was “moved to the appropriate place”, but I still didn’t get the actual fix. Please guide me on how to recover the board. Thank you.

@robertoj OK. I managed to build Armbian, selecting mipi-panel-dbi support and booting to 16-bit. After setting it up and running the dts you provided, my screen still doesn't work. I'm probably doing something wrong, because although the screen glows white, it still shows barely noticeable backlight flickering. I also tried to do it according to Pancake's instructions, but I also didn't have any success.
