Thanks for giving it a nudge. Looks like some activity's brewing on it now. @laibsch, As I said before, I don't have an account with github. But I had looked at your Commit, and it looked to me like you copied the existing edge kernel's .dts, but with the needed modification. From my looking at it, I think it would work. Although if I were doing it, I would do it in 2 commits: 1. An initial commit that's just a copy of the present devicetree to bring it into the patch system, since it's apparently never been part of the patch system. 2. The change to address the specific issue. To address what paolosabatino's, comment on github said... The current kernel and edge kernel have two different devicetrees. The one this is about is the edge kernel's devicetree.

sorry for the delay, @mvpwar for RK3566 NPU you can use the original armbian DTB that enables NPU support: https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/blob/rk-6.1-rkr5.1/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3566-h96max-v56.dts I think you will take fragments from ancient builds like this: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/28895-efforts-to-develop-firmware-for-h96-max-v56-rk3566-8g64g/page/16/#findComment-211031 I don't know what the status is in version 6.17 but we are still required to use vendor 6.1

Thank you for the nudge. But who are you nudging? It isn't up to the PR author (me) to get this accepted. It's been rotting away since nobody actually tested it. And that could only be done by people who have the device, including @The Tall Man, I believe or others. I do not have access to the device(s) in question. And then one of the other devs needs to accept it. I'm happy to rebase or respond to reviews, but that hadn't happened, so we are now going in circles. So, the question is really who you are nudging.

Hi, Werner and Tallman. The slow update did seem a bit odd to me - its why I mentioned my good network connection. I'll try again later and see what happens. I am in eastern europe, and we don't normally get this kind of problem. I used to have a network connection of only 6 Mbit/s until about a year ago, and even that worked OK at the time. (948 Mbit/s as we have now is great). Normally my Linux Mint apt-update is usually less than a minute. Tallman:- we seem to have common likes and dislikes!. First, Firefox is definitely not installed on my Armbian, so I'll have a look at trying to install it later. Like you, I also dislike Snap and Flatpak packages. My first experience with a computer was back in the early 1960's with a Honeywell 803 - it had 1K x 18bit word magnetic memory, so any program written to run on it (usually Algol 63 - more or less machine code) had to be *tiny*. A colleague wrote a successful program to play whist on it - it rather makes the bloat associated with snap/flatpak packages look very silly to someone like me. My programming experience ended some years ago for various reasons, but I am firmly convinced that modern machines could be far faster and more efficient than they are if modern programmers had to use much less memory. We had to be very careful how we used space, and spent time optimizing anything we wrote. (actually not written - it was mostly hand-punched paper tape. (whats a keyboard)? I believe if modern programmers had to do this, we would not hear so much about the insecurity of software/networks - and I won't even go into how much companies like Microsoft appear to contribute to this bloat. I would have thought that an OS should contain all the elements (dependency files) necessary to run any software compatible with the hardware, so therefore it should only be necessary to install 'system' packages, instead of snap/flatpak with all the attendant dependencies (bloat). - Sorry - rant over. Finally, another question, which is driving me nuts. While I was playing with Armbian, I accidentally dragged the LibreOffice Write icon over the Armbian Config Icon, and got a new 'unnamed icon' folder - and I can find no way to get rid of it. I assumed this created a similarly named folder somewhere, so all I had to do was delete it but extensive file searching hasn't traced it so far - any pointers please? Thanks again, Keith Edit: thanks for that Torz77 - should be able to find it, I guess.

Firefox is called firefox-esr in Debian (Extended Support Release)
