We have DTS, I even tested it few days ago, but don't have the energy nor time to open PR ...

Kernel headers on this particular kernel are not in good shape as kernel is not in good shape RK3588 is using changed Linux kernel fork used by Rockchip to bring the hardware up - focus is their hardware functions only. More or less only they maintain it without general purpose fixes. Many standard functions are broken or unmaintained. Volunteers and people at board vendors can only try to fix most critical things to make hardware usable ... until this is not working decently (1Y+), there will be many strange problems to find. Both is good I guess, but can't say how vendor takes care on PR. With Armbian - if its clear what it is about, tested, came from trustful author, ... its merged pretty fast https://github.com/armbian/build/pulls

Not familiar with. You mean you have tried, but it didn't work? So far, booting from USB key always worked, but am not familiar much how Ventoy is combining distributions. If it doesn't work, we must be missing some small details in this UEFI structure or Ventoy is too rigid. I have recently found a bug which could affect UEFI booting, but this is related to the install part. https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4758/files

Odroid WIFI module not working with Odroid C4 and Jammy
Igor replied to andi61's topic in Software, Applications, Userspace
That is a great resource regarding wireless modules. This is not that easy as drivers build into the kernel can still have such problems. In fact, those drivers are build into, just by Armbian. TBH i didn't look closely enough to see which drivers are actually in use. It is also possible to have different drivers for the same device and then you block one or another. Where is "at the end" ? I am exploring Unix / Linux systems and hardware for 30 years. And the more you know, the more you are aware how little that is. There are many things that can go wrong. Stay open minded. -

Raising issues is reserved for project contributors that are planning to work on issues. End users can't raise issues to maintainers. They spot a problem on forum and open a task. Or not. This is amateur development. We use ticketing system to tell you what we did https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/ in hope that someone will notice our efforts. To clarify few things: stable images are generated every three months. Stabilisation is extremely expensive and nobody else is providing that service. Little above 0% is compensated by "you" and cold 0% by HW vendor. It seems everyone is happy if images are just built and provided for download. To satisfy this need, we are generating rolling releases, every week all boards, supported or not supported, gets their images with latest code. This costs us perhaps few hundred per month, while providing stable images costs 1000 x more as includes manual and automated testing, fixing problems, testing, fixing, writing documentation, coordination ... For most interesting and WIP devices, we also provide images per code change. This system is maintained by team private resources and with help of unselfish community actors, partners.

Odroid WIFI module not working with Odroid C4 and Jammy
Igor replied to andi61's topic in Software, Applications, Userspace
This is not a very long term solution as this kernel is (more) security hazardous, contain bad code and is only maintained by Hardkernel. We want to get rid of it as soon as possible. In fact we already did - we don't promote it anymore, but one can still build an image with. Fixing WiFi (your initial problem) is super super tiny compared to all problems that comes with legacy kernel and will never be fixed vs. modern kernel. Its always a trade. -
untilThis week meeting topics: 1. Checking the progress of Armbian-next define upgrade path adjust communication strategy 2. Moving development related topics to GitHub how, when, how to communicate 3. Questions around upcoming release Today is the code freeze. Sent out announcement, asks for testing Different starting hour!!! General goal of weekly meetings: To discuss the three (3) issues of the week Discussions will be documented to respective Jira tickets so they can be tracked Three (3) new issues will be selected from Jira for the next meeting The purpose of a weekly developers meeting is to coordinate development of the build engine, continuous integration, operating system features and low level support. Meetings are hosted located on Zoom (Video) and IRC and Discord (Text). While we would prefer you attend on Zoom when possibly, we will also monitor text chat during the call for those unable to join Zoom. Please RSVP either way. Do you want to participate or help in some way? Meetings are focused in developers top level topics and its expected that understand embedded software development, software testings or operating system management. In term of programming languages, knowledge of at least BASH & Python is expected. Since meetings are held in public, any registered community member can join and listen. If you want to suggest issues for the next week, you have to be recognized Armbian contributor. If you want to become one, resolve at least one intermediate level issue and tell us something about you. This is needed to efficiently communicate and to give you access to our organisation infrastructure Jira, Github, hardware lab and servers. @Contributor/Maintainer

Odroid WIFI module not working with Odroid C4 and Jammy
Igor replied to andi61's topic in Software, Applications, Userspace
You can build legacy kernel image with the same old kernel and if you stay with old private kernel 4.9.y, it will work. Everything else (modern true Linux mainstream kernel) is problematic as drivers needs constant adjustments when kernel versions goes up. We have a lot of expenses doing that ... https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/ This is not Armbian versus Hardkernel but fixed private kernel provided by chip maker that was adopted and used by Hardkernel to be able to sell hardware vs. clean and professionally maintained Linux kernel code. Quick info: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-does-hardware-feature-xy-work-in-old-kernel-but-not-in-more-recent-one This is just a top level tool.

This is crazy. I have several Opi3 and they all work, while people reporting "WiFi doesn't work". Please provide everything what you did, which image you are using, how do you trying to connect and provide full logs.

Those are developers preview builds, where you can check what works and at some point it will be good enough for some uses cases. In a couple of years, it will be functional on the level of kernel 5.10.y. Download is possible from CI pipeline: https://github.com/armbian/build/releases Boot log: This board is looking for maintainer(s) and (this) forum moderator (contact @Werner).

Many of us are using Armbian not just on ARM single board computers but also on servers (bare metal & virtual). We use our builds since we trust it more then Debian, Ubuntu, not to mention other distributions that are recklessly updating and one ends up as an OS tester and not OS user. Personally I use Armbian Jammy on Ryzen 9 workstation with great success. My primary use case is development / productivity. For the road I used to have 13" Dell notebook which recently suddenly died. It was out of warranty so I had to get something new. After some testings of various devices I settled with 12th Gen Intel i5-1240P powered Lenovo. Then I tried many general purpose distros to see how well they work and all had some (minor) troubles ... We are having UEFI images (common image) since some time, but UEFI nor desktops were fine tuned nor ready for such performance daily driver desktop usage. We were close, but not close enough to just run it. Past two weeks we have been lifting general UEFI support, fixed many bugs and what came out is "Armbian ultimate developers desktop build". - improved support in GRUB (armbian wallpaper) & HiDPI GRUB support - all preinstalled applications are normal apt packages - current 5.15.y kernel, Jammy userland (5.19.y has some strange issues) - snapd is not installed (user can install it) - HiDPI support (automated adjustments on big screen resolutions) - NVIDIA graphics acceleration with proprietary driver (x86 only) - Intel graphics acceleration also works out of the box - preinstalled Google Chrome (x86 only) - preinstalled Microsoft Visual Studio Code (x86 only) - ZFS 2.1.5 ready (apt install zfsutils-linux zfs-dkms) - face unlock works perfectly fine on this laptop - installation to SSD drive to dual boot with Windows 10/11 is supported Armbian classical way by transferring actual live image to the prepared partition via nand-sata-install. All you need to do is prepare spare space on your drive, Windows 10/11 or Linux, UEFI support (most if not all hardware for past 10 years has it). I have tweaked images (XFCE, Gnome, Cinnamon) a bit to my personal needs, but making changes is welcome. Nice to have: disk encryption within nand-sata-install, small bug fixing, additional DEs. Currently we have CLI, XFCE, Gnome and Cinnamon. Others are too buggy. https://www.armbian.com/uefi-x86/ https://www.armbian.com/uefi-arm64/ Please report where it works and how (well)!

Samples arrived ♥️ HW looks fascinating, Armbian is yet to be ported so can't comment how good this is in realworld. Its shipped with stock Khadas Ubuntu, kernel 5.4.y, which is good to boot something ... Technical specs at CNX.

Preparation Supported build environment is Ubuntu Focal 20.04 x64 (minimal iso image). a guest inside a VirtualBox or other virtualization software, a guest managed by Vagrant . This uses Virtualbox (as above) but does so in an easily repeatable way. Please check the Armbian with Vagrant README for a quick start HOWTO, inside a Docker , systemd-nspawn or other container environments (example), running natively on a dedicated PC or a server (not recommended), 20GB disk space or more and 2GB RAM or more available for the VM, container or native OS, superuser rights (configured sudo or root access). Execution apt-get -y install git git clone https://github.com/armbian/build cd build ./compile.sh This will download all necessary sources, execute compilation and/or build a boot-able image. Most of things will be cached so next run will be extremely faster! Real time examples: Documentation
