My recommendation is to use SD card, or stick to smelly factory OS, which supports this. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-does-hardware-feature-xy-work-in-old-kernel-but-not-in-more-recent-one It is nothing unusual that different internal NAND chips never came to modern software especially also because we are trying to maintain this cheap hardware with absolutely no budget. If boot scenarios for this chip is closed source (possible), than things are hard also for those that are very familiar with embedded Linux. If you are new, it will be hard and will take time. Nobody can do the homework instead ... https://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Main_Page https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/sources/families/include/rockchip64_common.inc

There is one bug related to UEFI installer which you might have luck to bump into I hope we will soon fix this. If not before, next time I am reinstalling OS on my x86 hardware. I use Armbian x86 almost exclusively.

I made a first round of testing, some manually: khadas edge 2, installed to eMMC, logs: https://paste.armbian.com/iviwutanag bananapi m2+, installed to eMMC, logs: orangepi lite2, logs: https://paste.armbian.com/awicabotod khadas vim1, installed to eMMC, logs: https://paste.armbian.com/ulopiziseb , maintainer needed khadas vim2, installed to eMMC, logs: https://paste.armbian.com/editiyaziv orangepi2e, installed to eMMC, logs: https://paste.armbian.com/ekuyaporil and some via auto-testing machinery. Most of images works: We need to fix Rpi4, Jetson nano, perhaps other media?

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).

Just a reminder, if someone wants to fix it.

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.

If you are running Armbian desktop and you like to use Visual Studio Code, open a terminal and run: sudo apt update sudo apt install code

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
