Version 20230828-legacy with kernel 5.15.127. Expanded the list of sound modules and codecs (USB\PCIe).

I am testing the launch only with the u-boot that comes from the factory (with a single launch of the update), I do not control why the new versions of u-boot do not work correctly. Perhaps the reason for the incorrect operation of HDMI is errors in u-boot 3.x, try to roll back u-boot to version 2.11.5, NVMe works in this version and there have been no reports of problems with HDMI.

for those who want to launch the "official" Armbian (image versions from the official download page), this is very easy to do. Update u-boot according to the instructions in the first message (if you have already done this, you can skip this step). Download the official Armbian image, unpack, burn to the SD card, download https://disk.yandex.ru/d/-yoq6BZqC8ZbAQ and replace the file on the SD card uEnv.txt the correct file. Connect the SD card and turn on the power, the system starts automatically. Important. I do not know how well the official image works and I am not responsible for its work. I only checked the general launch. user@192.168.1.12's password: __ ___ _ _____ _ ____ \ \ / (_)___(_) ___ _ __ | ___(_)_ _____|___ \ \ \ / /| / __| |/ _ \| '_ \| |_ | \ \ / / _ \ __) | \ V / | \__ \ | (_) | | | | _| | |\ V / __// __/ \_/ |_|___/_|\___/|_| |_|_| |_| \_/ \___|_____| Welcome to Armbian 23.8.0-trunk.259 Jammy with bleeding edge Linux 5.15.0-edge-starfive2 No end-user support: untested automated build System load: 9% Up time: 11 min Memory usage: 3% of 3.79G IP: 192.168.1.12 CPU temp: 40°C Usage of /: 9% of 7.3G To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".

Version 20230824-legacy with kernel 5.15.127. Expanded the list of Wi-Fi modules (USB\PCIe). Added DTB for models with 4 GB of RAM (for use on 4GB models - rename the DTB file or edit /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf with a 4 GB indication).

Version 20230824-legacy with kernel 5.15.127. Expanded the list of Wi-Fi modules (USB\PCIe). Added DTB for VisionFive V2 models with 4 GB of RAM (for use on 4GB models - rename the DTB file or edit /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf with a 4 GB indication).

Do you have a model with 4 GB of RAM ? Can you show the output of the "free -m" command from a running system with the edge and current kernel ?

Judging by the log, u-boot does not recognize the SD card and does not read data from it. ** Invalid partition 1 ** Couldn't find partition mmc 1:1 Can't set block device Show the UART log of the system EDGE startup "as is" (no need to execute any commands in u-boot). When you start LEGACY, you can see that the SD card is reading the service file normally uEnv.txt 58 bytes read in 5 ms (10.7 KiB/s) Importing environment from mmc1 ... , which guarantees the correct start of the system. After recording the EDGE version , check if there is a file /boot/uEnv.txt on the SD card.

Judging by the output of printenv, important variables are not set. Run the bootloader update once (details are in this topic in the first message) and show the UART startup log after that.

Show another UART log of the Armbian startup process from an SD card with a new bootloader. Judging by the output of printenv, they changed the logic of starting the system, so the update did not work, at this stage it is not critical, but it may affect future versions and I need to make a correction to the update script. It looks like this is due to errors in the new loader. There is a warning about this on the website with the update. The new bootloader does not work correctly with 8GB models. ******* Note: Please do not upgrade u-boot/spl for 8GB DDR VisionFive2 since CMA will not allocated successfully under Debian image 202306; https://github.com/starfive-tech/VisionFive2/releases

The update is designed specifically based on the condition of the device as it is currently being sold, so that any user can very easily start the system immediately after purchase without complicated and dangerous steps with flashing u-boot. I tested only the version that comes in the device from the factory by default. If you have a UART, show the output at startup without updating. If your system starts without installing an update, then it is not necessary to use it. If it does not start, perform an update. Where does this conclusion come from ? Show the UART startup log without updating and the output of "printenv" from the new u-boot before the update is launched. replace dtb with this one https://disk.yandex.ru/d/G1fios76WAdBvQ or wait for the release of a new version of the images The upper-right corner is the speaker icon, you can specify "Default sinc", or immediately select Volume control (in the same menu) during playback and specify which output to use by default for a particular player\program. Consider this a feature of the current set of programs\kernel. You need to move the cursor further so that the system installs it correctly.

Thanks for the tests and feedback, it's always helpful. It is also advisable to specify which monitor and with what resolution was used.

Version 20230817-current with a 6.5 kernel in which HDMI works (partially). There is little practical use, because there is no USB and you cannot use a keyboard or mouse, but you can at least see the system startup process on the monitor screen. To display the color correctly, you need to remove two parameters at the end of the append (splash plymouth...) line in the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file the practical benefits of output to the monitor, even if USB does not work) and there is no UART connection: 1. you can immediately see the IP address for SSH connection and system settings without accessing the router. 2. you can immediately see if there is a problem at startup, for example, an error mounting the root system, or a failure when starting a file system check (when the system is waiting for a reaction from the user)

Ver 20230817-current (kernel 6.5). Early HDMI support has been added, not everything works correctly, but it allows you to perform at least minimal system configuration through a regular monitor and keyboard. To fix the color in the console, after writing the image to the Sd card, remove the last two parameters from the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file from the append line (splash plymut....).

see the first message of the topic, there are all links to directories with images. ver 20230814-legacy the kernel configuration has changed - simultaneous operation of the standard HDMI output and an additional video card on the PCIe bus (NVIDIA) is supported.

Images for Visionfive-2. https://disk.yandex.ru/d/YDBZD53WnCk1Ig Important. For the system to work correctly, you need to update the bootloader in SPI\flash once (the switch for selecting the device to run should be set to “qspi” 0,0 , this is the default state when delivered from the factory). To do this, download the image from the link https://disk.yandex.ru/d/zsqznfa1ySI2gw burn it to the SD card, connect it to VF2 and turn on the power, wait 2 minutes and turn off the power. After that, you can write an ArmbianTV image to the SD card, connect it to VF2 and the system will start automatically. The next steps are usually the initial setup of Armbian. In versions with DE (IceWM XFCE). even video playback in the window works (fullscreen mode does not work) through the Parole player. Analog audio output is enabled by default, to switch to HDMI audio, use the settings via Volume Control as usual.
