Removing packages from this PPA shit, restores DE startup. This repository is more trouble than it's worth. I propose to exclude him from all official images. For those who want to use it, let them install it themselves manually and take full responsibility.

It looks like there is a bug in the first step (when you set a new root password, it remains the same 1234). As a temporary solution, log in to the installed system with the root password (1234) and change it again to a new one.

I'm not sure. it's either a bug or it's planned that way. But after changing the ROOT password at the first step of the settings wizard (at the first start it asks for a new password, and confirmation, everything goes without errors), the primary password 1234 remains in the system. Is that how it 's meant to be ?

A problem with APT has been detected. vscodium sources do not work, and you have to disable them in apt-source.

Alternatively, a suggestion for the testing process. It is preferable to use the version with DE (XFCE - as officially recommended) for tests by maintainers. If the DE version works, then the Cli version will also work. I ran into a problem on Station M1 - last time I checked the Cli version and fixed the problems that were there, and did not immediately notice that there was a problem with DE (there is no startup due to the use of packages from the ppa). It looks like this is a common problem with the legacy kernel - DE does not work (does not start) due to the use of the 3D group as part of the image). Disabling the repository and updating the system (with reinstalling the xorg component) restores the DE startup.

Done

Interestingly, this is the first time I've seen this model. The presence of SATA and the ability to easily connect standard SSD drives is interesting. The lack of an SD card is a big minus, it will significantly complicate the use of this device, but this can be circumvented if the u-boot source code for this model is available to me. But I don't have this model, so I can't help you with anything. you have fallen behind the reality again Armbian for Firefly Station M3 (rk3588s-roc-pc) has been around for a long time and is well supported. AltLinux for M3 is also available. Also, I am currently testing\debugging Libreelec for Station M3. So the support for Station M3 is much better than Rock 5b https://www.armbian.com/station-m3/

extlinux.conf -> "append ...... drm.edid_firmware=edid/1920x1080.bin" This is just an example, not a ready-made solution. drm.edid_firmware=edid/1920x1080.bin

If you turn off HDMI, the system resets the settings that were agreed upon when you turned it on. you can try specifying fixed settings in the startup command line or try switching via xrandr (search the Internet for how this is done). This advice applies to working with u-boot and it needs to be done in u-boot (via the UART console).

In these versions, the sound works with HDMI and analog 3.5. To switch where to output the sound, use the applet on the XFCE panel (Volume control menu item), use Jammy https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/nanopc-t4/

DEB package with kernel headers for 5.10.110 https://disk.yandex.ru/d/hdWgrVC5gN3qJg

Ver 20221128-EFI kernel 5.10.110 - version that uses running via EFI\Grub on M3 (rk3588).

Name image or a link to the image that you downloaded and use.

Armbian_22.11.1_Station-m3_jammy_legacy_5.10.66_xfce_desktop.img.xz Station m3 - work by the way, on the page of the testing form, there is no Station M3 model in the list.

StarFive (v1) No, I don't have V2 (VisionFive2\Star Five 2), so I don't plan any work on adding support for V2.

Hmm, I have not seen mecotronics models with rk3588 in a plastic case and without an SD card. Show a photo of the device or a link to it. https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/05/12/mekotronics-r58-is-a-cost-optimized-rockchip-rk3588-sbc/

ver 20221127 for Starfive kernel 6.1.0-rc4

USB-DVB ? These headers will obviously not work with the 5.10.110 kernel. Use the old 5.10.66 kernel and its headers (station-m3-5.10.66)

This does not work on version 5.10.110. I don't plan to spend a lot of time debugging this mode on an old BSP 5.10 kernel.

As far as I know, everyone has an SD card. What model are we talking about ?

My HDMI output works without problems. I checked several TV\monitors in 1080p mode. I am interested in which monitor you are using. Are you writing about USB 3 - meaning USB-C in DP mode for output to the monitor? Which HDMI cable do you use?

Which version of the system image are you using (full name\link)?

Other source code (for details, see the rockchip website). So that there is no overlap on the previous kernel. Where is the output connected ? What device ?

Ver 20221125 kernel 5.10.110

There are no problems with audio devices on T4. It was enough just to open Volume Control (on the panel XFCE) and choose which device to output sound through. Started playback, opened Volume control and selected in the drop-down list what to use for audio output.
