Ask @blondu to run the tests, my sample will be busy until next week.

Which header package have you installed, from a shared network repository? This package will not work with the core for M3. You can build your kernel (change the configuration) directly on the M3 in the Armbian system, clone my GIT and run the generally accepted kernel assembly procedure in it (with the choice of kernel configuration). But be prepared that the necessary driver may not be in the source code or it will require a fix for proper assembly.

no

This is as it should be, this is the right launch option. For direct launch from SATA\NVMe, support for these devices in u-boot is needed, at the moment there is no such thing.

I haven't tested the speed, I don't have such a module

Version 20220905. The Wi-Fi module has been updated. Added DTB for NVMe.

ver 20220309 update config kernel, work LAN, WiFi, BT, HDMI sound, analog sound, SATA

You can see the test results for M3, you can see the real speed of SATA in it, the simplest noname device is used. http://ix.io/49r4

I haven't checked, but maybe for it to work, you need to first change the DTB and switch to NVMe\PCIe mode. But it is better to check with the manufacturer.

IMHO Overlay is a bad practice that can be used only in cases where it is not possible to change the DTB used (for example, the system is written to a medium that operates in read-only mode and it is not possible to replace the DTB with another one). In other cases, the DTS source code is used and the necessary fragment is added/changed to it and a new DTB is assembled, or, if there are no sources, use the DTB to DTS conversion utility, add \ change, and reverse conversion to DTB.

The latest Ubuntu images use the new kernel, Debian uses the old kernel. The kernel development process is ambiguous and may have different side effects. Try previous versions of Ubuntu.

I have long suggested to Firefly to make eMMC a removable module, or at least reduce its size and produce a model with 8 GB of eMMC. If you place the u-boot in SPI, eMMC will not be needed at all and you can significantly reduce the price. Perhaps if more users write to them about this, they will listen and release an additional version without eMMC. In the coming days I am waiting for the delivery of NVMe 2242 models, I think their speed will be significantly higher than SATA. By the way, it would be good to collect the results and links to SATA\NVMe models that have been tested in work on M2\m3\p2 and post this information on the official Fyrefly forum and here..

Some more information. I have just tested the latest version with kernel 6.0-rc3 on Station P1 (rk3399) - the result is very good. The initial state is Jammy XFCE with a desktop resolution of 1080p (1920 x1080), full-screen video via MPV\Celluloid works without problems and the temperature is no higher than 55 degrees, the processor frequency on the monitor is at 600\600 most of the time, i.e. the entire decoding process is performed on HW. Youtube playback to full screen (720p or 1080p is specified in the settings) without brakes, temperature within 55-68 degrees, frequency 1800 \1400, i.e. this is SW decoding, but the processor's capabilities are enough to work. Station P2 - The Debian test system is SID-XFCE. Full-screen video in MPV at 1080p - shows only 35-45 degrees. Youtub+Firefox full screen - 1080p and 720p does not exceed 50-60 degrees.

Ver 20220829 kernel 6.0-rc3

By default, SATA mode is enabled, to switch to NVMe, you need to change DTB (switch SATA mode to NVMe). Add the necessary to the source code (libraries, ffmpeg, browser, etc.) and build a new version

I already have everything I need to create all dtbs

I plan to add another DTB in which NVMe mode will be enabled and for those who need NVMe, it will be enough just to edit extlinux.conf and specify DTB for NVMe.

These "errors" report that you have nothing connected to MPI\CSI\LVDS

There is also a cheaper alternative - Station M2 and P2. To work as a desktop in 1080P mode, they fully cope with the work and also have Libreelec for use as a powerful and unique media center up to 4k. By the way, P2 has a unique possibility of direct and very easy connection of a standard SATA SSD, and it is easy to install Armbian on it.

Your information is already outdated . Now there is a fully finished device that can be used as a full-fledged replacement for PC. Firefly Station M3 (rk3588s). This is a fully finished and ready-to-use device, you do not need to assemble anything manually, as from a designer. Today I tested it with Armbian to play fullscreen video. In 1080p mode - everything works without problems, including youtube. Details are in the topic about Station M3 on the forum. DE works even in 4K mode quickly (especially if used as NVMe or SATA media, which are supported in M3) ps I would not advise contacting any AML-based models.

Try this version 20220828, it has this option enabled as a module.

Several tests of full-screen video playback on Station M3 (rk3588s) using the latest Armbian images. https://bbs.stationpc.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=323&pid=1141&fromuid=636914

The topic says how to get around this problem, I don't have any other recipes (I don't use this functionality).

attach the output of the script execution. I suspect that you have enabled additional options that have changed the contents of SPI, you have enabled the bootloader from SPI and no updates will work until you erase the contents of SPI. The details were in this topic.
