Version 20240125-edge with core 6.7 + package DEB mesa 20240125 (panthor) with HW acceleration.

Why such difficulties ? Just use normal images in which the NVMe + MTD installation works correctly via armbian-install.

This topic is only about OPI5. I don't have OPi5b, OPi5+, I have no idea what works there or not.

Tested "Armbian_23.09_Starfive2_lunar_current_6.1.31_xfce_desktop.img.xz" and it works well. Video appears to be a bit better as I can play back a 720p video, though not full 720p size. Sound is still great on HDMI and crackly on the jack.
 
Did you want feedback on which programs work/don't work?

@balbes150 Tried the above but it didn't work for me. As per your instructions above I:
- Changed firmware to 3.6.1
- Burned SD card with "reset-default-env-uboot-visionfive2-3.6.1.img" and booted, then turned device off. Attached file "boot-reset-default.txt" shows this. 
- Burned SD card with "update_uboot-visionfive2-3.6.1.img" and booted, then turned device off. Attached file "boot-update-uboot.txt" shows this
- Booted again (stopped autoboot by hitting key) and did a "printenv" so you can see if the changes above worked, then turned device off. Attached file "boot-printenv.txt" shows this
- Burned SD card with "Armbian_23.09_Starfive2_lunar_edge_6.6.0.img.xz" and booted, which failed. Attached file "boot-lunar_edge_6.6.0-failed.txt" shows this
 
So, had a look at the "printenv" output and found nothing "runs" your new env variables "boot_mmc_new", "boot_emmc_new", or "boot_nvme_new"!
 
I also noticed that in the failed boot log the message "## Error: "boot2" not defined". So I booted again, stopped autoboot, did a "setenv boot2 run boot_mmc_new", then "env save", booted again and it worked! Attached file "boot-lunar_edge_6.6.0-worked.txt" shows this.
 
I don't think this is the correct way to "fix" this issue, but it works.
 
Let me know if I did something wrong.

You must be either poor or selfish (or both) to abuse open source projects that are living from donations themselves to beg for money. I have never seen such a behaviour before...

Ver 20230911-EDK2-EFI kernel legacy\current\edge 
 
On the edge version, HDMI does not work in the kernel itself, but HDMI is supported at the level of the selection menu in GRUB, this allows you to have several different versions of the kernel\system (for example, add a self-assembled EDGE kernel with its own configuration) and choose on the monitor screen which kernel\system to run not using the UART console.

As someone who loves being always on bleeding edge updates, I can't express enough the gratitude for your always up-to-date builds. Thank you so much!

Thanks to you I was able to install Gentoo with a 6.y kernel.

Yes, I have 6 of these currently in an LXD cluster.

 

I will try to build such a version next week.

https://forum.mangopi.org/

@balbes150Also works with Android on the eMMC. 

@NicoD To run from an SD card, after writing the image, add the boot.ini file to the root dir (exactly to the root dir, not to the subdirectory, i.e. it should be like this /boot.ini)
 
And so far, the UART log at this launch.

Tnx. I saw the reason what is missing to run Armbian if the default Android firmware is used. ^)

I'm able to access the files from my nvme drive 👍
Here is the output of armbianmonitor if you want more details: https://paste.armbian.com/ufapucebiv

Clone my GIT and build the kernel (you can additionally change the configuration as you wish) - get a DEB package for manual installation\updating of the kernel on any system. The assembly can be done on the rock 5b itself, the assembly time is small.

You are using an old version of the kernel. Use the latest version of the images, there is already the necessary module there.

The quote you gave is outdated and not relevant. Installation on NVMe is performed from armbian-config. Start the system from the SD card, create a partition on NVMe (you do not need to format it), run armbian-config and select the option to install on NVMe+MTD(SPI) in the menu, answer the wizard's questions. The system will automatically do all the work, you don't need to copy anything with your hands.
 
Important. these versions DO NOT work with PD power supplies.
