I've tried to run Armbian on HK1RBOX V2 with the latest Jammy version (Nov 30,2022). I just replaced the dtb with the one extracted from HK1RBOX V2 firmware. Here is the result -- Jammy XFCE desktop with kernel 4.19 -- Work fine. Need to copy wifi driver from the original firmware to have wifi function. Jammy XFCE desktop with kernel 5.19 -- Blocked. The boot message is as below. Looks like there are something wrong with the dtb compatibility Starting kernel ...

Thanks for the info!

Glad to here that solved you problem on compiling. I've met the same issue before and solved it with the package. I'd like to suggest you to try the latest armbain as the new version already has many wifi drivers in. 5.9.0 is too old.

Just burned the station m2 release onto EMMC and sadly found that there is no saveenv command. I used Ctrl-c to interrupt the u-boot into command line mode. Checked the supported command by typing help and found no saveenv in the list save - save file to a filesystem setcurs - set cursor position within screen setenv - set environment variables showvar - print local hushshell variables size - determine a file's size source - run script from memory sysboot - command to get and boot from syslinux files sysmem_dump- Dump sysmem layout sysmem_search- Search a available sysmem region test - minimal test like /bin/sh tftp - download image via network using TFTP protocol tftpbootm- tftpbootm aosp/uImage/FIT image via network using TFTP protocol tftpflash- flash image via network using TFTP protocol tftpput - TFTP put command, for uploading files to a server true - do nothing, successfully ums - Use the UMS [USB Mass Storage] usb - USB sub-system usbboot - boot from USB device version - print monitor, compiler and linker version

Has anyone tried the latest version Jammy with legacy 4.19 kernel and edge with 5.16 kernel? I've tried the firmware on my 3566 BOX with dtb replaced with the dtb from the box. It is strange that the 5.16 kernel can't boot but the legacy kernel works very well. Here is the log of the boot. It blocks after "Failed to get pclk for 'rk_timer'" Is the same issue occurs on Station M2? Starting kernel ...

Thanks SteeMan, maybe the u-boot of my box is good for the booting firmware without u-boot.ext but just has issue on green screen. Anyway I found a u-boot.ext by hexdump which solved the problem.

wget https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/arm-64/deb/linux-headers-current-arm-64_20.10_arm64.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-current-arm-64_20.10_arm64.deb You can give this a try.

I just bought hk1box with S905x3 chip, 4G RAM and 64G EMMC. It's a great box running android 9.0 smoothly. It has TTL pads so it can be used to check system boot up log. I've tried to run armbian on it. The good news is that the latest version of balbes150 - Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0.img can boot up successfully. The bad news is that the screen is green. I've learned from forum that the issue is caused by Amlogic‘s modification of u-boot and need to have u-boot.ext to solve the problem. But no matter the version with the image file or the version from NicoD can not boot up. Both of them has the following prompt and then reboot automatically. [mmc_startup] mmc refix success [mmc_init] mmc init success Failed to mount ext2 filesystem... ** Unrecognized filesystem type ** Failed to mount ext2 filesystem... ** Unrecognized filesystem type ** movi: not registered partition name, logo Can someone tell me how to break into interactive mode after loading u-boot.ext? Or it will be great can help to explain the details of u-boot.ext behavior.
