I am using rk3588-sd-debian-bookworm-core-6.1-arm64-20250123.img.gz It is excellent asides from lacking NPU support. Before I go down the path of learning kernel compilation and scanning poorly documented Rockchip repositories, has anyone got a current version of Armbian that includes NPU support? If not, is there any good guide to using a cross-compile system and integrating third part drivers?. On a slightly different topic I would prefer to not use fuse file systems and run off the NVME drive directly. Are there any resources on this?

I've just got a shiny new NanoPC-T6 and can get it to sort of work using a Debian image provided by the Vendor. One issue is the HDMI output which seems to be quite unusual. I can only get one of my monitors to display an image (a 4K philips) . The usual 1920x1080 screens such as Acer 22" don't work. It also seems the Debian version can only run an overlay driver rather than native I already run a NanoPi M4V2 and a NanoPi R2S under Armbian and am very happy with them and armbian I'm happy to be a guinea pig for anyone wanting to get an armbian version running on the T6. I have some respectable machines that can do cross-compiles quite fast. I want to get the device to run fully native drivers and specifically have full control over the NPU cores for hard-core image applications.

I found this post to be very helpful https://forum.armbian.com/topic/7511-nanopi-m4/?do=findComment&comment=92709 The code works well. However, edit the low temperature to something under room temperature so you can check the fan starts. To check this Run the program in the compile directory before you install it as a service. Then put it the temperature back to some reasonable figure and install it as a service and enable the service. The new fancontrol is installed in /usr/bin/fancontrol I found another file /usr/sbin/fancontrol. That seems to be a shell script. It may be helpful to rename it to avoid interfering with the new fancontrol

I am searching for the cause of my m4v2 fan not running (and from the lack of dust it's possible it's never been running). I have the metal case and NVME adpator board. The fan is controlled by channel PWM1 in the NVME adaptor. I checked my fan connector and found 0V which I assume means it's running at 0% PWM or the mosfet has failed. I have attempted to use the code from https://cgomesu.com/blog/Nanopi-m4-mini-nas/#pwm-fan-controller and got That's as far as I have got. I imagine there is some process already in place to control that PWM pin? But I don't know how to identify it. There is of course the option to hard wire the fan into the 5V supply on the main I/O connector. This will run 24/7 at reduced speed, which by reports is very quiet but effective.
