@Hannes it looks like you have "held packages" - this tells apt that you do not want it to upgrade them.

Hi @porg, Yes, it should be fine to do it as @BrewNinja did - but you can also copy from another machine on your LAN. There are interactive questions - if it asks you if you want to update that file, tell it not to (which is the default anyway)

If anybody needs the steps for the older 5.10.110 kernel, I have those as well. They are a bit uglier - since the kernel source and header installation includes various garbage files , including binaries for non-arm64 platforms.

If you want to build out-of-tree kernel modules, you will need: kernel headers (installed with apt) kernel sources in /usr/src (cloned from git) kernel config (from /proc/config.gz) some preparation of the sources (but you can avoid building it 😉) # Install kernel headers apt install -y linux-headers-legacy-rk35xx # Install kernel source cd /usr/src git clone https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip.git ln -nsf linux-rockchip linux-5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx cd linux-rockchip git checkout rk-5.10-rkr6 # Prepare kernel source zcat /proc/config.gz >.config yes | make olddefconfig make prepare modules_prepare cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Module.symvers .

I used a cheap eMMC to SD adapter to write the armbian image directly the EMMC rather than an SD card. That's how I usually install armbian.

Step 1 - Install the Armbian PGP key and update your APT sources Install armbian.gpg to /usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg (mode 644) You can use a copy from another one of your SBCs, or... ... you can download and install like below (thanks @BrewNinja for the example) touch /usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg wget https://apt.armbian.com/armbian.key -O - | gpg --dearmor >/usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg Edit /etc/apt/sources.list Replace all instances of bullseye with bookworm Edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg] http://apt.armbian.com bookworm main bookworm-utils bookworm-desktop Edit any other files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as appropriate, to replace bullseye with bookworm Step 2 apt update Step 3 NOTE - WHEN RUNNING THE BELOW COMMANDS, DO NOT ACCEPT ANY INTERACTIVE PROMPTS FOR CHANGING /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf The default is not to accept the changes anyway - but I am noting this here to be extra careful I've checked - the changes may differ from what armbian has in the latest images apt upgrade --no-new-pkgs apt full-upgrade apt dist-upgrade

At least for legacy kernels, it possible to use Radxa's overlay for the 25W PoE hat. This should allow you to use the PWM fan on the PoE hat. #!/bin/bash # Install linux headers apt-get install -y linux-headers-legacy-rk35xx # Download and compile the device tree overlay h=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radxa/overlays/f2679399887b678dec62cb50cb44c767a2bcb293/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/overlays/rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe.dts cpp -nostdinc -I $h/include -I $h/arch -undef -x assembler-with-cpp rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe.dts | dtc -I dts -O dtb -o rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe.dtbo # Install device tree overlay mkdir -p /boot/overlay-user mv rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe.dtbo /boot/overlay-user echo 'user_overlays=rock-5b-radxa-25w-poe' >>/boot/armbianEnv.txt

For me, the following works: Foresee 64GB EMMC, 512GB NVME (no SD card) Running armbian-install, choosing Boot from SD + system on SATA/USB/NVME Rebooting Perhaps when you were resizing, repartitioning, etc., your boot volume, something got messed up?

I'm trying the same config at the moment, will let you know

Been using these 16GB ones from Ameridroid, and they've worked great on both my N2 and two XU4(s). On latest Armbian stable release.

@nathmo, I will take a look - I was considering trying out ZFS on my rockpro64(s).

Hey @cypherShrugged, I have not tried messing with the RAM timings on this thing yet - let me get back to you.

Hey @VanHelsing - I was just bringing this up in our dev channel (cc: @Igor). I run this: https://github.com/tuxd3v/ats And I was thinking it might be a useful add-on package for people here. - Without this script, the fan gets quite noisy. - With the script, the fan is PWN controlled, and I almost never hear it. What are other people here using for their RockPro64 fans?

@konki , @Dan Andresan - This seems to no longer be an issue in newer stable releases. My odroid xu4s have this line in /etc/default/armbian-motd: PRIMARY_INTERFACE="$(ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | grep -E "en|eth|wl" -m 1)" Let me know if you are still seeing this and I will take a look at getting the build updated.
