Where can I find where to enable this patch? I am at the build menu trying to find what I need to change.

Your replies are super helpful and insightful, thanks for that. The good news: 1) The patch seems to "fix" the SBC board LED lights, they blink now as they usually do on FriendlyWRT and other builds. The bad news is that WAN (eth0) seems to not get an IP address and so it seems the motorcom driver still doesn't work. root@nanopi-r2c:~# lshw -class network *-network:0 DISABLED description: Ethernet interface physical id: 6 logical name: eth0 serial: e2:b2:e8:be:a9:e2 capabilities: ethernet physical configuration: broadcast=yes multicast=yes *-network:1 description: Ethernet interface physical id: 7 bus info: usb@5:1 logical name: lan0 serial: e2:b2:e8:be:a9:02 size: 10Mbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s capabilities: ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8152 driverversion=v1.12.12 duplex=half link=no multicast=yes port=MII speed=10Mbit/s root@nanopi-r2c:~# ifconfig eth0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out [ 919.972527] yzhang..read phyaddr=3, phyid=0000011a [ 919.975199] yt8521_config_init, 8521 init call out.

I have a feeling this is the .dts patch I need to convert to .dtb to possibly make this work but not sure how to do it. https://gitce.net/mirrors/lede/raw/commit/50d98983c2c26ea14dcc8bc02d0ee229fa1cdc80/target/linux/rockchip/patches-5.10/203-rockchip-rk3328-Add-support-for-FriendlyARM-NanoPi-R.patch Tried a few things dtc -I dts -O dtb -f rk3328-nanopi-r2c.dts -o rk3328-nanopi-r2c.dtb $ dtc -I dts -O dtb -f rk3328-nanopi-r2c.dts -o rk3328-nanopi-r2c.dtb Error: rk3328-nanopi-r2c.dts:11.1-9 syntax error FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree Seems to be due to: #include "rk3328-nanopi-r2s.dts" but rk3328-nanopi-r2s.dts exists and has data. maybe i converted DTB to DTS wrong when i tried to get the source from the same stuff thats inside /boot/dtb-5.15.25-rockchip64/rockchip

I tried this and while there is NIC led detection the interface 'eth0' is not coming up. [ 19.482535] yzhang..read phyaddr=3, phyid=0000011a [ 19.484279] yt8521_config_init, 8521 init call out.

I see another version(rk3328-nanopi-r2-rev20.dtb) but other than the name I don't know how to compare to make sure i don't try a .dtb that will for sure never boot. I did find this command shows me something but not sure what to look for dtc -I dtb -O dts rk3328-nanopi-r2-rev20.dtb

I'm happy to report that Bullseye (Feb 2022) OrangePi R1+ LTS works on nanopi R2C Plus. I was able to boot it and connect to the internet, switched to Nightly builds and its updating now.

Hi, thanks for this tip. I don't mind testing and sharing the results. I believe you mean to try the build from: https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-r1plus-lts/ I'm new to Armbian - where do I find the "nightly" builds you spoke of? I don't see any links for any packages recently updated. From the link above; those stable images were last updated February 27, 2022. Could you share how to get to unstable builds?

Could you please add support for NanoPi R2C Plus (https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_R2C_Plus#Install_OS). I tried the R2S image and it failed to boot; I believe due to network hardware being different on this board (using YT8521S)
