I'm sorry that the image I downloaed from https://www.armbian.com/armsom-sige7/ is running mainline kernel 6.12.1. I did not check the 6.1 vendor kernel. My board is at home and I don't remember the board version. I will test with 6.1 kernel again when I get home today. BTW what kind of NVME SSD you are using?

Fixed by upstream 131.0.6778.108-1~deb12u1: https://packages.debian.org/source/bookworm/chromium

BPi M7 is produced by armsom, and armsom is invested by BPi so there is a BPi logo on board.

I don't use my nvme disk as root partition, so I use fio to test the io performance: $ sudo fio --name=randwrite --ioengine=sync --rw=write --bs=4k --numjobs=1 --size=1G --runtime=1200s --time_based --directory=/mnt randwrite: (g=0): rw=write, bs=(R) 4096B-4096B, (W) 4096B-4096B, (T) 4096B-4096B, ioengine=sync, iodepth=1 fio-3.36 Starting 1 process Jobs: 1 (f=1): [W(1)][100.0%][eta 00m:00s] randwrite: (groupid=0, jobs=1): err= 0: pid=4208: Tue Dec 10 00:35:12 2024 write: IOPS=47.6k, BW=186MiB/s (195MB/s)(219GiB/1205176msec); 0 zone resets clat (nsec): min=875, max=3507.7M, avg=3209.46, stdev=612372.83 lat (nsec): min=1166, max=3507.7M, avg=3291.55, stdev=612373.49 clat percentiles (nsec): | 1.00th=[ 1464], 5.00th=[ 1752], 10.00th=[ 2040], 20.00th=[ 2040], | 30.00th=[ 2040], 40.00th=[ 2320], 50.00th=[ 2320], 60.00th=[ 2320], | 70.00th=[ 2320], 80.00th=[ 2320], 90.00th=[ 2640], 95.00th=[ 3504], | 99.00th=[ 5280], 99.50th=[ 5536], 99.90th=[ 9664], 99.95th=[53504], | 99.99th=[91648] bw ( KiB/s): min= 384, max=1467567, per=100.00%, avg=734206.83, stdev=482602.67, samples=626 iops : min= 96, max=366891, avg=183551.56, stdev=120650.66, samples=626 lat (nsec) : 1000=0.01% lat (usec) : 2=9.80%, 4=86.66%, 10=3.45%, 20=0.03%, 50=0.01% lat (usec) : 100=0.04%, 250=0.01%, 500=0.01%, 750=0.01%, 1000=0.01% lat (msec) : 2=0.01%, 4=0.01%, 10=0.01%, 20=0.01%, 50=0.01% lat (msec) : 100=0.01%, 250=0.01%, 500=0.01%, 750=0.01%, 1000=0.01% lat (msec) : 2000=0.01%, >=2000=0.01% cpu : usr=2.85%, sys=14.76%, ctx=193337, majf=0, minf=21 IO depths : 1=100.0%, 2=0.0%, 4=0.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, >=64=0.0% submit : 0=0.0%, 4=100.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, 64=0.0%, >=64=0.0% complete : 0=0.0%, 4=100.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, 64=0.0%, >=64=0.0% issued rwts: total=0,57409537,0,0 short=0,0,0,0 dropped=0,0,0,0 latency : target=0, window=0, percentile=100.00%, depth=1 Run status group 0 (all jobs): WRITE: bw=186MiB/s (195MB/s), 186MiB/s-186MiB/s (195MB/s-195MB/s), io=219GiB (235GB), run=1205176-1205176msec Disk stats (read/write): nvme0n1: ios=0/234874, sectors=0/457824096, merge=0/198, ticks=0/281679979, in_queue=281774755, util=92.39%

Just checked ubuntu noble image from https://www.armbian.com/armsom-sige7/, which has 6.1.84 kernel. nvme disk is detected. I did not do a stress test on it. Simple mounting partition, writing some data one it is fine.

Armbian is using zram to configure swap by default, so it has no swap partitrion in its image. I you want separate swap partition you have to install the system on your own, by rsync the whole system to parted NVME root patition, and write correct root partition UUID to /boot/armbianEnv.txt, and config swap in /etc/fstab.

I don't know why the man from kodi recommend opengl instead if opengles, it's arm platform, opengl won't work.

Hi, there is a simple way to install armbian to NVME SSD. 1, Boot armbian from sd card 2, Burn u-boot to emmc: You can find u-boot firmware at $ ls /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-*/ idbloader.img rkspi_loader.img u-boot.itb Use dd command to flash u-boot: dd if=./idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=64 conv=notrunc status=none dd if=./u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=16384 conv=notrunc status=none 3, Burn armbian image to NVME SSD, you can use dd in the armbian system on sd card with command: sudo dd if=./Armbian.img of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M status=progress or use application like balenaEtcher on windows to flash image to SSD. 4, Unplug sd card and plug NVME SSD, now you should be able to boot armbian system on NVME SSD.

@IgorRock5 ITX is using a sata bridge connected to pcie, so an overlay won't fix this. Sometimes PCIE interface used by the 4 port sata is not detected by 6.1 kernel.

What's the serial log when board is not booting? I never use armbian-config to switch kernel. I just use apt to install linux-dtb and linux-image packages and make sure apt runs fine.

4.3.1 moonlight is linked to ffmpeg 4.4, while new moonlight is linked to ffmpeg 6 because libavcode-dev in my ppa is updated to 6.0. Decoding time caculation is ffmpeg releated. I think moonlight can't distinguish decoding time and rendering time with new ffmpeg.

Decoding time is ok if there is no frame drop.

eMMC is also okay.
