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.

I just downloaded `Armbian_24.5.1_Rock-5c_noble_vendor_6.1.43.img.xz` and flashed it to tf card and my rock5c lite can boot with hdmi output, no issues.

@roykHi, I find just adding quotation marks to rockchip,plane-mask/rockchip,primary-plane/cursor-win-id will fix kodi. No need to toggle primary plane and cursor plane.
So this patch should work for rock5b: https://paste.armbian.com/exuhabuzim.diff

@roykYour overlay works. Maybe I have done something wrong by directly modify the devicetree. I will investigate it later.

lunar will soon be out of date. I will add support for the next LTS release.

A rebuild of vlc or mpv can use the new libavcodec60 package in ppa. I'm going to upload new packages to trigger rebuild.

@schwar3katI'm using kernel 5.10.160-rk35xx kernel now. And I can see wideviine is detected on website https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm by chromium.
From chrome://components/ I can see widevine is enabled.
I haven't tried kodi.

@MinhYou have to read docs from rockchip: https://gitlab.com/rk3588_linux/linux/bsp/docs/-/tree/linux-5.10-gen-rkr3.5/Linux/Multimedia
There should be a lot of guides in the internet world.

@Minh do you know what does `omxh264enc` mean? I recommend you to google it first.

@roykWell done! I've just uploaded a new version of ffmpeg to my ppa.

@royk @luizkun
take a look at this: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16103
 

@roykthat is not the drm format of hdr.

I think they are the same:

Thank you for resolving the dependency issues. Additionally, I was able to successfully display the stats overlay and the performance seems decent. You can refer to the link below for a quick demonstration. Unfortunately, I couldn't simultaneously record locally on the Orange Pi 5 and stream from the cloud, so I had to use an external camera to capture the stats overlay. I apologize for the poor video quality.

The average decoding times are slightly over 2ms, which is the best I've seen on these single board devices. However, there is still some room for improvement when compared to a decently powered PC. Please refer to the picture below for comparison. I plan to conduct further testing over the weekend with different resolutions and bitrates.  This current test was done at a  bitrate of 60Mbps with h.265.



We hope to offer more bounties in the near future to improve some of these metrics, if feasible.
 

There are missing dependencies, use this command to install those:
sudo apt install qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-layouts qml-module-qtquick-window2 qml-module-qtquick2
These deps are not detected by dh_shlibs. I will add them later.

@TaNGSoFT@gounthar Armbian has supported u-boot spi image since its initial support for rock5b. If you are using spi flash image from radxa wiki, you will failed to boot armbian because that is not a GPT image.  There are two ways to write the spi flash image from armbian to the spi nor flash:
1, Boot armbian from sdcard or emmc first, and use nand-sata-install to install the u-boot to spi flash.
2, You can download the u-boot deb file from the repo of armbian: https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/armbian/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-rock-5b-legacy/linux-u-boot-legacy-rock-5b_22.08.6_arm64.deb. Extrat it using `dpkg -x linux-u-boot-legacy-rock-5b_22.08.6_arm64.deb`, and find the spi image file `rkspi_loader.img`, and write it to spi flash referring to radxa's wiki: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/install/spi
Then use dd or ether to install armbian image to your NVME SSD.
