Howdy Is anyone having issues with speed negotiation? My rock 5b running an unsupported kernel is selecting 10mb instead of the 2.5gbe the zyxel switch is capable of. Thanks

Howdy, Just wanted folks to know that debian bullseye is generally getting what I need done. Specially Welcome to Armbian 22.11.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.10.72-rockchip-rk3588 is working. It is working headless just fine. Now what is not working for me. The HDMI is not showing up at all. Between my KVM and ultra wide monitor it may not be an OS issue. SD-card boot is the way I am going. Manual partitioning of the NVME was needed to install. It felt like I needed to reboot a few times to get the NVME to boot. Overall it was a better experience than the experience on the Firefly station P2 competing with Station OS. Thanks for all the work.

Nope

Today was something new. No I still do not have it working. I was however able to get the M.2 Drive to appear in the boot menu. Replacing the /dev/mmc..... entries in /vendor/p2-station-update-uboo with /dev/nvme0n1 and then running it caused the M.2 drive to magically appear in the Station OS boot menu. The usefulness of this is unclear.

By pure accident, I discovered that Ctrl-Alt-F1 while the P2 is booting brings up more options on mine that allows the deletion of firmware and clearing of emmc. I have not done it but the menus are there.

Nope, I am a step before that. The nvme module is not being detected. I have not had time to try another image.

What do you mean by the nvme module must be prepared? Is there a reference? I tried modprobe nvme. The docs saying use nand-sata-install normally are a little vague for me as most of my experience comes from x86. Thanks.

Flashing the Jammy image onto a new SD card that did not have the legacy on it booted fine. nand-install-sata did not seem to recognize the nvme installed with a sata installed as well.

Thank you. This keeps me from rereading the other threads to see what I missed to get mine working.

@balbes150can you cite the post on how to get around it? I only see someone saying they did it.

I see in the other thread where tenbrox on March 9th cleared the SPI. looking through that thread, I do not see how to clear the SPI. Maybe I am reading too quickly. I have gone over it two or three times. Can you please give the post's date/time for how to clear the SPI in that thread? It also confuses me in the other thread that I am supposed to remove u-boot both from SPI and from EMMC according to your March 9th post.

So which option from nand-install-sata should I choose?

Ok I think I get it. Using the Legacy_4.19.193 I need to run the nand-install-sata utility to update the uboot in the SPI. Then I can switch to another image. read to me as I could use the Armbian 22.08 Jammy image to run the nand-install-sata utility and put the new uboot on the SPI. Another point of confusion was I had not seen the term SPI on my system until I ran the nand-install-sata on the legacy_4.19.193 image.

Perhaps there was some confusion earlier. I did install the new U-boot recommended on the armbian page for the Station P2. Operations worked as followed. Burned Armbian_21.11.0-trunk_Station-p2_hirsute_legacy_4.19.193.img.xz to SD card. Booted Station P2 from SD card, Answered Simple questions. Ran /vendor/p2-station-update-uboot as root. See a couple of dd operations. Run shutdown -h now. Remove SD card Place back in other machine. Flash Armbian_22.08.2_Station-p2_jammy_current_5.18.19.img.xz to sd card. Insert SD card into Station P2. Reboot Station P2 with Jammy SD card in slot. It start booting the SD card. Then I get the ALERT on the UUID with the same syntax as before. Armbian_21.11.0-trunk_Station-p2_hirsute_legacy_4.19.193.img.xzArmbian_21.11.0-trunk_Station-p2_hirsute_legacy_4.19.193.img.xz

The images that were a problem were Armbian 22.08 Jammy, Armbian 22.08 Jammy XFCE, and the Sept 26 Sid server. The process was download latest Firefly firmware. Download latest station OS. Download ubuntu from menu in station OS Install the new Uboot recommended on the Station P2 page burning with the recommended burner. Burn the image for the OS. Insert into Station. Boot from the SDcard. Wait a while. This would be easier if I could just upload an image. But an image is as follows. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b5LLRCYlNqURGzOabUD1C8sfhis05ukd/view?usp=sharing Also this should be able to be confirmed just looking at the image. The uuid's can be pulled from the image. Hopefully so can the root UUID.

Howdy With a p2 that already had ubuntu installed on the ssd using the firefly technique, it seemed time to upgrade using to armbian. Installing the new uboot went fine. It is not clear how to confirm it. The command did not error. However using the jammy 22.08 images, the uuid does not appear to be on the SD card. At this time I do not have a serial cable. However the image shows sum of the situation. Any help appreciated including advice on rj45 to serial cable. Thanks.
