@bhouseski I regularly boot directly from a usb connected SSD drive which is twice as fast as the SD card. First you have to put u-boot on the SPI flash. Find u-boot-sunxi-with-spl somewhere on the SD card you are running and flash it to SPI. The following is from the u-boot manual: Installing on SPI flash from Linux If the devicetree enables and describes the SPI flash device, you can access the SPI flash content from Linux, using the MTD utils: # apt-get install mtd-utils # mtdinfo # flashcp -v u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin /dev/mtdX You can then try to boot without an SD card installed. I had some difficulty in getting u-boot to consistently see the USB devices until I added a delay into the boot environment to allow time for the USB to connect. Stop the boot procedure and do the following. (The usb_pgood_delay variable did not exist on the opz3.) editenv usb_pgood_delay -> input a number, bigger than the existing (ms) (I used 5000, 5 sec) saveenv

@mantouboji Yes in testing for the Nov release I tested legacy, current and edge builds for the orangepione. Ambian-config managed the overlays properly. If you think there is a further problem with other builds you should document it thoroughly and submit a bug report. Would you also please remove the solution tag from your post of Oct 8. Telling someone to go fix it is not a solution for anything. Thankfully a number of people put in effort to determine that the root cause was in the build procedure and then corrected the procedure. That was the solution.

The official image works as it should. The edge image may in time be fixed when whoever is working on the changes finishes. It is called the "bleeding edge" for a reason. One can not expect all things to work properly with edge images.

Too many questions. Not enough answers.

I built a debian edge image and yes the overlays are not where they used to be. Armbian-config does not even have a hardware option to work on the overlays. I suspect that work on armbian-config is causing changes that have not yet been fully completed. If you need to use overlays, I suggest that you stick with the current releases where overlays still work through armbian-config.

I assume you have built an edge image with a 6.10.9 kernel. Is it debian or ubuntu? I will try to replicate such a build.

@SteeMan Unfortunately there is a statement on the downloads page that says sound is not working. This needs to be removed but I don't know how to do it.

@mc510 It confuses me too, but I can get sound out of the correct channels by unmuting only Left Output Mixer DACL and Right Output Mixer DACR. If you leave these muted and unmute Left Output Mixer DACR and Right Output Mixer DACL the channels are reversed. If you unmute all four you get left+right in both channels. I do not know what the LINEOUT muxs are for.

@TRay Try connecting to the serial port and watch the output while powering up without the SD card. This will tell you what boot options are available.

@going Cut the log file by taking out all the kernel build log entries. https://paste.armbian.com/ibamekatak

@ColorfulRhino No, it says "something went wrong" when I try to save. The files are over 2MB long.

@going I compiled with your test script for legacy orangepione. There was no image produced. The curl command to upload the log file did not work and uploading the log file to this message also failed. I did pull the attached patches section from the log file. Can I email the files to you directly? build_log_patches.txt

I did manage to build a minimal legacy image (24.8.0-trunk, sunxi-legacy:6.1.94) from the current Armbian build system and it gets stuck at the "Starting kernel" message. putty.txt

I just tried to build a legacy image for orangepione and it fails. I'll try again later. https://paste.armbian.com/ijiyegidak [🚸] Command failed, retrying in 15s [ apt_find_upstream_package_version_and_download_url base-files ] curl: (28) Operation timed out after 10306 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

@sakesm Thank you for testing and for the update. At least there are workarounds, although I really don't like things that do not work properly.
