How do I do this? I burned the working image to a usb, took the boot folder from it, I then burned the linaro img to a usb, when I plug the usb into my system it doesn't get detected, I did get an error during the burning, something to do with the linaro img file not containing valid partitions, im trying to reproduce the error to paste it verbatim, i have been using Etcher to burn these usbs edit: the error

cool, thank you so much for the help

if im understanding this correctly, if I burn the images too a usb / sd card, load into linux I should be able to move the 4.4 kernel into the rootfs, then turn that into its own image that I can burn to the on board nand with multitool? please correct me if im not quite understanding

@fabiobassa Hate to be a bother, but how exactly do I use the rootfs that you provided? the same way with multitool or some other process?

this sounds all good to me, thanks

awesome, its alright if I cant use Lima specifically (and I did suspect panfrost wouldnt be of use to me, I was just grasping at straws for a while) but if I can the graphics chip work at all would be a huge step forward, thanks

@fabiobassa and @RaptorSDS the issue isnt due to the desktop environment or it not booting, My system works with the 4.4 legacy, it just doesn't use the Mali400 chip for graphics. I provided the image of what happens when I use anything other than the legacy kernal as extra context, that doesnt happen when I update or upgrade, when I set up a desktop environment myself it works fine. I will try @fabiobassa's rootfs just to see what its about, and if it some how allows me to used the Lima, panfrost, or built in Mali drivers I will stick with it, thanks!

@jock yes it is indeed NAND, I have also read through the first page a few times when I first came across it, (thanks for the Quick installation instructions on NAND btw) I do want to use the internal flash rather than an external sd card or usb, (just for the fun of it tbh as its not like this is a mission critical device), I assume this basically has me locked off to the lima or panfrost drivers then? is it possible to compile my own on the device itself?

@jock the reason im using an image with the legacy 4.4 kernel is that when I use anything other than those images I get the results of the picture I sent

Hi, im having some GPU driver issues - RK-3229 - 4.4.194-legacy-rk322x some info: The image I am using on my device is; Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_Rk322x-box_bullseye_legacy_4.4.194_minimal.img I chose this, as any of the other images from here; https://users.armbian.com/jock/rk322x/armbian/stable/ other than the xfce desktop image would lead to this happening: (if there's a fix for this I'd rather use one of the more up to date images) with the bullseye legacy minimal image set up on my device I then did this: yes | sudo apt update yes | sudo apt dist-upgrade yes | sudo apt --fix-missing yes | sudo apt install neofetch chromium xorg xfce4 lightdm sudo reboot heres the neofetch output if it helps with anything: user@rk322x-box:/lib/modules/4.4.194-legacy-rk322x/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip$ neofetch _,met$$$$$gg. user@rk322x-box ,g$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$P. --------------- ,g$$P" """Y$$.".

alright, thanks for letting me know

@SteeMan Yeah I have followed the thread, read through it a couple times due to confusing results, as well as having issues with using builds other than the legacy images I mentioned
