While searching the internet for information about the reboot problem, I found this information but I don't know if it is helpful for us?

Is anyone using Linux kernel-edge on an Orange Pi Zero v1? Are they kernel versions 6.14 or 6.16? Does that also cause the reboot problem?

For the Orange Pi Zero v1, it might be recommended to upgrade U-Boot to version v2025.4. I remember having similar problems with the Orange Pi Zero 3, and after the U-Boot update, the reboot works correctly and doesn't shut down the computer.

I see that the reported problem was raised in another topic:

Another phenomenon is also observed on the Orange Pi Zero v1. Issuing the reboot command causes the computer to not restart, requiring the power supply to be turned off and on again.

However, we're seeing a problem with kernel 6.12.x where the first time the computer is turned on, ArmBian doesn't always boot. Only after powering down and turning it back on does the Orange Pi Zero v1 start booting. This problem didn't occur previously on the same hardware, so perhaps updating U-Boot to version v2025.04 would solve the problem. We'd like to ask those who are also making changes to the Orange Pi Zero V1 to update U-Boot.

Thank you for the explanation

Hi I have use v25.8 rolling for Orange Pi Zero3 running Armbian Linux 6.12.35-current-sunxi64 and after run command dmesg I see information on screen So what can I do about it?

@Igor thank you for fixing overlay-prefix problem in current armbin-config now on OZPI V1 and V3 overlays in armbianEnv.txt are without prefix

SBC Orange Pi Zero V1 is still a popular SBC and is still sold on the market, among other things, because it has an integrated sound card and for this reason, a lot of hamradio operators still buy this model because it allows you to build very compact mobile hotspots without having to attach a USB sound card protruding outside the housing and that is why it is very popular and still sold despite the fact that versions V2 and V3 have been released, so it is not an SBC that has completely gone down in history.

Yes, I know about it, but my intention was whether it would be possible to also upgrade the SBC Orange Pi Zero V1 to the newer version of U-Boot

Since U-Boot v2025.04 works very well on Orange Pi Zero v3 and has a shorter boot process time, if there was a possibility to switch to U-Boot v2504 for Orange Pi Zero V1, I would be grateful, as would probably other users of this SBC Regards

Yes, I know about it and I did it right after the update was finished. Maybe it was an isolated case. I did armbin-install again and test 30 reboot again and each one correctly indicated 1Gb RAM 🙂

Thank you. I did an Armbian update where there is a new U-Boot v2025.04 and kernel 6.12.35 and on 10 reboots one after another, one time it showed the RAM size incorrectly instead of 1 GB it gave 2 GB. I see a definite improvement compared to u-boot v2024.xx

I realize that OZPI v3 is supported by the community, but I would like to ask if anyone has information whether u-boot for OZPI v3 will be in version 2025.04 and is the estimated date known? Will armbian-config be fixed for OZPI v3 etc. problem using overlay-prefix in device tree? https://github.com/armbian/configng/issues/592
