Just checked in and am surprised this thread has gotten so much attention. Glad people have been able to use and modify the image as needed. Huge shoutout to @Nick A for all the support he's giving in here

Rockchip devices generally cannot be bricked. Short the maskrom pin i showed you and reflash. You can build the image from source or from here https://github.com/armbian/community/releases

You can use my git to build it

Yes it works by enabling the spi overlay in armbian-config Totally missed that at first.

hardware limitations. these things are not powerhouses.

Should have some time this week to dig in

what is happening when you install to EMMC?

no changes made, only thing i did was rename to v1-3 ill double check though and make sure nothing funky is going on. will compile tonight and see if i can replicate

glad it's working for you.

correct me if i'm wrong, but the point of a board level patch is so that it does not apply to all devices, no? that's the point of creating the board_x96q subdirectory instead of just adding the patches to the u-boot sunxi directory. You can see this when building armbian.

i just built a 5.1 image. Should work for you https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/releases/download/v24.8.0-trunk.425/Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q-v5-1_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img.xz https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/tree/X96Q-5.1-DDR3

haven't tried.

Update. I just got an X96Q 5.1 in today. Going to start working on an image for it.

Did you try my image that I linked you? Wifi should work

The image that @zra123 built may work for you if you're willing to try it and if he is willing to upload it
