[Orange Pi CM4]

Hello @Igor

Yeah, I know that there is no simple way to achieve this.

Hopefully someone will support this board or providing a newer kernel image, but as more time pass, as more difficult it become.

Mhhh..... Image for OrangePi 3b works out of the box (and it's also possible to install to the eMMC), but it doesn't seem to support some features  (i.e. there are no devices like "/dev/video*", "/dev/rknpu", etc.).

Otherwise the images for BananaPI CM4 doesn't seem even to boot on OrangePI CM4: comparing both images, those are indeed different (i.e. "initrd.img", "vmlinuz", etc. are under "/boot" folder rather than in "/").

Dies anyone knows a simple way to burn BananaPI CM4 images (or another image) to OrangePI CM4 (to SD Card or better to eMMC)?

Hello,

I come across this topic as I got a couple of cheap OrangePI CM4 boards.

As per I can see, the board is not yet supported by Armbian, so I would like to ask what is the current best option. I have seen BananaPI CM4 was an option, but is this still valid?

Also, I have tried using the Ubuntu version (i.e. Ubuntu 22.04 with kernel 5.10.160) provided by OrangePI on mine and I have recompiled the kernel as below:

$ uname -a
Linux UBUNTU 6.6.0-rc5-rockchip-rk356x #1.0.6 SMP PREEMPT Sun Sep 14 06:35:06 UTC 2025 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

This works well, but it doesn't seem supporting the NPU (i.e. there is no device "/dev/rknpu").

So I was wondering if the BananaPI CM4 above is better from that point of view.
