Hi,
I am trying out Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.592 nightly (trixie) on a Radxa Rock PI 4b+
The community supported image boots fine and it is no problem to install Armbian on the on-board eMMC flash, but the installed NVMe SSD on PCIi is no recognised. It looks like the whole PCIe bus is not initialised properly during boot. in the kernel log I see:
[ 0.062396] /pcie@f8000000: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /pcie@f8000000/interrupt-controller
[ 2.160749] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: host bridge /pcie@f8000000 ranges:
[ 2.160771] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: MEM 0x00fa000000..0x00fbdfffff -> 0x00fa000000
[ 2.160779] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: IO 0x00fbe00000..0x00fbefffff -> 0x00fbe00000

[ 2.870032] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: probe with driver rockchip-pcie failed with error -110
I have searched for quite a while now but could not really find a solution for this. It seems there have been similar problems reported regarding other SOCs using the same chip and I even see patches being proposed (not sure whether the PR has been merged) though at this moment I cannot really see any solution available to this yet.
Did anyone else encounter this and is there any fix or workaround for this?
I installed the Homeassistant OS image for this board (maintained here: https://github.com/citruz/haos-rockpi), which does not have this issue and allowed me to install and boot from the NVMe drive without any problem. Is anyone aware of the differences in the upstream linux kernel and the one that Armbian ships w.r.t. patches that could make a difference here?
regards,
Frederik
