Dear community,
dear @Igor (as maintainer of NEO3 CSC),
 
thanks a lot for the NEO3 support. This board ran rock solid for me approx. two years straight – much more stable than my other SBCs running Armbian (due to various reasons, no offense :)).
 
However, the board failed to boot with "ERROR: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device Tree". It appears that ``rk3328-nanopi-neo3-rev02.dtb`` went missing. This must have happened when upgrading the package ``linux-dtb-current-rockchip64`` from 21.08.2 to 22.02.1.
 
As a workaround, it helps to (download the CSC image for the board again, get the file out of the image,) place the file in ``/boot`` and set ``fdtfile=../rk3328-nanopi-neo3-rev02.dtb`` in ``/boot/armbianEnv.txt``
 
I think it's a pity that support for this board broke, which works so well with Armbian. Any chance we can get the dtb back into the package?
 
Cheers,
 
Lukas

Meanwhile, I got a used device and I'll see how I setup the infrastructure for continuously maintaining the device.

@Igor
 
Can I donate either hardware, money or both to resume official Armbian support for NanoPi Neo3?  I use several of these little machines for a variety of purposes.  Thanks!

I manged to get the USB OTG headers working on the NEO3 by modifying the NanoPi R2S DTB that it is currently using.
 
2 changes were needed:
- Replaced all usb2 references to usb0
- Changed dr_mode for usb@ff580000 from otg to peripheral
 
Modified DTB file attached if anyone else wants to give this a try or has a need for OTG on the NEO3
