OK - with an FTDI converter I get "normal" (except national chars) output / input in minicom. Will use if board gets lost w/o HDMI video. (maybe trying to boot RT kernel?). Bit apt upgrade this time was OK (maybe because I froze kernel before?). Thanks @Werner.

@Igor@Werner You are partially right (about broken current kernel): - with ALL (OrangePi OS - Debian, Armbian 24.8.1 with kernel 6.1.x and with 6.10.x) I do see my SSD. - there is no support for LUKS in OrangePi OS, - with kernel 6.1.x and LUKS partition I got R: 370MB/S, W:410MB/s), - with 6.10.x and LUKS (same box, same SSD) I got: R:40MB/s W:38MB/s. - so an order of magnitude less. Module is SK Hynix BC901 NVMe SSD (DRAM-less) (rev 03). All tests with DD, 10GB file (dummy, from /dev/zero). So 1st problem was hardware, and 2nd kernel version.

On LUKS partition surprise: 420MB/s write, 350MB/s read. Hynix module is "DRAM-less". And it works with Armbian 24.8.1 with kernel 6.1.75 (testing now, will test also with 6.10.x kernel).

@ArmBoy1988 seems You were right: got SK Hynix module, now R/W is almost the same, 400MB/s (not so bad, remembering that OPi has PCIe Gen2). Will test also with encrypted partition.

OK, as soon as my new 2 32GB cards arrive, I will check that. Or even manually install.

@royk Didn't work for me. Used apt install "*.deb" then reboot and system hung after bootlogo.

OK, You suggest FTDI, will buy one. Now trying to "apt upgrade" on 28.8.1 with 6.1.75(43) kernel. Will describe what I did and results in other (mPCIe OrangePi5) thread.

Which video?

Tried this setting with PL2303 converter and I am getting garbage in minicom. Should I buy another (which chip based?)?

Have tried. legacy and vendor KERNEL of Bookworm. No output on lspci at all. BTW, how it is possible, that just few days ago I was able to download many images: root@laptop4 Orange_Pi]# ls -l ./Armbian_24.8.1_Orangepi5_bookworm_* -rw-r--r-- 1 laurent laurent 7667187712 10-07 22:43 ./Armbian_24.8.1_Orangepi5_bookworm_current_6.10. 6_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop.img -rw-r--r-- 1 laurent laurent 1503183524 10-07 22:43 ./Armbian_24.8.1_Orangepi5_bookworm_current_6.10. 6_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop.img.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 laurent laurent 505130612 10-07 22:26 ./Armbian_24.8.1_Orangepi5_bookworm_current_6.10. 6.img.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 laurent laurent 1415670776 10-06 22:24 ./Armbian_24.8.1_Orangepi5_bookworm_current_6.10. 6_xfce_desktop.img.xz ?

Ok, but how do I "transplant" (working) kernel from Orange OS to Armbian? Should I copy /boot directory and /lib/modules/<kernel version>? Is that enough? Or I need something else? (Other than freezing kernel?).

@Igor, I know, my (future) donations are intended for PROJECT, not question. Will try GitHub. Which kernel should work? (exact version 6.1.x) May I "transplant" it from "official" release (kernel, initrd, modules)? EDIT: tried GitHub payment, accepted card *VISA, it's OK

Hi Igor, nice to see You, "official" image uses 6.1.x kernel, but switching to 6.1.x kernel on Armbian got worse than 6.10.x (no lspci at all). BTW, could \You provide me (in PM) bank account number (as I don't want to give number AND e-mail to Paypal)?

Ok, what would be serial parameters? (speed, bits, parity, 115200. 8N1?)
