Another good thing : previously, the A20 CPU load never goes below 1 due to something wrong in the kernel. It's now corrected. I can confirm also it is corrected : I upgraded my ArchARM BananaPI and the HDMI is back as well.

I juste installed it, and it's pretty working 🥰 # wget https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/beta/pool/main/l/linux-6.12.35/linux-image-current-sunxi_25.8.0-trunk.346_armhf__6.12.35-S783c-Dbdda-Pf7b7-C34a1Hf8af-HK01ba-V014b-Ba566-R448a.deb # apt install ./linux-image-current-sunxi_25.8.0-trunk.346_armhf__6.12.35-S783c-Dbdda-Pf7b7-C34a1Hf8af-HK01ba-V014b-Ba566-R448a.deb My dashboard is back ! Trying to update my arch with the latest kernel ... ps: in addition, if someone knows how to disable cursor blinking on this HDMI, it would be fine (I already disabled getty on it, but the cursor remain).

Hi, I'm facing the same issue with my BananaPI-M1 running ARMbian and I have another one bPI-M1 running ArchARM which is suffering exactly for the same issue (bPI is not supposed to be supported but it working pretty well but this HDMI issue and the miss of AXP209 exposition). I'm a bit lost about the current status : is the upstream 6.15 (or upcoming 6.16) already patched/corrected ? @eselarm The link seems dead 🙂

Thanks, I'll pursue with the thread you mentioned.

Hello, One of my BananaPI is used to display a graphical dashboard. But after a system upgrade (apt update / apt upgrade), the HDMI output seems disabled after reboot : - the boot process is displayed, but it seems it's disabled as soon as the DRM driver is loaded. Any tips, help ? Thanks # uname -a Linux TdB 6.12.30-current-sunxi #1 SMP Thu May 22 12:29:54 UTC 2025 armv7l GNU/Linux # cat /etc/armbian-release # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BOARD=bananapi BOARD_NAME="Banana Pi" BOARDFAMILY=sun7i BUILD_REPOSITORY_URL=https://github.com/armbian/build BUILD_REPOSITORY_COMMIT=1a8daf0 VERSION=23.02.2 LINUXFAMILY=sunxi ARCH=arm IMAGE_TYPE=nightly BOARD_TYPE=conf INITRD_ARCH=arm KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=Image BRANCH=current

I didn't express myself clearly: I meant that I am "the advocate of more serious and supported solutions", I meant precisely ARMbian, as opposed to Arch where BananaPI and OrangePI are not officially supported. Sorry for the confusion. For OrangePI, I can see that nothing changed since their beginning, where they were starting their business by simply cloning LeMaker website and all the efforts the community did for the original BananaPI board 🤐

Thank you for your answers. This is a POC for a work-study student whose hardware is already available to test the ARM potential... "for free" (even if the time spent is obviously costly). For production, I advocate for more serious and supported hardware products and operating systems, but I'm not the decision-makers. I'm also personally interested in Arch/unsupported SBCs: understanding these flaws (a challenge for some, as you mentioned, due to Allwinner's support in general). On that note, I read an article some time ago stating that OrangePI is working with you to improve support. It was a fake or something already gone ?

Hello, If I compile the mainline kernel after a make -j2 Bananapi_defconfig Will I get a suitable kernel or am I obliged to use ARMbian build script ? The question behind is, I'm testing Arch on several (unsupported) SBCs at customers requests, and on the BananaPI-M1, the HDMI is not working, on the OrangePI PC2, both the network and eMMC don't work. Obviously, everything is perfectly working on my ARMbian boxes 😄 Thanks

I dreamt about that ... and then I saw the date this post was posted 🤩

Hello, I bought a card which has an SK6805 LED onboard (https://www.tindie.com/products/hallard/ethtinfo-tic-teleinfo-reader-for-ethernet-esp32/) and I'm wondering if there is a way to control it from my BananaPI IO-8 ? Thanks

Thanks for links. I'm not concerned by AR-305 as I have an HDMI attached (It's my home automation dashboard, images you can see on my Twitter profile). But i don't have a SATA disk on this machine. The only google hits I found about this issue is related to disk access : as the only one I have is the SD card, I'm a bit fearing about its duration. But nothing is clear about this particular kworker : what is its goal ?

Hello, I'm running Armbian on the original (LeMaker) A20 powered BananaPI : cat /etc/issue Armbian 21.08.6 Buster \l I did an apt-get upgrade few days back, and since, it's CPU load is always around 1.00 even if I don't run my custom application (obviously, it wasn't the case before). Nothing special in /var/logs/messages, but top show me a kernel process always on top : top - 15:03:43 up 1 day, 17:40, 1 user, load average: 0,98, 1,03, 1,12 Tasks: 112 total, 2 running, 110 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 4,5 us, 6,3 sy, 0,0 ni, 89,0 id, 0,0 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,2 si, 0,0 st MiB Mem : 993,9 total, 583,3 free, 119,7 used, 291,0 buff/cache MiB Swap: 497,0 total, 497,0 free, 0,0 used. 840,4 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 26647 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 10,3 0,0 1:44.71 kworker/1:0+events_freezable_power_ 32375 laurent 20 0 103912 51264 5472 S 10,3 5,0 1:20.54 Selene 3664 laurent 20 0 7588 2372 2016 R 0,7 0,2 0:01.23 top 14 root 20 0 0 0 0 I 0,3 0,0 2:55.81 rcu_sched 1927 root 20 0 1408 336 292 S 0,3 0,0 10:37.20 BananaLEDd 31455 root 20 0 0 0 0 I 0,3 0,0 0:00.26 kworker/1:3-mm_percpu_wq I did some googling but it doesn't help to find out what is this events_freezable_power_ In another hand, it doesn't explain this 1.00 load as you can see it consums only 10 to 15% of the CPU as well as my own custom application. So any tip, help, whatever is welcome. Thanks
