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
