Hi I am looking for a low power, fanless, solution for a Debian server with a single large 3.5" SATA drive. I don't want to boot from the SATA so I guess I'd buy an eMMC module as well. Currently I have an Orange Pi4 LTS with a weird expansion board and a generic Mini PCIe to SATA, but it isn't stable enough. Given that the Rock 5C has platinum support and works with the Penta SATA hat I'm wondering if it might be more reliable? thanks

Hi I am wondering if anyone has had any luck using a mini PCIe to SATA adapter with an Orange Pi 4 LTS to attach a SATA hardrive? If yes, which adapter did you use? I would like to throw the OPi 4 LTS and a hard drive in a box and make a mini fanless NAS box. thanks

I don't think that I did. I have an Orange Pi 4 LTS now (it arrived this morning). My first task is to get 6.1 working on it, after that I will have a go at compiling the 5621/5622 driver for 6.1.

Hi I have an RK3566 board with a Unisoc UWE5621DS wifi/BT chip on it. I have had a number of kernels running on this board (4.19.209 BSP, 6.0 mainline, 6.1-rc1 mainline) but the wifi is a problem. I noticed that there is an Orange Pi 5.17 kernel that includes a driver for UWE5622. I'm not sure how close 5621DS is to 5622 Also I think that this kernel is meant for the Orange Pi 4 which has an RK3399, whereas I have RK3566. Anyone any thoughts on what is most likely to work?
