  1. I had same problem with RTL9210 based NVME enclosure. But I could not find one of them boot.cmd or boot.scr.

    So I did it old fashion way like on Raspbian OS and added usb-storage.quirks parameter into /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt and after reboot UAS driver was replaced with basic usb one.

     

    Note: I tried to edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt but it did not work. 

  2. I bought few Geobooks 1E  and all had regardless distro same issue. Random hangups immediately or few minutes after boot finished or after few days of run or hours.

     

    On Armbian distro after trying some other things I enabled kernel messages in sysctl.conf. And then I got something like, luckily immediately when login prompt appeared, :

    rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to dequeue 4088 skb Tx queue 5, .... when laptop stopped responding to keyboard immediately afterwards.

     

    After some research I found solution, plugged USB lan adapter, disabled wifi otherwise it would knocked system down a did these next steps to replace wifi driver and hopefully after reboot 4 of these laptops this driver seems to work better without hangups.


     

    nano /etc/modprobe.d/rtw88_8821ce.conf && update-initramfs -k all -u

    ADD NEXT LINES INTO OPENED FILE =>

    blacklist rtw88_8821ce
    options rtw88_core disable_lps_deep=y 
    options rtw88_pci disable_msi=y disable_aspm=y

     

     

    NEXT COMMANDS:
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install bc module-assistant build-essential dkms git -y
    cd /usr/src && git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce.git
    cd rtl8821ce
    sudo m-a prepare
    sudo ./dkms-install.sh
    sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/rtw88_8821ce.conf
    blacklist rtw88_8821ce

     

    note: it should work without "options" lines which I found elsewhere as solution to resolve this problem without driver update

     

     

  3. Hi, I just got 2 of these. Everything is fine but you need to order power adapter 12V 2A with 3.5mm x 1.35mm connector.

    Unfortunately due to earlier version of BIOS compare to same looking GeoBook 1E but with dualcore Celeron N4020 it cannot boot from microSD card.

    Speakers are rubbish but it could be good for some low powered machine projects.

    And one advice. Do not change "Quick boot" option in BIOS setting or it will not boot and you will need to unplug battery to reset BIOS.

     

    It work with both Windows 11 or Linux with no  extra drivers mods needed. 5Ghz wifi and bluetooth also included.

  4. Just tried latest Armbian 23.5 Jammy on 512MB version of Radxa Zero what about if it will start working (it has not worked on 512MB board yet) and unfortunately results are still same it will never pass u-boot booting process ending up restarting.
    Other system images produced by Radxa work fine, both debian or ubuntu versions, even they are using older systems.

     

    Boards with 1GB and 2GB RAM which I have run fine with Armbian.

    Doesn't boot with 3A images?

    If you mean Armbian Rock-3A images unfortunately these does not boot up. I tried few, downloaded from this site or compiled ones. Only green led was on and nothing on hdmi or serial terminal (except few broken letters).

     

    Hopefully Radxa latest images are working fine but you must avoid upgrading kernel and firmware. I tested these 2: rock-3c_debian_bullseye_cli.img.xz and rock-3c_debian_bullseye_kde.img.xz

    I got email explaining why firmware breaks, etc...

     

  6. Hi, I have got Rock-3C board recently. It is not Rockpi4 C.

    Main difference compared to Rock-3A is missing pci-e connector form back of the board, soldered wifi module and only 5V input power.

    There is no system available for this board.

     

    Any ideas how to get this board working?

  8. Hi, mate in your case it would be beneficial to get output from LCD screen or serial line. For the first option you need HDMI cable and a TV or computer screen, for the second one USB to TTL serial cable.

    Secondly I have run Banana Pi (the original one) and BananaPi Pro for years with Armbian distro, both Ubuntu or Debian and it is rock stable.

    You may need to change verbosity of boot process. Look for "How to toggle verbose boot?" in Armbian Documentation.

  9. Ou, great I found old script to download u-boot for my micro board. It does download, install and the u-boot version will be prevented (holded) from upgrades. So @Artenverho you are welcome to test this first before experimenting.

     

    #  linux-u-boot-micro-next=5.60 #
    apt remove linux-u-boot-micro-current -y; \
    cd /tmp && wget --no-check-certificate https://193.40.103.96/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-micro-next/linux-u-boot-next-micro_5.60_armhf.deb \
    && dpkg -i linux-u-boot-next-micro_5.60_armhf.deb && \
    for PACKAGE in linux-u-boot-micro-next; \
    do apt-mark hold $PACKAGE; aptitude hold $PACKAGE; done

  10. In my case on my Olimex micro when I run those commands it is output like this:

     

    aptitude search u-boot | grep micro
    p  linux-u-boot-micro-current - Uboot loader 2019.10
    ih linux-u-boot-micro-next - Uboot loader 2018.05

     

    apt-cache policy linux-u-boot-micro-next
    linux-u-boot-micro-next:
      Installed: 5.60
      Candidate: 5.60
      Version table:
     *** 5.60 100
            100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

     

    So there is the only one version available, but you can still experiment with "current" version of kernel and u-boot or you can try "current" u-boot on "next" kernel if you want experiment. For changing kernel version it is good to do it via armbian-config tool.

     

     

  11. Hi, you can display installed package via command:

    aptitude search u-boot | grep micro

     

    Then you can display version of selected package:

    (ending could be -current or -dev, select one from output of previous command starting with "i" - like "installed")

    apt-cache policy linux-u-boot-micro-next

     

    Then you can test different version of u-boot via command like this:

    apt-get install linux-u-boot-micro-next=5.90

     

    You testing u-boot, so always shutdown your device completely between tests and remove power cable from it.

     

  12. I found working u-boot for Lime2 running on Bionic, microsdcard and kernel 4.19.81
    It is:

    https://apt.armbian.com/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-lime2-next/linux-u-boot-next-lime2_5.38_armhf.deb

     

    I tried to retest u-boot for emmc board and it did not work. I did it differently than last time when I had an microsd inserted and after reinstalling of u-boot was whole microsd copied to mmc.

    In this test microsd was removed and booted from emmc. After few tries, reinstalls and reboots I found message from installer saying it wrote u-boot to /dev/mmclk0. Problem is this device does not exist. Emmc module is under /dev/mmcblk1.

    So I need to extract binary file from *.deb package and write it manually or return back to previous method.

  13. Test of Lime2

    Ubuntu Bionic with Armbian Linux 4.19.81-sunxi

    linux-u-boot-lime2-next=5.90 (latest) NOK

    linux-u-boot-lime2-next=5.85 NOK

    linux-u-boot-lime2-default=5.90 (latest) NOK

    linux-u-boot-lime2-default=5.85 NOK

    linux-u-boot-lime2-current=19.11.3 NOK

    linux-u-boot-lime2-emmc-next=5.31 NOK

    linux-u-boot-lime2-emmc-next=5.30 NOK

    linux-u-boot-lime2-emmc-next=5.25 NOK

    NOK - cannot finish reboot and reset of board is necessary

     

    Interesting results, I could not find for my setup where I am using root on nfs and custom image working u-boot.
    I will do more tests but with boot image on emmc and not on microsd like in this test.
    Note: the first test where linux-u-boot-lime2-emmc-next=5.30 I found working for my setup is boot image placed on emmc.

  14. I have had similar issues what somebody had on this forum but I cannot post reply because the topic is closed.
    But I found solution. You need to downgrade u-boot with following commands.


    For Olimex Micro:

    apt-get install linux-u-boot-next-micro=5.60

    Tested on ARMBIAN 5.60 stable Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS 4.19.84-sunxi

    For Olimex Lime2:

    apt-get install linux-u-boot-lime2-emmc-next=5.30

    Tested on Ubuntu Bionic with Armbian Linux 4.19.81-sunxi
