Hi! When I try to run overlays on Armbian 21.08.2 Focal, they do not seem to load, see attached screenshot below for the output during boot. It looks to me that fdt is not properly run or sth. root@rockpro64:/boot# cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 21.08.2 Focal" VERSION_ID="20.04" root@rockpro64:/boot# cat armbianEnv.txt verbosity=1 bootlogo=false overlay_prefix=rockchip rootdev=UUID=73fac48d-4f73-4ac1-b899-e67dc98b5794 rootfstype=ext4 overlays=pcie-gen2 spi-spidev extraargs=net.ifnames=0 isolcpus=4,5 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u Anyone seen this before and knows what the issue can be/how it can be solved? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I was also trying to do overclocking on the rockpro64, /boot/armbianEnv.txt now looks like: verbosity=1 bootlogo=false overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3399 rootdev=UUID=73fac48d-4f73-4ac1-b899-e67dc98b5794 rootfstype=ext4 overlays=opp-2ghz extraargs=net.ifnames=0 usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u I am using the file in /boot/dtb-5.10.43-rockchip64/rockchip/overlay/rockchip-rk3399-opp-2ghz.dtbo that was already there (I guess came with Armbian) But now I am getting this at boot (see screenshot), which seems like an error for "fdt", which I guess something goes wrong here in boot.scr: root@rockpro64:/boot# cat boot.cmd | grep fdt load ${devtype} ${devnum} ${fdt_addr_r} ${prefix}dtb/${fdtfile} fdt addr ${fdt_addr_r} fdt resize 65536 fdt apply ${load_addr} || setenv overlay_error "true" fdt apply ${load_addr} || setenv overlay_error "true" load ${devtype} ${devnum} ${fdt_addr_r} ${prefix}dtb/${fdtfile} booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r} Any idea? Does armbianEnv.txt need more parameters to pass to boot.scr? Thanks in advance!

Changed back to kernel 5.8.5, and changing the brightness like this just shows me a brighter black screen ;-) Issue remains the same, no output to the pinebook's screen, can login by typing my password in the black screen, see the login happening via ssh..

I downloaded Armbian_20.08.1_Pinebook-a64_focal_current_5.8.5_desktop.img and booted it from an sdcard, and seem to have the same issue: the armbian login window just briefly shows up, before the screen seems to go off. If you just blindly type into the black screen you can see in syslog via ssh that you still log on.. Indeed switching to 5.4.62 seems to be a temporary workaround; now the armbian login screen does not disappear, and things seems to work normally.. I have no clue what's going on here, indeed sth with the new kernel?-)

root@rockpro64:/etc# cat os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa)" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 20.08 Focal" VERSION_ID="20.04" root@rockpro64:/etc# uname -a Linux rockpro64 5.7.15-rockchip64 #20.08 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 17 00:26:28 CEST 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux root@rockpro64:/etc# ls -al /sys/class/hwmon/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 28 11:54 . drwxr-xr-x 76 root root 0 Aug 28 06:25 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 28 11:54 hwmon0 -> ../../devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 28 11:56 hwmon1 -> ../../devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1/hwmon1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 28 11:56 hwmon2 -> ../../devices/platform/ff3d0000.i2c/i2c-4/4-0022/power_supply/tcpm-source-psy-4-0022/hwmon2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 28 11:55 hwmon3 -> ../../devices/platform/pwm-fan/hwmon/hwmon3 sudo sh -c "echo "255" > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon3/pwm1" This works for me on above kernel.

That indeed solved it, thank you!

Hi! I just booted Armbian_20.08_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.7.15.img via sdcard , but HDMI output seems to stop after "Starting Kernel". Just after that I see some yellow/black vertical lines on my monitor and then the screen goes black, no more HDMI input on the monitor. Logging into Armbian on the RockPRO then works fine via ssh, can do the setup, update etc. So it looks like a problem with HDMI output? Anyone ideas how to solve this? Would like to have console terminal access via HDMI as last resort Thanks in advance! p.s. Just tried the Armbian_20.08_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.7.15_desktop which seems to have the same issue

I had the same or similar issue(missing taskbar, no icons on desktop just text, windows didn't appear) on (old) Pinebook, (Armbian_20.02.1_Pinebook-a64_bionic_current_5.4.20_desktop.img) Doing the above blacklist seems to work around it indeed, thank you!
