Thank a lot !

Hello, I hope you don't have any problem. Maybe me and my brother have defective or more unstable helios64 than you. Only thing I can say that Prahal share here the specifics files rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.XX.xx-L2-hs400-opp in this forum since two years ago my helios64 and my brother's helios64 work stable only with it. I back to 6.12.58 Kernel with rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp file and freeze firmware/kernel with armbian-config.

For information: First reboot and crash same that before use rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp. 😞 Back to 6.12.58, rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp and freeze to this setting Me and my brother have helios64 with 6.18.10 Kernel : RAID 10 / LVM / LUKS and crash always when "cryptsetup open..." start Crash when many I/O Crash when use Full CPUs With rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp and Kernel 6.12.58 or 6.12.(XX below): Me, never crash but I reboot often and power off often for personal choice. My brother have uptime upper than 100 or 200 days with problem, freeze or crash Bye

Hi everybody, I running Helios64 with kernel 6.12.58 since a long time and the prahal dtb file rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp and my helios64 work well. Today, Armbian upgrade to 6.18.10 kernel. Is this update use the same change or patch like in rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp ? Is rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp work with 6..18.10 kernel ? Is I must to downgrade to 6.12.58 kernel with rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp and freeze at this kernel version ? Thanks for answer.

Hi, In 2025, Helios64 is now stable for me and for my brother, who also uses it. The only thing to do is, just after installation or after any upgrade, you must reinstall the special file rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp because I think the specific tuning in this file is not included in the official image. For me, I suggest keeping it, using it, and saving your money for other things. Bye.

Hi, my feedback with rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp and agressif fancontrol setting like this: # Helios64 PWM Fan Control Configuration # Temp source : /dev/thermal-cpu INTERVAL=10 FCTEMPS=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/temp1_input /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/temp1_input MINTEMP=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=30 /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=30 MAXTEMP=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=50 /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=50 MINSTART=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=20 /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=20 MINSTOP=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=20 /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=20 MINPWM=20 is: All it's Okok Without the tunning file DTB and Fancontrol, the nighmare restart. Today, update, original DTB file restore and CRASH when Luks begin to unciffer my DDs Il restore DTB file and my fancontrol setting and: Return to Okok situation. To conclude, i use my helios without problem when this files is installed. My helios64 always crash if i return to original setting after a update.

Hi, my feedback for fancontrol service here : for 2.5Gbits, i don't use. for rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp, same has i writed up: "It is better to have a good solution in time than a perfect one too late.", my helios64 going to the trash without this workaround.

Hi, To my side, below work in root but not with systemd service: # Helios64 PWM Fan Control Configuration # Temp source : /dev/thermal-cpu #INTERVAL=10 INTERVAL=30 FCTEMPS=/dev/fan-p6/pwm1=/dev/thermal-cpu/temp1_input /dev/fan-p7/pwm1=/dev/thermal-cpu/temp1_input MINTEMP=/dev/fan-p6/pwm1=40 /dev/fan-p7/pwm1=40 MAXTEMP=/dev/fan-p6/pwm1=50 /dev/fan-p7/pwm1=50 MINSTART=/dev/fan-p6/pwm1=20 /dev/fan-p7/pwm1=20 MINSTOP=/dev/fan-p6/pwm1=20 /dev/fan-p7/pwm1=20 MINPWM=20 To my side, below work in root and with systemd service: # Helios64 PWM Fan Control Configuration # Temp source : /dev/thermal-cpu INTERVAL=10 FCTEMPS=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/temp1_input /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/temp1_input MINTEMP=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=40 /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=40 MAXTEMP=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=50 /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=50 MINSTART=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=20 /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=20 MINSTOP=/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1=20 /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1=20

For information, fancontrol, deamon or service systemd crash but work just with run fancontrol from shell in root. Seen to be a privileges problem like systemd log... i look this soon and post here my workaround

Hi, Today i upgrade to Armbian Trixie my Helios64 with upgrade from bookworn to trixie, not clean install All seen to be Okok only with use of rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp file inside of original rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb Only problems for moment are: - fancontrol not seen to work lm75 module... service crash... i will investigate soon if i have the time. - apt show warning with SHA1 checksum or anything i can't investigate for the moment

Hi, I continue to use file rk3399-kobol-helios64.dtb-6.12.xx-L2-hs400-opp on the last Helios64: v25.8.1 for Helios64 running Armbian Linux 6.12.42-current-rockchip64 Without this file, i have crash or problem with ciffer orperation (Luks and another program...) With this file, all it's Okok. Have a good day.

Hi, I agree with Snakekick, the voltage patch is for me the best thing for the helios64 run stable. Maybe it's not a perfect solution but: "It is better to have a good solution in time than a perfect one too late."

Hi, System work well with Kernel 6.12 and DTB patch, juste a problem with the service folow. Keep in touch. root@helios64:~# systemctl status helios64-heartbeat-led.service × helios64-heartbeat-led.service - Enable heartbeat & network activity led on Helios64 Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/helios64-heartbeat-led.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2025-01-16 20:26:24 CET; 34min ago Process: 2899 ExecStart=bash -c echo heartbeat | tee /sys/class/leds/helios64\:\:status/trigger (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 2899 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 20ms Jan 16 20:26:24 helios64 systemd[1]: Starting helios64-heartbeat-led.service - Enable heartbeat & network activity led on Helios64...

Hi, i build and pass to last armbian from source with 6.12 kernel to test dtb file with it. Keep in touch.

Hello @prahal, i agree with @snakekick , you dtb changes is ready to go to official sources. I use it from the beginning, my helios now work good and stop to crash. My brother use it and same result. Your dtb changes commit to official sources for the first january 2025 will be a perfect.
