  1. For others. You need GPU drivers for many recent emulators. So either wait for mainline support with panthor or use Armbian Jammy with AmazingFate his GPU and multimedia ppa's for RK3588. You can install tons of emulators with armbian-gaming. PPSSPP, Retropie, aethersx2, android emulation, box86/64 with wine for windows games... https://github.com/NicoD-SBC/armbian-gaming It is written for Jammy and should also work on Debian Sid. But with other distro versions not everything might work and I can't give support for it. Now waiting on Ubuntu 24.04 to see if the GPU problems will be fixed with official releas. Else I'll focus on Debian releases instead.
  2. I've not tried on those but I'm sure Armbian runs on it. I run Armbian on lower spec Intel SoC's and it runs well. Armbian is perfect for headless work. Everything is configured for it. For me the advantage is to have the same OS on all my devices. If anyone wants 32-bit OS then go for Debian. They still support 32-bit.
  3. That is a mainline (edge) image. Support for that isn't there yet. Use Vendor kernel if you want support. Mainline is a work in progress.
  4. The speed of an sd-card is very dependent on the device used to read it. Most cheap tv-boxes have 20MB/s max. Some can do 70MB/s. I've not seen any go higher than that. Highest I've seen on an SBC is 90MB/s. But the cards are theoretically able to do more. I just don't have a reader supporting it. An eMMC is normally about 150MB/s to 350MB/s. Even the small 16GB eMMC will be faster than the best 256GB sd card. Just do read write benchmarks on both and make up your own conclusions.
  5. Hi all. Here my review of the Orange Pi 5 Plus with Armbian Jammy. I show tips for better desktop experience, show how to build your own images, how to run games, and tons of info about the board. Here's the video : For those who rather read, here's my gathered data : https://docs.lane-fu.com/s/5IxGlf4gn Greetings, NicoD
  6. To my knowledge Armbian has no support for the NPU side of things. Only (some) vendor Khadas images have this with example code. It all doesn't work as I'd like to see it, no compatibility with known standards. In my opinion the NPU is kind of useless. And Khadas isn't a big help here. Maybe LibreComputers has better implementation for it...
  7. I know this is the same on other Rockchip devices. Not sure what the cause is. Might be interference. I use usb audio adapter or hdmi-audio on all my boards. Never the on-board audio jack because it was a problem long ago with other boards. Even RPi used to have terrible sound on audio jack if I remember well.
  8. It doesn't have pd, only 5V. I hope your powered hub didn't send anything higher. Try a 5V PSU instead.
  9. Seems it is. I created a bug report for this. Thank you all the valuable info.
  10. He needed to use Jammy and not bookworm. The desktop choice has nothing to do with it. The AmazingFate repo only works on Jammy. That is what JashuaRiek is using too.
  11. What display are you using? And bit weird that it would work from sd and not from eMMC. I tested on sd-card only. Can you try Jammy to see if it also has this behaviour?
  12. Now I can confirm the issue. I also have a Philips 4K monitor and nothing shows on it. I tried first with my 13" 1080p display. Weird problem. I wonder if it is the same with other SBCs like N2+ and if it's the display resolution or something with brand/type display? I'll see if I can find out more tomorrow.
  13. @Sander de LeeuwI'm unable to recreate this issue. It boots right into the desktop as it should. Tried "Armbian_23.8.1_Khadas-vim3_bookworm_current_6.1.50_cinnamon_desktop.oowow" Not sure what would cause this for you.
  14. That's a weird issue. I tested the latest images, but not sure if I tried an x11 desktop. I'll try the images you mentioned on my VIM3 and see what happens.
  15. Try Kodi and see if that works. I use MPV for most, but some files it doesn't play well. sudo apt install kodi
  16. I would advice to try with gnome (ubuntu-desktop) That uses wayland, so might give another result(better or not...). Also be sure to install the gpu and vpu drivers as mentioned on the download page(only Armbian Jammy)
  17. Dag Bas. You need to use Armbian Jammy to use these ppa's. Is it Jammy? Another thing you can do is use MonkaBlyat his images what already have the drivers and other packages installed. https://monka.systemonachip.net nicod-armbian-gaming image might be the latest.
  18. Both of you should leave logs. Is there any voltage on the ports? Might be dead ports. On my OPi5 a cap fell of when unpacking it. But all still works.
  19. update, upgrade, reboot, install headers.
  20. Hi Bas. Go ahead and post your solution. The latest images should have a few fixes but not sure if you'd notice it. Monka his old images had more preinstalled. Also nicod-armbian-gaming what official Armbian doesn't have. I also use the mini but in metal case. Works great for me. Using Monka his amazingfated gaming image. For GPU and VPU on official Armbian you need to do this. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia sudo apt update sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo apt install mali-g610-firmware rockchip-multimedia-config # In order to install additional packages with hardware acceleration support like chromium sudo apt install chromium-browser You can post in maintained Rockchip.
  21. Best to use a Linux system to read the sd-card after writing the image. Then open the sd-card and do what's mentioned. Then you can boot the image. For adding GPU and VPU drivers in Jammy. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia sudo apt update sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo apt install mali-g610-firmware rockchip-multimedia-config To write the image to eMMC use sudo armbian-install It can boot mainline but its not realy usable. Last time I checked HDMI wasn't working. It will take a few months to year for mainline to mature.
  22. Hi all. I made a new video on how to build Armbian images. These days you can use your ARM64 SBC to do this. For Windows users there's WSL2 you can use. Here my video about that. Greetings, NicoD
  23. Indeed not Armbian related at all. Tho, I might have the answer for you in an Armbian related video.
  24. What is the display it's default resolution? WIth displays other than 1080p/1440p/4k you can have problems. Example 1,366 × 768. Or with VGA to HDMI adapters there can be problems. Also I'd try another HDMI cable if using HDMI. What image are you using? For the plus you need to use these. https://xogium.performanceservers.nl/dl/orangepi5-plus/archive/ Debugging with UART would be helpful to see what's happening.
