You don't have to justify yourself @NicoD, it was just in case this was possible for you. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I'll bump into someone else involved in Armbian, you never know who one could meet when in FOSDEM. 😉

Too bad, I would have loved to meet. @NicoDmaybe?

I'll be at the Jenkins booth mostly, but have planned to meet people from the Ampere community, from CoreBoot and CPU, from Pine64... Will there be anyone from Armbian?

Hello there 👋 Under Windows, does the Putty speed setting override the serial port speed setting? My COM3 is detected/set at 115200 which works fine with my NanoPi Duo2, but changing to 115000 for my NanoPi R5S does not work. Any idea? Thanks.

My bad.

Hi there 👋 I've tried the CSC edge images Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Nanopiduo2_lunar_edge_6.1.8.img and Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Nanopiduo2_sid_edge_6.1.8.img and the machine does not want to boot. Is there a more stable image somewhere? FriendlyCore boots on this board. Thanks.

Thanks @electrified. 🙏 I have the FriendlyCore finally working on this board from the eMMC. That will be enough for now, as I'm planning a demo at FOSDEM. I'll retry with Armbian when I come back.

I finally got friendlyCore running on this board, but no friendlyWrt works for me.

With Etcher, without any error showing. WHen I use what they call eflasher images, I can see the boards lights go on as described in the documentation.

Thanks for your answer. I have used quite a few images from FriendlyElec, then switched to various RK3568-linked images. I thought one needed to use this damn button to tell the board not to boot on the eMMC, but I may be wrong. 🤷‍♂️ rk3568-nanopi-r5s-debian-bullseye-6.1.2-arm64-ext4-2023-01-03-1010.img, rk3568-eflasher-friendlywrt-22.03-20230115.img, rk3568-sd-friendlywrt-22.03-20230115.img, Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Station-p2_sid_edge_6.2.0.img

The supplied Debian image boots and starts an X session, but my USB-C hub (with Ethernet) is not recognized (it works with the RISC-V Nezha build from @balbes150), and my WaveShare hat (with USB and Ethernet) neither. I'm kind of stuck, as I would like to add an existing WiFi network and get rid of all cables but the power. 🤷‍♂️

And it's a pain in the neck to get this thing to run, as often with RockChip board. At least you're not forced to shorcut two pads on the board to get it to accept the SDCard booting (there's a button), but that does not work for me. 🙄

Has anyone had any chance lately with getting this machine to run? I've tried different friendlyElec images, and of course unofficial Armbian images, but the machine does not seem to start whatever the distro may be (cycles with crazy HDMI resolution modes). The installation that is described on friendlyElect wiki does its thing with the LEDs, so I guess the installation goes fine, but afterwards, the board does not really start. It is visible on my router though but I can't connect via ssh nor see anything on the display (I know I should use UART2USB). 🤔

Finally bought the R5S version. 🤷‍♂️
