Okay, didn't bother checking beforehand

I think this patch can also be backported to 6.18.y in Armbian if @rpardini didn't plan to do anyway.

You are community. Contact yourself As there is no maintainer for this board everyone and nobody the same time is responsible for it. If nobody cares, functionality will fall apart over time.

The userspace is behind, that's not an issue. Hardware support is a kernel thing. If its not there an up-to-date userspace like Forky or Sid means nothing.

Alright, partial success rfkill. Hm perhaps wifi trouble?

Alright, found something. @Meestor_X please try this one: https://testing.armbian.de/Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Radxa-cubie-a5e_trixie_edge_6.18.2_minimal.img.xz

I usually just re-plug the sdcard back into my laptop, the fs mounts automatically for me. Using Linux though, no clue about MacOS.

Please set verbosity to 7 in armbianenv.txt to get a clue about what happens after "starting kernel..." data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Interesting. While this isn't an actual issue since the correct dt was loaded nevertheless it seems like BOOT FDT FILE Is set wrong

moved to tvboxes

For once as stated don't use Balena. use Armbian imager or usbimager For the other write the image anyway as it is, try to boot and grab serial logs if there is an actual issue or not.

No logs - no issue.

Hm I briefly remember there was an optional overlay to raise voltage to 1.3 volts..but I don't know why it should be now standard. Did not do any investigation though

npu is there in both vendor bsp kernel 6.1.y. There is no node exposed afaik. Everthing beyond like libraries to use npu is userspace and out of scope of Armbian. edge 6.18.y also has reverse-engineered npu support with a driver called Rocket.

Are you sure you don't mean BSP which stands for Board Support Package??

Have you tried to reach out to the manufactur? https://www.mouser.at/datasheet/3/2627/1/MYD-LT527-SX.pdf Website: en.myir.cn Email: sales@myir.cn Tel: +86-755-22984836

Without schematics, deep knowledgde and a lot of time to waste, this task is probably close to impossible. Only chance I see here is for once assuming the vendor is lazy and the implementation is as close to reference design as it can get. And for the other that there is some android device tree which can be reverse-engineered.

That would be a good start indeed.

Didn't warn ffmpeg from a guts feel years ago that they will issue a takedown if no action is taken? So I'm not surprised. Kind of.

I don't have this hardware. However the last merged PR messing with code for this board/SoC was tested by Igor and he stated it boots just fine.

Interesting question. The dxf says the part in question is labeled ED1 besides CP18 and CP14. I found both CP18 and 14 in the schematics but ED1 not. Either mislabeled or I didn't catch it. https://x.na4.eu/KOTu3/quzevoji80.jpg OrangePi-Schematic of ZERO3.pdf

Balenaetcher is known to cause trouble. Use USBimager or Armbian imager https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/
