Not all possible kernel-userspace combinations are built and/or exposed. If you cannot find what you are looking for, DIY: https://github.com/armbian/build/

Don't use etcher. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#flash-to-sd-card

current isn't a good option for rk3588/s devices. At this point of time barely any support for this SoC was mainlined. And it seems like later revisions introduced a regression causing a crash. Since 6.18 may become next LTS kernel it will replace current current kernel at some point. So better go for an edge based image instead.

orangepi5 and 6 have nothing in common. double-check what you are actually talking about. Also there is no 0.9.9 rknpu stuff. 5.10 bsp has been abandoned long ago.

not recommended for rockchip socs since it cannot handle the rather high baud rate of 1.5Mbaud. Use FT232, CH340 or CP2104 instead.

You should check uboot logs if the dtbo is loaded correctly. You can get those using a debug serial console. If you don't know what that is or how to connect: https://debug.armbian.de

Armbian does not have a config for this board nor is it supported in some way.

That's an interesting question. The chip itself seems to communiate via spi or i2c. Since USB cannot do that they put a raspberry microcontroller (RP2040) on it to handle this. The communication then uses a simple serial connection with the ch341 chip. I assume the klipper thingies can handle this by themselves automatically while when connecting this to a different device, you have to come up with some way to communicate with this board.

Which of these boards are you refering to? https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/config/boards

The rk3588 soc has a fixed boot order which is spi, emmc, microsd, other I think. So if there is a boot loader found on spi it will ignore other options and try to boot from that. While Armbian uboot binaries on spi are instructed to check if there is a microsd card inserted and boot from that, vendors can (ab)use this circumstance to make it harder for other operation systems being used because tools like rkdevtool are necessary to get rid of it. If the spi is pre-flashed with crap, I guess that's why the step is necessary.

If you have patience, CEC may work at some point with mainline kernel. There is not fast solution.

didn't even realize you were on beta repo. Well when you use bleeding edge, you have to be prepared for breakage since it is expected ;).

I'm not sure bit IIRC there should be a 1 second delay which would allow interaction but again, not sure...

We don't deal with android. I suggest to ask at xda developer forums or similar.

Just a wild guess: The code from orangepi wiringpi is old and no longer compatible with newer python which is shipped in Trixie.

No clue

Nothing strange there. The wireguard package comes from trixie which has dependency to debian's own kernel packages. The package cannot know that there is wireguard kernel-wise already in place or even know about Armbian kernel packages. So this is kind of expected. However I think at some point Armbian kernel packages included a apt information that it provides wireguard. Not sure about the status there.

merged. forum tag added.

There is no need to install "wireguard" as all Armbian images come with this kernel module by default. All you need is the userspace tools (if not installed already) from "wireguard-tools". If necessary try installing with "--no-install-recommends".

Different soc and even different soc family. This most likely will not work on h618.
