This week's work centers on a comprehensive CI pipeline overhaul, expanded board and SoC support, and notable U-Boot and kernel modernization across Rockchip platforms. A substantial portion of the changes target CI infrastructure hardening in the new os-ci-test repository, including self-contained release handling, GHCR authentication via builtin tokens, watchdog-based auto-retry for stalled runs, proxy normalization, and sane build timeouts (60m packages, 30m/60m images). Related fixes in armbian/actions resolve datacenter runner proxy issues, while a rootfs change strips mmdebstrap's apt proxy from shipped images. Codeowners pruning of inactive maintainers and a Docker per-build image tag for parallel builds round out the developer-experience work. On the platform side, new board and SoC enablement continues with cix-p1 support, Orange Pi 4 Pro (Allwinner A733) community files, and Radxa Dragon Q6A audio, Chromium, and libbpf fixes. RK3506 and RK3506B are now split with proper ROCKUSB_BLOB handling, and Helios4 gains dual-PWM fan control on 6.18. Kernel configurations enable ATH9K_HTC, NFS client across all three kernels, and REALTEK_PHY_HWMON on rockchip64, while an RK3588 I2S MCLK regression is corrected. U-Boot modernization is broad: rk3308 boards (Rock Pi S, Rock S0) move from v2024.10 to v2026.07 with booti FDT fixes, Khadas VIM3 jumps to v2026.04, and VIM1/VIM2 receive khadas-uboot 0.17.3. The MediaTek Genio and NIO-12L platforms transition to pure mainline v7.1.y with loadaddr fixes for large kernels and initrds, and UEFI builds bump to v7.1 with Phytium dwmac rework. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #Rockchip #UBoot #CI Changes(#9400 P2b) Replace echo|pipe subshells with here-strings/parameter expansion. by @iav in armbian/build#9947Add AX210 firmware a0-72. by @ginkage in armbian/firmware#130Add cix-p1 support. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#9854add firmware for xiaomi-sheng. by @code002-2 in armbian/firmware#131boards: fix ayn child boards dropped from build matrix (inventory can't follow source). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10054ci(build-all): drop dispatch inputs, always run with fixed defaults. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#6ci(nightly): expose only branch + version override on dispatch. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#4ci(watchdog): manual trigger to re-run a run's failed jobs. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#15ci: blank ambient http(s)_proxy so the runner map is authoritative. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#18ci: bump build retry attempts 3 → 8. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#13ci: bump softprops/action-gh-release v2 -> v3 (Node 24). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#2ci: cosmetic — 'Build' job label, one-line matrix job name. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#12ci: create + read releases in this repo (self-contained test CI). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#1ci: DOCKER_SKIP_UPDATE=no (pull & rebuild image, safer). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#21ci: drop "(cronjob)" suffix from build workflow names. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#7ci: drop build retry attempts 8 -> 3. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#19ci: drop the version-only assets-for-download artifact. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#10ci: expose Framework build branch input on build-all. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#20ci: ghcr login with builtin GITHUB_TOKEN, mirroring armbian/os. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#9ci: label chunk jobs with hash-free matrix.name. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#17ci: probe apt proxy before exporting it (drop stale entries). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#16ci: push artifacts to org ghcr via ACCESS_TOKEN. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#5ci: push OCI artifacts to armbian/os via ACCESS_TOKEN. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#11ci: sane build timeouts (packages 60m, images 30m compute / 60m job). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#22ci: watchdog to auto-retry runner-stalled runs. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#14codeowners: drop inactive maintainers (>=365d) from PR pings. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10044Enable 1 GHz frequency for Panthor. by @ginkage in armbian/build#10067Enable 1 GHz frequency for Panthor on mainline. by @ginkage in armbian/build#10035family-rockchip: Split RK3506 / RK3506B.

Thanks for your input, I never really use gpio lib and i don't know if gpio over i2c is userland playable or there are reserved to the kernel. The fact on the schematic is VSYS_3V3_EXP is the first rail powering up because it's supply I2Cs bus and the GPIO over I2C to switch ON or reseting thing. VCC5V0_DEVICE_S0 For FAN & HDMI & USB & TYPE-C, USB HUB (Total: 3A) switch on by RK806S over I2C (PMIC_PWR_CTRL2) VSYS_3V3_EXP For CSI & DSI & RPi 40Pin (Total: 4A) <======== I2Cs GPIO (LTE RESET), Minipcie is supplied here! , switch on by RK3576 gpio (VSYS_3V3_EXP_EN) VCC3V3_PCIE For PCIE-M.2 (nvme), switch on by RK3576 gpio (PCIE_PWREN_H_GPIO0B5) The design flaw is here : you need I2C up to put LTE modem (already on by the same I2C power supply) in reset state before switch on USB PHY, then release LTE_RESET. Why they didn't put LTE modem supply, triggering a 3.3vcc mosfet from USB 5V rail ready signal after usb init like normal usb device, too easy?

My thinking is that with a standard example tool from libgpiod (gpioset) it should be possible to toggle a GPIO line. I see 'P05' that seems a pad number of the RK3576. I remember I had to dig deep in internet fora for something similar for BananaPi M1 to see what to put in armbianEnv.txt. Or NanoPi-NEO. The later I use with those example gpioset to toggle a GPIO to switch some own electronics on/off. You could also use lgpio (rpigpio successor or any other that can toggle pin states). Note that formally, you need to threat a GPIO line like a file, claim, open, close etc. After that state is undefined, but most SBC kernels keep the state, but formally undefined. See many many discussions on wiringpi etc. W.r.t. this combPHY: the RK3576/RK3588: those can act as several SerDes, it is sort of multiplexed, so cannot be all at the same time. But you need to look in schematics. I use the SATA<> PCIE2x1 swap (on E-key slot on ROCK5B and ROCK3A) but it very much depends on what firmware/bootloader and DTB(O) and kernel. For the ROCK3A for example, I still don't have it working according to I wish with mainline based U-Boot+kernel. Only vendor 6.1 and legacy U-Boot. I see on the SeeedStudio page: preloaded with Armbian, so this topics is a sort of test-case IMO: is that claim with mainline based or vendor/legacy Rockchip; I guess the latter, so maybe list versions of various system software. 'Forky' is not released, so a moving target or rolling release, others don't know what versions you use so not possible to reproduce the issue(s).

Maybe it's just relative to reset pin on the LTE modem, locking down all the shared USB BUS. On the dts, we can activate LTE_RESET : &i2c4 { status = "okay"; pinctrl-0 = <&i2c4m3_xfer>; gpio_xten: gpio_xten@21 { compatible = "nxp,pca9535"; reg = <0x21>; gpio-controller; #gpio-cells = <2>; interrupt-controller; gpio-line-names = "MIPI_DPHY_CSI0_IO1" ,"USB_USB30_PWREN_H", "USB_HOST_PWREN_H" ,"BRD_ID_WP", "LTE_RESET" ,"P05", "P06" ,"LoRaWan_sx1262_CS", "USER_LED_R" ,"USER_LED_B", "USER_LED_G" ,"P13", "P14" ,"P15", "P16" ,"P17"; gpio-line-offsets = <0>, <1>, <2>, <3>, <4>, <5>, <6>, <7>, <8>, <9>, <10>, <11>, <12>, <13>, <14>, <15>; }; On the LTE modem manual, reset is active when LTE_RESET is low, and pullup to vcc in normal operation. If LTE_RESET stay low with onboard modem connected, LTE modem may lock all USB ports. How can I define LTE_RESET to 1 at the boot?

Greetings - just investigating an issue with the opi-4a Armbian 26.8.0 minimal (edge 7.0.12) build - not getting past starting kernel. The board has a T527 - Hopefully this information is useful ? ### [Bug Report] Orange Pi 4A - Silent Hang at 'Starting kernel ...' (Trixie Minimal) **Board:** Orange Pi 4A (Allwinner A523/T527) **Image used:** Debian Trixie Minimal (Built via armbian-imager) **Installation Media:** SD Card (Class 10) **Log Type:** UART Serial Console Output (115200 baud) --- #### Description of Issue The recent community build of Debian Trixie Minimal for the Orange Pi 4A successfully clears the U-Boot / SPL stages, loads the Ramdisk and DTB from the SD card, but hangs completely silently immediately after hitting `Starting kernel ...`. The onboard status LED remains solid red with no flashing activity. #### The Technical Root Cause Looking closely at the UART initialization text, there appears to be a mismatch between the SoC detected by the low-level firmware and the Device Tree Blob (DTB) loaded by the Armbian boot script: 1. **Firmware/U-Boot Chip Detection:** TF-A and U-Boot explicitly identify the SoC as an **Allwinner A523**: ```text NOTICE: BL31: Detected Allwinner A523 SoC (1890) CPU: Allwinner A523 (SUN55I) ``` 2. **Script DTB Selection:** Immediately afterward, the automated script loads a **T527 DTB** profile: ```text Load fdt: /dtb/allwinner/sun55i-t527-orangepi-4a.dtb ``` Because the kernel tries to initialize the primary power rails and clock gates using a T527 map on an A523 layout, the CPU locks up silently at the execution handoff. --- #### Complete Boot Log (Up to the Hang) ```text U-Boot SPL 2026.01_armbian-2026.01-S127a-P60fe-Hc6a9-Vf757-Bd0d2-R448a (May 30 2026 - 05:53:33 +0000) DRAM: 2048 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 NOTICE: BL31: v2.13.0(debug):armbian NOTICE: BL31: Built : 05:52:43, May 30 2026 NOTICE: BL31: Detected Allwinner A523 SoC (1890) NOTICE: BL31: Found U-Boot DTB at 0xa0b8ac0, model: OrangePi 4A INFO: Configuring SPC Controller INFO: BL31: Platform setup done INFO: GICv3 without legacy support detected.

I tried different overlays, reduced max-frequency, set rx-(-tx)-bus-width and different mode settings indepently. Is it perhaps driven by gpio regulator instead of fixed 3v3? With a vcc-supply property one line (warning) goes away.

Hi, I have X88 Pro 13 hardware revision 1.7 and tested both Armbian releases v0.6 and v0.7 from the repository. Unfortunately, neither WiFi nor USB 3.0 are working. Hardware info: Device: X88 Pro 13 (Rev 1.7) WiFi chip: AIC8800 (device ID 0x6621, SDIO) Tested images: v0.6 and v0.7 What I tried: USB 3.0: DTB already has maximum-speed = "super-speed" configured USB 3.0 controller exists (Bus 002, 5000M) But only USB 2.0 PHY available (usb2-phy only, no usb3-phy) All USB devices connect to Bus 001/003 (480M) instead of Bus 002 USB Ethernet adapter limited to 100 Mbps Result: USB 3.0 not functional (no PHY in RK3528?) WiFi (AIC8800): Firmware present in /lib/firmware/aic8800/ Drivers load: aic8800_bsp_sdio, aic8800_fdrv_sdio SDIO device detected: mmc2:0001:1, device 0x6621 Error: aicbsp_platform_power_on fails with "fail to set AIC_WIFI power state to 1" No wlan0 interface appears Tried manual GPIO reset (GPIO1_6 = pin 38) - no effect WiFi (EA6621q/SKW drivers): Applied DTB patches from user 8lall0 (GPIO remapping for seekwcn_boot) Built ea6621q DKMS drivers successfully DTB patches verified correct: gpio_chip_en = GPIO1_6 Error: Kernel segmentation fault when loading/unloading SKW modules SDIO scan timeout: "wait scan card time out" Current status: ✅ Armbian boots successfully from SD card ✅ Ethernet via USB adapter works (100 Mbps) ❌ WiFi not working (power-on failure) ❌ USB 3.0 not working (no PHY available) Questions: Is Rev 1.7 supported? Are there different GPIO configurations needed? Does RK3528 actually have USB 3.0 PHY or only controller? Any suggestions for WiFi power issue with AIC8800? Thanks for any help!

This week's work centers on kernel and board enablement, CI infrastructure and caching, and user-facing tooling improvements across the imager and configuration utilities. On the kernel and board front, Rockchip edge moved to 7.1 and mainline was bumped to 7.1-rc7, while the Raspberry Pi 4B legacy target was re-enabled after a brief revert of the BCM2711 kernel bumps. New board support landed for BeagleBadge and TMDS64EVM (AM64x) on the TI platform, the Anbernic RG DS RK3568 handheld as CSC, and the Youyeetoo YY3588 received a mainline DTS rework with ES8388 audio routing. Several long-standing fixes were merged, including a meson64 GPIO can_sleep regression breaking 1-Wire, JMicron JMB582/JMB585 32-bit DMA forcing, and QRB2210 U-Boot load address corrections. A substantial CI and caching effort introduces a new git_cdn module providing a GitHub caching git+http proxy, an apt-cacher-ng configng module, and multi-arch Docker images for both. GitHub Actions runners now export per-runner apt, ghcr, ccache, and proxy environments from the NetBox registry, with added retry guards, SSH/rsync timeouts, and workspace ownership reconciliation between jobs. The rootfs builder now routes mmdebstrap through APT_PROXY_ADDR when configured. User-facing changes focus on the Armbian Imager and first-run experience. The imager gained marquee scrolling for long board names, a "Create new profile" shortcut, accurate progress-phase reporting, and surfaced flash write failures in place of blank error screens. The first-login flow now runs automatically on freshly-flashed boards, and armbian-firstrun uses atomic writes for armbianEnv.txt MAC randomization to prevent corruption. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux

This article describes how I successfully configured a PWM fan on an Orange Pi 5 Max running Armbian Debian Trixie Minimal vendor 6.1.115, using the opifancontrol utility. Special thanks to Jamie Sinclair for creating and sharing the opifancontrol project with the community. I have an Orange Pi 5 Max installed in a metal case and running several Docker containers, including Frigate, Immich, Samba, and others. The case originally came with a internal 30x30x10 mm fan, which was not able to provide sufficient cooling. Under load, CPU temperatures were reaching nearly 70°C. To improve cooling, I installed an external 40x40x10 mm PWM fan that was originally used on an Odroid HC4. The fan was mounted using screws, which required drilling holes in the case cover. I also added several ventilation holes, in the case cover above the CPU area to improve airflow. After these modifications, the CPU temperature now stays around 48°C. 1. Install wiringOP Follow the instructions from the wiringOP project: Download wiringOP $ apt-get update $ apt-get install -y git $ git clone https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/wiringOP.git Build wiringOP $ cd wiringOP $ ./build clean $ ./build Verify the installation: $ gpio readall This command should display the Orange Pi 5 Max GPIO pin map. 2. Configure GPIO Pin 7 as a PWM Output In Armbian, configure GPIO Pin 7 (PWM3_IR_M3) as a PWM output. $ sudo armbian-config Navigate to: System └─ Kernel └─ Overlays Select: rk3588-pwm3-m3 Press the space bar to enable it, save the configuration, and reboot the system. 3. Install opifancontrol: https://github.com/jamsinclair/opifancontrol $ su $ cd /usr/local/bin/ $ wget https://github.com/jamsinclair/opifancontrol/blob/main/opifancontrol.sh $ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/opifancontrol.sh $ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jamsinclair/opifancontrol/main/install.sh | bash Enable the service to start automatically at boot: $ systemctl enable opifancontrol.service Start the service: $ systemctl start opifancontrol.service Check the service status: $ systemctl status opifancontrol.service 4. PWM Fan Wiring I used a 5V, 4-wire, 4,000 RPM fan from an Odroid HC4. Connection details: Fan Wire Function GPIO Pin Red +5V Power Pin 4 Black GND Pin 6 Blue PWM Speed Control Pin 7 Yellow TACH (RPM Sensor) Not Connected 5. Adjust the Fan Control Configuration Edit the configuration file: $ sudo nano /etc/opifancontrol.conf My settings are: TEMP_LOW=45 FAN_LOW=60 TEMP_MED=60 FAN_MED=75 TEMP_HIGH=70 FAN_HIGH=100 RAMP_UP_DELAY_SECONDS=30 RAMP_DOWN_DELAY_SECONDS=60 After saving the configuration file, restart the service: $ sudo systemctl stop opifancontrol.service $ sudo systemctl start opifancontrol.service With these settings and the hardware modifications described above, my Orange Pi 5 Max now operates significantly cooler, maintaining temperatures around 48°C while running multiple Docker services

Great job I don't have time to replicate this, but I would like to see more photos, screenshots, and what you can do with so many SDRs It's perfect to use an older kernel, if you don't need anything from a newer Linux (for example more stable Wifi, and resistive LCDs with Wayland)... In your writeup, you could have included the dmesg or journalctl messages, just prior to the crash. Sometimes, there's a confict between a new or changed kernel module and the module you want to use, and it causes crashes, or not being able to start Linux. Then you deactivate the module that gives you the problem. Which services were disabled with sudo systemctl mask systemd-networkd-wait-online ? It sounds like you never want to start a network service automatically on boot. I hope that the SoapySDR developers can fix the root issue, so that you don't need to lock a library .SO like that I made a thread showing how to control GPIO with Python gpiod https://forum.armbian.com/topic/33800-orange-pi-zero-3-gpio/#findComment-181191 Instead of using Opi.GPIO, which relies of sysfs (deprecated, and you can't use it in newer Linux)

Been doing some RK3588 board porting and kept running into the same category of bug — dtc compiles clean, dtbs_check passes, but the board either panics on suspend or a peripheral silently fails to probe. Stuff like: Peripheral on the EE supply wired to something that only stays alive in the AO domain → suspend-resume panic Copy-pasted a GPIO bank with 32 pins, used pin 35 → kernel panic at driver probe SPI clock request exceeds PLL maximum → silent bus hang Two nodes sharing the same GIC SPI interrupt line None of these are schema violations — they require knowing the actual cross-domain constraints of the SoC, which dtc has no idea about. So I wrote a Python tool that builds an in-memory model of the power tree, clock tree, and pin assignments, then runs constraint rules against it: $ pip install soc-consistency $ socc check board.dts --soc rk3588 error[PD-001] Power domain crossing — i2c@fe2b0000 uses vcc_3v3 (EE domain) but is connected to vcc_1v8 (AO domain). Will panic on suspend. error[GP-003] GPIO index out of bounds — gpio1 pin 35 on a 32-pin bank. warn[CK-003] Clock rate mismatch — spi0 requests 50 MHz from pll_cpll (max 24 MHz). There's also a decompile command that runs dtc on a binary blob and annotates the output with peripheral names from the SoC database — useful when you're staring at a vendor DTB and have no idea which block is at which address: $ socc decompile vendor.dtb --soc rk3588 gpio0@fd8a0000 /* GPIO0 (32-pin, 3.3V) */ { cru@fd7c0000 /* CRU — Clock and Reset Unit */ { RK3588 has the most complete constraint coverage right now. The constraint format is a simple YAML file — happy to accept PRs for other SoCs. GitHub: https://github.com/gahingwoo/SoC-Consistency Docs/rules reference: in the README If you hit false positives on a real BSP DTS, open an issue — BSP files from vendors tend to have a lot of "intentional" violations that I'm still tuning the rules around.

Note: This is for Odroid m1s, not Odroid m1 - there just isn't a forum for the m1s (yet?) When I tried to start the board with the community image for the Odroid m1s on a SD card, it wouldn't boot. The connected screen (HDMI) would stay black and the blue heartbeat LED would stay on permanently. I tried building and flashing u-boot but that didn't help me. Here's what DID work: (Note: it worked for me. I can't guarantee that this fixes it for everyone, use at your own risk) I mounted the SD card on a Linux desktop and created backups of the boot scripts (just to be safe) sudo cp <mount_path>/armbi_root/boot/boot.cmd <mount_path>/armbi_root/boot/boot.cmd.bak sudo cp <mount_path>/armbi_root/boot/boot.scr <mount_path>/armbi_root/boot/boot.scr.bak Then I set the load address to 0x0c000000 sudo sed -i 's/setenv load_addr "0x9000000"/setenv load_addr "0x0c000000"/' <mount_path>/armbi_root/boot/boot.cmd Then I ran mkimage as follows: sudo /usr/bin/mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d <mount_path>/armbi_root/boot/boot.cmd <mount_path>/armbi_root/boot/boot.scr This fixed the booting, but just to be sure a future update wouldn't undo it I also wrote it to armbianEnv.txt echo "load_addr=0x0c000000" | sudo tee -a <mount_path>/armbi_root/boot/armbianEnv.txt And that's it! One more thing: I noticed that Ethernet did not work out of the box, so I did this: I attached a UART cable to log into the machine and created the following script, which patches the device tree. You might need to get a little creative if your only access would be through Ethernet, but you I'm sure you can figure something out. (Maybe create the necessary files while the SD card is still mounted on your PC) cat > /usr/local/sbin/patch-gmac-dtb.sh << 'EOF' #!/bin/bash DTB=/boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3566-odroid-m1s.dtb dtc -I dtb -O dts $DTB -o /tmp/m1s.dts 2>/dev/null # Only patch if not already applied if grep -q 'snps,reset-gpio' /tmp/m1s.dts; then echo "GMAC DTB patch already present, skipping" exit 0 fi sed -i '/phy-mode = "rgmii-id";/a \\t\tsnps,reset-gpio = <0x51 0x0f 0x01>;\n\t\tsnps,reset-active-low;\n\t\tsnps,reset-delays-us = <0x00 0x4e20 0x186a0>;' /tmp/m1s.dts sed -i '/reset-assert-us/d; /reset-deassert-us/d; /reset-gpios = <0x51/d' /tmp/m1s.dts dtc -I dts -O dtb /tmp/m1s.dts -o $DTB 2>/dev/null echo "GMAC DTB patch applied" EOF chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/patch-gmac-dtb.sh Execute the script and Ethernet should be working. (Might need a reboot, though). If this works, you should make sure this is applied after every kernel update, because it will get overwritten otherwise: # Run it automatically after kernel/dtb package updates cat > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-patch-gmac-dtb << 'EOF' DPkg::Post-Invoke {"if [ -f /usr/local/sbin/patch-gmac-dtb.sh ]; then /usr/local/sbin/patch-gmac-dtb.sh; fi"}; EOF

Hello community! I’ve been a lurker for a while and recently flashed the latest Armbian Jammy onto a spare NanoPi NEO I had lying around. I'm currently designing a headless DIY time-tracking kiosk for a small local workshop using an RC522 RFID reader via SPI. Reading the RFID tags and logging the raw Unix timestamps (punch-in/punch-out) to a local SQLite database was the easy part. Where I'm getting a bit stuck is the actual backend calculation logic. I need the system to accurately calculate the daily net working hours, which means automatically deducting mandatory statutory breaks (e.g., 30 mins after 6 hours of work) and tracking daily overtime. To ensure the math is strictly accurate and handles edge cases properly, I am trying to write a Python script that replicates the exact calculation logic used by standard tools like arbeitszeitrechnerprofi.de for the backend processing. Before I completely reinvent the wheel writing complex Python datetime scripts, has anyone here built a similar attendance or punch-clock project on Armbian? What’s the best way to handle this data processing locally? Would it be better to just use Node-RED for easier visual flow and logic management rather than a standalone Python daemon? Also, any tips on GPIO reliability for the RFID reader under the recent Armbian kernels would be highly appreciated. I plan to start wiring the prototype this weekend. Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to activate the UART9 overlay to enable an additional serial port. According to the Armbian documentation, I should create /boot/armbianEnv.txt and add overlays=uart9 to it. However, after multiple attempts, the serial boot log doesn't show any changes, as if the file isn't being read at all. Here's what I've tried so far: Created /boot/armbianEnv.txt with the following content: overlays=uart9 Tried different overlay_prefix settings (e.g., overlay_prefix=k1). Renamed the file to orangepiEnv.txt after seeing it referenced elsewhere. None of these changes seem to have any effect, the UART9 device doesn't appear in /dev/, and the boot log doesn't reflect the overlay being applied. Could someone point me in the right direction? What am I missing here? Once I get the UART9 overlay working, I'd also like to create a custom overlay to use a GPIO pin for PPS (Pulse Per Second) input. Any guidance on that would be greatly appreciated!

@Nick A Hi Nick, I'm using your image (Radxa-cubie-a7z-v0.6.4_trixie_vendor_6.6.98_xfce_desktop.img) on my Radxa Cubie A7Z, which I've DIY-modified to have 6GB of RAM. Micron D9XKK (MT53E1536M32D4DT-046 AAT:A) 6GB LPDDR4 chip. Unfortunately, it fails to boot. Here is the UART output below. Do you know how to fix this?

This week's work centers on release and CI infrastructure, board and U-Boot updates, and build framework hardening. On the release pipeline, asset manifest JSON is now emitted alongside uploads, third-party armbian-images.json sources are merged into the main download index, and dispatch chains were rewired so that build completion fans out cleanly to download-index regeneration and website sync. Ubuntu resolute (26.04) entered the daily build matrix, with corresponding prepare-host adjustments for its qemu-user packaging and a targeted blacklist for boards failing resolute plus GNOME. The new Armbian SDK images are now surfaced on the website and ship preloaded with the build framework, code-server, and developer tooling. On the platform side, U-Boot v2026.04 lands for Helios4, Rock-5B-Plus, Rock-5T, and NanoPi-M5 (with mainline UFS via a vendor-SPL hybrid), while new bleedingedge branches were introduced for rockchip64 and meson64. Initial support arrived for the Photonicat2 board, new RK3576 SPL and RK3588 DDR blobs were added, Panthor firmware expanded to cover additional Mali GPUs, and a PCIe LTSSM timeout fix improves cold-boot NVMe detection on Rockchip. NanoPC-T6 LTS Plus was renamed, panther-x2 moved from CSC to EOS, and odroidxu4-current advanced to 6.6.138. In the build framework, an unsafe eval was replaced with declare -g and namerefs, destructive commands were properly quoted, and Docker --privileged is now gated behind an explicit DOCKER_PRIVILEGED toggle. The desktop configuration tree migrated to the armbian-config module_desktops system, kernel build failures now propagate exit codes correctly, missing BOOT_FDT_FILE surfaces as an error alert, and SysRq-via-BREAK was restored on dw-apb-uart for mvebu-6.18 and rockchip64-7.0 kernels. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #UBoot #Rockchip #SBC #LinuxKernel Changes(#9400 P1b) Replace unsafe eval with declare -g

This week's work centers on release and CI infrastructure, board and U-Boot updates, and build framework hardening. On the release pipeline, asset manifest JSON is now emitted alongside uploads, third-party armbian-images.json sources are merged into the main download index, and dispatch chains were rewired so that build completion fans out cleanly to download-index regeneration and website sync. Ubuntu resolute (26.04) entered the daily build matrix, with corresponding prepare-host adjustments for its qemu-user packaging and a targeted blacklist for boards failing resolute plus GNOME. The new Armbian SDK images are now surfaced on the website and ship preloaded with the build framework, code-server, and developer tooling. On the platform side, U-Boot v2026.04 lands for Helios4, Rock-5B-Plus, Rock-5T, and NanoPi-M5 (with mainline UFS via a vendor-SPL hybrid), while new bleedingedge branches were introduced for rockchip64 and meson64. Initial support arrived for the Photonicat2 board, new RK3576 SPL and RK3588 DDR blobs were added, Panthor firmware expanded to cover additional Mali GPUs, and a PCIe LTSSM timeout fix improves cold-boot NVMe detection on Rockchip. NanoPC-T6 LTS Plus was renamed, panther-x2 moved from CSC to EOS, and odroidxu4-current advanced to 6.6.138. In the build framework, an unsafe eval was replaced with declare -g and namerefs, destructive commands were properly quoted, and Docker --privileged is now gated behind an explicit DOCKER_PRIVILEGED toggle. The desktop configuration tree migrated to the armbian-config module_desktops system, kernel build failures now propagate exit codes correctly, missing BOOT_FDT_FILE surfaces as an error alert, and SysRq-via-BREAK was restored on dw-apb-uart for mvebu-6.18 and rockchip64-7.0 kernels. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #UBoot #Rockchip #SBC #LinuxKernel Changes(#9400 P1b) Replace unsafe eval with declare -g

Quite a while ago I added GPIO names to the rock-3a. Perhaps you can get an idea how to do this. Source: https://docs.radxa.com/en/rock3/rock3a/hardware-design/hardware-interface#gpio-interface Implementation: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/7403/changes

hm... After some digging, it seems like one main problem, perhaps the only one, is the lack of gpio line naming. gpiolib is centered around the idea that lines are referenced using names rather than numbers. However, when listing the names they are all empty i. e. "". This makes it impossible to reference any line. This is obviously about boot/dtb. Moreover, while orangepi 5 successfully reuses the rockchip stuff, the actual names are board specific. I have never worked with the dtb/dts stuff. But assigning names to the connections should not be that complicated. Actually, names like "gpio0", "gpio1" etc reflecting physical lines should be fine. Any hint out there where to start?
