I just buy the orange pi 3b powered by the Rockchip RK3566. Is there any plan to support this new SBC.

I have done a firmware update on my Compulab Utilite Pro using u-boot compiled from source. However something went wrong, leaving me with a bricked board. In the manual it is mentioned, that the iMX6 has 2 boot-modes. The recovery-mode can be configured by switching some pin to a high-level. On the PCB I can not find any jumper, that allows me to do so. Question: Does anybody know how to switch the Compulab Utilite Pro to the recovery-mode? Thanks in advance

I am currently on Armbian 22.05.0-trunk with bleeding edge Linux 6.1.11-rockchip64 according to the main boot page in terminal I was in the process of converting an elegoo neptune 4 into a non-neptune version of klipper followed a guide that used a script was on the last step which was to do a system update...and upon reboot, I have no ethernet devices all I see is loopback what do I do to get my hardware ethernet interfaces back? this device does not have a removable SD card, but it does have a serial port... so everything must be done thru command line armbian monoitor.txt

Hi everyone, Very green here. Basically I setup 1 of my orange pi a few months back with "Armbian_23.02.3_Orangepizero2_jammy_legacy_4.9.318". I recently bought another pi and wanted to set it up with a newer version. I see bookworm is now the latest. I have tried both CLI and Minimal but whenever I flash those into my micro SD the orange pi never boots up. My router doesnt see the connection, so it cant hand off an IP. I thought maybe it was a bad mini SD or a bad pi. But when I flashed the old jammy image into the same SD, the pi immediately picked up the connection, my router gave it an IP and I was able to log in as a root to the pi. I read the documentation, and even saw the beginner videos to see that I wasnt doing something wrong. I had the SD connected before I powered on the PI, ensured I was the usb c for power. And that the SD has enough memory (8gb). Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening here with the bookworm armbian?

My orange Pi Zero 2W does not boot with all accessible images. Following error is displayed - [/ init]: getty is ttyl [/init]: RootDevice is "/dev/mtdblock4" , GPT_SUPPORT=1 [/ init]: Try to load Nor mount: mounting /dev/mtdbIock4 on /mnt failed: No such file or directory [/init]: Failed to mount /dev/mtdbIock4! / #_ Can any member provide me a path to fix this error and boot my Orange Pi Zero 2W?

Hello, my name is Wolfgang and I´m from Germany and hope you can maybe help me. First I have no knowledge related to the nano PIs. I bought an R2D2 from Deagostini. The R2 has a board which looks like an nano PI air. It´s called DRCC H3 V2.0. The R2 has different sounds and video seqeunces which can be played by R2. My quetsion is now do you think it´s possible to change or add sounds to the board? Thanks in advance Wolfgang

I am looking for some guidance on where to start reading on creating my own image for a RK3126, I have already grabbed a backup of the current eMMC image with rkflashtool (system, backup, kernel, boot, uboot, metadata etc.) I have mounted the system folder & grabbed the firmware out of there already as well & the firmware from https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkbin I am not asking for a step by step guide on this, I have intermediate skills concerning Linux. Been using it for 15 years, many Arch installs, completed LFS successfully once. I am just looking for a nudge in the right direction so I can get started on this. rkflashtool: info: rkflashtool v5.2 rkflashtool: info: Detected RK3126... rkflashtool: info: interface claimed rkflashtool: info: reading parameters at offset 0x00000000 rkflashtool: info: size: 0x0000053b FIRMWARE_VER:6.0.0 MACHINE_MODEL:rk312x MACHINE_ID:007 MANUFACTURER:RK30SDK MAGIC: 0x5041524B ATAG: 0x60000800 MACHINE: 312x CHECK_MASK: 0x80

I am working on support for the ClockworkPi Gameshell main board. I have patches for the kernel, but it seems that the build system applies kernel patches on a "per family" basis. Indeed, looking at the 'kernel-patch.sh' script it seems the BOARD and TARGET variables that would let board specific patches work are commented out. I've read through the example PR's in the docs, but don't see an example of how applying board specific patches should work. I fear that if I put the patches into the normal flow, it will get applied to other boards within the sunxi family and things may break for other boards. Should kernel patches be crafted in a way that they SHOULD be applied at the family level? Or should I expect to be able to apply a kernel package on the per board level? The patches I have come from the board maker and involve changing more than just creating dts files.

Hi is it possible to build only armbian system and use it with pre-built kernel and u-boot? I would try to use armbian in a custom board with kernel and bootloader I have already built in a local directory What should I pass to BUILD_ONLY to build only armbian system and how to set it together with my u-boot and image? Thanks Riccardo

Hi, I'm trying to generate an Armbian image for a custom board. I generated configuration files for card and family, with the necessary information for u-boot and kernel. I need to have separate boot partition in FAT and I added BOOTFS_TYPE="fat". Using the compile.sh in the Armbian "build" repo I get an image, but flashing it on the sdcard does not start uboot. In the boot partition I find not only the kernel and dtb, but also the u-boot scripts. How do you generate an image that contains everything correctly? Thanks in advance Riccardo

Is there anyway to backup your whole emmc to img and use it for flash.

Hi all, I am trying to bring up a new board that uses both Allwinner H616 emacs, the 1Gbps (emac0) and the 10/100Mbps w/internal phy (emac1). I brought in all patches found about that, but it looks like the emac1 does not work properly. It does not reset, this is what I found in the dmesg: [ 2.228695] dwmac-sun8i 5030000.ethernet: EMAC reset timeout As per the datasheet, the reg EMAC_BASIC_CTL1's LSB (SOFT_RST bit) is a bit that must set to 1 to reset, then automatically resets to 0 when the emac has finished the reset procedure. In my case, it remains 1 causing the kernel to unload emac1 driver. Anyone succeded in support the 10/100Mbps internal phy? Thanks in advance!

Hello. I am wondering if anyone here has Xenomai working for Amlogic platforms? I'm particularly interested in applying Xenomai to Le Potato/Sweat Potato. According to them, Xenomai is current and working for the Amlogic S905X3 (Odroid C4), though I have failed to find any source, patches, or images for that board. As far as I can tell, aside from some minor performance improvements here and there, the Odroid C4's SoC layout is very comparable to what the Potato boards have. So I only expect minor changes, if anything, to go from that SoC to the Potato's SoC. Xenomai's own guide to porting the dovetail interface is pretty good; I'll do that if I have too. I'm just not trying to reinvent 80% of the wheel if I don't have to either. Not trying to get out of doing work, just doing it twice would be silly. Constructive comments most appreciated! 😄 (FYI, I'm not new to GNU/Linux, the cli, gcc, make, compiling in general, etc. etc. In fact, I have had a build system for Armbian up and running for months now, and can build functional images with it. I've even marginally contributed to Armbian. TL;DR: I won't need much hand holding, just help over one or two obstacles.)

I started seeing this happen "now and then" a couple of months ago, but over the last month it has gone to "multiple times a day". It's not always the same mirror. Frequently it's the airframes.io mirrors, this morning it was lv.auroradev.org The pattern is usually like this: Err:1 https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt bookworm/main arm64 linux-libc-dev arm64 23.02.2 404 Not Found [IP: 23.186.113.5 443] E: Failed to fetch https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/apt/pool/main/l/linux-6.1.11-sunxi64/linux-libc-dev_23.02.2_arm64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 23.186.113.5 443] Is there a place to report these issues to get those mirrors fixed?

I was cleaning storage room of customer and found this device in sealed box. Owner of the box say it was rarely used and i can keep it. Only thing broken was the battery. I replaced it temporarily with unused smartphone one. The device boots and is almost new condition. SoC RK3066 = (ARM Cortex-A9 Dual-Core @ 1.6Ghz + ARM Mali400MP4) RAM 1GB = (Four Chips on image are Hynix [H5TQ2G83CFR-H9C] -2gb) Storage 16GB = (Toshiba TH58TEG7DCJTA20 - Nand Flash MLC 16GB) Uart RX/TX pads on board I make this topic as i want to ask more experienced people here if this SoC can run "some" version of Armbian. Thank you in advance

I have a unique hardware setup with an ARMv8 architecture but a 32-bit 'armeabi-v7a' ABI. My goal is to install a 64-bit operating Ambian (or others, even a 64 bit Android Go if possible) system on this hardware, replacing the existing 32-bit setup. The device is a kids tablet ZIDS701 by Trayoo. The current OS is Android Go 10 32-bit. I'm kind of a newbie to firmware, so I'm reaching out to the knowledgeable members of this community for guidance and assistance in achieving this. I'm particularly interested in recommendations for a 64-bit OS that would be compatible with this setup and any steps or considerations I should be aware of during the installation process. Much appreciated thank you.

Armbian 22.05.0-trunk with bleeding edge Linux 5.16.20-rockchip64 my armbian runs on a MKS SKIPR motherboard for a 3d printer. Since I updated the system, I can no longer change any files. I change it but after a restart the file is back as it was.since i have updated the system for example this file nano /etc/resolv.conf After saving and restarting everything is as it was. no matter whether as root or user Is there a setting that prevents or reverses changes?

I don't know if this is the right subforum for this question. Would Armbian be possible for the PineTab2?

I'm trying to get the armbian x86-64 generic image to run in virtualbox. I can successfully convert the *.img file to qcow2 and qemu will run it just fine. However, virtualbox fails to boot it in any format (qcow2, vmdk, vhd, vdi, etc). The grub menu comes up, but when trying to boot Linux then it just sits at a blinking cursor. I've tried converting this a variety of ways, such as using `qemu-img convert`, `vboxmanage convertfromraw` and `vboxmanage convertdd`. None of them yield an image that virtualbox will boot. Has anybody else had success with this, and/or know how to fix it? Thanks.
