What? Sharing various gaming experiences with RK3588 (Orange Pi 5) on Armbian. Why? Because RK3588 is a capable gaming chipset, Armbian is a good OS; Vulkan on RK3588 is getting better over time (PanVk) How? Posting your gaming results here (preferably with setup and screenshots/videos) so people can learn more.

I updated to Armbian 26.2.1 on OPi5, and it can't boot from MTD (rootfs at NVMe), and I have to use SD card to boot to NVMe as workaround. After looking into this issue, I found rkspi_loader.img is no longer available for current (6.18.8 kernel) u-boot pkg and armbian-config flashes u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin ( or similar sata version) to /dev/mtdblock0 and I think this is wrong image for MTD bootloader. If I use older vendor image, which u-boot pkg has rkspi_loader.img, system can boot to NVMe rootfs and I notice that /dev/mtdblock0 has several gpt partitions including u-boot one, and flashing u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin erases partitions in SPI flash. I noticed that several related changes were introduced since 25.11, such as https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/e5b845f9432abb0408287599bba5889a86e6d068 , but I couldn't do quick fix to bring back working rkspi_loader.img because I am not familiar with whole armbian build. One thing to note that if board was flashed with old rkspi_loader.img and not updated with 26.2 MTD image, it still boots to NVMe rootfs, but I have other issues such as video playback not working with 6.18 kernel likely due to mismatch u-boot and kernel version leading to wrong HW initialization. BTW, I checked 26.2 u-boot pkg for Rock 5B (similar rk3588 board), and rkspi_loader.img is still included.

Hello everyone Just would like to start a discussion about the current state of video acceleration (decoding only, h.265/h.264/av1). The soc (rk3588) recently got mainline support for these features in 7.0: https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md Has anyone tested this on a OPI5 already, especially using Kodi? Does this work ootb there now? Regards, XXXBold

My first post here - I'm new to SBCs and stoked I got my home webserver up and running on a Orange Pi 5 which boots from an NVMe (pats-self-on-back : -) It runs great, pages are up, and it's all SO COOL, but it fails to do a restart... I can do a shutdown -h now, count to three and power it back up and all is well, but if I do a shutdown -r now it will go down, start back up, all the way to the login prompt but then barfs a long Oops message. God please... don't make me start over !

I tried installing the OS using SD card and EMMC, but both failed. Orange Pi OS (Arch) on the official website ran normally. However, I installed focal_desktop_xfce or jammy_desktop_gnome from Ubuntu Image, but they all failed. After inserting the image into the SD card, the symptom is a black screen and no booting. Does it only support SSD? Because it is entered through a translator, there may be unnatural sentences. If you reply about that, I will get back to you.

I originally posted this on reddit after seeing a lot of posts trying to use a SATA M.2 SSD and saying it wouldn't boot with replies telling them to go buy a NVME M.2 SSD which isn't necessary when the board does support SATA M.2 with flashing the correct bootloader. This guide has 3 different sections, 1 being booting with Orange pi OS and 2 being with Armbian OS Orange Pi OS Instructions Download Orange Pi OS Ubuntu or Debian from their website http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/service-and-support/Orange-pi-5.html unzip the 7z file to get the .img file and flash it to your sd card with your preferred flasher i.e balenaetcher. Once flashed put it into orange pi 5 and boot from sd card first once booted, the rest will be done in a terminal. go ahead and do your usual update sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade -y 3. then make sure to wipe your SPI of any previous bootloader (give it time to complete, you'll know it's done when you get your cursor back in terminal) sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=1M count=1 4. Write sata bootloader to SPI sudo dd if=/usr/share/orangepi5/rkspi_loader_sata.img of=/dev/mtdblock0 && sudo sync 5. Edit boot file on sd card to recognize sata by adding overlays line to the bottom, save then reboot sudo nano /boot/orangepiEnv.txt overlays=ssd-sata sudo reboot 6. On reboot you will still boot into SD card but now you should see "sda" (your sata SSD) show up on your list of devices when typing: lsblk 7. Put the same Orange Pi OS image you used in step 1 in any directory on your orange pi making sure it is unzipped and is in .img format. I just used the web browser in orange pi os to redownload from the website which for me put it in directory /home/orangepi/Downloads 8. Flash your downloaded .img to your sata ssd with this command (substitute with your directory to .img) sudo dd bs=1M if=/path/your/orangepi.img of=/dev/sda status=progress && sudo sync 9. Mount your ssd so you can edit the ssd’s boot file to support sata and reboot sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ sudo nano /mnt/boot/orangepiEnv.txt overlays=ssd-sata sudo umount /mnt/ && sudo sync sudo poweroff 10. Remove SDcard, turn on orange pi and it should boot orange pi OS from your M.2 sata ssd now Armbian OS Instructions Relatively same instructions with different file names write armbian .img file to your sd card with balenaetcher, I chose to use the more up to date imags from their github here https://github.com/armbian/build/releases/ make sure to unzip boot armbian from sd card, wipe spi sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=1M count=1 3 Download sata spi bootloader from orange github, place it on your sd card (mine is in downloads directory) and write to spi https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build/blob/next/external/packages/bsp/rk3588/usr/share/orangepi5/rkspi_loader_sata.img sudo dd if=/home/pi/Downloads/rkspi_loader_sata.img of=/dev/mtdblock0 status=progress && sudo sync 4. Edit boot file to recognize sata then reboot sudo nano /boot/armbianEnv.txt overlays=opi5-sata sudo reboot 5. Once rebooted you can check sda shows up with command: lsblk 6. download the same armbian.img you used for step 1 to your orange pi making sure it's unzipped in .img format, then flash it to your ssd sudo dd bs=1M if=/path/your/armbian.img of=/dev/sda status=progress && sudo sync 7. Mount /boot/ of ssd so you can edit the ssd’s boot file to support sata and reboot sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ sudo nano /mnt/boot/armbianEnv.txt overlays=opi5-sata sudo umount /mnt/ && sudo sync sudo poweroff 8. Remove SDcard and start SBC, resize filesystem to use all available space sudo systemctl enable armbian-resize-filesystem

Hello, I installed lm-sensors on my Opi5 and I'm able to check temperatures, however I don't know how to make the little fan spin when the temperature rise. I know the temperature is not going to rise till critical levels, but I live in very hot country and I just don't want my device to become too hot. And do you know how to make the fan start at certain temperature rise? Also I'm not sure which pins I should connect the fan to.. One pin should be the 3.3V to get the power, what about the other one? I'm running Armbian 23.02.2 with kernel 5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588 Thanks in advance

Hi Guys, It seems that I can't boot latest Armbian image from SD-card - system always boots into "inintramfs". See the screenshot. SD-card is 100% working (all sectors tested). The image - 25.11.1_noble_6.12.58_gnome_desktop (downloaded from front page of OrangePi5). Checksum is OK. Please note - I've already tested 3 different prorgams for images: USB-imager, Rufus, Win32diskimager. Nothing helped))). I also re-wrote MTD flash (not sata) by "armbian-install" and got nothing (!) I use my main Armbian-server installed on nvme, but I would prefer to run SD-images as well... Unfortunately, as I see, this became very difficult task lately(((. P.S. I don't want to erase mtd0 and boot from SD as I will probably lose my perfectly working boot from nvme if SD-boot fails again. Not sure what to do... Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi guys, First post here, I successfully managed to flash and boot Armbian 25.8.2 (Bookworm Minimal) from an SD card. Everything was working great, HDMI output and network included. I then ran “sudo armbian-install” and selected Option 4 to move the system to my NVMe SSD and make it boot from there. The process itself completed without errors. However, after shutting down and removing the SD card and powering on again the system doesn’t boot. I have the red LED turned on however the green LED that was previously flickering doesn’t turn on. There’s also no HDMI output and the board doesn’t connect to the network. I tried inserting the SD card and the system does boot from that just fine. Where did I screw up? Appreciate the help!

Hello, my Orange Pi 5 works well with the stock OS (1.22, Ubuntu Jammy, BSP kernel 6.1.99), using the SD as a boot device. It also works ok with Armbian Minimal-IoT / Debian 13 / 6.1: v25.8.2 for Orange Pi 5 running Armbian Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx But I prefer Ubuntu and wanted to try 6.12, so I downloaded 25.8.2 / Ubuntu Server / 6.12. Wrote to SD, hooked up the debug UART and powered on. The bootloader is fine, the kernel starts, but at a certain point it panics: [ OK ] Reached target sockets.target - Socket Units.

I have my kernel locked to 6.1.75 but still after 25.8.2 update, I lost all USB devices on both of my Orange PI 5. Only the USB3 port is working. The only way I've been able to get access to the USB is by switching to the latest `current` kernel... Any clues on what is going on? Firmware or kernel upgrades are not doing anything... where can the issue be???? I tried downgrading to many different versions but beside the current branch, USB is gone. Thanks

Hi, I recently got my hands on a used unit of those, quite faster than my old SBC! Only issue I currently have is that I can't seem to get audio output on the 3.5mm jack. (Well the other issue is unrelated .. ) Anyone have an idea on what I should be hunting? I did the obvious cable, etc.. checks. There's always the possibility that it's damaged, hell if I know. Armbian 25.2.1 6.1 kernel KDE Neon (Why use a beta version btw? just wondering) Thanks! DW.

On an orangepi 5 this image failed to post. Armbian_25.8.2_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.115.img.xz worked just fine via balena etcher and booting from a nvme.

Hello, I'm using Ubuntu noble lts with kernel 6.1 it appears. I've enabled the orangepi-5-sata overlay. In the photos I have showed how I've connected it. When plugging in the pi with my official 5v 4a usbc charger, the adapter lights up for awhile. I'm not sure if it needs to stay on. I then check fdisk -l and nothing new appears. This drive works if I put the sata to usb connector on it and plug it in - so it's not the drive.

orange pi 5, orange pi 5 pro, orange pi 5 ultra or orange pi 5 max?

Yeah so just like the title says, has anyone got a tip for a USB Bluetooth dongle that works with the mainline kernel? I got a UGREEN Bluetooth 5.0 dongle a while ago and have just tried again, installing firmware for it. It does get detected as a USB device and the firmware loads. But bluetoothctl never finds it. Gnome doesn't let me 'enable' bluetooth. I'd like to avoid buying a string of these so was just wondering if any are working with mainline? Cheers!

Hey everyone, for the past couple of days I've been looking into the Mesa-VPU script made by AmazingFate that's used to patch Mesa/VPU onto a custom build of Armbian. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/extensions/mesa-vpu.sh I already have an install of Armbian (Debian XFCE 6.12.28-current-rockchip64 ) on my Rock5b and was looking into applying as much as I can without re-building an image or starting from scratch. From my understanding, You'd need the vendor rk3588 kernel if you want the best possible compatibility with things like the VPU for multimedia acceleration (Someone please correct me if this is not the case lol) What follows is what I was able to piece together after troubleshooting, reading the Mesa changelog & trying to apply as many packages as I can from AmazingFate's kernel extension script. I've also included some tweaks for XFCE to hopefully provide a smooth graphical experience. Although my Rock5b is used as a headless server and doesnt have anything plugged into the HDMI port, I can say that the following changes have made a huge difference in graphical performance of VNC. Please keep in mind that i'm not a developer for Armbian. I just wanted to share this as a guide i've put together to hopefully help someone else who's tried the same (Please let me know your thoughts or if there was anything i've missed.

Hi Basically the subj sums it up. I got the AP6275P wireless module with Armbian, and BT is not functional. `hcitool dev` doesn't show the device in its output. Neither does `rfkill`. It works with the Ubuntu image published by Orange Pi though, so it doesn't look like a hardware issue. I'm using Armbian 23.5 Jammy Gnome with the 5.10.160 kernel. Happy to provide any additional data.

I have an Orange Pi 5 board, installed with the 25.8 Debian Bookworm + Cinnamon desktop system. I have switched (using armbian-config) to the edge kernel in order to test the HDMI audio support in the new Linux kernel, but I'm not getting any audio out. The ALSA HDMI card seems to be present (see below), but there's no sound using speaker-test or aplay. I have enabled the hdmirx overlay through armbian-config also, but the result is the same. Is there anything extra that should be configured in order to get audio output ? Output from armbianmonitor - https://paste.armbian.com/gegorimako

Hi, SD card did not load Armbian_25.8.1_Orangepi5_trixie_current_6.12.41_xfce_desktop. I noticed that in boot.cmd line 9 , rootdev is defined as /dev/mmcblk0p1. Should that be /dev/mmcblk0n1 or /dev/mmcblk0n1p1? I note that this file should not be edited and the armbianEnv.txt only refers to rootdev=UUID=7e27c862-0a39-41cd-891e-7d77ff7968fd. Is this an error or am I off course? If so where do I correct it? cheers

Greetings everyone. I hope to receive some assistance here. Our company is a small Linux cloud gaming provider that uses the Cinnamon edition of Linux Mint for our cloud gaming services https://maximumsettings.com/ . We are searching for an affordable local streaming device that we can recommend to our clients, capable of decoding H.265 at 4K - 80Mbps. The Orange Pi 5 is a perfect fit for this role, and the Armbian Cinnamon desktop is well-suited since our clients already use Linux Mint Cinnamon edition on the cloud Gaming PC. However, there is currently no support for our open-source streaming client, Moonlight, which we use as the default option for our clients. This is where we hope to receive your help. We are willing to offer a $1000 Canadian Bountysource donation to Armbian if someone can create a binary version of the Moonlight streaming client https://moonlight-stream.org that can be easily installed by a novice Linux user on the Orange Pi 5 with the Armbian Cinnamon desktop edition OS. Ideally, without the requirement of using the terminal. I should mention that the Moonlight client would require full hardware decoding support for both H.264 and H.265.

I had some difficulties to make my sata disk work and found out that the regulator had to be switched on. So here a dtbo and source to make it hopefully a bit easier for some others. Easiest way to install is "sudo armbian-add-overlay orangepi-5-sata.dts" orangepi-5-sata.dtbo orangepi-5-sata.dts

Hi all, I am trying to recover after a failed NVMe install. I have a working install on an SDCard, but I think my board no longer boots to SDCard, since I flashed the bootloader via armbian-install. I am not sure if my NVMe install is good or not, and I can't currently reflash it. So I think my best bet is to wipe the SPI, which I hope means the board will go back to booting from SDCard. That's question 1 - is that actually a valid solution? If I wipe the SPI will I be able to again boot to SDCard? I am able to get the board into Maskrom mode, and I can see it using the Windows tool. However, I believe that I need a "loader image" that I "download" into the tool before I can wipe the bootloader. The Rock5 SPI wipe guide posted elsewhere in this forum refers to rk3588_spl_loader_v1.08.111.bin, which I don't have, and I'm not sure that's the right loader for the OPi5. That's question 2 - is there a loader for the OPi5 and/or can the Rock5 loader be used here? The OPi5 Manual is very sparse about Maskrom info, it says how to get into that mode, but only gives instructions for flashing the board to Android. The Android download is not working right now (Google Drive quota) so I am not able to get that package, in case it happens to have a suitable loader image. Thanks for any replies in advance.

Hi, I have downloaded and tested the 6.12 kernel Minimal/IOT images and they are not booting. I downloaded trixie 6.1, booted, then manually installed latest 6.12 with armbian-config and the reboot failed. I re-flashed sd card with 6.1, installed edge 6.16.4 (latest) with armbian-config and it booted fine.
