Hi. I have RockPi E v1.21 and I found, that I'm not able to boot image with new kernel 6.12 (tried minimal images 25.2.1 and 24.11.1, USBImager and Balena Etcher, 3 SD cards, different power supplies). With image 24.8.3 it boots normally. Also I found, that after upgrading 24.8.3 to kernel 6.12 the RockPi boots, but Ethernet doesn't work (even LEDs are dead). Another thing which I notice is, that I didn't find any option to disable kernel upgrades, but what I googled, it should be present in armbian-config->system->kernel->Y203. But this Y203 option is missing. Here is successful boot log of 24.8.3: https://paste.armbian.com/ixuvimofis.sql here is boot log of 24.8.3 upgraded to 6.12: https://paste.armbian.com/ahezanixol.sql Here is failing boot of 25.2.1: https://paste.armbian.com/onuhumomob.yaml P.S. on the successful boot of 24.8.3 I didn't have ETH cable connected, that's why there is Network connection timeout!, but it works fine after connecting. What's weird, that both 24.8.3 boots says on the beginning Net: Could not get PHY for ethernet@ff540000: addr -1 No ethernet found. But I assume that's problem only of u-boot, because it's before kernel boot. Thanks!

hi thanks for this excellent device wished it was not sold out and had hdmi though X-D https://dwaves.de/2024/12/24/test-review-benchmark-armbian-gnu-linux-on-rockpi-e-rk3588-armv8-no-gpu-but-desktop-via-x11vnc-and-xvfb-how-to-download-run-geekbench-v5-v6-arm-x86-out-of-ram-fixed-risc-v-faster/ https://shop.allnetchina.cn/products/copy-of-rock-pi-e?variant=31974543425638 but it's possible to run full desktop virtualized installed https://www.armbian.com/rockpie/ running fine and dandy until one fine day, thought about, let's upgrade this thing: after: apt update apt upgrade reboot only 1x nic still working :( lshw -class network *-network:0 DISABLED <- this one failed description: Ethernet interface physical id: 9 logical name: end0 serial: 5e:...95 capacity: 1Gbit/s capabilities: ethernet physical tp aui bnc mii fibre 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=off broadcast=yes driver=st_gmac driverversion=6.14.0-rc4-edge-rockchip64 duplex=half link=no multicast=yes port=MII *-network:1 <- this one works description: Ethernet interface physical id: a logical name: end1 serial: 5e... b5 size: 100Mbit/s capacity: 100Mbit/s capabilities: ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=st_gmac driverversion=6.14.0-rc4-edge-rockchip64 duplex=full ip=169.254.2.98 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=100Mbit/s # running this kernel Operating System: Armbian 25.2.2 noble Kernel: Linux 6.12.17-current-rockchip64 cat /proc/device-tree/model Radxa ROCK Pi E dmesg | grep rk_gmac [ 4.059672] rk_gmac-dwmac ff540000.ethernet: IRQ eth_wake_irq not found [ 4.059723] rk_gmac-dwmac ff540000.ethernet: IRQ eth_lpi not found [ 4.059739] rk_gmac-dwmac ff540000.ethernet: IRQ sfty not found [ 4.059925] rk_gmac-dwmac ff540000.ethernet: PTP uses main clock [ 4.060263] rk_gmac-dwmac ff540000.ethernet: clock input or output?

Hello, I'm using a rock pi e ver 3.0 with armbian 24.8.3: I would like to drive the state of a gpio, that of pin 7 or gpio 100: I'm not an expert and I tried to use the GPIOD libraries for python but I couldn't do anything because I get errors; from the command line through the gpiodetect command it seems to me that the chipset is recognized and I see some lines and the status of the gpios but I cannot change the status of these. Am I going in the right direction? Are there other methods to drive these GPIOs? Thank you in advance.

hello! Can help me about orange 3b, I want to adapt one dts file to my board, how to correctly indicate the names of the pins, the example gives the following sample entry: https://mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/sitronix,st7701.txt reset-gpios = <&pio 3 24 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* LCD-RST: PD24 */ how to correctly fix this for my board?

Hey guys, we are facing an issue we can not resolve ourselves so we are looking for some help on here... Our Rock Pi E does not restart successfully occasionally. Running the Rock Pi E with latest official Armbian with a USB soundcard attached. We are capturing audio and distribute the captured audio via "(c)VLC" via network. Since a few months we are facing reboot issues which are persistent but not easily reproducible. Whenever we reboot manually, everything works fine. When rebooting via cron it does often not reboot and get into a freeze state which makes it impossible to connect via SSH nor serial-adapter. We already tried switching the power source (suspecting a lack of power), adding a powered USB hub in-between and renewing the USB soundcard to eliminate any defects. We also switched SD card and now even switched to eMMC completely. Also we had in mind that this could be a heat issue, so we installed heatsinks and even a little fan. I am not 100% sure if this is the only issue since we had some hickups with cvlc, too, which stopped audio streaming suddenly when running for a long time. We had the setup untouched running for a few months, then it started to crash every other week, then like every other day. This is when we came up with a daily reboot to gain some time inspecting what the issue could be. armbian -u: https://paste.armbian.com/umekijamum Output on serial right before it freezes: https://paste.armbian.com/sicesorulu.sql Any ideas? Is there a way to detect any RAM faults or faults in the underlying Armbian/Kernel that occured on some unintended reset/power failure? We did not re-install Armbian yet since this is quite a bit work to get it all done again.

Hello. I'm trying to get the PWM2 and 3 to work on RockPi E. I made a custom dts to enable PWM2, loaded using armbian-add-overlay: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "rockchip,rk3328"; fragment@0 { target = <0xffffffff>; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; }; }; __fixups__ { pwm2 = "/fragment@0:target:0"; }; }; But the kernel doesn't boot: Any idea? I already tried to enable uart1 using custom dtbo and it works without problem. I'm testing on Ubuntu Noble Minimal/IoT v24.8.3 for Rockpi E running Armbian Linux 6.6.51-current-rockchip64 Thank you

Hi Team, I want to build or get pre-built armbian image for kernel 4.4 with wifi : rtl8723as enabled. Please help or provide any suggestion to build armbian image for rockpi-e. Any help or suggestion will be appriciated.

I have been working on rk3328 (kernel 6.1) based board recently and have been trying to bringup wifi RTL8723AS module using rockpi-e image. As there is no direct support available for this module I have tried to cloning it from github and building it but it gives compilation errors. Hence I referred to drivers available in the kernel and found one for the module similar to that of my module (RTL8723BS), cross verified through user manual and datasheets and build it using armbian. The driver gets built properly and even initializes upon powerup but it isn't getting into probe. The wifi is interfaced through SDIO to the board. Any idea what might be wrong?

Hello! First of all. Sry if this was already menationed ins some thread. I tried to find the solution here I am using a ROCKPI E. I switchted my OS from Ubutnu to ARMBIAN 23.8 Bookworm. I am still confused, if this was a good idea. I read that ARMBIAN should be the “better” OS for the KERNEL. Is there a rule of thumb what to use? On my Ubuntu i made some settings to route my IPS, since i am controling a pump on ETH0 and using my LAN on ETH1. On UBUNTU i made this changes on dhcpcd.conf: interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.1.50/24 static router=192.168.1.2 static domain_name_server=8.8.8.8 Since this file does not exist on ARMBIAN, where do i make the changes for this on ARMBIAN? thank you

Hello, i installed Armbian 23.8 on my ROCKPI E. When i put a LAN cable into END0, everything is quiet, no leds are glowing. END1 works normal. I used nmtui and tried to activate it. Do i have to add somewhere end0? is this port not automaticly configured? thank you
