I wanted to share 2 custom overlays I've created and tested for the RockPi E to enable UART1 and OTG via the GPIO. Create file rockchip-uart1.dts /dts-v1/; / { compatible = "rockchip,rk3328"; fragment@0 { target-path = "/serial@ff120000"; __overlay__ { pinctrl-0 = < 0x23 >; status = "okay"; }; }; }; Create file rockchip-otg.dts /dts-v1/; / { compatible = "rockchip,rk3328"; fragment@0 { target-path = "/usb@ff580000"; __overlay__ { dr_mode = "otg"; }; }; }; Install and enable overlays: sudo armbian-add-overlay rockchip-uart1.dts sudo armbian-add-overlay rockchip-otg.dts

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?

Hi, I am struggling to get the second NIC (1Gbit) to work. The wireless and first NIC (100Mbit) works All NIC's connected I am using Armbian 22.11.0-trunk Bullseye root@rockpi-e:~# ifconfig -a eth0: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 9a:9c:84:a1:77:63 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 41 eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.150.1.153 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.150.1.255 ether 9a:9c:84:a1:77:83 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 511 bytes 40303 (39.3 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 154 bytes 14296 (13.9 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 42 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 wlx60fb004c1ad0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.86.37 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.86.255 inet6 fe80::87c1:1dc5:ab7:6e70 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 60:fb:00:4c:1a:d0 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 4101 bytes 919466 (897.9 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 747 bytes 336966 (329.0 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 root@rockpi-e:~# root@rockpi-e:~# nmcli connection show NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE Wired connection 2 2824d9e9-002b-3206-a9e3-56101ea54125 ethernet eth1 mesh 0f22274b-554b-47b6-899e-2ae5e1ec9e1a wifi wlx60fb004c1ad0 Armbian ethernet f8b4ca43-7e6f-464a-ab38-9c8744b0dc16 ethernet -- Wired connection 1 c7d498a6-cbdd-3daa-b1fe-c71c23dc7e70 ethernet -- root@rockpi-e:~# root@rockpi-e:~# root@rockpi-e:~# nmcli connection up c7d498a6-cbdd-3daa-b1fe-c71c23dc7e70 Error: Connection activation failed: The device could not be readied for configuration Hint: use 'journalctl -xe NM_CONNECTION=c7d498a6-cbdd-3daa-b1fe-c71c23dc7e70 + NM_DEVICE=eth0' to get more details. root@rockpi-e:~# root@rockpi-e:~# journalctl -xe NM_CONNECTION=c7d498a6-cbdd-3daa-b1fe-c71c23dc7e70 + NM_DEVICE=eth0 Journal file /var/log/journal/f5dd17308a32431b9d72c3f4257db559/system@488569ec21fd40be8b54f2a0c0f5271d-0000000000000001-0005ec5fc6f64b22.journal is truncated, ignoring file.

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

My new RockPi-E works well except for a reboot. Have to power it off/on to recover. Is it a known problem? Any solution/workaround? Thanks for your time Chris

Hi I would like to use the UART on physical pins 3 and 5 (https://wiki.radxa.com/RockpiE/hardware/gpio) Does anybody know how to activate it? There is an overlay uart4 but it doesn't do what I expected it to do :-) Thanks Chris

Good day, Dear! How to untag vlan_x to eth0 interface and untag vlan_y it to eth1 and wlan0 and enable igmp v2 support for iptv? Access Point created with armbian-config. Thank.
