I installed Debian 12 (Bookworm)XFCE from the official Armbian website onto the NVME SSD of the board. Everything works fine except the 4 hard drives that are connected to boards SATA connectors. They do appear and work when i boot into the Debian provided by Radxa, so I know hardware isn't an issue. 

 

I think that they also worked during the very first boot of the system but after ``` apt update  && apt upgrade ``` and reboot, they stop working.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Known problem.

It is probably solvable with enabling correct overlay. I can see we don't have a dedicated for ITX board, but try others. @amazingfate Should we put this into main DT instead so its just enabled by default?

Sometimes PCIE interface used by the 4 port sata is not detected by 6.1 kernel.

 

Oh. I didn't looked into the code ...

 

We have a few of patches for previous generation in order to work (better), but on mainline:

@DontMindMeYou can use the old 5.10 kernel. That works without a problem. If you want to build your own replace branch vendor with legacy.
Example :

 

./compile.sh build BOARD=rock-5-itx BRANCH=legacy BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=jammy

Hey everyone,

 

Thank you all for picking up on this issue.

 

@NicoDI tried changing the Kernel to 5.10 in the ``armbian-config``` but that did not boot so I burned the image again.

I will try to compile it using the doker and report back.

 

 

@Igor How would I use the doker to build an image with those patches? Do I need to include those changes explicit after puling the Armbian repository?

 

Cheers,

David

No, pathches will not apply for this kernel. That is just an idea. Path suggested by Nico might work. But that kernel is old ... With other limitations.

Logs excerpts are usually useless. Provide logs as suggested from the build output:

Try to build from main instread (I assume you tried 24.05 branch)

So summary for now:

 

The system works fine and the hard drives are being detected and mount fine.

I would want to upgrade the Kernels at some point to use be update but for now this works OK.

Originally i was planning to run Yunohost but sticking with https://syncthing.net/ for now.

 

 

One additional question (I realize I might need to open a new thread for this.)

How can I use the ATX Pins on the board, i.e. the power button, reset button etc.

 

Thank y'all for your help! much appreciated.

No idea if these are even exposed. Anyway check the datasheet for the board. I guess there is some schematic for it around on the web.

Hi, I have the same issue with 3 SATA drivers, sometimes it doesn't see any of SATA disks, sometimes it does. Kernel 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx.

 

I've tried several 12 V power suply, no effect. So I've tried ATX suply also no effect. Still same issue.

 

Board with 24 GB RAM.

Hi, I am also affected by this issue. What are the chances that the fix will get into the stable release update? I am not feeling comfortable downgrading the kernel because it was mentioned that it can break the boot and I can't afford any downtime on my machine.

 

Thanks!

Hi all, only info:

 

After connecting 4 SATA disks it is almost impossible to start SBC to see disks.
