Any working orangepi5-pro image?

Is there any working image for orangepi5-pro?

I am having trouble to understand a few things in the https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-5-pro/

 

It says:

PCI support is broken on vendor kernel (6.1.xx) on versions higher then 24.8.1. Use this version and freeze kernel (armbian-config -> system) prior to updating OS. PCI works on other Rockchip 3588 devices, while fixing this on all represent expensive technical challenge which we will be able to proceed once your donations for entire project reaches at least 1000 USD per month. With Orangepi devices we have extremely high negative support budget. Alternative operating systems that relies on our work face the same problem. We appreciate for your understanding.

 

 

But downloding the image on that page brings Armbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.38_Orangepi5pro_bookworm_vendor_6.1.115_minimal.img.xz

which is version 25.8.0 and that image wont boot.

Check assets at community releases as csc hw is ususally not on mirrors but on GH: https://github.com/armbian/community/releases

Hi @Michael Robinson, thanks for the help, but one of the first things i did was check the build process. Unfortunately there is no orangepi5-pro board in the v24.8.1 branch which makes that warning about 24.8.1 version even hard to understand. I tried to compile new versions, but none of those new versions boot.

 

Hi @Wernerthanks for the tip, but unfortunately the oldest version on github is 24.11 and they do not boot

I have an Orange Pi 5 pro - with a 256GB M.2 SSD drive -  I have kernel 6.115 running .  Booting from SD - root is mounted on nvme0n1p1 (the SSD). Armbian 25.8.0-trunk53.-bookworm. I have three issues with this - 1:- no audio out of the 3.5 inch jack.         2: No internal Bluetooth   3. Have to use the SD card for initial boot.       PCI is working on that version.  

 

I would like to use the RT-Pre-emptive kernel.  It doesn't seem to be available.  And the 6.1.2 kernel images do not find the SSD drive at all on orange pi 5 pro.

I assume should work with vendor. Maybe missing node in device tree.

Maybe missing firmware blobs or same as above.

Expected since neither SPI nor eMMC are present by default. Direct boot from NVMe isn't support by any Rockchip soc.

I have questions about 1 building a full image that supports the Orange Pi 5 Pro.  From my understanding of building the kernel - the supported modules for the chipset need to be built for the specific SBC card.   I can easily access the correct kernel I would like.  What I am lacking is an understanding of what source images to install on my build platform for the modules and what the the configuration settings specific to the  SBC.    

Can someone clue me in?   I haven't built a  kernel in 20 years.   I can try to make a case for Armbian to support the OPI 5 Pro or Max.  But this isn't the right forum  for that,  I prefer the Pro or Max over the Plus as I do not need all those HDMI ports.  My goal is to build two kernels - one on SMB Pre-emptive and one RT PREEMPTIVE  - specifically for the Orange Pi 5 PRO and two images with all the I/O functional.    Evidently the Armbian official builds are for the Orange Pi 5B and the Plus.  I haven't exhaustively gone through all of the community supported offerings.

All images are specifically made for the board. Some share the same kernel package since they are from the same soc family (for example, there are a lot of boards using the rk3588/s soc so they can have the same kernel package. Board's components are defined in device tree).

Sample board config: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/boards/orangepi5pro.csc

BOARD_FAMILY is rockchip-r3588

The sources config: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/sources/families/rockchip-rk3588.conf

 

Pro, max and ultra are community contributions and for now entirely unsupported since there is also no support from the vendor for us for these whatsoever to make its software better.
