August 26Aug 26 Not sure why, but i had to add the pcie_aspm=off to my /boot/extlinux.conf to get the newest build to see my nvme drive, this has never happened on previous builds, and the only options i turn on from the default config being fetched is enabling graphics drivers. very strange.
August 26Aug 26 took me a long time to figure out why, my nvme drive would show under lspci, and it would see the controller but id never get anything under lsblk. still not sure what changed but if anyone else runs into similar problem thats how i fixed it.
August 28Aug 28 Author @cal5582 Seems like lots of NVME needs to disable ASPM. For my Samsung 9b1 NVME, I solved this with a kernel patch, see https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/kernel/archive/spacemit-6.18/013-Disable-ASPM-L0-for-Samsung-PM9B1-NVME.patch HTH // Sven-Ola

September 5Sep 5 Hello. Finally, I have built an image on my Orange Pi 5B for the Orange Pi RV2 and launched it from a TF card. Currently, I have two RV2 boards with 8 GB of RAM and plan to maximize these devices by contributing to Armbian specifically for this device. Well, so far I have only successfully launched the system, and it will take a few days to figure out its capabilities and errors. So far I can only work with TF cards, but after a while I will add m.2 drives. It is not very clear what about working with USB. I am interested not only in the successful work of the server build but also in the effective work of the graphical desktop environment. In a few days I will write about the test results.
September 20Sep 20 Hi. Following up on the previous post: I used the built image to compile HestiaCP and set up a web hosting server, successfully launching a PHP site. I also ran several Go applications, which proved stable without requiring any "quick-and-dirty" workarounds. My next step is to perform load testing on the web server—specifically, testing how it handles a significant number of connections and streams multimedia and data via WebSockets. I plan to deploy this same image on another board and attempt to install a graphical environment. I’m not moving very fast, but I’m glad the server is up and running stably; this allows me to start planning for its deployment in a production environment.
October 10Oct 10 Hello! I would like to get Trixie with a desktop working on my board. I currently use "armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-*-6.18.18_gnome_desktop" and it actually works well. It worked better and had less stuttering before i upgraded and got "6.18.44-current-spacemit", but it's still usable for light browsing, "RDP"ing into my main machine with Remmina (currently doing that to write this comment!) and even gaming: "The Question" demo renpy game from repos works well and I'm curious how something bigger like "Everlasting Summer" is going to work on that board, but for that I need renpy 8.3.4 and noble is at 8.1.3, so that's why I want to get Trixie working: it has the exact version I need. Should I try to compile the image with BUILD_DESKTOP set? Does the unofficial image contain some additional fixes for graphics drivers? Edited October 10Oct 10 by VBB
October 11Oct 11 I have build Trixie with gnome desktop. Then ran the `spacemit-gpu-addon.sh` script and hw acceleration appears to be working. vkcube fails with this error: ``` Selected WSI platform: xcb vulkan: No DRI3 support detected - required for presentation Note: you can probably enable DRI3 in your Xorg config vkcube: ./cube/cube.c:4228: demo_select_physical_device: Assertion `demo->gpu_number >= 0' failed. ``` Then I tried to launch gnome system monitor with vulkan renderer (GSK_RENDERER=vulkan gnome-system-monitor) and, besides some bugs with icons, it does work, inspector show that vulkan gsk renderer is used. I was able to successfully launch Everlasting Summer (copied it from stream from renpy8 branch) with the 7dl mod (must be ported to python3 and renpy8, luckily sources are available). Very much playable. I have used renpy from distro repos and removed splash screen pictures, because the game crashes after being unable to create a window for that splash screen. `RENPY_LESS_UPDATES=1` can be used too, but it also reduces animations in the game itself. Wi-Fi doesn't work, but it's not a big deal for me, since I use Ethernet. Bluetooth works. Boot time is veeery long. 3 mins for kernel. ``` systemd-analyze Startup finished in 3min 15.784s (kernel) + 31.495s (userspace) = 3min 47.280s graphical.target reached after 31.491s in userspace. ```
October 18Oct 18 Hey! It looks like Íker Pedrosa got upstream GPU support (GPU firmware is not upstream) https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20261015-orangepi-gpu-v1-0-03566a615660@gmail.com/ I just hope that thermal and cpufreq stuff get a bit better because my K1 does not get under 65-75ºC
Thursday at 07:31 PM2 days Hey. I've installed the image to my Orangepi RV2. I experience some weird delay on boot: i see a black screen (hdmi) for 3 minutes and then the mini pc shows the terminal and I can log in. I used another image (kernel 6.6), and such an issue didn't exist there. Can you help me solve this issue, pls?
Friday at 11:47 AM1 day This PR should resolve the issue; https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/11035Try updating the kernel.

I tested using the last version (the image from Nov 3 + all the updates). Each time I power on Orangepi RV2, i have to wait ~3 mins. I also tested Armbian Debian image several months ago. I had the same issue. I decided to continue using Orangepirv2_1.0.0_debian_trixie_minimal_linux6.6.63-v3.img because of that issue. Recently, a critical velnerability was discovered in Linux kernel (in TCP). I can't use 6.6.63 anymore because of it.I am not sure if I would experience the delay if I used an NVME SSD. I think booting from a fast MicroSD card should not be a problem. I don't know how I can troubleshoot this issue because it happens on an early stage, i.e. before Systemd starts services. I tried disconnecting all the USB devices and HDMI monitor. I does not help to fix the delay.
