Hardware support is a kernel thing

From what I hear, that could a long time coming for trixie and the a5e.

From my experience with trunk 130 the gmac is working on both ports.

Wifi is not always working, sometimes a reboot may make the wifi to work.

There is no USB 3.0 and HDMI is not working either.

 

Running gdisk armbian.img made it bootable.

The easiest way to run this command for me was from WSL.

@Werner can you please tell how did you built this image: https://testing.armbian.de/Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Radxa-cubie-a5e_trixie_edge_6.18.2_minimal.img.xz ?

 

Image I get with:

 

./compile.sh build BOARD=radxa-cubie-a5e BRANCH=edge BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=trixie

 

seems to be far away from your result. First and foremost it does not boot 😉

 

I ask because of two reasons:

- I'd love to be able to build myself an image that I'm running.

- I need to be able to mount ZFS volumes. I'm unable to install `zfs-dkms` and `zfsutils-linux` when using your image. `apt` says that kernels newer than 6.14 are not supported.

 

I'd also appreciate any tips or resources that would help me to get 6.12.x (or whatever lower than 6.14). I experimented a bit but without luck. I saw that it seems that `current` branch should not be supported on radxa-cubie-a5e board but I somehow got an image that at least has 6.12.63 in its name. It doesn't bring much because it does not boot.

I guess the image was built from a pending pull request for testing before merge. Since it has been merged now it should work. Make sure your framework clone is up to date (git pull).
