Thank you very much but the power supply would be ok
OKdo listed 5B under Questo prodotto è compatibile con altri computer a scheda singola?, so I think it should be alright.
Hello everyone,
I recently acquired a ROCK5B SBC and I’m currently working on establishing communication on the CAN bus using an MCP2515 module. However, I encountered some difficulties in enabling the SPI interface on the SBC. I attempted to follow the WiringX tutorial, but unfortunately, it didn’t yield the desired results. Additionally, I also tried using rsetup to activate SPI, but encountered further issues.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide me with.
Thank you in advance!

The wiringX tutorial is described in the ReadMe file here : GitHub -https://github.com/radxa/wiringX. When trying to build and generate the deb package (make command) I got errors.
The error message is described here : ROCK5B + wiringX.
Thank you for the fast reply. It may be a stupid question but how can I enable an overlay in rsetup ?
Thank you very much
Hi all, could you please tell me what is the max CPU freq on this system?
It is 2.4Ghz, just off memory some cores are 1.8 and others 2.4
I’ve installed rock-5b_debian_bullseye_kde_b33.img.xz to an nvme ssd with xzcat rock-5b_debian_bullseye_kde_b33.img.xz | sudo dd status=progress of=/dev/nvme0n1 but the image will not boot.

What must I do to actually boot with this image?
Failed to mount ext2 filesystem…
So it’s better to have fat32 boot partition.
I dd the image to the disk. Why are the image boot files under an ext4 partition? The boot partition of the image file is too small to simple move them there. How was this image supposed to be booted? Since I didn’t create it I’m asking here 
It should be the issue of this image. I don’t know much about it.
The issue is in the SPI bootloader. We should provide an update to it shortly.

Please use the latest ROCK 5B SPI image.
Need this patch to fix Failed to mount ext2 filesystem…
Other commits related to nvme/ext4.
New spi boot-loader.
Is the boot preference now sd-card , usb,nvme ?
How do you enable pwm output with this image? The guide about hardware configuration is not functioning. I need PWM8_M0 to control a 5V pwm fan.
