#102

Yes, the Pi 5 PCIe HATs are compatible with ROCK 5C. We tested multiple Pi 5 PCIe HATs from 52Pi, they all works.

armbian’s images can be found at here: https://github.com/armbian/community/releases

#104

I’d mean stable release like jammy CLI not rolling release.

#105

What’s the difference between stable release and rolling release you said?

#106

rolling release is 24.5.0-trunk.xxx current stable is 24.2
https://docs.armbian.com/Process_Release-Model/

P.S. I think 3W/E and 5C support comes with final 24.5

#107

Yes, for the stable image you said you have wait for the release date.

#108

FYI

Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.532_Rock-5c_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img didn’t work
Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.563_Rock-5c_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img didn’t work
Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.563_Rock-5c_bookworm_edge_6.8.9_minimal.img is working

#109

There may be some commits missing in the Armbian kernel branch. E.g.:



My board is almost here, and when I have it, I will test it and create a PR with whatever is missing (unless somebody beats me to it).

I just received my Rock 5C V1.1 today; it’s model RS131-D4R26, Radxa ROCK 5C 4GB, and if I go to the getting started URL, and click on Downloads, there are only schematics and drawings available: https://radxa.com/products/rock5/5c/#downloads

Are there any official images available, or should I try to find an Armbian release?

Probably it’s still in progress but You may look at radxa github builds:

Also confirmed that a random Pi 5 nvme hat just works.

Can anyone of the 5C owners (with RK3588S2) please provide the output of the following:

hexdump -C <"$(find /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/rockchip*/* -name nvmem 2>/dev/null | head -n1)"

(it’s about differentiating RK3588S2 from RK3588/RK3588s based on nvmem contents)

Hi There,
I have 5C and here is the output:

Are the ROCK 5C’s ARM SystemReady certified?
Will they be? If yes, which SystemReady track & version?

Also - what do you think about SR in general? Is it a good initiative?
How is it doing? I did not come across much recent progress during my web research.

#119

How? All we have wrt SystemReady are some vague announcements:

And 5C / 5C Lite lack any SPI NOR flash as such where should EDK2 live?

Use the SPI flash module on the eMMC connector:

The Rock PI 4B Plus has some SR certification.
That’s in fact how I found out about Radxa.

Is EDK2 a hard requirement for SystemReady?
Apologies for my low-level questions. They reflect my overall knowledge of the matter, but I want to learn.

SystemReady sounds interesting to me.
A SBC supporting a standard boot flow, allowing me to boot any mainline linux criteria, that would be a pretty big purchase criteria for me.

That’s why I’m curious about the status and the plans for SystemReady adoption by Radxa.
