Is it possible to flash direkt to NVMe. openFyde is booting correct after flashing zu NVMe via balenaEtcher. When flashing Armbian_23.8.1_Rock-5b_jammy_legacy_5.10.160.img
the Rock 5b doesn’t boot.
Armbian - the best ARM framework 🐧
It is but requires you to flash the spi first for that to work. So I best suggest u not to and to flash your emmc then yes move files to nvme.
I flashed the SPI with maskrom mode and an external computer already to boot fydeOS from it. But armbian doesn’t boot. Can you explain what you mean exactly?
edit: I missed that I need another SPI image (armbian version). Thanks for the advice @DarkevilPT
Likely its not bricked its the PD power loop and its never booting root, I have fallen foul of it so many times I don’t use PD and just have a 12v usb-c barrel connector.
Yeah no to cpu emulation also
https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588 is coming along slowly but likely will never run windows so that is all I know.
Also to anyone as does anyone know what the time base is of /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip2/pwm0/period is?
I am presuming milisecs… just checking as usually fans are 20-25Khz just above hearing range
I did a bash script but been wondering what the time base really is for period?
Anyway much prefer the GPIO fans as you can PWM a brushless 2 pin fan but they are not really wired up that way.

30mm 3pin gpio fan https://thepihut.com/products/software-controllable-5v-30mm-fan-for-raspberry-pi

I am not that keen on armbian as its always seems to come preinstalled with user side scripts.
I prefer vanilla apart from tweaks needed under the hood so why I prefer.
As sticks to rk3588 for a large nunber of boards and also has mainline and are closer to the original distro of Ubuntu but no Debian.

Hey Guys,
Do you have any idea how much work will be involved to add support for the 5B+. I just bought one and without Armbian and the hardware acceleration patches it’s basically unusable for me. I’m really hoping it will be possible to get it working the same for the 5B+ otherwise I’ll need to sell it and buy an older 5B…
Not that much, really. It’s basically just a matter of copying the device tree from Radxa’s repository, and adding a board config for the build. Hardly a couple hours’ worth of work, yet it’s unverifiable without having the hardware on hand, or a very impatient volunteer willing to help (wink-wink).
Armbian will have a dedicated maintainer for this board but I don’t know if he received hardware by now. ETA can’t be said, but it will be supported.
This is what happens when you create a massive segmentation in your own product stack. With every “new” and “improved” version of the board we delay software support that is mostly all generated by free and open source work.
Since I havent made an update to this guide in a long long time (where some areas still need cleaning) I have started some updating today to make it more user friendly and interactive (if we can call it that).

Sorry I totally missed your comment. I’de totally be willing to test it and see if it works. I just don’t know how to build it…
i there,
i just received my Rock5b Plus. Armbian support would be really great!
i’ve tried adding dts and board config. but beeing new to armbian i’m not sure i am understanding the full process yet.
so if anyone is able to do this, i can build and test

Hey everybody! I was working on adding Rock5B+ to Armbian so if anyone is interested in trying a prebuilt image (this is for sd card / emmc only to see if everything is being recognized) here it is
Edit: Link taken down as test is complete.
I get " This location can’t be reached." when accessing the link.
Is it possible to post the image somewhere without creating an account ?
No I took it down as the patches got merged. The test image was just to test it working on real HW. A board configuration to armbian/build is following
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for adding a patch! Is the patch now in master so we can build our own images and/or are prebuilt images going up on the armbian site? Thanks again for doing this!!
When this is merged you can build images yourself or just download the config and add it to armbian/build.
It’s merged now! Happy building
