Bad Ubuntu images version b27

#1

Hi.
I would like to address those people who are building a linux for Radx CM3. Do they test their images to make sure they work before publishing?
The thing is that all images of Ubuntu linux version b27(latest) do not work.
First of all: the “extlinux.conf” file is wrong. Here are its contents:
/////////////////
## /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

There is a line missing in the file specifying the path to the files “dtb”.(fdtdir /usr/lib/linux-image-5.10.160-26-rk356x/). Accordingly, the linux kernel is not loaded.
But it doesn’t help to boot either. The boot process just stops anywhere and the green LED on the module stops blinking. The module hangs. This applies to all Ubuntu images of version b27. Debian linux versions work, but I need openssl version 3, and these images have openssl version 1.
Versions b24 and b25 work unless they are upgraded. Version b25 does not detect the display resolution correctly. PLEASE HELP! FIX THIS! I REALLY NEED A LINUX VERSION WITH KERNEL VERSION 5.10 AND OPENSSL VERSION 3.

You also need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/panfrost.conf to blacklist panfrost driver, then run update-initramfs -u from a chroot environment (something like this) in order for kernel to boot.

Ubuntu is not supported and was provided as-is. We will stop producing them in the future.

#3

I guess then people will stop using radxa boards. Here at forum I see that many questions left unanswered, boards became more and more unsupported and unusable in more and more cases. Ubuntu is the most spreaded distribution - even armbian is based at it. Inability to release and support it for board maker is dead end. The best will survive in the world but not stupid

Hi
What do you support offcially?
Debian12? It’s version 1 of openssl. Nobody needs that anymore. Yokto? I’ve tried two different builds. Everything crashes at the start! You don’t support it either?

#5

Until Rockchip release their RK3568 Debian 12 SDK we can only officially support Debian 11 Desktop image.
For Yocto you can contact @Stephen on our GitHub repo directly.
