Hello.
this guide (https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/guide/sata) to get the SATA breakout box working is written for the officially supported OSes.
How can I get this working with Armbian?
I tryied adding
dtoverlay=rock-5b-sata
to /boot/armbianEnv.txt
thanks for your help
In “/boot/armbianEnv.txt” the following is defined:
overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3588
Rename or copy “rock-5b-sata.dtbo” to “rockchip-rk3588-rock-5b-sata.dtbo” in “/boot/dtb-5.10.72-rockchip-rk3588/rockchip/overlay/” and reboot.
thanks! I tried your suggestion but after a reboot lsblk is showing this:
~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
mtdblock0 31:0 0 16M 0 disk
mmcblk0 179:0 0 119,4G 0 disk
├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 256M 0 part /boot
└─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 117,9G 0 part /var/log.hdd
/
zram0 254:0 0 3,8G 0 disk [SWAP]
zram1 254:1 0 50M 0 disk /var/log
disk is powered and connected to the m2 -> sata adapter
how can I confirm that dtbo was loaded?
I installed the official ubuntu to confirm breakout box is working (and it is)
rock@rock-5b:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
`-sda1 8:1 0 465.8G 0 part
mtdblock0 31:0 0 16M 0 disk
mmcblk0 179:0 0 119.4G 0 disk
|-mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 512M 0 part /boot
`-mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 118.9G 0 part /
any one got this working with armbian yet?
Not sure if you found a solution yourself yet. But there seems to be an issue with loading kernel provided device tree overlays?
However, loading them as user provided seems to work just fine:
Simply copy /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rock-5b-sata.dtbo to /boot/overlay-user/rock-5b-sata.dtbo. Then add user_overlays=rock-5b-sata to /boot/armbianEnv.txt. Reboot and your SATA drive should show up in lsblk.
