any chance of having a newer build that really support booting from TF? current one seems only support eMMC boot.
ROCK5 Android12 Bringup Status Update
Completely different on my side - I can connect Rock5 straight to usb-c ports on my thinkpad P52 or it’s dock station and rkdevtools update always finds it and there is no problem with power or so. Something for sure was changed because right now I can’t do the same with Rock3 (I still would like to get back my UART function).
any luck on getting android bootable on microsd?
Android has booted from microSD/TF card every time for me. It has booted from Nvme once, and I haven’t got it to do it again. Any update when nvme boot will be fixed?
which image are you using for sdcard booting?
I have booted it from both the 9/29 and the 10/19 versions so far.
Where did you find them? The latest I tried is 20221008 and there is neither 9/29 nor 10/19 available on the release page:https://github.com/radxa/manifests/releases
repo is at rkr8 with a uboot with no nvme support
the images are from a rkr10 bsp wich i dont see a raxda repo to see wich u-boot
the u-boot linux repo on raxda github has since 6 sept nvme boot function
sd ,emmc should just work only make sure that you format the sd before flashing a android image
first boot takes a longer time
ow would be nice now with the latest 5.10 kernel also rk356x could work on android 12
and a update would be nice so the mpp in android works with the latest kernel
You guys who have Android 12 up and running when you do the benchmarks are you getting anywhere near there initial postings for the GPU with Geekbench & Antutu ?
do i need special tools to format those sd card? i tried format those sd with exfat first with windows disk management, still no go (no hdmi output), image tested: 20220902(rkr8), 20220922(rkr10), 20221008 (rkr10). such issues doesnt persist on debian.
i havent check with serial console yet, but i think android might be bootable, just the display were not showing.
added: just checked with serial console, android is running of course, guess i need to sort out those no issue display then.

I just see a new “NVMe only” Android 12 being available now, which you have to flash it via masked rom mode (or perhaps if you have a “removable” NVMe adapter?)
No time to play with it for these couple weeks, maybe I’ll try during weekend(s).
But it depends on whether the Android image can “see” my NVMe SSD in the first place…
hello, how could I download android12 src code for 5b?
I have a quick question.
On most Android SBCs I’ve tinkered with the USB-C has been the only OTG port. Is it the same with the Rock5? Given that the Rock5 is powered using the USB-C how is that going to effect the use of OTG devices?
well rkr8 you can get with the manifest , the rkr10 manifest doestn work well if there only updated a few repos and sure we are at a higher rkr version 10 is already few months old
Thanks for your reply, I have downloaded rkr8 and compiled it. When I burned the image, I found that it crashed at HWC as follwing:
HWComposer: presentAndGetReleaseFences: present failed for display 0: BadDisplay (2)
So, what is the status of rk8 version , is there anything else need to revise?
Thanks
yeah use the khadas android 12 rkr10 repo and add the few rkr10 repos wich are on the same gitlab as the rkr8
just compiling a rkr356x android 12 rkr10
@anon39001862 - I see Android images with Google play services support for ROCK4 boards. Approximately when can we get similar images for ROCK5? 
Is there any way to get Google Play installed to Android 12 on Rock PI 5B?
