SPI Loader for Rock 5C (Lite)

yes, there are still many things to do to improve the use experience for radxa, we are just doing this. thanks for your feedback.

Iā€™ve managed to boot a 1Tb SSD on my ROCK-5c using SPI. Itā€™s an Armbian build which I built myself. Iā€™m using Linux 6.10 and the kernel is built using LLVM Clang 18.1.8 not GCC.

Is it such a success? Last I checked it couldnt beat the rk3588ā€¦ But then againā€¦ I guess sucess has different meanings.

RPi Ltd. manages to sell inferior hardware in the millions because they do other things right (this software and support thing). Maybe it helps to reflect on this fact to get what Radxa is doing wrong?

Ah rightā€¦ lets sing prayers to already mainline hardware and then criticize radxa who goes an extra mile to give us an more risky hardware.

Thomas Giā€¦ I still like youā€¦ butā€¦ Saying those things hurt and yes theres def some corners where radxa has to improve. But vouching for rpi is cheapā€¦ or do u work for them?

That raspberry pi is a successful company is not ā€˜vouchingā€™ for them, itā€™s just stating a fact. You donā€™t need to work for them to know facts about them.

Then why are yous wasting time here ? Just go and have fun with it.

What do you mean? I prefer Radxa boards, they have superior hardware.

Why is this SBC world so stupid?

There are many reasons why ā€˜Linux on ARMā€™ sucks but this nonsense unnecessarily contributes to it.

Then stop doing that lol. U can get an super computer and problem solved. I honestly dont think that rpi 5 is far superior compared to the radxa board.
You guys are always whinning about radxa support.
Yet you guys are here because the hardware is good.
So grow up.

Nobody (except you) is even thinking about such nonsense.

You fail to understand that the current type of ā€˜supportā€™ harms Radxa (writing docs that are outright wrong and not answering user questions). And this was my only point.

OMG, you really donā€™t understand anything. I ā€˜am hereā€™ to help Radxa even if itā€™s close to stupid to do so (since they prefer to fragment their community with this Discord crap).

And your whole ā€˜ideaā€™ that someone who mentions a successful company that has just a few but inferior HW products but excels in the areas of software/support/documentation which defines their success (number of HW products sold) implies ā€˜working for themā€™ā€¦

Ah, nevermind. This SBC world is sooooooo stupid.

@tkaiser not everyone must be so well versed in computer stuffā€¦ Itā€™s a bit of an overgeneralization to state this based on one guyā€™s posts. What would the ā€œSBC worldā€ have to become not to appear ā€œstupidā€ to you? Should everyone be born as software + hardware engineers for the SBC world not to be stupid?

Btw I agree that many companies just dump out products and never support them but thatā€™s just what incentives are like in the real world.

Sorry for an off topic post.

ā€˜mimimimi I like raspberry pi better mimimi radxa sucks mimimi discord is crap mimimimi yous suck and are stupid idiots and my alter ego is superior than yoursā€™

You are starting to sound like Igor Specky. Whats next? Buy me a coffee? Developer work means tireness and depression?


Sure we all agree that Radxa is Lazy! More focused on sales than quality. What else is new ? Is that really a deal breaker ? They prefer to cut corners where its not entirely a big deal.

What other competition is there to beat radxa down?
Khadas has quality there 1 - 0
Orange Pi has prices on their favour 1 - 0
Raspberry Pi has ass lickers 5 - 0

If we analyse thisā€¦
Khadas cant beat Radxa prices.
Orange Pi doesnt even has a decent forum for people to gather share content and depends on armbian for that purpose.
Raspberry Pi 5 didnt impress the competition.

Soā€¦ ecletic developers are sticking with mother nature the pinacle of english based land and developing within the laws.

U think if radxa fixes a few typos that ā€¦ alter egos like yourself will be lean to change teams ? Really?
I dont even need to say ā€˜fix its hardware or softwareā€™ everyone on the likes of Jeff Gerling will always be shilling the undercap raspberry pis for the likes of ā€˜what it should beā€¦ but isntā€™.

This talk is older than you saying discord sucksā€¦ yet u havent brought anything interestingā€¦ which sucks causeā€¦ when I first joined this venture I had some stars on your name for the information you provided out in the clear without BS. Thats the person I had you inā€¦ but then this bleeding knife on radxa legs is getting oldā€¦ boring and stupid.

Radxa knows thisā€¦ they arent blind they have the final word and if they dont want to fix it they must have a reason.

Yes Rock 5B is a joke since launch boot loops and an never ending spam of posts about chargers issues for boot loops where even one guy said he threw his to the lake. (Which by the way can be (avoided fixed)).

Guess thats sorted with Rock 5C and maybe stopping production on 5B wouldnt be so bad however idk how that would ā€˜affectā€™ collabora mainline development.

Adding to thatā€¦ the big hoax on the ā€˜Rock 5B can have eGPUs attached to it boyzzā€™ well where is that ?
Dont think I can blame radxa for that one sinceā€¦ the hardware is there.


Rock 5A - has no issues that I had found apart from that emmc thing butā€¦ I guess I was lucky with thatā€¦

CM5 - Love it.

All others I cant sayā€¦

But my experience overall with radxa is good and I am pretty sure that I will find better developers on this side of the jam than I will on ā€œRockMyPiBerry 5 mimimi discord mimimi elite mimimi dick size mimi talk .ā€

He is so big in his little house that just to think about having Tom Cubies courage to start a sbc company has his pants loaded with mudā€¦ so lets not keep this up.

We gotta agree that radxa has cool products and not everyone is a pessimist theres devs making it amazing with their own images.

I hope things get better and I mean it. And I think slashing on radxa again and again can hurt more than doing any good.

We have Joshuas Work ; Kwankius Work ; AmazingFate PPAs ; FydeOS envolved ; Other little kumpas attemps to do emulation images and what notā€¦
I think overallā€¦ radxa is in a sweet spot and their mad new wiki docs needs an quality check.
Its a bit wierd that radxa seems to lack an english web developer to do that work. Maybe soon someone will surprise us and yetā€¦ why does this matters? rpi army will be always here to point fingers :roll_eyes:

and why force the ā€˜need to beatā€™ one another? Radxa isnt the raspberry foudationā€¦ theres no need for that.
