Hi @RadxaYuntian.
The Chinese New Year is already approaching.
Maybe Rockchip will give us a gift and add HDMI support to EUFI.
When can we expect good news?
Hi @RadxaYuntian.

I was working on another product lately. While I didn’t hear anything from Rockchip tight now, I’m expecting to start working on 5B after CNY. I’ll then collect the community feedback and try submitting them to Rockchip.
Do you know if HDMI support is in progress right now, or if Rockchip hasn’t yet started working on it?
Can you please reupload these files to a site other than Yandex? Given the current geopolitical situation, many of us probably won’t trust Yandex to host firmware images.
They said they are working on it a while back. I’ll follow up on it with the community feedback.
Just provide checksum out-of-band or sign the files. There is no secure channel so we gotta learn to live with insecure channel.
Each image has a sha checksum
I think the question was about access to certain resources on the network (geography)
Would DP + USB3 over USB-C also work with UEFI?
Maybe running Windows on Rock5B,
to encourage Rockchip to be more active in Tianocore EDK2?
@SleepWalker could you be so kind as to re-upload your freebsd image, the url currently 404’s.
Also, is anyone aware of any progress with HDMI?
Windows / UEFI on Rock 5 (Mega thread) this thread seems to suggest it’s working for windows??
@mkthngswrk, HDMI works, for Rock 3A and Rock 5B.
Bootable FreeBSD SD card image for Radxa-E25
FreeBSD-aarch64-14.0-CURRENT-Radxa-E25-20230511.img.xz
Thanks @SleepWalker tried this image on my 5B didn’t seem to boot. Do I need to do something to the image?
This is an SD card image for Radxa E25.
You can burn it to an SD card and run it on the E25.
It can also be used to test FreeBSD on other devices on the RK356x,
but then it needs to be written to a USB flash and your device’s UEFI to an SD card or EMMc.
At the same time, the FDT mode is used on the E25, and when testing on other devices,
I recommend using the ACPI mode.
FreeBSD does not currently support RK3588, so
You need UEFI for Radxa Rock-5B.
Thanks, using that image and this https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk35xx/releases/tag/v0.6 on the Rock 5B I managed to get it to boot with HDMI console. Currently stuck in a loop of
error resolving pool 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org: Name does not resolve (8)
I guess I just need to disable ntpd for now since there is no ethernet.
Ok, Nice
If pcie20 worked correctly in UEFI,
then the system would detect pcie RTL8125 on the bus,
and we would have a working Ethernet.
Both Radxa Rock 5 ITX and Rock 5B+ have the same issue!
Had big plans to switch to ARM64 ecosystem. All of them halted!
Please help!
Rock 5 ITX (not plus, the plain one only) and Rock 5B+.
Ciao!
Do not make plans to migrate to arm64 when you need urgent support as arm64 is still under Development for ages.
Good luck with what you plan to do with it.
I have the itx+. I finally got around installing the plain Armbian vendor image without roobi but no luck getting the UEFI image booting. Burned the img to SD. No Go. Flashed to mmcblk0, same. Just doesn’t come on.
Also how do I get a current kernel working? 6.1 vendor works, but not the 6.12.
That said, I got UEFI working on both of my Rock 5b with Fedora 43 Rawhide (and 42 with DT). Can’t be that much off
In order to create working images (which can be used by any untrained user, just record the image and it will work immediately without additional complex manual manipulations), need to conduct tests on real equipment. I don’t have such equipment, sorry, I can’t help you in any way.
I just encountered this problem. Switching ACPI mode from both to ACPI allows linux to boot with USB enabled.
