That is good to hear, thanks for reporting back.

You could try the Tanix TX3 100M box config, I might just make bluetooth work as well.

[gitisgreat2023]

@devmfc
Interesting, he also reports that only 3.2 GB is detected... I tried your newest release.
Do you have a 4GB box where the full amount is available?

RAM only show 3.2 GB, but when i install armbian i have 3.8 GB RAM. I try get dtb-file from armbian but whithout changes - i see only 3.2GB

[devmfc]

None of my S905X3 boxes show more than 3.4GiB available. AFAIK that is normal. Although I admit I think the difference between 4GiB and 3.2 GiB is quite large.

[gitisgreat2023]

What shows cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:

My other armbian box 4002440 kB

[gitisgreat2023]

other box is a standard armbian, 6.6.2-edge-rockchip64

Okay, at the X3 I noticed "Reserved memory: created CMA memory pool at 0x00000000c3c00000, size 256 MiB".
Yours also shows it: CmaTotal: 262144 kB

OK, digged further.... see this.

The 6.6.y kernel for reasons I have yet to figure out reads the MEM wrong. 6.7 and up is not affected by this. Nor is 6.1 to 6.5.

How do I upgrade to a newer kernel, if available?

[devmfc]

Rockchip and Amlogic are quite different...

You could try downgrading the kernel to 6.1 to test if it makes a difference, but I doubt it...

[gitisgreat2023]

Yeah that's right.
How do I upgrade/downgrade the kernel for your release?

[devmfc]

dpkg -i linux-image-xyz.deb

[claudiologiudice]

Have you tested the vfd display?

[FotoFotoCheck]

latest kernel [v6.12.6, not the .5] have boot loop in my headless unit.... revert back to 6.6.60 is good solution for now...btw i'll stay with this kernel 'couse is stable and work well... (using it as mysql server + nfs sharing server for 4 kodi client) and is absolutely great! :D

[devmfc]

Sorry to hear that... That's why I only do a major kernel update every year....
Do you have some output or logs? Which DTB or box config do you use?
You can of course stick with the 6.6 kernel for now, but there will be no more updates to that kernel from my side, so at some point it will get insecure...
That's why I'm very keen to solve the problems with the 6.12 kernel, to give the same stability for the coming year. But I really need logs and as much information as you can give for that...

[FotoFotoCheck]

i think my issue is related to fstab and automount of my 2 hdd...'couse i remember i'll try to disconnect hdd and the box boot up. btw, i use tanix3 config. if is needed, maybe i can try to upgrade now and see what happen! really not a big issue try this.. Only need to backup some DB and try...

edit.
update.
i try!

[FotoFotoCheck]

[FotoFotoCheck]

here log after update...
at this moment is up and running.
i try to see what happen.

-- Boot 41b545d7d9614d9ebe908477c84.txt

[FotoFotoCheck]

ok, 17,5H up and running without issue.
I send now a reboot command, up and running in 'bout 4/5sec

ALL PERFECT. i think is absolutely error with fstab and one disk. unmount "fault" (is not fault but onlyprevious didn't ejected properly), re-mount, reboot...upgrade, test.

Seems all good and working like a charm ;-)

Think issue solved.
Tnx for interesting :-)

[devmfc]

Super, good to hear!
