Radxa Dragon Q6A


Armbian 26.02 is tested for the latest UEFI firmware (flat_build_wp_260120)  that is available for this board.

For flashing the (extracted) armbian image to UFS storage you can use the same edl-ng tool from flashing the firmware with this command:

./edl-ng --loader prog_firehose_ddr.elf --memory UFS write-sector 0 *.img

 

Bugfixes in 26.02 – Branch: Current

  • Audio Output
  • Booting with the latest BIOS (+DualBoot with Windows 11 on Arm) now possible

TI SK-AM62P-LP

The SK-AM62P-LP starter kit (SK) evaluation module (EVM) is built around the AM62P display processor, which includes scalable Arm® Cortex®-A53 performance and embedded features, such as triple high-definition display support, high-performance 3D-GPU, 4K video acceleration, and extensive peripherals. SK-AM62P-LP is for those looking to develop automotive and industrial applications, including automotive digital instrumentation, automotive displays, industrial HMI and more.

SK-AM62P-LP includes multiple display connectors that enable supporting up to 3 screens, a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI®) CSI-2 camera connector, an M.2 connector for WiFi or Bluetooth modules, 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, UART to USB circuit for debug output, and 2 temperature sensors for monitoring SoC and LPDDR4 thermal monitoring.

Features

  • Processing: AM625P with Quad 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 up to 1.4GHz, two ARM Cortex R5F single core up to 800MHz
  • Display: dual display support with up to 3840p x 1080p display resolution, One dual-channel LVDS and one MIPI-DSI 4L. One HDMI connector over DPI/RGB444 with audio codec TLV320AIC3106
  • M.2 key E interface support for Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® modules; two RJ-45 Ethernet 1000/100Mbps with TSN support
  • Connectivity: 1 Type-A USB 2.0, 1 Type-C dual-role device (DRD) USB 2.0 supports USB booting, onboard XDS110 Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) emulator, 4 universal asynchronous receiver-transmitters (UARTs) via USB 2.0-B
  • Storage: 8GB LPDDR4; bootable interfaces on SK; removable microSD, USB, quad serial peripheral interface (QSPI), Ethernet, UART

NanoPi M5

Note:

  • Currently, booting is only supported from SD Card or NVMe.
  • UFS is available only as external storage, but support for UFS boot will be added soon.
  • To enable booting from NVMe, the bootloader must be installed on SPI NOR using either armbian-install or rkdeveloptool.

Radxa NIO 12L

How to install

Radxa-Nio-12L uses EFI Boot via Grub with DeviceTree. To make use of it follow this Guide from Collabora to flash Uboot onto the UFS storage. Then you can flash one of the provided images onto a SD-Card and power on the SBC which will automatically boot into Armbian. Keep in mind the Boot order has UFS at first place so you need to erase any OS you have on on UFS to boot from a SD Card.

Q&A for Genio-Family:

  • Can I boot from UFS?
    • Yes just make sure to use the Armbian image with the UFS extension as these are partioned with 4096 sector size instead of the 512 used commonly for SD-Card / NVMe / etc.
  • Which kernels are available?
    • We’re making use of Collabora’s mediatek-next branch which is based on mainline Linux.
  • XYZ is not working.
    • Check this support matrix to see if that feature has been implemented already.
