The CM3588 would need its own specific image. |

Would be greatly appreciated if one could be available Seems it's gotten quite popular since review on Linus Tech Tips |

Since I work on so many boards I can not financially afford them all. I will try and reach out to FriendlyElec, hopefully they will be able to send me a board for development. |

I understand. Not having the actual devices to test on. I'm in a little group facing the same issues, but for development with the Android side of things. Trying to make something useful from the horrendous stock firmware. Getting full (and flawless) HW video decoding to work (including HEVC 10 bit) was the main priority. In the end Kodi can now play anything you throw at it. I'd like to achieve the same on Linux Anything I can provide? Software wise? |

I also am wanting to run this distro on a cm3588 https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip/wiki/Ubuntu-24.04-LTS#changing-the-device-tree |

A device tree needs to be added to the kernel for the CM3588 and U-Boot support needs to be added. |

Was just about to get cracking, when I discovered there already is a dts for this in the repo: Someone added it 3 months ago! |

I can verify that switching to that device-tree works fine. I have 2 nvmes installed and both show up just fine. Perhaps this could be added as a prebuilt image so we would not need to do the additional step of changing device tree. |

Can confirm it works! Still some hurdles to overcome. Don't know what your intended use-case is, but I'd like to try and make it a multipurpose SBC, running Kodi as main media player (acting also as launcher for browser and other apps) and Home Assistant (with other docker add-ons) in the background. For this to work I'll still need:
So far I've got it running, log-in straight into Kodi GUI and everything else running as services in the background. All that consuming very little power and resources |

Hello, I use that nas board as well and I would love to see JR Ubuntu working on it (I have beta "pro" board with SPI ram on board and second normal one) |

Initially, the latest version 24.04 runs fine (with the modification). But it all depends on what you want to do with it once you've got it running. Enough for plain for desktop use and/or docker management. Video playing/streaming isn't on par at this moment, making the CM3588 not as suited as a multi-purpose Media player/Server device.....for now. |

I not need graphical output Jellyfin work just fine (you need recompile ffmpeg-jellyfin as it has a nasty bug in libs when you enable hardware decoding). I need all 4 drives working and if possible, load oss directly from NVMe and not at all from emmc as this emmc will die fast with my kind of |

Your method don't work for me, I still have only first nvme detected, on both boards |

It should. My two nvme drives are recognized. However use 24.04. I didn't work on 22.04 |

I use 24.04 as well and each board has 4 nvme drives installed, one run dotnet api, other website and nas +jellyfin + icecast with liquidsoap. booting go well but still only first drive is seen. In fact is a second NVMe visible 3 others are not here, one usb 3 is not working as well, on both boards. |

Sorry for the dumb question here, but I can't figure out how to get things put onto the SPI-NOR device because it doesn't show up in /dev as it should. I downloaded all of the different device trees (3 i believe) and copied them to their location according to the post, but it still isn't there. For the device tree edit needed in /etc/default/u-boot I'm not sure what that is referring to Where is the file that it's looking for, is that one of the files that was copied over from the zips? Thanks for all of the work and effort, I'm just trying to figure out how to get this thing up and running and hopefully get a build of Opnsense running on here (but freebsd is being a turd). |

Hello, regular cm3588 has no spi, only few had, if you want spi flash memory, you need add it by yourself to standard carier board, same for opi5 pro, by the way. |

I'm using the NanoPC T6 24.04 LTS release for my new CM3588.
Everything is working fine. However, the CM3588 has four NVMe m.2 slots (of which two occupied) and only the first is recognized.
Does the CM3588 need its own separate image or can this be solved another way?
Also the 'normal' USB2/3 ports don't recognize a common mouse/keyboard dongle. The USB-C port does.
