Rock5B Not Functioning Properly After DietPi-Update

Creating a bug report/issue

[:white_check_mark:] I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Required Information

  • DietPi version | G_DIETPI_VERSION_CORE=9 G_DIETPI_VERSION_SUB=6 G_DIETPI_VERSION_RC=1 G_GITBRANCH='master' G_GITOWNER= 'MichaIng'

  • Distro version | bullseye

  • Kernel version | Linux DietPi 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx #1 SMP Wed Jul 10 09:57:26 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux

  • Architecture | arm64

  • SBC model | ROCK 5B (aarch64)

  • Power supply used | Anker Nano II 65W Model A2663

  • SD card used | SanDisk Extreme Plus 128GB

Additional Information (if applicable)

  • Bug report ID | bdd56af7-08a0-468a-a126-8285cd65749d

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run dietpi-update

Expected behaviour

  • Update completes without issue, all is well, angels sing.

Actual behaviour

  • I had my unit running headless over CAT5 - during the update process I believe I accepted updating kernel elements or something specific to the RK3588 architecture. After I was not able to SSH into the machine.
  • I unplugged the machine from it’s usual location and plugged it into my workstation monitor so I could see the machine’s output. I enabled Wi-Fi over dietpi-config as I do not have hardwired internet at this location. I tried running the update again but it failed to complete.
  • I then formatted my SD card (I know I should have made a bug report then silly me) and copied the latest dietpi Rock5B image to it and then placed back into the machine
  • I mounted the NVME on the machine and used dietpi-backup to try and restore the backup I had on the NVME.
  • The machine still appears to be having issues.

Extra details

  • I believe I submitted a bug report (see bug report ID above) however shortly after I was no longer able to connect to network via Wi-Fi - let me know if bug report did not go through and I will attempt again.
  • Thank you!

Better go for original software, Armbian.

Bump

What issues do you still have?

Can you share the error message which came with the failed update process?
