Did you download the Debian image from Orange Pi website directly? If so, please try with the Armbian Bookworm image, which also uses a much newer Linux version: https://www.armbian.com/orangepi3b/
This looks like a low hanging fruit for us to implement natively into DietPi. Just made an image request out of it.
I was confused that Orange Pi 3, 3 LTS, and 3B are such different SBCs. Only the latter uses the RK3566, the other two are Allwinner H6 😄.
Yes, I downloaded it from the Orange Pi website. If I understand correctly, you want me to try to download Armbian and run the dietepi script on it and see if it works?
I can't wait for native support, Thanks.
I understand this might be confusing. Anyways, thanks for the quick response. Now, the only thing left to do is wait.
@MichaIng a successful try at our forum https://dietpi.com/forum/t/orange-pi-3b-problem/18008/6?u=joulinar
Just out of curiosity, when will we be able to expect native support?
Hi What is needed to get native support? How to help?
Jesper
Support added with: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/commit/6336fc6 Test image builds are running and can be found here once done, in an hour or so: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/testing/
Would be great if someone could give the images a try, the Bookworm one if unsure. I do not expect surprises, but better be safe than sorry, since we do not own this device to test ourselves.
Hi
The image boot on my OPI3B, but i have no output on my 7" Bigtreetech LCD (1024x600@60). The screen works in armbian with legacy kernel 5.10.160. It does give output on my 1920x1080p monitor, so some problem with the 1024x600 mode or some DVI/HDMI feedback from the screen. I did try armbian with edge kernel, and it's the same problem.
Thanks
I guess with the Armbian edge images it is the same? https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi3b/archive/
The LCD is attached via HDMI, i.e. just the resolution wrong? For DSI LCDs it will be the same issue reported here: #6740
I also linked two other issues there regarding how to change console mode resolution (and rotation) for console mode, either via fbset
, or via video=
kernel command-line parameter, but needs testing.
sorry, I forgot to check the topic, and I didn't receive the notification either. If it is needed to test it, I can test it tomorrow
Hi
I cannot get wifi to work with onboard wifi. With my rpi usb wifi stick it works. And my 7" HDMI LCD is also not working. Tried with: extraargs=net.ifnames=0 video=HDMI-A-1:1024x600-24@60 in /boot/dietpiEnv.txt but it gives my this in dmesg:
[ 3.069590] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] User-defined mode not supported: "1024x600": 60 51200 1024 1192 1224 1344 600 615 621 635 0x68 0x5
[ 3.070903] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes
It's the same in Armbian mainline kernel. LCD works with legacy rockchip kernel.

Hello all! I tried the image and the on board wifi is not working either, nothing for wifi was detected through lspci and lshw. Maybe the driver for that is not there is the kernel?
Hello all! I tried the image and the on board wifi is not working either, nothing for wifi was detected through lspci and lshw. Maybe the driver for that is not there is the kernel?
from what I've been looking, the driver for this wireless WiFi card is at the kernel level
@Kenzu
Hmm, so EDID info shows 1024x600 is supported but kernel driver reports 1024x600 is not supported 🤔. Did you try to skip depth and frequency, hence only video=HDMI-A-1:1024x600
? AFAIK the others are optional.

Drivers on Linux are always kernel drivers 😉. Let's see whether the driver really is missing, or just the firmware, or it fails to load. Are there any kernel errors?
dmesg -l 0,1,2,3
I am not sure how it is internally attacked, hence it might be expected that lspci
does not show it.
Also check dmesg
whether there is any other info regarding detected (WiFi) devices.
Yes i did try without -24@60 and a lot of other combinations, but they all give:
[ 3.069590] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] User-defined mode not supported: "1024x600": 60 51200 1024 1192 1224 1344 600 615 621 635 0x68 0x5
[ 3.070903] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes
I don’t have time today to look at WiFi, but it works in armbian so we might be able to find the needed info there.
Jesper
Some info about WiFi chipset and driver.
Um.... Actually i had tried to install dietpi to the board through script from armbian and it was succeeded. https://dietpi.com/forum/t/orange-pi-3b-problem/18008/6?u=joulinar
The wifi was working with that image and most of the function i use seems to be normal. However, when i try to move it to my optane drive at e-key pcie slot then it failed to boot no matter how i flash the spi... It is strange....
When trying to boot the optane drive with official image from orangepi and the test image from dietpi, they were able to boot successfully. But then it seems the wifi was dropped....
Dmesg, lspci, lshw, iw and even lsmod shows no wireless interface, i think it suggest the driver was not compiled into kernel, not the firmware issues
Armbian provides "edge" images only, so probably it works with edge kernel, but not with "current" kernel. Can someone test this on a DietPi image (not converted):
apt install linux-{image,dtb}-edge-rockchip64
reboot
I tried that command on the bookworm and trixie images of dietpi for the 3b. After the reboot command my device gets stuck on a black screen and won't boot up again.

maybe you can try to rescue the system through mounting the sd card on another linux machine, then editing /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf . Change the default to original kernel and try to boot it again.

I ended up using the image you shared in another thread and everything works, so I'm sticking with that one.
I am glad to hear that, however, that image cannot boot my optane disk.... That's annoyed me... I would try to get an updated image for that...
I used the Bookworm version from 12/31/23 that's available on https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/testing/ and from what I can tell it's working fine. Built-in ethernet works straight out of the gate, hdmi thus far has worked fine. Did you guys erase your old u-boot from SPI before trying DietPi? My guess is you're booting with the wrong u-boot and you need to wipe that out.
HDMI problems 9 times outta 10 are caused by P.O.S. cables. Try a better cable?
WiFi doesn't work because the wifi module doesn't get loaded.
type modprobe sprdwl_ng
now you have WiFi. You can use a systemd service to do that at boot-time.
from Armbian: See Here
[Unit]
Description=WIFI AW859A
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/sbin/modprobe sprdwl_ng
TimeoutSec=0
RemainAfterExit=yes
SysVStartPriority=99
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Bluetooth might not work. I didn't test it, I have no need for it. But, I saw info about it while fixing WiFi so, i'll include what I know.
# Bluetooth on orangepi3b board is handled by a Spreadtrum (sprd) chip and requires
# a custom hciattach_opi binary, plus a systemd service to run it at boot time
install -m 755 hciattach_opi /usr/bin
cp sprd-bluetooth.service /lib/systemd/system/
.......
systemctl enable sprd-bluetooth.service
Those files are here: hciattach_opi sprd-bluetooth.service
Built
Nice to learn that wifi is back! But it sound strange that I need to load the wifi manually as they are usually detected and loaded during boot-up. Anyways it at least got a workaround! Thanks for sharing!
I agree that a systemd service to load the wifi module seems... excessive. But that's the way Armbian does it.
F.W.I.W: the official orangepi-build uses a "more normal(?)" method of doing it; they add the following two entries in /etc/modules
:
sprdbt_tty
sprdwl_ng
In case you want to see more about their method, have a look at scripts/distributions.sh Line 74 (for the /etc/modules file) and line 797 (Where they (possibly?) add it to initrd. Unverified if it's added to initrd)
The official orangepi-build appears to use a systemd service for the bluetooth helper app, much like Armbian. Interestingly, the services are setup quite differently between the two. See here
Ah nice, so it is the same as on Orange Pi Zero 3, where we add these modules already when WiFi/BT is enabled. The _tty
one is for Bluetooth only, btw. Yeah, the systemd unit from Armbian is kinda overkill given one can use a /etc/modules-load.d
config to have it done more naturally, but in the end both does exactly the same.
I'll have the code we already use for Orange Pi Zero 3 running for Orange Pi 3B then as well, probably with a condition in both cases that the module must exist, so that we can move to mainline kernel without having the scripts broken.
Can confirm that using "modprobe sprdwl_ng" on a fresh install of the bookworm test image enables wifi. Still had to use Ethernet to set it up but all is working now.
Onboard WiFi/BT will work with next version: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/commit/d53811d
About the potential SPI bootloader issue: Those where the image does not boot (at all, not just blank HDMI), do you have a USB-UART adapter to check serial console output? Probably there is some syntax in our boot.scr
which is not understood by the vendor bootloader and which we can adjust. We did so for Odroid N2/C4 as well with their strange pre-installed petitboot SPI bootloader.
Last time I tried, armbian base seems like it have a problem with ethernet packet loss when running ookla speedtest, but this problem does not occur with the official build. @disablewong Can you confirm this problem still exists ?
I'll mark this as closed. Orange Pi 3B images have been added to download page. For any existing or new problem, please open a new issue.
How would I go about making a dietpi image with linux-rk35xx-legacy kernel 5.10.160 from armbian? That works with my 7” lcd in 1024x600.
Thanks
You can just install the legacy kernel afterwards:
apt install linux-{image,dtb}-legacy-rk35xx
reboot
In case, remove the "edge" one:
apt autopurge linux-{image,dtb}-edge-rockchip64
Does NVMe work for you guys?
Does NVMe work for you guys?
Not for me.
It worked for me after installing nvme-utils (I don’t remember exactly the name of the package and can’t check it now) and rebooting.
You mean nvme-cli
? Hmm, this is for managing and monitoring NVMe drives, but not a driver for general access of NVMe drives. No other NVMe-capable SBC requires userland tools or libraries to access and mount NVMe drives 🤔.
maybe it's just my problem, I don't know, I have one WD Black sn720 drive, it is not detected in general (lspci or any other command does not display it) but it also heats up, and the second drive is adata sx8200pro which is detected by lspci but not by others commands, e.g. those that display partitions and disks, also get warm
Yes, nvme-cli
. I was surprised myself, but in my case it worked. SSDs from WD and Gudga began to be detected, before that even lspci
had not seen them. Perhaps he downloaded some drivers as a dependency, I don’t remember now.
But I remember, I did a lot of experiments to make support for SSD drives, and when I found a solution, I reinstalled DietPi from scratch, after that the first thing I did was install nvme-cli
, reboot, and everything worked immediately. Block devices /dev/nvme*
appeared.
Perhaps he downloaded some drivers as a dependency
It does not. If it was not even detected via lspci
, then a missing driver was not the reason. Probably some coincidence and actually flaky physical connectivity or voltage/powering was the issue.
No, everything was fine with the physical connectivity. I checked on two different SSD. I also tested on Armbian - and it was after Armbian detected it that I realized the device was working, so I went back to my research with DietPi.
It seems hit or miss to me. I have an NVME that started going bad that appears to work on my OPi-3B (at least until data fills up to the failure point in the chip) and I have an El Cheapo no-name generic that doesn't seem to be detected whatsoever by my OPi-3B, but works fine in my other PCs. My biggest problem is, now that it's far too late to return my OPi-3B to Amazon from whence it came, the Ethernet port doesn't work anymore. Not even with the official Orange Pi builds. The LEDs light up but there's no connection, the device is unseen by the OS (all of them that I've tried). I think the Ethernet chip took a shiitake and died. I feel like I've seen other people on forums someplace with the same.
Sorry just read this email. I am using Optane m10 on my orangepi 3b and it works well for me. I am using it as the boot disk.
For those where it does not work well, I generated new kernel and U-Boot packages, to test whether those changed something. Next test would be to test with the Rockchip vendor kernel based on Linux 6.1:
cd /tmp
wget https://dietpi.com/downloads/binaries/testing/linux-{image,dtb}-edge-rockchip64.deb https://dietpi.com/downloads/binaries/testing/linux-u-boot-orangepi3b-edge.deb
dpkg -i linux-{image,dtb}-edge-rockchip64.deb linux-u-boot-orangepi3b-edge.deb
rm linux-{image,dtb}-edge-rockchip64.deb linux-u-boot-orangepi3b-edge.deb
source /usr/lib/u-boot/platform_install.sh
write_uboot_platform "$DIR" "$(lsblk -npo PKNAME "$G_ROOTFS_DEV")"
write_uboot_platform_mtd
I actually missed that of course the SPI bootloader is used for NVMe boot, hence the last command is essential.
