Use the 1203 DTB to boot the armbian system and the R5C network port status indicator does not blink

Can you provide ideas? use cat led-lan*/linux,default-trigger invalid

Are you saying there was a .dtb version that did work at one point?

I do not run Armbian so I do not have first-hand experience with it. Is there an advantage running Armbian over Debian for the R5C?

I am surprised that it is not possible to switch to ARMBIAN? ARMBIAN is used because some drivers do not need to be compiled directly.

There was a similar discussion yesterday with Red Hat Linux and @arbv was able to figure it out. This thread may be of use to you: https://github.com/inindev/nanopi-r5/issues/18

@inindev Just a clarification: not Red Hat, but NixOS. Though, it is hardly distro specific.

@kongjun0 The point is that the right DTB file was not loaded and passed to the kernel.

Is there a solution to this problem?

@kongjun0 Go read the thread: https://github.com/inindev/nanopi-r5/issues/18 Everything you need is there towards the end of the thread. The DTB file for your device is available in the download section of the project.

Is there still an open question on this issue or should it be closed?
