The rk3588s in the nanopi-r6c is not supported by the standard debian 6.1 kernel, this error is normal. This image has a patched 6.7-rc7 kernel. There is an updated kernel here if you are interested: https://github.com/inindev/linux-rockchip/releases/tag/v6.7.0

wget https://github.com/inindev/linux-rockchip/releases/download/v6.7.0/linux-image-6.7.0-1-arm64_6.7.0-1_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-6.7.0-1-arm64_6.7.0-1_arm64.deb

Hello, thank you for your answer.

It did not work

As indicated in the other post, I will try to see how to limit the kernel version to avoid this type of problem.

[inindev]

I published the 6.9.2 kernel if you want to give it a try: https://github.com/inindev/linux-rockchip/releases

[visicon-masc]

Is it mandatory to install linux-libc-dev_x.y.z_arm64.deb alongside with the kernel?

[inindev]

It is not mandatory. That package provides user space headers for the linux kernel: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/linux-libc-dev

The only package you need is the kernel image deb.

I just published a new kernel yesterday which may be of interest to you:

linux kernel v6.9.5 arm64 inindev https://github.com/inindev/linux-rockchip/releases

wget https://github.com/inindev/linux-rockchip/releases/download/v6.9.5/linux-image-6.9.5-1-arm64_6.9.5-1_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-6.9.5-1-arm64_6.9.5-1_arm64.deb

as an aside, you can list and cleanup old kernels this way:

sudo apt list --installed | grep linux-image
sudo apt purge linux-image-6.x.xx-arm64
