I was unable to test it with VMware, as there is still no solution for the compile fail with 6.5-rc: ………………………..

Not specifically Linux-related, but a frustration nonetheless.. This is documented elsewhere, but is often buried in other posts/articles/opinions.. Connecting a UART/USB cable/adapter to a SOC should be relatively simple, except that certain vendors now insist on a default speed of 1500000 instead of the traditional 115200.. I have been testing one of the ‘new’ RK3588-based systems, and … Continue reading →

I had managed to get Fedora running on my Rock Pi N10 some considerable time ago, but still was frustrated by the – apparent – lack of support for NVME, despite the slot for one in the chassis, and u-boot commands included.. I had posted this question to the RADXA Forum, but did not get a useful … Continue reading →
