08:34 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Hello, Is there any way to overclock an Orange Pi 5 Ultra CPU beyond 2.4GHz for the main cores? Running Armbian Minimal weekly for OPI5 Ultra. Also i could not get the fan header to work, if anyone knows how to make that work, that would also be great

08:41 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Hello, Is there any way to overclock an Orange Pi 5 Ultra CPU beyond 2.4GHz for the main cores? Running Armbian Minimal weekly for OPI5 Ultra.

10:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> none without modifying the device tree, adding custom opp nodes and taking the risk of frying your board. Under the bottom line it is most likely not worth.

10:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> You should look into https://sbcwiki.com/news/articles/tune-your-rk3588/ DDR5 Ram overclocking for 20% performance boost

10:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Alright i'll look into it. Thanks

10:25 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Im following the guide but i do not see the RK3588-opp-oc-24ghz option for the cpu

10:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> also im looking to push the cpu beyond 2.4ghz

10:41 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> I don’t think anyone was able to do that

10:42 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> oh no. Was hoping i could since the pi 5 has the same main cores and has the ability to Overclock

10:43 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> maybe you’re missing an update? There was an older version where the overlay wasn’t bundled in. Else just download it from the armbian/linux-rockchip overlay folder and add it manually

10:43 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> different process nodes etc. just the cores being the same doesn’t make them the same

10:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Just what i was afraid to hear, that's quite the expensive screw up on my end hahaha...

10:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Where do i find the overlay folder and the downloads?

10:49 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> roughly boot/arm64/rockchip/overlay

10:51 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Alright so where do i find the RK3588 opp overlay? Since i don't have one in here surprisingly

10:52 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> also how do i make my own overlay by that extension, might see if it is possible to make a 3ghz overlay or smt

10:52 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> also how do i make my own overlay by that extension, might see if it is possible to make a 3ghz overlay or smt unless i do not understand something fundamentally

10:53 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip also don’t want to be rude but if you don’t know your way around this you shouldn’t try overclocking as you will brick it with what you’re trying to do with values above we determined before

10:53 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> something like 3ghz simply isn’t possible as that SoC wasn’t made for that

10:54 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> I see, thanks for the heads up. Guess i might have to figure out another application to use the opi 5 ultra hahaha..

10:54 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> Jellyfin would be a great start ;)

10:56 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Perhaps thanks. Original intent was to replace my Rpi 5 with the opi5 ultra for running a modded minecraft server, hence why i asked if it is possible to OC

10:58 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> 2.4ghz is best what should work fairly stable. Some sort of cooling is mandatory

10:59 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> I have a 25x25 heatsink with a fan on it

10:59 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> hopefully that is enough

11:00 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> With ram oc and cpu oc you should be able to do that no problem. At least better than the RPI5 but modded minecraft servers require high single core performance rather seen in ryzen or epyc 4004/5 cpu‘s

11:00 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> even server arm isn’t ideal for that

11:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Yeah call me a fool but i bought it simply because it was fun to muck around in a pi and to put it into a north pi mini case lol

11:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> arm cpu‘s are made for multi core applications like database and basic homelab

11:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> i am already ordering a mini pc with a a much better Ryzen 5825U CPU

11:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> i am already ordering a mini pc with\ a much better Ryzen 5825U CPU

11:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> i am already ordering a mini pc with a much better Ryzen 5825U CPU

11:02 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> That makes a lot of sense now that you mentioned it

11:02 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> Theres still fun projects you can do with it. Its like the best jellyfin server you can do for 99.99% of homelabs and just hosting random docker containers like home assistant, paperless-ngx, dns adblock,….

11:02 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Hopefully so, cause i managed to OC my pi to 3.1GHz but no ram OC cause i have no idea how to do that

11:03 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Yeah i might try jellyfin, otherwise i'd have a very expensive paper weight 👀

11:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Also i still could not find that overlay file. Also the wifi is not working and im unsure if that is also another missing overlay

11:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> nevermind, i found the 24ghz overlay

11:27 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Hey I tried to compile the overlay butr im given the warning of "No space left on device. Thing is, i have a 500GB ssd so i have no idea how it has no space.

12:22 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> Please do `pwd`

12:23 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> And paste your compile command

12:24 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> Also, overclocking for the sake of overclocking... Not sure why do it tbh, but to each their own

12:54 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684284070789130/1383067066013192304/image.png?ex=684d7114&is=684c1f94&hm=0761ebc6b69ab0eb4bc6d4c60d1d3d8066b03ee6136ea29545bb32329a0739ed&

12:54 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> `sudo armbian-add-overlay rockchip-rk3588-opp-oc-24ghz.dts`

12:55 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> as root

12:55 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> im following armbian docs

12:59 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Nevermind it worked after reboot

13:00 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Something about tmpfs being full

13:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> I don't usually use the root account

13:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> sudo alone is safer

13:02 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Well line 4 of armbian docs says `Compile and activate the overlay by running armbian-add-overlay <overlay_file.dts> as root, i.e. sudo armbian-add-overlay sht15.dts`

13:02 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> running as root so i assumed it wanted root user

13:03 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> you shouldn't use `sudo` as root, `sudo` runs the specified command as root

13:03 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Ah, I see

13:04 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Well lesson learned

13:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Yeah I get where you are coming from, issue is that last time i tried downclocking my Minecraft server on the rpi from 3ghz to 2.8 and it became unbearably laggy so im not sure if that is the 3ghz being funky, or the server needing 3ghz

13:15 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> There's nothing special about any frequencies

13:16 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> Especially in unrelated chips

13:16 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Alright, i'll test the server and see how it goes. Thanks for your input

13:16 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Alright, i'll test the server and see how it goes. Thanks for your input!

13:17 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> Keep in mind that you have 4 more cores on RK3588

13:17 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> And faster memory

13:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Yes, issue is, Minecraft is famously known as a single core program, or at least mostly

13:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> :sweating:

13:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> Ah. OK, I don't run this so don't know

13:19 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> All good hahaha. It's why i wanted to OC to get the most out of that one core

13:21 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> that's mostly down to runtime + tuning, there *are* ways to improve it

13:24 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Yup would be doing that too.

15:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Good news, server seems to be running a lot better! Thank you guys

15:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> hello ,newbie here , downloaded Armbian 25.5.1 Bookworm Minimal / IOT for orange 5 ,

15:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> boot on sdcard but root/1234 still not work , root/admin no working ,

15:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> ( i typped 1234 in login zone ,and i type correctly password ..... )

15:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> flashed image with raspberypi imager is may be the probleme ?

15:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> anyway : plug keyboard on device what is the password for orangepi ?

15:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> thank's

15:21 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> what user:pass have you been using exactly?

15:21 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> root 1234

15:22 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> that should work unless you've changed it, or provisioned through/root/.not_logged_in_yet

15:22 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> though i seem to recall first boot logging in automatically ¿

15:22 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> i have to made video ?

15:22 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> i take my iphone , download it flash it and boot and u will see

15:26 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> tijean are you using ssh?

15:33 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Just checking how did you burn the img to the sd card

15:34 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> new flash new version , simply no logued

15:34 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> this time im orange5@orange5

15:34 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> as in what soft ware did you use to flash the sd card

15:34 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> raspbery imagetr

15:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> raspbery imager ;but use custom image

15:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> used it before covid without problem

15:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Ah ok so did you flash it with "custom settings"

15:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> custom image

15:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> no custom setting

15:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684284070789130/1383107634122588240/image.png?ex=684d96dc&is=684c455c&hm=7a9d8f3c16c946f68b7a0afb7a7ad84e045f33020f8788d9feeb4510b381b3b9&

15:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> As in did you click no here

15:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> yes

15:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Hmm odd

15:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> then yeah root and 1234 should have worked

15:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> try flashing the SD card agai

15:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> again*

15:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> and are you using Armbian image

15:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> just upper yes

15:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> Armbian 25.5.1 Bookworm Minimal / IOT for orange 5

15:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> ok are you using SSH

15:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> putty

15:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> did you set username as root

15:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> r

15:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> no putty no work , i use keyboard on device

15:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> sorry

15:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> putty same root / 1234 refused

15:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> wait can you join vc

15:39 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Hmm did you connect the orange pi to your router with lan cable? I think there is some issue with wifi as mine is also not on wifi

15:40 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> device is in lan , putty connect to it , but password was refused

15:41 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> sorry slow 1 keyboard for 2 ... and try to folowing gemini but no solution too

15:42 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> so im on device , gemini say type exit to change user but im stay in @orangepi

15:42 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684284070789130/1383109240511791283/image.png?ex=684d985b&is=684c46db&hm=5703de9b286dc1a152df4ea0ca965d24f0c7f79c99722b7fe817683aadae6877&

15:43 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> This isn't armbian, did you download this from Orange Pi Website

15:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/

15:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <tijean.> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684284070789130/1383109899361452242/image.png?ex=684d98f8&is=684c4778&hm=356a61d8dd4b9d4b69d1bb3d972c0ff3219d79ed48d684872df483a2165fbc7f&

15:51 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> that is definitely the orange pi fork of Armbian, not actual armbian; what's the filename you've been flashing?

15:56 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> where can I find the final device tree source that gets compiled before generating the .img file ?

16:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Does anyone know how i can use maskrom to unbrick my pi lol. tried to OC my ram and it is bricked

16:27 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Does anyone know how i can use maskrom to unbrick my opi 5 ultra lol. tried to OC my ram and used the values on the website but i bricked it so i want to find out how to unbrick it

16:31 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <random_anon_cesar> Did a quick search and found this for the OrangePi5 Plus

16:31 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <random_anon_cesar> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684284070789130/1383121623976247317/Screen_Shot_2025-06-13_at_12.30.31_PM.png?ex=684da3e4&is=684c5264&hm=da33024fe2a7e8a5eeb79af7a2a4eef9ddab7aa28b24e3d5a2c69121c174ee45&

16:31 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <random_anon_cesar> https://forum.armbian.com/topic/26418-maskrom-erase-spi/

16:32 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> holding the maskrom button while booting should force an SD card boot *from memory*

16:33 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Yes im able to boot to maskrom and get my pc to recognize it, i just don't get what to do next

16:33 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684284070789130/1383122178244870234/IMG_8072.png?ex=684da468&is=684c52e8&hm=fc0e315fd9a44851885411d7a5d4df4cff98b690ec89390d5885165ebbe2203d&

16:34 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> it's the "manually write your idblock in backups using maskrom" that i don't understand

16:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <random_anon_cesar> I also found this ( ctrl+f maskrom)

16:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <random_anon_cesar> It looks like there's a utility you have to download on a windows pc to manually write the config back

16:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <random_anon_cesar> https://orangepi.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/OrangePi_5_RK3588S_User-Manual_v2.1.1.pdf

16:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> Yup i have the software, just wondering what config it wants

16:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> im just hoping it doesn't require a fresh install

16:40 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> thanks for the help tho

16:41 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> thanks for the help tho, will try once i'm awake

19:53 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> Just decompile it

19:54 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> but which one there is a ton, highlighted is my model, but is that it or there is more for the model

19:54 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684284070789130/1383172716055756921/image.png?ex=684dd379&is=684c81f9&hm=a0049187c7dbafc4deca23875ab5253ae140a94465c0a237139b38c5fd234d5d&

20:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> maskrom mode + rkdeveloptool

20:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> not this though

20:39 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> rkdeveloptool db rk3588..loader.bin

20:39 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> rkdeveloptool wl 0 …img

20:39 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> rkdeveloptool rd

20:42 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> you should also do rkdeveloptool ef before the wl 0 one

21:57 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> You're using the edge kernel?

21:59 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> These should be equivalent, I think /boot/dtb... is just a symlink now

21:59 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> yes

21:59 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> I think I found something here

21:59 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> `build/cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.14__rockchip64__arm64/scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/arm64/rockchip/.rk3588-rock-5b-plus.dtb.dts.tmp`

22:00 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> and seems it is a one huge file, so there is just one dbt at the end to look at

22:32 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> hey good morning

22:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <misty_cloud_> So this will install fresh linux? no way to recover?

23:19 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <dams0869> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684284070789130/1383224232313360496/Copie_decran_20250614_011543.png?ex=684e0374&is=684cb1f4&hm=5d4b28cd478d5346b3d3a0076bd45f6e0951197c02ce68af793a1cb68752bf3d&

23:43 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> yes, the dtbs will be in the folder only readable by root
