Altlinux test images (Russian Linux) for the Station M2\P2 platform (rk3566\rk3568). The principle of use is similar to the launch of Armbian.


1. Update the u-boot according to the instructions from the corresponding topic by model.



2. Download, unpack and burn the AltLinux image to the SD card. For the M2 model, edit the name of the DTB used in the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file (replace 8 with 6 in the DTB name).

3. Connect the SD card and turn on the power.


Please note that the images use the latest 5.16-rc3 core, which has just added support for HDMI output, and so far only one screen resolution of 1920x1080 is working. Please note, this is a very early version and a lot of functions are not working in it yet. So far, three versions are available - console (builder), IceWM and MATE.

universal images (for M2\P2, images work starting from the date >= 20220211)

The new version is 20220419.
A new procedure for preparing the system for an SD card (this option works independently, without an additional Armbian Sd card).
The procedure for preparing the system.
Download the image,

unpack it, burn it to the SD card.
Download the desired u-boot option

(pay attention - you need to carefully choose the correct version exactly for your model). Write the resulting u-boot image to the SD card.
I pay attention, this is important, the recording order must be strictly observed - the first to record the system image, the u-boot image is recorded strictly after recording the system image, immediately after recording the system image.

In trying to install Ubuntu on the NVMe SSD of the M2 the device does not start up anymore.If I am correct I might have tried to install in on the EMMc.However I can not instal any operation system onto the device.How should I proceed? Any help is truly welcome, thanks in advace.

Write in detail what you did (all the steps in detail), what image you used (full name, where you took it from).

Any ideas for putting Armbian on the SSD of the M2?

This topic is about AltLinux. Not to be confused with Armbian. There is no installation procedure for AltLinux in eMMC\NVMe yet (this is planned for future versions).

Good news. Added support for new universal images (20220211) AltLinux for Station M2\P2. Now you can run all images on M2\P2 with a 5.16 core. The new core runs HDMI USB LAN emc audio via HDMI
