Hello Peter,    sorry for the delay. Here's my enviroment:  Rock5b with  - Radxa Wireless Module A8  - Radxa PowerPower PD 30W  - 1 TB NVME, no EMMC-Card  - your bootloader u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin flashed to SPI  - Fedora 41 Beta on NVME    I've tested Armbian_24.8.1_Rock-5b_jammy_current_6.10.6_kde-neon-kisak_desktop.img.xz and and other *img.xz Image to boot on this system: no success. It only boots installed Fedora 41 Beta system.  

  I don't care about Armbian, I have no idea what they put on their  images, Armbian is off topic for this list.    

Only images which comes as iso image are bootable. Output via serial console. I have to search for a bootable image with support for /dev/mtdblock0  

  What Fedora images did you test? What do you mean by "bootable image  with support for mtdblock0"? You should be able to reflash from the  U-Boot shell.  

You're right with reflash from U-Boot shell, but I couldn't manage it.

How do I get u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin or another SPI Image to the mmc card and load it ?

From the U-Boot menu I choose Exit but

=> ls mmc 1:1

0 file(s), 0 dir(s)

=>

Could I get a little bit of help to go further ?

Question: is there any timeline for support of HDMI output?  

  You'd have to ask upstream, it didn't make 6.12-rc1 so the next window  is the 6.13 merge window which will be in about 2 months so maybe  early next year? How long is a piece of string.... the patchset that  is currently posted is the just the basic driver, no DT etc. Once  something looks sane I may add it to my a64 kernel I build in copr to  make it easier to consume but even there isn't soon.
