Hi help me please to find firmware for laptop, I Flashed ubuntu-24.04-preinstalled-desktop-arm64-coolpi-0926.img from google and it does not boot.

@Momo-0 said in Cool Pi Cm5-Laptop Linux Quick Start Guide:

@mainbord for me currently only the Debian image works

Thanks, 11 debian booted. Because this is an old image.

@mainbord
I boot from ubuntu 24.04 hdmi and usb 2.0 works. Usbc wi-fi and lcd do not work. This image not for laptop. Latest kernel source not for laptop too.

Armbian (Ubuntu) fully works from source code.
Vendor Kernel with some fixes;

I use amd laptop to build image;

get source code
git clone https://github.com/armbian/build.git

install docker

download and apply git patch (genbook, sound, touchpad and battery patch)
genbook,_sound,_touchpad_and_battery_patch.patch

then compile
./compile.sh build BOARD=coolpi-genbook BRANCH=vendor BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED='browsers chat desktop_tools editors email internet multimedia office programming remote_desktop' DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=gnome DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base DOWNLOAD_MIRROR=bfsu EXPERT=yes EXTRAWIFI=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=resolute BUILD_IN_DOCKER=yes

and flash img

wireless, usb-c, touchpad, sound, hdmi, display, battery works

It's a second life
Linux coolpi-genbook 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx #1 SMP Wed Jul 15 20:32:36 UTC 2026 aarch64 GNU/Linux
