How to install NVIDIA Graphic Card on LX2160A

Reporting back that I’ve updated my HoneyComb to Ubuntu 24.04.3 and it works fine with the 535 driver. I use in server mode, no GUI.

Tried updating the driver to 570 but the GPU is not detected. Reverted to 535 and it’s fine again.

Looks like i will need to chose a card that’s not RTX5000 series then, as it doesn’t matter what I try with the 5060 it refuses to work. I have just also tried the uboot firmware from the Solidrun FTP and that doesn’t even list my NVME drive or NVIDIA card in it’s entirity.

U-Boot based reference BSP did not support booting from NVME, nor does the ubuntu based reference rootfs support GPUs.The only two options with a chance of success are:

  1. The UEFI/ACPI firmware you have tried, with a generic distro of choice
  2. The latest U-Boot based BSP, with Debian 13: debian-builder/README.arm64.md at develop-pure · SolidRun/debian-builder · GitHub

Option 2 must use the unreleased (still under development) bootloader (version ls-6.6.52-2.2.0),
and patch the device-tree for supporting pci bars greater than 1GB.

I have tested an old GTX 750, and the proprietary drivers loaded, but then fail with some timeouts to drive the display.
Attached patched dtb specifically for debian-13 release. Install into /etc/flash-kernel/dtbs, then re-run sudo flash-kernel and reboot: debian-13-lx2160-dtb-pci-patch.zip
