Issue with Arch Linux image for Radxa Zero 3W

[Dontu1]

Hello,

I’m having an issue with the Arch Linux image for the Radxa Zero 3W. I’m using Balena Etcher to flash the image onto an SD card. However, once I insert the SD card into the Radxa Zero 3W, the board does not boot — the screen stays black.

I connected to the board through the serial debug pins to check the U-Boot messages, and I noticed that it gets stuck during kernel boot. I tried changing the DTB file using the command:

setenv fdtfile rockchip/rk3566-radxa-zero3-ap6212.dtb

After that, the Arch Linux installation screen appeared. However, during installation, I encountered many errors — most likely due to the DTB I selected (I’ve included the errors below). It seems that this DTB is not fully compatible with the board, but it’s the only one among the three Radxa Zero DTBs that actually boots Arch.

Could you please help me figure out which DTB or configuration would work properly for the Radxa Zero 3W?

Thank you very much for your time and help!
