Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

I would guess you have fiddled with /etc/fstab or copied your root partition from elsewhere without fiddling with your /etc/fstab. Or maybe /boot/armbianEnv.txt At any rate, the kernel is looking for a partition with UUID=0b77.... to mount at / but isn't finding it. So you need to either change the UUID it is looking for to the one your root partition has, or change your root partition to have the UUID it is looking for.

I am trying to work out how to add a 2560x1400 mode to the ViewSonic 32" 2560x1440 (16:9) display configuration that is not listed on the display settings configuration and should be there. Any tips on updating the configuration file, locally and then as a patch to Armbian please ?

Still working on HDMI audio, with some updates. Pulseaudio default sink set correctly. Fisrt of all the issue appears only on my home TV. Tested with other TV sound seems ok. HDMI port works with other device (my notebook) kernel 6.6.47-current Armbian v24.8.4 -> no hdmi audio kernel 6.6.2-edge Armbian v23.11.1 -> no hdmi audio kernel 6.8.11-edge Armbian v24.8.4 -> no hdmi audio kernel 6.11.0-edge Armbian v24.8.4 -> no hdmi audio kernel 6.1.63-current Armbian v23.11.1 -> hdmi audio OK still working on ..

Hi, have same issue with radxa zero 3w, error messages cannot fork, or resource unavailable, kernel 6.1.75. But only when desktop is installed, with only server version it is fine.

The last reported success was with Debian Bookworm, in a comment from July 23... can you repeat the experiment with an OS image from before that date? (I don't have access to my orange pi zero 3 for a few days)

So the conclusion is, that on PWM2 (GPIO2_A6) is connected Power Management IC (RK805-1) INT pin, so it's not available for PWM, genius...

Thank you very much! Now we can assume that I will disappear from the horizon for several months of study.🤗

Howdy y'all. (It's something people in southern USA say). hehe. I want to eventually setup a mini NAS server via Gigabit ethernet using this device. So, I recently purchased this same tv box as @Yvan P. described and I successfully installed Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.273_Aml-s9xx-box_oracular_edge_6.11.3 (2.64 GB img file). It was more time consuming and challenging than I originally thought. I'll explain. My box included Android firmware version PPR1.180610.11.20230208 and Kernel 4.9.113 built on 08FEB2023. Trying to boot any custom OS like Armbian via SD card in TF slot or USB flash drive in either 2.0 port or 3.0 just boot looped the H96 logo again 'n again. I had to downgrade the firmware. I followed instructions that I found on github here and on xda-developers here, but I used an alternative method in TWRP. *The following is a LONG explanation. Get ready! ☺ Download the 2022 firmware file as a zip or img, (another copy here) the Amlogic Bootcard maker and TWRP. Prepare a micro SD card with one partition, formatted as FAT32. Also prepare a USB flash drive (or USB card reader) with one partition, formatted as FAT32. Copy the 20220516 firmware file to the USB flash drive. Make the SD card bootable with Amlogic Bootcard maker or Burn card maker software. Copy recovery-twrp_x96max-20220601-1253.img to the root of the SD card and rename the file to recovery.img on the SD card. With power cord disconnected, tv box off, Insert SD card in TF slot of tv box, and insert USB flash into the USB 2.0 port. Connect a USB mouse to the blue USB 3.0 port so you can click on buttons. Use a toothpick to press and hold the reset button inside the 3.5mm AV port. Keep holding the AV button and connect the power cord. Keep holding button until TWRP appears on screen, and swipe right to allow modifications. Recommended to backup all the partitions here to the SD card or USB flash drive, and keep a the second copy somewhere safe, especially Recovery. Under "select partitions for backup" make sure they don't say "0MB". If they do, then there is a problem and you shouldn't continue - stop. Troubleshoot and fix the problem - ask questions online. Otherwise, continue... ☺ For backup of the existing firmware, click Backup, Select Storage and choose the Micro SD card or USB OTG (##MB). Select all partitions and swipe right to do the backup. No need for compression. Wait. Go back to the main menu with back (bottom left corner), and select Install. Click Select Storage then select USB OTG (##MB), and OK button. Depending on which firmware file you want to use, the "franklin-ota-eng.qmx_srv.zip" file should appear. Or click Install Image and the ""AML_user_H96MaxX3_9_20220516.1821.img" file should appear. Click on the file, and swipe right to do the install. Wait, and do not do anything until you see IMAGE FLASH COMPLETED. After you see the COMPLETED message, remove the SD card and USB flash drive and go to the main menu and click Reboot, System. Let Android boot, and check the version of Android in the settings. It should be PPR1.180610.011.20220516 and kernel 4.9.113, May 16 2022. Now we can boot Armbian from the SD card and make sure it works, updates and reboots properly. I used the standard instructions for writing an Armbian image to a SD card. I selected the server image "Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.273_Aml-s9xx-box_oracular_edge_6.11.3.img". Copied u-boot-s905x3 to u-boot.ext, and set /dtb/amlogic/meson-sm1-h96-max.dtb in extlinux.conf . I disconnected power cord, inserted SD card into TF, held reset button in the audio jack, and connected power cord still holding the button for 15 seconds. Armbian logo came up and I released the button. All 4GB RAM (3.69GB usable) is good, ethernet is good at 1 Gigabit, but there is no sound, no bluetooth and no wifi. That's alright because I will use this as a mini NAS server and maybe an ad blocking DNS server via Gigabit ethernet. I froze the kernel in armbian-config, ran "apt update" and rebooted. There were some error messages about initramfs but nothing bad. It rebooted and started alright. For smoother 'n faster data transfer, I should replace my cheap old cat5e cables and probably get a better and brand-name gigabit switch. I hope this helps future aml tv box enthusiasts 🐧.

Thank you I will try to modify it for opiz3

I would vote to include it anyway, it's not like a service like samba, nextcloud or whatever service. When you use the chromium browser you will notice it soon there is something odd about the fonts, spacing is very big. The info of the packages says this: These are everyday fonts.

Good. I think I got it. You have already taken a ready-made rt core. Using the headers to this kernel, you compiled several drivers and got a kernel panic when running the test. Did I understand correctly? If this is the case, then it will be quite difficult for me to give any advice. I usually use full control. Build the kernel yourself. Preliminary application of patches. If there are problems with the kernel, then add a trace function. With respect.

If you installed the kernel from the repository as apt install, then simply copy the required DTB file from the folder "/usr/lib/kernel-version" to the folder "/boot/dtb-kernel-version/rockchip". For some reason, the linux-dtb package for this kernel does not contain DTB files.

yep, it's FX6, you have an idea?

I have been trying to download Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.6 for Jetson Nano of which the image size is 1.5gb. But the download always stopped at 200+MB. Anyone know why? Thank you.

Unbrick rk3229 TV-box X96q: (processor marked as S905W, but actually is not, software detects it as rk3229) For unbrick power off, short this two resistors (upper contacts) with screwdriver, power on, red led will be bright - remove screwdriver. Unbricked, you can load from SD-card now.

I have a RockPi 4c plus v1.41 with the Armbian Community version Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.202_Rockpi-4cplus_bookworm_current_6.6.53_minimal. Everything is okay, till i attach a dougther board (https://z-wave.me/products/razberry-old/) to the Rockpi. Normaly it boots fine from SDcard, but after attaching the that dougther board it won't boot anymore. It seems to stuck in uboot. I have done some boot logs, but everything before line 110 is identical WithDB.txt WithoutDB.txt

T95 Max+ (plus), 4 GB RAM / 32 GB ROM, S905×3 I successfully installed the system by following this guide by @Krypton and I updated it using sudo update -y && sudo upgrade -y but keeping kernel 6.1.11. The stereo sound is working fine through the cheap USB audio dongle. I installed pi-apps.io and installed some applications like Brave and PPSSPP emulator via pi-apps. I thank everyone here for the great guides, tips, files, and overall work done. ☺♥

Okay. I am going to try the smaller Noble and Oracular server images on my amlogic s905x3 device from that link. Thanks.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get a tool similar to MultiTool which will work with my X98H Pro Android 12 box? I would greatly appreciate any help with finding such a tool!!

Ok,I now Can start with sdhc : I installed and executed u-boot-menu.

First, you need to connect the pins correctly. They will be different for your board: Hardware Connection 232 PIN Raspberry Pi (BCM) Description VCC 5V 3.3/5V Power Input GND GND Ground SCLK P21 (SPI1 SCLK) SPI Clock Signal Input MOSI P20 (SPI1 MOSI) SPI Data Input MISO P19 (SPI1 MISO) SPI Data Output CS P18 (SPI1 CS) SPI Chip Select IRQ P24 Interrupt Output . You need to write the correct overlay file and compile it. Then this instruction.

Hi! I love your guide, this is exactly what I need. I tried it with CM3588 Plus and it's 3 different armbian images available here. The script executed fine. There was a hickup at step 16. some stubborn mounts did not want to unmount and also AI says that the command should be more like this: 'mount | awk '/restore/{print $3}' | sort -r | xargs -I {} umount {}'. 😁 But I cannot boot the system. I was wondering how do you get bootloader to ask for a password to open the root partition to be accessed. All I get is this:
