I managed to boot armbian from SD card without eMMC. The way achived this is by create a bootable insomwrt with venodr u boot, using my script `./run.sh custom` then replace the ROOTFS with armbian's ROOTFS from there I could boot armbian and fix the fstab. So far it's working fine root@aml-s9xx-box:~# lsblk -f NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS mmcblk1 ├─mmcblk1p1 vfat FAT16 BOOT 1C34-0D25 200.9M 18% /boot └─mmcblk1p2 ext4 1.0 ROOTFS 6f2edfb1-adb2-4f1b-8087-46d189763c9b 5.2G 20% /var/log.hdd / zram0 root@aml-s9xx-box:~# uname -a Linux aml-s9xx-box 6.1.66-DBAI #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 29 09:52:27 +07 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux root@aml-s9xx-box:~# uptime 01:44:24 up 19 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 root@aml-s9xx-box:~# cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.563 trixie" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="13" VERSION="13 (trixie)" VERSION_CODENAME=trixie DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.3 ID=debian HOME_URL="https://www.armbian.com" SUPPORT_URL="https://forum.armbian.com" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://www.armbian.com/bugs" ARMBIAN_PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.563 trixie" root@aml-s9xx-box:~#

Looks like only one HDMI port and one NVMe drive bays work on the edge kernels. Not sure whats wrong with HDMI port but two SSDs installed cause issues PCIE addressing. Probably overlay issue with the newer kernel images?

Howdy hey. What do you guys think of this Android TV Box Q19 Android16 Allwinner H618 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011785087357.html it does claim 8GB ram and price is ~40 euro ? or 95 TV Box Android14 Allwinner H616 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009496923463.html which one is a better bet?

I tried the nightly build, and I'm happy with the result. Vulkan and OpenGL are still running on the CPU, but I'll try newer images in the future. I did a quick test with Yamagi Quake 2. OpenGL 1.4 doesn't even get 60fps at 640x480, but it looks playable. Should run a lot faster once we can run Vulkan on the GPU. https://github.com/yquake2/yquake2/blob/master/doc/020_installation.md This the make command I used: make WITH_GLES1=yes WITH_SDL3=no -j4 I also tested Stable Diffusion XL Turbo with OnnxStream. Image generated in 7m27s. Looks like the CPU performance is as expected. You do need gcc-14 and g++-14. They are available in the repository. https://github.com/vitoplantamura/OnnxStream You need to change the architecture string in CMakeLists.txt. -march=rv64gcv

@Nick A Apologies for going a bit off topic but I've been searching for the SWT6621S driver source for my open source project, and your post is approximately the only reference to it I'm finding. is there any chance you could share? I've attempted to contact the same person you were successful with but as of yet no response.
