  1. balbes150, I'd like to thank you for the time and work that you have put into the Armbian project. It is amazing that I can get even more life out of my old box. I'm not asking for any help or fixes for any issues below, I'm just wanting to give some feedback. (But if you have a link on how I could find the correct compatible flags and parameters, I'd appreciate it. Or do you have to read the datasheet for each part?) Below are my experiences when using your builds on a Minix X8-h Plus (S812H SOC, 16GB NAND, 2GB RAM) I have installed the 3.10.108 and the more recent 4.16-4.19 versions on my Minix X8-H Plus device. All of them have booted successfully and are completely usable, but have a few issues that is probably due to a mismatched dtb file. I'm planning to use the system as a headless server, so audio/graphics weren't tested. The dumps of the 6 dtb files from the original Android boot.img file and UART logs for the following builds are available if anyone finds them useful. The X8-H Plus is an S812-H device (2GB RAM, 16GB NAND) with the following components (visual inspection): Ethernet: RTL8211F Wifi/Bluetooth: AP6335 Power Controller: Ricoh RN5T6128M (UART says it's a RN5T618) USB Hub Controller: GL852G De-compiled Android DTB file (original version in link above) Armbian_5.44_S812_Debian_stretch_3.10.108_server_20180521 Using 'meson8m2_n200_2G.dtb' Seeing only 1.5GB out of 2GB of RAM Internal storage is accessible, but unable to successfully install and boot from NAND Unable to boot without HDMI cable plugged in. -- You previously said that the service would need to be disabled by a kernel rebuild. I'm going to try using a dummy HDMI plug once delivered. UART Log Armbian_5.41_S812_Ubuntu_xenial_4.16.0-rc6_server_20180402 Armbian_5.41.1_S812_Ubuntu_xenial_4.17.0-rc3_server_20180502 Armbian_5.64_Aml-s812_Debian_XXXX_next_4.19.0-rc8_20181022 Using 'meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dtb' Seeing full 2GB RAM Internal storage is inaccessible - I believe you have said this is expected for kernel version 4.x Ethernet MAC address changes on every boot (DTB issue or kernel not reading uboot correctly?)
