  1. Thank you. Understood. Thought for a bit that increasing the size of the boot partition would make the updates work better. Yes this one here is still running at 1 Gb after updating. I did have errors on the second or third update and froze the build. I was able to utilize the 5XX builds with Wireless / Bluetooth running but not Gb Ethernet.
  2. Well posting out loud here figured it out. 1 - bios serial port settings were off. Here there are 4 serial ports out and none were enabled 2 - PFSense baud rate was incorrect All is well now. Apologies for the fuss.
  3. Hardware: 1 - NEO-8M GPS Satellite Positioning Module for Arduino STM32 C51 $7.49 USD on Ebay. NOTE it is using TTL output. Validated USB GPS connection to work fine. 2 - Uxcell a14041500ux1216 MAX232CSE Transfer Chip RS232 to TTL Converter Module COM Serial Board for $7.37 USD (Amazon) I connected PPS pin to Pin #1 on RS-232 interface. Using Linux connected USB port and RS-232 port to laptop. I see GPS chit chat fine on two serial intefaces. Using this for a new PFSense box QOTOM Mini PC. Transport ==> USB power coming from QOTOM Mini PC and RS-232 coming from GPS/TTL converter. NOTE: PFSense is BSD. I see only one serial interface using command line /dev: cat cuaU0 $GNTXT,01,01,02,u-blox AG - www.u-blox.com*4E $GNTXT,01,01,02,HW UBX-M8030 00080000*60 $GNTXT,01,01,02,ROM CORE 3.01 (107888)*2B $GNTXT,01,01,02,FWVER=SPG 3.01*46 $GNTXT,01,01,02,PROTVER=18.00*11 $GNTXT,01,01,02,GPS;GLO;GAL;BDS*77 $GNTXT,01,01,02,SBAS;IMES;QZSS*49 $GNTXT,01,01,02,GNSS OTP=GPS;GLO*37 $GNTXT,01,01,02,LLC=FFFFFFFF-FFFFFFFD-FFFFFFFF-FFFFFFFF-FFFFFFF9*50 $GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSUPERV=AC SD PDoS SR*3E $GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSTATUS=OK*25 $GNTXT,01,01,02,PF=3FF*4B This is coming from the USB serial connection (and power). I have the RS-232 9 Pin (from TTL to RS-232) plugged in to Quotom serial com port #1. I do not see this port using command line where as I saw this in Linux. If I power the GPS externally I see chatter from the RS-232 connection fine with Linux but not in BSD. Any suggestions? I am currently using a Sure GPS with a PPS modification on another PFSense box and it is working fine.
  4. I have left it running now for a few weeks and it runs fine. It did error out on one update and I rebooted it and updated it again and it is fine. NOTE: this is only for the T95Z Max S912 TVBox. Thinking though of freezing the updates now on it.... _____ ___ ____ _____ ____ ___ _ ____ |_ _/ _ \| ___|__ / / ___|/ _ \/ |___ \ | || (_) |___ \ / / \___ \ (_) | | __) | | | \__, |___) / /_ ___) \__, | |/ __/ |_| /_/|____/____| |____/ /_/|_|_____| Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.73 stable Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 3.14.29 System load: 1.45 1.29 1.22 Up time: 18:57 hours Memory usage: 10 % of 2733MB IP: 192.168.244.250 CPU temp: 35°C Usage of /: 29% of 29G [ Menu-driven system configuration (beta): sudo apt update && sudo apt install armbian-config ] Last login: Wed Jul 3 20:46:17 2019 from 192.168.244.232 root@HS3-ATL:~# Note that I updated the release version to indicate that it is a S912 as it kept going to showing a Rock64 on the update. I also found that I had a bad SD card running for a while which caused me much grief. This box is running Home Assistant, HomeSeer, Node Red, Mosquitto, Leviton OmniLinkBridge (MQTT) and testing with a Digi 8 port edgeport. So in addition it is running a connection to a UPB controller, ethernet ZWave, RFID. I am testing a LoRa RFID connection via two transievers with a range of 8 Km.

I have no keyboard, mouse or HDMI monitor connected to it. Note that the kernel is old: root@HS3-ATL:/boot# uname -a Linux HS3-ATL 3.14.29 #26 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 29 11:26:15 MSK 2018 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux It is only for this model TVBox S912. Rest of the S912 boxes are running with newest kernels just fine. IE: when trying a new kernel on this one the Gb NIC wasn't working and only wireless and bluetooth worked. Download and install this build for this box to work. (note that I never tried WLAN or Bluetooth with it and do not need it). It is listed as Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_3.14.29_server_20180729.img.xz dated 07292018. Going to kernels 4.X and 5.X did not work for me with this specific device. Never did boot it to Android or even looked. Maybe my approach was wrong? Any guidance on updating Android and extracting DTB file for use with Armbian would be appreciated. Just purchased a second BeeLink BT3 Pro here. NOT for TV rather just for Automation. Got the first one new for $65 and second one for $100. It is not worth the $150 that Amazon is selling them for. I do now see a similiar to BeeLink BT3 pro with an SSD card slow underneath for around $100. For KODI use have settled on using CoreElec with an old kernel just for the HD 4K features. For server use and no video have settled on currently posted kernel. Still liking the footprint versus the RPi (even the RPi 4).
  5. Seeing that CoreElect running: Linux ICS-X9T 3.14.29 #1 SMP Sun May 12 15:03:58 BST 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux Old kernel decided to try Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_3.14.29_server_20180729.img.xz. Interesting that it booted right up and ethernet interface is working fine now. I understand that the kernel is old but really all I want is this box to run Armbian Ubuntu Server. Not interested in using the wireless and or blue tooth interface at this time. ____ ___ / ___|/ _ \__ ____ ____ __ \___ \ (_) \ \/ /\ \/ /\ \/ / ___) \__, |> < > < > < |____/ /_//_/\_\/_/\_\/_/\_\ Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.44 user-built Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 3.14.29 System load: 1.14 0.78 0.34 Up time: 4 min Memory usage: 4 % of 2733MB IP: 192.168.244.250 CPU temp: 38°C Usage of /: 4% of 29G [ 0 security updates available, 202 updates total: apt upgrade ] Last check: 2019-06-21 09:52 Last login: Fri Jun 21 09:49:18 2019 from 192.168.244.232 root@HS3-ATL:~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP AUI BNC MII FIBRE ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: external Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: ug Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x0000003d (61) drv link timer ifdown ifup Link detected: yes Now I can move on to installing Docker and Home Assistant.

  7. Thank you amirul will give meson-gxm-q200.dtb a try. Odd thing is that for server mode on all of the other S912 boxes (3Gb, Gb NIC) the meson-gxm-khadas-vim2.dtb works great. IE: TicTid X9T Pro - S912 - 3Gb - Gb NIC TX9 Pro Amlogic S912 - 3Gb - Gb NIC It is only on this box (T95Z Max) that I cannot get the network ethernet running. I prefer to connect these boxes used as servers via their ethernet connection over their wireless connection. BTW Wireless is working perfectly. ifconfig eth0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether c4:2a:fe:36:11:32 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 579 bytes 79088 (79.0 KB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 20 eth0:avahi: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 169.254.5.7 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 169.254.255.255 ether c4:2a:fe:36:11:32 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) device interrupt 20 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) RX packets 880 bytes 65120 (65.1 KB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 880 bytes 65120 (65.1 KB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.244.252 netmask 255.255.255.128 broadcast 192.168.244.255 inet6 2601:244:4000:dc3:55cc:f13:e04e:f6a8 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global> inet6 2601:244:4000:dc3:3553:1ac8:be38:3e25 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global> inet6 fe80::944c:1fa5:37b0:bab2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 6c:21:a2:4e:68:d8 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 3273 bytes 4687586 (4.6 MB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 1123 bytes 110440 (110.4 KB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 Seeing the same with meson-gxm-q200.dtb file.

  11. Here just built a second PFSense box and testing out a new mini GPS (Arduino style) that has built in RS-232 and PPS signal. It is around $7 USD with free shipping on Ebay. My primary GPS / PPS is a modded Sure GPS. Tiny box DIN mounting this box. I know this doesn't have much to do with the TVBox / Armbian rather just a NTP time source for my home network.
  12. You are making me paranoid. All I do is run MS SAPI on the Windows 7 embedded. 5 voices as I collect SAPI voice fonts (multiple languages). I prefer to keep the voice TTS in house versus using the Amazon Alexa for TTS (although I am tinkering with it).
  13. @jianchunchen I wrote the image to an SD card, booted pressing the reset button and I was good to go. Specifically it was the server version: VIMs_Ubuntu-server-bionic_Linux-4.9_arm64_SD-USB_V20190604.7z I used Etcher to write the SD card on my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop. The above said one T95Z Max has turned out to be a "dud". It started to overheat a couple of weeks ago and when it is hot it doesn't work. Rather than open the case (break the seals) I have returned it. The other T95Z Max is running CoreElec and doing fine. The other two S912 TVBoxes have been working fine running in server mode / CoreElec and multitasking 24/7 with no problems. I like the power button on one of the S912's. Also now tinkering with the BeeLink BT3 Pro (Intel) computer. It's not an optimal TV watching box BUT it is a great tiny Ubuntu box running Ubuntu 18.04 and W7E (Oracle VB)
  14. Testing X9T Pro (S912 3Gb RAM Gb NIC) today with ARMBIAN 5.86 user-built Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 5.1.0-aml-s905 and using meson-gxm-vega-s96.dtb. Also tested desktop version. Boots fine. Network comes up. Looks like it talks IP6 just fine except that it cannot get to the armbian site on update using IP6. Wierd stuff with SSH. Reconfigured it and sometimes it just disconnects me. Disabled IP6 via armbian-config. Rebooted. Boot up got stuck in boot directory. Cold booted and it was OK and accessible via SSH. Using armbian-config installed desktop except that root ssh got locked. Redid the ssh config. Rebooted from console. Keep having issues with root and user ssh access. IE: disconnects randomly. Not sure what the issue is right now. For headless server use only care about the network connection. What is not needed is bluetooth or WLAN.
  15. Wanting to build a new Armbian server from a TV Box. Video is not a requirement here as the device will be headless. Just a quickie picture relating to the size of this box. I am impressed. It will be mounted inside of a security panel (Leviton Omni Pro 2) and serve as a console to said security panel using automation software. Ideally though want: - Gb NIC - 32 Gb eMMC - 4 Gb RAM Bluetooth and WLAN is nice to have but not necessary for my use. Been only tinkering here with Octocore ARM CPU TV boxes but not necessary. I am currently wanting to add a firewall (2nd NIC) and am familiar mostly with BSD PFSense and OpenWRT on a variety of devices. Currently doing this with a hardware modified micro router (NEXX) running OpenWRT. It is so small I can really just leave this device in place. Goal here is to install TV box inside of a combo automation / security media panel. The firewall would face current home LAN and may run a VPN server. Checking out Amazon see: 1 - Android 9.0 TV Box, 2019 H96 Max X2 4GB DDR4 Ram 32GB ROM 4K Smart TV Box Amlogic CPU HDMI 2.1/H265 /Dual WiFi 2.4G 5.0G/100M Ethernet/BT/USB3.0 Set Top Box (no Gb NIC) - S905 chipset 2 - ZYX 4GB 32GB Android TV Box - MX10 Android 8.1 Smart TV-Box Streaming Media Player H.265 64bit Supporting Wireless, 4K (60Hz),3D, RK3328 Quad Core Set-Top-Box - no Gb NIC - RK3328 3 - Android 8.1 TV Box with 4GB RAM 32GB ROM,GiMiBOX T9 Android Boxes Quad- Core 64 Bits Support BT4.1/ H.265/ 3D /5G WiFi/USB 3.0/ UHD 4K Smart TV Box with Remote Keyboard - RK3328 4 - H96 max X2 Android 8.1 TV Box, 4GB RAM 32GB ROM Amlogic Quad core Support WiFi 2.4G+5G/4K/3D Smart TV Box Streaming Media Player - no GB NIC The list goes on and on. What would you guys recommend me to get?
  16. Gave up and went back to the VIMII image which was all configured as a server. I stumbled here after installing docker and a custom docker application which you had to build to get it to work and running in to unavailble ARM64 libraries which I have never seen before. Wondering if this was because of the kernel version running.
  17.

  18. Today tried with image: Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_3.14.29_server_20180601 I did not know that the older images were posted until reading another thread here.

  19. Thank you Dariusz Biernat. Tried mentioned Armbian_5.78_Aml-s912_Ubuntu_bionic_default_5.1.0-rc1_desktop_20190409.img. Same results. Yes tried again last night with same images dated 20190409. The Logitech wireless keyboard combo works well now. Thinking the battery was going out on the device. All except for the ethernet port works with both the desktop and server build. Tried every server and desktop version posted and same issue with all of them relating to not getting a DHCP address. It is odd cuz I tested the VIM2 build to work perfectly with the new box except that I do not get the bells and whistles from the Armbian build. None the less have configured the box for use and rebooted it a few times and all is well long math way. It is using the same VTB file for both images so do not understand.
  20. Relating to the T95Z Max - s912 octacore 3gb ram - purchased in May, 2019 from Amazon. I can get current Armbian releases to boot fine except it appears that the network interface doesn't come up with the standard release vtb or g200 vtb file. Bluetooth, Wireless, USB (even see USB 3.0 now) works. Display does not show when booting these in Armbian.
  21. Switched to an alternate Ubuntu 18.04 OS which booted up fine and works fine but doesn't have the same bells and whistles that Armbian has which I prefer. Everything is long math way with this OS but it is only a server so it doesn't really matter much. I did try all of the newer current releases of Armbian and they worked fine except for the Gb ethernet interface which doesn't make sense to me. Run these boxes headless and prefer them to boot up running SSH with an IP versus using a monitor and keyboard.

  22. For whatever reasons here cannot get an ethernet LAN DHCP address. I see the ethernet mac address fine. Wireless works fine. Should I give up and look for another device?
  23. Purchased two more Amazon sold Octocore / 32Gb emmc / 3Gb RAM / Gb NIC boxes a couple of days ago. These are T9SZ Max devices. The reset button is inside of the AV port (PITA). Less than $60 USD on Amazon now with one day shipping. Booting in Android WLAN and LAN work fine. USB Wireless keyboard does not work. Coreelec works fine except for the USB wireless keyboard. Using image: Armbian_5.78_Aml-s912_Ubuntu_bionic_default_5.1.0-rc1_20190412 Boots fine except that the USB wireless keyboard doesn't work and it never connects to the network via DHCP. Any suggestions? Got it it going. Noticed that I had to change the dtb file for ethernet to work. USB is working fine.
  24. The heat sink adhesive melted off? No. This was the second heatsink pack I purchased at Amazon. The first one didn't really have any adhesive on it. I thought the second pack of heat sinks had more adhesive. Best to purchase a sticky adhesive compound when installing these little heatsinks.
