@mdel and @zador.blood.stained the key advantage of GT1 is not only S912 octa-core, but it is all about Mali-8 with full OpenCL support. It is the most powerful hardware I know at this price, size and thermal set.

I think we are now advancing quickly to fully-support Beelink GT1/S912! I would like to request help from Armbian community to solve the issues, since some users are very confident with some topics and already had solved similar problems. It will take much more time to learn everything and try to solve topic-by-topic. 1. So, can you take care of solving this issue @balbes150? If you need any support or provide guidance I can help you write code and test anything. 2. @chocho, can you explain what are the differences? I think the best thing to do is to merge all work that was done. What do you think? 3. @Igor and @tkaiser, I think you are very experienced with WiFi stuff. Can you help me? On previous post I published the drivers and at least what I understood was that nvram.txt is not being correctly loaded (the path is wrong and I don't know where it is read from). 4. Yes, GT1 uses Mali-8. @balbes150, where do you think we can find the correct mali driver? 5. Ok, will give it a try with correct dtb file for GT1.

I copied GT1 dtb files to /boot on @balbes150 905X image. How can I know which dtb is currently active and how can I force gxm_q201_1g.dtb or gxm_q201_2g.dtb?

I'm trying to find all errors on @balbes150 905x image, the issues are: 1) on boot [FAILED] Failed to start Hostname Service. [FAILED] Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online. 2) nand-sata-install Current root is returning a strange path: LABEL=ROOTFS 302 root_partition=$(cat /proc/cmdline | sed -e 's/^.*root=//' -e 's/ .*$//') root@amlogic-s905x:~# cat /proc/cmdline root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 hdmimode=720p60hz m_bpp=24 fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 mac=00:15:18:01:81:31 We also have a problem with emmc device Error: The device /dev/mmcblk1 is so small that it cannot possibly store a file system or partition table.

@balbes150 and @chocho I learnt how to extract the dtb and dts file from Beelink Android images. I will be documenting it here to help other users, but it is the exactly process @chocho already did. 1) update your GT1 device with GT1_104M0.img or GT1_104M0_AP6255.img 2) power-up, boot GT1; 3) copy boot.img from running Android image adb pull /dev/block/boot boot.img 4) download split_bootimg.pl tool and run it over boot.img wget -c http://www.enck.org/tools/split_bootimg_pl.txt -O split_bootimg.pl chmod a+x split_bootimg.pl split_bootimg.pl boot.img Result: -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 32M Dec 4 19:28 boot.img -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 7.0M Dec 4 20:08 boot.img-kernel -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 898K Dec 4 20:08 boot.img-ramdisk.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 82K Dec 4 20:08 boot.img-second.gz 5) find the hex addresses of "d0 0d fe ed" hexdump -C -v boot.img-second.gz |less Results (hex and decimal addresses): gxm_q201_1g: 00000800 (2048) gxm_q201_2g: 0000a800 (43008) 6) extract available dtb sections from boot.img-second.gz gxm_q201_1g dd if=boot.img-second.gz of=gxm_q201_1g.dtb bs=2048 skip=1 gxm_q201_2g dd if=boot.img-second.gz of=gxm_q201_2g.dtb bs=43008 skip=1 7) convert dtb (binary format) to dts (readable) dtc -I dtb -O dts -o gxm_q201_201_1g.dts gxm_q201_201_1g.dtb dtc -I dtb -O dts -o gxm_q201_201_2g.dts gxm_q201_201_2g.dtb *dtc command is available on GNU/Linux There is only one difference between gxm_q201_201_1g.dts and gxm_q201_201_2g.dts memory@00000000 { device_type = "memory"; linux,usable-memory = <0x0 0x1000000 0x0 0x3f000000>; }; memory@00000000 { device_type = "memory"; linux,usable-memory = <0x0 0x1000000 0x0 0x7f000000>; }; boot.img, dtb and dts files from previous steps are available at: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11164079/GT1/beelink_gt1.tar.gz beelink_gt1/boot -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 32M Dec 4 19:28 boot.img -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 7.0M Dec 4 20:08 boot.img-kernel -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 898K Dec 4 20:08 boot.img-ramdisk.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 82K Dec 4 20:08 boot.img-second.gz beelink_gt1/dtb_dts -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 80K Dec 4 20:24 gxm_q201_1g_00000800.dtb -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 48K Dec 4 20:25 gxm_q201_1g_00000800.dts -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 40K Dec 4 20:18 gxm_q201_2g_0000a800.dtb -rw-r--r-- 1 lvmc staff 48K Dec 4 20:21 gxm_q201_2g_0000a800.dts

@balbes150 and @choco 1. I just wrote your image to sdcard and booted, I haven't copied any dtb file. How can I extract dtb files from available Beelink Android images (GT1_104M0.img or GT1_104M0_AP6255.img)? 2. What are the differences from @balbes150 and @choco initiative? 3. What do you mean by "script in internal the internal memory"? What are the steps to test and help you? 4. I extracted newest Bluetooth and WiFi drivers for AP6255 from Beelink's GT1 Android image, it can be downloaded from: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11164079/GT1/bluetooth.tar.gz https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11164079/GT1/wifi.tar.gz

Yes. I downloaded respective img from balbes150 link, wrote to sdcard. To boot you have to insert sdcard, unplug power, hold the key near the capacitor / power plug, plug power and release key after some seconds. On screen image will take a little bit to turn on. @balbes150, nand-sata-install is writing upto 100%, but after reboot android is booting again, not the probably written armbian image. Do you know what else we need to do?

@balbes150, yes it is working! How are you generating / compiling this image? Is it integrate with Igor's lib building system? Have you tried to write to NAND chip using nand-sata-install from Armbian? WiFi is not working by default, don't know if it is only a matter of loading the module or not. The WiFi chip is AP6255.

@balbes150, The Armbian_5.24_Amlogic-s905x_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_desktop_20161125.img.xz image is booting on Beelink GT1. Please check the full dmesg: https://gist.github.com/Grabber/5737a65926dfe18333a8b2cc26035139 What are the next steps?

@choco, I was trying to compile your branch and got this error: From https://github.com/igorpecovnik/mt7601 * branch old -> FETCH_HEAD * [new branch] old -> origin/old [ .... ] Checking out cp: missing destination file operand after '/home/lvmc/Projects/output/cache/sdcard/lib/modules/3.14.29-beelinkgt1/kernel/net/wireless/' Try 'cp --help' for more information. depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /home/lvmc/Projects/output/cache/sdcard//lib/modules/3.14.29-beelinkgt1: No such file or directory depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory What is the current stage / status of your fork. What is done, what is not working, what efforts we have to concentrate our force on? @Igor, @tkaiser, is there a check list of things we have to get working to have a "stable" Armbian release?

@Wanninger, @Igor, @tkaiser: Could you please help me on one test? Try to simulate the issue without connecting HDMI cable to boot the OS. Here when I don't plug the HDMI and connect it only after some time power is connected, problem seems to be gone. It is working with compiled from source Armbian 5.20 and also Armbian 5.20 with apt-upgrade to 5.23.

@lex, perfect! Also if someone need custom camera modules with wider lense, send me a PM.

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/issues/564

@balbes150, what armbian image are you talking about? were can I download it from?

@Wanninger, @Igor: how can I help you test?

@balbes150, could you provide us a step-by-step to test your armbian on GT1 / S912? I want to help you to support this hardware.

@lordofduct, can you provide me remote SSH access to your board? I can check the ov5640 stuff for you. Me and @lex has been doing an extensive job to support cameras on cheap boards. Send me a private message, if you need help.

@balbes150, have you tried Beelink GT1 with S912?

That is a real issue, how can I help you test @Igor?

@lex, v1.1 is the latest revision available on the market right now, v1.2 is not ready for mass production yet.

@Igor, same with older versions.

@Igor, same behavior here.

@garyang, how can I help you?

@chocho, I'm highly interested in helping you port Armbian to GT1. I have a few units in my hands now, how can I help you?
