X96Maxer

Hello all, I have one X96 Max and a A95X F2 ... and one issue with gigabit ethernet The X96 works fine in a gigabit network with 116MB/s test. The A95X F2 with the same DTB (meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb) does not recognize the network device (only loopback and wifi) with the special DTB (A95X F2 с SoC Amlogic S905X2-MT7668RSN.dtb) of this thread (thanks Balbes150) everything runs ok but the ethernet is 100 mbps It's there a DTB with gigabit ethernet for the A95X? best regards

Hello, balbes150 and others...You are doing a great work.... thanks!. _ I have a X96 Max running docker and runs great..... Now I bought a A95X F2 (with the same S905x2 processor) a bit cheaper than X96Max and one day sended...... I can run armbian (latest version 4.95) using sdcard (pressing the reset button in AV plug..... and connecting power). But the Network is not working.... the eth0 is down and when I try to set up (ifconfig eth0 up) I'm receiving a "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy" The error in "dmesg" is "meson 8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet:Failed to reset the dma meson 8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_hw_setup: DMA engine initialization failed meson 8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: HW setup failed" I do some test like use the usb of de X96 Max, use the version 4.91, 4.94 and 4.95 with same results.... I have a usb to ethernet cable and using this (unplugin the ethernet cable from network port and conect to the usb to ethernet) everithing works.... I think that some driver is not loaded in the armbian but I thought that the processor has the network gigabit logic Could someone help me? Thanks

Thanks I'm newbie with tvboxes and armbian. I'm booting with twrp by: 1. - trying to install the aml_autoscript.zip 2. - When x96 max reboots gives an error (verification error) 3.- update from EXT... sdcard TWRP-3.2.2.zip 4.- The TWRP starts correctly If I try with the button in "AV" then x96 max or "bootloader" from recovery menu.... the system freezes in the first logo (it appears that there is not a bootloader ¿?) and have downloaded a lot of armbians from https://yadi.sk/d/pHxaRAs-tZiei I can copy to sdcard with balena etcher but never starts.... and can't locate an option to boot from sdcard. I copied in other sdcard (fat32) the full image ( Armbian_5.91_Aml-g12_Debian_buster_default_5.2.1_20190802.img for example) and locate the restore option in twrp ..... very scared I click in "restore boot" but error message received ".... file size not match... " or something like. I don't need android in the x96max.... if armbian runs with ethernet (¿wifi runs?).. I would prefer dual boot but if no chance I can live without android. The ubuntu disco version is good for me (can I try with desktop if the process is repeatable) So, please, say to me: How do you flash twrp as a recovery? How do you intalled armbian from sdcard? How "overridden eMMC with armbian"? thanks in advance I have got It! I don't know how but playing with twrp, another versión images and diferent muktiboot zips..... It starts from sdcard the Ubuntu with and without desktop!!!!! now to try with wifi ......

What Android version os your x96max? Mine is android 9 and gives me an verification error in the upgrade..... What version of armbian do you use? Thanks un advance

Hello I received my new x96 Max tv box yesterday It runs android 9 When I update with am...zip for enable bootting from sdcard( correct?) the update process after reboot says "error verifying...." "footer error...." The file arm****.zip is in the sdcard and the update procesa can read (update from EXT in the menu can retry with same error) What I'm doing wrong? more info: the x96 Max that I have is a 4G Memory /32G disk model.... it has a u311 (¿board model?) instead of u211 i read about in other threads (or in this thread) Thanks in avance Ricardo Pd:I tryed with a lot of versions of armbian until 5.91 with same result
