I believe T95 max plus is S905X3. If I am correct then you may want to confirm with the instructions on the first page of this topic that mentions S905X3 boxes are not supported. If you are looking for more detailed instructions on how to run the image on development board or tv boxes, you may find this link https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ helpful. Hope this helps! -R

Please ignore above messages. I have finally got it working. The interface was listed but it was down. I did sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and it is working now. Thank you for all the suggestions and help! -R

@dbsharpe I loaded Android for the box (it is QBox S905X) and reviewed dmesg. The wifi is working on the box. It appears that the firmware file used is fw_bcm40183b2.bin and nvram_ap6330.txt. I am not able to locate fw_bcm40183b2.bin on the Armbian image. Incidentally bluetooth is working. Where should I look for right firmware?

If it is here --> https://github.com/paolosabatino/armbian-build/tree/rk3229 I will locate it. -R

Can you point me to the location of source code for the driver files you have uploaded? Thanks you. -R

Just wondering if this will also work on ARMv8 64 bit boards? Probably not, but if there is a similar solution for this on other boards it would be great! -R

Thank you. I will try this out. -R

You are lucky to have that working. I have a TX3 mini with ssv6501 and could never make it work. I also have a QBox (S905X) having exact same situation as you see with BCM4330. The dmsg messages are exactly same. I tried this but it does not work for me. mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt.old ln -s /lib/firmware/brcm/nvram_ap6330.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt The config.txt has these content: PM=0 nv_by_chip=1 \ 43362 1 nvram_ap6210.txt 43430 0 nvram_ap6212.txt So I tried linking nvram_ap6210.txt and nvram_ap6212.txt but it doesn't help. Guess there is more to it than I can perceive. -R

Did you mean to say you got the onboard wifi working on the device? -R

Tanix TX3 mini uses SSV6501 for wifi. The vendor I believe does not exist now and no one supports the driver for mainline kernel. It is too much work and very flaky and unstable I believe. Use external USB wifi and you should be good. Or use legacy kernel if it helps. -R

I think Tanix TX6s has Allwinner H616 which is a different processor. It will most likely not work. Tanix TX6 has H6. You may also want to check this out -R

@balbes150 I tried this on Tanix TX6 yesterday. Sharing some initial test data compared to the earlier 5.7.7 image I had used: 1, Onboard wifi is not working. It was working with earlier 5.7.7 images. Wi-fi dongle 2. Sound card is not configured. Was working in previous images. 3. As expected with kernel 5.8 CPU Speed and governor is functional now. There is remarkable improvement in controlling SOC temperature at the cost of performance. htop has stopped showing CPU temperature so I had to use lm-sensors. -R

Check the card name is correct. You can use aplay -L to verify the card name in the script. If it still does not work, you can try with alsamixer on the device. -R

I think you can get this from older images. Try 'Armbian_20.05.0_Arm-64_buster_current_5.6.0-rc4_desktop_20200314.img.xz'. -R

HDMI Display - yes HDMI Audio - yes LED display - No. This will need some additional work. 2.4 and 5GB wifi - yes Bluetooth - not tested but I think it should work with right drivers. Remote - I am sure this an be configured with lirc or something similar GPU - not sure Boot logo - no [ I tried using sunxi patches from @Igor 's master branch but it did not help. ] Plymouth - yes Allwinner H6 is ARMv8 architecture so yes 64 bit version of Armbian is required and it works quite well in my opinion except for temperature issues on H6 with that particular box or in general. -R

If it is Phantio MX10 it is most likely Allwinner H6 and not rk3328. You may first want to verify this.

@hexdump It looks like the CPUFreq (DVFS) support for H6 will be in kernel 5.8 as per the information available here: https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix We can hope for some improvement when that happens. -R

You can query all supported resolution on the device using xrandr. I think the command is 'xrandr -q'. But you may want to check the manual for xrandr. -R

I have used this dtb file 'sun50i-h6-tanix-tx6.dtb' which I believe should be the one to be used for this device. I think I will try one of the other H6 boxes available in the market. Will probably need the right dtb for that too! You sure know the topic in depth. Thank you for these insightful information, -R

@balbes150 I have tested this with open box and with heat sink and radiator, and the temperature hovers around 80 degrees I have been testing it for just few minutes. I think it is still at the higher side so I think fan is the only option. I am wary of adding moving parts in the box. Sooner or later it will need replacement. BTW it is interesting in the closed box scenario the temp reaches up to 139 degrees C within 20-25 minutes of running a movie. As per your earlier quote in this forum you have mentioned you plan to focus on Allwinner and RockChip SOCs only going forward however Amlogic SOCs are quite stable and have decent performance. I have tried your images on Tanix TX3 Mini (S905W), MeCool M8S Pro (S912), Tanix TX5 Mini (S905X), T95U Pro and T95Z Pro both S912. They work great on all these boxes. I am sure you may have solid reasons for having limited support for Amlogic going forward. If you can share some of your thoughts, it will help with choosing for future. I have used Allwinner Orange Pi Plus 2e also. It is a good device but Plymouth does not work well on this (ARMv7 32-bit). Plymouth has issues with 32-bit images I think, based on my experience. As always thank you great job with these images. -R

These are the images: I forgot to mention that the part with the board is top portion and the metal plate is bottom portion. It is I think upside down as you have mentioned. -R

I checked the source code and the patch is already applied. This is not a good news if the temp displayed is correct. Or the patch is not working as expected. I wish there was a way to stick a thermometer in there to measure the real temperature and verify -R

I rebooted the device so I assume it must have done this. There is this post discussing temperature being over reported by 20 degrees... Need to check if this helps. I wonder if this patch is included in the build. -R

@balbes150 I tried this image on Tanix TX6 which has H6 and everything is working great including on board wifi. Added the new u-boot also. As per the documentation here on Ambian https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner-H6/ the CPU of H6 is set to clock at highest possible speed. Is there a way to use CPU governor on these images? I tried to edit /etc/default/cpufrequtils to limit the freq to 1.5 MHz but could not perceive any visible effect. The CPU gets so hot (above 90 degrees C) that we can prepare coffee on the box at slightest provocation, like play a movie or something. The device is well ventilated and has alluminium heat sink with an additional metal plate on the top. It is a good device and good Armbian image if the temp can be controlled. Let me know if I can try something to address this. -R

Android installation that comes on the tv boxes can display time when the display is available show such information. Is it possible to do something similar from Armbian using a tool, utility or some custom program to drive this? Similar for using LED on tv boxes. This is well documented for Orange Pi cards. -R
