First of - massive thanks to@jernej, @hexdump and @balbes150 for making these devices useful!
I have two TV boxes that successfully boot balbes150's armbian distros:
The first one is called T95max+
This is a quad-core Amlogic S905X3 device
I have 4G RAM/32G rom version.
Booting armbian with meson-g12a-sei510.dtb,
eth0 works
I quite like this box, it's cheap on aliexpress,
it's easy to open, got a small-ish board,
real 4G RAM (not like the H6 one). Will be building
a compute rig of several of these!
T95max - I foolishly thought it'd have the same
hardware as the first one but alas it's an Allwinner H6
Using the RK_AML_AW repo with U-BOOT-TANIX-TX6
and sun50i-h6-tanix-tx6.dtb - booting successfully!
Many thinks to the abovementioned guys for getting this
one covered as I was preparing to toss it to the bin ;
It's a 4G RAM but only ~3 available, HDMI+sound+eth0
work. This one is crappy as a TV box, only does 720p
max in android so I would no recommend it. But it will
be useful after the "upgrade"
@balbes150 I love your choice of the test clips! ;
H96 Max X3 - Amlogic S905X3 SoC - Gigabit ethernet (RTL8211F)! - boots with meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb and standard aml color fix - decent radiator (compiling for hours on all 4 cores doesn't overheat at all) - installs on eMMC no problem - warn - comes with unrooted Android - like other aml S905X's no wifi/bt/sound by default
