    huge applaud to really great preole out there.

     

    I have a95x z2 rk3318 2gb Ram 16gb Rom model.

    i have tried @hexdump dtb, trust.img from @caruso 

    and used 'armbian_20.02.0-rc1.038_rk3328-tv_bionic_current_5.5.0-rc6_desktop_20200205.img.xz'  from the firrst link

    I get nothing but unsupported on my hdmi monitor.

    please help with the file selection.

    Especially @Tarzanus as you got the same device, in 4gb ram model

    Try images with kernel 4x. You can also try my dtb which works with libreelec and have remote, diode, wifi working.

    update: i think i have found another problem - as we are using the trust.img we have to unmap the trust memory area from the kernel, otherwise it will panic whenever it will try to access memory in that region. this can be done with a reserved memory region in the dtb: 

    
/* seems to be required to not touch the trust area - see:
   - https://forum.manjaro.org/t/rockpro64-kernel-panics-caused-by-firmware/117900
   - https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/006d3ee0-2711-1b4e-d8cf-6a226fcad0e4@arm.com/
*/
        reserved-memory {
                #address-cells = <2>;
                #size-cells = <2>;
                ranges;

                tee@0x8400000 {
                        reg = <0x0 0x8400000 0x0 0x2400000>;
                        no-map;
                };
        };

    after this the box finally seems to run completely stable now (this might be of interest for @caruso and @Tarzanus too most probably). attached are updated mainline dts/dtb files with this inside (beware, those files is for mainline and not the 4.4 rockchip kernel).

     

    @Amoren - better wait a bit before using all this stuff as it is still quite a bit in the move.

    @hexdump Thanks for sharing, I was playing with different dtbs and sometimes I had kernel panic.

    Did you managed to have working ir remote?

    I was also playing with LibreElec with manual:

    https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/20813-step-by-step-tutorial-libreelec-on-h96-max-also-ir-remote-support/

    and I successfully run with rk3318, by analogy (dding trust.img, removing >1.1 GHz frequencies from cpu section of dts and recompile dtb)

    dtb also needed

    Hello, I have the h96max rk3318 box. I extracted the  Armbian_19.11.3_Rk3328-tv_eoan_legacy_4.4.154_desktop_20191126 onto sd card (i rememeberd to make changes to the conf and env files) then I inserted to my box but it wont boot at all. only when i remove the sd card it reboots again to android.

    Any help to boot from sd card? Thanx...

    dding of trust.img and copy of 3318.dtb is needed also, check my description. You can execute dd command from virtual machine (i.e virtual box), linux machine, or even in terminal on the same box when it's booted to android, you must check only name of target sdcard device.

    You can extract trust.img or use attached one in this thread.

    @caruso - i can confirm that your trust.img approach ist bringing the boot forward and the main part of u-boot is properly loaded, but for my box (2gb) sadly hangs quite early on:

    U-Boot 2019.10-armbian (Nov 29 2019 - 09:50:19 +0300)

    Model: Rockchip RK3328 EVB
    DRAM:

     

    looks like a memory timing issue to me ( @jernej - maybe any idea here too, although this is rockchip?). @caruso - on you website you have a file write_dd.txt in which you are writing more than just the trust.img - i assume that was just some intermediate step of your tries maybe?

     

    best wishes - hexdump

     

    Regarding write_dd.txt - indeed, there were many trials but I was able to reproduce working scenario with minimum dd'ing trust.img only.

    My box is 4GB/64GB, not sure maybe some changes are needed in dts/dtb for 2GB versions.

    Maybe post whole log up to hang moment.

    @caruso - do you have a download link for the rk3318_9.0_hcy_20191114_v002 firmware?

     

    update: ok - found it - how did you extract its contents? all linux cmdline tools to unpack the update.img file seem to fail for me ...

    I think I took firmware from: https://www.h96tvbox.com/content/6-Firmware-upgrade

     

    I've unpacked with img_unpack and afptool tools available in git repo: https://github.com/TeeFirefly/rk2918_tools.git

    I took instructions from http://wiki.t-firefly.com/ROC-RK3328-CC/fw_pack_unpack.html

      

    unzip rk3318_9.0_hcy_20191114_v002.zip to update.img
    git clone https://github.com/TeeFirefly/rk2918_tools.git
cd rk2918_tools
make
sudo cp afptool img_unpack img_maker mkkrnlimg /usr/local/bin

    Hi everyone,

     

    I would like to share my work which leads to boot from sdcard device based on RK3318 to desktop armbian.

     

    I've was using Armbian_19.11.3_Rk3328-tv_eoan_legacy_4.4.154_desktop_20191126.img and end up with booting to desktop

    What doesn't work for me:

    • onboard wifi (usb dongle works, old tp-link tl-wn725N)
    • onboard bluetooth

    My box is same as picture below:

    h96-max-rk3318-review-s03-min.jpg

    https://androidpctv.com/review-h96-max-opinion/

     

    I've burned image with rufus on windows and my first boot trial finished with boot hang up:

     

    bl31.PNG

     

    I've solved this issue by invoking following code where /dev/mmcblk0 is sdcard device in linux, and trust.img was extracted from rk3318_9.0_hcy_20191114_v002 updage image.

      

    dd if=trust.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=24576
sync

    After that boot sequence went further. I'm not sure but I guess that debug vs release version of bl31 might be problem here.

     

    bl31_release.PNG

     

    Also, I've used rk3318-t9.dtb file prepared based on rk3328-t9.dtb posted in this thread, with removing cpu freqencies > 1.1GHz, as box was unstable with such high frequencies.

     

    I didn't find option here to attach file so temporaraly you can find my modified file here rk3318-t9.dtb and other useful files here:

    https://freeshell.de/~tiloc/armbian/

     

    I hope it will be useful for somebody :)
