    @fossxplorer For any Android use, just remember to flash the modified Tronsmart S95 firmware first. That's a must, otherwise the box is only slightly above rubbish. edit: @fossxplorer Search freaktab for MXQ PRO+ and sdrobots firmware.

    Good news for all Q8 owners: MK902II Android 5.1 firmware seems to be working great on this box (thanks @mo123!) My earlier Termux suggestion (that required Lollipop to use) is fully workable now. I have yet to check if the firmware is similar to Ugoos's, able to boot Linux from SD automatically, but it probably should work one way or another.

    Please, read the thread before spouting question marks. I know what the issue is, I originally benchmarked it. The kernel is almost certainly involved in that observed performance drop due to big.little scheduling. Superceleron's mod is definitely worth investigating.

    Quoting a certain popular S912 ROM's Changelog: Does anyone know if this feature could be ported to the Armbian kernel? I'm sure it would solve those weird ramspeed results reported earlier.

    A link was provided earlier in the thread by yours truly.

    Nah, why waste so much space? The most efficient way to do it looks like that: $ zcat Whatever_image_img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync For xz compressed images use xzcat obviously.

    Start with a 3.14 image and the dtb file that I'd linked to earlier in the thread.
  8. Shimon
    Only the latter. Changing root's password and creating a user account has been compulsory for quite a while now on first boot.

    ROCK64

    Shimon replied to Xalius's topic in Rockchip

    I noticed the issue a few months ago, and, as the ARMv7 binaries produced the expected results in AARCH32 mode, I looked at the source and IIRC it was all about optimized assembly routines not present in the AARCH64 version. edit: In case I'm misremembering, it could have been about cpuminer results.

    This stuff used to work fine in the now discontinued S905-only VegaS95 images with the 3.14.79 kernel. Definitely worth bringing back, at least for S905 owners!

    Thanks @TonyMac32 , that was exactly the gist of my question
  12. Shimon
    Ugoos boxes are Linux ready OOTB, what about the topical cheapos though? I received one of those about a month ago but haven't even had time to unpack it

    Thanks for the link, my image version is probably: Armbian_5.27_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20170323 edit: Yes, that was the right config, WiFi works too. Thanks @balbes150
  14. Shimon
    It's not present in that image (3.14.29 kernel) Could you provide a link?
  15. Shimon
    We're talking about a standard Armbian 5.27 Ubuntu image from about a month ago, and yes, Mini M8S has 100M ethernet whereas the others have gigabit.

    @balbes150 What's the recommended dtb file for M8S mini S905? I've been testing a relatively recent desktop image + gxbb_p200_2G which works fine on both MXQ Pro+ and Beelink MiniMXIII but M8S ends up with a non-functioning LAN. The image that I normally use (3.14.79 based) + the old dtb format M8S file, brings up wired LAN just fine so it looks like a wrong dtb file. I think it shouldn't matter the same image ran on those other boxes I'd mentioned?

    Here's gl4es, likewise from France: https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es Even though nothing beyond OpenGL 1.5 is supported, it should be fun to test, and besides, you might be the first to try it on a Tinker Board.
  18. Shimon
    The way you phrased the question means the answer probably entails just one step, namely, running /root/install.sh
  19. Shimon
    Nice to see it already has Android 5.1 so running termux should be useful/fun.
  20. Shimon
    @James KingdonI've just realised the q8-rk3288 wiki mentions the 2 boxes from @mdel's first post. Which implies it should probably have worked OOTB?
  21. Shimon
    @James Kingdon Ah, ok, thought you had no choice but to cross-compile. BTW, could you post a link to your kernel .config and the dtb file used? edit: Unless make q8-rk3288_defconfig was enough.
  22. Shimon
    Thanks for the detailed write-up! I could build the kernel for you natively, if you think that really was the problem area. Which gcc branch should I use? (the repo says `at least gcc 3.2) Indeed, mine should be arriving next week
  23. Shimon
    @James Kingdon Could you give us a quick recap of the steps necessary to get the Q8 to boot that kernel? Which image did you use as your base?
  24. Shimon
    Do any of you know of an Android 5 ROM for this box? That way, we could run a few benchmarks under termux, at least.
  25. Shimon
    Second that, yandex causes all sorts of problems. Only recently have I overcome the problem with downloads not starting (Load denied by X-Frame-Options) by setting network.http.enforce-framing.soft to false in firefox. No idea how to make it work in chromium, though.
