I have X96 MAX. I download, burn and start Armbian_20.08_Arm-64_buster_current_5.7.15.img.xz from micro sd card. Internal storage is not found in kernel messages but when I try with Armbian_20.02.0-rc1.037_Aml-s9xxx_buster_current_5.5.0-rc6_desktop_20200205.img.xz I see all storage's (internal and external) and installation is ok.

I don't know way when I'm starting from Armbian_20.02.0-rc1.037_Aml-s9xxx_buster_current_5.5.0-rc6_desktop_20200205.img.xz showed memory is 3.2GB but when I start from Armbian_20.08_Arm-64_buster_current_5.7.15.img.xz showed memory is 3.6GB?

can you provide a folder listing of /, i'm having problems renaming the files

The new version of images 20200814.

 

Please note that the algorithm for initial configuration of the system for startup has changed. Instead of a file "uEnv.txt", the file "/extlinux/extlinux.conf " is now used. The rules for editing a file remain the same.

All Amlogic models now need the "u-boot.ext" file.

Before launching on Amlogic, you must copy or rename one of the existing files "u-boot-*" to "u-boot.ext".

 

For s905 (not X) - used u-boot-s905

For s905x and s912 - used u-boot-s905x-s912

For s905x2 and s922 - used u-boot-s922

 

For g12a\g12b models, a single file is now used (files u-boot.sd and u-boot.usb now replaces one u-boot-s922 file).

don't understand this, do we have to create one more file?

Yes, I install most builds to eMMC on the x96minis and never had any problems using

sudo /root/install-aml.sh

Which system did you have on eMMC when you bricked the device? Could you revive it via usb burning tool and android?! Does it still boot from cards?

i'll try again, did you succeed with focal?,

originally i had android 9.0 on eMMC and revived it back with w10 usb burning tool/android 9.0 fw provided by supplier and yes it works now normally booting from SD card.

The bionic version of 20200723 (with added desktop) runs now for around 12 hours from internal on two of my x96mini 2/16G boxes without issues or problems as expected. By the way the bionics from 20200720 & 20200715 worked well on the p281 boxes too..

have you been able to transfer bionic to eMMC on x96-mini 2/16?

i did one try and bricked the device using install-aml.sh

I'm using this dtb  for my X96Max+ and I got both HDMI sound and ethernet working, but no wifi and bt (kernel 5.7.6)

not working on mine (x96max+2), kernel version:

i'm trying to activate bluetooth any clue on how to update dtb?

For those that have not found a working dtb yet, you might want to give this method of extracting dtb and dts files a shot (hardware keyboard recommended or setup sshd via termux). Install termux. Open it and type:

termux-setup-storage
apt update
apt install dtc
dtc -q -I fs -O dts /sys/firmware/devicetree/base -o /sdcard/mytvbox.dts
dtc -q -I fs -O dtb /sys/firmware/devicetree/base -o /sdcard/mytvbox.dtb

I am unable to test this method presently due to other issues but I am dying to know if it works. The files generated are larger than the dtb files in the armbian images but they are similar size to the dtb files from coreelec. If the dtb file doesn't work, at least the dts file might give some clues as to why alternative dtb files have wifi or ethernet issues etc. You can also convert other dtb to dts and vice versa so you can open the dts files in a text editor and compare.

To convert dtb to dts.

dtc -O dts -o tvbox.dts tvbox.dtb

To convert dts to dtb.

dtc -O dtb -o mytvbox.dtb mybox.dts

 

i've tested this and it doesn't work, using included /dtb/amlogic/meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb renaming u_boot.sd to u_boot.ext, i'm now doing some reseach on android firmware folder to activate wifi/BT

Broken monitor/cable?

thanks for replying but it's solved renaming u_boot.sd to u_boot.ext

[desktop background on cyan -> SOLVED!]

using bionic, eoan & focal on x96max+2 (meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb) y always get a cyan background as shown in attached image:

solved!, writing from the device, 

 

just renamed u_boot.sd to u_boot.ext and it worked
