Thanks for your assistance @Hqnicolas, but i'm too dumb to understand that, my knowledge on this thing is very limited, i only know little shell commands. i just noticed that bluetooth is also not working yet in armbian, so i flash android back. and i noticed that in original android os, ethernet and wireless can't work simultaneously if i connected an ethernet cable at boot, wifi can't be turned on if i connected to a wifi, ethernet is not detected. also in aida64, hwinfo, cpu-z, armbian, the RAM shows 8gb, only in kodi, the ram detected is only 4gb, i started to think that the spec is fake, or my device is totally fake. does the same behaviour happen in your device guys ? i mean the moment where ethernet and wifi can't work simultaneously and kodi shows 4gb ram.

dmesg says Link is up but those "Connection failed" notification keep appearing, and armbian never gets an ip from the router

i revert ethernet1 to ethernet0 in dtb and added extra arg net.ifnames=0 in armbianEnv.txt and here's the new ip a output : 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether d2:c2:c4:17:88:2e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname end0 inet6 fe80::d0c2:c4ff:fe17:882e/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether f4:09:d8:80:37:2a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.96.107/24 brd 192.168.96.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlan0 valid_lft 43192sec preferred_lft 43192sec inet6 fd00::772d:8941:d231:6a49/64 scope global temporary dynamic valid_lft 604794sec preferred_lft 86143sec inet6 fd00::9aed:b2b3:c4e4:4c18/64 scope global mngtmpaddr noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::f410:d986:f27:4400/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever i dont know what i'm doing, i dont have enough knowledge on this, im just experimenting.

Hi @Vincenzoernst1, here's the ip a output 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: end1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether d2:c2:c4:17:88:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether f4:09:d8:80:37:2a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.96.107/24 brd 192.168.96.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlan0 valid_lft 41386sec preferred_lft 41386sec inet6 fd00::3dc0:70e2:e833:ff64/64 scope global temporary dynamic valid_lft 602988sec preferred_lft 84035sec inet6 fd00::9a9c:ab02:8d24:7ee1/64 scope global mngtmpaddr noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::cde1:e0da:9797:f10b/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever sometimes ethernet says connected but don't gets an ip and here's hwinfo output hwinfo.txt

full androiod dmesg : there's a line [ 0.833910] ********************************jl2101 test****************************************

since ethernet not working, i revert back to android, i also test different android firmware, with 8G-RK3566_userdebug_H96_Max_RK3566_11_20210421.2051.img ethernet is not working RK3566_userdebug_H96_Max_RK3566_11_20221126.1220.img ethernet is working here are dtb's that i extracted from working android's ethernet boot.img (there are 4 dtbs but the one is around 8mb so it doesn't upload) 01_dtbdump_rockchip,rk3566-evb3-DDR3-v10.dtb 03_dtbdump_rockchip,rk3566-evb3-DDR3-v10.dtb 04_dtbdump_rockchip,rk3566-evb3-DDR3-v10.dtb and here's the converted version of last dtb 04_dtbdump_rockchip,rk3566-evb3-DDR3-v10.dts in android dtb android_eth.txt, ethernet alias is ethernet1 while on armbian dtb armbian_eth.txt, ethernet alias is ethernet0, could it be the cause ? i'm about to test it android dtb ethernet armbian dtb ethernet

Hi @maka, what's the magic ? i have the same problem but different device (h96max rk3566), i attached board picture and dmesg log and current dts dmesg.txt rk3566-h96-tvbox.dts

Thank you @Hqnicolas, i sucessfully installed armbian on h96 max rk3566 (not v56) 8/128, but ethernet isn't working yet, anyone facing the same issue ? i attached some pictures and dmesg output chip is JL2101 N040C DF dmesg.txt

thanks for your reply, i'm complete novice in this, do i need to write it to boot section of rkdevtool like screenshot bellow ? i didn't soldering the sdcard reader into the pcb yet, was hoping if there's a way to run armbian without doing any hardware modification.

is it the same as rkdevtool's "Firmware Unpack" in "Advanced Function" tab ? i do find MiniLoaderAll.bin in the output folder and instead of downloading from 3rd party websites, i download the original firmware from their (i think) official website https://www.h96tvbox.com/firmware-download/

@Hqnicolas are you referring to https://www.h96tvbox.com/product/h96-max-v56/ or https://www.h96tvbox.com/product/h96-max-3566/ ? I have H96 MAX RK3566 8/128 (not H96 max v56 ) , trying to : burn this armbian : https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/25.2.0-trunk.86/Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.86_H96-tvbox-3566_bookworm_current_6.6.63_minimal.img.xz using balena etcher into a usb flash disk. put the burned usb flashdisk into the box holding the reset button using toothpick while plugging the power but nothing happen, led only shows "boot" text, screen only show the "RK3566" logo and then blank. what i am missing here ?

found it ! in case someone has the same board, this is the short pin

doesn't seem to work, if i just break the emmc, will it boot from sdcard ?

Hello, does anyone know the shortpin for this board ? its a fake r98mini tried to search in on internet but nobody discusing this board emmc is SanDisk SD1N7DU2-16G i'm trying to install archlinux for rock64 following this tutorial, now i cannot boot multitool, and usb doesn't detect the board in case the image is not show up, here's the original url https://pasteboard.co/tLDW0zAOzWMA.jpg https://pasteboard.co/0oMYdaPXA6fR.jpg

Hi @Krotosz6 , i have the exact same problem, the multitool doesn't detect internal memory (i guess you mean the emmc ?), i tried your way without succeess, would you mind write a step by step instruction ? i can run armbian from sdcard but still the emmc isn't detected, i was assuming my emmc is dead, but reading your post gives me a new hope 🤣 i have different box, its h96max rk3318 with black pcb but the short pin looks similar, here's the pic : (the green line is the short pin i usually used, yellow line is your short pin from what i understand)
