Continuing on the topic of replacing the LPDDR4 memory chip.
Here is a successful experience of replacement.

Desktop installation: (XFCE and Gnome at the moment)

automatic install and uninstall on code changes and daily modular packages assembly https://github.com/armbian/configng/blob/main/tools/modules/system/module_desktop_packages.sh clean and minimal (will be cleaned more, PR is welcome)

containerized with official images tested with networkd and Network Manager tested on arm64  
 
 

Mission: provide easy way to configure OS and install services
 
armbian-config provides configuration and installation routines for customizing and automating tasks within Armbian Linux environment. These utilities help streamline setup processes for various use cases.
 

 
 
Key Advantages
Lightweight: Minimal dependencies for optimal performance. Flexible: Supports JSON, TUI, CLI, and API interfaces. Modern: A fresh approach to configuration. Low entropy: Byte clean uninstall for most targets. Features
System Configuration: Kernel management, headers, hardware tweaks. NFS and ZFS storage management. SSH user access tweaks. System updates, rolling / stable, containers update. Network Management: Fixed / dynamic IP configuration. Connecting to wireless network. Access point management. Localization Settings: Configure time zone. Set language and locales. Change hostname. Software Management: Software installation and removal. Native and containerized environment. Standardised, updatable, maintained.  
Compatibility
This tool is tailored to works best with Armbian Linux but it has also been automatically tested on:
Debian Bookworm Ubuntu Jammy Ubuntu Noble  
In theory it should work on all systemd APT based Linux distributions: Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Kali Linux, MX Linux, Parrot OS, Proxmox, Raspberry Pi OS, ...

Getting Started
Armbian config is preinstalled on Armbian. Open or login into your terminal and run:
 
armbian-config

We don't have this board, but you can find users with this model in this link
you could also find people on https://www.t95plus.com/
use other topics as development path

@dfahren 
I see that you have a lot to add here,
I would like you to participate in the integration of this board in Joshua Riek's project to enable RKNPU,
where the board already works but there is the problem of the maskrom button, micro stuttering and the memory clock.
 
edit: the u-boot 2025.01 for h96max v56 was merged, also wifi works out of the box, no patch needed. 
@maka @mvpwar @hzdm @dfahren @Vincenzoernst1 @pessimism
please keep a copy from next armbian release for this board.

@Hqnicolas    Thanks! Yes and yes. 😀
I'd like to have others test this u-boot, too, if you don't mind. In due time, you will get a PR for your repo and may include it in Armbian. However, I think it is too special for inclusion right into Armbian source code, but you can decide once you looked at the PR.

@tnt

i also didnt get the the sd slot running. i soldered 3 NEW slots and none of them worked. since i ordered a 10 pack from china i didnt mind to dump them after unsoldering.
i always got a dmesg error (logs somewhere above).
 
there are 2 errors possible:
bad china quality slots there is something on the board missing.  
also i dont think there was somthing wrong with the soldering since im an enineer and solder on daily basis. btw. i uses a hot air gun for solderding, therefor it i also should be working.

if there are now 2 of us having problems i might thingk its no problem on my side.....

You're the first reporting, so, if when you have Armbian in your device, and it shows 8gb, it's 8gb.
about the wifi/ethernet problem:
it's a BUG made by the chinese developer that misconfig pinout's in dtb, that we can fix here...
 
 
50% of the problem is recognizing the problem, 45% is fighting it and 5% is talent you are at 50% already.
start your journey against the other 45% and find the 5% along the way.

I bought a similar chip for ~15$ on Taobao:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=828400739165
 
But it is profitable to buy on Taobao if let's say order something else say in the amount of 1kg - that the delivery (about 20$, of course, shipping is only through an intermediary) paid for itself.

Fantastic,
 
I just booted Armbian with a 6.12 kernel, and for the first time since august I have a desktop system on my OPI 5's.
 
And of course armbian-config work.
 
It was right before my OPI5's went to recycling......

After applying patch from previous post, it updated to latest version without complaining about unhealthy status:

the Github actions still working, it will be released in 5 hours.
 
 

Stay on Armbian Mainline 6.6.  I'ts stable and updated,

the Joshua Riek h96 v56 max 6.1 Project is for iA that uses the RKnpu. and it's old and unstable.

@DreamDreams @dfahren
 

this is already the second patch update for joshua riek that I made so now I will send an board add request.

Yes, that added cost goes to paying people to provide the software support that users want and need.  Instead people demand software support from other people for free and get upset with Armbian and others when things don't work the way they want them too.  Nothing comes for free.

Tell me where to buy this box for less than 26€ and i' ll port it to armbian. 😝
