Eventually I plan to add H96-max-v56 to the official Armbian repository. What else doesn't work in our images? What could be made better in them? 1. VFD display. 2. Temperature is not displayed in htop.

I have collected several images using this methodology. On my 8Gb RAM - 60Gb console everything started. Check if you have other consoles. Maybe these images will work for all H96-max-v56 modifications.

Hey, everybody! I haven't replied in a while because I've been moving from one house to another. Now I have some free time and I have prepared an automatic Armbian build. You won't have to do any more extra steps with the image. You need to copy the files to the build directory with the git armbian repo ( Build Armbian ) 1. Copy the h96-max-v56 directory to build/packages/blobs/ directory 2. Copy the h96-max-v56.conf file to the build/config/boards/ directory 3. Run the image build From server ./compile.sh build BOARD=h96-max-v56 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=jammy From Desktop cinnamon ./compile.sh build BOARD=h96-max-v56 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=jammy DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED='3dsupport browsers desktop_tools email multimedia internet office' DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=cinnamon DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base xfce ./compile.sh build BOARD=h96-max-v56 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED='3dsupport browsers desktop_tools email multimedia internet office' DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=xfce DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=jammy https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oYK4EhbfcThfBs3F1Ri582jf6PYYp5x2/view?usp=drive_link How to install this Armbian: On Windows OS: 1. Download, unzip and install the software: RKDevTool_Release_v3.15_and_DriverAssitant_v5.12 https://drive.google.com/file/d/14HWcHYHDrgUBFWholrDCKUWDPHw1r4F1/view?usp=drive_link 2. Run RKDevTool. Right-click in the partition list window (1). Select "Load Config". Open armbian.cfg file (2) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MhmUJ8DaikZzwjBliY-PrOrvSrcBPwSA/view?usp=drive_link 4. Shutting down H96 MAX. Press the Reset button. Turn on the H96 MAX. The message "Found One MASKROM Device" or "Found One LOADER Device" should appear. (1) Mark all 2 sections with check marks (2) Open 2 files for each section (3) Check "Write by Address" (4). Press the "Run" button (5). The download will start. When the message "Download image OK" appears, the download is finished (6). H96 MAX will automatically reboot. Done.

I've been busy lately. Strange that the Armbian Server image didn't work. I tested it on my device. USB 2.0 worked. I did it in a hurry. I'll see what's wrong with it soon.

I built an Armbian 23.11.0 server. WiFi and USB 2.0 are working. The installation is similar to the previous image. I think this is a temporary image. I want to improve its build in the future. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MjFe_Z_gBY7d_-K8kxJ6JUg8Wkzqk-JZ/view?usp=drive_link

Unexpectedly, to start WiFi, you just need to copy the drivers for it to the right directory. Copy the brcmfmac4335-sdio.txt and brcmfmac4335-sdio.firefly,rk3566-roc-pc.bin files to the /lib/firmware/brcm directory and restart the device. After that we can connect to WiFi (at least via command line, I haven't checked it via GUI). If GUI doesn't work - you can connect to WiFi via console with the command nmcli device wifi connect My-WiFi-Point password 12345678 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TeoPe_pO5es247c-5TGLfc4cXiKcPr56/view?usp=share_link

On my firmware "ARMBIANv0.7BETA MMC on H96 MAX V56 RK3566 8G/64G" - HDMI works. Only I found one peculiarity. If there is no monitor connected during power on - HDMI will not work. Accordingly - if the monitor is connected during startup - HDMI works properly. Is it the same with H96 MAX V56 4Gb? Regarding the work of WiFi. Unfortunately, WiFI operation is not only DTB file: it is also drivers and possibly kernel settings. I managed to find an image too - which has WiFi working (but no HDMI). This is an Armbian image for Panther-X2 board, a build from OpenHub project) https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases/download/Armbian_jammy_save_2023.10/Armbian_23.11.0_rockchip_panther-x2_jammy_6.1.57_server_2023.10.13.img.gz. Using dtb from Panther-X2 - no results - WiFi did not work. For WiFI to work - driver for BCM4335 must be loaded hz@armbian:~$ ethtool -i wlan0 driver: brcmfmac version: 6.30.171.24 firmware-version: Station/P2P) expansion-rom-version: bus-info: mmc2:0001:1 supports-statistics: no supports-test: no supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: no supports-priv-flags: no hz@armbian:~$ sudo dmesg | grep brcmfmac [ 5.930622] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x16014335 [ 5.962902] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac4335-sdio for chip BCM4335/1 [ 5.965362] brcmfmac mmc2:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4335-sdio.panther,x2.bin failed with error -2 [ 5.980008] brcmfmac mmc2:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4335-sdio.clm_blob failed with error -2 [ 6.204159] brcmfmac: brcmf_c_process_clm_blob: no clm_blob available (err=-2), device may have limited channels available [ 6.205664] brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware: BCM4335/1 wl0: Mar 24 2013 20:36:01 version 6.30.171.24.20 (B0 Station/P2P) [ 6.278966] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac hz@armbian:~$

I was able to get USB 2.0 up and running. Here's the DTB file you need. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_Ajk-TxBgp3hvuU5PTWW08wGRVNR0y6f/view?usp=drive_link To make USB 2.0 work, you need to: 1. Rename the file rk3566-h96-max-v56_v1.dtb to rk3566-firefly-roc-pc.dtb 2. Replace the file /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3566-firefly-roc-pc.dtb with it. I may be able to get WiFi up and running in the future. But it may take more time.

If USB, WiFi and display 7seg works that would be great. Thanks for the tip. I'll try to figure out the DTB. I was able to build and run Armbian_23.11.0_server on my H96MAX by building it for a station-m2 device and replacing the dtb file. It turned out to be easier than I thought. I just need to figure out how to set up an automatic Armbian build with the right dtb file, the right partitions and boot.cmd. I just took the boot.cmd from the Orange Pi 3B Armbian Image, and trimmed it down to the bare minimum. The U-boot language is very similar to bash, and intuitive. I have some familiarity with Linux administration. This is my first experience with Linux maintenance. Carl Sagan is a very wise man.

I'm planning on learning how Kubernetes works on the H96 MAX as well. I even bought 4 H96 MAXs for this purpose. I will put them into a cluster. The processor is a bit weak, but for this price it is a great deal. The closest competitor is Orange Pi 3B, but it is a bit more expensive. No, WiFi and USB 2 don't work. I don't have any experience with it yet. As soon as I can run your image V0.7ARMBIAN23 - I already shared my results on this forum. I plan to remove xfce completely, turning it from a desktop version to a server version. I tried to run the system upgrade via "sudo apt full-upgrade", but after the upgrade the system stopped starting. How do you update Armbian on your work device? How do you update the Armbian image for this forum? Build a new image each time according to the instructions below https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ ?

Hi everyone! I have only recently started to get into Linux. I am not very knowledgeable about Linux on ARM. I was able to run ARMBIANv0.7BETA MMC on H96 MAX V56 RK3566 8G/64G. The link is to the files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h5O4c8MHqw1bvxvJMdfFE1KJrq8vpXhT/view?usp=drive_link ARMBIANv0.7BETA MMC was taken as a basis. I also needed an Armbian image from the Orange Pi 3B board. What I did: 1. MiniLoaderAll.bin and U-boot are taken from Armbian image from Orange Pi 3B board. 2. The /boot directory was moved to a separate bootfs partition. 3. Rename file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.bak in extlinux.conf.bak 4. In /boot directory boot.cmd and boot.scr files were created with the following contents setenv docker_optimizations "on" setenv bootlogo "false" echo "Boot script loaded from ${devtype} ${devnum}" if test "${docker_optimizations}" = "on"; then setenv bootargs "${bootargs} cgroup_enable=cpuset cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1"; fi if test "${bootlogo}" = "true"; then setenv consoleargs "splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles ${consoleargs}" else setenv consoleargs "splash=verbose ${consoleargs}" fi part uuid mmc 1:2 partuuid setenv bootargs androidboot.console=ttyFIQ0 root=PARTUUID=${partuuid} rootwait rw rootfstype=ext4 ${consoleargs} no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 splash p> load mmc 1:1 0x42000000 Image load mmc 1:1 0x44000000 dtb/rockchip/rk3566-firefly-roc-pc.dtb load mmc 1:1 0x46000000 uInitrd booti 0x42000000 0x46000000 0x44000000 # Recompile with: # mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr How to install this Armbian: On Windows OS: 1.
