Wifi chip?

@Sand_Death I just updated my build with @alexc's BSP changes, which include the latest AIC8800 drivers. I'm building an image right now, so I haven't tested it yet. I haven't tested Ethernet either. Maybe Alex can help you with that.

@Sergioclr remove those two Failing patches you don’t need them anyways.

@SecLyzer U-Boot can boot from a FAT32 or Linux file system. You can change this in your board configuration file.

@Sand_DeathDid you extract the image and use BalenaEtcher? It works fine on my Radxa Cubie A7A board.

@Taz Radxa's u-boot won’t load the kernel image. So I used vmlinux.

@Morales Morales when I have more free time.. busy with work the next couple of months.

If you want to use the official Armbian on Transpeed 8K618-T. I think all you really need is a board config file. I believe most of the drivers have been mainlined or included in the armbian patch directory. git clone https://github.com/armbian/build.git --branch v26.02 Copy this file into build/config/boards directory. transpeed-8k618-t.tvb # Allwinner H618 quad core 4GB RAM SoC WiFi USB BOARD_NAME="Transpeed 8k618-t" BOARDFAMILY="sun50iw9" BOARD_MAINTAINER="" BOOTBRANCH="tag:v2026.04" BOOTPATCHDIR="v2026-sunxi" BOOTCONFIG="transpeed-8k618-t_defconfig" OVERLAY_PREFIX="sun50i-h616" BOOT_LOGO="desktop" KERNEL_TARGET="current,edge" ./compile.sh build BOARD=transpeed-8k618-t BRANCH=edge BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=xfce DESKTOP_TIER=mid KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=trixie

@NiTr0 Are you referring to the deb packages? If you compile my newer kernel version for the 8k618-t, you’ll find the kernel deb packages in the output/debs directory. I haven't had a chance to test this myself yet. I've been buried with the Radxa Cubie A7A/A7S/A7Z projects, so I haven't had the time to update the build.

@qq20739111 Sorry, I forgot to update the kernel config. Ethernet should work now. @humanus "DP works without replugging"

@Gwainer try these images https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/tag/20250306

@SecLyzer You can find everything you need here

Support for DP Alt Mode is now functional for the A7S running kernel 6.6. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/tag/Radxa-cubie-A7S-v0.6.4

vkmark works on the Sway desktop. The mainline GPU driver still needs some work. I added A7A and A7S support; however, the A7S still needs to be tested. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/tree/Radxa-mainline-WIP I am using Debian Trixie with the XFCE desktop environment. A popup message should appear for the Sway installation. Please note that I haven't tested this configuration on other settings.

@Ducdanh Nguyen Your board is using a HiSilicon Hi3798MV310. I have no experience with this SoC. The kernel sources for this SoC are too old. You are better off finding another cheap box to run Armbian.
