@Jeeva Kandasamy it’s on this page https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/tree/v20250306

@snow https://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot I haven’t tried this before.

@snow download balena etcher and flash the image onto a sdcard. This will boot armbian off the sdcard. Unless you use armbian-config and write to emmc you will be fine.

@Jeeva Kandasamy I haven't had that error before. Maybe your host is out of date. Have you tried "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"?

@Jeeva Kandasamy correct

@Jeeva Kandasamy I would freeze your kernel updates using armbian-config. I’m using a custom kernel so it will break your system. I made google search and found this. https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4600

@MeJune A523/T527 support still needs a lot of work. There is no HDMI support yet. So you will need to install a usb serial device to your uart to interact with your box. You can find details at the botton of the site you posted https://linux-sunxi.org/X96QPro%2B. You could try warpme minimyth2 or miniarch. He has the latest support for these boxes. I don't own a X96q pro+ so I can't help you.

@Unrealchex The base-files error is a known issue. You'll need to run the ./compile command a second time and it should continue where it left off. Here's a post that show's you how to create patches. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/29794-how-to-install-armbian-in-h618/#findComment-227058 You want to edit u-boot and kernel dts.

Delete the cache and output folder. Try again.

@John Taylor I found the driver source code for your wifi but it's for an older android/linux kernel. I asked info@lb-link.com for the linux/android driver. They sent me SWT6621S_H25.34.7.1_F25.34.6.1.rar

@emor acid The error above says you are missing node or label "reg_gmac_3v3". Add this just below "reg_vcc5v" in in your dts. https://github.com/The-going/linux-sf/blob/aa1ea7ec81c99dbc42f6d2ea4244ab4f54d0f3ee/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h618-bananapi-m4-berry.dts#L101-L108 reg_gmac_3v3: gmac-3v3 { compatible = "regulator-fixed"; regulator-name = "gmac-3v3"; regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>; regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>; regulator-always-on; vin-supply = <&reg_vcc5v>; };

@Unrealchex try the x98h image. Or you’ll need to take the wifi node from x98h and add it to your dts. Not sure why your build stops in the middle of the kernel patches without any errors. Are you sure that's the full log?

@dale git clone https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build.git --branch v20251014

@Tomi Skies It could be your gpio settings. You need to extract your original android dts. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/29794-how-to-install-armbian-in-h618/page/4/#comment-187672

@Tomi Skies XR819 shoud work. Can you post your dmesg log.
