The reason I suggested "sudo git format-patch -1 v2024.01" was because I can only generate kernel patches this way. It use to work before but branch names changed from "linux-6.7.y" to "kernel-sunxi64-6.7". sudo git format-patch linux-6.7.y use to work sudo git format-patch kernel-sunxi64-6.7 Does not work sudo git format-patch -1 kernel-sunxi64-6.7 works -<n> Prepare patches from the topmost <n> commits.

Maybe it's a bad HDMI cable?

I think for openvfd LED to work you need these lines in your dts. You probably have to modify it with the correct GPIO settings for your box. You can find it in the android dts. I haven't tested this yet. https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/kernel/linux-6.10/files/0568-arm64-dts-allwinner-tanix-tx6-enable-wifi-cpu-dvfs.patch + openvfd { + compatible = "open,vfd"; + dev_name = "openvfd"; + openvfd_gpio_clk = <&pio 3 25 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>; /* PD25 */ + openvfd_gpio_dat = <&pio 3 26 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>; /* PD26 */ + vfd_gpio_chip_name = "300b000.pinctrl"; + openvfd_chars = [02 04 03 02 01]; + openvfd_dot_bits = [00 01 03 02 04 05 06]; + openvfd_display_type = <0x03000001>; + status = "okay"; + }; Driver patches and service init script. https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/tree/master/script/kernel/openvfd More info found in CoreELEC https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/how-to-configure-vfd/427/43?page=3 vfd-configurations ( looking at these configurations you can set gpio here. I'll look more into it when I have time off.) https://github.com/arthur-liberman/vfd-configurations

I ran the commands above and the only changes I made was the build directory name. On sicXnull repository it's called "armbian-build" instead of "build".

Here's a step by step instructions to compile and create your own image. Make sure you "ctrl c" after the kernel patches are applied. The build erases the cached kernel source when completed. You want the patches applied before you stop the build. First link are the files I usually edit. Second link is how to make a patch and build your own image.

Run these commands again. sudo git status sudo git add configs/x96q_lpddr3_defconfig sudo git add root_key.pem sudo git commit --signoff (Remember the first line patch title and the second line patch description.) sudo git format-patch v2024.01 maybe you didn’t commit the patch? Git commit usually opens up a text editor. When you run "sudo git status" and the output still shows "modified: configs/x96q_lpddr3_defconfig" then you haven't commit the changes yet. your patch should look similar to mine.

Try this command with -1 after format-patch sudo git format-patch -1 v2024.01

Vontar H618 and Tanix TXs6 H616 are supported by miniarch and armbian. There are 3 different tanix_tx6s boards. Not sure which version is supported by armbian. But you shouldn't have trouble porting over the other boards to armbian. https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/tree/master/script/bootloaders board-h616.tanix_tx6s board-h616.tanix_tx6s_axp313 board-h616.tanix_tx6s_lpddr3 Vontar is almost exactly the same as transpeed 8K618. I think the wifi chip is the only difference. https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/kernel/linux-6.10/files/0642-arm64-dts-allwinner-h616-add-Tanix-TX6s-TVbox.patch https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/kernel/linux-6.10/files/0647-arm64-dts-allwinner-h618-add-vontar-h618-TVbox.patch I haven't had time to play with the LED yet.

You can clone the original armbian build (git clone https://github.com/armbian/build.git), sicXnull build (git clone https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build.git --branch X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3 --single-branch) or my build (git clone https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build.git --branch v20240918) SicXnull has the latest fixes for X96Q LPDDR3. If you want to use the 6.10 kernel with hdmi support I can modify the X96Q config on my build to include both current and edge kernels. git clone https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build.git --branch X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3 --single-branch cd armbian-build ./compile.sh In the choose board menu click on "Show CSC/WIP/EOS/TVB" option then choose "x96q". Choose "current", "bookworm", server or desktop doesn't matter. Any desktop environment. Any software. (After the u-boot patches are applied and u-boot starts to build) ctrl C Create patches for u-boot: cd cache/sources/u-boot-worktree/u-boot/v2024.01 sudo git add . (For the first line patch title you can put "test" and the second line patch description put "test". Doesn't matter right now.) sudo git commit --signoff sudo pico configs/x96q_lpddr3_defconfig Add this line to your defconfig. CONFIG_SPL_IMAGE_TYPE_SUNXI_TOC0=y sudo openssl genrsa -out root_key.pem sudo git status sudo git add configs/x96q_lpddr3_defconfig sudo git add root_key.pem sudo git commit --signoff (Remember the first line patch title and the second line patch description.) sudo git format-patch v2024.01 Copy the patch to this armbian build directory. ~/build/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/ ./compile.sh Your new image should be in output/images directory.

Allwinner h618 (and maybe h626/h313) has an issue reading emmc during boot. The code is noway perfect. The read and write speeds go back to normal when the kernel is loaded. I guess we can add code to prevent other SOC’s from loading the code if not needed.

Can post your nand chip... maybe we can figure out the problem.

Do you have any info on what the problem might be?

Have you tried Miniarch's EMMC patch? https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/bootloaders/u-boot-h616/files/107-sunxi_mmc-dec-f_max-to-12MHz-to-get-emmc-reliable.patch

I edited the broadcom kernel drivers. /drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/include/brcm_hw_ids.h #define BRCM_CC_43342_CHIP_ID 43342 /drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c BRCMF_FW_DEF(43342, "brcmfmac43342-sdio"); BRCMF_FW_ENTRY(BRCM_CC_43342_CHIP_ID, 0xFFFFFFFF, 43342), I made a patch for you. Copy the patch to build/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.9/patches.armbian directory. Edit build/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.9/series.armbian and build/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.9/series.conf to include the new patch. Then copy firmware files below to your sdcard. drivers-net-wireless-brcmfmac-add-43342-firmware.patch 43342_firmware.tar.gz

Can you open your box and take a picture of the wifi chip?

You need to edit these patches or create your own. Then add them to the armbian build. u-boot: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/bootloaders/u-boot-h616/files/163-add-x96-q-ddr3-v5.1-defconfig.patch Linux Kernel: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/kernel/linux-6.10/files/0651-arm64-dts-allwinner-h313-add-x96q-v5.1-TVbox.patch

For Allwinner boxes you need to add this line to your u-boot defconfig. CONFIG_SPL_IMAGE_TYPE_SUNXI_TOC0=y To generate a TOC0 image from a binary, you will need an RSA key (pair) file. As most secure-boot enabled devices do not burn the VENDOR_ID eFUSE, you can use any RSA key, so just generate one, for instance with the openssl tool (would only need to be done once): openssl genrsa -out root_key.pem Your root_key.pem needs to be in the u-boot root directory.

Download these two firmware files and copy to /lib/firmware/brcm directory on your sdcard. https://github.com/LibreELEC/brcmfmac_sdio-firmware brcmfmac4334-sdio.bin brcmfmac4334-sdio.txt

https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2 close to to the bottom of the page. Allwinner H6 OrangePi-3 LTS not works (aw859a) Allwinner H616 OrangePi-Zero2 works (aw859a@SDIO) Allwinner H618 OrangePi-Zero3 works (uwe5622a@SDIO) I guess uwe5622 and aw859a are the same. OrangePi 3 LTS does not use SDIO. I'm pretty sure T95Z Plus does.

My transpeed image should boot on all the boxes you listed. X98H PRO: you need to edit the transpeed dts and change the gpio for mmc0. Android DTS. cd-gpios = <0x00000023 0x00000005 0x00000006 0x00000011>; Armbian/Linux DTS cd-gpios = <&pio 5 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* PF6 */ This shows a picture of the x96. I have the non-pro version of the X98H and I'm pretty sure it's a AIC8800 chip. http://nskhuman.ru/allwinner/x98hpro.php?np=3 you might have a hard time getting the AIC8800 driver for wifi to work. I haven't spent a lot of time on it. https://github.com/radxa-pkg/aic8800/tree/3.0%2Bgit20240327.3561b08f-2 I'm working on the 6.10 kernel right now. I'm going to release a custom dts for X98H when I'm done.

I see two different dram settings in your dtb. Not sure which is the correct one. Lets try the first one.

Your welcome Kazekami. If you have a working box. Make a board config. Post your board config, u-boot defconfig, u-boot dts and linux kernel dts. I can make a patch for you and add it to my build. It will help others with the same box as yours. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/blob/main/config/boards/transpeed-8k618-t.wip

H313/H616 is very similar to H618. If you read the H618 thread you might find some useful information.

Hi L Jumadi You need the correct defconfig for your u-boot. You can use sunxi-fw to extract your DRAM setup. https://github.com/apritzel/sunxi-fw You can use an android update firmware or your extracted boot0. Also, you can run a statically linked sunxi-fw on the boot block device from Android, like "sunxi-fw info -v /dev/block/mmcblk1", to dump the DRAM parameters (if you have root there) for example Orangepie zero 3 has lpddr4.
