    I have installed both Armbian and MiniArch, but neither system performs well in desktop environments. Does anyone know if there is an emulation system like LibreELEC, EmuELEC or RetroArch for the X96Q?


    hardware limitations. these things are not powerhouses.

    The first piece affects all devices and will be applied directly in the u-boot code. 

     


    correct me if i'm wrong, but the point of a board level patch is so that it does not apply to all devices, no? 

    that's the point of creating the board_x96q subdirectory instead of just adding the patches to the u-boot sunxi directory. 

    You can see this when building armbian.

    If there is still interest, I can try testing the newer variant of the Onn box with the S905Y4. 

    It seems to me this could be super useful (especially if we can flash to the EMMC in the future). It could be a relatively cheap RPI alternative for things like pihole.


    From what i understand the bootloaders are locked and cannot be unlocked on the new ones, but there's always the possibility that there's a workaround. I need to run to walmart and grab one to play with, but if you make any progress by all means, let us know! 

    For $20 these things would be great for pihole/light work like you mentioned.

    Ive been watching this topic for about a week, and i'll be honest, I've no idea on half of what you're talking about.

    However, I too have a redundant X96Q box, which i'd like to try and run linux so I can then try and run Home Assistant.

    I flashed Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img to an SD card with Rufus and then again with Belena Etcher, but the TV box wont start with the SD card inserted, although when I say it doesnt boot.. I see nothing through HDMI and the LED remains red.

    I know its a long shot.

    But is it currently possible to run on the V4 board (image attached),

    i see that youre all working hard in the background, so maybe something for me to come back and look at in a few weeks/months. ?



    hmmm. that's another variant

    Can you try one of these miniarch images and see if they boot? we know X96Q LPDDR3 does not but there are two other variants to try

    if one of those boot we will atleast know what we are dealing with, unless someone here is already familiar with that board.

    I confirm that I test:

    https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/releases/download/v24.8.0-trunk.425/Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img.xz

    boots from eMMC and runs well on my old Z1 (x9q v1.3 lpddr3)  variant. Ethernet, Hdmi, CPU Temp is working correctly now.


    Nice! I just ordered another X96Q off aliexpress, hoping its a different version so we can get all variants on Armbian.

    @sicxnull I would have handled it myself, but I don't know how to correctly format *.patch so that it would calculate all the amounts and indexes for me.

    And another question: does the installation work on EMMC? Have you added the patch for EMMC from minimyth to your github?

    My Git boots from EMMC. i haven't sent it over to the main armbian repo because i want to tidy some stuff up first and just do one last pull request

    After you ported the code from Miniarch, I compared the differences in the configs of x96q-lpddr3 and x96q-ddr3-v5.1 and I managed to build and run the image on my TV box. But I did it roughly, replacing the differences in the code, I'm not very friendly with Linux. Could you please format it correctly and upload it to github. I'm attaching the differences in the code.


    I only have the 1.3 board. I actually need to rename this to x96qv1.3

    I was not aware how many versions of this board were out there when i initally made this

    I'm going to try and order some more and hope the other versions come.  If i can get one i'll absolutely upload it after testing. it seems like it's pretty easy after what you just posted

    You are incorrectly adding patches to the build system.
    Patches should be extracted using the "git format-patch" command and should contain small explanations of what and for what reason these changes were made.

    You should not add the patch somewhere in the middle of the series list.
    This can lead to subsequent patches being applied incorrectly and becoming inapplicable.
    As a result, we get a compilation error at best, or incorrectly compiled code at worst.


    okay. thanks for the feedback.
