  1. Update on this box. 

    Got wifi working fine. Everything works well with SD Boot. Installing to EMMC brings me to this error

     

    
    U-Boot SPL 2024.01_armbian-2024.01-S866c-Pa67d-H5afb-Vc88c-B2eb2-R448a (Feb 15 2026 - 18:20:18 -0500)

    Chasing down what could be causing this.

    @sicxnull Yes, I can try to extract the DBT. How can I do that?

     boot up armbian. check the /dev partition

    You will see 

    mmcblk0
    mmcblk2,etc

    The android image likely has many partitions. so you will see mmcblk2-9 etc, thats what we want

    Go ahead and dump the first 250mb (probably more than needed but just in case) into an image file and upload it, i can extract the dtb from that

    assuming mmcblk2 is what we want, you would run
     

    sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk2 of=mmcblk2-first250mb.img bs=1M count=250 status=progress



    then upload that.

    Hello Everyone, I've seen a few threads on these boards but wanted to create a centralized source for information. 

    It's my understanding there are multiple variants of these boards, the one I have and used is IK316Q-EMCP_V4.1

    I know there are other versions without UART ports, mine was lucky enough to have them. 

    To build this image (adjust the compile command to your liking)
     

    git clone https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build
    cd armbian-build
    git checkout MXQ-PRO
    ./compile.sh build BOARD=mxqpro-h313 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED= DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=cinnamon DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base EXPERT=yes KERNEL_BTF=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm

    Unfortunately this board was already flashed with MiniArch by the time i got it, so i was unable to get the original DTB. Therefore, wifi does not work

    Is someone able to get the DTB from this board so we can get wifi working?

    After a ton of time porting the dts for modern kernels, i have a working release for the Bobcat 300 29X Variant

    To compile

    https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/tree/Bobcat-29x

    .

    ./compile.sh build BOARD=bobcat-29x BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes  EXPERT=yes KERNEL_BTF=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=NO KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm

    First check to see if you have a compatible version. Flip the unit over and check the serial number. It will start with G290 or 295. This does not work on 28 or 285.

    How to Flash
    1) Install Rockchip Flash Tools 
    2) Download bootloader (rk356x_spl_loader_ddr1056_v1.10.111.bin) attached here
    3) Boot device into LOADER mode. 

    • Plug USB Cable in to back of the unit, powered off. 
    • Open the device. With it powered on hold the reset button for 1 second, then immediately let off and hold the recovery button down until the PC recognizes you in LOADER mode

    4) Follow the flash procedure found here

     

    WARNING

     

    While I2C/Spidev is functional, i did not install Helium or the Lora packet forwarder for testing. Flash this image at your own risk if you still wish to use helium mining.

    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.
