I recently did some trying to boot Armbian on this box and eventually got it not to recognize "Loader" mode using the reset button. It was working before I eventually flashed an not so compatible u-boot. I knew the risks, sh1t happens I was trying to boot Armbian from USB by the way, that is why I tried to do this. I discovered that the original firmware is the same as a H96 Max M1 PLUS as we can see from the official firmware file naming: rk3528_l001_H96_Max_M1PLUS_6621_64BIT_TAR-20251112.2200.img My question, as anyone had experience with this board? The idea is to ditch the original firmware and run HA on Armbian (I previously did this with another box using docker). I know the only option now is to "short" the eMMC in order to achieve "Maskrom" mode but there are no obvious pin points on the board.

@SteeMan thank you for the help! Well it is what it is, will look for the possible alternatives.

Hello everyone! I am trying to boot armbian on a Tanix X4 Pro 4GB/64GB - S905X4 cpu and can't figure out what u-boot file to use. Anyone had any success with a similar box/cpu? I managed to run Debian from here https://github.com/devmfc/debian-on-amlogic without issues using "meson-sc2-ah212-generic.dtb" config. I am trying to do the same with armbian but it seems boot config is a bit different, can someone point me into some resources or ideias? Thank you.
