I know its only the read/write speed.
like with ssd most interesting param for us in sd it's random i/o speed. It can variable in one products line and it can be lower with time.

Hi,
What steps did you use to have it working on h96max2 ? I burned a lot of different images to SD card, changed to all possible g12 DTBs, but each time I go to the update section and select the aml_update.zip from the card, it reboots, tries to load it, and fails with a broken android robot and just "Error!". It then reboots again on the android.
Mine is flashed with android 9 (from https://mega.nz/#F!enh1kIYD!FdtiQoEO0V4awyrEZRwUew from https://www.h96tvbox.com/content/6-Firmware-upgrade ), could it be the issue ? I read that some were using ddr3 instead of ddr4, how could I check this ?
Just write image, change dtb x96-max-rmii and run box with reset button in av.

I understood correctly that when using the latest 5.2.1 kernel image with DTBS that are part of the image, the wired network does not work. But when using the old dtb (for 5.1 kernel) with the latest 5.2 kernel, does the wired network work ?
No... wired network work with dtb from 5.2.1
SpoilerНет. dtb из 5.2.1, сеть по проводу работает только с g12a-x96-max-rmii как и в прошлых образах.

I am interested in the wired network in the latest version of the image (with kernel 5.2.1) using DTB from the image. You can check it out ?
ok... in a few hours, then I will edit this post.
upd Same behavior as before wired network work only with g12a-x96-max-rmii DT.

There are owners of s905x2 with models of TV boxes with a wired network of 100Mb ?
Yep... i have 2 different models with 100mb h96max2 and x96max in both case netwok work with meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb

I see. Is there anything I can do with the dtb/dts that would allow me to use it with this armbian build?
Rewrite it. Use armbian as example. Write correct memory/bus addresses etc. You can find specific help in google just type "Device tree"

Hello,
After trying lots of the provided DTBs, I have found a few files that allow me to successfully boot into the OS. However, I am yet to find one that provides ethernet or even better, wireless connectivity. Therefore I figured it'd be better to just dump the DTB from my box's ROM.
The extracted DTB from /dev/dtb turned out to be around 256KB, much bigger than the ones already provided. After de- and recompiling this DTB using:
dtc -I dtb -O dts -o dts.img dtb.img
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o newdtb.img dts.img
I ended up with newdtb.img being around ~32KB. Not bad.
After copying this file to my SD card and specifying it in uEnv.ini, however, armbian refuses to boot.
Why is this? Am I missing something here? Both the decompiling and compiling process spitted out some warnings, which I both ignored since the readable dts output seemed fine to me.
Thanks!
You can't use dtb from android as is...

I see, do you know of ny other Linux for that cpu?
lol... just compile from sources (RK legacy or mainline) u-boot and kernel and install/compile package what you want. or use image from rk topick)

If there is no rush, I recommend waiting until the price announcement for VIM3 and Ugos AM6. If not a secret, what tasks are they going to do with this equipment ?
info Beelink s922
High performance soc with flat metal heat sink... what a genius R&D)
-
different ram clock maybe, or some other options in DT.

I finally “killed” my last tv box on s905x. How does s905x2 feel like in linux? According to synthetic tests, should the power of new soc be sufficient for sw video decoding up to 1080p? Does it make sense to pay a little extra and get boxes on the new soc?
-
It's just chromium fork with minor tweaks... Use instruction for chromium.

audio subsystem via rca don't work in mainline. Use hdmi audio or usb audio card.

Remember that if you brick your TV box, you can always restore it using the SD card method. 😎
Not always. If you break the u-boot being in nand there may be problems. If the u-boot in nand is broken, it was possible to restore the operation of the box only by closing the nand contacts and writing the correct u-boot or full image.

Mmmmm, maybe download the source and compile it yourself?
Is it necessary? Firefox work fine with multimedia, next build of chromium may also be fine. Chromium is very resource intensive at compile time(one build with compiliting time ~3 hours need 16 threads cpu ~ 32Gb ram and ~100 gb storage on ssd).

That might be due to poor programming in chromium, how does the test video run for you?
Not sure. Rather, the problem is in different compilation flags. Half a year ago, the situation was reversed, in favor of chromium. Looks like chromium use hardlocked gpu acceleration options and video decoding use sw opengl.
I tested versions only from repositories, and it is not known who compilated them and how. Test video from balbes150 smooth. My own sample h264 720p and 1080p looks ok too. As before but now it work out of box(no need run video with flags --vo --sws-scaler manually)

Some curious observations. All test on latest 5.75 bionic desktop image screen resolution 1080p(generic s905x tv box)
Spoilerhttps://i.imgur.com/H60AxX1.png - firefox 65(aarch64) zero drops, smooth playback 1080p youtube video in browser(still high cpu usage make sure you have good cooling)
https://i.imgur.com/jd88Xgp.png- chromium 71(aarch64) a large frames drop, not smooth playback

Is it possible to put, in my case hdmi monitor to sleep, without the need for manually turning it off, i know this is maybe silly question that crossed my mind, but i do want to know.
I know i've read somewhere that power management functions like suspend or hubernate are impossible to implement, but this shouldn't be impossible?I didn't try, but dpms may work... https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_Power_Management_Signaling

@Reddwarf It's vpu job... https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/meson.html But without properly work v4lm2m, with software decoding we don't have hw scaling, and default scaling algorithm very heavy I mention early that if you play video which does not match with display resolution use --sws-scaler=fast-bilinear it give a huge performance boost
P.S. Sorry for russian only, but that message was mainly for balbes150

Found a strange behavior of the MPV on the latest builds. If start playing a video file (720p) on the desktop with a resolution of 1080p, with the option "--vo=x11". The video is shown without brakes in a window with a size of 720 (equal to the resolution of the video). If try to expand to full screen, the video starts to slow down. If run 1080p video, the windowed video slows down, but if you switch to full screen, it works without brakes. If change the desktop resolution to 720, 720p video works without brakes in windowed and full-screen mode. I don't understand why the 1080 video with the 1080 desktop is slow, but works full screen without brakes. What is the reason for this behavior ?
SpoilerТакое поведение было во всех релизах) ИМХО, связано это в первую очередь со скалингом видео, с софтварным скалингом. С 720p soc еще справляется, в режиме "в окне" с 1080p - уже проблемно. При проигрывание в фулскрине соответствующего разрешения ничего скалить не нужно, и соответственно проблем нет. P.S. Видел упоминанние про puppyrus, но упорно не получается зарегестрироваться на puppyrus, просто не приходит письмо активации на ящик gmail)

I am Running Armbian_5.67_Aml-s9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.19.7_desktop_20181218 on an MAGICSEE N4 TV Box (meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb)
The box runs quite fine, i am very impressed. Thanks a lot for your work.
I am struggling to change the resolution of the HDMI out. on my full HD screen it runs fine, but i want tu run it on my 1024x768 screen via an DVI Adapter.
Can't find the hdmi.sh script mentioned on the first page.
Thanks a lot
Johannes
(ver 5.44 =<) For mainline just use regular method via xorg parametrs, or if you use desktop standart xfce4 instrumments in settings.

@balbes150Will there be support for OrangePi 3 H6? Or is it already supported?
I think the question is more correct to ask in the main branch of armbian. But H6 still has very basic support. http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort BSP kernel it's junk in most case) and not for end user.

thanks but unfortunate i got 1080p ! It is possible to overclock this cpu cause in the box it show 2Ghz of cpu clock speed , but in ubuntu is 1,2Ghz and Go full load when i scrolling but not smooth
You soc maximum 1.2GHz by amlogic blob...

You don't need it now. And why you just don't use dd, base busybox utility, and any text editor to change dtb in uEnv.txt/extlinux.conf
And if you talk about DT from stock adroid, it probably unusable with other kernel(mainline in armbian) without huge editing.
