[Tanix TX9S]

hi,

 

I just want to share my experience with running armbian with Tanix TX9S. I recently bought it from gearbest because it was the lowest-prices S912 device with 1Gbps ethernet. I intent to use it with armbian/Home Assistant. Note that TX9S does NOT have a BT.

 

I also tried with meson-gxm-q200.dtb with both the desktop/cli version of debian buster. The ethernet works, but no wifi was detected.

 

I then tried meson-gxm-q201.dtb. While it boots, either ethernet nor wifi was detected.

 

While I intent to use my TX9S as a headless server, I nonetheless wonder if one can get wifi to work with armbian?  I am willing to help in any way I can.

 

regards,

just a quick update. I've been using the same Microsoft/Nokia phone charger but changed the SD card to an 8gig ADATA class-10 microsd card and the system has been stable for the past 7-days.  In the meantime, the usb PSU I ordered from Microsoft (the original 2.5A psu for RPI3) has arrived, which I'll be testing next.

understood. I just ordered the official 2.5A usb PSU for RPI3 from Microsoft Store. Will report back once I receive it.

Thanks to both of you who responded. My problem is that I cannot reach the armbien/orange pi zero via both ssh nor the webinterface (pi hole).  I am using wired ethernet with DHCP, though it is static-DHCP so it always get the same private address.

 

Given I have no video-output option, I have no way to confirm if it is indeed down or a DHCP lease issue.

 

I am using a cell-phone charger (Microsoft/Nokia) as the PSU; the usb cable is part of the charger (i.e. not a separate cable).  For the time-being, I am debugging by replacing the SD card but keeping the usb charger. The SD card I am using right now is a 8gb ADATA class-10 microsd.

 

will report back in a few days,

Greetings,

 

I recently purchased an Orange Pi Zero for the purpose of Pi-Hole. I have been running Pi-Hole on a Raspberry Pi-1 under Jessie and the stability was great. I never had to worry about it.

 

However, with Orange Pi Zero, running Armbian/Jessie as well, I get a maximum of 2 days of up-time.  This is a standard armbian/jessie installation with only pi-hole installed. Since there is no video output (I did not purchase the extension board), I had to perform a power-off/on.

 

Without ruling out the possibility of hardware fault (SD card or USB power supply), does anyone have stability problem of Armbian/Jessie on Orange Pi Zero?

 

I'll attempt to use a different (newer) SD card and USB Power. Any thoughts on what might cause the problem is very appreciated,
