What is more amazing is how "cheap" these boards and SOC providers are! They should be supporting projects like this, each with like US$ 5000/ month, which would be the low end cost of a resource, monthly! I see developers like BOOTLIN and others going through Kickstart projects to collect some money and do wonderful things with little resources, like the last one about Cedrus! Open source put a lot of pressure on the SW developers, while the H/W providers just expects "support" for free, while they sale their products and expect SW developers just to collect dust! Hopefully one day, this state of affairs would change, since SW development is the most costly piece of any high tech field.

Thank you! Yes, it worked! The Wi-Fi module "ssv6051" is not available! Thanks!

X96 Mini -- Does Ethernet works ? Which DTB should I use ? Thanks in advance! R

I guess it would be very helpful, if someone could build a table with the Box model, the DTB file used, and the status.

I was able to install: This image works: Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_3.14.29_mate_20180729.img But, I have been unable to get any 4.18 kernel to load correctly. I have read on this thread that some folks did it! Please share more info, thanks! R

HI all, I've got a X96mini box, and I'd like to get Armbian with 4.18 running on it. Could you tell me which version works ? I just need a headless device for now. Thanks, Rosimildo.

Have you checked which is the codec for the video ? You could use media_info to check it, for example. I know there are all kind of video encoding for this sample video. R

Most of the time that I had the OrangePI PC to die, it was the microSD card trashed.

Great News Igor got his Z28 running! I have one getting dust here, until someone with more skills solve the Reboot and Ethernet MAC address issue ( random MAC ). R

I have extract the DTS from this image: LUSHEN_XJH_ZY168_V00_A7_1_RTL8188ETV_RKMC_Z28_20170524104049.rar The logo seems to confirm it is Z-28, but the DTS says it is for RK3228, which seems wrong.... anyway, I have attached the files for your reference. logo.bmp z-28.dts

Hi all, Do we know if the DT for Z-28 is really identical to ROCK64 ? It seems folks are using a build for ROCK54, but I have not seen the DT files that describes this H/W. R

Berni, I have tried some of these "reboot" options, but none seems to work. A thing that I observed is that the LED on top goes "blue", and stay that way. During normal operation is kind of "orange" ( lightly ). Reapplying power, it boots normally. The bad news is that we can reboot from a script for example. R

Searching google a bit, I think this issue is very similar to what this guy reported: http://linux-sunxi.narkive.com/8Slp8vd7/allwinner-h5-orange-pi-pc-2-kernel-panic-using-dvb-t-key
