Hi Igor, keep up great work. As mentioned in the Bottom line I made it. The headers just did not install instantly :)- Do you by chance need the compiled new drivers ? Made it for rtl8153 and asix 88179 .

DO NOT READ FURTHER I GOT IT COMPILED after typing "apt-get install htop" it started to install the headers.... strange ------------------------------------------------------------ Hey guys, I am stuck: Followed this: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/#how-to-build-a-wireless-driver Try to port it to r8152.ko (RTL8153) / ax88179_178.ko I. (Before I started "apt-get update && upgrade") 1. Install Armbian Headers via armbian-config (Check) 2. wget http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88179_178A_LINUX_DRIVER_v1.18.0_SOURCE.tar.bz2 (Check) 3. aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) (Check) 4. tar -xjf AX88179_178A_LINUX_DRIVER_v1.18.0_SOURCE.tar.bz2 (Check) 5. cd AX88179_178A_LINUX_DRIVER_v1.18.0_SOURCE/ (Check) 6. chmod a+x Makefile (Check) 7. make Then this comes: I checked path : "/lib/modules/4.14.4-sunxi64/build" and it is not existing. II. Tryed to change Path of Makefile "KDIR = /usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.4-sunxi64" Then i get III. then i tried : :/ - Just want to have the latest drivers for the USB3.0 to Ethernet Cards..... ANybody maybe successfull with that ?

Hi - A: Negative (Bluetooth) . ...and Ethernet is falling back to 100MBit/s all the time. I am waiting for new Test versions. The main Problem is the *.dtb file . The meson1.dtb from Android has to be made new for the 4.x Kernel everytime. But my knowledge about *.dtb / Device Tree Blobs ís very little to nothing. So I need time to understand it. With the right dtb everything should work, because Armbian then knows the Hardware-Adresses e.g. 0x01 = ethernet rtl 81... 0x02 = bluetooth and so on. It was just lucky that 3.x and 4.x Versions of Balbes are running "a bit" on this Machine. They have a lot in common but not everything. So more developing is needed. As far as I can see we are theonly both who are interested in running linux smothly on this machines - So let's see how long it takes to find a third one. I am Developing arround this box no since January. And in case you just want to watch Netflix with the Box, the Remix OS 2.0 is just the better choice in this moment. Because they created a working system arround the Hardware. I am looking forward, that everything will work smothly in Armbian in the future, but it needs time. Best wishes, Bruce

Why I was so stupid to not test ist. :S Fixed in the HowTo!

Are you using the Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img.xz ?

HOWTO was not complete. Read ist again. Steps 10-18 were missing. Sorry

HOWTO install Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate + Wifi on Orbsmart RX-01 / Vensmile U1 / Unuiga S905 (Windows 10) THIS IS DEV. No Support. Tools: 7zip (unpack Balbes FIles form Yandisk), Etcher (Burn unpacked Image to SD Card) Hardware: Orbsmart RX-1 , min. 8GB (Micro)SD Card, (Micro)SDCard Reader 1. go to url: https://yadi.sk/d/srrtn6kpnsKz2/Linux/ARMBIAN/Test 2. Download Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img.xz 3. Download & Install 7 Zip : http://7-zip.org/download.html 4. Extract with 7zip: Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img.xz C:\temp (Create Folder if needed) 5. Now you have: Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img 6. Download & Install & Run Etcher: https://etcher.io/ (Ir Win32 DiskImager ..or another DiskImagining tool or use dd in linux) 7. Put your SD Card into the PC and Flash (With Etcher) the Micro-SD Card with the Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img 8. Safely Remove and then put your SD card back 9. Watch this Tutorial from Min 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0Sdu9pTMs4&feature=youtu.be&t=2m 10. Instead od using meson_gxbb_201.dtb in the video use meson-gxbb-vega-s95-telos.dtb from the dtb_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate folder. 11. copy meson-gxbb-vega-s95-telos.dtb into the root folder of your SD Card [BOOT] and safely remove the drive from Windows 10. 12. Put Micro SD Card to your Orbsmart RX-01 aka / Vensmile U1 / aka Unuiga U1 13. Orbsmart RX-01 should again start to Remix OS 2.0 [If not it should start Armbian now :D] 14. Download via Goole Play Store "APK Manager" 15. Make Orbsmart RX-01 boot from SD Card : Download http://update-backup.apk.black/ and install it via APK Manager 16. Open now this "Update&Backup" APP in REMIX OS on the Orbsmart RX-01 17. Install aml_autoscript.zip which is on the SDCard - THAT should make the machine boot from SD Card 18. Power it on - et voila! It should work! Additionals: Make Wifi work (in Linux): 1. wget https://forum.armbian.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=1879 or copy this code to a file of your choice: https://github.com/OpenELEC/wlan-firmware/blob/master/firmware/brcm/ap6330-nvram.txt 2. cp attachment.php?id=1879 /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt # Now the brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt contains the correct information for the brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin 3. reboot Fix Ethernet MAC RTL 8211F (in Linux): At the moment the MAC Adress of the Ethernet is changing after every reboot. Maybe it has something to do with EMAC. url: http://linux-sunxi.org/Ethernet#Setting_the_MAC_address nano /etc/network/interfaces -> EDIT and ADD here hwadress ether with the Original MAC or a Fantasy Mac # Wired adapter #1 allow-hotplug eth0 no-auto-down eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx <- Fix the Mac here Thx @Balbes150! Thx @ARMBIAN Developers! Thx @MXQProject To DOs: - This is Developer: I isolated original "meson1.dtb" it is attached. feel free to decompile and develop - Did not test Audio or Bluetooth - Did not Install Mali Driver yet Cheers Bruce meson1.dtb ap6330-nvram.txt

Ah thanks - that's exactly what I wrote you on you youtube ? ! Or are you another Ralph ? -

Hi all, I am writing because i took the AMLogic Project to get deeper in Linux. First of all @balbes150 and to every Armbian Developer : GREAT F()/"§! WORK! I used the " ARMBIAN 5.32 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929-amlogics905x" So let's get to the point. $dmesg | grep brcm .. [ 10.139138] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x16044330 [ 10.140995] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_map_chip_to_name: using brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin for chip 0x004330(17200) rev 0x000004 .. SO actually this is telling me there is a special wifi driver mapped. I was not able to find the mapping. Even not in the decompiled dtb . There it is mapping to 4329 (?!) [Extract from DTB "meson-gxbb-vegas-95-telos.dtb" (decompiled to dts)] wifi@1 { reg = <0x1>; compatible = "brcm,bcm4329-fmac"; }; I need to map it to "fw_bcm40183b2.bin" which is in the /lib/firmware/brcm folder. I took the "nvram.txt" from the original Android Remix OS 2.0 and renamed it to "fw_bcm40183b2.txt" The only thing i gotta do is to remap the driver and I have no clue where to find it. Sorry for beeing stupid. With a trick I just overwrote the drivers which are mapped with renamed files -> "fw_bcm40183b2.bin" is now "brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin" -> "fw_bcm40183b2.txt" is now "brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt" That worked 100% for testing! (After /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa-supplicant.conf AND etc/network/interfaces were adjusted) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 44:2c:05:00:df:3a inet addr:192.168.178.106 Bcast:192.168.178.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::462c:5ff:fe00:df3a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:25617 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:27158 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:9415173 (9.4 MB) TX bytes:19477541 (19.4 MB) But now I wanna map the right driver. Thanks for any help PS: And after that there is a bunch more of S905 TV boxes, which will run properly with <3 Armbian <3
