  1. Never mind.   I got it to boot.  I used /dtb/amlogic/meson-sm1-h96-max-x3.dtb and u-boot-x96maxplus.bin.  This is the image I used:

    Armbian_23.05.0_amlogic_s905x3_bullseye_6.1.27_server_2023.05.12.img

     

    I first was able to boot using slarm (Slack Arm) for the X96 Max+

    That got me to try the x96maxplus u-boot.  I'm not sure if booting slarm did something to the box or if it was just a matter of using the right u-boot.  Either way, I'm glad it's working now.  Hope this helps someone.

  2. Hi.  I can't boot my HK1 S905X3 1000m box 4GB 32GB.  I've tried many dtbs, u-boots, and releases.   I've attached a copy of the picture of the box I have.  I've tried these releases, among others.

    I renamed u-boot-s905x2-s922 to u-boot.ext.  I changed the DTB in extlinux.conf.  I've tried fdt /dtb/amlogic/meson-sm1-hk1box-vontar-x3.dtb among many others.

     

    I can't get Armbian to boot.  I wind up at Android Recovery (the fallen Android guy).

     

    I've tried to boot from sdcard and USB drive.  SD card boot loops and the USB drive sends me to Android recovery.

     

    I've tried flashing the box to many different firmwares.

     

    I can boot to Coreelec from sdcard but Armbian does not boot.

     

    After booting Coreelec, just to make sure I could boot from another OS, I flash the box with stock firmware again.

     

    I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I could swear I had Armbian running on this box before.  Any help would be appreciated.

  3. I can't get Arbian to boot on my Scishion V88 Piano box.  I can get it to boot with the latest LibreElec nightly.  Ethernet even works.  I didn't try wifi.  Can I copy the dtb from LibreElec and use it to boot Armbian?   Just copy it into the /dtb directory on Armbian, update extlinux.conf and boot?  i see LibreElec and Armbian are both using the same kernel version so I'm thinking this should work.  Can anyone confirm?  Only one way to find out I guess.  I'll try this weekend and report back but if someone has experience with this, it would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Rob

  4. I have my V88 Piano box booting using the 09092018 image but I'm trying to get wifi working.  How can I tell if the onboard wifi is being recognized?  Is there something I can look for in dmesg?  I'm not seeing anything in network setting that would tell me there is a wifi device configured.

    @rob0809, what are you trying to say about the NIC speed? At GearBest, it is advertised as Gigabit. Are you saying that this is fake? Sorry, since I am not a native speaker, you lost me with the term "do a bait and switch on the advertised NIC speed" ...

    Yes, it is fake.  The connection is only 100Mb and has been confirmed by a couple of people.  It still gets my vote though but that's because I already own one.  :)

    @rob0809, wonder how your box is coming along with Linux while i'm early waiting for my boxes to arrive. ;)

     

    Sorry, I haven't had much time to play with it over the holidays.  Maybe in the new year.

    Thank you very much Rob for reporting. It's still not bad result for a start, booting from SD card seems to be a problem on many other boxes.

    I hope some developers could help to resolve the ethernet issues in the future.

    Can you test whether USB 3 port is working full speed?

     

    I'll test it when I get time.

  8. Finally received my SCISHION V88 Piano box.  I was able to burn the DietPi image for Rock64 to a micro SD card, place it in the micro SD slot, apply power and it booted up to a login.  The ethernet showed up as eth0 but I couldn't connect to anything.  Wireless also wasn't working.  I'm not sure what else is broken.

    Thanks for the TV Box link.

    But where I can find the image you loaded?

    Thanks again.

    It's in the first post in this thread.

     

    https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases/download/0.4.0/xenial-mate-rock64-0.4.0-63-armhf.img.xz

     

    I also tried the DietPi image for ROCK64 and that worked well too.  I loaded a Libreelec image and it booted but there was no sound.  Probably needs the correct device tree.

  10. Say man, I have SCISHION V88 mini II RK3229 TV Box.  I loaded the ROCK64 Ubuntu Mate image on a mcroSD card and it booted up without doing anything.  No toothpick, no standing on my head, no nothing.  Ethernet worked until I upgraded the kernel.  Or maybe it was because of the reboot.  Not sure.  The MAC address of the NIC changes with every reboot.  So I plugged a USB ethernet adapter into the USB 3.0 port and I had network connectivity again.  I was able to run Subsonic and Samba/NFS on it to make it a media and file server with decent throughput due to the USB 3.0 port.  For under $30, not a bad little box and things will only get better when/if a proper device tree is available for the box.  Well now that I think of it, the box was $30 but if you add another $10 for a USB NIC and another $10 for a  USB 3.0 hub, it loses it's appeal as a cheap NAS.
