I didn't remember adding manually any dtb.img with 5.34 version or maybe an old one?
Can the system boot without adding a dtb file?
Anyway this evening I try to find wich dtb is suitable for my MXQ PRO 4K and MXQ PRO 4K.
Thanks @guidol
Hey @balbes150 I don't understand the process to try different dtb files.
By example, in Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20180205.img.xz in the BOOT partition
I can find a folder called /dtb/ other /dtb-3.14.29/ and other /dtb-3.14.29.old/ but not a file called dtb.img inside or outside this folders.
Can you check the instructions in the first page of this post and update the information?
Please
More or less same results here with supposed MXQ PRO and MXQ PRO Plus (different Wi-Fi as show on previous images). Last image working without issues are Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20171226.img. But I can't make run any kernel 4.9 or new Mali images.
OK, I'm a lazy guy. I run Ubuntu in my main computer so I only need to download, apply patch and compile.
At the end of the process I obtain a complete .img file ready to write in the card?
I only can find a couple of mentions, here in English: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/amlogic-based-tv-players/s905x/639329-m96x-max-4k-hdr-vp9-tv-box-android-6-0-amlogic-s905x-2g-16g-802-11b-g-n-lan-kodi-bluetooth/page4

And if you say "Strange" for me thats mean no-wifi on armbian
Thanks!!!
gparted, gnome disk utility, dd with dev zeo, dd with dev random, diskpart from windows, sd formatter from windows, disk utility from MacOS, try to format with an Android movile, ... NOTHING WORKS!!!
Yes, I know I think the 1.3.0 bricked two of my cards and that's supossed can't happens but for sure I have now two Read Only microSD card and i try every single method on every single platform ... and nothing. Bricked.
Also I need to do something with the stock heat sink, because the SoC is the same than the ODROID-C2. This heat sink is far away the size and for sure the performance.
Hi @balbes150 I finally manage to open my MXQ Pro Plus and the Wi-Fi chips is marked as HS2734A V15628 98MA
Any chance of having this Wi-Fi working with your images?
Thanks in advance
I have an old script in my GitHub (please search with my nick). You can add as a cron job and use, because the script email the IP every time the IP is different than the previous one. I start the loop with an IP never used on my network, in this way I always have the fist ip assignment and in every change the new one.
With nmtui you can config completely eth and wlan connections. With nmtui-connetc only wlan.
Hey @balbes150 is a bug in the image writer I use Etcher.io I think the software destroy my microSD cards: https://github.com/resin-io/etcher/issues/1955
This way of configuration works, but is not the better one. You can set static IP using nmtui.
You can try installing Dataplicity (from dataplicity.com) to access remotely and after this read the IP.
Or search some script or Python script to send you by email the IP after the boot and connect.
As @tkaiser said you don't need to change `interfaces` manually because you ends with a mess . https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/18991-New-approach-for-Raspberry-Pi-OMV-images/?postID=155307#post155307
I'm not and expert but you only have dns on eth0 config.
Please use nmtui to config your network, here you can find the guide for the Wi-Fi https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-connect-to-wireless
