    Single Armbian image for RK + AML + AW (aarch64 ARMv8)

    in General Chat

    Posted

    Hi everyone I got the box pretty much setup nicely now, using the wifi fix above it fixes the wifi (though I had to set the wlan0 MTU to 1200 or ssh would freeze up not a big deal), is it possible to get bluetooth working too,? or not possible, I noticed if I used the g200 dtb the Bluetooth icon wouldn't show but if I use the beelink gt1 dtb I get the bt icon but when I click on it it disappears and doesn't work..... I rarely use BT so not a bug deal..

     

    Also I was wondering about video acceleration for the s912 I keep going through threads but can't find useful info, the Test.mp4 video plays fine but it seems to be using cpu rather then the GPU, I tried some 1080p h264 videos but they are pretty laggy using mpv, vlc, smplayer, .

     

    Thanks.

     

    I am currently using Armbian_20.09_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0-rc6_desktop.img.xz , beelink-gt1 dtb , s912

    @odin - maybe the hdmi part is not yet working well enough on s912 - i'll build a non hdmi version for you during the next days ... serial log looks good, from that point on the serial console is disabled, so nothing more to see ...

     

    thanks, it will be interesting if we can get this to boot :)

     

    Edit: I tried the vim2 uboot + the VIM2_Ubuntu-gnome-focal_Linux-5.7-rc7_arm64_SD-USB_V0.9-20200530.7z and the system did boot, besides for being somewhat slow, I have a wierd ghosting effect for the mouse cursor and somehow need to get wifi working, I would rather run armbian though..... but at least I got something booted 

     

    Edit2:

    Ok somehow ( i dont know how), armbian started booting using the vim2 uboot , however I cannot get hdmi audio working and also the in-built wifi is not working (I think it has a QCA9377 / 8223A) (I could get a wifi dongle to work but I would rather use its internal wifi )

     

    I used the VIM2 uboot and this image Armbian_20.09_Arm-64_bullseye_current_5.9.0-rc6_desktop.img

     

    anyideas would be great.

    as i'm currently working on mainline u-boot for amlogic tv boxes you might give this one a try: https://github.com/hexdump0815/u-boot-misc/releases/download/200926-01/boot-amlogic_gxm-aarch64-nexbox-a1.dd.gz (please gunzip it first) - you can write it with dd if=boot-amlogic_gxm-aarch64-nexbox-a1.dd of=/dev/your-sd-card bs=512 seek=1 skip=1 status=progress ... it is a bit special as it is using hdmi output and usb kbd input and disables the serial console (as otherwise it migth give noise on the cmdline) ... and it is untested (i have tested a similar u-boot in an a bit different context), but just give it a try and let me know if it works ... building an s912 mainline u-boot for a tv box is not trivial and might require a dump of the original u-boot of the target box - here are my loose notes for creating it: https://github.com/hexdump0815/u-boot-misc/blob/gxm-experiments/readme.gxl

     

    best wishes - hexdump

     

    thanks I tried it but no hdmi output, here is what the serial console log shows.

    ok I hooked a serial console up and this is just what it shows (standard startup)

    1. Normal Boot (no hdmi signal, no logo, just blue light)

    2. Armbian_20.09_Arm-64_bullseye_current_5.8.10_desktop.img (stock no uboot written to mbr)

    (same as above)

     

     

    3.

    If I boot using the aml_sdc_burn.UBOOT I can get to a serial console where I can type help and it has a bunch of commands,

     

     

    4. VIM U-Boot (2018)

    if I use the uboot from here https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/VIM2/U-boot/

    I get this

    H96 Pro (S912) EMMC died can I boot from sdcard?

    in General Chat

    Posted

    Before I throw this device away I want to make sure I tried everything,

     

    The emmc / storage is completely shot, I tried the USB_Burning_Tool to restore the firmware but quickly fails at formating step, I tried the sdcard Burn_Card_Maker which did succed in booting, but quickly fails when showing the Upgrading screen.

    with nothing plugged in it doesn't show the amlogic logo or any hdmi signal, holding the reset button doesnt do anything either.

     

    so my question is can I boot anything with the aml_sdc_burn.UBOOT, I flashed the armbian image and added the aml_sdc_burn.UBOOT to the boot header of the sdcard, but all I get it a black screen (but I do get a hdmi signal), perhaps I am doing something wrong or am just attempting the impossible?

     

    Thanks.

    @balbes150

    sorry to bother you again, I tried all methods, the internal memory emmc chip is dead/fried, as far as I can tell the rest of the hardware still works, and it boots up in service mode like you said, but I was only able to get sdcard twrp img and the upgrade sdcard to boot (using Burn_Card_Maker), so is it possible to boot armbian from service mode similar to how the others work?, the internal emmc seems to be completely fried., the usb ports don't activate unless booting from the upgrade or twrp img, so it might have to boot through the tf-slot , then to the usb port if possible

     

    if you could provide me detailed info on how to do it I would really appreciate it (either linux or windows). thanks

    To do this, you need a working u-boot for this model.

     

    There are only two launch options for AML. 1. using the standard u-boot from eMMC, which added universal multi-boot. 2. completely remove the u-boot in eMMC and try to use an external u-boot from the SD card.

     

    Thanks, though I am completely lost, I can boot external twrp from a sdcard in the tf-slot (well freezes but trys to boot) and the upgrade program, does armbian only boot from usb slots or can it boot from the tf card reader slot too? since that's what I am trying to do, I don't know how to erase the emmc, I tried bot windows and linux burn tools and completely fails writing partitions.

    I am hoping you can help me out with this, I have a H96 Pro 2/16 (cz-s32-v2.2) s912 , and I think the EMMC died , I tried USB_Burning_tool to restore the stock image and it failed at formating , when I plug it into the tv I get no amlogic logo and no hdmi signal, however if I boot using the sdcard upgrade method (upgrade.img and uboot) (only in the tf reader) it shows the little robot with upgrading, but it quickly fails withing a few seconds....so yeah I think emmc is shot.

     

    But since this can boot off the tfreader slot I was hoping to use armbian, I tried everything I can think of I renamed the uboot-s912 to uboot.ext tried a few dtbs but I don't get any hdmi signal or boot screen holding down the reset pin, can this boot off the tf reader?

    Fix Boot Wifi with some hacks and a Init.d Script

    The Problem : Cant boot with Wifi Kernel Module

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Thanks koakh, works great for my h96 pro+ wifi (qca9377), now it works on bootup.

     

    -

    also if anyone has any ideas on my next problem let me know, I am using Armbian_5.41_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20180307.img (mali6), and overall it works great, is it possible to get hardware accelerated video to work or  videos to play better fullscreen, I tried several software smplayer, vlc, xine (a little better then others),mpv  and all are pretty laggy (unwatchable), window mode they play ok , kodi crashes the display.
