Sorry for the late reply to your request. I still have the image; let me know where to upload it if you're still interested.

I use the Station M2 image with dtb joined. Adapt fdtfile entry in /boot/armbianEnv.txt as needed. rk3566-box-demo_x96x6_24-custom.dtb

For bluetooth it's just a matter of

Of course ! I ignored there was a like button : it's almost invisible on my screen 🫢

I'm lucky and you are great ! ethernet works two way now (936 Mbits/sec) 🙂 what was the trick ? Now I'll look what is needed for bluetooth and the led display... Many thanks @maka

Thanks for your advice but there is no difference: the box receives packets but don't emit. The logs are identical as those of box-demo and if we boot with box-demo then reboot (without power off) with box-demo_x96_x6 modified, ethernet continues to work ! It seems box-demo does something, which survives reboot, which is missing in box-demo_x96_x6. Any idea to find that ?

I bought this box because it has an external antenna (good wifi performance), a fast ethernet port and 3 USB ports for a SSD, a SDR and a monitoring system (without external hub 😉)... Ethernet works on your X96 X6 box ?

ok but why does it work with rk3566-box-demo and not with rk3566-box-demo_x96_x6 ? 🤔

HI, TX and RX delays are the same between rk3566-box-demo which works and rk3566-box-demo_x96_x6 which don't. I tried with Android values, slightly different (2b/4b vs 2d/4f), without success. I tried rk3566-box-demo_x96_ip1001m.dtb with same results : the box receive packets but hers are not received/emitted. Here are the differences of dwmac logs between rk3566-box-demo_x96_x6 and rk3566-box-demo_x96_ip1001m : mii-tool box-demo : mii-tool box-demo-x96-x6 : Only the registers are different. Interestingly if one connect the box (with box-demo-x96-x6 dtb) on a 100baseT interface, the behavior is the same (one way communication) while the delays are much less important. What could be missing in the box-demo-x96-x6 dtb to prevent output communication? a power supply ?

I retrieved the DTB rk3566-box-demo_x96_x6.dtb in the thread dedicated to the H96 Max and... all the USB ports are ok 🙂 But on the other hand the ethernet port does not work anymore : it is up and the negotiation is done well (1000baseT) but, if what the router emits is well received by the box, the latter does not see what it emits. Strange: if we start with the dtb rk3566-box-demo.dtb and we restart with rk3566-box-demo_x96_x6.dtb (without power cut) ethernet continues to work! It is as if an initialization was missing, present in rk3566-box-demo.dtb, absent in rk3566-box-demo_x96_x6.dtb. I'm trying to find the differences between rk3566-box-demo and rk3566-box-demo_x96_x6 but there are hundreds of them and it's hard to identify the real semantic differences 😞 Any help appreciated... Kernel log :

Hi, I have no pics of the pcb but it seems @maka has done a dtb for this box, but I don't see such a dtb in /boot/dtb/rockchip 🤔

At least with USB ?

I have extracted the Android dtb but, of course, it doesn't work as is. Has somebody had full success with this box ?

I try to run a Armbian server on this nice RK3566 box. I use the Station M2 image Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.167_Station-m2_bookworm_current_6.6.52_minimal.img.xz with the rk3566-box-demo.dtb dtb and this boots 🙂 But there is only one of the three USB ports working (the middle one). Is this the best image to use ? Is there a dtb more accurate to this box ? Thanks for any help
