    Hello! I am a novice on this forum. My device is the new (so far) X96 MAX. Now I am preparing to install on it the latest Armbian-ubuntu. My X96 MAX is with S905X2 chip, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, gigabyte ethernet, dual-band wifi adapter. Please help me with some tips for this operation!

    Have you tired the @balbes150 images?

    Try with meson-g12a-u200.dtb, it might boot but it looks pretty basic at the moment.

    I would be interested to know whether they work on the S905X2

    why shouldnt it possible to convert/decompile the .dtb to .dts withbthe command dtc (device tree compiler?)

    Maybe for reconverting you have to install the right version of tge kernel-headers?

    From my experience, I have done dtb->dts, modifed some code & converted back to dtb using dtc without any ill effects or kernel headers. YMMV

    Interesting result!  On my A5X max with max 1296 Mhz, I see 330 MB/s normally in desktop mode, but under VNC I see 410 MB/s . Maybe the difference is due to the rate of frequency rampup from 600 Mhz to 1296 Mhz.  I am using the default MX10 dtb on a 4.4.154 kernel.

    Yes indeed. I don't think it is the rampup because when I cpufreq-set to fix at 1.51Ghz I still get the same result. I am looking for ways to make the desktop as fluid as on the S912 and memory speed is perhaps the answer. The media testing script didn't do it for me.

    Version 5.72 update 20190123 (kernel 4.4 and 5.0).
    On SERVER NEXT images (with kernel 5.0), support for DTB for MX10 has been added, and the system can be managed via SSH.

    Armbian_5.72_Rk3328-tv_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.154_desktop_20190123

    Boots to desktop with rk3328_evb.dtb but max cpu freq only 1.30GHz

    with rk3328_evb.dtb taken from 4.4.167 image and MAX_SPEED=1512000 in /etc/default/cpufrequtils, can reach 1.51Ghz

    Further testing ongoing...

     

    Memory speed testing with

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/testfile bs=1M count=1000

    rk3328: 352 MB/s

    s912: 566 MB/s

    need to find dram speed setting

    Only the reason is not in the core. By the way, with the kernel 4.4.154 by my tests, the system works faster with video. Perhaps because it uses sources from LE (where working with video is better optimized).

    This seems to run much better. Noticed that cpu frequencies 1.39GHz and 1.51Ghz are available,  Although cpufreq-info reports that hardware limits: 408 MHz - 1.51 GHz, still can't hit 1.51GHz though

    Yes, from now on images for S905 and S912 will be released separately. So far, there are almost no differences between them. The only difference is the default DTB. Now in the images S912 specified a dtb to the VIM2 and you can try to run the image to S912. This is preparing to move to HW support. s905 and s912 use different variants of HW LIMA or PANFROST.

    Righto. s912 desktop running well so far on my T95Z Plus. Problem with usb fixed by using powered hdd docking. Great job :-)

    MVR9 -> rk3328-box-trn9.dtb

    MX10 -> rk3328-mx10.dtb

    Just change the comment on the desired line:) by the way, MVR9 works with the file for MX10 (but no LAN Wifi BT). On the contrary-does not work, because MVR9 uses the best iron (similar to Renegade).

    Perhaps the dtb from MVR9 will also work on Renegade

    https://github.com/150balbes/Build-Armbian/blob/master/packages/bsp/rk3328-tv/extlinux.conf

    rk3328-box-trn9.dtb does not boot my box. Let me try the 5.71 image and see whether its any better

     

    UPDATE: 5.71: rk3328-mx10.dtb, rk3328-evb.dtb boots to desktop, rk3328-box-trn9.dtb no

    with armsoc xorg. glxgears 160 FPS, compositor off
    Firefox video streaming some OK some not, with compositor off

    Desktop sluggish

    I have for MVR9, browser and other programs (used in the script) are noticeably better than the MX10 (it's the same A5X max). Perhaps the reason is that another dtb is used, without optimization.

    I use rk3328-evb.dtb thats in the image. Where can I download this optimised dtb that you speak of? :)

  9. Testing on A5X Max 4gb ram

    ARMBIAN 5.67 user-built Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 4.4.154-rk3328-tv

    Installed System, MPV, Gstreamer, GL4ES and Streaming from media-rk3328_1.0.txz

     

    1. General desktop does not feel any smoother, feels quite laggy

    2. Watching streaming video in firefox only good if window compositor off & certain encoding, can't determine which

    3. Chromium streaming crashes page upon playing

    4. glxgears - libGL error: unable to load driver: rockchip_dri.so

    417 frames in 5.0 seconds = 83.309 FPS

    glrun glxgears

    297 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.256 FPS

    5. xorg log: (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri/armsoc_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri/armsoc_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

    Can you tell me what are you using it for?  I plan on getting a 4gb box to run as a docker headless server for home use so I'd like to hear your experience

    Currently using it as a general desktop, running quite well although I find the T95Z Plus runs better, so I am switching.
