Efforts to develop firmware for H96 MAX M9 RK3576 TV Box 8G/128G
El308 replied to Hqnicolas's topic in Rockchip CPU Boxes
Does somebody have the Firmware for this TV-Box? I went in treble after installing the Nova Launcher, box is now blocked. Need to flash Firmware again -
Thanks. Posted in the TV boxes forum. -
I'd recommend you post in the master thread for the rk3318 TV boxes in this sub forum. -
TV boxes are not supported by Armbian. They are automated builds that are untested. These are 'Community Maintained' which means there is no official maintainer but anyone in the community can submit fixes/changes. The forums are the method of discussing issues.

I have recently found this great project and have converted my old unused and dusty s9xx TV Boxes to ARMBIAN for use as remote NAS and other applications. I have X96 Max Plus 2 T, Beelink GT1, and 2x Beelink MiniMXIII II (total of 4 boxes). For the Beelink MiniMXIII II I used the meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb out of the box and it works great (100Mbit Ethernet and WIFI) For the X96 Max Plus I had to go to https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases and extract and use the meson-sm1-x96-max-plus.dtb file (Gbit Ethernet works but WIFI doesn't) For the Beelink GT1 I again extract and used (from https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases) the meson-sm1-beelink-gt1.dtb and it works great (Gbit Ethernet and WIFI) The problem is that every time I upgrade the armbian base firmware files when there is a new release (apt upgrade) it overwrites the /boot/dtb/amlogic folder and deletes the old files including the above X96 and GT1 dtb files which breaks my boxes. How can this be avoided? Can these dtb files be included in the official release? Does anyone have a working dtb files for the X96 Max Plus (Ethernet RTL8211F and WIFI AM7256)?

Note that Armbian doesn't support TV boxes. That.means all Armbian does is provide automated builds with no testing which are created weekly. These boxes are 'Community Maintained' which means support is up to members of the community i.e users like you.

Will not start booting when HDMI is attached to certain powered-off TVs
TheSHAD0W replied to TheSHAD0W's topic in Orange Pi 5
Okay, found another klew to this issue... Apparently the pi is outputting video at a default 4K spec, and most of the TVs I'm using aren't accepting it, but one is.... Multiple lines of: Then: I would have played with the shell, but the machine is way up on a wall, and I had to transcribe the above from a photo of the screen. ^^; Edit: And yes, I triple-checked the issue only pops up when the attached TV is turned off. -
How to install armbian to Amlogic S805 android box
embedder_dev replied to remolaan's topic in Amlogic CPU Boxes
@codiflow I successfully booted my S805 TV box using an Armbian SD card. Have you tried to install Armbian onto the eMMC? I have broken several of my TV boxes trying to install Armbian onto the eMMC using scripts. The reason was that my TV box's bootloader was located somewhere in the eMMC, which got overwritten by installing Armbian. Can you help me with that? -
Will not start booting when HDMI is attached to certain powered-off TVs
TheSHAD0W replied to TheSHAD0W's topic in Orange Pi 5
https://pastebin.com/2WpTQy3G last 500 lines of syslog. I'll try to get a debug console working but it may be a while... Note that last boot was actually two boot attempts, one with the TV off, and it doesn't look like it sent anything to syslog. -
Armbian 24.5.1. I don't have a serial console setup so I can't tell if it's actually starting to boot or not, but it never gets to the point where a video signal is sent to HDMI. It *does* send a CEC on signal to the TV, which does turn on, and power-cycling the Pi then begins a normal boot process. Pi also boots normally headless. Problem noted on one Insignia model and on a Vizio TV, works as expected on another Insignia model, on a Hisense and on an LG. Issue began after updating the kernel from legacy.

Hello again! First of all Thank you for responding me. I followed your advice, but my TV BOX isn't responding when I press the reset button (located on the AV port). It seems like the RK3228A isn't recognizing any type of USB device, including the Male to Male USB cable. I've tried keyboards and mouses, but none of them are working at all. Apologies for bothering you again!

Hi all! Who has success with establishing tve (analog tv out) on armbian and OPi Zero 3? Maybe someone has a patch?

Description Move tv-box based rk3318-box and rk322x-box target to use u-boot v2024.07-rc5 from v2024.01, mostly for experimentation and also because v2024.07 contains some fixes for rockchip devices explained in this previous PR: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6731, in particular we can leverage uboot relocation for rockchip 64 bit devices and rk3328 hdmi/vop/phy drivers are now mainlined. This PR also rework hdmi/vop/phy patches for rk322x and fixes usb issues on rk3318-box The changes does not affect any other board, since none of them actually use v2024.07 of uboot (at the moment of writing the comment, it is still in RC5). The v2024.07 patch directory has been prepared though and it is ready for others to jump in. GitHub issue reference: Jira reference number AR-2400 How Has This Been Tested? [x] Various tests on rk322x-box system, including boot from sdcard, boot from emmc and checks about the expected boot order (sdcard -> usb -> emmc) [x] Same as above on rk3318-box system Checklist: Please delete options that are not relevant. [x] My code follows the style guidelines of this project [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code [x] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas [x] My changes generate no new warnings View the full article -
@Magd Almuntaser unfortunately this forum does not offer support for armbian forks for various technical issues. what I can tell you is that ipbs9505 dtb is correct if you boot the fork image from micro sd when you do the installation on emmc you will have to use that precise dtb as if you had the Wojia-TV-IPBS9505 (s905L2) tv box. I also bricked the board some time ago trying to install the official armbian on emmc. my problem was trying to overwrite an installation of a fork distro previously done on the emmc rather than starting from an emmc with the factory android image. I am currently using the fork image with this kernel Distribution: Armbian 24.2.1 jammy Kernel version: Linux 5.15.145-ophub aarch64 and I must say that it is stable for my experimental server needs. I have no interest in putting modern kernels because I noticed that using them on micro sd they were not very stable and I chose an older kernel.

Thank you all for all your responses. I finally bought a s905x3, h96 max x3, and all the hours and headaches spent with the s905x have greatly simplified the installation of the new tv box. for my needs, I don't need an sbc, at least for now.

Hello Recently I bought this Odiomix branded tv stick but it's a generic tv stick. I saw it branded in many ways. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006399158895.html https://evaly.com.bd/products/odiomix-s96-4k-ultra-hd-1080p-full-hd-android-tv-box-2488727 It has 2 GB RAM (probably LPDDR3) and 16 GB Toshiba EMMC. Dual band wifi and Bluetooth 4.0 (LB-LINK-BL-M8800DS1 module) https://m.made-in-china.com/product/LB-LINK-BL-M8800DS1-1T1R-802-11a-b-g-n-ac-ax-WIFI6-BT5-0-USB-Module-with-CE-FCC-2074966505.html Is there any possibility of running Armbian?

Model: RK3228A. Hello, I'm having some problems while trying to burn an image onto my TV BOX. During the burning process (around 50% completion), the TV BOX shut down due to a power surge in my neighborhood. Now, when I try to use the Multitool, my keyboard doesn't work anymore. It lights up for a millisecond and then turns off. I have tried the following: Installed drivers during the Linux boot process by adding commands to the boot scripts, but I cannot change them due to permissions on the SD card. Reburned the SD card with the Multitool image, but it still doesn't work (I also tried different SD cards). Booted with an ISO to wipe data from memory and start again, but that didn't work either. Used another keyboard. Reset my TV BOX. Does anyone have any ideas to help me, please?

I have Rock-5C 32GB Ram and these will not work i.e. I get the same Kernel Panic: Armbian_24.5.1_Rock-5c_noble_vendor_6.1.43_xfce_desktop Armbian_24.5.1_Rock-5c_noble_vendor_6.1.43 Armbian_24.5.1_Rock-5c_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal I`m testing other images. 6.8.10 and offial radxa images (rock-5c_debian_bullseye_kde_b2 with kernel 5.10.110) will get tv. But Fan is not working and sometimes crashes when transfering data between M.2 and usb HDD

This is a post to search for the firmware of the Tanix TX3 Mini TX box with S905L2-B soc (yet another fake TV box). I advise you to write a new post, after searching the forum for the information you are asking for. This low-end TV box will not allow you to use it as a replacement for a desktop PC. Internet browsing for example will be very slow.... These TV Boxes can be used as small Linux servers like for example an old Raspberry, with the difficulty that you don't have the same support as the Raspberry community and this means that you won't have updated images that work immediately. You will have to waste time to understand why it doesn't start immediately or how to copy to the Linux emmc and fear bricking the board with the hope of recovering it if its firmware from the specific manufacturer exists. Bye and good luck.

Changes to be committed: modified: config/boards/aml-s9xx-box.tvb modified: packages/bsp/aml-s9xx-box/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.template The aml-s9xx-box builds use the native TV Box u-boot. I've had as a todo item to figure out how to not build and include an unused u-boot. In a recent PR for a different board the opposite was being done (adding a u-boot where a board didn't previously ship one), thus I then had the info to remove it here. This also changes the generated extlinux.conf to include a fdt line by adding the boot_fdt_file to the board config file. This reduces the effort needed to manually modify the extlinux.conf.

@threpwood Since I'm the current maintainer of the Armbian amlogic TV Box builds I may be biased in my response. I will first state the official Armbian position which is that TV Boxes are crap and not supported. (This is often the case and you may find that you purchase something really cheap and it doesn't work with Armbian at all - this can be for any number of reasons, from TV boxes generally have the cheapest components, often two 'identical' boxes will have completely different components, etc). But, to address your original question, between the aml s905x3 and rk3566 I would recommend that you go with s905x3. That CPU is now many years old, which means its support within mainline linux is pretty mature. Whereas the rk3566 is relatively new and the mainline linux support is still being worked on. Also, while armbian has community builds for the older amlogic cpus and the older rockchip cpus (aml-s9xx-box, rk32xx-box, rk3318-box) there is only one community build for the h96-tvbox-3566 which is currently being worked on - other rk3566 boxes will be very hit or miss (but there is active work on getting more supported (search the forums for information). Now having said that, you need to be willing to deal with the limitations of the amlogic tv box builds (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first), which I suspect you are based on the fact that you already appear to be using the armbian amlogic builds for an older box, but I mention here for completeness for others who may stumble across this post. Finally in my basic performance tests the s905x3 show that it is almost twice as fast as the older s905x. But neither is what I would call fast, but for general server type services, they do a fine job. I have an s905x2 box that hosts a few production websites and it is fine for that purpose.

If you don't need GPIOs and you're not a developer: don't buy SBCs as long as their prices are higher than the TV box. For the same price, you can buy a mini PC and it will be better than SBC. I advise you to buy a TV box on SOC s905x3. 1) You will be able to install Linux for your purposes. 2) As well as being able to use an android set-top box, amlogic is better in this regard. P.S. I believe that 90% of users do not need SBC, since they do not use GPIO, camera, ports for connecting the screen and the like. Many users need a cheap headless server. There are high-quality and inexpensive TV boxes for these purposes. In addition, for the price of banana pi m5, you can buy a mini PC that will work faster. SBC is a device for developers. For those who then make TV boxes and tablets. For ordinary users, SBC is unnecessary. The SBC manufacturer needs to pay attention to the user's need, which is: 1. SD card, emmc or M2. 2.LAN 1000/100 3. Wi-fi/BT 4. USB 3.0 5. 2/4/8 GB RAM The rest 90% of users do not need and therefore they will buy either a TV box or a mini PC as it is more profitable for the price

@zetalex Were you able to use 4k120? If so, how did you enable 4k120 in Linux? I am not able to set the display (my TV) to 4k120, only 4k60... My TV's HDMI port is definitely a 4k120 port (verified with my PC and Nvidia GPU). Have you seen this tutorial? I lists all required steps if you want to use hardware acceleration on RK3588 with 6.1 kernel. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/rockchip
