This is an old and well-known problem for that time. The SOC has a controller (ARISC architecture). The code of that time randomly started the controller at the maximum frequency, for example, when the OS was turned off with the sudo poweroff command. If you did not pull the plug out of the socket, then the processor chip began to warm up more than when the OS was running. You need to update the u-boot and kernel to the current versions.

I just got a X98H. It has the same problem. I was able to extract the Android dts. I found the stock firmware for the box. https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-android-12-stock-firmware-for-x98h-tv-box-2.html Using Apritzel's sunxi firmware extraction tool. https://github.com/apritzel/sunxi-fw nick@nick-Inspiron-5680:~/sunxi-fw$ ./sunxi-fw info -v X98H-20221020-1143.img @ 0: wty: PhoenixSuite image file header v3.0, 45 images, 1898 MB wty:sys_config.fex : 34908 bytes @ +0x0000b800 wty:board.fex : 1024 bytes @ +0x00014400 wty:config.fex : 53248 bytes @ +0x00014800 wty:split_xxxx.fex : 512 bytes @ +0x00021800 wty:sys_partition.fex : 5601 bytes @ +0x00021c00 wty:sunxi.fex : 71168 bytes @ +0x00023400 wty:boot0_nand.fex : 61440 bytes @ +0x00034c00 wty:boot0_sdcard.fex : 61440 bytes @ +0x00043c00 wty:u-boot.fex : 884736 bytes @ +0x00052c00 wty:u-boot-crash.fex : 37 bytes @ +0x0012ac00 wty:toc1.fex : 8 bytes @ +0x0012b000 wty:toc0.fex : 8 bytes @ +0x0012b400 wty:fes1.fex : 40160 bytes @ +0x0012b800 wty:boot_package.fex : 1261568 bytes @ +0x00135800 wty:usbtool.fex : 154112 bytes @ +0x00269800 wty:usbtool_crash.fex : 621056 bytes @ +0x0028f400 wty:aultools.fex : 166515 bytes @ +0x00327000 wty:aultls32.fex : 152069 bytes @ +0x0034fc00 wty:cardtool.fex : 73728 bytes @ +0x00375000 wty:cardscript.fex : 1899 bytes @ +0x00387000 wty:sunxi_gpt.fex : 8192 bytes @ +0x00387800 wty:sunxi_mbr.fex : 65536 bytes @ +0x00389800 wty:dlinfo.fex : 16384 bytes @ +0x00399800 wty:arisc.fex : 6 bytes @ +0x0039d800 wty:vmlinux.fex : 12619923 bytes @ +0x0039dc00 wty:boot-resource.fex : 7490560 bytes @ +0x00fa7000 wty:Vboot-resource.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x016cbc00 wty:env.fex : 131072 bytes @ +0x016cc000 wty:Venv.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x016ec000 wty:boot.fex : 67108864 bytes @ +0x016ec400 wty:Vboot.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x056ec400 wty:vendor_boot.fex : 33554432 bytes @ +0x056ec800 wty:Vvendor_boot.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x076ec800 wty:super.fex : 1847555340 bytes @ +0x076ecc00 wty:Vsuper.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x758e4400 wty:misc.fex : 16777216 bytes @ +0x758e4800 wty:Vmisc.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x768e4800 wty:vbmeta.fex : 8192 bytes @ +0x768e4c00 wty:Vvbmeta.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x768e6c00 wty:vbmeta_system.fex : 4096 bytes @ +0x768e7000 wty:Vvbmeta_system.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x768e8000 wty:vbmeta_vendor.fex : 4096 bytes @ +0x768e8400 wty:Vvbmeta_vendor.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x768e9400 wty:dtbo.fex : 2097152 bytes @ +0x768e9800 wty:Vdtbo.fex : 4 bytes @ +0x76ae9800 @ 542: boot0: Allwinner boot0 size: 61440 bytes eGON checksum matches: 0xbf64ad3a DRAM parameters: A64 H616 DRAM clock : 0x288 0x288 - DRAM type : 0x3 0x3 - ZQ value : 0x3030303 - - ODT enabled : 0xe0e0e0e 0x1 - DX ODT : - 0x3030303 - DX DRI : - 0xe0e0e0e - CA DRI : - 0x1f12 - PARA1 : 0x1f12 0x30fb - PARA2 : 0x1 0 - MR0 : 0x30fb 0x840 - MR1 : 0 0x4 - MR2 : 0x840 0x8 - MR3 : 0x4 0 - TPR0 : 0x8 0xc0001002 - TPR6 : 0 0x33808080 - TRP10 : 0 0x2f1107 - TRP11 : 0 0xddddcccc - TRP12 : 0xc0001002 0xeddc7665 - TRP13 : 0 0x40 - The Dram settings where the same so I didn't have to edit the U-boot patch. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/blob/main/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/configs-Transpeed-8K618-T-Add-Transpeed-8K618-T-board-support.patch +CONFIG_DRAM_SUN50I_H616_DX_ODT=0x03030303 +CONFIG_DRAM_SUN50I_H616_DX_DRI=0x0e0e0e0e +CONFIG_DRAM_SUN50I_H616_CA_DRI=0x1f12 +CONFIG_DRAM_SUN50I_H616_TPR0=0xc0001002 +CONFIG_DRAM_SUN50I_H616_TPR10=0x2f1107 +CONFIG_DRAM_SUN50I_H616_TPR11=0xddddcccc +CONFIG_DRAM_SUN50I_H616_TPR12=0xeddc7665 +CONFIG_MACH_SUN50I_H616=y +CONFIG_SUNXI_DRAM_H616_DDR3_1333=y +CONFIG_DRAM_CLK=648 My 8K618-T image won't work because these values were different. MMC errors means your box won't boot past U-boot and load a kernel. So you won't get hdmi output, no sound, no wifi, no bluetooth. This is why it's important to have uart installed.

(Note: the branch names may of changed "linux-6.7.y" and "v2024.01" for the format-patch command. Use "git branch --show-current" for the new branch name.) You can't just add an Android DTS and hope it works. There's been a lot of changes to the linux kernel since than. You need to port the values to the latest Mainline kernel code. You can find examples here.

I think that the armbian image that I took doesn't even use the crust firmware yet? At least I don't see a firmware upload in the u-boot log messages and also find no reference elsewhere (arisc strings in dmesg, /lib/firmware, etc.). Maybe someone can confirm that. That would explain what I observe. On the other side the crust firmware seems to have support for GPIO based toggling of the 3 regulators. If the crust firmware isn't being used for this board/armbian image, what is the missing piece?
