How I can install armbian on Xiaomi Mi tv stick 4k with SoC Amlogic S905Y4 & GPU Arm Mali-G31 MP2? Specifications Output Resolution - 4k CPU - Quad-core Cortex-A35 GPU - Mali-G31 MP2 RAM - 2GB Storage - 8GB Operating System - Android TV™ 11 Wireless connectivity - Wi-Fi 2.4GHz/5GHz, Bluetooth 5.2

@Sergioclr Well that is the u-boot root directory. Where the main Makefile is located. I added my own root_key.pem in the patch. You don't have to generate one. The root_key.pem for Allwinner H616/618/313 devices is not a single, universal file, but rather an RSA private key file used for signing bootloader images (TOC0) in secure boot implementations. In many commercial H616-based TV boxes, Secure Boot is enabled by the manufacturer, but the efuses (which store the root key hash) are not permanently locked, allowing the use of custom keys openssl genrsa -out root_key.pem

Debug (Phoenixsuit) original software loaded (emmc) Photo from TV Box recovery menu: Thanks in advance.

First of all thanks to the people maintaining armbian for helios64. I recently upgraded (well I reinstalled) to trixie and everything mostly runs stable for me. However I have a problem with the 2.5GB adapter. It is connected to a 2.5GB switch and when for example running iperf3 I get proper results close to 2.5 GBit. So in general it seems to be running ok. I have a DLNA server (minidlna) running on that machine and when I stream from my TV (streaming via VLC from my laptop triggers the same problems) the network connection drops for a moment and works again after a few seconds (which you can guess is super annoying when watching something). I am not sure what exactly is triggering this. most of the time the network is super stable but during streaming I get hickups. This is what my kernel log spits out when this is happending: ``` Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event TRB for slot 4 ep 3 with no TDs queued Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event TRB for slot 4 ep 3 with no TDs queued Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event TRB for slot 4 ep 3 with no TDs queued Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event TRB for slot 4 ep 3 with no TDs queued Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f10 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f20 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f30 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f40 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f50 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f60 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f70 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f80 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f90 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8fa0 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:59 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: NETDEV WATCHDOG: CPU: 0: transmit queue 0 timed out 5152 ms Apr 09 17:45:59 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx timeout Apr 09 17:46:00 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx status -2 Apr 09 17:46:00 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx status -2 Apr 09 17:46:00 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx status -2 Apr 09 17:46:00 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx status -2 Apr 09 17:46:02 hermann-walter kernel: r8152-cfgselector 2-1.4: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd ``` the usb related messages are not always there but the r8152 related messages are always there. I found a similar problem here: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/22130 I tried replacing the firmware but that didn't help and I later found out that the helios64 uses a different firmware so that explains why it didn't help: ``` Apr 10 05:48:30 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0: Loaded FW: rtl_nic/rtl8156a-2.fw, sha256: 7b50f4a307bde7b3f384935537c4d9705457fa42613eb0003ffbc4e19461a1e0 Apr 10 05:48:30 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0: Loaded FW: rtl_nic/rtl8156a-2.fw, sha256: 7b50f4a307bde7b3f384935537c4d9705457fa42613eb0003ffbc4e19461a1e0 ``` does anybody know what is going on? I am quite sure that the problem wasn't there before the upgrade (but I might be mistaken because I only started observing the helios64 again after the upgrade. also it seems to be related to the amount of network traffic going on. i.e. lower bitrate streams seem to not trigger the problem). Streaming via the 1GBit NIC is working fine.

Hey everyone, I’ve cross-flashed a MXQ 4K 5G (Allwinner sun8iw7p1 / H3) firmware onto a different H3-based TV box. Everything works surprisingly well, except for the IR Power-On/Wakeup. Since the hardware is different, my box's IR receiver is sending a scancode that the MXQ firmware doesn't recognize as the "Wakeup" key. Because this is an Allwinner (sunxi) build and not Rockchip, I know I can't just edit a remote.conf file in the system partition to fix the cold-boot power button. My questions: Where exactly is the Hardcoded IR Wakeup/Power-on scancode stored in these Phoenix-style Allwinner images? Is it buried in the Device Tree Blob (DTB) under a specific IR controller node, or is it hardcoded in the U-Boot/SPL? If I unpack the boot.img or kernel, what hex patterns should I search for to find the Power-key scancode table? If anyone has experience patching the primary boot scancode for sun8i chips, I’d love some guidance on which partition/file to hex-edit. Thanks!

@savznkvo if you followed my compile.sh steps from above, you should have a file Armbian-unofficial_26.05.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_trixie_current_6.18.21_minimal.img in ./output/images ready to be flashed to your SD card. Insert and boot. At this point you need TV / Kbd or UART to finish the wizard (set root PW etc). Now start armbian-install (see screen shot). Transfer *.img to /dev/nvme0n1, use netcat or similar. Then power down, remove SD and eMMC (if plugged). Restart from NVME, now you have to complete first time wizard again. Tested with current main and it works flawlessly. Addon: if you apt-get dist-upgrade, a newer kernel package from Armbian nightly builds is installed and the bcmdhd wifi kernel driver module is recompiled - which needs some time. This will DOWNGRADE from 6.18.21 to 6.18.20 currently - this works as designed. HTH // Sven-Ola

@savznkvo Installing headless (blind / via network) on a board this new will fail probably. Get a TV and connect an HDMI display or get a serial adapter and connect that for debug. I'll check later with a spare NVME, but I am pretty sure it works (provided, that you compiled the correct firmware). HTH // Sven-Ola

Hey everyone! I have a TV Box labeled “In Xplus”, running on an Allwinner H313 (most likely a generic/rebranded device). I was able to install Linux on it using Armbian 26.2.0-trunk (Trixie). The system boots normally, but I’m facing network issues: - Wi-Fi is not working (no interface detected) - Ethernet is also not working (only interface is lo) So basically, the system runs fine, but I have no network connectivity at all. My questions: - Is this a current limitation of Armbian support for the H313? - Is there any specific DTB or patch that could fix Wi-Fi/Ethernet? - Is there a more stable Armbian version or another distro with better support? - Has anyone managed to get networking working on this chip? Any help or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

3D Graphics Acceleration on T95N (A98X Jackbox) - RK3229 with 2GB RAM / 16GB eMMC - Educational Project for Schools Hi, I’m working on a project using a specific TV Box model (A98X Jackbox) to repurpose these boxes as low-cost computers for schools. The goal is to provide students with a platform to use AI tools and basic productivity, but I need better browser rendering. Hardware Specs (Confirmed via board teardown and logs): Board ID: T95N-RK3229_512X4_V1.5 CPU: Rockchip RK3229 RAM: 2GB (Confirmed via free -m) Storage: 16GB eMMC (SanDisk SDIN9DS2-16G) OS: Armbian 21.08.8 Bullseye (Legacy Kernel 4.4.194-rk322x) What I have done so far: Installed the Minimal image and set up LXDE with LightDM. Optimized the system (Governor set to performance, swappiness set to 10). Ran glxinfo -B which confirms it's currently using llvmpipe (Accelerated: no). Tried searching for Mali drivers via apt, but armbian-config is not available in the repositories for this specific build/architecture. Verified Wi-Fi functionality (working fine with LED config 2 via rk322x-config). The system is stable and surprisingly fast thanks to the 2GB RAM, but the CPU is struggling with 100% spikes during browser rendering (Epiphany WebKit) because it lacks GPU acceleration. Question: Is there a way to enable Mali-400 MP2 drivers for X11 on this Legacy 4.4 kernel? Are there any specific packages, blobs, or workarounds to get hardware acceleration working and replace llvmpipe? I’m available to run any tests or provide further logs if needed. Thanks for this amazing project!

Hello, I'm new to embedded linux installation, so please bear with me. So I purchased an android tv box labeled h96max S905L3 from TEMU. Specifications (if the label is trustworthy): RAM: 2GB, ROM:16GB, running android 14.0. On the pcb it says: s905_zx02_v01. It features an ethernet port, 2 USB, HDMI, AV port (looks like a headphone jack) and no hidden reset button or sd card slot. I was trying to install any kind of linux to it using a bootable usb, I just need a simple shell capable of running an http server. I have tried using the remote control to trigger boot to linux, but nothing works. I have then opened the thing, and connected uart to a RP2040 and wrote a simple script as a uart bridge. I now have access to u-boot shell, interupted setup. So far I used chatgpt to guide me, but couldn't get it to boot properly. It told me how to boot manually the image from the usb, but it failed every time. It told me to set these env vars, and over time it showed me different addresses. It said the issues were related to overlapping of the addresses, or using address range that was reserved. It also said the dtb which I used, the meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb won't work, since the device always threw an error bad_magic, even though I checked fdt header, and the magic was correct. setenv kernel_addr_r 0x20000000 setenv ramdisk_addr_r 0x24000000 setenv fdt_addr_r 0x21000000 I would then load the files fatload usb 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} linux-android.img fatload usb 0:1 ${ramdisk_addr_r} uInitrd fatload usb 0:1 ${fdt_addr_r} vendor-expanded.dtb Notice: I used different images, firstly the Image file, and the meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb. After failed boots, chatgpt told me to expand, i.e. add padding to the dtb (first with the meson...dtb, and after that with the vendor.dtb). It didn't work, so it told me to generate an android like image using mkbootimg \ --kernel Image \ --dtb vendor-expanded.dtb \ --cmdline "console=ttyAML0,115200 console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootwait rootdelay=10 rw" \ --base 0x0 \ --pagesize 2048 \ --kernel_offset 0x1080000 \ --dtb_offset 0x1000000 \ -o linux-android.img and boot using the extracted vendor.dtb (pulled from android) and using bootm ${kernel_addr_r} instead of booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r} The bootargs I used are setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sda1 rootfstype=ext4 rw rootwait console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0" Please, any help would be appreciated as I already spent over 6 hours with this little cheap bastard that wouldn't boot anything but that chinese android. I will post output of anything, just let me know if something is needed. I'm sorry for the messiness of this post, but I tried a lot of things that chatgpt told me, explained the errors, and supplied commands for the u-boot shell.

And the email system for is emailing with me erroneos info about bedno report 2x a day, so call off the quard dogs, it been solved without any help from this forum. you've been yelling about dhcp w/out once offering me a single clue as to how I should configure it even when I showed you the results. FYI I have been doing odd things with little machines for a lot longer that most of you have been breathing on your own starting with an rca 1802 in 1978. Do any of you have a track record that long? That bit of production tooling for a medium market tv station was still in use 20+ times a day when the station burned to the ground in the late 90's. I prefer to call it efficiency since most production equipment at a tv station is so heavily used & long since worn out before the IRS lets them amortize the cost. I am also a CET, a test 95% of the EE's out there cannot pass. I call a backup server that draws 19 watts at full song in the middle of backing up 8 machines here, efficient. Took me a while to figure it out the hardware and around $1500 in hardware. But it works as fast as my cat6 wired local net can run.

Hi, welcome everyone. I’m using an H50 TV box that I was about to throw away because I thought I had completely bricked it. I disassembled it and found the pins to activate maskrom mode. I think this could be useful for everyone. I then installed the current image, and everything seems to work except for the HDMI output (blank screen). Do you have any suggestions? Thanks. Some data and photo below. In case you want to install please note that also multitool fails to activate the HDMI, so you will need SSH to config.

I have an H50-labeled tv box with a different board (T98-3318-V2.3) but with exactly the same problem - no HDMI even though all the software debug traces show that everything video-related gets called and works. I first tried to make it work 5 years ago and failed and a few months ago I revisited it just to see if I can make it work now in the age of AI. I made a really deep dive into reverse engineering it. I rooted the original Android firmware and dumped anything I could, extracted and analyzed with Ghidra the vendor u-boot and kernel (wasn't particularly helpful) and finally managed to execute the u-boot binary in Renode by emulating a lot of hardware stuff with code or by simply replacing functions with successful returns all the way to the point of u-boot displaying the splash screen and with various hooks and warnings about peripheral accesses I collected a comprehensive trace of everything that u-boot was doing, and in that trace, the AI noticed a certain GPIO access and suggested replacing this vcc-host-vbus { compatible = "regulator-fixed"; enable-active-high; gpio = <0x74 0x00 0x00>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <0x76>; regulator-name = "vcc_host_vbus"; regulator-always-on; regulator-min-microvolt = <0x4c4b40>; regulator-max-microvolt = <0x4c4b40>; vin-supply = <0x77>; phandle = <0x100>; }; with this vcc-display-en { compatible = "regulator-fixed"; gpio = <0x74 0x00 0x01>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <0x76>; regulator-name = "vcc_display_en"; regulator-always-on; regulator-boot-on; regulator-min-microvolt = <0x4c4b40>; regulator-max-microvolt = <0x4c4b40>; vin-supply = <0x77>; phandle = <0x100>; }; in the standard rk3318-box.dts which made HDMI work.

The wifi and ethernet both are not working for my transpeed 8k tv device. it has a rk3528 chipset. 1. I tried resetting it from its android factory setting. it did not work. 2. I found its image which i flashed via RKdevtool. Still the both wifi and lan did not work. 3. i tried external usb wifi dongle but it did not detect it. 4. I tried to install debian OS i found somewhere on internet designed for rk3528 on it as alternative but rkdevtool did not identified the image Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance,

Hello SliTaz community, I would like to know how I could install SliTaz on an Android TV box powered by a Rockchip RK3229 processor. I understand that the standard SliTaz ISO is for x86 architecture, but my device uses ARM. Is there any ARM-compatible version of SliTaz that could run on this hardware? Or is there a way to build a custom ARM rootfs with the SliTaz ARM toolchain and use it with a compatible kernel and bootloader? Any help, guidance, or example would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I have an RK3318 TV box (A95X R2_V20). The front panel controller is TM1628. I’m running Armbian 23.11.1 with kernel 6.19.0‑edge‑rockchip64. Problem: tm16xx is not enabled in this kernel (CONFIG_TM16XX_* not set), and there is no rk3318x-config in this image. I tried to locate tm16xx sources in current Armbian kernel trees and mainline, but the driver is missing, so I can’t build it from the local headers. I have active Docker projects (avito-bot) on this box and don’t want to reinstall the system, and previous two reinstalls ended with apt issues, so I’d prefer to avoid a fresh image. Question: Is there a known external tm16xx driver repo (or patch) that can be built as an out‑of‑tree module for RK3318? If yes, could you point me to the source and any required device‑tree overlay/pin mapping for TM1628? I already posted board photos and dtb above (my post is still unanswered), so please refer to that if needed. Thanks!

Hello. I have a problem that's been driving me crazy, and I think I'm not the only one. I'm using Armbian version v25.05.0 for Aml.S905x running Armbian Linux 6.12.19-ophub Debian stable (bookworm), and I managed to install RealVNC Connect, for which I have a license. The problem I'm having, and I can't find a solution, is that by default the GDM3 desktop launcher uses Wayland, and when I connect externally to the server, I only get a black screen with a message saying "the desktop cannot be displayed at this time." I'm using GNOME, and I've tried different desktop environments, but they never work, even after selecting them from the gear icon. It just acts like it's going to launch and then returns to the user's home page. It doesn't matter if I use Xorg; no desktop environment ever loads. Only GNOME and GNOME Classic work. If I modify the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf file by deselecting Waylan, I get a black screen and can't even log in. It's a vicious cycle that prevents me from using this server that I like. I've also tried installing other screen launchers like LightDM, but they don't work on my system; the startup process either freezes or I get a black screen. I'm quite desperate. The device where Armbian is installed is an Amlogic TV Box, which is otherwise working perfectly, but this server issue is really frustrating me. Could anyone offer a solution so I can use this server that was working before? Thank you very much.

Hello, I have an Android M98-Y6 HDMI stick that reportedly has an Allwiner H313 processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. When I opened the case, I identified the emcp memory module KMQNW000SM-B316. I don't have access to console mode. I can only access adb commands as root.The RAM type DDR3 seems LPDDR3 ( version ??) I've tried different Armbian images without success. Unfortunately, Secure Boot is enabled. I read this post and test Armbian-20240716-unofficial_24.5.0-trunk_Transpeed-8k618-t_bookworm_edge_6.7.12_xfce_desktop_Secure_Boot.img.tar.xz from Nick, without success I have an Android image named M96-Y6.img. EDIT1: Also it has a AP6330 Wifi Chip ( thanks to "dmesg") It has a internal AC300 PHY ( thanks to "Device info HW") Attached is the "dts" file devicetree.dts device_tree_dump.txt

Tried multiple display_type values and STB pins (bank2 offsets 18–22 + other banks) — still no output. Question: Does anyone know the correct GPIO pins (CLK/DAT/STB) for rk3318-box VFD, or a working driver/service for FD628/FD650 on this board? Any confirmed configs for RK3318 boxes would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been working on this for ~2 weeks and tried multiple configs/drivers without success. Thanks!

Hello all. I have an Android-based Yundoo Y8 TV box, which I want to use for UPS management. I want it to be able to run Armbian to install the UPS management software, but I cannot figure out which Armbian I should download. The board is based on Rockchip RK3399. In cpu-z app I see the board identified as rk30sdk, and the hardware is rk30board. Can you please help me identify the board so I can understand which version of Armbian I need? I couldn't find anything in the forum about RK3399... I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hey there, Title: Need compatible firmware / loader for XR8223518K-V1.0 (RK3518) TV box Message: Hi, I’m trying to recover a TV box with this exact mainboard: Board code: XR8223518K-V1.0 SoC: Rockchip RK3518 Symptoms: device only shows blue LED no HDMI output device can still enter MASKROM / Rockusb mode What I already tested: RKDevTool detects “Found One MASKROM Device” using my current MiniLoaderAll.bin + ExportImage.img fails with: “Download boot fail. Please check DDR.” So I believe I need: the exact stock firmware for this board or a compatible RK3518 MiniLoaderAll.bin / loader for this exact board / DDR configuration If anyone has firmware, loader, dump, or files for XR8223518K-V1.0, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
