Petee Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Wanting to build a new Armbian server from a TV Box. Video is not a requirement here as the device will be headless. Just a quickie picture relating to the size of this box. I am impressed. It will be mounted inside of a security panel (Leviton Omni Pro 2) and serve as a console to said security panel using automation software. Ideally though want: - Gb NIC - 32 Gb eMMC - 4 Gb RAM Bluetooth and WLAN is nice to have but not necessary for my use. Been only tinkering here with Octocore ARM CPU TV boxes but not necessary. I am currently wanting to add a firewall (2nd NIC) and am familiar mostly with BSD PFSense and OpenWRT on a variety of devices. Currently doing this with a hardware modified micro router (NEXX) running OpenWRT. It is so small I can really just leave this device in place. Goal here is to install TV box inside of a combo automation / security media panel. The firewall would face current home LAN and may run a VPN server. Checking out Amazon see: 1 - Android 9.0 TV Box, 2019 H96 Max X2 4GB DDR4 Ram 32GB ROM 4K Smart TV Box Amlogic CPU HDMI 2.1/H265 /Dual WiFi 2.4G 5.0G/100M Ethernet/BT/USB3.0 Set Top Box (no Gb NIC) - S905 chipset 2 - ZYX 4GB 32GB Android TV Box - MX10 Android 8.1 Smart TV-Box Streaming Media Player H.265 64bit Supporting Wireless, 4K (60Hz),3D, RK3328 Quad Core Set-Top-Box - no Gb NIC - RK3328 3 - Android 8.1 TV Box with 4GB RAM 32GB ROM,GiMiBOX T9 Android Boxes Quad- Core 64 Bits Support BT4.1/ H.265/ 3D /5G WiFi/USB 3.0/ UHD 4K Smart TV Box with Remote Keyboard - RK3328 4 - H96 max X2 Android 8.1 TV Box, 4GB RAM 32GB ROM Amlogic Quad core Support WiFi 2.4G+5G/4K/3D Smart TV Box Streaming Media Player - no GB NIC The list goes on and on.

danorul9 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 H96 max X2 I bought this one, it works, but every buggy. Bluetooth, wifi and Ethernet doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
