WanJiXianSheng Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Hello, I'm from China. I can't speak English. I can only translate with the help of translation software. I hope you can understand my description. I have worked hard to come to this forum and search for you. I bought tx3 Mini 2G / 16g at 120RMB in China. I started armbian from USB flash drive and used my own meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dtb, but memory usage: only 833mb. Can you provide me. DTB file and corresponding armbian system! Thank you very much.
hexdump Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 [note to the moderators: this should maybe split into its own thread?] @WanJiXianSheng - decompile your dtb with "dtc -I dtb -O dts meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dtb > meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dts" and then edit the dts file: change "reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x40000000>;" in the memory@0 section to "reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x80000000>;" and compile it back into a dtb: "dtc -I dts -O dtb meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dts > meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dtb" good luck - hexdump

balbes150 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Posted May 17, 2020 For all. I don't support s905x3. I don't have this equipment. All messages about this platform will be transferred to another topic. What works or doesn't work from this equipment - I don't know. I do not give any answers or comments on the s905x3 chip.
Beppe Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Hello everyone! I have an old MiniMX (1GB Ram /8GB Rom) on which I started the latest @balbes150Armbian from SD. Basically it perfectly recognizes all the hardware (Even the wifi) but strangely not the ethernet. The dtb used is meson-gxbb-p200.dtb Anyone have any advice? Many thanks to all! Beppe.

Try /amlogic/meson-gxbb-p201.dtb and then every other /amlogic/ .dtb file. Failing that, use usb ethernet or try an older armbain image. Bugs creep into the kernel and dts file so things start and stop working. Also https://forum.armbian.com/topic/7930-armbian-for-amlogic-s9xxx-kernel-5x/?do=findComment&comment=71063 might be some help.

balbes150 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Posted May 18, 2020 I tried to build Armbian images directly on the ARM device (rk3399). Surprisingly, after some refinement of the build system, i'm managed to get the first test images of the universal system RK+AW+AML. At this stage, there is no u-boot in the images. Therefore, you can run on rk3399 either from USB media, or, when writing to an SD card, you need to additionally write u-boot, as provided in the instructions in the first message of the theme for all other platforms. Otherwise, the handling of these images is the same as before (setting up DTB via uEnv.txt, etc). Please check these images on different hardware to determine their whether they can be used as images build in the traditional way. https://yadi.sk/d/6ZY-ld9fyUgHxg 1
Tommy21 Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Does anyone else have issues when booting from usb flash drive, everything is ok when booting from sd, but when trying with usb, it boots as server and with some dependencies failed, and when it boots i get no desktop? Device is kvim1, image is ubuntu focal desktop, kernel 5.7 rc4.Is there anything special that needs to be done when using usb, maybe i missed something?
balbes150 Posted May 19, 2020 Author Posted May 19, 2020 Version 20200519. This version is fully built not mediocre on the ARM platform (rk3399). I checked how the images work on different models, and no problems were found. The system works identically to the version built using the old scheme via cross-compilation on x86. While these images do not have u-boot and to run from the SD card on RK3399 add u-boot, as described at the beginning of the topic. Now anyone can build their own version of ArmbianTV not mediocre on their device. 5

ggerla Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 I installed Armbian_20.05.4_Arm-64_focal_current_5.7.0-rc6_desktop_20200518.img.xz on my s905x box. I used meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb I experienced 2 issues: 1. no audio on HDMI 2. on shutdown the box always reboot.
balbes150 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Posted May 21, 2020 The good news is that the issue with building u-boot for universal arm-64 images in the Assembly system directly on ARM has been resolved. As a side result, it allows you to build your own version of the core or a ready-made image directly on the TV box with minimal costs (using the Armbian build system). Thus, the first stage of transferring the build of all ArmbianTV images to the ARM platform is completed. Test images 20200521 with u-boot for rk3399 added to the images on the site (as it was previously in all universal images). 2
gilberto Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 I tried all the dtbs but the wifi does not work the device does not appear with the command ifconfig the hardware configuration is just below. Thank you all for your help! Right now I'm downloading the last img 5/20 to try. http://ix.io/2mVR I used to find the wifi driver by the command lspci -v -d X86. In the arm architecture as I think the correct wifi driver. Dmesg command didn't show me nothing about my wifi. Some idea......
Guest Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Balbes, please consider shrinking the rootfs partition in your images, since it will be automatically expanded on first boot anyway. Reducing that partition to 1GB would be great. Currently the images take up around 5GB each when decompressed, imo it's a bit waste of space when there's only less than 1GB of actual data in them. This wasn't so much of a problem back when BalenaEtcher had the ability to stream images from archives, so I could simply not decompress them and use them as-is. However, they recently removed this feature and started decompressing the images to disk everytime you write the image, so I had to decompress the images to prevent them from being written to my SSD over and over again.
Lexx Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Hello. If I can get the fdt file from the android of the magicsee n6max tv set-top box, will this help in creating the correct dtb file? How to do it? Or who should I give him to do this?

Read the topic, I already answered the question why the image size is fixed. There will be no changes.

Quote Pay attention. The new version changed the size of the partitions that are obtained when writing an image (all images have a fixed size of 5GB). This u-boot entry option only applies to the new version 20200218 and subsequent versions. Don't try this for old images. This will not work on older images. You stated the image size is fixed but I'm failing to understand why, could you please elaborate a little bit?

Because u-boot writing is performed in a single pass on any system. All data in u-boot strictly corresponds to a fixed partition size.

Guys I'm from Brazil, I want to participate in the S905 project because I have several models of these s905w, s905h, etc ... cards, I don't know if I pass the information correctly. At the moment I want to collaborate and at the same time help I don't know how to find my wifi, a good soul could help me, please ....
