From above it looks like you are using: meson-g12a-x96-max-no-cvbs.dtb. I would suggest you try meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb which is a 100Mb ethernet version of the meson-g112a-x96-max.dtb file. Good to see that you have made overall progress today on your box.

To be honest, when I read your comment, I was not "hot" to follow your recommendations because I suppose that I make the manual change only 1x and this is fix definitively. But, I have tried to install a French domotic server (Jeedom) but I have some troubles with ethernet connection: Spoiler After this operation, 6,481 kB of additional disk space will be used. Get:1 http://ports.ubuntu.com bionic/main arm64 libapr1 arm64 1.6.3-2 [75.8 kB] Get:2 http://ports.ubuntu.com bionic/main arm64 libaprutil1 arm64 1.6.1-2 [74.7 kB] Get:3 http://ports.ubuntu.com bionic/main arm64 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 arm64 1.6.1-2 [9,836 B] Err:4 http://ports.ubuntu.com bionic/main arm64 libaprutil1-ldap arm64 1.6.1-2 Cannot initiate the connection to ports.ubuntu.com:80 (2001:67c:1360:8001::22). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) Could not connect to ports.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.150), connection timed out [IP: 91.189.88.150 80] Therefore, I will try your suggestion: meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb After booting on SD card: - How can I test deeply the ethernet connection (before to transfer the installtion on the eMMC) ? - When this is OK, Can I make directly the installation on the eMMC over the previous one ?

Actually my original suggestion a few posts ago was to try all of the g12/sm1 dtbs and find the one that works best for your hardware. To test the different DTBs, you will need to use the working sd card you have from earlier. Edit the uEnv.txt file and try rebooting with that sd card using the different dtb. When you find the dtb file that works best for you, you can either reinstall that entire environment to emmc by using the install-aml.sh script (but doing so will overwrite everything you have on emmc), or while running from the sd card, mount the /boot partition on the emmc and edit the uEnv.txt file on the emmc directly. The command you are using to set the network speed (ethtool -s) does not persistently make that change, so you will need to do that after every reboot. I'm sure you could google and find a way to make that change persistent, but if you can get it working without manual changes it would be better for you.

P.P.A. Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 I bought a X96 Air the other day, and installed Armbian on it using meson-sm1-sei610-ethfix.dtb. Ethernet works, and it runs fine (I haven't tested HDMI audio because I'm using it as a headless server), however WiFi/BT does not. From browsing this and other threads, I gathered that these boxes may have different WiFi chips, and to get it working requires identifying the chip used, and then finding the proper drivers for it (forgive my layman's vocabulary here)… and that this involves the dtb files. How do I find out what chip my box uses? Do I need to open it up and simply look for the component? Trial and error by testing a few likely candidates for this particular model?

If your question is must you update, the answer is no. However, I wouldn't understand why you would not want to update. One of the reasons to adopt Armbian is because it should provide you with regular security updates and critical bug fixes, like any regular linux distribution on an x86 platform. Armbian isn't just a static firmware that gets something running on a box/sbc but a more mainstream linux experience with updates. Anyone who runs systems (especially exposed to the public internet) should in my opinion be concerned with security updates and fixes as a priority. Now having said that, the base ubuntu or debian will get you security updates and fixes for the majority of the system, however linux kernel updates will come from Armbian. While support for those kernel updates for Balbes TV box builds has improved significantly over the last few months, there may still be an occasional issue.

P.P.A. Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 I went into armbian-config and changed from nigthly to stable without knowing what I was doing. After rebooting, I got an error, and now my X96 Air won't boot again with that SD card (never installed to eMMC). Is there a way to fix this, or do I have to re-install everything? I didn't make backups (lesson learned), is it possible to restore my settings and everything by just copying all the files from my old SD to my PC, re-flashing the SD card, and then moving certain folders back to it after setting up a new install?

Try following this tutorial: If you want to boot from microSD basically you need to 1) burn desired image on the card (I suggest using Etcher) 2) Edit uEnv.txt for Amlogic and link DTB file (finding correct one requires a bit of try and error, I'm no expert but maybe start with meson-sm1-sei610.dtb) 3) Boot using toothpick method. Good luck!

Are there any way I can make ethernet working because I don't have a keyboard to log in or type in commands. Maybe make a script that does "sudo ethtool –s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on" but I don't know how to do it by adding a file or using a pc Ok, that means for your box, forget the way of the file boot.ext or boot.usb. If you have tried without success the DTB file with ethernet fix (meson-sm1-sei610-ethfix.dtb), then the command "sudo ethtool –s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on" doesn't help you because these value are the same than meson-sm1-sei610-ethfix.dtb. I think you need to know the name of your Ethernet chipset to find the right drivers of it. Without keyboard, you can check directly on the PCB of the box or with a keyboard, you make this command "armbianmonitor -u" and check into the created report (example: http://ix.io/2oEe).

I see PSF-2447 next to the ethernet port then it connects to RTL8211F. How do I find and install the drivers for it? It has the same board as the image in page 3 X88PRO-S905X3-D4-V1.0 Edited June 10, 2020 by Yeoj Henrie needed to add what board it is

PS: There are just some coil in it, doesn't matter for OS. Odroid C2 has the same ethernet. So it should be working in armbian. Edited June 10, 2020 by Teddybee
thaidt Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 I bought X96Air S905X3 but only 2 Gb Ram and Ethernet is 100Mbs speed. Successful installed Armbian bionic with meson-sm1-sei610.dtb and also installed AdGuardHome to it. LAN & Wifi works well. No problem with color & resolution except Bluetooth does not working. There is a small issue that I can not boot from SD card (Message: “Error -84 whilst initialising SD card” while booting). So I have to boot from USB. Can anyone advise me how to boot from SD card? Or do I need to buy a new SD card? (The function of card slot is normal in Android mode) Thank you. 2
