Daniel Cagarrinho Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Hello everyone, I bought a tanix tx3 s905x3, and I would like to install armbian to use the home assistant, but I don't know how ... Is it possible for someone to help me step by step? I never did anything like that ... thanks in advance
Alexx Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Hello Daniel, go and download image from https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/arm-64/ . I had Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.9.0.img.xz and yesterday crashed my ssd and now i am trying Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_bullseye_current_5.9.0_desktop.img.xz . Both work ok. If you want you can try and the other images. Then follow the instructions from the link below (from 2step) https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12988-armbian-for-amlogic-s905x3/?do=findComment&comment=109829 For .dtb i am using the meson-sm1-sei610-ethfix.dtb from this post https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12988-armbian-for-amlogic-s905x3/?do=findComment&comment=108204 and it is ok. Good luck
Daniel Cagarrinho Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Thanks a lot for the help! the only problem I had was that it doesn't boot from the SD card, only via usb. now everything is working with home assistant. the only problem i have now is that i can only access the home assistant by ip and i can't through the url http://homeassistant.local:8123 or any internal url
Daniel Cagarrinho Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Anyone can put the vfd working normally?? Mine was stuck with the message “boot” it is possible to put the clock back working??
lcapriotti Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I messed up my emmc and after having restored it using Burn_Card_Maker_V2.0.3 with both factory images and custom images (slimbox) I have lost ability to boot from SD and USB Is it because the u-boot is broken or not the one I had before? Does an armbian image that I could use with Burn_Card_Maker exist ?
lcapriotti Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I figured out a combination of bad SD cards and possibly the CD card reader that is not 100% reliable is creating the above situation, hence I started investigating the install to emmc following the instructions available here BUT the install script seems to be missing from Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0.img.xz, am I mistaken?

Mine was stuck with the message “boot” it is possible to put the clock back working?? this would need these drivers, I wonder if they are available in armbian, there is also another thread in the forum but nobody answered.
SteeMan Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 @lcapriotti The process for installing a TV box image into emmc is to run the appropriate script in the /root directory.

There are two possible candidates: install-aml-s905-emmc.sh and install-aml.sh, which one shall be used on our box?

The install-aml-s905-emmc.sh is for boxes running the s905 cpu The install-aml.sh script is for boxes running all other s905?? cpus (s905x,s905w, s905x2, s905x3, etc) I don't have any s905 based boxes so I have only ever used the install-aml.sh script for my s905w, s905x2 and s905x3 boxes.

Once again tank you very much for your help, since you have helping me i have home assistant running perfectly :)
Daniel Cagarrinho Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 I need some help, did anyone get wifi working with tanix tx3?? what i can do to make it work???

Daniel, Were you able to get the wifi up and running? I'm having the same problem, I tried a few things but without success.
Daniel Cagarrinho Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 I have successfully connected wifi, but wen I reboot the box the os cannot start properly!!! I have followed the instructions from this topic
SteeMan Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 17 hours ago, Daniel Cagarrinho said: wen I reboot the box the os cannot start properly Can you provide anymore information? When you say the box doesn't start properly what exactly do you mean. Especially as you also said you have wifi working. Those two sentences seem to contradict each other, so there must be more information that you could share. Also is this happening from an install on SD or emmc? When did it stop working? What changes did you make between successfully working and your new problems?
Daniel Cagarrinho Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 I boot using a USB stick, then I used the two commands : ``` sudo mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt.old sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac-ap6330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt ``` after that I entered in the armbian-config and managed to connect to a wifi network, then restarted the box and no longer be able to boot armbian! Conclusion this two commands turn possible the usage of wifi, but somehow causes a problem removing the ability to boot the system after the change!!! Ps: I just can post 1 time a day here!

Could you please explain why do you use 6330 instead of 4330 ? And what is about your tvbox now, can you fix and boot again ? Tks

I have followed the instructions from this topic I have been focused on the wifi changes that I perhaps have overlooked something else. Do you have armbian installed on emmc? The reason I ask is that I have multiple boxes where if armbian is installed on emmc, they sometimes will not reboot. The work around is to install an sd card (with a bootable version of armbian installed, including the correct dtb configured), boot once from the sd card and then remove the sd card and the system will then boot normally from emmc.

Ngo Thang Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Hi all I try again 2 commands sudo mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt.old sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac-ap6330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt And now my TX3 Mini has wifi, good news ! my TX3 Mini uses S905W, not S905X3 and uses SP6330 - X, not SP6330, my dtb is "/dtb/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dtb" Now it has wifi but no bluetooth and I still really want it have bluetooth. Does anyone here try to get bluetooth in TX3 mini with same chipsets as mine ? Thanks
spirake Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Hi SteeMan I have a box H96 max x3 (Amlogic s905x3) and I can't put the android back, it doesn't recognize usb with Burning tool. I installed armbian and it recognizes sd and usb with armbian. Do you have a backup copy of emmc with android 9? How can I flash the room?
spirake Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 I solved it by making a bridge on the board and I was able to learn android again. Thank you
hali Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Quote 3. To get wifi working: ``` sudo mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt.old sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac-ap6330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt ``` Thanks, these commands worked on my TX6 (4+32gb) 😀 wifi is working now. It has same SP6330 Wifi / bluetooth Chip. Following is the detail to my tx6 Edited February 17, 2023 by hali
