Ricardo JL Rufino · April 22, 2021

Hi I got this Tvbox with H3 processor, I managed to boot using the image of the Orangepi PC.

However it still needs some improvements.

DISPLAY: OK
ETHERNET: OK
WIFI: NO
BLUETOOTH: NO
RAM: DETECTED ONLY 1GB of 4GB ?! WAY ?!?

Used image: Armbian_21.02.3_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.10.21.img.xz

How do I configure the total ram?

Your issue report is not a valid bug report per the Armbian bug reporting instructions (https://www.armbian.com/bugs). With limited resources the Armbian project is only able to spend time on issues where all the requested information has been provided and for only the boards/images/software that are supported. Your report is invalid for one or more of the following reasons (non-exhaustive list):

it is for an unsupported board or image (CSC/EOS/WIP/edge)
it is for software that is not supported (such as userspace modules installed on top of the core operating system)
it has been logged in the wrong forum (for example requests for help that are not actual bug reports)
it lacks requested data (armbianmonitor output)
it could have been easily solved by a quick search and/or reading documentation

Please review what you have submitted and the bug logging instructions (https://www.armbian.com/bugs) and either add the required information or open a new topic in the correct forum (such as Common issues / peer to peer technical support or General chit chat)

PS: you have been scammed. Allwinner H3 SoC can only address up to 2GB of memory.

Hi @Werner, thanks.

Sorry, as a beginner did not know this new policy. I came to share the discovery, and see if I got help from the community to understand how it could make this adjustment.

In Datasheet speaks 2GB in the CPU area, and 2GB in the GPU area. Totalizing 4GB, or am I wrong?
