Diamond A9 amlogic s912

Hi everyone!!!

After a some time away, I decided to deep in an installation of ARMBIAN on S912. I follow the steps described above, complemented with    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4qzfOOPbYA and https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0094.html

 

Some cares must checked (and minors workaround) to boot from micro-SD, but at the end, everything runs fine.

My box is a Diamond A9 (RUPA) with 2G/16G (RAM and ROM)

The sound only by the HDMI and the AV/SPDIF does not work neither.

The final result was reasonable due the speed, my expectations were bigger. But everything is runs stable but slow.

Thanks for all, specially, balbes and steeman for this thread.

 

Cheers

Claudio

Hi everyone

I had written the lines above, but, recently  I used a new kernel image from ArmBian. The system is fast and stable:
PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 20.10 Bullseye"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"

the TV BOX installed is here?

or
https://www.geekbuying.com/item/Diamond-A9-Amlogic-S912-2GB-16GB-TV-Box-388986.html

 

But I have a lot of the troubles with the Ethernet (eth0), due the this board is not supported or well known by any DTB files in this version.

Luckily, the tip from :

I build some DTB files for this Box RUPA Diamond S912 A9, based in @mumpitzstuff description. 
I follow all the steps et all. The DTS and DTB generated for this box are in: 
https://github.com/claudiosa/linux_variety/tree/master/armbian/rupa_DIAMOND_A9_S912_2G/extlinux

Three of them that worked are attached. Remenber do the conversion DTS to DTB with some warnings.

Really, I would like know where @mumpitzstuff discovered such technical details for this Ethernet board.

The sound from HDMI is not working yet, future, any adaptation in DTS files to works fine.

Really, a great job for this forum people. Everyone helps as possible.

Please, feel free to react me
