I finally managed to install the latest EMMC: V1.0

Just remember that my device is 4gb 32gb

I don't test 8gb 64gb images until my device arrive from China

The v0.8 version was build from 64gb @hzdm and v0.9 ported it to 32gb and 64gb

tomorrow I will try it

Next Step to the H96 MAX v56:
@thc013 what did you think about using Rockchip SoCs NPU?

It has already been tested and works perfectly, excellent work.

BrunoMerz · December 12, 2023

Great work!

I could do Step 1 and 2 and I could create a new user and it seems everything is working well. Now after rebooting the system nothing happens. Screen is black, no boot messages. Well, I'm not an expert and therefore I need some help. For me it looks like that a bootloader is missing or something else.

Dear @BrunoMerz
it happends because you don't follow the first boot fix, "step 3"
Now you need to setup all again.
do the Step 1 and 2 again...

Step 3: Do the First boot fix:

When you boot, set the admin password, and after that, go to terminal and do the Device FIX:

################################ 8GB devices Fix ##############################

8GB device First Boot Comand:

fdisk /dev/mmcblk1

t
4
1
w

# this GPT file was generated from a 4gb device.
# in 8gb device you will need to trick the gpt after instalation
# First boot comand:

What you will see on prompt:

fdisk
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.37.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.
This disk is currently in use - repartitioning is probably a bad idea.
It's recommended to umount all file systems, and swapoff all swap
partitions on this disk.

Command (m for help): t
Partition number (1-4, default 4): 4
Partition type or alias (type L to list all): 1

Changed type of partition 'Linux filesystem' to 'EFI System'.

Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered.
Syncing disks.

Now you can safe reboot and use your armbian device.

👍thanks a lot!

I bought H96 MAX V56 RK3566 4G and installed Linux with RKDevTool_Release_v2.86 as was described. Everything works like a charm Very cheap small Linux PC I use it for the transmission and Samba :) One small thing I need is Volumio. Is it possible to somehow install this https://community.volumio.com/t/volumio3-on-radxa-rock-3a-open-beta-test/61516 image with the same tool? I did not succeed with that.

@Andriy is talking aboud a Volumio OS distro,
Transform your Raspberry Pi, or PC with Volumio's innovative software.

First things first, Here is Armbian Distro,
We talk about Debian and Arm things,
So, for better support i think you can take the Volumio Forum as Base to Build your image,
https://community.volumio.com/t/sound-quality-running-volumio-3-on-different-hw-devices/61059

By the Armbian Side, Volumio is debian based,
You can bring the Root image from Volumio distro and apply the BootLoader from @hzdm v0.8 method.

Follow this Guide
it's based on original guide

Hello,

I sucesfullly flashed image "Ubuntu_20.04.5_K4.19.219_RK3566_H96_MAX_8GB_No_Video_OUT_WIFI_OK_PARTITIONING" to my RK3566" device (model = H96 Max v56).

I did an apgrade to Ubuntu 22.04. Only the kernel update won't work:

I did manage to upgrade the kernel to version 6 by copying the boot directory from this post:

:

After that I upgraded to version 6.2.0 using "apt upgrade" twice:

The list of available updates is more than a week old.
To check for new updates run: sudo apt update

You can use it to upgrade images build from trunk

Antonio Cahuana · January 12

Installed on 8GB/64GB, and it runs well, although I know that for Cinnamon it wouldn't be ideal because it lacks hardware acceleration. However, it's suitable for use as a server.

Hello,

I am very struggling of starting Bluetooth (WiFi works). My chip is marked as HCY6335, but i am unable to start it. Where do i need to begin with? Using unmodified hotnikq's image

You can try to apply things from Manjaro Arc Linux.
the build something with hardware acceleration for RK3566 and I test it on Rock3A device.

To build graphic responsive distro:
Follow the path:
Rk3566 ----> ARK -----> Manjaro ----> Wayland ------> Chromium

Where do i need to begin with?

I don't put bluetooth drivers there
you need to figure out and bring this to our forum
here your patch to follow:

@Martynas Skapas :
I have already played through this problem with another rockchip box. The problem there was that the manufacturer unexpectedly replaced the 6334 chip with the 2734C.
Here is my post about it from the past:

Can you explain this?

Is it mainline?

Is the repository package or compiled or something else?

I cannot get video acceleration in youtube. I have tried with gstreamer web browsers, ffmpeg with v4l2-request and firefox, but nothing.

It works very well in video player and web video acceleration it's just the last item to get a decent desktop computer.

I have got video player acceleration with flathub clapper for 1080p with 20% CPU. Enough for me. Based on hantro driver so no 4k. There's also a @jock tutorial for debían to enable ffmpeg v4l2-request that is equivalent.

I have understood that must enable webrtc-pipewire in chromium, isnt It?

Edited January 17 by maka

maka · January 17

No way. I get 100% with 1080p.

Enabled: WebRTC PipeWire support

When enabled the WebRTC will use the PipeWire multimedia server for capturing the desktop content on the Wayland display server. – Linux

if your wayland dispay acceleration works,
you will need a patched chromium with WebRTC enabled

paradigman · February 6

Could someone make an update image that already has Wayland pre-installed, with working acceleration?

This is the 4gb topic!
did you have a ubuntu 22.04 x86-64 computer?

You can build it by your self:
1. Copy the h96-max-v56 directory to build/packages/blobs/ directory
2. Copy the h96-max-v56.conf file to the build/config/boards/ directory
3. Run the image build

I installed it and when it experienced a sudden shutdown, the boot got damaged and didn't start, so I reinstalled the boot to boot up, something that doesn't happen with other rk using the Multitool which helps a lot

Installed on 8GB/64GB, and it runs well, although I know that for Cinnamon it wouldn't be ideal because it lacks hardware acceleration. However, it's suitable for use as a server.

This Chinese box It's always a surprise.
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
Kernel V6.6 was the new standart if you build any image let me know

@Antonio Cahuana

About the hardware acceleration, i think you can install Video drivers:

# Tested on 4gb 32gb version (04/04/2024)

If you given up of Armbian Linux on your H96MAX RK3566 TV box
Think Again and again and again and again, because:

@hzdm updated armbian Build configuration:

V1.1 HZDM original Build Armbian Tutorial:

#START#
On Linux:

1 - Follow the Build Armbian instructions
if it doesnt Build your image as espected
rm -rf build
git clone --depth 1 --branch v24.02 https://github.com/armbian/build
try again and again and again and again

2 - Download H96MAX Armbian Build Config (Original Source)
3 - Copy the h96-max-v56 directory to build/packages/blobs/ directory
4 - Copy the h96-max-v56.conf file to the build/config/boards/ directory
5 - Run the image build
./compile.sh

On Windows:

6 - Download the Armbian.cfg file to RKDevTool (Original Source)

7 - Drop it on RKDevTool

8 - Shutting down H96 MAX.
9 - Press the Reset button.
10 - Turn on the H96 MAX.
11 - Wait until The message "Found One MASKROM Device" or "Found One LOADER Device" should appear. (1)
12 - Mark all 2 sections with check marks (2)
13 - Open 2 files for each section (3)
14 - Check "Write by Address" (4).

15 - Press the "Run" button (5). The download will start.
When the message "Download image OK" appears, the download is finished (6).
16 - H96 MAX will automatically reboot.

Done.

Alternative: On Linux OS

rkdeveloptool db MiniLoaderAll.bin # If this is not your first time flashing with this firmware, an error may appear here\. It\'s not a big deal
rkdeveloptool wl 0x0 Your_Armbian_Image-trunk_H96-max-v56_jammy_current_6.1.62.img

rkdeveloptool rd

And because a malware was discovered in the XZ library from Edge trixie and Edge sid
I came here again to remove and ReBuild all afected images.

Ubuntu: One of the most popular Linux distributions is not affected as its xz version is the older 5.4 version. No updates are required.
Debian Linux: No stable versions of the distribution were affected.

but compromised packages were part of test, unstable and experimental versions. Users must update xz-utils.
