Why can't the CPU frequency be adjusted in the armbian-config settings?

 

@gen ha what kernel are you using? 

6.6 mainline?
6.2 mainline?
5.1 legacy?
6.1 vendor?

I seem to have noticed the problem. I have two boxes, one old and one new. The old one can set the CPU frequency normally, but the new one does not work. No firmware works, and the desktop firmware for station M2 has become invalid. The picture shows that the hardware sizes of EMMC are different. I think hardware changes are the root cause. The error message is shown in the figure.

is it worth the risk?


@Vincenzoernst1absolutly NO

This board was made for android....
and the device tree is how the factory thinks about this board...
UEFI will need a lot of effort to get to the point where the device tree was

@paradigman 
you will need to extend partition size using the disc gui application from start menu.

df -h
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk1p1
df -h


Change language pack

sudo apt-get install language-pack-[cod]
sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-[cod]
sudo apt-get install  language-pack-[cod]-base
sudo apt-get install  language-pack-gnome-[cod]-base

 

Example: es "spanish"

sudo apt-get install language-pack-es
sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-es
sudo apt-get install  language-pack-es-base
sudo apt-get install  language-pack-gnome-es-base

 

and then change language on Pop_os! gui.

@paradigman if you like the idea, you can build your own Pop_os! image.
Download and install armbian regular image "desktop or server" and make this changes that I describe in my github repo

The H96 MAX Became Full supported by armbian Mainline

I want to clarify this statement.  Armbian does not support this box.  This is a Community Maintained box, which means it uses the Armbian infrastructure to produce automated weekly builds.  The effort to maintain and support this box comes from the community not from Armbian resources. (https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules)

So, keep a copy from this h96 armbian community, because in the future it may be useful, we left a period where the board was not working.
