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
https://github.com/hqnicolas/pop_os_arm64/tree/main

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.

@Hqnicolas are you referring to https://www.h96tvbox.com/product/h96-max-v56/ or https://www.h96tvbox.com/product/h96-max-3566/ ?

 

I have H96 MAX RK3566 8/128 (not H96 max v56 ) , trying to :

  1. burn this armbian : https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/25.2.0-trunk.86/Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.86_H96-tvbox-3566_bookworm_current_6.6.63_minimal.img.xz using balena etcher into a usb flash disk.
  2. put the burned usb flashdisk into the box
  3. holding the reset button using toothpick while plugging the power

 

but nothing happen, led only shows "boot" text, screen only show the "RK3566" logo and then blank.

 

what i am missing here ?

to achieve this USB boot you need to have a UEFI installed on the device
If you don't have a UEFI you need to follow the tutorial I mentioned above using the latest releases

Find your Backup ROM or download from WEB.
"4G-RK3566_userdebug_H96_Max_RK3566_11_20210810.1920.img"
"8G-RK3566_userdebug_H96_Max_RK3566_11_20210421.2051.img"
 

extract the image using the "windows" app or use it on "linux" app

 

$ imgRePackerRK.exe /cid /2nd /debug  /log update.img



imgRePackerRK_107h_test
imgRePackerRK_107m_test
imgRePackerRK_107

is it the same as rkdevtool's "Firmware Unpack" in "Advanced Function" tab ? i do find MiniLoaderAll.bin in the output folder

 

and instead of downloading from 3rd party websites, i download the original firmware from their (i think) official website https://www.h96tvbox.com/firmware-download/

i didn't soldering the sdcard reader into the pcb yet, was hoping if there's a way to run armbian without doing any hardware modification.

Thanks for your great works on building armbian on this tv box.

I'm also looking for a method where the box could start from usb, some systems like emmuELEC needs to be started from usb...

I tried a lot but all failed, I'm a pretty fresh here.

I had some stupid questions:

1. Does it support to change boot priority by Uboot? I tried rk Uboot and mainline Uboot, nothing of UBoot info was printed on the hdmi output. The dts file is decompiled from dtb file in one official armbian image.

2. How to flash and boot usb from UEFI?

My dear @ring1012, I have done an test image for this case, I don't know if it will replace libreelec completely.
but I believe you are a candidate to test and give us feedback.

You could try things Like PS1 Emulators
