Thank you @Hqnicolas,  4g32g img did not work for me. I had no debug tool, so I don't know what're the blockers.

But I tried to install retroarch in armbian, and load the cores from https://github.com/christianhaitian/retroarch-cores, it works for me.

Can you share your experience?
I literally downloaded the 32gb image to test and everything went fine, google didn't corrupt the file "yet"

You're talking about this kernel 6.6 images?

 

the image contains many built-in features, such as kodi and internet game archive with retroarch android emulator and Windows emulator

Hello, fellow H96 musers.

I've just acquired a 4G/32G H96 Max V56, and tried to flash an image that works on an earlier 8G/64G H96 Max V56, using the appropriate 4G booloader rather than the one I used for the 8G.

The HAOS image boots fine, but everything about the Ethernet and WiFi must be wrong, as I have no networking hardware configured.

I'm curious to know if there are differences between the 4G/32G board and the 8G/64G, other than eMMC size, that might account for the above outcome?

Tthe only other thing I can think of, is that the 4G/32G board I recently acquired has different WiFi/Bluetooth and Ethernet chips fitted, and the drivers from my 8G/64G build aren't suited?

8G/64G H96 Max V56

PCB: LP6E27116A0

Wifi/BT: HC16335, S3144335

Ethernet: Realtek, RTL8211

 

4G/32G H96 Max V56

PCB: LS6E28533A0

Wifi/BT: SKI.WB800D80S.1_D40, 2023AP20230(M)

Ethernet: Maxio, MAE0621A-02C

Thoughts, or driver suggestions, anyone?

p.s. If anyone has the stock rom for this box I'd be entirely grateful. Through absent mindedness, I foolishly didn't preserve mine.

See my recent posts in the 64gb thread.  You'll need to build an image with MAE0621A-02C support.

 

The same thread will also give you dinner hints for to make the WiFi work with aic8800.

Thanks, @WINEDS.

I see you guy's are all over it, have at least the Ethernet sorted, and hints on the path to WiFi.

I found an AllWinner CPU board from Radxa, that uses the same network peripherals as the newer H96 Max V56. 

The Radxa Cubie A5E is reported to feature WiFi6 and Bluetooth 5.4 using it's BLink BL-M8800DS2, which would be a step-up for me.

https://docs.radxa.com/en/cubie/a5e/other-system/tina-os/build-system   <- bsp, etc.

Wish me luck.
