balbes150 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 New image 20170828 kernel 4.12.9. In this way there is support for USB on the platform S905X. You can run the system from SD cards and USB flash drives. Changed the activation system monitor, now it is built into the kernel itself. To change the screen resolution, you need to use standard tools from control monitor on a desktop. The resolution changes on the fly (directly on desktop). Not working yet WiFi. There are problems with the dtb files (requires the edit and debug under different models). For s905x recommend to use a file meson-gxl-s905x-nexbox-a95x or meson-gxl-s905x-khadas-vim1. For the model s905 - meson-gxbb-odroidc2. 1
balbes150 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Posted September 1, 2017 New image 20170901 kernel 4.13.0-rc6 and next-4.13.0-rc7 for S905X. Working USB. 1
martinayotte Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 @balbes150, could you please provide links when you've new images, I've always issues to find them, couldn't on https://yadi.sk/d/srrtn6kpnsKz2/Linux ... Thanks in advance,
balbes150 Posted September 2, 2017 Author Posted September 2, 2017 The test images are the same link, in the directory Armbin/Test. Here's a direct link to the catalog. https://yadi.sk/d/kZHc0uQE34z5jR

balbes150 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 Update TEST images kernel 4.13.0-next_20170905. In these images there is USB support for S905X and S912. 1
balbes150 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Posted September 7, 2017 Version update TEST kernel 4.13.0_next_20170907. Added support for sound for all models S905X and S912. Pay attention to one feature of the work of sound - on the desktop has to be set 1920x1080 resolution. Not clear to me yet why the sound only works in this screen resolution. For some recent images to use these additions, you can only download the kernel and dtb files (deb packages are in the directory TEST\deb) to install in the existing system (don't forget to update the file "dtb.img" to a new version). 1

Since i got a couple of S905X boxes at home, i gave Nexbox A95X S905X a try, boots with multiple DTB, but only meson-gxbb-nexbox-a95x.dtb seems to be able to boot into ldm/mate. But there is no response from USB mouse nor keyboard. As USB is supported now, what could this be? EDIT: images being tested are from 20170907.
intelmarico Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.13.0-next-20170908_mate.img.xz successfully boots into a green textured mate on my X96 (1+16) box. USB wired mouse and USB keyboard both work fine. I can play the movie and access folders but little else. The settings file (config) opens but there are few options, and I have not discovered how to access the console or enable wifi yet. I assume HDMI is working at 720p. Have not checked audio. Am using the A95x dtb file.

But there is no response from USB mouse nor keyboard. As USB is supported now, what could this be? 1. If the system runs with file gxbb , then this is the version with the chip S905 (no X). 2. Try all the dtb files, the title of which is "gxbb". 7 hours ago, intelmarico said: enable wifi yet WiFi in this kernel version is not supported. 7 hours ago, intelmarico said: I assume HDMI is working at 720p Sound only works with 1080p resolution (you can switch the screen resolution on the fly in a working system, via the settings menu of the monitor group Settings).

pro777 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 balbes150, thank you very much for your excellent work! I have a KM8P S912 - on firmware at the 20170908 with the kernel 4.13 works USB-mouse and the keyboard, there is a sound at the resolution of the screen 1920х1080. As I understand it, there a problem when installing this firmware on EMMC?
balbes150 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Posted September 12, 2017 In the test builds (with the kernel 4.x) there are many things not completed and there are errors, these images and dtb data changes frequently. So I have not tested the installation to the internal memory.
pro777 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Can you please tell me how to install the firmware on EMMC? Is there any way to install the GPU Mali drivers? Are there any advantages of the 4.13 kernel compared to the 3.14 kernel?

Less than $20 for a Tanix TX3 mini with 1GB RAM and 16GB eMMC. I have no such models, so until the owner of such a model itself will not check, we do not know.

hillz Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Do you guys plan to support S905W ? I just ordered Tanix TX3 Mini with S905W chipset, it'd be great to be able to install a linux distro in it.
