I have a H96 Max, but it cannot boot from multitools. It always boots from original Android TV, I tried replacing different sd card but no luck, meanwhile other ones work perfectly
How can I do now?

Do SD cards work at all in android? Maybe the SD cards slot is damaged or something...

Hi, @jock

Do you have functional ethernet in uboot?

 

At first it was not work at all with eth probe error: No PHY reset control found: ret=-61

Then I've replaced reset handle location in u-boot/drivers/net/gmac_rockchip.c:

- ret = reset_get_by_name(dev, "mac-phy", &pdata->phy_reset);
+ ret = reset_get_by_index_nodev(args.node, 0,  &pdata->phy_reset);

 

Now, eth probes without errors but has 50% packet loss (uboot's netconsole is unusable), negotiate at 10Mbit, and every second boot or so it doesn't work at all.

 I did not delve into ethernet, but the "No ethernet found" message I often see in u-boot makes me think it has some troubles.

Also I did not further investigate because v2024.01 finally happened to be transitioning version, in fact I already have a branch working with v2024.07-rc4 as suggested by @Kwiboo in the github issue about memory addresses and relocation.

In particular, there is the rmii support patch that is being carried on starting from v2022.04 or even earlier and still applies, but don't know if it works correctly. It is important to note that this patch - as you may see - changes the device tree node substantially and that could be the reason mainline code breaks.

Hello,
is there any simple way how to switch the USB to device mode?
I would like to install PiKVM onto my X88 box. So I need one port in host mode (for video capturing) and second port in device mode (to simulate keyboard and mouse).
