xuandat09 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 [Help] I flashed my box with armbian 24.8.0-trunk.399, the RKBatch Tool showed download image is OK. However, it can't boot and after that I want to try to flash again with other firmware which i did before sometimes if can't boot to armbian. But the problem is that i can't enter the Loader/Maskrom mode even i do the same way with reset button + USB insert to PC. And therefore, i can't flash the firmware. Please anyone can help me to solve the problem. I tried to open the box and use short circuit but don't know how and where to do. Thank you in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watou Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 There's a link to the 8Gb mini loaded binary in this post linked below, and just use the latest official image for your TV box, like this one. Remember to uncompress the .xz image file before writing it, as I'm not sure the rk tools will do that for you. I've not done any of this yet, and I'm in a remote place trying to source a heckin' USB A to A cable! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This program you used was never mentioned: v0.7 -> v0.9 -> v1.0 -> v1.1 you will need to short CLK and GND and follow v1.1 tutorial with 24.8.0-trunk.399 Quote Edited August 4 by Hqnicolas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watou Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 @Hqnicolas I'm very happy to have booted and now running the latest Armbian trunk on my H96 Max V56 4GB/32GB! But I'm not having success using openvfd to get the time to display on the box's face. I only get the blue backlight and red LED heartbeat. I found your post here and a link to your github repo here. I followed the instructions, referring to my current kernel 6.6.45, but the instruction I understood the least was Step 3: 3. Update dts using armbian-config openvfd { compatible = "open,vfd"; dev_name = "openvfd"; status = "okay"; }; I interpreted that to mean sudo armbian-config, choose System, Dtc, and find some place to paste the above, save and exit, choose y to apply the changes, which produces a long set of warning messages like the following. ... /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:4892.4-29: Warning (gpios_property): /gpio-keys-control/button-r1:gpios: cell 0 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:4898.4-29: Warning (gpios_property): /gpio-keys-control/button-r2:gpios: cell 0 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:4912.4-29: Warning (gpios_property): /gpio-keys-vol/button-vol-down:gpios: cell 0 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:4918.4-29: Warning (gpios_property): /gpio-keys-vol/button-vol-up:gpios: cell 0 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:4926.3-47: Warning (gpios_property): /mux-controller:mux-gpios: cell 0 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:4926.3-47: Warning (gpios_property): /mux-controller:mux-gpios: cell 3 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:4983.3-34: Warning (gpios_property): /sdio-pwrseq:reset-gpios: cell 0 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:4989.3-27: Warning (gpios_property): /regulator-vcc3v3-lcd0:gpio: cell 0 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:5018.3-27: Warning (gpios_property): /regulator-vcc-wifi:gpio: cell 0 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:5062.3-52: Warning (gpios_property): /sound:simple-audio-card,hp-det-gpio: cell 0 is not a phandle reference /tmp/tmp.zItxtnh4vV/current.dts:5079.3-35: Warning (gpios_property): /audio-amplifier:enable-gpios: cell 0 is not a phandle reference Do you want to replace active dtb with current modification(s)? (y/n)y On reboot, there is no /proc/device-tree/openvfd so I assume I edited the device tree incorrectly?

Any pointers on how to complete these changes so the clock appears would be very much appreciated. Cheers! watou 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBEM Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Hello, I've just discovered Armbian, an OS that I'm sure I can make good use of on my H96 Max V56 rk3566 8GB/64GB. Thank you to all contributors for such an awesome project. I'd like to help-out somehow, but GitHub & issues reporting is beyond my comprehension. Thought I'd raise a few queries here, in the hope that issue 1 might gravitate to the appropriate maintainer. 1. bootloader issue: When built for the H96 Max V56, the resulting image will boot from an SD card okay, can be installed from the SD card, or can be installed via MASK ROM mode. After installation on the eMMC, however, the RockChip rk3566 MASK ROM mode refuses to connect. It apparently doesn't like something in the bootloader, as when overwritten with an historical bootloader, the MASK ROM mode works fine again (but the system then won't boot). 2. backup rkdeveloptool: Some difficulty in obtaining working backups from MASK ROM mode with this tool. sudo ./rkdeveloptool db H96-MAX-8gb-MiniLoaderAll.bin sudo ./rkdeveloptool rl 0 122142720 backup.img && beep sudo ./rkdeveloptool rd sudo ./rkdeveloptool db H96-MAX-8gb-MiniLoaderAll.bin sudo ./rkdeveloptool wl 0 backup.img && beep sudo ./rkdeveloptool rd Won't boot! Can anyone familiar with this tool see my error? 3. npu. I can't find a driver for the RockChip NPU in the kernel configuration during an Armbian build. Could this possibly be compiled as an external module, and linked-in during boot? Awesome effort, peeps. Thanks so much for this project, and what it has does for my little TV box.

pocosparc Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Where do we stand right now with the mainline kernels. What works and what doesn't? I was a bit busy lately with everything and have set aside this project. I still need to fix that openVFD driver. I the latest trunk already stable enough to reflash it to eMMC?

It's an problem with mainline bootloader that doesn't detect the "reset button" from back painel. "the maskroom button" You will need to use the CLK - GND method. @pocosparc I believe there has been a significant improvement in video processing since kernel 6.2, but performance will be strong once we can migrate to kernel 6.10.1 from this kernel 6.6.45 @pessimism have an board with SSD reader and TTL debug that can help Edited August 13 by Hqnicolas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"the maskroom button" You will need to use the CLK - GND method. Thanks, @Hqnicolas Curiously, It's both the reset button method, and eMMC CLK shorting MASK ROM modes that go away. The device boots into MASK ROM mode, as opposed to a normal boot, however there's no USB device available to flash with. Trash the bootloader and you get the MASK ROM (CLK shorting) mode back. I'm not bothered by it. It's just something to be aware of I guess. Sooner or later someone is going to say that their box is comprehensively bricked. Without an SD card socket or TTL port to upset the offending eMMC bootloader, to a certain extent that may be true. Golly, I can't tell you all just how very pleased I am with Armbian on my H96 Max V56 TV box. It works so remarkably well, and is a tremendous credit to all those that have diligently worked on it, and have brought it to this stage. I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Awesome!

Armi Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Hi H96 community! First of all I want thank to @Hqnicolas ( thank you for reply in Spring, unfortunately only now I'm trying to find time to firmware my box) and other people who have developed greatly this project for H96 box! And secondly I've just discovered the last post with guide from @GBEM, amazing man, it's really that I wanted, manual in details, step by step, great contribution! Appreciate it guys and hoping to be helpful to this community in my spare time! p.s. I've made USB male to male cable from 2 cables ,I activated debug mode in Android on Tv box, but adb shell didn't see any device, other TV box too. On one USB jack GND has contact to the metal jack itself ( I've tested by multimeter),could this cause any problems?
