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?

Hi, Armi. Thanks for your very welcome comments about the write-up.

I suspect adb may be an Android thing, and is a total mystery to me. Try shorting the eMMC CLK and GND pads, then running lsusb and look for the Rockchip MASK ROM loader there.

I also started-out with a hacked-together USB type-A male to type-A male cable. Yours might be different, but mine would only work plugged in one direction, and was so problematic that I finally relented and bought a 1-meter commercial cable. I think it was only around AUD$5.

Sorry Armi, I'm having issues with the comment section on my website. Rather than have you wait for me to sort that out before replying to your query, yes, the current kernel does have linked-in support for video acceleration:

dmesg | grep vpu
[ 12.086654] hantro-vpu fdea0000.video-codec: Adding to iommu group 0
[ 12.137712] hantro-vpu fdea0000.video-codec: registered rockchip,rk3568-vpu-dec as /dev/video1
[ 12.138138] hantro-vpu fdee0000.video-codec: Adding to iommu group 1
[ 12.143445] hantro-vpu fdee0000.video-codec: registered rockchip,rk3568-vepu-enc as /dev/video2

Thanks again for your kind words.

btw i personally never shorted any pins ever on my box. for me ALWAYS worked:

while powercyle push an hold the reset button for 10 sec or so. then the bootloader comes up. maybe its not in mask rom mode then you have to switch to it via rockchip dev tool

feel free to fix this erro on Uboot dtb/dts files.

Vincenzoernst1 · August 20

@Vincenzoernst1

I have no interest in fixing this

I'm not going to keep polishing software since I already know how to get around the problem

If you want, you can make a pull request
creating an exclusive dts/dtb for the h96 max within uboot 2024/7 including the maskroom button

I can help direct your efforts here

he!

i also have no interest in fixing this, since my todo list is full of important real life problems to fix. so i literally already have work for years in my free time. so someone else should step in.

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.

[ 6.519079] rk817-codec rk817-codec: rk817_probe: chip_name:0x80, chip_ver:0x94

[ 6.525779] input: rockchip-rk809 Headset as /devices/platform/rk809-sound/sound/card0/input2

I am using OPi3b v2.1 with same RK817 audio, however I am failing for past month & my 3.5mm audio out is not working under vendor 6.1x kernel (both from Armbian / Joshua) interestingly both have same error!

However mainline kernel has no problem but because of H265 VPU I prefer to use vendor kernel. Can you please help. My fiddlings are mentioned ar github

here in this topic we dont use rk817 probe, the devices not even have a metalic connector to feedback

here we remove it because the output was optic audio
@Werner can you take @ioncube to orangepi3b topic?

@maka: "Success with amazingfate rockchip_ vdec2 activartion". Please describe the necessary steps for it. Also write down exactly which image you used.

Thanks.

You just have to build a good one with edge kernel, and not change the dtb.

Hqnicolas · September 25

You just have to build a good one with edge kernel, and not change the dtb.

Did you compile kernel 6.9?

maka · September 26

Kernel 6.10 is the Minimum to get rkvdec2 but now edge is 6.11 so you will have It from now using edge.

@maka can you update the h96 max scripts to reach this kernel version?
we are stuck in 6.6....
since 6.8 I think i'ts impossible to boot....

@pocosparc I just see today what you did to the https://github.com/hqnicolas/ArmBoardBringUp/tree/main

can you show your case? I haven't heard anything more about your openVFD project

i formatted using the official source system for community, used the server version, configured everything I could but I would like to use the 12v source as a power source, my tvbox only works through the usb port, thanks for any help.

i think i'ts a 5V power brick.

if you put 12v the regulator is burned,
if you use the original 5v, check the power brick P2 Jack polarity and voltage.
the original power brick it's not the most reliable

@Vincenzoernst1 thanks for the advice,
i made a Pull Request (PR) to enable kernel 6.9 Current and 6.11 Edge

https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/7310/files

now the community releases will build 6.9 and 6.11 for this box, Please test and keep a copy of it.

Hqnicolas · October 1

As @maka and @Vincenzoernst1 related, the VPU was working
if somebody want to test NPU, GPU and VPU integration, I recomend Frigate: https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/installation/#rockchip-platform

seems to work ok!
