Efforts to develop firmware for H96 MAX V56 RK3566 8G/64G

The compatible = part was only to make the driver module load automatically.  The driver module itself had to be first compiled into the kernel using source code from the chip vendor.  I suggest you try my DTB (it might be close to what you need) and then post your dmesg as a file (sudo dmesg > dmesg.txt).

can it be compiled in currently running armbian ? my computer specs and internet speed is not decend enough to compile armbian from scratch, compile using github action may be a choice but i don't know how to do that yet.

 

i attached the dmesg.txt with your dtb, my bluetooth seems incompatible with your dtb, and ethernet still not working

dmesg.txt

 

also added dmesg with default dtb (rk3566-h96-tvbox.dtb), bluetooth is working

dmesg-hqnic.txt

Others may chime in but I really think you are going to need to get access to a suitable computer and compile armbian with kernel patches from here :

 

https://github.com/CoreELEC/linux-amlogic/pull/13

 

You will need a PC running Ubuntu 22.04 or emulated using something like VirtualBox.  

 

@GBEM made a good guide here :

would you mind assist me to assign those values to rk3566-h96-tvbox.dtb ?

I think the main way to go is to create a .dtsi that will patch the base "old" board with this new features,
 

+&gmac1 {
+ phy-mode = "rgmii";
+ clock_in_out = "output";
+ snps,reset-gpio = <&gpio4 RK_PC2 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ snps,reset-active-low;
+ /* Reset time is 20ms, 100ms for rtl8211f */
+ snps,reset-delays-us = <0 100000 200000>;
+ assigned-clocks = <&cru SCLK_GMAC1_RX_TX>, <&cru SCLK_GMAC1>;
+ assigned-clock-parents = <&cru SCLK_GMAC1_RGMII_SPEED>;
+ assigned-clock-rates = <0>, <125000000>;
+ pinctrl-names = "default";
+ pinctrl-0 = <&gmac1m1_miim
+ &gmac1m1_tx_bus2
+ &gmac1m1_rx_bus2
+ &gmac1m1_rgmii_clk
+ &gmac1m1_rgmii_bus>;
+ tx_delay = <0x4b>;
+ rx_delay = <0x26>;
+ phy-handle = <&rgmii_phy1>;
+ status = "okay";
+};
