Did anyone made any progress? I also bought a TVBox transpeed with H618 and I would like to install armbian to make my own server based in Linux.

Anyone tried with H616 image? By the way, is it possible to backup original ROM before I run some tests? Cause if it not works I would like to keep my TV Box working on.

 

you can install and boot from the sd card, also h616 uses nand flash, which can't write on it (or maybe it uses emmc)

@dale there’s a new patch to fix boards without external 32k clock. I haven’t tested it yet.

You apply the patch to the kernel source-tree, In this case we will use meson64 as an example.

 

Add the patch to: patch/kernel/archive/meson64-6.12/

Enable in the defconfig: echo "CONFIG_OPENVFD=m" >> config/kernel/linux-meson64-current.config

Build a new  IMG or KERNEL as one normally would for your unit.

Hi I got error when applying the patch you shared.

Can I know how to fix it?
