How to install armbian in h618?

 I guess transferring the dtb to official armbian kernel 6.12.43 will work. Most of warpme’s collection of patches are already in the official armbian build. There might be some differences.

it works OK on stock kernel, but there's some strange things with network/routing. I use static IP with static default route, and often when I run wget or apt install I've got 'network unreachable'; ping 8.8.8.8 -i 0.1 (or other IP not from internal subnet; for ex., external IP of router) - may ping OK without any losses for a seconds and then loss packets for seconds or even tens of seconds, or may report 'ping: Do you want to ping broadcast? Then -b. If not, check your local firewall rules' and exit. IPs from internal subnet are pinged OK.

 

but when I tried to add static route for some external IP via default gateway - it starts to work OK, and works OK even when route is removed.

 

does anybody noticed such strange things?

hi, Compilation error, I also decompiled the dts available for Android for reference     output.dts  @Nick A

[Nick A]

@emor acid The error above says you are missing node or label "reg_gmac_3v3". Add this just below "reg_vcc5v" in in your dts.

	reg_gmac_3v3: gmac-3v3 {
		compatible = "regulator-fixed";
		regulator-name = "gmac-3v3";
		regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
		regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
		regulator-always-on;
		vin-supply = <&reg_vcc5v>;
	};

@John Taylor I found the driver source code for your wifi but it's for an older android/linux kernel. I asked info@lb-link.com for the linux/android driver. They sent me SWT6621S_H25.34.7.1_F25.34.6.1.rar

Delete the cache and output folder. Try again.

After wanting to use Debian 13 (Trixie) @Nick A suggested trying to build it myself, and this was my first experience building an Armbian image. I encountered some obstacles, but I got through them.
 

I saw that the model was mentioned branch v20251014. I tried building it (Mate Desktop), which as build smoother than (v20250306) before. I tried booting it with this box (Transpeed 8K618-T)  and and found that the wifi was not visible. I followed the troubleshooting methods in the previous thread solved it. I have installed additional IR remote and OpenVFD. Now everything is smooth and happy.
 

The only thing left is the video acceleration, but that would be difficult because it is beyond my ability.

Finally, thank you, @Nick A
