How to install armbian in h618?

[Nick A]

Hi Dave,

I don't see any difference between our dts (That deal with hdmi/audio). Maybe the overlay dtbo_a changed something.? If you can extract that.

Have you tried your box with different TV/monitors and hdmi cables?

 

Here's my dts.

Hi Nick. I'm on a business trip now, I'll be able to check on Monday. Maybe I'm just not assembling the firmware correctly? I’ll try to compile it again and publish the output of dmesg or whatever you suggest to understand the problem. Thank you very much for your time and help.

Thanks!, saved me significant messing around. Generic-ish "T95MAX"(lol) here, 4GB... bridged UART rx FET Source Drain but no luck with that... mounted SD to setup some credentials.

 

Don't really use HDMI, BTOOTH, WIFI(rarely) but I owe you(s) one so if you need something let me know...

 

edit: board is one where BTOOTH seems like it works and WIFI does not due to new brcm chipset etc. etc.

board specifics

A bss138 FET or something similar can be used.

Can I ask if there is a build for 2gb ram? I'm using Vontar 618 with board vs Transpeed 8k 2gb version so it almost just hangs on the armbian logo. I have tried all versions of armdev build but they don't work

[Nick A]

Hi Long Vu,

you should install a UART Serial port so we can find out where it hangs.

Hi Long Vu . I use Vontar H618 2GB ram. it's running well with armbian 6.7.10 . only need to fix wifi driver

Manged to boot latest armbian on Transpeed T98 6K clone.

Don't quite understand actions needed to boot from SD card, but investigating uBoot setup I noticed, that it can also boot from USB stick.

 

I'd like to join the development. Device looks promising.

How can i flash to internal memory . it's better Sd card

[Nick A]

I have a patch for emmc internal memory but I haven't tested it yet. I got it from warpme's miniarch distro. If you go back a few pages you'll see how heiko910 installed to emmc.

Here's the latest build if anyone wants to test it out.

I downloaded PRxxxx_20240415_db21e5f7d_Arabian-unofficial_24.5.0-trunk_Transpeed-8k618-t_bookworm_edge_6.7.12_xfce_desktop.tar. xz 2024-04-17 14:51 964M. I used Rufus to write to SD.When turned on, the Arabian download started. When the desktop appeared, I ran arm bin-config and installed arabian in the internal memory. I deleted the SD card on reboot. The system booted from the internal memory. WI-FI and BT are not working. Everything else works very fast.
