How to install armbian in h618?

[firepower]

I tried booting with Tanix Tx6 miniarch images burned with balenaEtcher-linux-x64.

MiniArch-20240715-6.10.10-board-h616.tanix_tx6s_axp313-SD-Image.img.xz

MiniArch-20240715-6.10.10-board-h616.tanix_tx6s-SD-Image.img.xz

micro sdcard has boot and root partitions

I get nothing black screen on LG TV and clock LED blank.

Do i need to copy dts file or edit file ?

never done this before.

Just carefull, balena Etcher cant write compacted file, need big plain img file. It succeed but sure blank screen. Try using rufus. If still blank, need open the box and seek serial console connection (try google for detail) to display error

Belena Etcher Uncompresses the image then writes image then verifies image.

I switched to just clicking on compressed image and use linux default restore image using Disks.

I now try using extracted image and usb image writer.  this does not work

I am using Linux Mint but can also boot win10.

I check out rufus too. i also have many other on my win10 drive.

thanks for your help

update:

using Rufus to burn image to sdcard gives same result black screen on tv and led clock blank

Do i need press any buttons inside box ? 

what should i expect to see if it works ?

 

Checking my ram spec it is DDR3L so will need boot loader "board-h616.tanix_tx6s_lpddr3"

RAM: K4B4G0446D-BYK0 DDR3L-1600 (11-11-11)

I confident my SDCard image is ok and not the issue

I need to learn how to change boot loader

From what Im read and my Exp no need to press any button..its black because it correctly boot from sdcard but stuck. If it work sure display boot messages on screen then ask for new root password. You need to install serial console cable and give boot error that show there (Im using putty with serial) like my post (I include my sample b4) then from there if like mine its DRAM setting that mismatch.. then need original dtb or dts to seek info there, read this forum from Im ask. Yours may be easier as its original from Tanix where mine is clone

For My own problem with Openvfd I already seek further:

For Newer Kernel (v6.7 especially,forgot alr from which version seems v5) need to substract 1 from arthur config gpio_clk and gpio.dat

For Tanix H6 with fd650 controller like mine need add dtb mod for I2C, still dunno my box needed anot later try2

The one capable to convert GPIO setting from android to vfd.conf is on coreelec with nickname the_coolest but he didn't give the clue how to count it (I only knew sometimes its just simple hex to dec convert)

Still try to study more as I have time
