TVBOX M4xq with ik316 EMCP 1.0

javaxsousa · August 25, 2023

I have this tvbox model as per the attached photos. I tried to run the image: Armbian_23.5.2_Orangepizero2_bookworm_current_6.1.30
but the error appeared: 
U-Boot SPL 2021.04 (May 25 2023 - 13:06:08 +0200)
DRAM:This DRAM setup is currently not supported.

I was able to extract the dtb files along with the  boot.img and bootloader.img. but I'm 
sending the files that I dumped. The link is below because I couldn't 
attach it here.from this tvbox. can anybody help me?

well, after many attempts I managed to boot Armbian on the TVbox with emcp chip, you really have to change the parameters in defconfig and recompile to generate ou-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin,but the internal network card still doesn't work from the ik316 which is the same h616 used network usb and the HDMI output doesn't work.
The latest version of Armbian: Armbian_23.8.3_Orangepizero2_b gives error after u-boot:
starting systemd-udevd version 252.12-1~deb12u1
[    2.600465] thermal thermal_zone0: gpu-thermal: critical temperature reached, shutting down
[    2.608985] reboot: HARDWARE PROTECTION shutdown (Temperature too high)

I used the version Armbian 22.08.6 Jammy with bleeding edge Linux 5.19.16-sunxi64 and with modified spl.bin

@javaxsousa I would suggest to share your uboot defconfig changes so that it will be helpful for others as well

You didn't mention what was the kernel you used that gave you the issue. The error message is simply stating that your gpu overheated and hence the system is shutting down. May be your dtb needs some adjustment to make proper use of thermal subsystem and frequency scaling for gpu.

i used kernel: Linux version 5.19.16-sunxi64 with Armbian_22.08.7_Orangepizero2_jammy_edge_5.19.16.img, this version works but HDMI ,network and audio not work

Hello! @javaxsousa Could you please share the image you manage to boot with your TV Box? I have an IK316-EMCP_V4.1 and I've tried several images and none of them seem to work.

I'd like to to try the one you built since the hardware seem to be quite similar.

Thank you in advance!

javaxsousa · November 1, 2023

@andre2b sorry my delay of answer this question , but I used image from armbian but I compile u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin and make this command:

dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/yourcard bs=1k seek=8 conv=fsync on sd card with armbian installed.

I attached a copy of u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin here, try it and see if it works

I didn't send the complete image because I still haven't been able to recompile it with the complete Armbian.

u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

Thanks for the reply @javaxsousa, but unfortunately it didn´t work.

I Downloaded the image from https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/orangepizero2/archive/Armbian_22.08.7_Orangepizero2_jammy_edge_5.19.16.img.xz , burned it to the sd card and run your command but I still have a blank screen

I'll keep checking the forum for any progress you or some one else makes, and if I can make it work I'll also leave a message.

Thanks

@andre2b

From what I could see, your TV box does not have the EMC chip, so I suggest testing with other images, because despite showing Ik316, the chip is actually an H313/H616.
Test is below too

Matheus Gomes · December 11, 2023

@andre2b all good? I have the same board you have (IK316-EMCP_V4.1), and I'm having problems installing Arbian on it. Did you get more information about this chip?

buratino · December 24, 2023

@javaxsousa Can you share the config file of the U-boot?

javaxsousa · January 30

@buratino sorry my delay of answer this question, but above i put my config, i used "u-boot-2021.07" version

IK316-EMCP_defconfig.txt

@Matheus Gomes the chip Ik316 is the same H616/H313

I get this error:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'dts/upstream/src/arm64/allwinner/sun50i-h616-tanix-tx6s.dtb', needed by 'dtbs'.  Stop.

Where can I get this file sun50i-h616-tanix-tx6s.dts? I use the sources from the official repository u-boot.

Try this MiniArch image.. if it boots then you can copy over the dts from MiniArch to Armbian.

Thank you, but these are patches. DTS file I can't find there.

Nick A · November 28

It's there. You just need to remove the "+".

I used this shell script command. Editing it by hand would take forever. This removes the first character on each line.
