balbes150 Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 ver 20201001 fix USB it would be interesting to check the work on Odroid C1.
nef Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Hi Balbes150! Thank you for your images! For now I can not use mine Odroid C1+ for testing, since it's running pi-hole and I'm dumping large website(it can take few weeks), but as soon it's ready, I will test new kernel. BTW - will it be compatible with LXC or Docker? Thanks again!

Juan Manuel Lopez Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I have mxiii with s812 and i used Armbian_20.09_Aml-s812_focal_current_5.9.0-rc7_desktop but at the start it start to change resolutinons on my tv and next the black screen telling that "resolution is not supported" message in tv. I changed resolution in uEnv.txt but allwais the same. But the start proccess is fine only it try other reslolutions and at the end, black screen. Anybody know how to suprime this tv resolution test or force some resolution? thanks
Diogo Silva Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 I have a Geniatech based Android TV Box with s812 and ap6330 wifi card, I tried LibreElec and used the MX III Plus dtb since it was the one that worked before on 3.10 kernel but on this one my Wifi wasn't working, the ethernet connected but had a weird IP and the internet itself wasn't working, I couldn't even connect to it using ssh, anything I can do to help and test I'm happy to. Thanks for your effort.
Luz Tc Remieuse Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Hello, excuse me, I wanted to know which image you recommend for my tv box, it is a netxeon M82G v2.1 s812 / 2g / 8g / AP6330, I leave uploaded images https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10SMNkB5N63DcNFCvQovb5LxlFNfDxMDo?usp=sharing

phuonglm Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 pull out my old MXQ 805 201d 512MB ram and try Armbian on it. 3.10.108 work fine for me until I put swap file to NAND and box heavily put data in/out swap ==> CPU soft reset. OK, next I try with image 20.9.buster_5.9rc no more NAND to test so but when I connect to serial port over usb start lock up ( after 30s ). If I terminate the serial over USB connection before blackout things back normal. Pretty sure problem related to kernel or hardware description/driver but not sure where to start.

mrkics Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 did you get it to work on that box (mxiii with 1 gb ram) ?? im on the same boat
AzuriAdore Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I have this old HTV3 that my family used to watch Asian channels. I didn't know what I could do with it and thank god it didn't end up in the trash. Latest Android version was 4.2... So I opened it up physically and found an Amlogic s805 inside with 1g of RAM, then downloaded Armbian for s812 (built by balbes150, thank you!) I used dtb: meson8b-ec100 LO AND BEHOLD IT WORKS WITH ARMBIAN NOW! I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES So if someone has that same HTV3 that I have, that's how it will work. So far only tested that it boots by sd card, usb keyboard works, and ethernet works. havn't tested other functionalities
Nel Panel Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Anyone managed to boot a Odroid C1+ wiht this image? Must I do anything beyond doing dd from img file to a sdcard?

Change the specified dtb file in the params to the according one.
dreamstrider Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Hi I have an MXIIIG 4K (2G,8G) Gigabit edition. All these years I moved from openelec to libreelec to the eMMC and until today I used only Armbian (Armbian_5.77_Aml-s812_Ubuntu_bionic_default_3.10.108_desktop_20190326.img) with an SD card (pi hole etc). I was looking for a way to transfer the Armbian Ubuntu OS to the eMMC to be faster and more reliable, but there was neither nand-sata-install command installed nor I could find the armbian config option to install to nand/emmc. So I was tinkering around looking for a way to do it and while I was using the gparted under root I did the mistake to delete and format the eMMC partition because I wanted armbian to recognize and mount it... So now the device is bricked (not booting from libreelec eMMC of course neither from Armbian Ubuntu SD card. Can someone help me restore it? Thank you in advance!

Filipe Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Hi folks, I managed to make my Wetek Core to work (thanks to @balbes150) with the latest Armbian_20.09_Aml-s812_focal_current_5.9.0-rc7_desktop.img.xz 20201002 image (with some issues). When booting, he tries the some resolutions (1080p60hz, 1080p30hz, 720p50hz) shows some noise and a few seconds later finally shows up the HDMI output. Great Internal wifi does't work (AP6330 chip) but with an external USB WIFI I was able to connect. However the desktop manager is really slow (xfce). It takes forever to open browser (firefox) or any other application. I'm using meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dtb. Not sure if there is other better with AP6330 and RLT8211F out there.

I've been trying to run both my Wetek Cores with Armbian with almost all previous releases and i gave up finally. All tryouts ended with color noise and stuck. Now i can back trying again. Could You say something about these "some issues" or share with some practical tips?
Filipe Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 @Junoxe Using the meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dtb I was only able to make CPU-0 to work (online) CPUs 1-3 are shown as offline. I was able to extract the dtb (m8m2_n200C_2G.dtb), with this tool (extract-dtb) from the original firmware but it doesn't work (not sure why). I also experiment converting dtb to dts from both meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dtb and m8m2_n200C_2G.dtb and modify them and convert back. I've copy the cpu section from m8m2_n200C_2G.dtb to meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dtb to test but it doesn't work as well. I'm not sure if that's the way of doing this anyway. Code I've used to convert: dtc -I dtb -O dts -f input.dtb -o output.dts Looking both dts files generated by dtc, their structure seems to be different. I didn't tested the wifi section yet but I'll give it a try later.
Junoxe Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 @Filipe Thank You for support. Could You share with dtb file You succesfully used? And in this post balbes shared with link to images, but i dont see there 20.09 builds, just 20.05. Is there any other place to download?
daniyo Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, I have a TVPAD 4 (also known as StarTV or BlueTV or M428 or M418) runs on a S805 and 1GB ram. Tried extracting the dtb from the recovery image of TWRP for this device and HDMI output doesn't work... I think the device does boot into armbian but can't confirm due to no display. https://mega.nz/#!geZQQY5K!ICzRX04vVkqIIX_o-N2YYXMryvM59NUtBdgD1dJaYOU can provide a full .img file or twrp backups. Also tried to extract dtb file from rooted android, but file doesn't exist in /root/dev/ any help is appreciated! thanks! Edited November 5, 2020 by daniyo

I was able to flush LibreElec-Wetek_core 8.2.5.img into main memory (replacing the system) and it looks great. It looks like some changes in uboot are required to make everything work in Armbian with Wetek Core not just a dtb problem. Maybe @balbes150 can help us with this part or point us to the right direction.
serkho Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Recently I've found a Tronsmart MXIII Plus (Netxeon M82G V2.0 S812/AP6330/2G/8G) in the attic and challenged myself with installing a proper linux onto it. Armbian_20.09_Aml-s812_buster_current_5.9.0-rc7 worked fine except Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. After some 10 days of tinkering I've discovered the forum contains enough information to solve the issue but it is scattered across different topics. Here is how I got wireless stuff working on PCB M82G_V1.0_20150324 Netxeon. 1. Get proper DTB. Either grab it here or build from source by placing the patch into userpatches/kernel/aml-s812-current: Spoiler diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts b/arch/arm/boot/dts/meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts index f35fb92e2978..4caa2061594c 100644 --- a/arch/arm/boot/dts/meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts +++ b/arch/arm/boot/dts/meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts @@ -42,25 +42,43 @@ eth_phy0: ethernet-phy@0 { }; }; +&sdhc { + status = "okay"; + + pinctrl-0 = <&sdxc_b_pins>; + pinctrl-names = "default"; + + bus-width = <4>; + max-frequency = <50000000>; + + no-mmc; + no-sdio; + cap-sd-highspeed; + disable-wp; + + cd-gpios = <&gpio CARD_6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; + + vmmc-supply = <&vcc_3v3>; + vqmmc-supply = <&vcc_3v3>; +}; + &sdio { status = "okay"; - pinctrl-0 = <&sd_b_pins>; + pinctrl-0 = <&sd_a_pins>; pinctrl-names = "default"; - /* SD card */ - sd_card_slot: slot@1 { + sdio_wireless_slot: slot@0 { compatible = "mmc-slot"; - reg = <1>; - status = "okay"; + reg = <0>; bus-width = <4>; - no-sdio; cap-mmc-highspeed; cap-sd-highspeed; + non-removable; disable-wp; - cd-gpios = <&gpio CARD_6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; + mmc-pwrseq = <&sdio_pwrseq>; vmmc-supply = <&vcc_3v3>; }; @@ -71,4 +89,9 @@ &uart_A { pinctrl-0 = <&uart_a1_pins>, <&uart_a1_cts_rts_pins>; pinctrl-names = "default"; uart-has-rtscts; + + bluetooth { + compatible = "brcm,bcm43438-bt"; + device-wakeup-gpios = <&gpio GPIOX_20 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; + }; }; 2.

daniyo Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Hi guys, managed to get the TVPad 4 working with a customized dtb I modified from the EC100 to enable all USB ports.

brajomobil Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Hi, I have old android box ATV1200 cpu AML8726-MX . In image: Armbian_20.06.0_Aml-s812_focal_current_5.8.0-rc2_20200626 there is dtb : meson6-atv1200.dtb Image not working, black screen. Don't have uart/ttl cable. Box is working with: LibreELEC-Amlogic_G02REF.arm-9.0-devel-20190106221300-df9076a.img but it has old kernel and Docker can't work on it. The box will be used only for Docker, nothing else. Can someone confirm the box can work with the above image. Searched the forum and can't find definite answer Thank you in advance, Best regards, brajomobil
