Unable to run Armbian on X96Q Tv box (Allwinner sun50iw9 2GiB RAM)

[George Zhavoronkov]

I tried to write different images from the h6 family, for example: Arabian_23.11.0_allwinner_tanix-tx6_bullseye_5.136_server_2023.10.20.img to my SD and USB drive, however, this does not work.
If you install the SD card and turn it on, then the red LED lights up on the device and that's it.
The device simply ignores the USB flash drive and loads android. What could be the problem?

sun50iw9 is H616

sun50iw6 is H6

 

Try images made for H616 rather than H6 since they are incompatible.

Ty. I tried again to start from all drives, but this time Armbian_23.11.0-trunk.238_Orangepizero2_lunar_current_6.1.57.
The result is the same. SD card - red LED and no SSH/video. USB ignores and loads android.

But no. There are differences. Now there is output on UART:
 

U-Boot SPL 2023.10-armbian (Oct 14 2023 - 01:14:07 +0000)
DRAM:This DRAM setup is currently not supported.

resetting ...

Any ideas how to fix it?
