x96q h313

[Blackenz]

@Nick A using the @rafman image that he previously posted (Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q-v5-1_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img.xz), on the same card, the tv box boots from the sdcard just fine.

I am assuming that the image that is being generated by the compile.sh script from the oficial repo, has some kind of problem.

 

Anyway, i will try pushing the button on the AV port, with my image, just to eliminate that possibility.

 

Thanks

Try building an image using sicXnull's branch.

git clone https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build.git --branch X96Q-5.1-DDR3 --single-branch 

 

Patch directory is.

patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/board_x96q-v5-1

 

He also has a branch called "X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3"

Hi @Nick A,

 

So i just happened to do exactly that.

I used sicXnull's branch and tvbox is finally booting from the sdcard, running my custom image.

Didn't have to apply your patch.

 

Any thoughts on merging @sicxnull branch into armbian official codebase?

 

Thanks for your help

I'm busy with another build but If anyone wants to send a PR? I don't think sicxnull would mind. A lot of the source comes from Warpme's Minimyth2 patches.

Sicxnull already sent a PR for "X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3" branch back in august.

https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/7101

 

Clone the Official Armbian build then add Sicxnull/Warpme changes. Send a PR.

If anyone wants to test my Armbian unofficial build using the latest Armbian 25.05.0 build, Kernel 6.12.11 and miniarch patches. I compiled all 4 versions of X96Q. If you need secure boot or desktop build let know. This is a work in progress so I might be updating the build often.

Hi @Nick A!

I will test it for sure.

 

On another subject, i found my dmesg filled with these messages: 

These happen on sub second as you may notice.

I am worried that this issue will eventually kill my EMMC...

 

Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Hi, I would be grateful for assembling armbian desktop ubuntu xfce. Thanks

[Nick A]

Hi @lynya5 Can you test the server images and let me know which version works for you. 

 

Edit:

Never mind.. I had time so I compiled ubuntu xfce for all 4 x96q versions.

 

 

Remember you have a custom kernel. You need to block kernel updates with the armbian config tool.

Hi Nick A. Thank you very much for building xfce. I will test it and write back later. Thanks
