Efforts to develop firmware for H96 MAX M9 RK3576 TV Box 8G/128G

[a.ni]

Hi all,

I was able to make my H96 MAX M9S running on armbian (beta) Linux 6.19.0-rc8-edge-rockchip64.

 

Using:
- armbian u-boot, installed by armbian-config
- root fs on emmc

 

Working:
- both USB ports
- HDMI (audio+video)
- Ethernet port
- Wifi using aic8800 DKMS drivers provided by https://github.com/radxa-pkg/aic8800/releases
- Leds

 

Not working:
- GPU/NPU
- Bluetooth
- any HW acceleration
- many other things as in attached dmesg

 

Known issues:
- no USB port is working in usb3 mode (5000M)
- missing hci port for Bluetooth
- driver aic8800_btlpm_sdio hast to be loaded manually 
- other as in attached dmesg

Attached you can find:
- my working dts for armbian Linux 6.19.0-rc8-edge-rockchip64
- my original dts extracted from the box
- dmesg

 

Hope some will be able to help with other things
