Armbian for H313 X96-Q LPDDR3 TV-Box

[Frank White]

Hi Nick,

I was able to burn the following image to my SD card and it booted up perfectly.  I have version 5.1 of the board.  The only problem I noticed is neither the wifi nor ethernet port were working.  Any tips?

Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-ddr3-v5-1_noble_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz

Which wifi chip do you have? Can you upload your dmesg logs here?

[Frank White]

Here's my board.  I will get dmesg in a bit.  I guess it's the XR819 chip.

Can you extract your dts from your original android.

 

You directory structure might be different.

Everything seemed to work except sound.  Thanks for your help.  

My first impression is that while super cool, the hardware isn't up to the task of running a desktop OS.  I'm going to try out the server version and see how that does.

Off topic question but I don't suppose you could point me in the right direction to get openwrt installed on my device?

[Nick A]

Sorry I never played with openwrt on these boxes. 

 

I found this.. not sure how it works. But I see x96q-lpddr3.

Hi.
In October 2024, I wrote that I had a problem installing Armbian on eMMC of the tv box.

I managed to solve this problem. Here's what you need to do:
1. Download the image from the link - https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/download/20250306/Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-lpddr3-v1-3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz
2. Burn the image to microSD using Rufus or BalenaEtcher
3. Insert the microSD and turn on the tv box
4. Install Armbian
5. Next, launch the terminal and enter sequentially: armbian-install -> Boot from eMMC - system on eMMC -> ext4 (waiting ~5-10 minutes)
6. Turn off the tv box and extract the microSD
7. Turn on the tv box (Wi-Fi is not working)
8. Next, launch the terminal and enter sequentially: armbian-config -> System -> Kernel -> SY210 - Manage device tree overlays
9. Turn off the tv box (waiting ~5-10 minutes)
10. Turn on the tv box (Wi-Fi is working)

 

Special thanks to @Nick A
Good luck to all!!!

Good afternoon, I picked up the next X96Q. I was deceived, of course. But the price is not something that will upset me. Instead of the 2 and 16 written on the sticker, there are 1 and 8 inside. Otherwise, there is an extremely unsuspicious serial number. But here I come to another question, how realistic is it to launch Armbian on this?
