It shouldn’t take that long.. did you try booting without the sdcard?

I tried, nothing happens, it stays on a black screen. 😪

@rafaeldavid Try a different sdcard.

I tried, unfortunately the other one I have here at home doesn't recognize when I use it. To try another one, I'll have to buy a new one... =(

Hi,

 

I have an another version Box from H96 Max.
  https://www.h96tvbox.com/product/h96-max-h313-android-14-atv-tv-box/

Already install version X96Q V5.1 and almost worked except Wifi and Ethernet
Wifi chipset is AIC8800D40
 

What I need to do for enable wifi and Ethernet ? Do you have any suggestions 
 

[Nick A]

For Ethernet maybe this will fix your problem. 

 

The X98H also has the same wifi chip.

+&mmc1 {
+	vmmc-supply = <&reg_vcc3v3>;
+	bus-width = <4>;
+	non-removable;
+	max-frequency = <35000000>;
+	status = "okay";
+
+	wlan: wifi@1 {
+		reg = <1>;
+	};
+};

@Nick A

Thank you so much. I build with x98h version, both Ethernet and Wifi worked.
Wifi only has problem when use command "reboot", wlan0 is disappear. But if I unplug power and plug again, then wifi is work again.

Just checked in and am surprised this thread has gotten so much attention. Glad people have been able to use and modify the image as needed. Huge shoutout to @Nick A for all the support he's giving in here

 

[Nick A]

Glade to see you back @sicxnull. Thanks for the shoutout! Tried my best while you were gone. I don’t own one of these boxes. But I guess it doesn’t matter which one I get because theirs so many variations of the same box.

Hello, @sicxnull, Thanks for all your work on the H96X box.

I'm trying to install Armbian on my x96q V5.1, your image (Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q-v5-1_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img.xz) works great apart from I'd really like a server instead of desktop. I'm just wanting to use it for a VPN (Tailscale) exit node.

Would it be hard to build a server version? I have no Linux experience.

Hi everyone!
I have an MX10 F3 TV stick running Android for a specific purpose, but I believe it could be more efficient with Armbian.

I'm testing Nick's image Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-lpddr3-v1-3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz on a microSD. It works well, except for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — the chip is AIC8800.

I don’t know how to install the patch that has been shared. I also haven’t been able to make it work by installing the firmware and SDIO from https://github.com/geniuskidkanyi/aic8800

@Nick Aif you plan to release future versions, do you intend to include native support for the AIC8800 chip?
