Armbian for H313 X96-Q LPDDR3 TV-Box

Your tv stick probably has secure boot enabled. You can compile a secure boot image using these steps.

Nice! I'll try that. Thank you for your help so far. Finding the right documentation has been a little tricky for me and I really appreciate the help.

Alright, I built the x96q-lpddr3 image using the patches suggested. It booted (partially). Nothing on the screen, but it is starting!
I chose that image because it is H313 and lpddr3 (the android uboot build that worked before detected it as such)
I attached the serial log. It's getting late here and I may not get much more done on this until Monday, but this is a good sign in my opinion.

H313/H616/H618 are pretty much the same SOC. It’s the AXP power management IC that’s different. Also RAM and WIFi chips are usually different.

Cool, good to know. I'll try one with the same AXP and go from there.

Hmm, according to the config, the X96q lpddr3 uses the AXP313 already. Maybe ram is wrong? Pretty sure it's lpddr3, if there is any way to check that, I can. Gonna do a little digging in android.

According to Android uboot, DRAM_VCC= 1200mv
DRAM CLK =648 MHZ
DRAM TYPE=7 (lpddr3)
DRAM SIZE =1536 MBytes, para1 = 30fa, para2 = 6001000, dram_tpr13 = 26061
gonna try some of this in the x96q image, see what happens

Hmm, in boot log I see AXP1530 mentioned in theandroid boot (booted off the sd card, not emmc). I attached the log.

I set the dram speed to 648, no difference. Gotta be the axp or another option.
