Extracted dtb and dts files attached.

 

It boots Warpme/miniarch image for X96 with LPDDR3 RAM

However internal Ethernet port is silent. It can work through USB->ETH adapter though.

 

Any Idea on how to make Ethernet working?

to fix Ethernet you need to edit this file https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/blob/v20250306/patch/u-boot/u-boot-h616/159-add-x96-q-lpddr3-v1.3-defconfig.patch. Change 16 to 0. Then compile a new image.

Unfortunately boot stops at 'Starting kernel' . However LED inside is pulsing, so it may be possible that only console stream is corrupt.

 @Piotr s im using the same warpme patches so it’s odd that it doesn’t boot. To show more information on your console screen change your loglevel to 7 in armbianEnv.txt. The file is located at the root directory of your sdcard.
