"This DRAM setup is currently not supported."

[qwerty keyboard]

Preexisting builds of Armbian won't run on my X96Q TV box because mine uses DDR3 instead of LPDDR3.

 

U-Boot SPL 2024.01_armbian-2024.01-S866c-P4a40-H8869-Vad24-Bbf55-R448a (Nov 15 2025 - 02:36:36 +0000)
This DRAM setup is currently not supported.

How do I change the DRAM (and possibly other) configuration U-Boot is built with?

 

I'll be quite frank: Quite annoyed by this whole process. The build process for both Armbian and U-Boot has exhausted my patience and I'm very much not in the mood for digging through (often hard to find) documentation. (Like why is there no standard for adding a board?)

 

Here's the UART boot log of the device:x96q_boot_log.cap

 

Oh and I almost forgot! The stock firmware! https://archive.org/details/x96q_h313_mmcblk0.img.7z

 

Something about extracting "device trees" or something? Honestly I couldn't locate the copy of u-boot in there, but I'm probably doing something wrong there. I'm sure someone WAY smarter then me in this stuff could probably figure it out.
