@Lesano https://linux-sunxi.org/Tanix_TX1 shouldn’t be hard to make a armbian config for this board since it's mainlined. You probably want this patch to add wifi and hdmi.

You would need to boot over USB cable. I never booted over USB so I can't help with that.

Hello,

I'm also interested in finding an image and getting feedback on Tanix TX1 QHZIW_H313_TX1_EMCP_V2.0. I bought this cheap box on Temu for 15 USD (2GB/16GB)

 

I tried with USB drive and BalenaEtcher several images, without success (trying to boot on it, with tootpick on button) :

 

• 🔴 Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_X96q-v1-3_bookworm_current_6.12.64_minimal.img.xz
• 🔴 Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img.xz
• 🔴 Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_X96q-v5-1_bookworm_current_6.12.64_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz

Based on my other experiences, this box, although close to x96q, is different. With X96Q, you just have to use SD card and boot was succesful. However, here, nothing is working.

Looking for other's experience and advice.

Use a toothpick or any other non-conductive stick to push the button inside the A/V connector when powering up the box. Connect a USB-A/USB-A cable to the only USB port and a host PC.

Hello Nick,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to do this with a basic USB A to C cable, with an adapter on the USB-C part to have a USB male. The TX1 started (LED lit up) but no detection of the TX1 as USB device on my machine

I'm using a Macbook M1 with Debian Linux VM to detect this. And the TX1 is never detected as USB OTG.

@billymore I was able to detect my transpeed box using the toothpick trick.  

Here are some links that might help figure it out.  Maybe even going on irc and asking the sunxi guys.
