Wednesday at 02:06 PM4 days MX10 Mini H313 2GB DDR3: Debian SD bring-up, AC200 Ethernet, USB and 1080p HDMI TV Box Status Information Template Version 1.0 TV Box Name: MX10 Mini H313 2GB DDR3 CPU: Allwinner H313 (H616 family) Armbian build file name: MX10_H313_DDR3_2GB_Debian13_COMMUNITY_EXPERIMENTAL_20261028.img.gz (Custom Debian image using an Armbian kernel; not an official Armbian build.) DTB file used: mx10mini-test.dtb (Custom MX10 configuration; corresponding source: mx10mini-final.dts.) Kernel Version: 6.18.44-current-sunxi64 (Armbian kernel package 26.8.3) Distribution Installed: Debian 13 "trixie", arm64 Working Ethernet (Yes/No): Yes Max Ethernet Speed that works (100/1000): 100 Mbps, full duplex Does wifi work (Yes/No): No — internal XR819 does not enumerate as an SDIO device. Does bluetooth work (Yes/No): Unknown / not tested; Bluetooth hardware presence is unconfirmed. I repurposed an MX10 Mini TV box as a small Debian server. On this particular 2GB DDR3 unit, Debian 13 arm64 runs from microSD with AC200 Ethernet at 100Mbps/full duplex, both USB host ports and a working 1080p60 text console. The AXP305 and XR819 chip markings were identified visually. The board revision is not confirmed. The bootloader is U-Boot v2026.10 with board-specific DDR3 settings and TF-A v2.14.0. The kernel is the prebuilt Armbian 26.8.3 sunxi64 package, 6.18.44. Internal eMMC is disabled and has not been flashed. This is a custom Debian experiment, not an official Armbian image. Ethernet needed the AC200/EMAC1 topology and matching clock setup. USB1 needed its EHCI/OHCI nodes enabled. HDMI needed the matching display pipeline, a corrected plane-mapping reference and a startup helper for probe ordering; 1080p60 is confirmed, while the monitor's 3440x1440 mode did not work. A complete 1536MiB memtester loop passed. The CPU currently runs at a fixed 1.008GHz. XR819 WLAN is still unresolved: there is no SDIO ID. Software clock/reset sequence tests did not fix enumeration, and no electrical measurements were attempted. GPU acceleration and HDMI audio are untested. Report, final decompiled DTS, U-Boot configuration, helper scripts, manifest and experimental image candidate: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tPfPjrl_x4aLNK-DF10oyYWsT8UO6W_N/view?usp=sharing Important limits: the newly sanitized image and first-boot credential wizard have not received a hardware boot test. Only the development installation and its component configuration were tested. This applies to one DDR3 board, not every H313 box. The report records exact binary checksums, but the exact corresponding patched kernel source/build revision still needs locating; the later Armbian reference commit is not claimed to reproduce that binary. I would welcome review of the AC200 configuration and display probe ordering, and pointers to the matching kernel source/build record. The report includes the evidence and remaining limitations for anyone interested in an eventual maintained board profile. If you have any questions just ask --- I am happy if my little experiment is useful for somebody 4b468c48c4388cf3b3ce86f71b17035d25dafd3f7a76bb260ab9d37bee212288 MX10_H313_DDR3_2GB_Debian13_COMMUNITY_EXPERIMENTAL_20261028.img 5e130e2c4b8abb2ebc84da978b920096b20ec27a5ee55576b2b5a4870f6376d5 MX10_H313_DDR3_2GB_Debian13_COMMUNITY_EXPERIMENTAL_20261028.img.gz Best Regards Alex Edited Wednesday at 02:43 PM4 days by Alexander Turkowski
