There is some info here: https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/01/19/orange-pi-3-allwinner-h6-sbc/?fbclid=IwAR13Cqw-SAvL7GbuP70XxVW_38oOSVRPF4tnkoS9dRdbMHS7v_LNlY7c-d4 It is said something about problems with driver for the PCIe extension, any thoughts about that?

I think the question is more correct to ask in the main branch of armbian. But H6 still has very basic support. http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort BSP kernel it's junk in most case) and not for end user.

In this thread the info about the images for Amlogic. Plis Specify where was the information about DTB for OrangPi ?

I see, excuse my ignorance, I'm not familiar with the OrangePi's but consider buying one. I just saw a dtb for those in an earlier image, can't remember which or when.
kenand Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Hi, I have Tronsmart s95 Vega pro 1GB box, I would like to use with armbian. Armbian_5.71_Aml-s9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.20.2_20190118.img. I can not boot with tronsmart vega s95 pro dtb. I did not see choice for 1GB or 2GB dtb. How can I taht set this is 1GB TV Box?

Turgus Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I tested 20190118-NEXT-Ubuntu-Desktop some hours from card and installed it via armbian-config successfully onto eMMC now. Works as expected pretty good with USB-Sound(hence I got no speakers on Monitor to provide HDMI-sound) and Ethernet LAN on 2/16GB x96mini. The system is responsive and runs smooth. Also start-up seems faster compared to older builds. @balbes150: After install I found the 20190122 images with kernel 4.20.2. What is new/changed in these builds?! As everything works pretty good on 5.0.0-rc2 for me, I'm not sure if I should downgrade kernel with newer version of image?!

amirul Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 @balbes150: I see 20190122 now have separate s905 and s912 images. Is there a list of differences between the two?

Yes, from now on images for S905 and S912 will be released separately. So far, there are almost no differences between them. The only difference is the default DTB. Now in the images S912 specified a dtb to the VIM2 and you can try to run the image to S912. This is preparing to move to HW support. s905 and s912 use different variants of HW LIMA or PANFROST.

Problem with usb fixed by using powered hdd docking. Great job :-)
Reddwarf Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 So I'v tested the 5.71 RC2 and RC3 images (desktop versions) on my 905 devices (MiniMxIII and MiniM8S). The Ubuntu variant RC2 runs well on both devices, unfortunately there is no sound, no BT and no ethernet. WiFi works fine thou. The Debian variant does not boot from SDCard since it claims it has no support for the cards voltage. It boots from an USB stick and behaves the same as Ubuntu. The RC3 does not boot at all, just showing me the flashscreen. I have used the p200 dtb. Edit: And yes, I have installed the new boot (aml-autoscript).

This is exactly what I am trying to achieve.

dieg0 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Great work balbes150, currently using 4.20.2 5.71 S912 and I work everything except the BT in a Qintaix Q912 3G, with an external BT solved. With the 5.0 kernel I did not activate the Swap and therefore not the Zram, I realized by modifying it to activate it for the 8 cores and upload the values to 75 = 1.5 g of ram. I repeat great job balbes150. PS: I found this regarding panfrost HERE
Reddwarf Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 3 hours ago, balbes150 said: Try all variants of DTB p200 and p201 Ok, I'v done some more testing with the 905 devices and also with my MXQ Pro+ 4k (S905x): Beelink MiniMxIII and Mini M8s: Kernel 5 RC2 Ubuntu runs but without BT, sound and ethernet, WiFi works. Using dtb p200 or 201 makes no difference. Debian variant does not boot. RC3 does not boot with dtb p200 and p201, however it does boot with OdroidC2 dtb, but now only ethernet works, no BT, no sound and no WiFi. MXQ Pro+ 4k (905x) using p212 dtb: Kernel 5 RC2 Ubuntu works same as for the 905 devices. Debian does not boot. RC3 does boot, ethernet works, no BT, no sound and no WiFi. Over all, kernel 5 images is very quick and responsive, video plays smooth and fine on all my devices. If I connect an external USB soundcard I get sound, have no BT dongle to test with at the moment.

Are you correct ? If there is no system boot then nothing can work.

Turgus Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 ..after a quick check on card I installed Armbian_5.71_Aml-s905_Ubuntu_bionic_next_5.0.0-rc3-desktop onto eMMC. Works like a charm so far on x96mini 2/16G. If there will be a release with k 5 in 5.72 versions, I'll test it too..
jeanrhum Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 I can also confirm that a Beelink MiniMX (s905 1/8GB) is working well with 5.71 debian stretch 4.20.2. I just had to modify the uEnv.ini to set the gxbb-p200.dtb and even wifi works. I use the desktop version to test all features, but with only 1GB of ram, it seems better to use it as a server. The video test file plays well in windowed mode and it seems viewable in fullscreen but there are some frame dropped. I'm not able to test sound since my lcd screen has no audio output and there is such output on that box.

The Ubuntu image starts to boot but never finish due to it cannot initialize the SD card since it has no support for the cards voltage. It boots fine from an usb-stick, but same result as for the Debian image. Edit: Using dtb p201 makes no difference.
gameseg Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Incredibly slow eth0 connection: 6.5Mbps down and 14Mbps upload. Cable and equipment work great for all other devices. How do I fix? EDIT 1/25/19: if I have not copied over to eMMC yet, could this keep my download speed so low at 6.5Mbps? My other devices get 125+Mbps. Also: I attempted to backup to sdcard and at roughly 3GB copied, the desktop screen froze saying 16kb speed backup and it no longer updated the progress. So because I wasn't able to backup successfully, I decided not to transfer to eMMC yet. I will try booting up from a USB today to see if a backup becomes successful. I've been using a 32GB Samsung UHC1 class 10 card but maybe that's the issue idk. s905x - installed "Armbian_5.71_Aml-s905_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.20.2_desktop_20190122" with "...nexbox a95x.dtb" armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/lzas Edited January 25, 2019 by gameseg armbianmonitor log, eMMC comments
amirul Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Armbian_5.72_Aml-s912_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.20.2_desktop_20190124 Boots to desktop. eth0 up no wifi no bluetooth Desktop still smooth :-) Thanks @balbes150
Reddwarf Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I wonder why it is so hard to get the BT support working, the Android images does not seem to have such problems and it is built on a Linux kernel.....
