funben Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 I successfully installed jeedom, so now I would like to put armbian on the eMMC. To do that I follow the process from @balbes150 on the first page of this post. First step is : 1. Be sure to activate multi-boot using the new image. If multiboot previously activated is required to repeat activation using files in a new image. On the first post it says : Info multiboot : https://sourceforge.net/p/amlogic-s9xxx/code/ci/master/tree/ I'm not sure which instruction to follow. Also I don't have the create-mbr-linux.sh in the boot directory So I'm lost here, thank for you help.

My SD card is class10 Sandisk type used in Digital camera and my USB pendrive is sandisk cruiser. any help to enable onboard Wifi and Bluetooth Please?
funben Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 @ashok have you tried other DTB from your group (gxm). You probably should try them all, and see if there is one that enable wifi.

Yes I have tried with all (gxm) DTBs. meson-gxm-nexbox-a1.dtb and meson-gxm-rbox-pro.dtb never allow the box to boot. this is the device for information. I even tried with some gxbb DTBs, some allowed to boot the box but no wifi and Blue tooth. If any one using this box and successfully used Wifi and Bluetooth of this device please educate me with some "How Tos" Thanks in advance.

funben Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Ok thanks for your answer, however I've read this carefully, You said : 1. Be sure to activate multi-boot using the new image. If multiboot previously activated is required to repeat activation using files in a new image. I've no idea, how to do that, despite the fact that I tried to read and execute your instruction carefully.

Mishanstvo Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Hi, which .dtb file is suitable for A95X F2? Edited October 2, 2019 by Mishanstvo
funben Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 To install Armbian on eMMC, I used "Install" from "Armbian configuration utility" And when reboorting, it appears that my Beelink Mini MXIII box is really bricked. I tried to boot "normally" and with Armbian sd card inserted with paperclip on reset button. I tried to reinstall stock firmware using usb burning tool, the burn process is successful but when rebooting the screen stay black (no signal) What should I do from here ?

By the way i am using Meson-gxm-q201.dtb. if this helps. Hi An update. I opened my TV Box. It says it is an S912M and have Fn-Link 8223A-SR chip. By looking at the manual it says it has dual 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wifi and Bluetooth 4.2. WIFI is on SDIO V3.0 and BT on UART/PCM Android detects wifi as BRCM and Armbian detects as Atheros. Can any one here say which is correct? and can any one help me to bring WIFI active on this device? @balbes150 can you please put your opinion here?

Took a while to clean that mess up, but it runs mighty fine on my x96 Mini now. Should be said that after a conversation with @KY69 it is most likely the fault of an SELinux policy on the official firmware of the x96 mini when running the updater, and not to blame on the image Oleg provided. Thank you to both of you!

qstaq Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 @ashok When booted into Armbian what is the output of: dmesg | grep -i firmware lsmod | grep 80211 WiFi is a mess on a lot of the TV boxes I have played with and for a lot of devices its just not worth the effort. Even when it works, it usually doesn't. Also the armbian-firmware package seems to have some of the firmware blobs in the wrong locations for devices that use brcm blobs

I'm not going to waste my time on all the shit that manufacturers shove in their crafts (just to write on them - WiFi available). Want to have WiFi, you have several options. 1. Use normal equipment where there is guaranteed WiFi support. 2. Use external USB WiFi with good support. 3. Themselves add the necessary support for your WiFi. 4. You seek from the seller\manufacturer of your equipment the necessary support. 3

In my opinion, what he's doing is absolutely great. Maybe it's easy to forget @balbes150 is doing this for free, and maybe we don't know how many hours he's spending on doing this (I bet some of them, everyday). Thank you, Mr. @balbes150: I think you should be paid by ATVs manufacturers, because, thanks to your work, and only in my case, they have sold 3 Amlogic ATVs (to me); and I had never bought them because of Android: It's your Armbian, the reason To be sincere, I'm happier with my ATV boxes, running @balbes150 Armbian, than I am with my Raspberrys, covered by tons of dust in this very moment. 3

Well if you can use an external WiFi dongle then you DO support WiFi

Around 2 decades ago I was involved in Device driver development for Solaris and Linux. I left those low level work a decade ago in 2009. Now my brain doesn't support or permit thinking after health issues last year But Yes using USB i can access internet no probs there. But I have a defect in my Brain "to make everything perfect" which is just impossible. So caryon with your good work please. I will find a way sooner or latter for the Wifi and BT. thank you.
balbes150 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 New image 5.98 20191008 I sent a request to update the AML-g12 kernel (5.3.0) for AML images to a network repository. Pay attention. This kernel and the following aml-g12 images change the location of DTB files. They are now located at (/boot/dtb/amlogic). The composition of "deb" packages with the kernel has also changed. I now use one "image" package for all files (the DTB package has been abolished and is no longer used). For anyone who will update the kernel using the new kernel package, be SURE, after installing the package and BEFORE rebooting, to edit the files (uEnv.ini, extlinux.conf and boot.ini), add the "amlogic" subdirectory to the DTB setup line. The string must look like (/dtb/amlogic/filename.dtb). This information applies to all new images that will be released from now on. 1
qstaq Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 @ashok are you sure you have the xplay Q? The ath10k module shouldn't be able to load on that device. It's common with TV boxes to find completely different hardware inside devices with the same name which is partly what makes them impossible to support. What DTB are you using? Can you post an: armbianmonitor -u
GBTX Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Hi Everyone! I have a TV BOX A95X F2 and i use armbian provided by @balbes150 and work wonderful with dtb meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb, thanks for hard work :). But i have a problem.. i change my monitor to a LG Ultrawide 29" 2560x1080 21:9, but the linux dont recognize that resolution, work only with Full HD 1920x1080@75. I try force the resolution with xrandr, but not work too and the linux show the monitor is a 34" 1080p 16:9. I doubt if the drivers do not support that resolution or i cant do work properly. If anyone can help.. thanks

ashok Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Hi all, I have copied the /proc/device-tree from my TV Box to my linux PC. While compiling to DTS it gives several warning messages. here is the output. can any one please help how to rectify the warnings.
t23 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Can anyone with 5.98 and HDMI audio please do this: "speaker-test -c 2" On both my x96 mini and KM8P the channels are reversed. Please tell me its not my head, haha.
NicoD Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 @balbes150 Hi. I'm back on the VIM3 for now. I'm unable to select 1440p display resolution. 4k works, and 1080p also. But there's no 1440p to choose from. When I add the resolution manually it doesn't seem to work. xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00" 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync && xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 2560x1440_60.00 It's the same with DEV and DEFAULT images. Except for this and HDMI-audio everything seems to work fine. Temperature is now also showing. Good job. Thank you.
