Starting from version 5.71 , you don't need to change anything in the image after recording to run on MX10. All settings and the DTB file are already there.

I opened the case of my MX10. It is the chip SSV6051. Perhaps in other options can be used another version of. Or people run the firmware (system) from MX10 on other models, such as the A5X max, which differ only in the WiFi chip.

New version 5.71 with kernel 5.0.0-rc2. Works in SERVER mode (text console). Until not start X11,  need to understand. Works USB, LAN on both models MVR9 (1000Mb LAN) MX10 (100Mb LAN).

My box always hang when I connect USB3 drive enclosure (SSD). The system hang randomly, sometimes after 10min, some other time 1 hour. The enclosure use JSM567 chip and has no external power source. It work fine with other computer; Win 10 desktop, Odroid C1 running Armbian (5V 2A PSU). I've tried to disable UAS, use USB2 port... but the result is still the same.  I want to use the box for samba file server, I can share file from micro SD card and run overnight without problem. Can you guy tell me where should I look at?

Perhaps in the absence of activity, the external drive goes into hibernation and the USB port does not recognize it. You can try to view the DTB settings and the USB port management settings (do not use power saving).

Thank you, but that will have to wait for testing. My emmc has corrupted out of sudden, it's still boot and run fine form sdcard though.

Version 5.72 update 20190123 (kernel 4.4 and 5.0).
On SERVER NEXT images (with kernel 5.0), support for DTB for MX10 has been added, and the system can be managed via SSH.

Boots to desktop with rk3328_evb.dtb but max cpu freq only 1.30GHz

with rk3328_evb.dtb taken from 4.4.167 image and MAX_SPEED=1512000 in /etc/default/cpufrequtils, can reach 1.51Ghz

Further testing ongoing...

Interesting result!  On my A5X max with max 1296 Mhz, I see 330 MB/s normally in desktop mode, but under VNC I see 410 MB/s . Maybe the difference is due to the rate of frequency rampup from 600 Mhz to 1296 Mhz.  I am using the default MX10 dtb on a 4.4.154 kernel.

Yes indeed. I don't think it is the rampup because when I cpufreq-set to fix at 1.51Ghz I still get the same result. I am looking for ways to make the desktop as fluid as on the S912 and memory speed is perhaps the answer. The media testing script didn't do it for me.

might be better at testing/comparing memory performance of the two boxes.

Perhaps, but I'm not up to cross-compiling and stuff. :-)

Another test:

sysbench memory --memory-block-size=1M --memory-total-size=10G run

s912: 3321.93 MiB/sec

rk3328: 2109.60 MiB/sec

Dont need to cross-compile. Just download and make

 

Hmm, I notice that if I reduce the screen resolution of the desktop, the performance moves up. Maybe GPU is eating into CPU RAM?

An interesting comparison at

s912 does appear to be the winner. Maybe when we get a desktop in the 5.0 kernel things will improve?

 Many thanks @balbes150 for your work, I tried many version whithout success with my tv box H96 Max plus.

 

Now I extract dtb from Android (thanks @CarlosPiles for tips), how can I compile a dtb compatible with armbian?

You need to add your DTS to the kernel sources and build a new DTB using the Armbian kernel sources.

Here's what I have:

mmcblk1      179:0    0 29.8G  0 disk
├─mmcblk1p1  179:1    0  128M  0 part /boot
└─mmcblk1p2  179:2    0 29.4G  0 part /
mmcblk0      179:32   0 29.1G  0 disk
mmcblk0boot0 179:64   0    4M  1 disk
mmcblk0boot1 179:96   0    4M  1 disk
mmcblk0rpmb  179:128  0    4M  0 disk

 

Here's what I want to do:

1. use dd to copy mmcblk1p2 to mmcblk0

2. change label of mmcblk1p2 to something other than ROOTFS

3. reboot

/ should be running off mmcblk0 now.

 

What do you guys think?

You can't copy a single partition into a whole device without partition table ...

Using " dd " to copy a system is a bad decision. This utility is intended for other purposes, but many began to use it incorrectly. And then get problems from such actions. You've seen somewhere, what would the system from the Live CD transferred to HDD utility "dd" ? To do this, use a special installation procedure that uses special steps to create a file system, specially designed for this utilities.
