Lucil Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm trying to get something beyond Android on a Jide Remix Mini. Originally sold as an "Android PC", it's now unsupported by manufacturer. The configuration is not bad: Allwinner A64 SOC and my unit has 2GB of RAM and 16 GB eMMC. Unfortunately, linux-sunxi lists it as (yet) unsupported. I'm not that knowledgeable with image building, so any help would be appreciated.

According to this link, it seems that this box is only booting in "secure" mode, therefore none of the current Armbian image will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was thinking of adapting a solution based on Quote Normally Remix Mini boots from the internal 8/16 GiB eMMC. If an SD card with a valid TOC0 header is present, this will take precedence and the BROM will load code from there. FEL mode is another way to access the device: to trigger FEL mode, there is a button accessible via the pin-hole, located between the SD card slot and the audio jack. A somewhat special USB cable (A male to A male) is needed to connect the upper USB host receptacle to your desktop PC, which is running the sunxi-fel tool. Instead of pressing the button it is possible to have a TOC0 based bootable SD card image, which switches the device into FEL mode: ... and the rest of the explanation on sunxi website.

This would be a good always-on low power linux server. I tried with UserLAnd, but results are not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
