Allwinner CPU Boxes

Hi everyone, I've got a Q+ device which comes with a "RTL8821CS" wifi/bt module. This device is similar to Tanix TX6 with only a different wifi module. I was trying to make this module work in Armbian. The initial problem was this error : [ 4.233422] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: no support for card's volts [ 4.233431] mmc1: error -22 whilst initialising SDIO card So I started investigating and tested different variables inside device tree but nothing worked. Then I decided to compile the kernel again with dynamic debug enabled and then tried to find out what is causing the above error. After some tries, I enabled dyndbg on boot for specifi…

I ask for help if anyone has information about the image on the x96q TV set-top box, thank you in advance.

Good afternoon. I need a little help here. I managed to compile a working version for this board. However, it does not recognize the internal disk, which in this case is a nand. I used this repo: https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build.git Branch: X96Q-5.1-DDR3 Could someone help me?

Hello community, I am looking for help to boot Armbian on a generic TV Box sold as "MXQ Pro 4K 5G".

Hello, I have this kind of box: https://onpad.ru/catalog/cubie/wintel/2565.html (Allwinner H6, 1G LPDDR3, 8G eMMC Flash).

Hi everyone, I have a Multilaser tablet with the Allwinner A50 chip and I wanted to compile a DTB file for it, so I could boot Armbian, but I haven't found anything on the internet about PIN MAP or anyone who has worked with this chip. Also, it already has an unlocked bootloader. I really wanted to do a project with this tablet, as I'm a student at the Federal Institute and it would be a great project!

see http://www.cnx-software.com/2017/04/28/24-sunvell-r69-android-4-4-tv-box-is-powered-by-allwinner-h2-processor/ This device boots from uSD with Ubuntu desktop – legacy kernel 5.30 for OrangePi One and RetrOrangePi-3.0.1.Orangepione.img. It didn't boot after initial setting and reboot command/automatic reboot (I don't know why yet, but it should boot and resize fs). It looks it somehow breaks filesystem on uSD card (and I don't have different uSD card to test it). Ethernet works out of box. Some guy in Facebook group RetrOrangePi confirmed RetrOrangePi for OrangePi One works.

I'm looking for firmware for this MXQ 5G PLUS 4K TV box. I wanted the Armbian version but I can't find it. If anyone has it, please send it to me.

I'm doing some testing setting up a pair of T95 max's (TV boxes with Inovato Quadra Debian and Allwinner H6 CPU's) as observatory controllers for astronomy. One step that I've not got past yet is getting a VNC server running on the build. Is anyone aware of a set of instructions for installing/building a VNC server which should work with this setup I use realvnc on Raspberry pi's and have tried installing it, tightvnc and building tiger vnc so far with issues which I've not got past yet.

I have two of these cheap Chinese sticks and I was wondering if I could load a better OS onto them I think there's only a USB port

I would like to control the TV via my box (T95 mini - powered by an H6) runing on Armbian. I installed both cec-utils (for cec-client) and v4l-utils (for cec-ctl) but neither seem to work. Did anyone manage to use the CEC protocol on an H6 box ?

Hi Armbian community, I'm trying to install Armbian on my Worldchip K16 tablet and would appreciate guidance on compatibility and installation steps. Device Specifications: · Model: Worldchip K16 · SoC: Allwinner sun50iw10p1 (likely A64/H5 variant) · CPU: Quad-core Cortex-A53 (ARMv8 64-bit) · Current OS: Android 11 · Architecture: aarch64 (ARMv8l) · GPU: Mali-400MP2 (typical for this SoC) · RAM: Unknown (estimated 2-4GB based on similar devices) · Storage: Unknown (likely 32-64GB eMMC)

I would like to know if anyone has had the opportunity to try the new Tanix TX1. The dimensions are really small, only 58mm x 58mm x 25mm and it only has 1 USB port in addition to the HDMI port and the classic power jack. I know there are no Armbian images for H313 soc yet, too bad. This small TV box could be interesting for creating small servers connected exclusively via WiFi. Button 1 is the flash button, while button 2 is used to enter recovery mode. I tried images for H313 miniarch and others for H616 but I can't boot in any way. I'm using a USB stick obviously without using a USB hub but only the USB stick and for now only Android starts.

Hey i am looking for a suitable armbian distro for my tv box with the allwinner h313, 2gb ram and 8bg emmc.

I never did get hw accelerated video decoding working under mpv on my T95 max (H6) so I'm wondering if I might have any more luck with this: https://github.com/aodzip/cedar Has anyone tried this driver? Does it work with mpv?

Hello armbian accomplices, I though I would share my little journey about getting this tablet rooted with magisk so that hopefully one day armbian could run on it.

I have been waiting for half a year for this problem to be resolved, but unfortunately in vain. That’s why I offer to pay for your work to whoever solves it for me (we agree). The brief: I have a T95 mini TV box, what is working well with any balbes150 image. However, none of the audio channels work. This is a problem because I want to use the stuff for internet radio. The task: Create a modified image that I can use with the tablet's 3.5 jack analog output.

I am trying to boot Armbian Linux on my budget X96Q Pro TV Box, but I have not been able to successfully boot into Linux even once. I am stuck and need some expert guidance on how to get this board to accept a Linux image. The Problem The Physical Reset Button is Broken: The recovery button inside the AV port does not work at all. It does not feel like it's clicking, and holding it while powering on does absolutely nothing.

Hi, I wanted to share what I did to get a recent Armbian build working reliably on my Tanix TX6 (Allwinner H6), in case it helps other users or developers. My TX6 would not boot the recent Armbian image normally. The image I was testing was based on Debian 13 Trixie with: Linux 6.18.50-current-sunxi64 The Linux/rootfs part itself was usable, but the board would not boot correctly with the boot chain included in the recent image. 1. Getting the recent image to boot What finally worked was creating a hybrid image. I kept the recent Armbian Linux partition/root filesystem unchanged, but replaced the low-level boot components with those…

Hello, sorry for my poor English 😁. Recently, I bought an Android TV box TX3-Mini to install Armbian. Unfortunately, when I checked it, I found that my TX3-Mini is using the Allwinner H313 processor. I am not sure if I can install and use Armbian on my Android TV box. If it's possible, could you please let me know which images I can use for this device? Thank you very much.😁

Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem with a Sunwell Q+ H6 android box 3Gb/32Gb (similar to Quadra), for example: the previous Armbian v6.6.60 Cinnamon Mesa/VPU boots fine from the SD Card (graphics are glitchy in menus but it's another matter): https://k-space.ee.armbian.com/archive/inovato-quadra/archive/Armbian_24.11.1_Inovato-quadra_bookworm_current_6.6.60_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop.img.xz But not the latest v6.6.75 cinnamon Mesa/VPU image, when I boot with this image on an SD card, the machine ignores it and boot on the integrated emmc OS.

Hi everyone, I'm recently obtained a TV box from a local store (seems like they sell Amazon returns or something, but they just have a bunch of random stuff). After installing AIDA64, I learned that it's running an Allwinner H616 CPU and has 4GB of RAM. It is able to boot warpme's MiniArch build for the Tanix TX6S, and I extracted the DTB from the Android build on the eMMC. My question is, where do I go from here? I'd like to build a custom Armbian image to support my device. When I try booting the Armbian image for the Orange Pi Zero 2, it gives an error over my serial monitor about a bad DRAM configuration which I expected since apparently these boxes have DRAM chi…

Suggestions will be very appreciated.

Topic: Armbian GNU/Linux for 'TX9PROMAX' TV box (not to be confused with the Tanix TX9, this one is a fake version of Tanix TX9 Pro) I am a beginner who wants to flash Armbian GNU/Linux to my fake TV box. It claims a high-end device specifications on the manual, box and even on the underside of the box itself (such as 256 gigabytes of storage and 8 gigabytes of RAM). However, that is completely false, proven by opening the box. Upon analysis of the TV box, we see that it has the following device specifications (given below in the form of a table): Note that the device specifications have been checked and I am sure that these are the specifications.

Hi, I'm quite new to all this Linux Arm thing and I don't have any setup to create the build myself.

Hey everyone! I have a TV Box labeled “In Xplus”, running on an Allwinner H313 (most likely a generic/rebranded device). I was able to install Linux on it using Armbian 26.2.0-trunk (Trixie). The system boots normally, but I’m facing network issues: - Wi-Fi is not working (no interface detected) - Ethernet is also not working (only interface is lo) So basically, the system runs fine, but I have no network connectivity at all. My questions: - Is this a current limitation of Armbian support for the H313? - Is there any specific DTB or patch that could fix Wi-Fi/Ethernet? - Is there a more stable Armbian version or another distro with better …

I am working in the social sector and researching for the cheap terminal for students which is for nonprofits. only for educational purposes. 1:I had purchased tx3mini (s905w) I successfully installed armbian but wifi is not working after struggling with some were getting the information there is no wifi driver available for this 2: I had purchased mxqpro with (allwinner h6 ) I don't try on this tell me how to install in this device or suggest me a cheap device which can run armbian smoothly only for browsing the web and running libre I want cheaper than raspberry pi or 2000 to 3000 rs per device https://www.eklavya.in/

Hello everyone, good day. I have a problem and I want to share it with you, maybe we can find a solution. I have a Next MyBox Android box, model H313, with 2GB of RAM (I don't know the LDDR3 type, but I think it's LDDR3).

I removed and cleaned it, but now when I try to install Armbian like X96Q with the SD card, I can't see a display or an IP address on my router. There's no HDMI display either. If you have any information about this, could you please share it?

I currently have a TV box with @Nick A Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_x98h_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img. I have installed linux-headers-edge-sunxi64_25.05.0-trunk_arm64__6.12.11 from the same repository. I'm trying to build a custom module to get the LCD working but I keep coming up against a Exec Format Error which implies a mismatch between the build version and the installed version. But I can't find the cause. I have been following the build instructions for tm16xx-display which hasn't been a smooth process. I've had to remove some forward slashes in the Makefile so it would find the drivers/auxdisplay folder and the line-display.mo…

Back to the "drawing board" in the search for a solution. 🤔

I managed to extract the correct dtb for this tvbox from Android, I converted it the DTS and it is all well readable but now I am stuck in doubts. I use Armbian with the dtb "sun50i-h6-tanix-tx6.dtb" for the Tanix TX6, but unfortunately it is not fully compatible with this tvbox. I have exaggeratedly high SoC temperature measurements compared to what I thermally detect on the cpu, and only two USB ports out of the existing four work. By compiling the image with these patches I was able to get the four usb ports and also the dual color LEDs working, but unfortunately they are stopped at an outdated kernel version inside Buster, and I would like to stay more up to …

Hi I got this Tvbox with H3 processor, I managed to boot using the image of the Orangepi PC. However it still needs some improvements.

Hello. I am currently planning on installing the precompiled Armbian image for T95 TV boxes running H616 (taken from https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=952835&view=findpost&p=97197753) on a TV box branded as "IconBIT Movie UNO", using a microSD card. The dissection of the case showed that the CPU is an Allwinner H313, and, upon thorough Googling, I have found out that X96Q is the only known TV box board with an H313. My question is, is it actually possible to run a T95 Armbian image on an X96Q-like? Any help and/or advice would be appreciated.

Hi, I can't find an image for my TV box and I was wondering if anyone has one that I could use on the device. Thanks for your help

Hi, I'm trying to get Armbian fully working on an MX10 F1 TV Box (Allwinner H313, 2GB LPDDR3, 16GB eMMC). The box boots using the X96Q LPDDR3 DTB (X96Q TV-Box LPDDR3), but several onboard devices are not working: ❌ Ethernet ❌ Built-in WiFi ❌ Bluetooth ❌ CPU frequency scaling Working: ✅HDMI ✅GPU (Panfrost / OpenGL ES 3.1) ✅USB ✅SD card ✅eMMC I've extracted the original Android DTB and DTS, and I'm attaching them together with the Armbian dmesg. Could someone familiar with Allwinner Device Trees help identify what is missing or needs to be changed to create proper support for t…

Basically it has 1 gb ROM 8gb ram h3 chip and I HAVE put many img files on SD card NONE of them boot and as soon as I take the SD card out it boots into android perfectly fine... I'm lost on words and what to do I have also tried FEL mode on linux but the request times out with error -7 power supply is 5v 2a which is fine for this so not that and I'm using a 256gb a1 rated SD card. This is from a generic Chinese tv box called meecom and it has ADX-H-V1.0 written on it. I also changed the dtb files a lot but it still gave no display or sign that it was booted into armbian idk what to do help ( btw I repasted it that's why it has no thermal putty on it)

Hey everyone! I've got a cheap TV box I found on amazon for a steep discount and was thinking of using it as a server for home use. Unfortunately I should have looked up the exact model before I bought it, seems like the "Pro S" isn't well known in this forum at all. I have a decent amount of experience with programming, building off GitHub, setting up Armbian, but I've not tried using custom files to make my own Armbian build in years, as in flashing u-boot, kernel, dtb, all separately. I was hoping someone had a build I can use for this to boot at least, I can connect to it via serial and if I can get a bootable build that can actually connect via ethernet at leas…

Newbie on Armbian. I have an Allwinner H313 (confirmed) box that I want to to use as a basic Samba server. CPU:Allwinner H313Quad Core ARM Cortex A53 GPU:Mali-G31 OPenGL ES3.2 Memory:2GB Flash:16GB OS:Android 10.0 The actual firmware is a secure image and, no matter what procedure I do, I can't load any other image but the secure one. Debugging shows that 'fastbootd' has the "secure" flag set. My intention is to create a basic secure arm64 Debian image but I am having a hard time in doing so. Any ideas (specific Wiki, procedures) on how to create the secure image or "reset" the "s…

Can I enable wifi (SV6256P) in H616 DDR3 Tv box https://github.com/paolosabatino/ssv6x5x/tree/master or build from old kernel 4.4.x

Hello there ! Is there any Armbian support for this device ?

Hello, sorry for my very bad english. I recently I bought a TV box with an h618 processor And I want to install Linux to make it a server but I only find images for the h616 processor, can I install one of these images on my TV box? It seems that the h616 processor and the h618 procesador are almost the same Thanks :D

Hi Can I install armbialn bookworm on x96qpro+ h728?

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble recovering my Android TV box T95 Max with the following specs: CPU: Allwinner H616 RAM: 4GB ROM: 32GB Board: AXP313A V3.0 The box was freezing after boot, so I tried to reflash the firmware using PhoenixCard / suit. What I’ve Tried So Far: Downloaded and flashed T95-H616-A27.img & T95-H616-A29.img through FEL mode and Flashing completed successfully but the box only shows a black screen on both HDMI and the small front panel screen. Tried other firmware images labeled for T95 Max H616 AXP313A Tried re-burning the SD using different cards and readers I found a workin…

Hello Everyone, I've seen a few threads on these boards but wanted to create a centralized source for information. It's my understanding there are multiple variants of these boards, the one I have and used is IK316Q-EMCP_V4.1 I know there are other versions without UART ports, mine was lucky enough to have them. To build this image (adjust the compile command to your liking) git clone https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build cd armbian-build git checkout MXQ-PRO ./compile.sh build BOARD=mxqpro-h313 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED= DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=cinnamon DESKTOP_ENVIRONME…

I’m really happy to share that I finally managed to port the SV6256P (SSV6X5X) SDIO Wi-Fi driver from the legacy Linux 4.4 kernel to modern kernels. This repository contains my working port for Linux kernel 6.12 and newer, with updated mac80211/cfg80211 integration so the driver can build and run on recent Armbian systems. The chipset is commonly used in many low-cost TV boxes and embedded devices, but the original driver only supported legacy kernels (4.4). Now it’s functional again on modern systems, at least on my tested hardware (Allwinner H616 / X96 Q via SDIO). Repository link: https://github.com/cdhigh/armbian_sv6256p I’m qu…

I've found that since it's just a SBC, I can install any other OS on it and stumbled upon Armbian. Since I'm new, I would like to know what images is supported with this board and any related guides to install it. This board has 1 full HDMI port, 1 USB type A port for data, and 1 USB type C port for power only (this is just my assumption). No SD card slot. I just …

Hey everyone, I’ve cross-flashed a MXQ 4K 5G (Allwinner sun8iw7p1 / H3) firmware onto a different H3-based TV box. Everything works surprisingly well, except for the IR Power-On/Wakeup. Since the hardware is different, my box's IR receiver is sending a scancode that the MXQ firmware doesn't recognize as the "Wakeup" key. Because this is an Allwinner (sunxi) build and not Rockchip, I know I can't just edit a remote.conf file in the system partition to fix the cold-boot power button. My questions: Where exactly is the Hardcoded IR Wakeup/Power-on scancode stored in these Phoenix-style Allwinner images? Is it buried in the Device Tree Blob (DTB)…

Hello, I have been looking for a cheap linux box and stumbled upon the T95mini, this forum and many other blog sites. I know TV Boxes especially Allwinner based ones are not supported and a lone member of this community (and maybe others) have brought them along to where they are now. My question is, I happen to have a T95mini with a 16GB emmc that boots just fine from the SD card, but when I try to run the nand-sata-install script, it is not detecting my emmc module. The section of the script that checks for the module only finds the sd card /dev/mcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 I opened it up to make sure there was an emmc module in there and there…

Hello, I have an Android M98-Y6 HDMI stick that reportedly has an Allwiner H313 processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. When I opened the case, I identified the emcp memory module KMQNW000SM-B316. I don't have access to console mode. I can only access adb commands as root.The RAM type DDR3 seems LPDDR3 ( version ??) I've tried different Armbian images without success. Unfortunately, Secure Boot is enabled.

Hi I was wondering if you can help me, I am a newbie with Android TV Boxes. What I am trying to achieve is to flash an image on a T95 Android TV Box to use as a server to run Wire-pod Opensource software for an Anki Vector Robot. I was informed that the T95 box (I bought it on aliexpress) has a H6 processor either the models h616 or 6313. I was recommend to this forum that there might be someone who has the correct image file. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could send me the file please. Julie

Hi there, Forgive me but I am a novice in Armbian. What I would like to do is install armbian on the T95Max box I have purchased. I have attached a pic of the Box and it's specs. I have tried to "upgrade" using the SD method but couldn't make that recognise the SD card even with the original firmware "T95max-H618-A9.img" that I sourced using Google. I have also tried to get the T95 Max recognised via the USB method but the box wasn't even recognised using that method either. I used the "Universal_ADB_Driver_v6.0" drivers but that made no difference. If I could get the correct method sorted…
