Allwinner CPU Boxes

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

Currently working on a build for this device. It boots and is about 90% functional on 6.6 and 6.7 Kernel https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/tree/X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3 Working - Desktop - Ethernet - Wifi Not working - DTS could use some work. Right now it does not detect internal EMMC so installing to EMMC is not an option. - Likely other things i've missed. I've uploaded two images to my git. Full w/Mate Desktop Minimal/Server Feel free to compile this yourself if you don't trust my images, it's encouraged. Changes are on the X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3 Branch Full W/Desktop ./compile.sh build BOARD=x96q-tvbox BRANCH=cur…

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.

New Image 20210123 for H6, kernel 5.10.9 https://yadi.sk/d/0a41swJcEAZ0SQ?w=1 https://mega.nz/folder/j9QSDQSQ#6WpasOlbZYIInfw6yo4phQ/folder/K9BRjSaZ

Tanix TX6 is H6 based Android TV Box and it can boot from SD cards prepared with PhoenixCard. It should be possible to make it work with Armbian too, right? I tried a recent Lite2 image, it didn't work, but it also didn't boot main Android, which means SD boot takes priority. I don't think it's a normal behavior for other Android TV boxes, but maybe it is for those with H6 boards.

So i have a x96q with a h313 coming soon. I got it from https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=601099525915611 the specs are CPU: Allwinner H313 Quad Core ARM Cortex A53 GPU: G31 OPenGL3.2 OS: Android 10.0 RAM: 1GB/2GB ROM: 8GB/16GB Wi-Fi version: 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n Resolution standard: 4K How would I go about installing this. I read that bigtreetech-cb1 works, but no wifi. Is this the best option?

(sorry for bad english) i'm looking to boot in an armbian bookworm by sicxnull on my mxq pro 4k 5g, i checked the aida64, it showed the allwinner h313, i tried the toothpick method to the recovery menu (which have a boot option?) i'm novice to android 😕 by the way here are the images of the tv box pcb:

I have this tvbox model as per the attached photos. I tried to run the image: Armbian_23.5.2_Orangepizero2_bookworm_current_6.1.30 but the error appeared: U-Boot SPL 2021.04 (May 25 2023 - 13:06:08 +0200) DRAM:This DRAM setup is currently not supported. I was able to extract the dtb files along with the boot.img and bootloader.img. but I'm sending the files that I dumped.

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…

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…

Hi guys, I'm sorry for the english but I'm italian. I'm a noob in Linux so I'm in search of someone that can help me.

Hi, Firstly sorry for the bad english(By Google Translator). I've been searching for a long time on how to use linux on my tv box, without success. I searched here on the forum in several topics, I didn't find anything related to the tx6s, the closest I came was the Orange-Pi Zero 2, which uses the same processor. In one of the topics, from 2020 if I'm not mistaken, a user warned that because it was the same processor or similar hardware, it wouldn't necessarily work. Even so I ventured out and tried in hopes of working, some versions of Armbian for OrangePi Z2 and other linux for ARM. With other ARM versions the tv box, boote…

Good time of the day! There is such a board, a TV set-top box from Aliexpress. Processor: Allwinner H3 Memory: JWA60 (I understand emcp) r69-EMCP The board has inscriptions R69-EMCP_v2.0 and EMCP_LPDDR3_EMCP. Installed Linux kernel localhost 4.4.55 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 11 15:35:09 CST 2021 armv7l The question is, when installing any Armbian image on mSD, I get the following result of booting from mSD: U-Boot SPL DRAM: 0MiB ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ### I understand that he does not see RAM, tell me how to set up RAM. Poke where the assembly process for LPDDR3 is described in detail. …

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 need secure image x98h pro

I have an IK316-EMCP_v4.1 board, and I need to install Armbian on it. But there is no information on the internet about this card. If you have any information on how I can install Armbian, or any other Linux distro on this board, please let me know.

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. Steps: 1. on android become developer 2. enable oem bootloader unlocking in developer options 3. adb reboot bootloader 4. fastboot oem unlock 5. reboot, the system will be wiped clean 6. install Magisk apk from github releases 7. get Teclast T60 AI firmware from their site it contains Firmware.img 8. ./sunxi-fw extract -n "wty:init_boot.fex" -o stock_init_boot.img Firmware.img 9. transfer to device and patch with Magisk app 10. adb reboot bootloader …

Which version to install ARMBIAN on mxq pro 4K 5g with AllWinner H3 processor (N8050BA 96T4)?

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…

Hi all, i've been going this forum long enough to try and root a tv box that i buyed recently, but this one is HEAVILY locked up, like nothing i have seen before. My objective here is to access 'su' so i can have access to rooting/overclocking this thing for emulators, and after that adding a heatsink, active cooling, etc. I tried ADB over all USBs (4 in total) but nothing. then i tried to see if root was available through some leftover app or vulnerability, but nothing. Then i tried following the specs from this thread (pretty similar in design to my PCB) but my UART displays nothing. (I leave the images from my setup below), i tried switching the wires, i teste…

Hi Can I install armbialn bookworm on x96qpro+ h728?

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.

Hello, I have this kind of box: https://onpad.ru/catalog/cubie/wintel/2565.html (Allwinner H6, 1G LPDDR3, 8G eMMC Flash). I have successfuly run armbian img for orangepi-3, but ethernet port does not work, because this device use internal phy-ethernet. How can I make eth0 port working? Best Regards,

Apologies this isnt about Orange Pi Zero 2, but about a TV stick called Tronsmart Draco H3 which I have and am trying to repurpose into a light weight server with armbian. It obviously isnt well known, but I have tried a few H3 based builds, all of them boot fine, but I cant seem to get Wifi running. I tried Orange Pi PC and Orange Pi but they dont have Wifi at all I believe, so it didnt ask to setup wifi. I tried Orange Pi Zero 2+H3, but for some odd reason my keyboard didnt work on it, so I couldnt setup the users to be able to get further. I tried Nano Pi R1, but that didnt have HDMI, so my hdmi didnt work and I had no idea how to view the output …

On internet i can't find any image for this tv box. Anyone have build for this?

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.

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…

I have one of those projectors, and I came to think about perhaps it could be possible to put Armbian on it. Mostly just for fun. I really doubt it would be an improvement to have Linux on a projector, with most likely missing hardware decoding of codecs and other things, rather than having the original Android. However, I haven't really found any information about the H713 chip in any of the different forums with Linux on Arm. Have any of you any information or think that it would be a fun project? If so, please respond.

So, For some Months I was trying to Use Latest Armbian on My Tx6S , First I found Nick Avollic's (Nick A) Armbian build that has my tx6s version supported the axp313 one but it was old (I can work with that though) but I wanted something that would support armbian latest.At first I tried to import directly from his repo but as he used miniarch patches it was difficult but somehow with some of ai assistantance I managed to made latest one but it was not on the latest stable kernal I used it for some time than now I thought why not get lastest kernal so After a lot of trail and error I finally managed to get latest Armbian and latest stable kernal working on my Tx6s.Its Als…

hi balbes, does anyone know if there is armbian system for allwinner h616? this is my tv box

I had X96 Mate from long time, which is 4GB/32GB with H616 CPU, (It is almost same as Tanix TS6s) Tried many images from orange pi for same chip, none worked perfectly. Found out Sunix Linux community got support for H616, but they don't build full OS images, After hell of searching found a repo from https://github.com/warpme/miniarch He hosts MiniArch SD card image which works on many devices, from same link got SD card image for Tanix tx6s which also worked on x96_Mate (both got H616) Here is the file I used - https://github.com/warpme/miniarch/releases/download/20230106-6.1.5-g78293cd3/MiniArch-20230106-6.1.5-board-h616.tanix_tx6…

Preexisting builds of Armbian won't run on my X96Q TV box because mine uses DDR3 instead of LPDDR3. U-Boot SPL 2024.01_armbian-2024.01-S866c-P4a40-H8869-Vad24-Bbf55-R448a (Nov 15 2025 - 02:36:36 +0000) This DRAM setup is currently not supported. How do I change the DRAM (and possibly other) configuration U-Boot is built with? I'll be quite frank: Quite annoyed by this whole process. The build process for both Armbian and U-Boot has exhausted my patience and I'm very much not in the mood for digging through (often hard to find) documentation.

Hi all. May I ask here? Just found a mention of EMCP only here. I got such a board, not a single image is loaded from it. Allwinner H3 processor, jwa60 memory. I think it's all about memory. Advise what to do next? How to run an image from it ( foto

So there is some conflicting naming between the name of the unit and the name on the board revision code. The name of the unit would suggest that it's a X96-Q clone, but the revision number suggests that it's a T95 mini. Like as seen in this video

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. This is the picture of the board: T95 Mini 2/16G If you done success, would have had another task with the same board. I also want to be able to copy the system from the SD card to the NAND of t…

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…

Hi all, I am a (not so) proud owner of a Pendoo X6 PRO and i'm trying to convert it into a NAS but dealing with the android APKs on such old android version is a nightmare, so i'm opting for ARMbian but without any success so far... i've tried to use the images for the TX6 which supposedly has the same CPU but when i insert the SD card i just get a black screen, black 7 segments display and no ethernet cable activity... i'm attaching the hardware report hoping for a miracle, thank you to whoever will decide to spend some time guiding me on this project Device Info Report.txt

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?

Anyone with x96q pro? I am trying to make it boot from memory card by holding down the reset button and putting in the power cord but nothing happens.

I have tried A lot of ROMs and they do not work. The device is not working now. Please help. Thank you.

Hi everyone. What I would like to do is install Armbian on the X98H TV box. I tried many ways to do that, but I was not successful. If you know how to install Armbian on it, plz suggest to me Thanks

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

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)…

I am planning to buy this device, and I would like to know if I can install Armbian on this device: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Android-Resolution-Cortex-A53-Support-2-4GHz/dp/B088NDFK4J

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

I recently got a 2 GB RAM / 16 GB T95 Max TV box. I have been playing with the Armbian images from: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12162-single-armbian-image-for-rk-aml-aw-aarch64-armv8 Are these the best / most up-to-date pre-built Armbian images for my box? I noticed that thread has been closed. I am aware this box is not officially supported by the project. The first issue I have encountered, and I presume this could also well be a general bug in Armbian although I have not confirmed by trying it on my supported BananaPi M1 yet, is that I am unable to install the mate desktop under either of the focal images due to a package conflic…

Hello community, I am looking for help to boot Armbian on a generic TV Box sold as "MXQ Pro 4K 5G". I have tried multiple images (including official and community builds from sicXnull), but I only get a black screen or signal loss immediately after the boot attempt. Device Specifications: Model on case: MXQ Pro 4K 5G Board ID: IK316Q-EMCP_V4.1 SoC: Allwinner H313 (identified as sun50iw9p1 in Android) RAM: 1GB (Single chip configuration) Storage: 8GB eMMC Current Status: I am able to boot into the stock Android. To attempt the Armbian boot, I am using the reboot update command from a terminal emulator within Android. …

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. Bob

Hello, I have this TV box and it's difficult to find the firmware, only the logo appears on the screen and it freezes, I've already reset it and nothing, if anyone can help me, thank you very much. Here are photos of the board.

How do install armbian in my TX98 TV BOX Processor:Allwinner H313 I bought it on tiktok shop

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 …

Seeing how things on this forum have started moving towards developing a functional version of armbian for the H618 based TV boxes, would it be a smart idea to use one as a Raspberry Pi replacement for any DIY projects related to portable PC builds?

Hi, I have two TV boxes TX6 (4/32) and TX6-H (4/64).

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…

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.

I just bought a qplus 4GB/64GB and installed the latest buster desktop image from @balbes150 (https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/aw-h6-tv/) with the mid-term intention of building some sort of headless sf2 midi synthesizer that can be connected to a usb midi keyboard with acceptable latency. I also had lying around an old minix x8-h plus (S812 based), but I was not able to make armbian work on it with an external usb soundcard for more than a few minutes (somehow it always crashed). The qplus works very nicely, although I had problems with lightdm on second boot and the greeter did not apper. I went for the nodm route for autologin and it seems to do the…

Hello, I have two of those TV box Android Q+ tv box, which apparently has H616 CPU in it, and I am trying for literally two days to install armbian or some other linux on it (I want to repurpose them to something usefull). I tried with all the images for orangepi zero 2, tanix t96s/96, basically all the images that I could imagine and could find, that apparently should boot from SD card. My procedure is that I press button inside of AV port, with SD card inserted, and pluging power in whilist holding reset button, and it newer boots into any armbian or other distro that I tried. I saw few people here managed to install linux on it, but I ran out of i…

Hi, can anybody tell me if the Armbian release by developer Awawa for the Tanix TX6 tv-box Allwinner H6 will work on mt T95 mini tv box? I'm asking because it works on the T95 max also. I am currently running the Inovato Quadra image on my T95 mini but it has a terribly annoying flaw, in that it changes the MAC address after every reboot, which as you can imagine is infuriating when you're trying to set up SSH/SFTP/VNC. I have a workaround by manually setting the IP address on the box to a static IP then setting up port forwarding in my router to that address but i seem to lose access via the local network yet via my external IP address it works fine. I als…

Hi, I have a T95 mini TV box that had an Allwinner H6 cpu. I know that basically there's no further/current development for these boxes but I think my problem is solvable. Basically I have my armbian os installed and I have internet access, but I can't access the box via any remote access methods like SSH or VNC. I have checked the armbian-config and it says SSH is enabled. I even verified that it's running on port 22 and it's active, but no matter what I try, I can't access it with my laptop running Windows 11. I have set up a static IP address in my router for the box, based off the MAC address, and I even set a static IP in the armbian os itself to mirro…

I'm planning on buying said Tv box in order to make it as a klipper host for a 3d printer since pi alternatives are too expensive nowadays.

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…
