thank you for your help

@Nick Aseems like that still didn't work. is there anything you do for your builds that is not on the github page? I'll look into it some more tomorrow.

@Nick A unfortunately, that didn't seem to work. The ethernet interface does not appear when I run ip a when using an image built like this.

hey @Nick A, seems like when I build the image on my own the ethernet doesn't work? I tested with and without the modified kernel config and it happens either way. When I use the image you publish in the releases page, it works fine. Am i doing something wrong?

thanks again, I'll do this soon.

@Nick AI have been using the TX6s build and it's been working great, but I was curious about the structure of your repository. I saw no files for the TX6s, but I see images for it in the releases? I'm new to all this, but I need to change some kernel config options so I was wondering how I could apply those to your repository.

@Nick A oh your build for the Tanix TX6S worked perfectly for me already (thanks!) though I did notice some weird behaviour on my other box that's supposed to be identical to this one. stuff like armbian-config freezing when trying to format the eMMC mainly. I noticed a hang in the kernel in the dmesg when that happened so I suspect there might be some minor difference in the hardware that I'll look into later. for right now I've moved to a box with an amlogic s905y4, which is a whole other can of worms. I got debian-on-amlogic to boot so I'm hoping I can copy over the u-boot and dtb in other to get armbian working on it, since it has more features for SBCs. thanks for your help nick!

oh thanks! I didn't realize you already had an axp313 image. I've been compiling armbian with custom u-boot patches and it's been taking forever. I've been trying to adapt a dtb to my box, which one do you use? I tried including the one from miniarch but it seems like it gives warnings and I can't bypass them in the Armbian build system.

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 chips that are often laid out differently than the Orange Pi, and this can apparently be fixed with a U-boot configuration change. I was curious about how I can integrate these changes into my own build of Armbian so I could bring support to my device. Thanks in advance!
