I would like to say thank you very much to @sicxnull for the latest images of X96Q V5.1. They work really well and allow me to install HA as well as use it like a PC. You really did a great job!

Hi @Nick A,
 
I seem to have the same x96q v5.1 board as @Trauma.
 
He reported some time ago that your x98h image runs as intended on the x96q v5.1 board if the following patch is applied:
 
https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/blob/333e462466670e9a8609771ccd05977b87800881/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/board_x96q-v5-1/sunxi_mmc-dec-f_max-to-12MHz-to-get-emmc-reliable.patch
 
Although the v5.1 image from @sicxnull does work as well including ethernet and wifi, I would also prefer the more recent armbian version.
 
Can you briefly explain the steps necessary to build a corresponding image for the x96q v5.1?
 
Thank you

Just checked in and am surprised this thread has gotten so much attention. Glad people have been able to use and modify the image as needed. Huge shoutout to @Nick A for all the support he's giving in here

 

Glade to see you back @sicxnull. Thanks for the shoutout! Tried my best while you were gone. I don’t own one of these boxes. But I guess it doesn’t matter which one I get because theirs so many variations of the same box.
