I deleted the build folder and built votar image a second time to make sure. same result. brcmfmac4334-sdio.tanix,tx6s.bin again was requested. just thought it strange. was trying to solve bluetooth not working and see what different dmesg give. originally compiled tanix tx6 then after compile vontar, though it may because used same build folder. that why did again with clean build. also tanix tx6 is requesting brcmfmac-ap6330-sdio.tanix,tx6s.bin /build/patch/u-boot/u-boot-h616 153-add-tanix_tx6s_axp313_defconfig.patch + model = "Tanix TX6s (axp313)"; + compatible = "tanix,tx6s", "allwinner,sun50i-h616"; 160-add-vontar-h618-defconfig.patch + model = "Vontar H618"; + compatible = "tanix,tx6s", "allwinner,sun50i-h616"; /build/patch/kernel/archive/warpme-6.12 0649-arm64-dts-allwinner-h618-add-vontar-h618-TVbox.patch + model = "Vontar H618"; + compatible = "tanix,tx6s", "allwinner,sun50i-h616"; should this be + compatible = "vontar,h618", "allwinner,sun50i-h616";

Noticed some strange wifi setting for my Vontar H618, its asking for Tanix,Tx6s wifi firmware I am using brcmfmac4334-sdio.bin and wifi works.

Here is an update for Video Acceleration Repository for v4l2request hardware video decoding (rockchip, allwinner) Does no seem to work tested on my Tanix Tx6 and Vontar H618

I use instructions here to get openvfd working.

latest build Armbian-unofficial 25.05.0-trunk noble, 6.12.11-edge-sunxi64, cinnamon 6.04 tanix-tx6s-axp313.csc working: 3 USB, Wifi, IR remote,LED Clock not working: Bluetooth,Video Acceleration, sound out via jack (2 analog audio output shown) vontar-h618.csc working: 2 USB, Wifi (needed to rename brcmfmac4334-sdio.rockchip,rk3318-box.txt > brcmfmac4334-sdio.txt), IR remote, LED Clock, sound jack out via jack (3 analog audio output shown) not working: Bluetooth, Video Acceleration

I updated above vontar-h618.csc with the changes. I am happy with Tanix-tx6. my sdcard is configured how i want it. to install SDCARD to EMMC run armbian-install

created tanix-tx6s-axp313.cscvontar-h618.csc Vontar build ok. but wont boot, trying build again. Tanix Builds ok. Boots ok. IR remote works, led clock works, wifi work.

Are you able to enable 3 usb ports by default, as Tanix TX6 has 3, and the transpeed-8k build works on it but only 2 usb ports are enabled.

I built latest image Armbian-unofficial 25.05.0-trunk noble, Kernel 6.12.11-edge-sunxi64 tested on Vontar H618 and Tanix TX6 I can't get IR remote to work doing same steps as on previous builds. also dmesg | grep -i bluetooth is blank where previous build had info and errors about bluetooth. maybe due to changes from using warpme patches?

Tanix TX6 IR Remote key scan codes. I have both transpeed-8k.toml and tanix-tx6.toml files installed with both remotes working. 1> sudo apt-get install ir-keytable 2> copy the attached file tanix-tx6.toml to /etc/rc_keymaps/protocols/ 3> add the following line to your /etc/rc.local ir-keytable -p NEC -w /etc/rc_keymaps/protocols/transpeed-8k.toml ir-keytable -p NEC -w /etc/rc_keymaps/protocols/tranix-tx6.toml tanix-tx6.toml transpeed-8k.toml

found this topic about getting bluetooth to work, maybe some clues here to help get it working https://forum.armbian.com/topic/13218-cant-start-bluetooth-on-orange-pi-zero-plus-2-h5/

After playing around with overlays, seems they do not alter existing setting, only add new setting. nothing changes by editing overlays and using sudo armbian-add-overlay /boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay/bluetooth.dts

for extra USB port. Try adding this to your .dts &ehci2 { status = "okay"; }; &ohci2 { status = "okay"; }; what is the & for ? overlay dont like it ? I want to make the above in an overlay.

I been comparing the different bluetooth patches for transpeed, vontar and tanix TV boxes. I made an overlay bluetooth.dts with the changes i need for my vontar tv box using transpped image. using overlay allows you make changes for testing. got the idea from the openvfd.dts overlay by @MMorales cp bluetooth.dts /boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay/ sudo armbian-add-overlay /boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay/bluetooth.dts bluetooth.dts

Thanks for the tip. thats fixed it

is it safe to do ? sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade I have been unable to boot after doing this, had to burn fresh .img to sdcard to boot again. I have done this previously with no issues (is this due to ubuntu noble 24.11.0 > 24.11.2 updating ?) here is update and upgrade list and update. No Boot after reboot.

regarding openvfd.dts file Tanix Tx6s PCB is mounted upside down in the case and thats why the openvfd.dts file is different. swapping my SD card between Vontar (transpeed) and Tanix resulted in the time being displayed upside down lol.

I have a save the build folder after compiling you your transpeed 8k618. Makes doing patches changes quicker. Especially if compile fails, i can just delete all and make new copy to edit. I will also try without KERNEL_GIT=shallow option.

I think i just edit your sun50i-h618-transpeed-8k618-t.dts file as its mostly working as is. will be faster to complile than creating patches. would this be ok to do? or would doing that also need patches? I use setting in the volume sound icon to switch audio to line out on my vontar, but not working on my tanix, sure i have to edit dts to get it and other thingsd working. thanks for the info, i keep trying, more to learn.

I have Transpeed-8k618-t Armbian 24.11.0 Kernel 6.10.10 using 20241125 build Noble 24.04 cinnamon desktop working on my Vontar H618. still no bluetooth and video acceleration. I am unable to create kernel patches or use patch provide by nick for previous build for my tanix-tx6s after many attempts all weekeend. I have now using the same image for my Vontar on my Tanix Tx6s but using sun50i-h616-tanix-tx6s-axp313.dtb mlink to sun50i-h618-transpeed-8k618-t.dtb in /boot/dtb/allwinner It allows more features of the tanix tx6s to be used like the 3 usb ports etc and is more reliable compared to when I used patches on previous build branch v20240909 which would freeze after a few minutes. still no bluetooth, video acceleration , no sound via line out. I am looking for any online guides on how to add patches to armbian. as i seem to be doing it wrong and only guessing how to do it. when i create my patches they are nothing like the ones that Nick provided me. (patches to add tanix-tx6s-axp313.dts to uboot and kernel) these are the build instructions i been using. any advice on how to do it better would be appreciated. After reafing again from beginning of forum post and have gained more info and tips about how dts and setting i need for vontar h618 and tanix tx6s builds. Will keep trying to get it to build.

I have openvfd working on my Vontar H618 and Tanix TX6s. I attached the openvfd.dts for the Tanix Tx6 as it is different. I also have IR remote working on both. Bluetooth and Video Acceleration are not working. Thank you @MMorales for openvfd @rafman for IR remote @Nick A for Armbian 24.11.0 build and 6.10.10 Kernel Headers. openvfd.dts

I download the android DTB file to extract the DTS for my Tanix TX6 using my box.dts is Can this dts be used by armbian as it looks different to the existing dts i seen. ??
