I have installed Armbian 20.10 Focal 5.9.7 in my OTT TV BOX X96 mini 1 + 8GB and it works well, only the wifi that does not work, I want to know if there is a more advanced kernel to install it on these equipment.

 

Equipment information:

- Amlogic S905W chipset

* Quad Core 1.2GHz 64bit Cortex-A53 Mali-450

* 1 GiB of DDR3 memory

- 8 GiB of eMMC flash

- 10/100Mbit Ethernet

- HDMI output up to 4K30P

- Model: X96 mini.

 

I would like to install one such as: Armbian 21.xx Focal 5.10.x, if some one knows please let me know.

Moved post into its own thread as this is not related to the thread it was originally posted in.

@Joel Mercedes First I want to draw your attention to the following information so that your expectations are properly set: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first

 

Second, what build did you install and where did you download it from?  I am not aware of a build for amlogic TV boxes that has kernel 5.9.7 in it.

Hi @Joel Mercedes the last image you can install for Amlogic devices is the 20.10 with kernel 5.9.0 created by @balbes150

WIFI generally does not work on this cheap devices. You must use ethernet or a 1$ wifi-usb dongle.

 

Anyway:

What image did you install to get the kernel 5.9.7? Or did you update the kernel over 5.9.0?

What DTB are you using?
