Additional Comments:

modified dtb: https://github.com/maz-1/h96-pro-plus-armbian-stuff

almost everything works except buggy gpu support. The kernel crashes when opengl programs (like glxgears) terminates, and low fps.

@mazdlc  Thanks.  Would it be possible to create a patch/diff between your dts modifications and those in the mainline kernel source tree?  And then post that either here or in your github?  That way as the code evolves others could easily pick up your work and port it to newer kernels if necessary in the future.

Sure, I have updated patch and Readme.

Update: I managed to get hdmi audio working.

Thank you for this modification. I tried to install it in two TV Boxes with s912 (H96 Pro plus , Beelink GT1) but on both i got the a halt on the kernel with message

 

random: crng init done

 

 

I read in this post https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=255371#p1558598 that replacing the root with dev/sda2 in the cmdline.txt  file should do the trick.
Unfortunately this file does not seem to exist in the armbian images . Any ideas ?
