May 15, 20242 yr I seem to have noticed the problem. I have two boxes, one old and one new. The old one can set the CPU frequency normally, but the new one does not work. No firmware works, and the desktop firmware for station M2 has become invalid. The picture shows that the hardware sizes of EMMC are different. I think hardware changes are the root cause. The error message is shown in the figure.

July 4, 20242 yr Author @paradigman you will need to extend partition size using the disc gui application from start menu. df -h sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk1p1 df -h Change language pack sudo apt-get install language-pack-[cod] sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-[cod] sudo apt-get install language-pack-[cod]-base sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-[cod]-base Example: es "spanish" sudo apt-get install language-pack-es sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-es sudo apt-get install language-pack-es-base sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-es-base and then change language on Pop_os! gui. @paradigman if you like the idea, you can build your own Pop_os! image.

August 26, 20242 yr 35 minutes ago, Hqnicolas said: The H96 MAX Became Full supported by armbian Mainline I want to clarify this statement. Armbian does not support this box. This is a Community Maintained box, which means it uses the Armbian infrastructure to produce automated weekly builds. The effort to maintain and support this box comes from the community not from Armbian resources. (https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules)

December 21, 20241 yr Thanks for your great works on building armbian on this tv box. I'm also looking for a method where the box could start from usb, some systems like emmuELEC needs to be started from usb... I tried a lot but all failed, I'm a pretty fresh here. I had some stupid questions: 1. Does it support to change boot priority by Uboot? I tried rk Uboot and mainline Uboot, nothing of UBoot info was printed on the hdmi output. The dts file is decompiled from dtb file in one official armbian image. 2. How to flash and boot usb from UEFI?
