So, For some Months I was trying to Use Latest Armbian on My Tx6S , First I found Nick Avollic's (Nick A) Armbian build that has my tx6s version supported the axp313 one but it was old (I can work with that though) but I wanted something that would support armbian latest.At first I tried to import directly from his repo but as he used miniarch patches it was difficult but somehow with some of ai assistantance I managed to made latest one but it was not on the latest stable kernal I used it for some time than now I thought why not get lastest kernal so After a lot of trail and error I finally managed to get latest Armbian and latest stable kernal working on my Tx6s.Its Also syncable to official armbian without issues .

 

Github

 

What's Working:

Ethernet

WiFi

USB

Ir-Receiver

 

What's Not Working:

Nothing,Right Now.

 

Untested:

Bluetooth (As my TV Box Doest Have Bluetooth So Its not possible for me to test)

 

Downloads:

Minimal Server

 

 

[I do recommended people to build/compile their own image from sources and not to trust any random build on internet. You can build your own image from my forked githubs add-tanix-tx6s-axp313 branch your own image]

 

 

In my test in CLI I found almost all the things working correctly.I will test the GUI/Desktop Interface later.

Tested,

GUI Desktop(Xfce Minimal)

Tested Web Browsing (Via Firefox)

Video Playback On YouTube(Via firefox)

Confirmed Audio Playback

 

I can confirm the GUI works but if anyone wants to use this box as desktop I think they should use it with lightweight de like Xfce or i3 also web browsing is painfully slow also aim for lightweight browser.

@firepower thank you brother in my free time I'll try to get it working but sometimes ago my vfd display started showing signs of age if it works I'll try to fix and push it to main official armbian.

Update - So recently my tv box (tx6s-axp-313) is now officially promoted to standard support status. If anyone was to download lastest image they can download from Official-Armbian-Website. or they can directly compile from their sources.

I compiled from source edge kernel and noble with cinnamon desktop kept freezing.

I then compiled stable kernal and trixie with cinnamon desktop and works reliably.

I have also installed openVFD and tanix vfd DTS overlay and also IR remote key map

Have bee unable to get bluetooth working SP6330. with correct firmware BCM4330B1.hcd ,  Bluetooth drivers installs but bluetooth device wont start. (same wifi and bluetooth firmware as android tvbox uses)

if i use another similar BCM4330B1.hcd file it install drivers and bluetooth device starts and detect connected bluetooth devices, but still bad as data is choppy for blue tooth audio.
