Armbian Version | 系统版本

• Kernel Version: [6.0.11]
• Release: [jammy]

Describe the bug | 问题描述 用2022年6月份的版本，具体记不清了，也是jammy，内核5.15把，已经刷机成功，并正常写入 emmc ，也是一直能够正常运行 最近想折腾一下桌面环境，自己装老是有各种报错，非常苦恼。看了现在最新的版本，有 armbian-software 命令，可以比较方便地一键安装桌面环境，故想要重新刷机。 把现在最新的 release 正常刷进 TF 卡，通过 TF 卡启动，然后运行 armbian-install 来写入 emmc 后，再断电，拔 TF 卡，插电，一直黑屏，估计是变砖了。 用线刷刷入 sbx_x96max_plus_a100_atv_15_4_1.img，回到 SlimBox，再捅菊花，通过 usb读卡器加载 TF 卡，启动进入 armbian，再次运行 armbian-install 写入 emmc，变砖情况依旧。

变砖是连开机的 logo 都看不到，之前开机是有一个 x96max+ 的动画的，我是不是把某些更底层的启动代码给洗掉了？

百兆应该是选517吧，你先在USB里修改下/boot/uEnv.txt里的dtb名称为meson-sm1-x96-air.dtb，然后重启，确认选择正确的话再写入emmc，选择517

[dicsonpan]

按照上述操作，修改了 uEnv.txt，启动进入 TF 卡上的 armbian 并运行 armbian-install，选择 517 后写入 emmc 后重启，屏幕和之前变砖不同，虽然还是全黑，但 led 屏幕的背光是亮的，即不能显示任何信息。也不能正常启动 emmc 上的 armbian 拔电源，捅菊花，usb 读卡器加载 TF 卡，还能重新进入卡上的系统

[ophub]

安装时用：armbian-install -m yes

[dicsonpan]

情况还是一样，我把 armbian-install 的主要运行过程截图下来了，看看有没什么遗漏或者出错的地方？ 另外更正一下，不用捅菊花，插入 usb 口也能加载 TF 卡上的 armbian，是不是 u-boot 或者 dtb 没搞对？

[ophub]

cat /boot/uEnv.txt
sha256sum /boot/u-boot*

你之前用的哪个dtb 你换5.15的固件试试，可能6.0不适合

[dicsonpan]

我记不清之前用的哪个 dtb 了，那几个 dtb 我都试过了，还是一样 刷到 emmc 里边的时候，我看到有个提示说把 u-boot-x96maxplus.bin copy 为 u-boot.emmc 对吗？ 是不是意味着从 emmc 启动的话，bootloader 会去找 u-boot.emmc？我对嵌入式的启动过程一知半解，很不专业，瞎猜的

[dicsonpan]

5.15 固件也试过，一样的情况

[ophub]

你先改下uEnv.txt里的dtb为meson-sm1-sei610.dtb，改完重启，如果可以正常从tf卡启动，网络也没问题再写入emmc armbian-install 选0手动输入 meson-sm1-sei610.dtb

在5.15内核里，u-boot如果不需要也可以启动，就可以不添加

[dicsonpan]

5.15 内核里，用 meson-sm1-sei610.dtb 可以正常从 emmc 启动进入系统，无线网络没问题。我不太需要用到有线，就没试

[ophub]

你就改这个dtb测试，写入emmc时选0手动输入。测试没问题的话添加一条配置信息，以后就选ID。

[dicsonpan]

但内存只识别到 1G，蛮奇怪的啊。这个版本应该是 4+32，RAM少了，ROM正常

[ophub]

内存少了就复制u-boot重启

u-boot-x96maxplus.bin 复制为 u-boot.emmc

[ophub]

我在另外一个帖子里看到了，a100盒子用 meson-sm1-sei610.dtb 有线、无线、蓝牙都可以使用 你的盒子拍点照片给大家参考下， 外观 底部的标签 如何方便拍主板的话，正反两面拍一下 如果知道救砖的短接点的话，在主板上标示一下 如果有它的安卓系统的话分享一下，我转存一份备用

[dicsonpan]

盒子已经没了，我一直用主板。照片稍后整理发出 现在的情况是这样 内核：5.15 dtb：meson-sm1-sei610.dtb 没有 u-boot.emmc ，能正常通过 emmc 进入系统，但内存只检测到 1G 如果把 u-boot-x96maxplus.bin 复制为 u-boot.emmc，那还是不能通过 emmc 进入系统

我是用 u盘 启动，进入 u盘 自己的 armbian 之后，把 mmcblk2p1 mount 到一个目录下，进行的 copy 操作，没有重新运行 armbian-install 命令

[ophub]

u盘是u-boot.ext 我给配置添加一条记录，你稍等下载使用这个文件

[ophub]

# 下面的命令一行复制到USB启动系统里执行，替换本地的配置文件
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/main/build-armbian/armbian-files/common-files/etc/model_database.conf -O /etc/model_database.conf

# 然后再执行安装选522即可
armbian-install -m yes

armbian-install -m yes

还是之前说的那个问题，emmc 不能启动 armbian。把 u-boot.emmc 删除后，能进入 armbian，但内存只识别出 1G

[dicsonpan]

正面

反面

在usb里把u-boot-x96maxplus.bin 复制为 u-boot.ext可以启动？这时内存是正常的吧。 你是复制的还是改名的？只能复制不能改名，不要把u-boot-x96maxplus.bin整没了，不然写入emmc时缺少文件无法复制。

[dicsonpan]

在usb里把u-boot-x96maxplus.bin 复制为 u-boot.ext可以启动？这时内存是正常的吧。 可以启动，并且内存正常显示是 4G

你是复制的还是改名的？只能复制不能改名，不要把u-boot-x96maxplus.bin整没了，不然写入emmc时缺少文件无法复制。 我都是复制的，没有改名，写入到 emmc 后，也能找到 u-boot.emmc 这个文件

[ophub]

https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/issues/283

这个帖子里使用5.10内核。这个肯定需要u-boot才能启动，他存储32G不知道他使用的是emmc还是tf卡。

按理说tf能用的u-boot，在emmc里也没问题，你这是第一个反应只能usb使用的现象。

[ophub]

你会救砖的话，可以试试在 /etc/model_database.conf 里添加 MAINLINE_UBOOT

刚才给你添加的522编号这一行，第六列（MAINLINE_UBOOT）里把NA改为x96maxplus-u-boot.bin.sd.bin

写入时还是使用命令：armbian-install -m yes

USB使用u-boot.ext能使用的原因之一，是因为USB里的固件里添加MAINLINE_UBOOT

[dicsonpan]

这样就可以了！

[ophub]

添加MAINLINE_UBOOT可以了？ 欢迎界面截个图

[dicsonpan]

添加MAINLINE_UBOOT可以了？

是的，你更新一下 /etc/model_database.conf 吧

[dicsonpan]

[ophub]

把你的emmc里的/etc/ophub-release这个文件改下，把这个MAINLINE_UBOOT值更新上（可能脚本已经自动更新对了，你检查下）。 MAINLINE_UBOOT='/usr/u-boot/x96maxplus-u-boot.bin.sd.bin'

这样以后更新内核时自动给添加。

[ophub]

你分享的固件里，你使用过的是哪个？下面的atv这个？

[dicsonpan]

你分享的固件里，你使用过的是哪个？下面的atv这个？ 是的

[dicsonpan]

顺便试了一下 6.0 的内核，启动不成功，提示如下，供参考

[dicsonpan]

把你的emmc里的/etc/ophub-release这个文件改下，把这个MAINLINE_UBOOT值更新上（可能脚本已经自动更新对了，你检查下）。 MAINLINE_UBOOT='/usr/u-boot/x96maxplus-u-boot.bin.sd.bin'

这样以后更新内核时自动给添加。

[ophub]

https://github.com/ophub/kernel/releases/tag/tools

安卓固件转存到这里了。 你试试5.10/5.4的应该可以。

6.0的好几个盒子反馈不能用。现在下载的固件里还没刚才添加的配置文件，你都需要手动改那个配置文件，手动添加u-boot，改dtb等。

[luucasmooreira]

Can anyone help me with the correct procedure? I booted the firm with sei610.dtb, copied u-boot-x96maxplus.bin to u-boot.ext, the system loaded and took the 4 GB of RAM and LAN IP. I gave the following command armbian-install -m yes, and selected dtb 522. But when I restarted I didn't get IP =/.

Where am I going wrong?

[ophub]

cat /etc/model_database.conf | grep ^522

Aren't you asking about the s905w next door? This post is s905a, did you change the device?

[luucasmooreira]

Yes, but it's the exact same problem I'm facing. I can't make IP Lan + 4GB of Ram work.

[ophub]

Your 100W can be used normally?

[ophub]

From the motherboard picture you sent, your bluetooth/WIFI chip is different, his is AM7256, yours is W522A

[luucasmooreira]

Yes, stock firmware x96 max+ 100w.

[luucasmooreira]

yes, sei610.dtb recognizes 1gb of ram and takes ip Lan. a95xf3.air.dtb recognizes 2 GB of Ram and Ip Lan. I don't remember if x96-air.dtb worked with 2 GB Ram too, and it got Ip Lan. I've been trying to solve it for 5 days, I'm not thinking straight anymore.

[D-Sta]

Hi, I have the same hardware: SOC: [S095x3] Model [x96max+ a100，无线网卡是AM7256，有线100M 那款]

I have installed the armbian to the emmc with armbian-install -m yes with updated /etc/model_database.conf and the target is 522. 4GB of ram is recognized but the Ethernet is not longer working.

[ophub]

try 5.15/5.10 kernel

Restore the original system of Android first, and then install armbian

[D-Sta]

Unfortunately i did not make a backup of the system, because when i tried doing amrbian-ddbr then b i used to get an error of not enough space, something like >2GB required, only 1GB available.

Can i use the images provided Android TV firmware with the armbian-ddbr or those images are only for Amlogic usb burning tool

[ophub]

Look at the previous reply, there is an Android system download in the post with pictures.

[D-Sta]

I have successfully recovered the stock android tv firmware, and then installed armbian to the emmc. Tried the 5.10.157 kernel by doing armbian-update -k 5.10.157 -v stable -m yes but the lan still does not work.

Is the kernel network working fine with 5.15.81? Is the network normal when in USB?

[luucasmooreira]

the best I could do was use armbian install and use dtb 520 ( a95xf3-air.dtb). I can't find a way to recognize 4GB of Ram and Ip Lan :/

[D-Sta]

Is the kernel network working fine with 5.15.81? Is the network normal when in USB?

Sorry for being late replying to your question, but was doing a lot of testing as to make sure if it works or not. So, the answer is: Yes, it works with kernel 5.15.81, when booting with USB, and the emmc is in its stock state, armbian not flashed to it yet. As soon as I flash armbian to the EMMC with the mainline u-boot, the Ethernet no longer works.

But there is a note that might be useful. When restoring the EMMC using the image provided in this issues SlimboxTV the Ethernet does not work even when booting from USB. Fortunately I have 2 pcs of the same TV box, so I booted into armbian from USB and did a backup using armbian-ddbr. Then used the image to restore the emmc of the first device and then the Ethernet was working with 5.15.81, but only while booting from usb. So I think the problem of Ethernet occurs somewhere in the u-boot.

Now I'm restoring back to stock firmware, and this time will try to install on EMMC but without using the mainline u-boot. As far as I remember everything was working that way, but only 1GB of RAM was available, but need to make sure because I forgot.

P.S I can confirm that Ethernet works when not using the mainline u-boot, but only 1GB of RAM is available. Now if I install with the mainline u-boot the RAM will be 4GB and Ethernet will not work.

Is it worth try installing 5.10 kernel?

[D-Sta]

UPDATE @ophub I've tried installing 5.10.158/5.4.226 kernel but no luck with the Ethernet. As long as i install the mainline u-boot the ethernet no longer works.
