Openwrt H96MAX RK3318

[yoelwib11]

I see that there is a dtb for the a95x rk3318 on new kernel, but i don't see any firmware for that box. I am using h96max box with rk3318. So how do i use openwrt using this box?

Thank you so much.

[yoelwib11]

Yes i have. But which firmware should i use?

openwrt is the same as armbian. Do you have these two u-boots?

[yoelwib11]

Yes i have both. So, what should i do? Please tell me how.

[ophub]

Upload these files, I will make one by hand, and you can test whether it can be used.

Do you use armbian? This is the same as openwrt startup requirements, if armbian can start normally, openwrt is fine.

I can't boot into openwrt. When i boot into armbian via sdcard it works. Maybe because of the partition difference? The armbian boot partition can be opened in windows and i can edit it.

[yoelwib11]

Btw the firmware on my box is still an Android TV.

[ophub]

I made it using the 6.1.10 kernel. I use your 2 u-boots, and the dtb file uses the one with h96max. As long as these three files are correct, it should be able to start normally in theory.

See the link above for how to boot from USB.

Can the combination of your dtb and u-boot be used normally in other firmware tests? There is no h96max dts of rk3318 in the kernel source code, where did you compile it from, and what is the kernel version?

[yoelwib11]

I just downloaded it from https://cloud.mail.ru/public/KGXQ/a5GcEg8t9/Rockchip/LINUX/Armbian_rk3318.rar. And then i burn trust.img and uboot.img.

Yes but why your firmware can't be changed the dtb file? I mean unlike amlogic firmware which boot partition is editable in Windows.

[ophub]

amlogic is in fat32 format, so it can. This rockchip uses the ext4 format, which does not support opening.

You can mount and modification under ubuntu/armbian and other systems

sudo losetup -P -f --show openwrt.img
sudo mount /dev/loopxxxp1 xxxx
sudo mount /dev/loopxxxp2 yyyy

Can you edit the dtb with this one please? Maybe it is because dtb. Now i am boot Armbian with this dtb and kernel 6.1.9-rockchip64 on emmc.

[yoelwib11]

I just change dtb by myself but stuck in here. Just reboot and reboot. Can you help me please?

What is the purpose of the rk3328 Armbian you provided? What does this have to do with your H96MAX(rk3318)?

Where did your U-BOOT and DTB come from?

[yoelwib11]

Finally. Thank you so much. I just change base firmware armbian on emmc and flash your openwrt firmware on sdcard, change dtb with wifi on. But it can't show on monitor. Just blank. I don't know why.

[ophub]

Openwrt is configured and managed daily through browser access or ssh access without a monitor. No HDMI output is not supported for DTB files.
