FYI
runs stable with new kernel ‘linux-aml 5.12.0.1’ and meson-sm1-x96-air-1000.dtb.
dmesg | grep Amlogic
[ 3.331943] soc soc0: Amlogic Meson SM1 (S905X3) Revision 2b:c (10:2) Detected
but still
No-soundcard, no-wifi, no-bluetooth
I still guess, that the used uboot is not the right for the box. LibreElec 10 starts w/o an uboot-file. Perhaps the Kernel includes an uboot, I don’t know.
Perhaps this is an approach @spikerguy ?
EDIT:
I can’t stop thinking about the no-soundcard-problem and for testing purposes I installed successfull ubuntu on my X96AIR with:
dl.khadas.com - Index of /Firmware/VIM3/Ubuntu/SD_USB/
https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/VIM3/Ubuntu/SD_USB/VIM3_Ubuntu-gnome-focal_Linux-5.12_arm64_SD-USB_V1.0.6-210520.img.xz
Same Kernel as Manjaro ARM , so I used ‘meson-sm1-x96-air-1000.dtb’ from manjaro installation.
**-Ubuntu don’t use extlinux.conf and no u-boot.ext.
Simply rename the meson-sm1-x96-air-1000.dtb to dtb.img.
and the box boot with ubuntu 20.04LTS only on Wayland !
Kernel Linux 5.12.0 (aarch64)
Version #1.0.6 SMP Thu May 20 18:44:42 CST 2021
C Library GNU C Library / (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.2) 2.31
Distribution Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
The board is also detected as ‘Amlogic Meson SM1 (S905X3) Revision 2b:c (10:2) Detected’
BUT HERE, TOO: NO-SOUNDCARD, NO-WIFI, NO-BLUETOOTH.
Conclusion: I would say, the problem is not the u-boot.ext , the problem is the meson-sm1-x96-air-1000.dtb
EDIT2: UPDATE my box has working HDMI-Sound thanks @TheMojoMan
‘meson-sm1-x96maxplus-100M-vim.dtb’, s.a.
Plz keep in mind that you have to rename the .dtb to meson-sm1-x96-max-plus-100-vim2.dtb to keep the starting system in working order
Both kernels are working
- linux-vim 5.12.1-1
- linux-aml 5.12.0-1
still no-wifi , no-BT but I can live w/o it.
Next optimization should be the video graphic system. Both FF or CHROMIUM create a high cpuload. OpenGL 3.1 Mesa 21.1.1. is installed.
Are there some advices to use the hardware acceleration?
I’ve installed mesa-git as described here:

@themojoman how can I enable or set the Acceleration to YES?
