Manjaro arm on Amlogic Tv box?

OK noted.

That would be great if we have a new thread for X96 Max+, I think everything is almost perfect, except for Blutooth and Audio Jack.

For H96 Max RK3399 I have made the thread, but still merged with Rockchip Topic. Everything is running perfectly, except bluetooth. I am waiting a cavalry to help to fix this.

Maybe it can help someone with H96 Max RK3399, please refer to the link above.

As far as I know, android dtb is not working with mainline kernel. Unless there’s somebody that is skillfull to upgrade the code from kernel 4.9x to the mainline kernel. Therefore please stick with the @TheMojoMan dtb for X96 Max+.

In case you had a problem with booting after upgrade from linux-vim 20.12 to the latest stable release, I have backup of my boot partition and I can confirm that it works flawlessly without the problem that I mentioned above in discussion number 767. Here it is:

Based on my experience, sometimes an upgrade cause the box failed to boot. Therefore I would advise to make backup of the boot partition. In my case I make backup of the working unstable image. Therefore when it comes to the problem from stable release, I just need to restore my backup boot partition. Copy all files, except for “image” and “image.gz” use from your current update that failed to boot. With this workaround you will be able to boot to your box. I used @TheMojoMan method and his latest dtb for mainline but by box still cannot boot, until I came up with this workaround and the problem is solved event by using the old dtb. Just to let you know that I did this backup workaround on Armbian as well and my box never failed to boot.

This X96 Max+ box comes with three variants:

  • 2gb / 16gb
  • 4gb / 32gb
  • 4gb / 64gb

The device tree for 2gb/16gb and 4gb/64gb is different, I don’t know about the 4gb/32gb because mine is the 4gb/64gb.
