Yes that is correct, while 5.10 kernel will need a legacy format kernel to be used which is kernel side change and not uboot side so newer kernel will work after that change on android bsp uboot.
Yes it is just that we have not got time to work on it yet and there seem to me no major update in 5.10 so maybe we will wait till 5.11-rc.
I get to display manager, but black screen afterwards.
Wait a minute, plasma works, Wayland no.
Hi,
Currently on Testing Branch Xfce-linux 5.9.11-2 kernel. Interested to try Manjaro Gnome Wayland with Panfrost. Have already install mesa-arm-git.
To install Gnome on Manjaro is it just
sudo pacman -S gnome
or
sudo pacman -S gnome-desktop
or are there more packages needed to be installed to have Gnome Wayland running on Manjaro? Is it necessary to remove Xfce to minimise resource usage?
So in the long time, for android boxes, is better to wait for the solution similar to odroid N2, and be able to use dual boot without the need to delete android?
Yes thatâs correct, will try to look into it soon, just want to solve audio issue first on mainline kernel without it getting 5.10 to work will be half the work anyways.
Sorry for jumping right in, but this discussion is really long and I was just hinted to this from the Armbian forum.
Iâve just started looking into installing a Linux distribution on my X96 Air P3 with 4 GB RAM and 64GB eMMC, but as it seems there is a lot of conflicting info around, especially concerning the gigabit ethernet port that is supposedly only working with 100Mbit/s?
Is there any tutorial on how to get started and choose the right image + proper DTB?
The intention is to install to the eMMC and use the box as a small home server exclusively, with Manjaro even better then giving Armbian a try.
Let me look into this device specification and get back to you.
Update.
Amlogic S905X3 it is similar to what @TheMojoMan have been usingâŚ
I will need help from @TheMojoMan @jfl and @tripole
Lets write a details step by step tutorial for amlogic soc.
I will write about the last 3 but the first one is upto @tripole @TheMojoMan as I dont have any S905X3 device and one of you have it so we might need all dtbs which are used for S905X3.
This way to be move thise tutorial to wiki slowly.
Thank you for supporting manjaro arm project, I have been working on a tutorial for using Manjaro with samba over webmin. I excepted virtualmin too but virtualmin is not supported for arch based distro.
For now you can download Vim3 image and change the dtb name in extlinux.conf
I have x96 air P3.
For me, the dtb from the @TheMojoMan works, and even the ones from armbian too. Depending on the kernel I use different dtb to get Ethernet and sound. But what I experience is that every time I install a new kernel I have to start with meson-g12a-sei510.dtb, for be able to boot for the first time, then change the dtb to get Ethernet (no sound in the mainline kernel) or sound on linux-vim.
I have an Ugoos Am6 plus which has the s922x-j SoC. I have written a (small) tutorial before. I will shortly redo the process with the image that you Spikerguy provided, verify that everything works and write an updated and simplified tutorial (since now some of the previous steps have been superseded by recent developments of the Manjaro images).
Edit: Maybe I misunderstood you here, and if you want to write a (generic) set-up instruction for s922x SoCs please do so. There are only some small changes needed specifically for the Ugoos Am6 plus.
Yes I will re-use your tutorial in a single tutorial thread as this thread have become too long for new users to go through.
Thanks for the link.
I have a Tv box: Tanix TX3 S905X3 4GB RAM 32GB ROM 2.4G 5G WiFi Android 9.0 8K TV Box Support VoiceâŚi had install manjaro using Vim3 image succesfully âŚNow i like run manjaro from emmc card of the TV Box⌠For this I had used manjaro-arm-installer but my tv box do not run manjaro from emmcâŚthe tv box do not load. does anyone know how to do this?
I excume for my bad englishâŚmy native language is spanish.
Hello @jbolanosg and welcome to the forum.
Can you share the dtb file you used?
There is emmc installer file already present in the installation. No need for manjaro-arm-installer that is not the right way for Amlogic boards.
Just make sure you take backup of your content of emmc.
start Manjaro with latest image over sd card.
Run this command
sudo /boot/install-aml-emmc.shMake sure your date time is correct before running this command.
Once it show Flasing Manjaro to eMMC Completed then restart the device with sd card inserted and reboot it 2 times with Manjaro on SD card after that you can power off and remove the sd card and power it on with Manjaro on eMMC.
Try this as your own risk as we have not tested this on your device. I or Manjaro Project will not be responsible if you brick your device.
Good Luck.
Tutorial Link Up:
My TV box is bricked in this moment for failed proccess with emmcâŚi am going to recover it using amlogic USB burning toolâŚlater i am going to use the tutorial and comment you as finished.
Edited (Update): I do itâŚMy Tv Box is live other time. The items that i had used are:
Image = Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-vim3-22-11-2020.
dbt file = meson-g12a-sei510.dbt of the image.
Network = ok 100 Mbps.
Wifi = not tested.
sound = not tested.
Login with Desktop session (Plasma -Wayland): Not login.
Login with Desktop session (Plasma): Ok
Later i am going to comment the step of transfer manjaro to emmc.
I had executed the command: sudo /boot/install-aml-emmc.sh and this process failed with follow logs:

This proccess never finished. Someone help me?
Edited: After proccess the USB drive with manjaro installed previously it doesnât work either.
This takes long time depending on the speed of your emmc and sd card.
Did it show flashing complete?
Did you reboot 2 times with sd card inserted?
Hi Tripole,
Not sure is appropriate to ask Non-Manjaro issue here. Understand you have the above Khadas-Vim3 4.9.224 V0.9 20200530
With the Khadas-Vim3-Debian/Ubuntu kernel 4.9.224 V0.9 image were you able to run Ubuntu-Wayland? I could not get Ubuntu-Wayland to start just X11 running. Tried reinstall gdm but still doesnât work and if restart gdm it will give blck screen. Furthermore I could not upgrade to kernel 4.9.232, understand 4.9.232 performance is better.
My issue is unless the GT KING PRO Kernel Panic on Mainline Linux is resolved the Manjaro is basically for testing and learning, waiting for kernel panic issue to resolve. Real work is on the legacy kernel linux. That is the reason seeking assistance to upgrade/update 4.9.224 to 4.9.232 v0.9.3 20200814 and try out Wayland on the legacy kernel. Tried raising the question in Khadas Forum before unfortunately no guidance.
Hope I am not violating any rules here.
Hi JFL,
Sorry, no I donât have that image; I built my own Khadas image (with kernel 5.9.0-rc2) using their image building tool fenix (available on github). If you send me a PM we can take this discussion off line and discuss it further there.
Innocent question, how to do I send you a PM on this forum?
I think it is the way you just did, before you deleted it (so I did not have time to read it through). Doh.
