ukmark62 I extracted Android DTB and decompile it. You can find it here: http://sprunge.us/ulpcla Don't worry, at least 90% of info there won't be needed.
Regarding UART, yes, that should do it. Just be careful not to fry anything when you're probing for possible RX/TX/GND pins.
ukmark62 First of all, I suggest you find serial port on the board and connect it. Maybe you can find how-to on the internet or you'll have to do it hard way to find it by yourself. I'm sure correct settings for it are 115200 8N1 (I haven't seen different settings on any AW board/box).
Then we'll need DTB from Android. There might be way to extract it from running system, but I usually extract it from Android update file.
These two steps are pre-requirement for later U-Boot and Linux configuration and testing.
ukmark62 At least someone started on supporting DDR3 here: https://github.com/apritzel/u-boot/commits/eachlink-h6-mini-wip So we would need just find the bugs and fix them.
Hopefully you will be able to confirm what type of ram is installed.
Search for K4B4G0446Q tells that this is DDR3L. Note that there is no software difference between DDR3 and DDR3L, later just uses lower voltage power. Anyway, are you up for the task of adding support for new RAM type? I can help you, but obviously I don't have such board to test changes.
any updates with hyperion/screengrabber on h3?
Sadly, no. It's not high on my TODO list and nobody else is interested in writing the driver for that.
Is there a way I can tell which type of RAM is installed?
Only by opening the box and check markings on RAM chips. I found this Tanix TX6 TV Box - Allwinner H6 4/32GB Dual WiFi BT4.1 or 5 - FreakTab where board has certainly DDR3 RAM, which is not yet supported. You might get lucky, since manufacturers now and then change RAM, but I wouldn't count on that. So this is the biggest issue, because there is no documentation at all how to configure RAM. Current approach is to reverse engineer blobs provided by Allwinner.
Also, would I have to create a dtb file? I'd need help with that.
Yes. No problem, I can help, but that's the easy part.
How much work is involved in adding support for the Tanix TX6 Allwinner H6 device?
If it uses LPDDR3 RAM type then it's not that hard, matter of writing few configuration files. Confirm first that it indeed uses LPDDR3 RAM and then I'll guide you through the process. If it's not LPDDR3, then it's much harder since you have to support new RAM type in U-Boot H6 DRAM driver, but I can help you there too.
Issue, when only one resolution was listed (1024x768) and no HDMI audio, should be fixed in next nightly. Boot time should be also quicker for 3 seconds.
I cant find Nightly image for Orange Pi 3 on H6 chip.
Does anyone have it?
It isn't listed in supported boards, so no.
Are there any future plans as for H3 WiFi?
There is no such thing as H3 WiFi. Boards with Ampak (Broadcom) modules have working WiFi, but Realtek modules are not supported and I'm not sure they will be, unless there is upstream driver for them in Linux kernel. No LE developer wants to deal with out-of-tree Realtek drivers. However, if someone prepares and publishes community image with those drivers, I'm fine with that (community images -> not supported by LE team).
No option for WIRELESS network.
Read limitations mentioned in same post you found link for download.
how can i disable the internal wifi so the usb dongle will work?
you don't need to.
What usb devices are supported for networking?
I tried to enable all of them in kernel, but I maybe miss something. Just stay away from Realtek. Small number of Realtek devices is supported, but better to select almost anything else.
1. A video which had been converted from MJPEG (webcam) with the following parameters:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -crf 20 -preset slow -vf hqdn3d -vf normalize -b:a 256k output.mp4
If I understand your mediainfo file correctly, it's 4:4:4 which won't work for now. I'm not sure if this is HW limitation or just not supported at this point in driver.
2. The second one was converted from MPEG4 to HEVC1 with default parameters. After trying to play it, the sound starts to play and the system immediately reboots.
HEVC driver is not stable yet, but I'll add your sample to my test collection.
beelink wifi not working
There are two possible wifi modules for Beelink X2, Broadcom (Ampak) or Realtek. Only Broadcom based wifi works, Realtek based won't work for forseable future. You can open your box to check which one you have.
Wetek Plar2 support has ended.
wrong topic?
Just compiled new image for Orange Pi One
How well does it work?
If you'd like, open new topic with community image for this board. Otherwise this post will get lost (or not, now that's on first page).
noblock interesting! Does it crash with mesa too? Will you take a look? even though I helped with H6 DRAM code, I still don't know much about it.
