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.
macchese Addons are not a problem, if H5 port is built from LE master (with additional H5 modifications). However, I'm not sure which URL current test image is using.
Regarding HDMI CEC, I really don't know what's wrong here. New driver approach, which works very well with other SoCs, doesn't work here at all. Old approach works as bad as with other SoCs. I will need to take a look at that again at some point, but additional issue I noticed is that there was sporadic Kodi crash. It may be due to a hack in mali driver. I would rather wait for lima to become fully usable, before merging H5 port in LE master.
Plus2e not found
So, we must install fresh images? What difference this image and older images?
ah, sorry, that's an oversight. I'll ask to add it.
Differences? Newer Kodi, newer Linux, plenty of other updated packages, wifi fixed for Broadcom modules (OrangePi Win, Bananapi M2+ and Beelink X2). Soon there will be stability fixes for HDMI detection and faster boot times.
