None, take the network
Can you check any of these images (all dtb g12) ? I'm only interested in the wired network.

Yes, the build with the night of yesterday:

image 20190701 for AMLGX (s905 s905x s912). working good for copy to eMMC
New image versions 20190709 for AMLGX (s905 s905x s912) not working for copy to eMMC
What model of TV box ? What is DTB ? I checked on VIM1 VIM2 to make a copy and the installation work correctly. I found a problem with recovery (the process does not complete).
What more data can you use to facilitate the work?
Have you tried the nightly build of LE ?

DTB: meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb
Try all DTB options g12*.

New image versions 20190709 for AMLGX (s905 s905x s912).
Changes.
Kodi update 18.3.
Kernel update 5.1.15.
Fixed update script.
Added scripts for creating and restoring a full backup of the entire eMMC on external media.
Added LE installation script to eMMC.
Please note that these are test scripts and they may contain errors. For those who have the opportunity, please check the operation of these modes. The start of these functions are performed through the GUI menu Libreelec-Settings-eMMC.

How can one determine what ethernet chip is in the device?
Try to check the operation of the wired network to a nightly build AMLG12. It uses the old kernel version and there will be no sound.

The function of install in eMMC is still under testing. If you want , at your own risk try it. ssh is not needed, all operations are performed through a graphical interface (Меню Libreelec Setings -> eMMC). Before installation, make sure to perform a full backup of the eMMC (you can use the appropriate item). The time to create a full copy depends on the type of external media and the size of the data in the eMMC. On Ugoos AM6 , when using a good USB 3.0 flash drive , I have a full copy created in 7 minutes. On older media, this may take 20-30 minutes. After the copy or installation is complete, the system automatically shuts down.

There's no need to panic. Now there is a transition to a new version of the image build process. Naturally, during the transition period there are temporary errors that will be eliminated in the future. You can consider it General cleaning and capital repairs when throw out all old stuff and bring an order in the house. Previously, the compiling, uploading of test samples to the site was performed by each developer independently (it takes a lot of time and resources). This process is now centralized and test builds become nightly builds. It automatiseret the build process and publish images. Developers no longer need to spend a lot of their time on routine operations and will be able to focus on improving the code and fixing bugs. Advice to normal users. Do not listen to the screams of those who deliberately inflate panic and hysteria in order to harm the development of LE in every way to please their personal interests.

If it is really gigabit ethernet, can you find ethernet phy chip? Usually it's realtek one. DT, which I extracted from Android image, says TX6 has RMII interface which would suggest 100 Mbit ethernet.
It was sent to me as Gigabit, but now I carefully examined it , there 100Mbit.
By the way, you saved my TX6 from the trash where I wanted to send it (I only need Linux-enabled devices).
-
Both, but needed kernel changes are currently part of OrangePi 3 patch set which you can find on one of various kernel mailing list. However, OrangePi 3 doesn't need those changes, because it has gigabit ethernet.
The passport on the TX6 indicates that it
1000 (Gigabyte)It turns out there 100Mb network. -
By the way, I opened the TX6 case and found that there was a stupidity with the orientation of the radiator and the main Board, they stand upside down from the correct position. Unfortunately this has become a trend for many TV boxes, the idiotic arrangement of the component upside down (radiator down). Apparently engineers in China do not know the laws of physics. I threw out the bottom cover of the case and turned the rest of the case up with the radiator. Now, when working TX6 heats up significantly less.

ethernet should be easy to fix once I get my box.
BTW, this and other H6 STBs seem to be made as cheap as possible. They lack some of features present on H6 SBCs, like proper power management, gigabit ethernet and better RAM (I think DDR3 is the cheapest supported RAM type). However, you get enclosure, remote and AC adapter.
SBCs also usually use WiFi modules which are better supported in Linux.For a wired network need fixes in DTS or even in the kernel ?
Thanks to you, I have the opportunity to add a version of Armbian for TV boxes based on H6.

Tried the new image. Audio is working. However, cannot play any video and cannot change resolution. The list of available resolutions now includes up to 4k, but if I try to select 1920x1080p for example, the screen blacks out for some seconds, then comes back at the old resolution (which is now defaulting to 720x480p @60hz). Also when playing a video, the same happens, screen blacks out for a long time and have to press remote buttons to get the screen back.
Also, notice crackling coming from TV during boot and 4k resolutions above 30hz are not available.I may be wrong, but it looks like you have a problem with your TV or HDMI cable. I checked the latest image, video and sound work without problems. The resolution changes as needed. Maybe your TV is not giving EDID data correctly. I'm Additionally tested the TV to 4K. Not once turned to start the system. At the first start, the TV did not detect the signal (perhaps when using the SD card after the first start on the TV with 1080p on the SD card, the parameters of the detected TV are recorded). I completely turned off the TV and TX6 and turned it on again. LE started and correctly detected the maximum resolution of 4096x2160 supported TV. The interface itself switched to 4K. Test video with different resolutions 480 720 1080 works without problems with HW. Sound works without interference on 4K TV.
4K video itself has distortion (the picture is scattered on a set of green squares), the sound works.

Tried the last image on TX6. Described problems with video not found. I have no problem working video and sound at 1080p. I tried to switch the resolution to 720p, everything switched and works without problems.
jernej Excellent work.
Now there is not enough only wired network for normal use of TX6.
PS Write if you need to perform any more checks.

The new version 20190614.
Please note that the preparation of the transition to the new kernel 5.x in the main LE build system (which is used to build the official versions of LE) has begun. At this time, I plan to release only "arm" versions (without the aarch64 version). New versions may contain errors that were not present in the previous test images (the build system is significantly rebuilt). After debugging the new build process, nightly builds should start working and new images should appear on the official download resource. After that, I plan to resume building versions of aarch64.

Sorry for the delay with the tests. Broke one of the SSD on which the Armbain build for one of the supported platforms worked, I was engaged in restoration of armbian build system instead of H6 tests.
-
Zip file attached with 3 files - u-boot.bin, bl31.bin and u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin h6_uboot.zip
Post #31 (link here:- Tanix TX6) on this thread details how the compile environment was set up. Only took a couple of minutes to download the repository and checkout.Thanks for the files.
Within the next few days I will try to check my assumptions and write the result.

"intentionally spread fakes": Where and what exactly? I only pointed to your (wrong) speculations.
Some of the users (who are not familiar with the communication style of CE apologists) may have believed it ....
Company makes big profit from other people's work and they can't send few samples? Only one! If they are serious they should send few samples. And not "lot of samples"
Rhetorical question. If you have a working system for a similar model (N2), adding support for King is such a difficult task that it requires the creation of the whole system and the kernel again (requires a lot of work of all CE specialists) ?
How did you calculated or measure exactly 40%? So others can repeat the tests.
Please refrain from speculating about something you obviously know nothing about. Your conclusion is grossly inaccurate.
As to you comment on the N2 cooling, you can put forward any amount of theories as to why it wont work - but the real world empirical evidence says it does - and this has been demonstrated to you on numerous occasions. If you want to drive it hard as you suggest - turn it over mount a 12V 4inch fan run at 5V (a very simply DIY job) and you will achieve a steady below 50 Cent temps under any load.
Meanwhile the VIM3 which you are advocating as a better product will sit at over 60 Centigrade in normal use and much higher in active use simply because it has NO COOLING. The VIM3 in stock form is on a fast track to burnup - now that is bad design.If you are not ready to read the essence of what is written, it is not my problem.
I don't see the point in wasting my time on idle chatter with the deaf , I'd rather spend that time doing useful work. For reference, I have a real sample of N2, which I intensively tested in different modes. Together with the HK developers, I did a useful job of improving the N2's user experience (developing and testing direct booting systems from USB, which should soon be published for General use). And I continue to develop Armbian and LE for N2.
p.s. I'm not interested in communicating with you.
