Got X96 max+ (2+16G) working with LAN+WIFI but still some confused points #95
Comments
flippy has added the You can test the wireless network with the latest kernel. If you use another Choose the correct firmware. What you choose is the dtb of s905x3, if your box is s905x2, use your own series. I think the solid one comes with it and it can be used. |
@ophub thank you for your quick comment.
I can make sure my box is X96 max + (2G + 16G) with S905x3 CPU.
Yes, I found out the wifi works well with default dtb while running from USB. I also tried to install to eMMC using X96 max + overclock (index 52) but also got the same issue. In summary, I just confused why the box running on USB but unable to boot after installing to eMMC. Is there a way to burn exactly default setting of USB to eMMC without any selection of board? Thank you. |
Mine is s905x3 but it's not the same as yours, are you sure yours is s905x3? If it is a 2G -s905x2, choose 32
|
My box is S905X3 and I already selected 51 without any changes of DTB (don't use DTB from balbes150 anymore) but still got error after booting from eMMC. I have several this box (S905X3 with 2+16G) and I can make sure there is no S905X2. |
Yours is a 100M network?
|
I'm not sure, may be 100M network, only 2.4G wifi, no bluetooth. |
There are several version of X96 max plus (S905X3), this guy also have same version as mine: https://androidtvbox.eu/x96-max-plus2-firmware-for-tv-box-with-s905x3-soc-20200901/ |
There are instructions on your website. yes. your box is

When the 5.10 kernel just came out, because u-boot was easily disturbed when it was booted, adding a resistor could solve this problem. At present this has been automatically resolved by u-boot reload, but this resistor no longer needs to be added. |
So if using the kernel 5.10.91/5.4.172/5.15.14 or later, there is no need to add this resistor anymore, right? |
No need, it's been many generations since 5.10.y, now it's 5.16.y, this was a moment, about the summer of 2020. |
@ophub I've tried the following steps and the box still could not boot from eMMC after running armbian-install: Step 1: Burning the S905x3 images to USB Step 2: Boot from USB with default dtb, the LAN is not recognized Step 3: Edit dtb from uEnv.txt Step 4: after rebooting, the LAN is recognized Step 5: Edit /usr/sbin/armbian-install file as below: Step 6: Run the armbian-install Step 7: Run "shutdown now" command, unplug power, unplug USB Step 8: Replug power. There is no any boot/logo or terminal on screen. So I still confused while the box running well on USB but not work on eMMC. Please give me your suggestion if any. Thank you so much. |
You use the firmware of the
|
@ophub I will try again. |
@ophub I already tried to use 5.4 kernel but still got black screen error after install to eMMC: I also added your suggestion to the script: The strange error message still happend:
|
Can you use the 5.4 kernel to write emmc? That error can be ignored. It is a prompt to clear the current emmc data and labels. It does not affect the use. I will close this unaffected prompt when I update it later. |
After install to eMMC, it is unable to boot from USB again to check whether data from eMMC is consistency or not. It's quite strange again. As before, when I use images from balbe150, it is able to boot from SD card even after installing to eMMC. |
After the installation is completed using armbian-install, you must |
Sure, I always unplug the usb/tf/sd card then reinsert the power supply but still no signal. |
Is it so magical that even 5.4 cannot be written to emmc? that can only be used in usb |
@ophub I just tried to installed your build (5.10.93) to X96 max+ (4G+32G 1Gps) using index 51 and it works well from eMMC. Only X96 max + version 2+16 (100Mps) got issue that unable to boot from eMMC. I also very confused why it happens. Please note that my X96 max+ (2+16, 100Mps) still can boot from eMMC if using Balbes150 image. |
I just confused that you said S905x3 is supported in the latest kernel like 5.10.x or 5.16.x but here why you recommend 5.4 ? |
@ophub Can you help me to make the profile that exactly same as the profile for default USB image of X96 max +? |
Whether it can be started is determined by two files, one is the correct dtb and the other is the correct u-boot. Because the 5.4 kernel only uses dtb, it is recommended that you test with 5.4 to determine which dtb is suitable for your box. Which dtb and u-boot.ext file do you use in the Balbes150 firmware, you can copy and test. |
@ophub so your u-boot is .bin file, right? Is there a way to boot your image from micro SD card? I used to boot Balbes150's image from micro SD card on X96 max +. |
.bin file in the /boot directory In the available boxes, tf/sd/usb/emmc boot is supported |
@ophub There is another strange point that I've tried to boot your firmware from TF card but unable to boot, only could boot from USB 3.0 port. |
It can be used from tf card, my s905x3 x96max+ box is used on tf card. |
@ophub I'd like to give you the summary of the current test for S905X3 X96 max+ (2G+16G + 100Mbp LAN)
Please give me any other suggestions to test if any. I'd like to install the Armbian to eMMC for long time runing. |
dtb: /boot/uEnv.ext meson-sm1-sei610.dtb |
The /boot/u-boot-s905x2-s922.bin is the old one from Balbes150 or new one from Flippy? I'm afraid that if using the old one the issue related to LAN will be occurred again even the box could boot. |
@ophub I've tried your latest build for S905X2 (2G+16G, Realtek card), and got both ethernet and wifi working from USB after using the dtb file from balbes150 (5.7.8)
Armbian_22.02.0_Aml_s905x3_focal_5.4.175_2022.01.30.0137.img.gz
Here is the detail log:

Here are updates board photos:
But the log related to the network adapter is showed continuously. I'm not sure how to disable this log.
By the way, I just confused that you said Realtek has no driver under Armbian but it seems working now with balbes150's dtb.

Could you give me any suggestions for this board?
Thank you.
