Experiments with the tv box H96 MAX V58 that runs the new Rockchip RK3588 SoC.

h96_max_v58's Issues

Linux Support

I have one of these. Would love to learn how to flash linux onto it once it's supported in the mainline kernel.

Wifi

Have this box. Wifi doesn't work have flashed every firmware image I can find. Ethernet works for about 5 minutes after firmware installation then drops out doesn't come back online. Desperate for a fix from developer or if anyone else can help.

fyi: extracted firmware dump, etc

Hi, I've been experimenting with this box.

I hope to try collabora's rock5b u-boot on the h96 max v58 soon and see if I can get a modern u-boot booting. It should have USB support so it should be theoretically easy to get something up and running.

I have some notes, and a link to extracted firmware on my notes repo: https://github.com/colemickens/h96-max-v58-investigation

Feel free to close, just wanted to make sure you'd seen it. Maybe we can share notes as we progress.

advice on updating Graphics drivers

So the box is indeed easily rooted with magisk to gain root access and super user, the question is, I las firmware update for this box was Version:20221116.1404 as found at thr following link https://www.h96tvbox.com/firmware-download/

I found a newer firmware then that on some Russian website but didn't find any info on what was updated.

The current GPU driver often gives VK_Lost error. I know Google pixel has a more up to date GPU driver however I am not sure if that will be compatible.

There's also development of drivers etc from the soc at the following

https://github.com/industrialtablet/RK3588-Development-Board/blob/main/RK3588_Update_Firmware.md

Not sure if the driver is any better, I'm not really wellversed when it comes to Android.

Hoping to get some advice.

I recently installed an active pwm fan with controller to this TV box to keep it cooled down and have made it somewhat an emulating machine, it's amazing how it's able to perform pretty good using only 7 Watts in comparison my Ryzen 7 5700G Apu is not as good using igpu and that's with 70watts.

No other community forum exist for this particular TV box, hope to get some support, advice.

I didn't find a discussion channel on this GitHub so my apologies if I should have not posted it as an issue.

Thanks

flashing Mekotronics R58 rom to H96 v58 possible?

Nice research on the H96 V58 RK3588 box, I have this box and although it has the same hardware as Mekotronics R58, it runs at a lower clock speed. I was looking for a custom kernel that allows to set cook speed to the same as the Mekotronics R58. Any infor on this?. I think this box can't be bricked as it has a built in USB flasher.
