Mecool-M8S-PRO-L(s912) can be used normally

[parkjw0117]

Hello!
I'd like to make my own armbian-install selection list.
I'm using M8S PRO LB(gxm-q201.dtb).
I'm re-naming gxm-q201.dtb to t95z.dtb and running armbian-install with t95z option.
Is there any way to add my device?

is this device? There is no need to change the name of dtb. When you update in the future, there will be an error in the new kernel without the dtb you renamed. You publish your test results. If you have a definite plan for testing, you can add a fixed option to the installation list.

Provide your information:
Which firmware are you using?
Device name?
soc model?
dtb name?
u-boot name?
support for 5.4/5.15 kernel?
support for writing emmc?

cat /etc/ophub-release

[parkjw0117]

Provide your information:
Which firmware are you using?

• armbian 22.02
  Device name?
• MECOOL M8S PRO L
  soc model?
• S912
  dtb name?
• meson-gxm-q201.dtb
  u-boot name?
• u-boot-s905x-s912
  support for 5.4/5.15 kernel?
• yes
  support for writing emmc?
• yes

Recently, I'm going to upgrade from 22.02 to 22.05, but when I boot from sdcard, not booting.
Same method as 22.02, but no boot.
Can you help me this one, too?

Ok, I'll add one for you later, can the wireless and bluetooth of this device be driven?
Is the wired network card fast or gigabit?

[parkjw0117]

fast(100Mb) ethernet.
BT and WiFi is not working.
Thank you!

@parkjw0117 could you help me?? what version of armbian did you use? what is the dtb?? what is the procedure to boot from the pen?

Sorry for late reply,
Works normally with latest version, Armbian_23.08.0_amlogic_s912-m8s-pro_lunar_6.1.55_server_2023.10.02.img
dtb is meson-gxm-q201.dtb
My method to boot from pen is via terminal, "reboot sdcard"

[parkjw0117]

thanks for your test and feedback, i'll put you on the contributor list

Works perfectly with Armbian_23.08.0_amlogic_s912-m8s-pro_lunar_6.1.55_server_2023.10.02.img
Furthermore, WiFi is working.

Possible to have this modified .dtb file <meson-gxm-q201.dtb> to make the wifi on my MECOOL M8S PRO L working properly currently only Ethernet LAN active.

Information of firmware being used now is:
armbian v25.2.0 for Aml.S912 running Armbian Linux 6.6.67-ophub
Device name : MECOOL M8S PRO L
soc model : S912
dtb name : meson-gxm-q201.dtb
u-boot name: u-boot-s905x-s912
support for 5.4/5.15 kernel : yes
support for writing emmc: yes

when I check on my system with typing command:
root@armbian:~# nmcli radio
WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN
missing enabled missing enabled

I seen on this forum the information that you had added on the dtb file is working for other member to use.
Please help with many thanks
