Get armbian working on my h96 pro plus tv box (green pcb ver)

Hardware Specs:

• soc: amlogic s912
• memory: 3gb ddr4
• ethernet: RTL8211F
• wifi: Fn-link 8223A-SR (QCA9377)

Fix Wifi/Bluetooth/HDMI Audio:

With meson-gxm-q200.dtb included in armbian we can boot armbian just ok but there is no wifi/bluetooth/hdmi audio, so I created meson-gxm-q200-mod.dtb that fixes these problems.
Source code can be found in amlogic_dts/, run build.sh to build dtb file. The actual modification can be viewed in amlogic_dts/h96_pro_plus.patch.
Also we need some firmware that exists in mainline linux firmware repo but ignored by armbian build system. copy lib-firmware/* to <ARMBIAN_ROOT>/lib/firmware/.

What works and what does't:

Working:

• Wifi
• Ethernet
• Bluetooth
• HDMI
• HDMI Audio & SPDIF
• IR Remote
• OpenGL & Hardware Video Decoding

Not Tested:

• AV Out

Known Problems:

OpenGL can be enabled via Panfrost. Hardware video decoding is available if firmware in lib-firmware/meson/vdec are present. However there are some tearing while playing videos, not sure if it is a problem with panfrost or x11 settings.

Use stock IR remote control

We need ir-keytable and a proper keymap file to use stock remote control.

• Install ir-keytable. sudo apt install ir-keytable
• Backup /etc/rc_maps.cfg: mv /etc/rc_maps.cfg /etc/rc_maps.cfg.bak
• Copy ir-remote/rc_maps.cfg into /etc/
• Copy ir-remote/alfawise_h96pp into /etc/rc_keymaps/
• Reboot

If you don't want to turn off the system from remote control, edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf and add HandlePowerKey=ignore
