X96 Max: hardware findings
TO COMPLETE
A box listed as 4 GB / 32 GB. The findings below come from measurements under Linux.
| Listing | 4 GB / 32 GB |
|---|---|
| Identified SoC | Amlogic S905W |
| RAM seen by Linux | 1 GB |
| System | Armbian (ophub) on USB SSD, booted from an SD card |
Findings
- The SoC identified under Linux is an S905W, as reported by
/proc/cpuinfo. - Linux sees 1 GB of RAM. RAM chips are soldered to the back of the board; an attempt to enable them is documented separately.
- The boot memory (boot0, boot1 and the complete eMMC) was backed up before any operation.
Caution. These findings can be checked against the measurements above. They name no seller and no platform.
Evidence
TODO(nico): provide /proc/cpuinfo, free -h, the capture of the listing (identifiers masked) and the exact Armbian install command.
