This section explains how to most easily identify your device. For a development board, explain the name(s) printed on the board. For an android device, find out the strings as reported under settings.

On the back of the device, the following is printed:

TT TV BOX
MODEL: X96Q
DC IN: 5V - 2.0A
RAM: 2G
ROM: 16G
CE, FCC, RoHS, Made in China

The PCB has the following silkscreened on it:

BA301-141 V3.0 20162

In android, under Settings->About Tablet, you will find:

Model Number: X96Q
Build Number: X96Q_20200721-1536

Sunxi support

Current status

Give a brief overview of the current status of support under sunxi here.

Images

Optional. Add MANUFACTURER DEVICE specific sunxi ROM images here. E.g. a livesuit image or some other linux image which uses linux-sunxi code. Do not put non-sunxi images here, they should live under See also. If no sunxi based images are available, this section can be removed.

HW-Pack

Optional. Add MANUFACTURER DEVICE sunxi HW-pack specifics here. When empty, this section can be removed.

BSP

Optional. Add MANUFACTURER DEVICE sunxi BSP specifics here. When empty, this section can be removed.

Manual build

You can build things for yourself by following our Manual build howto and by choosing from the configurations available below.

U-Boot

Sunxi/Legacy U-Boot

Use the MANUFACTURER_DEVICE build target.

Mainline U-Boot

Use the MANUFACTURER_DEVICE build target.

Linux Kernel

Sunxi/Legacy Kernel

Use the MANUFACTURER_DEVICE.fex file.

Mainline kernel

Use the FAMILY-CHIP-DEVICE.dtb device-tree binary.

Tips, Tricks, Caveats

Add MANUFACTURER DEVICE specific tips, tricks, Caveats and nice to have changes here.

FEL mode

The something button triggers FEL mode.

Device specific topic

If there are no further device specific topics to add, remove these sections.

...

Adding a serial port (voids warranty)

X96Q UART pads

This section explains how to attach a serial port to the device. Make sure it refers to our UART howto. For a development board, you can just mention how to find the header with the pins and include a picture, and you can remove the warranty voiding warning.

Device disassembly

There are not screws securing the lid. Pry the bottom lid with a plastic tool. There are 2 locks on each of the sides. Inside there are 3 screws holding the PCB on the top side of the box.

Locating the UART

RX,TX,GND signals are easy to locate as they are marked at the bottom of the board. The pin pitch is unfortunately 2.0mm, so 2.54mm header cannot be used. The device communicates on 115200baud, The logic signals uses 3.3V level.
For general information about serial communication see the UART howto.
