The Pineriver H24 was most commonly sold as the Mini-X, and earlier versions came with 512MB RAM while later ones came with 1GB. This version was prone to overheating, and the case was redesigned, and then sold as the Mini XPlus.

There have been many clones with different internals. Some with also an A10 inside (sometimes called MK805 or G1-TV), but some come with A10s (G1-TV-A10s or Semitime_g1_a10s) or A20. When these hit our community, they should be documented separately. There's even a Jesurun device called MT Box which has a Rockchip in it.

There is also a company called Minix. There is no relationship with pineriver and the devices are a different formfactor.

Manual build

512MiB

  • For building u-boot, use the "Mini-X" target.
  • The .fex file can be found in sunxi-boards as mini-x.fex

Everything else is the same as the manual build howto.

1GiB

  • For building u-boot, use the "Mini-X-1Gb" target.
  • The .fex file can be found in sunxi-boards as mini-x-1gb.fex

Everything else is the same as the manual build howto.

Mainline kernel

Use the sun4i-a10-mini-xplus.dts device-tree file for the mainline kernel.

AV connector pinout

Tips, Tricks, Caveats

FEL mode

Pads for a button are present, but is not populated. You will have to trigger FEL mode through serial.

AV connector

You will need a special cable for the AV-connector.

Adding a serial port (voids warranty)

UART pads

Device disassembly

Remove the two screws at the back, and the board should slide out easily.

Locating the UART

There are two pads right next to the SoC, just swap your lines until you have identified RX and TX, as described in the UART howto.
