X98 Mini - S905W2

[dolaru]

Hello 👋🏽. I've got my hands on an X98 mini box and I'm trying to get a mainline kernel running on it, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable DTB around.

Snooping around the device tree in the Android distribution that came on it I found references to S4 and AP201. and there is a device tree definition for AP201 here.

The mainline kernel seems to have the S4 base.

Any advice on what the next steps would be to get a suitable device tree image built for this box?

Board

@dolaru : I have exactly the same board "BM844_141_V2.3_21305" but 2G/16GB model. "X98 mini" model. My sticker in the middle is "2+16+W522A" then my batch label is "ZF20220830"

I tested successfully with last version "Devmfc_Debian-Bookworm_6.12.11-meson64_Minimal-25.01.24" with the "x96miniw2" or the "s905w2_generic" in the boot.config file.

I didn't test every thing, not yet try to install it onto the emmc.
