# Tanix TX92

Amlogic S912

## debian-on-amlogic

https://github.com/devmfc/debian-on-amlogic works for me by uncommenting `box=s912_generic_gigabit` in `boot.config` as the ONLY change needed.

__Works!__

## amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt

OpenWrt on Amlogic, Allwinner, and Rockchip devices. Even has support for the built-in displays:

But is there an X11 server for it?

## amlogic-s9xxx-armbian

Armbian on Amlogic, Allwinner, and Rockchip devices. Even has support for the built-in displays:

## Velvet OS

This seems to be another option:

## X11/Panfrost

There is `/sys/bus/platform/drivers/panfrost` but it is unclear whether this means that GPU acceleration will work.

The following gives a working X11 but performance is not great so I doubt this is all there is to it:

```
Section "OutputClass"
        Identifier "Amlogic"
        MatchDriver "meson"
        Driver "modesetting"
        Option "PrimaryGPU" "true"
EndSection
```

## Armbian Community

As of 2/2026 does not work for me; `Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.357_Aml-s9xx-box_forky_current_6.18.7_minimal.img.xz`

```
nano armbi_boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf  # Select meson-gxm-q200.dtb - is this correct?
cp armbi_boot/u-boot-s905x-s912 armbi_boot/u-boot.ext
```

Stalls after "Starting kernel ..."
