[S905X3] X96Air_P2/P3 4/32GB 1Gbit Lan (How to config)

Hi awesome community! Firstly, thanks for all the tips & suggestions I’ve been able to scrape off this thread and many others. As a new user I thought I may contribute by reporting on my newly arrived box from AliExpress It is advertised as 4gb+64gb+1000m and comes up with new version ‘X96Air_100_20201125-2051’. The boot screen was just stuck on the X96 Air screen forever on trying 4gb_1gbit & 2gb_1gbit dtbs. I finally got it to boot by using sm1_s905x3_4g (not 1gbit) dtb! On testing lan speed…

This guy got a version with 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, 2,4GHz and 5GHz, BT, but only a 100MB Lan. Perhaps his findings and a comparision of the pcb can help you.
