Hello. Thank you for your reply. In Ubuntu, I installed zfs as a kernel module by doing these commands: sudo apt install dkms -y sudo apt install zfs-dkms --no-install-recommends -y sudo apt install zfsutils-linux -y The contents of dkms packages had to be compiled. So, I saw installations of GNU C compiler, "make" and related toolchain packages, and saw source code being compiled on my monitor. Hm, that was interesting. Is the "fuse" edition of zfs that you installed any different or slower than non-fuse zfs?

Could you please help me with a link or forum where I can find the image? I'd really appreciate your reply. I saw videos on YouTube showing how to make them work, but the download links are all broken. Thank you so much for your help.

I have stopped working with the box, since mine failed, and the Raspberry Pi zero is cheap again. The last old image was working well before my box failed, the S805 was no longer supported when I started using it. I had bought it for $1 at a hamfest as a project to figure them out.

Generally debugging is done through the UART connector: https://debug.armbian.de/

I would first suggest that you read this post: That may give you lots of reasons why you shouldn't depending on what your goals are. Installing armbian on a TV Box depends on the TV Box. Each CPU has differing levels of support (from none to fairly well supported in mainline linux). And then given there are hundreds of different TV Boxes, each will have different sets of working/non-working features depending on a variety of factors. As far as supporting a USB audio device, it shouldn't be any different than support for the device on any other linux platform/distribution. On Armbian you may need to install the linux-firmware-full package to get the driver support as by default Armbian ships with a slimed down set of firmware support.

Thank you!

Hello, how are you? With all due respect, could someone help me get an Armbian image for my TV box with an Amlogic S805 processor? Thank you very much.

Hey, I have a Banana PI M3 root@192.168.178.193's password: _ _ _ /_\ _ _ _ __ | |__(_)__ _ _ _ / _ \| '_| ' \| '_ \ / _` | ' \ /_/ \_\_| |_|_|_|_.__/_\__,_|_||_| v25.5.1 for Banana Pi running Armbian Linux 6.12.30-current-sunxi Packages: Ubuntu stable (noble) IPv4: (LAN) 192.168.178.193 (WAN) 87.160.68.42 Performance: Load: 20% Up time: 26 min Memory usage: 11% of 959M CPU temp: 47°C Usage of /: 5% of 29G Commands: Configuration : armbian-config Monitoring : htop I installed the latest image, since I had trouble to boot my old configuration. After I installed it at my TV for debuging I just saw the first boot-sequence until usually the ubuntu-boot starts in a new screen. There came no screen an the device was not available via ssh or ping. - So I decided to check the SD-Card in my ubuntu laptop. There were errrors which have been fixed. Afterwards I had still the same black screen after boot-prompt. So I was sure copied all of my files via nautilus and thought, why not starting from beginning. So I installed the latest image. - This image bootet perfect. There were a screen and I installed the user and admin credentials. - After a system update unfortunately I have the same black-screen after boot-prompt. The device is avaliable via ssh. So if we have to do debuging there is no chance without HDMI... So I think it is essential to solve this issue... @Igor Unfortunately the problem has to get solved, even when just one person is doing the HDMI-stuff. But if we don't get it resloved I see no debug-possiblities anymore if there is no ssh! - So w

the kernel I'm using now is 6.12.35, the kernel that failed was 6.12.20 until 6.12.30 the lcd didn't work, but after a few updates to 6.12.30 it worked again.

I believe you are likely going to struggle with that approach. But I think before you ask us maybe you should say first why you chose the platform that you are considering. If it is "that is the cheapest I could find" then you might have heard about the saying "buy cheap, buy twice".

Oh right, that is fairly old. My USB sticks are not in exFat format which may explain why I have not encoutered such issues. I will have to try re-formatting one as exFat to see if encounter the same kind of issue. That said after a bit of digging, it could be related to this? https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2025-22036/

That is a wise thing to do and might be a good default for armbian to adopt.

Hi All, I stumbled on this group after finding Rocket Streaming Audio Server that is either Windows or Linux. My application desire is to use a cheap Android TV box and connect a USB audio input device, and stream it live to a weblink. So, being completely new to this group (not new to AndroidTV boxes), would Armbian running on a cheap TV box support a USB on-the-go audio device? Or any reason it would or wouldn't? Then, next, I haven't read every piece of info on how to convert the boxes, but I read some general info on other sites. Is the mod terribly difficult? Do they all require physical mods? THANK YOU!

OK, can you do the following for me, please, to be sure this is properly fixed? Kindly share the console output for me to have a look at. sudo apt reinstall wireless-regdb dpkg -S /lib/firmware/regulatory.db* Then reboot and see if your problem remains fixed. For now, I suggest you keep the wireless-regdb-2025.02.20.tar.xz file around on the NanoPi in case you need it again.

This is nothing new, its Windows related issue. Probably had something with the drivers. But ultimately I just use a older windows version, I had a machine running a Windows 10 1809 LTSC and for some reason it works there. One thing that also works is using a ubuntu live CD and using the upgrade_tool for rockchip.

Ur welcome.

Thank you c0rnelius, this was the solution ! Now the flashdrive is listed again Regards Bernd
