Thanks for the reply @hexdump , the thing I don't understand is that in the thread I mentioned in my first message to this thread : the person claims to have successfully installed the OS on the internal eMMC on my very same box. Why running from eMMC wouldn't be possible on mine? What I am afraid of is that maybe there is some information / log which might be important in the outputs I provided in my pictures in the first message which I fail to recognize. About the message from @SteeMan I don't understand what he means by "and patch and apply it to a newer u-boot and build a newer u-boot"... In the /boot/build-u-boot/readme.txt file the instructions only have 3 different u-boots possible (s905x, s905x2 and s905x3) and all of them are like "git clone, run make" and that's it. Could you please be more explicit in what I should do or point me to some useful documentation? Thanks a lot for your help.

Sounds to me like a bad SD card. If you get a splash screen there must be some sort of bootloader. Another possibility is an inadequate power supply. Try one with more amps.

This build has disabled ffmpeg, I don't know it is possible to build with it for wayland client. I recommend x11 client because it is the most usable client with the most features. FreeRDP developers is developing a new sdl client for all platforms: linux, mac, wayland, x11, but that is still at an early stage. If you run xfreerdp, make sure to use gfx:AVC444 so that server sends h264 stream to you, then freerdp will use ffmpeg to decode it. You can check /proc/mpp_service/ to see if mpp hardware decoder is used. But don't expect the cpu will be extremely low, freerdp is decoding two avc420 streams and then combine them into one yuv444 frame, and then use cpu to convert yuv444 to rgb, then render it to x11, hardware decoder can only off-load few of the cpu load.

Not sure whether is specific to Opi5-Plus, on Arch Linux mpv-0.40.0 somehow also did not support --hwdec=v4l2request as such had to resort to the mpv-full-git which supports --hwdec=v4l2request. Debian-Trixie's repo mpv-0.40.0 also doesn't seems to support --hwdec=v4l2request.

Network is 1G LAN. I have already built Moonlight with ffmpeg/rkmpp hwacc and it works amazing. Can anyone advice if I can do the same, building the FreeRDP client with hwacc? CC:@amazingfate (I know u know how to do it ;) )

I had the same problem when trying this directly on my Banana PI M5. But when I connected from my notebook via ssh everything worked fine and I could create the root and user password. Afterwards login was also possible directly on the machine.

Hi, I guess this happens because of the "-x" option in rsync which tells rsync to not cross the filesystem hierarchy. /var/log is typically a mount (/dev/zram1) so it will not be synced.

I suggest booting from µSD and then making a copy of eMMC to somewhere and reinstall after that. You can then restore whatever you need from your eMMC backup. Most likely that will be vastly less headache and much higher chances of success.

@pochopsp - as you contacted me via message directly, let me respond here: i can only repeat what @SteeMan already said - you can either do your own research and experiments if you get some newer u-boot built and working (which will be a lot of learning and effort and can also fail in the end) or you accept that running from emmc will not work on your box and continue to use an sd card (which should work nearly as good as running from internal storage) - there is no easy tutorial to get it working, either it works out of the box (as the box is closer to one of the supported and tested ones) or you have to find your own way to get it working with those tv boxes ...

Can I just follow the Debian rescue chroot tutorial ? (with appropriate partitions) https://wiki.debian.org/RescueLive

"Regular" mpv coming in Debian Bookworm works perfectly fine, as Bullseye did also. There should be no need for custom mpv builds, unless some features have been removed.

The rsync instruction copies the files using an exclude list. However that list does not explain why folders other than /var/log/journal are missing in /var/log. # cat /usr/lib/armbian-install/exclude.txt /boot/* /dev/* /proc/* /sys/* /media/* /mnt/* /run/* /tmp/* /ddbr/* /var/log/journal

mainline support for rk3588 is still incomplete. If you need vpu stuff mostly work you need to use vendor kernel which is based on rockchip bsp.

Should be resolved

HI. We cannot support 3rd party images, therefore please refrain from asking further questions about other images. Though Armbian should work just fine with this board. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ There are some pitfalls that might cause issue. This board comes with a spi flash memory which, when containing a poor/bad boot loader, can prevent proper boot of any OS. In this case rkdevtool might be necessary to erase via USB if possible.

It would be great, if you could post results of all your findings here, so that someone else could save a few hours on this problem and rather spend them on another one;)

Well I'm glad you found a way to get what you really needed and now have something that works : )

Many thanks for the reply! Good news is that with your guideline and a bit more information from qwen-code, I managed to chroot to it. It's a bit more complicated to do from a Ryzen Linux machine. A translation layer called "qemu-aarch64-static" is required. It's far more straightforward on a PineBook Pro due to the same architecture. Not so good ones is that reinstalling the old RPi5 specific 6.6 kernel still fails to boot. update-intramfs was automatically run during reinstalling the old kernel and uinitrd in /boot was updated by some scripts(according to last modified time stamp), with symlink as described in armbianEnv.txt. Everything seems to be at the right place and wired in the expected way. Quite confused. Great news is that despite the unsuccesful to restore the kernel, the chroot provide me an enough environment to utilize calcardbackup to extract the personal data from NextCloud database. Better news is that I took this opportunity to start fresh with Armbian 25.8.1 Debian Trixie with Kernel 6.12.44. So far it works beautifully on RPi5.

Ok, figured it out My first mistake was not copying the proper u-boot file to the /boot folder cause the folder didn't exist when I flashed it with Balena Second, this box has a weird set of hardware that had issues with CoreELEC and even the Official Android upgrade, hence bricking into the Android dead robot and allowing me to force an upgrade with the official Android that fixed the partitions so I could run Armbian Third, the correct DTB for this box was meson-gxm-q200.dtb that makes everything works (attached a hw info file for future references) As of the moment, the Armbian is working perfectly. SSH works and it's displaying everything correctly. Not going to mess with Wi-Fi cause I don't really care about it. Again, thank you so much SteeMan for the help, the instructions and everything. I'll upload the hw_info and the URL for both "official" Android 7.1.1 upgrades (PC and SD flash images) for anyone to find cause it took me around a week to find those. Official MeCool BB2 Pro Android: https://www.geekbuying.com/geekgiz/2018/06/mecool-bb2-pro-s912-3gb16gb-tv-box-firmware-update-20180202/?admitad_uid=b4ee2a23c13552c70bd97fdfc0371b76&utm_source=4pda.ru&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ilia hw_info.log

OK, thank you... was looking for the script on google...😁 I can confirm that the entries marked after "openmediavault" in the original /etc/fstab on the SD were not copied to /rootfs/etc/fstab in emmc. After copying them manually, and reboot, OMV and docker started correctly. Only two disks appear as missing from OMV, but all services seem ok, so I will post this question on the OMV forums, as I think it is best suited there.

@JaydenWithaWhy ok ,the source is right. The multitool should leave a dmesg log in the MULTITOOL partition of the sdcard; that log could be handy to understand what's wrong. Also you can access via SSH and run the multitool from there, so you may get some clearer output and some more details about the error. A last note, I never tested it with a 128gb sdcard; it should work but bugs are around the corner...

Sorry, bad copy-paste, using meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb USB ports don't work. Changed to meson-gxm-q201.dtb USB ports work, managed to get to desktop but no wired network. I see the port up but it tells me the cable is disconnected. Going to try meson-gxm-s912-libretech-pc.dtb and see how it goes. I just want to say, thank you SteeMan, thanks to your post and your instructions, I might be able to use this old box for something useful.

@jock, I got my version of Multiool at the top of this topic, to be exact, it was https://users.armbian.com/jock/web/rk3318/multitool.img.xz

What download are you using? There is no meson-gxm-s912-mecool-bb2-pro.dtb in Armbian builds.
