The discovery process (MCU at I2C bus 0, address 0x15, register 0x11)

The fix: i2cset -y 0 0x15 0x11 0x00

The systemd service for persistence

That 0x01 = button required, 0x00 = auto power on

Note it likely applies to the Minix NEO U1 as well since it uses the same MCU

This was bought 5 years ago for only 35 USD.

I would like to find another box for Armbian that also has 1000M/1Gbit ethernet + USB 3.0.

The same or similar boxes are selling for 50-60USD at the moment which is a lot for an old box.

Are there any other boxes with 1Gbit ethernet at a low price that work with Armbian?

Not bothered about other features, wifi quality, performance otherwise - just Gbit ethernet and USB 3.

Open to all processors - Amlogic, Allwinner, Rockchip etc

I'm running Armbian on a Ugoos AM3 TV box. I downloaded the Armbian_26.05.0_amlogic_s912_bookworm_6.18.20_server_2026.04.01.img.gz image from https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases/download/Armbian_bookworm_arm64_server_2026.04/ Armbian_26.05.0_amlogic_s912_bookworm_6.18.20_server_2026.04.01.img.gz

I'm using an 8GB USB flash drive. I formatted the flash drive to FAT32. I burned the image to the flash drive using Win32 Disk Imager. After burning the image, I found the u-boot-s905x-s912.bin file in the root directory of the flash drive and renamed it to u-boot.ext. In the /dtb/amlogic/ directory, I found the meson-gxm-ugoos-am3.dtb file and edited the path in the extlinux/extlinux.conf file in the FDT line. The resulting line was:

FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxm-ugoos-am3.dtb

I connected a monitor via HDMI to the TV box, a network via Ethernet, a USB keyboard, and inserted a USB flash drive into the TV box. Armbian loaded normally. I followed the steps to create a user and install locales. No network setup messages appeared during setup. After setup and booting, I ran the command as the user

ip a

I saw that the TV Box hadn't received an IP address. I tried running the command sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager , but the IP address didn't appear. I turned off the TV Box using the command sudo poweroff. I disconnected the USB flash drive and booted into the TV Box in Android (I'm using a slimBox). I checked the network in Android—both Ethernet and WiFi were working. I switched the WiFi status in Android to off, and then re-enabled the WiFi. I inserted the USB flash drive with Armbian into the TV Box and booted into Armbian—the Ethernet network was working. I tried shutting down the system using the command sudo poweroff. I disconnected the TV Box from the power supply. After that, I booted the TV Box into Armbian again—both Ethernet and WiFi were still not working.

If I re-enable the network in Android, the Ethernet will work again until the power is cut off. I tried using the dtb files meson-gxm-q201.dtb and meson-gxm-q200.dtb, but the Ethernet also doesn't work after a power outage.

My TV box uses an LTM8830 WiFi module and an Amlogic S912 ARM Cortex-A53 processor. RAM is 2 GB.

I know this is a bit of a long shot given the age of the hardware, but I’m wondering if anyone here has ever experimented with running Armbian on an EVPad 2S (the old Android TV box). I’ve been tinkering with some older devices and thought it might be interesting to see if this one can be repurposed.

I’ve attached a screenshot of the system info - unfortunately, it’s pretty sparse. The box is running Android 4.4.2 with kernel version 3.4.39, but the processor type is listed as “UNKNOWN,” and I haven’t found much documentation on the chipset or board layout.
 

so before I dive deeper I wanted to ask:

• Has anyone managed to get Armbian (or any Linux distro) running on it?
• Are there known limitations with the chipset or bootloader that make it a dead end?
• Any tips, resources, or even “don’t bother” experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any insights - sometimes these older boxes surprise us, but I realize support may be very limited.

• Realtek chipset with the code RTD1395PU
• 1 GB of RAM (SEC 149 model)
• 8 GB Flash memory (SCY brand)
• Operating system: Linux
• Support for 1 USB, LAN, HDMI

I have tried connecting the UART interface to it and observed the boot process using Putty. What I received was a boot system that I will describe later. The issue I'm facing is that there is very little information on the internet about this CPU model, and the support for it is similarly scarce, as it seems to have been discontinued. I can use ESC/Space to access Uboot in the Realtek> prompt, but the number of supported commands is limited. I can still access USB, and of course, I can't use Ctrl+D to stop this process due to copyright issues. Does anyone have any ideas on how to install Armbian from a USB drive onto its flash memory?

Indeed, I mostly used the Pi as a server these years, and after reading "Status of Armbian on TV Boxes" I think I can at least give a shot at trying to buy a TV box as a Pi substitute for this kind of task. Since today and tomorrow the Amazon Prime Day takes place, and I'm finding some more-decent-than-usual deals (yes, I did check with Keepa, some boxes are really on discount today), I thought I might as well buy now and stop postponing. So, my requirements are about the following, and they seem easy enough to get on today's TV boxes with Android, but I don't know what happens if I was to desire Armbian:

• 4 GB RAM or more (unlike the Pi's 1 GB)
• USB 3.0 ports (unlike the Pi's 2.0), to add big additional storage with minimal bottleneck (but maybe we don't rely on an USB-Y cable anymore if connected to a separate PSU...)
• WiFi, preferably 5 GHz, because I don't have a good place to put the box near my router, and can't have Ethernet cables going from one corner of the room to the opposite...

Now, I probably don't really need bare-metal pure Linux, since the majority of the software I have to run can do so in a proot container in Android (in the past I did use an half-broken Android smartphone as a server actually), but I would have to sacrifice Docker (which sometimes is really useful) and also Pi-Hole (since to work it has to bind on a privileged port, and I wouldn't bet on being able to root these Android boxes), so I am at least making an attempt at buying something that can run Armbian.

From what I'm gathering from the forum, the best choices are usually Rockchip boxes (most supported), next come those with some Amlogic SoCs (driven by a small community), and lastly there are some Allwinners. However, it's a bit chaotic trying to infer what's the best choice from browsing semi-random threads, and that's why I'm asking any potential TV box expert (now that's hyperspecialization!) what could be the best choice among what I found for an acceptable price (some are on Prime Day discount, some aren't but still have a good price):

• X88 Pro 10, X88 Pro 12: RK3318 chip, I understood that it's good support-wise (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/26978-csc-armbian-for-rk3318rk3328-tv-box-boards/#comment-122715), WiFi works too if I'm reading correctly, but hardware-wise it's kind of crap, wastes energy, and can fail. Oh well, I'll be honest: I know I should be worried, but I don't know how much worried!
• X88 Pro 13: RK3528, is it a very new SoC? I can't find anything on the forum about it, and so I fear there is no support.
• Magcubic thingy, Magcubic 8K Ultra HD, Tanix thingy (Allwinner H618); T95H, Q Plus (Allwinner H616): It appears these are not well supported, there are some experimental builds around but many things are broken. Would be happy to discover that I'm wrong on this and support is actually good for my standards, though.

• TUREWELL T95 Max+: Amlogic S905X3, here I kinda don't understand at all if there's enough good community support or not, but there are many threads about issues and solutions.

To be clear: I can tinker if something doesn't work out-of-the-box with Armbian, I have a bit of experience with embedded devices like routers or Android smartphones so I think I could solve minor issues if they arise, but I'm really looking for a quick replacement for my Raspi and don't want to spend more than a few days after getting the box to make Armbian work. That's why I'm thinking so hard on getting a device with good compatibility.

Anyways, thank you to anyone who comes here to help, I would appreciate it. If no help comes, I think I will bet on a box with the RK3318 and hope for the best.

I've installed ARMBIAN to my old TV box. It's running fine as I ussually use it headles with a ssh connection to it.

BUT NOW I've attached it to the hdmi TV and I want to remotely use  that HDMI screen w/o local keyboard and mouse.

I don't know how to do that. Please give me a help?

Steps

1, connect UART from mainboard test points, (I can only find M17's UART port)

2, build u-boot follow q200.rst in u-boot doc, use  VIM2 config and use VIM2 fip blobs (hope that works)

3, build Arm64 debian bookworm with default debian kernel to USB driver, and config system.

4, falsh u-boot to USB driver

5, connect to device with UART, hope to stop at u-boot cmdline, and erase emmc. if failed, find other way to erase, maybe Amlogic flash tool.

6, instert USB driver, and reboot device

potaintial issues:

can't find UART port on mainboard

VIM2 mainline Uboot can't boot M16S

device does not support boot from USB.

No schematics for next step dev.

in VLC, i have noticed that if i play the 720 in the native default window, and don't maximize it, it plays perfect with no dropped frames, but it still tears now and then !!. it's because the video does not have to be rescaled. So obviously, the problem is that Hardware Decoding will not work with VLC, and that VLC and ARMbian are just not optimized and not up to the job !!. I have heard that with my "H96 Max"ARM and almost any other SoCs, that they can just not handle the task in ARMbian and in general, , , i was suprized to see the 4 CPU's run a 50% !!, i expected it to be no more than 10

If you can get it to work 4K on crappy ARM based Android LINUX, then it's not the SBC hardware, , its ARMbian !!

So the main problem is that HVA is not fully supported in my Armbian, and SVA is not working as it should, so a problem with ARMbian again, , , I have been a Computer Technician since 1997 and have seen SVA work perfect on a a lot lesser system, , , , ,Hmmmm, , my 4 Core ARM based "4K fire tv stick max" is a joy to use !!, , , will have to look at the look at its ARM SoCs, especially its GPU

I’m thinking of buying a more powerful TV box, and I see that everyone recommends Rockchip. However, when I look at performance, I notice that the S905X3 has much more power than an RK3566 and is also cheaper. There are comments that development for Amlogic is stalled, but new versions continue to be released from what I can

see. I only want it for setting up a Pi-hole and some Dockerized applications. Am I making a mistake if I go for an S905X3? Currently, I have an S905X, and although it was a bit challenging, it’s working quite well

i installed an armbian img dirictly to the emmc, and i want to make a backup img file of it after installing and config few things on it!

i can't use the "ddbr" command cuz it's already installed directly to the emmc.

is there any other way? 

I basically want to play accelerated video (because I need 4k).

I tried amlogic, but it is not still supported (https://linux-meson.com/hardware.html) the status is partial for the chips I tried. I don't what "partial" means but I can hardware decoding.

I also tried allwinner, several chips. In this page https://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-Cedrus I see that it is supported but I tried with new kernels, old kernels... Nothing worked. I always reach a point that stops me (like segmentation fault when loading sunxi modules, system freeze when using vdpau, compilation errors due incompatibility between version...)

I was thinking of try some rockchip but I think that I will suffer the same pain so this is why I want to ask you guys because I am a bit lost and I am starting to think that everything I try is worthless. 

Can someone bring me some light? Any tip about what chips are more "friendly" with video acceleration and, if mainline kernel or not, player to use... All the documentation/posts I found are outdated or incomplete and this is the reason I am writing this post, because I am not able to find more information.

I know that the manufacturers does not help and everything we have is due the awesome work of the community. It is complicated stuff. Any kind of information will be very helpful.

Thanks

I'm having fun with a new TV BOX TX3 Mini with Amlogic S905L2B (I was sure to find S905W) and before asking for help I wanted to know if I can recover the DTB file from the Android image that works correctly.

Thanks

After running armbian-install on S905x device it stopped booting. USB Burning Tool doesn't recognize the device, nothing.

After connecting to UART it looks like install script has overwritten the original u-boot.

That's the boot log from UART connection without sd card:

Is there any way to restore original firmware?

Where do I go to see the info I need to start building a usable boot?

This is the device I have:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MJ13MWD

I saw you and other people discussed about installing Armbian to the onboard eMMC. Is there any advantage for doing that? I mean I have a Samsung EVO 128Gb lying around, which should be faster, roomier than the onboard eMMC, shouldn't I use it instead of the 16Gb onboard eMMC?

Hello,

I have recently found two android TV boxes and am interested in getting Armbian running on them versus the very deprecated Android versions they have. Doing a little research, I've found that they're MXQ EasyView TV models and run on ARM processors similar to my Le Potatoes that I've been playing around with for a few months.

I've found their webpage, and it's pretty comical. Unfortunately, they don't list the exact ARM processor and/or specs and just looking up MXQ results in newer models only and Easyview barely anything except the mentioned site.

https://easyviewtv.com/homepage.html

Now, there does look like there was a project at one point, but unfortunately it is seemingly cancelled? The websites hosting it are no longer available. I was wondering if anybody came across these and successfully got linux running on them or know of any ways to get them rooted? They'd be fantastic mini-pcs to accompany my Le Potatoes.

By the way, I just want to check with you. There is no reason to run Armbian on emmc card, rite? Because the sdcard nowadays are much faster & larger than those that are available in the old TV Boxes? Thus there is no advantage to install to the emmc?

Thanks!

First of all, i couldn't find a topic about the same problem im having, so, if this is a duplicate, just let me know and i'll delete it

So, i just installed Armbian Lunar Edge (Kernel 6.2.9) on my box. The WiFi chip is properly recognized, but the firmware for it won't load

This is the dmesg output

Given that the board is recognized, i dont think its a big deal. Still investigating the problem, but until that, can someone give me some tips on how to solve it?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I am an advanced user, and intend to give official support for this hardware. A lot of people own similar boxes

was working well stand alone, had ethernet and wifi, I decided make use of this box as a network-bridge

I wanted to connect a 3d printer that only has ethernet to wifi, just to transfer files.

so finding instructions on this (reverse network bridge?)  was difficult, some say's it can't be done, found one person said he just did it but was for a rpi I think using dhcpcd. 

but anyways when I installed dhcpcd it removed nmcli and now my wifi is disconnected and ethernet is no longer listed.

still messing with it to see if I can get it back, but I attached the script he gave me that supposedly worked for dhcpcd, if anyone wants to check it out.

is there a way to do it with  nmcli? (network-manager)

has anyone done a network bridge to connect a ethernet device to wifi? 

bridge.sh

"Brazil's telecoms regulator Anatel claims that during an operation last week, it successfully blocked around 80% of pirate 'TV boxes' in the country. Estimates from early 2023 suggest that seven million were active in Brazil."

Maybe they could be re-purposed to run Armbian /s

What's your take on this?

How can i set the Display-Output to 720p 50Hz - it is necassary for a special purpuse. The MK808b is only use for this prepared purpuse. So i need the fix Display-output

STB brand : Antik
machine : b2067
cpu family : sh4
cpu variant : st40-300
cpu type : STxH205

Is there any OS/firmware that i can use? or any help/guide on how to do this is much appreciated, Thank you.

I have a formuler z alpha.

I think the gpu is a ARM Cortex A5 (but not sure)

Some have an ARMBIAN version for booting on USB with this model of CPU ?

Thank you

With a web search and in Kodi wiki I found only outdated info.

Which ARM board with much better performance than Raspberry (I want 4K streaming) and good Linux support? Which is the flagship of 2023 for TV box?

Installation and setup should be easy, like a x86 PC.

I am not yet sure if I run LibreElec or armbian

Thanks

I have an issue with my hk1 box. I cannot connect to WiFi. I see a lot of networks but when I trying to connect it says “couldn’t find <BSSID>”.

Tried to set static & DHCP IP, factory reset the box and rebooted the router. When I use the LAN cable it works. 
 

does anyone have any idea how to further troubleshoot this or have some knowledge or experience?

One box says T8 on top and underneath Smart TV BOX quad core T8 V3 S/N 052014120002441 

This one is in a solid metal case . 

The other is in a square ish plastic shell and on top says M8 underneath says OTT TV BOX Android Player Model : M8

Are either of these suitable please ? 

I Want to Install ARMBIAN on Tronsmart Vega S89 Standard.  

Currently it is on Android Kitkat 4.4.2.

Please Help.

Thanx

[1] Hardware:

Minix Neo U1 ... S905, 2GB RAM / 16GB Flash. Emmc is Toshiba THGBMFG7C1LBAIL (AFAIK same as Samsung KLMAG2GEND-B031).

[2] Software:
Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_bullseye_current_5.9.0.img.xz
Using DTB  meson-gxbb-vega-s95-meta.dtb

Here is my extlinux.conf:
 

LABEL Armbian
LINUX /zImage
INITRD /uInitrd

FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-vega-s95-meta.dtb
APPEND root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0

To install I run the install-aml-s905-emmc.sh. The only change I made is to replace u-boot.ext in /boot on SD, and the one installed in emmc (/dev/mmcblk1p1) with the one from Mr. hexdump which has serial support enabled, so I could capture the u-boot process info. Both versions - the one in distro from Mr. balbes150, and the one from Mr. hexdump are the same but the later has the serial enabled. Both version produce the same error.

[3] The problem:

Booting from SD has no problems. The process uses the original Amlogic U-Boot "2015".
During booting from EMMC the Amlogic U-BOOT correctly transitions to the new U-BOOT "2020", but that one fails to load the rest of the system,. This where I need some help.

Here is the serial log og a good boot from SD:

I need some help.

I have a Beelink GT1 Mini TV Box 64GB Gigabit Lan 4 GB Ram.

I use this stock firmware: v007P0 stock firmware LPDDR4 version (SN: 95X2) for Beelink GT1 Mini TV Box from here.
https://beelink-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/firmwareservice_beelink_onmicrosoft_com/EQ8GFfRPJopFoKLfJt71qyMB7ZuofgTb_L3_VW3CHO2g2g?e=Hq70yf
https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-android-pie-9-v007p0-stock-firmware-for-beelink-gt1-mini-tv-box.html

I am trying to flash Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_buster_current_5.9.0.img.xz using the meson-g12a-gt1-mini-a but I get the error here-below:

I have tried all other meson-g12a with same result

Is it because it has LPDDR4 instead of DDR4 ?

Anything I can do to make it work??

Thanks a lot in advance for your help,

MoA,

Cheers,

im just burn and run armbian firmware on my tvbox.

the firmware from ophub,and i want to change kernel,but a dont know how to change it.

the kernel file contains boot.tar.gz, dtb.tar.gz, modules.tar.gz, header.tar.gz.

i try upload in root folder and run armbian-update,but not work.

thanks b4

nand-sata-install.sh

So how I have to do now ?

yeah its looks ugly & messy, but its works

If you want to try the driver just tell me....

I got two boxes on the hopes that it would work but I failed in my efforts so far

1. X98: I found out that Linux kernel doesn't have the .dtb files for this box so it won't work for now. Maybe I can derive it from S905W but I haven't tried it yet.

2. X96-Air: I could run Armbian [1] on the SD card but when I tried to install it on the eMMC, it stopped booting altogether. Now it won't even boot with SD card inserted.

Is there an Android box which supports 5GHz wifi that can definitely run Armbian? Thanks!

[1]: I used a release from a person that uses Armbian's name without permission and wastes Armbian's ressources by sending their users to Armbian for support.

Since I'm less than a noob in linux, can anyone please help me with the commands that I need to execute the following instructions?

Thanks in advance.

Instructions:

1. Install the dtb file meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini-vfd.dtb.gz and boot your tx3 box with this file. (This assumes that you boot from SD/USB so that you don't risk bricking your box.)

2. Download the vfd code (module and daemon) tarball vfdd-20181209.tar.xz from a link at the bottom of the page http://www.rvq.fr/linux/tanix-vfd.php and unpack it someplace on your tx3 box.

3. Build the vfd module (natively): Install the *.deb package from Balbes/Armbian with linux kernel headers for the kernel you are running. Then, copy the contents of vfdd-20181209/vfdmod/vfdmod/ to some place in the kernel headers tree, say drivers/vfd Go to drivers/vfd and write up a Makefile somewhat like this;

    KERNEL_SOURCE := /usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.7-aml-s9xxx
    PWD := $(shell pwd)
    default:
        ${MAKE} -C ${KERNEL_SOURCE} M=${PWD} modules
    clean:
        ${MAKE} -C ${KERNEL_SOURCE} M=${PWD} clean

   Run 'make' and build the module vfdmod.ko

4. Check that the module loads: insmod vfdmod.ko

5. Build the daemon vfdd: Go to the directory vfdd-20181209/ and run make. The daemon executable vfdd should emerge. After inspection/editing of the Makefile in vfdd-20181209/ (e.g. BINDIR, ETCDIR) you can run 'make install' to copy the the daemon executable and configuration file to their proper locations (or do this manually).

6. Test the daemon: Check the vfd conf file (default /etc/vfd.conf) and edit according to taste, or leave as-is. Start the daemon with recipe as in vfdd-20181209/vfdd.runit.in If everything is OK some nice little numbers and symbols should now emerge on the front LED display of your tx3 box.

Note:

The dtb file meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini-vfd.dtb (md5sum is fe846c5c3c7903b15c0725c2bd289fe5) is an augmentation of the Balbes/Armbian file meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dtb where the following definition has been added/compiled in (method; hack to Balbes' Armbian cross compile build environment) to support vfd (as per recipe in vfdd-20181209):

    meson-vfd {
        compatible = "amlogic,aml_vfd";
        dev_name = "meson-vfd";
        status = "okay";
        gpios = <&gpio_ao GPIOAO_4  GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,  /* STB */
            <&gpio GPIODV_27 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,  /* CLK */
            <&gpio GPIODV_26 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;  /* DI/DO */
    };

   (A dtb file can easily be decompiled and inspected by decompiling it with dtc, the device tree compiler.)

I have installed latest armbian linux OS into amlogix x96 max+ (S905X3) device.

I am new to this site, so far I have not been able to find a newbie list of what type of hardware to start with.

I do not have any device yet.

I have been looking at the android tv boxes on amazon, and I want to start with a $30 box, to be able to load linux on it, and have a graphical interface (ie like a Gnome/KDE desktop view) and then be able to install a vnc server, so the device can be controlled remotely.

I have two projects in mind:

1. a chromium based browser install, for viewing webpages and playing any videos embedded in those webpages.

2. later on,  perhaps with different more robust hardware?, add the capacity to install a media player type interface, ie Kodi, so my elderly parents could watch home movies, or view photos, and listen to their aac music. The vnc desire/requirement is so that I could connect over the internet and upload new content to their storage device, and assist them with any problems they were having.

If this forum has a topic that you can point me to, to understand what types of device I should start looking at, without getting too overwhelmed for a newbie, I would appreciate it.

Otherwise, if you know of an Android tv box in the $30 price range that will work for project #1, please recommend it in the reply.

and if you also have recommendations for project #2, i.e. what type of hardware device upgrade should I consider for movie playback (it is not 4k, even 720 or 1080 is good enough), I would also appreciate that, or even your commentary if there is no hardware upgrade needed.

Thank you.

I run on my tv box pre compiled debian image bullseye with kernel 5.9 but I have problem with video decode on motioneye.

Exist new image with best support for meson vpu/gpu?

There is Tivion B1100 Smart TV Box, HiSilicon Hi3716C (ARM Cortex A9), 1 ГГц, which Armbian image is suitable for this device and which one to specify dtb?

Thanks

Not too much info on what company makes it, what the specs are etc. -- it's unfortunately too old to connect to the Google Play Store at this point (running android Jellybean).

The only markings on it are on the top of the case saying RBOX, but I have yet to find any other device like it on any site. It's a red and black square case, for what that's worth.

I also haven't been able to boot to the BIOS/bootloader menu, even holding the reset button -- all that happens is the little Android mascot says its loading then after a few seconds it "dies" (red triangle-shaped thing above the body) only to reboot again. I can boot to the normal OS just fine, but cant do much once there.

As such, I haven't found a way to boot off of a USB stick, SD card, etc. just whatever is built in to it.

Any help, advice, or info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have updated my TX5 Plus Deluxe (4GB/64GB,1Gb Eth) to the latest official Android firmware (newton 20201224) and finally managed to start

Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_buster_current_5.9.0.img from USB Flashdisk.

I tested several DTB files for ethernet speed and working soundcard (aplay -l).

Here are some results:

1. started with meson-sm1-sei610-ethfix.dtb recommended for Tanix TX3 (similar box). Result - NO SOUND, 100mb Ethernet

2. next - meson-sm1-sei610-x96maxplus.dtb I found here. Result is surprising - Gigabit ethernet WORKING, but no sound.

    This is good news because it's working with original Tanix bootloader (speed confirmed via iperf3).

3. next - meson-sm1-sei610-x96maxplus.dtb from here - SoundCard WORKING, but only 100mb Ethernet.

I want working both SoundCard and Gigabit ethernet. Could anyone help me combine good parts from those 2 dtb files ?

Maybe it helps some other owners of this tvbox. Thanks a lot in advance.

I just entered this hobby tonight and read up some on amlogic boxes in these forums. 

Im trying to boot armbian to a A95xF3 air with the amlogic s905x3 chip off a SD card but hangs at error message "fail to map file in aml_autoscript".

I guess I have the wrong dtb file configured in ext-linux, I have not tried all dtb files yet but now I have wasted so much time so I try to ask here if there is any easy way booting the amlogic s905x3 chip. There is a couple of youtube videos using files for Rk3399 from 2019 and perhaps they might work as Im not lucky with the last posted ubuntu 20.20 images ?

I did read there is security issues with the old images so perhaps that is not an option. If there is a clear howto for the boot setup I would appreciate a link as there is lots of different methods described at different places making me confused. What I learned of this device is that pressing reset button with tooth pick gives nothing, su reboot update in termux not available allthough claiming to be rooted so only way getting the box to read SD is via the manual software update app. Android build number in the box is 202006121521, android 9.

kindly jhg.

I Accidental found the image and it was booted successfully on x96mini but another image won't booted. why ?
i use official armbian was not booted

i use amlogic-s9xxx-armbian github repo was not booted.

why top image wasn't boot but  booted successfully on x96-mini ?

Hello community. I have a X88 Pro S Android TV Box using chip Rk3318 that I want to run Armbian (steps by @jock) However I haven’t found a way to reset my box. I looks like this box doesn’t have a reset button.

If someone can help me to figure this out, I will really appreciate.

Thanks

I installed my HA system on an android box Amlogic S912 Octa core, with armbian, everything works fine until i restart the box.

Box: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bqeel-Android-Bluetooth-Amlogic-Output/dp/B078MHCTWT

After restarting the box I can no longer access the HA, but I can access the box with putty.

For everything to work again, I have to delete docker, HA and re-install everything again, but as soon as I remove the power, I am again without access by brower.

I think the problem is in some service that is not on startup, but I have no experience with linux and I don’t know how to solve this problem

Can anyone help me try to find the problem?

Best Regards

I have X96+ with armian. I have issue with usb hdd (usb 3.0) on both usb ports (2.0/3.0).Disk have ext4 partition. During hisk work very often disk unmounting (i hear when thisk stoping). In effect the disk is mounted as read-only and of course it generates disk errors that are repairable with fsck.

What could be the reason? A badly mounted drive or a sluggish, dying power supply? How I can diagnose this? Any ideas?

I simply mounting disk in fstab

LABEL=usb-hdd   /media/usb-hdd  ext4            defaults,rw                                0 0

is there a chance to run manjaro arm server / desktop on tv box mxq pro 4k amilogic s905x?

or how does the process of building such a system look like?

I have:
1. X88 pro X3 with u-boot-s905x2-s922 as u-boot.ext and meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb choosen.

2. A95X F3 Air with u-boot-s905x2-s922 as u-boot.ext and meson-sm1-sei610.dtb

Both of them work. I can connect to them with ssh.
But I found that sometimes after reboot command both of them do not start again until I plug/unplug them.

I made this little script:

date >> ~/Files/reboots.txt
/sbin/reboot

I put it into a crontab. It executes it each 2 minutes. Both of devices rebooted well for 10-15 times when I tried it first. But after that it takes 3-4 reboots to hang.

During that hanging device is unaccessible through ssh and HDMI output shows nothing. I tried to look into journalctl logs but found that a journal for hanged boot doesn't exist. There are journals for previous boot and for the next after unplugging and nothing in between.

So, I thought that the problem is with u-boot. I connected to X88 with UART adapter.

This is how the end of normal session looks:

*kernel started*
...
arm-64 login:         *here it asks for a login and password but I just wait*
reboot: Restarting system
*some messages about restarting here*
...
*beggining of a new start here*

And this is how the ending of weird session looks:

*kernel started*
...
arm-64 login:         *here it asks for a login and password but I just wait*

Yes, it doesn't show a log for a new start neither a log for ending of previous session. It looks for me like system is hanging not on start but on shutting down.

Nobody had such an issue? How it can be fixed? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone ever seen one of these, know what kind of hardware is in it? (CPU, firmware, etc.?) Any reccomendations on which distro to use? I tried Bullseye Armbian to no avail.

We are thinking of re-purposing an existing Android TV box into a $30 personal cyber-security monitoring server for your home.

Good or terrible idea? What caveats should we pay attention to?

We will order directly from the manufacturer so we should be able to save some money (no need for a remote or an HDMI cable) and ensure they all use the same components.

Giving the current chip shortage, it is though to reach a $30 price point without being creative... (we won't take any profit on the hardware)

The project will be open source (no code yet).

Current status: Armbian running on RK3318 - X88 Pro (thanks @jock !). The performance seems good enough and AI acceleration using the GPU doesn't seem too hard to add but we are still exploring other options.

I have anold 10" Onix AT-101-1215 tablet that I bought from Aldi in 2016 and would like to tinker with it and attempt to install Linux on it.
Is this possible?

If so can anyone give me some guidance as how to best do this?

Hey everyone, don't tear me up too much, but its been maybe 25 years since I have dabbled with any *nix type environment. 

Recently tinkering around, I installed Armbian on my TX3 Mini Android box.  No complaints, feels like I am getting back into the swing of things again.  But for some reason, I cannot figure out how to turn off the screen saver / maybe power managent IE: Black screen.  It goes black after 10 minutes or so and I just wanted to keep it on.  Spent a few days trying things on and off from suggestions I found online, but nothing seems to work.  FYI I dont have xscreensaver installed either.

Thanks!

I have a Mecool M8S Pro L box with Amlogic S912 3/32GB and 100Mbit ethernet.

I am running the current bullseye and focal image from microsd without any problems.

But i am not able to do anything with the internal EMMC, fdisk, ddbr and anything else giving an Input/Output error and i am not able to install the image into the internal emmc (this is my goal)

I tried every gxm* dtb file but none of them making any difference (only some of them are not booting into the linux os, but none can access the internal emmc)

could anyone give me a hint what to do or does anyone know whats wrong and what to do to get it working?

thanks a lot!

I'm a veteran Debian user and occasional system administrator, but - have zero experience with TV set-top boxes / media streamers. I now find myself in a position of needing one: In a rental apartment, I have a wall-mounted TV with HDMI in but an old, custom, non-upgradable vendor-specific OS and no network connectivity.

To be honest - I don't particularly need my box to be ARM-based, nor do I need my OS distribution to be Debian. I mean, that would be the nicest, since my desktop is Devuan Chimaera (~= Debian 11), but I would definitely settle on any reasonable Linux distro.

Anyway, my questions:

1. How can I educate myself about my different options? Manufacturers (I don't mind ones which are relatively unknown in the west), key features which might not be obvious to a PC user, buyers' guides etc.?

2. If I get some specific recommendation of a TV box - how do I evaluate it (reviews, fine-print, benchmarks, compatibility lists etc.)?

I'm not asking you guys to write up an encyclopedia for me as an answer to this question, but rather for a few pointers and directions to follow, to resources off- and maybe on this site.

PS - I've read this and it seems quite discouraging regarding boxes with Armbian support - either it's essentially discontinued (AmLogic) or there's missing info :-( 

1.  Be a server: self-hosting data, fediverse, home NAS

2. Be a TV box: 1. web browser, 2. other multimedia options, 3. games

3.  Be a makeshift PC replacement (run office applications, photo editing, etc)

Concerning #1: If you have followed the news then you have witnessed that censorship is increasing and that the nature of it is most alarming. Over the next years, big tech and politics-driven manipulation of online information will only get worse, until the internet essentially devolves into a kind of TV program suitable for only silent, mindless and conformist consummation. In the wake of this happening, enough people are slowly waking up and realize: We can't just blindly put all our data and digital lives into the hands and dictatiorships of giant companies anymore. That is why we need to step back from those ill relationships and towards alternatives like the fediverse, that have already been worked on for the benefit of the greater good. As more and more ordinary and "technologically helpless" people are turning to the community for solutions, we should have all the answers. 

Concerning #2 & #3: Many people have smart TVs now. A lot of them aren't even running Android and they do not support any or proper web browsers in order to lock people into vendor schemes. But even on Android, many apps do only work in a makeshift shorthand manner, meant to be just barely enough to work with on a tiny phone when a PC is not available. Office doesn't work well and can't be used in a productive manner, most uncommon hardware addons like basic game controllers are not working for game emulation, if there are server apps they tend to be unreliable, there are not proper video/photo/music editors, etc. etc. This is absolutely not the case on desktop Linux distributions that run on x86 and ARM virtually all the same.

The TV box has evolved away from a dumb DVD player-alike thing with classic remote controls and is moving towards being a mini-PC with mini keyboard remote or full keyboard and mouse as standard, that people need for things they just can't practicably do well enough with their smartphones. In fact nowadays, most ordinary people rather primarily use their smartphones and do not even want to have a real PC around. Like described, Android performs well on smartphones, but the entire ecosystem has always been and will always be far too misfit for the TV environment to exhaust the true potential and benefit a TV box could have in people's lives.

Here is were Linux comes in, and this could turn the tide on Linux marketshare: We, the people from the Linux community, are not only providing a solution, with enduser-friendly server application environments like Yonohost or Docker, to the problem of big tech vs. our privacy, freedom and democracy. We also provide an operating system that fills an unfilled market nieche: the TV box as both a media center and mini-PC, a kind of "most things ordinary people often most need but nothing too serious" kind of solution. One that isn't controlled by big tech, and one that is born out of free choice and their choice for freedom. Never again has it been so convincing for people to switch to Linux by their own volition.

The Rasperry Pi or similar boards are all in all a good option here. But unfortunately they are neither advertized, nor sold nor priced in a manner that would appeal to and convince the average Joe to buy it. In fact I would rather buy the Rasperry Pi, if I was only buying it for myself: to have it easier.  But I am not thinking of myself here. I am thinking of the bigger picture and the greater good that would come from even lower cost.

Think of this: Before the Rasperry Pi existed, you could have simply used an old notebook or a thin client with GPIO card to do the same job. Yet in the very long era of thin clients, no one was thinking of all the great magical things you can do now with the Rasperry Pi. That is because back then they weren't magical at all at higher price points. When you run the Pi now, it consumes barely any power. Hosting your own data or controlling the doorbell, heating or hydroponic garden over wifi feels like a delight. You have so many awesome possibilites to enriche your life. But when you pay $10 for powering the Pi per month, like you would have paid for an old thin client, all those great things feel rather unpleasant. They aren't so advantageous or helpful anymore and leave a very bad aftertaste. A $30 TV box is about as capable as a Rasperry Pi and the Rasperry Pi is about as capable as some thin client from back in the day. The lower cost is all there was that made all the difference. And it is what opened up widespread use, large communities sourrunding it and so many benefits that just weren't really good benefits at all when the technology was more expensive.

That is how a $30 TV box running Linux will be cornerstone technology. And a thin client or Rasperry Pi kit for $100 sadly were not.

$30 will currently get you a 4GB/64GB Cortex-A55 with Mali 31 GPU. Those specs are far than enough.

Linux currently has (like it always had) 2% market share on desktops. Something needs to change, not to convince ourselves more that our own logic is sound, but to bring more ordinary "non tech" people in. who are not knowing the same things we do and make decisions based on different premises and imperatives. If we could push Linux up to only 15% market share, then most software companies that currently ignore Linux (like Adobe) would also develop for Linux to make more profit. At this point, Linux would snowball into widespread use because it had more advantages than using Windows. This wouldn't just be a great victory for software freedom and thus our freedom while using software, but it would also lay the foundation for a consciousness on digital freedoms and other cultural freedoms as well, where today only ignorance prevails.

What catches ordinary "non tech" people is also impression and convenience. Like a phone just resets and you can sell it, you can plop out your SD card into the next TV box and merely use the internal user-storage of Android for backup files. You can dual-boot Android, just try Linux out, no harm done. It comes fully assembled and doesn't look weird. Believe me to ordinary people who basically know nothing about technology, things like this are huge. Not only but foremost because they can easily imagine how to move forward with and treat it like other things they already have used before (like a phone or TV).

I didn't say it will be easy, just that this is how things are and could be. There are several problems to be solved and some are not easy to solve.

Like on PCs, Linux doesn't ship pre-installed on Android TV boxes and it needs to be distributed afterwards. Here I could imagine, that people could turn to local computer/Linux clubs to have it done for them for free. Or they could, worst-case, mail their box to someone in their country who will install Linux for them. It is probably the biggest hurde to get people to make this first step. But as people are now losing faith in big corporations, the return to community-driven options is only logical.

Then there is the technical side of things. And this is where we come in and I am asking for your help here: As I gathered, virtually all the cheap TV boxes with really good specs are (and always were) Amlogic devices. As you know there are hundreds of devices and they even often require reverse engineering, while the manufacturers don't play ball. So supporting Amlogic in general seems more like a fools errand. **However**, for us to support just one model every 2 years per generation is not: It absolutely is the smartest move we can make for everyone. We make the cheapest and fastest box work smoothly and as good as it gets, as a team effort. And this is the box we recommend as a community, that all people then can buy and profit from.

I believe so strongly in the value of this vision and the power and potential of all the converging events described, that I want to create a seperate website, which will serve two purposes: 1. to coordinate the project, provide a better dedicated space for knowledge and development. 2. To describe the idea to ordinary consumer-type people, so that they can easily understand what it is, what their options are in software and hardware and and what advantages they get.  There are many recent technologies from the fediverse and related, like Yunohost and docker, that even most tech-savvy people know nothing about and hence can't draw implications from. A dedicated site would quickly explain all those things, in a carefully thought-through manner to specific audiences, provide demos and tutorials and so forth and thus not be as convoluted and difficult to ingest as the post that you are reading right now on this forum.

From what I gathered, there isn't anything happening like that here or elsewhere at all. But admittedly, I haven't searched for it days on end either. I know of Balbes who seemed to be the one-man-army for Amlogic devices but now it seems he has quit? And SteeMan kind of took his place? I have been reading some on the Forum, and learned a few things about the general situation and gained insight to very very few scattered technical details. But there are thousands of pages on this-and-that sourrunding the topic from the last years. And it is totally impossible to work through all of it. This forum is about enduser support mostly, and no seperate dev forum seems to exist there are just bits and pieces here and there.

This is why it would be really really helpful if someone very experienced (like Balbes?) could write a crash course for other devs who have not worked much beyond the basics with TV box hardware.

This crash course should contain all the endpoints where dev support is needed, the technical nature of the problem, some details around it and maybe even a quick guide how to possibly tackle them. Of course this shouldn't be a lengthy tutorial, and only be as long as the person has time to spare. In essence it should just be the insights and pitfalls in the deciding details that someone with experience has gathered.

We could then expand on that crash course and work through all the issues. But let's first see how many people really jump on to this train, or if this will be a one man show. That would be kind of sad.

Personally I don't have much experience in hardware hacking and I can't desolder SMD parts or read EPROMs or anything like that (I suppose that isn't required, ever?; hopefully). I did work in IT most of my life, so I have all sorts dev exeperiences and am a Linux expert. I worked with microcontrollers and kernel drivers before, but not much. I dived a bit into uboot and drivers 2 years ago for my current box, but I still have to learn quite some with the hardware specifics. I have a ttl serial dongle of course. I am willing to learn whatever it takes.

As for the question of "which box?": Please make a recommendation. I believe the X96 max plus is the best candidate for last year and as a start.

Always waiting at red and blue lights.  Nothing moves.  The device does not turn on.

How can I animate this device? Which path should we follow? Please help.

 how can i restore the device

 Can you help me please :(((

I don't know much, I'm new I'm joining you for the first time

I would like to build an updated Armbian image for balbes150's arm-64 implementation.
Image family found here: https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/arm-64/

I have started some work on my personal armbian branch here: https://github.com/SLAzurin/build-armbian-custom/tree/arm64tv
Currently, I'm not sure about my progress, there were times I was able to build an image, but the machine wouldn't boot successfully. (using xdarklight's kernel files https://github.com/xdarklight/linux/tree/meson-mx-integration-5.14-20210718)
At most, it would boot into u-boot, and then hang after trying to start the Linux kernel.

When I try using balbes150's kernel (https://github.com/150balbes/linux-arm), it would fail to build the armbian image.

I'm just a regular software developer so I may not understand hardware related terms that well, sorry in advance.

Pointers, or any clues are very much appreciated =)

Edit:

My current hardware is a Nexbox A95x with AML s905x 2gb ram 16gb eMMC

Hep kırmızı ışıkta beklemek. Hiçbir şey hareket etmiyor. Cihaz açılmıyor.

cihazı nasıl geri yükleyebilirim

Lütfen yardımcı olur musunuz :(((

Brand new user to Armbian, and fairly new user to linux here! running Debian bullseye desktop version, downloaded and install about a week ago....

First off, loving what Armbian has done to my old S912 box, thanks very much for this fantastic image!

i have been able to get it all set mostly the way i would want and have set up a nextpvr back-end server that is working very well feeding other 'kodi' boxes dotted around the house.

on to my issue, hopefully it is something easy to address, i have set up openvpn using the network manager gui, and it connects just fine, and 'tun0' shows as connected, however, no traffic appears to actually route through the VPN. if i go to whats my ip, it shows the IP from my ISP regardless to weather the VPN is connected or not.

i tried googling for advice, but could not find anything specific for Armbian, i did find lots of differing advise aimed at Debian and Ubuntu. but when i tried to follow some of the advice i either could not find files i was directed to , or didn't get the output in terminal i was expecting, i'm. very new to this.

if anyone has any advice i could follow to try to understand why this is happening and how to address it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Even after successfully setting up the box, couple of questions remain.

About image and uboot

• If you check /boot/dtb/* there are .dtb-files for other arm-based boards. Does this means, that the installation image (5.9.0) supports all the listed devices?

• Is this the one and only installation image for tv-boxes? Where do I get the u-boot files for the other soc-types (Allwinner, Rockchip) from?

About dtb and dts

• Are dtb-files kernel-specific? I know, that every kernel bring their own set of dtb-files, but what is changing on a dtb-file between the releases?

• Is there a method decompiling dtb-files?

• Is a dts-file kernel-specific?

• Does it make sense having a dtb-file extracted from android stock rom (android 9 / Kernel 4.19) to use with provided 5.9.-based image?

Besides having a server for pyload and a "VPN-Accesspoint" while running a openvpn client to my VPN provider, I also have an useable desktop (browsing and office is fine, multimedia not) which is accessable via RDP.

I tried also an alternate setup: using this tv-box as a tv-box under Linux and kodi. The results were sobering me. Playing a local video file (USB, 1080p) with 5 fps is no fun, playing a internet live stream (720p) with 5 fpm is much more like listening to an audiocast, than watching TV. With the cpu frequency left at 1.2 Ghz, system load was over 90% on all cores when kodi was running, bringing up cpu's temperature up to 70°C. Unuseable. Taking this as an experience, I will go on using armbian server image on sd card, having in addition a rescue / backup system for android mods on emmc.

To be honnest: no matter, if stock or custom (Android TV9) rom, this box doesn't fullfill my requirements.  
Even with a limited screenresolution(1080p), video playback is "wacky", sometimes there are "blackouts", when starting a program or altering settings in menu.
When these "blackouts" lasting more than 5 seconds, my TV loses the "HDMI-handshake" to the box and falls back to it's own menu.

So, my last question will be:

Does someone has an android tv-box (built-in bluetooth would be great) with well-working 4k support, which is although "armbian-able"?
Or, which might be better: Which full supported board does meet my requirements (min. 1080p resolution, proper video and sound playback, BT and WLAN) WITHOUT having active cooling?

Thx for your time, reading and answering my newbie questions.

Which of the supported boards can this device be compatible with? Can any of the supported configurations be used to build a kernel for this device ?

And no by an old arm box I don't mean a box full of proshetic limbs! :-) .

I'm referring to this device:

http://rikomagic.co.uk/linux_mini_pcs.html

https://www.cnx-software.com/2014/09/25/rikomagic-announces-mk902ii-le-ubuntu-mini-pc-powered-by-rockchip-rk3288-soc/

The device was badged as a "RKM Mk902II" and claims to have a rk3288.

Dug it out today (it has sat unused and untouched for quite a while). Found that its plsatic box which has that strange gunk that is applied to to the box to make it look "shiny" has started to break down so it has become sticky. Anyway since I am clearing things out I thought I'd have one last go at booting a different OS on this device.

I have never head much luck ever since I bought one of these devices booting it off a microsd card.

Something called linuxium could do this and I have an old 4GB microsd which will boot .... an ancient version of ubuntu. But this was all a long time ago.

I did see here that there is a version of armbian for the rk3288. But it did not boot correctly (no display) but if I look at that armbian image I see there are several .dtb files in /boot/dtb . Snag is - is how can you find out which one your system uses? Is there some kind of special tool?

Is it the case that not all rk3288s are exactly the same?

(BTW this device is not a firefly device, nor a R69 it is ..... unknown!).

Any help much appreciated!

In the Android system can know the dtb file is gxlx2_p291_2g.I extracted the DTB file and put it into the DTB folder. It doesn't seem to start.

I’ve bought and run armbian on a number of boxes (x96, Trongle, a95x) and always run into the same problem, WiFi. I know I am not the only one and I know the reasoning behind it (too many chips to support)

But…

Has anyone got a build working with WiFi support? Ideally on a board less than $50? 
 

Amlogic, Rockchip, anything? 
 

I’ve never failed to get other aspects working, except WiFi (and Bluetooth) 

I know it must be possible, Android builds never seem to fail with WiFi support. 
 

Any feedback is much appreciated. 
 

thank you. 

Has anyone dealt with this device? Is it possible to install Armbian on it?
Which of the supported boards can this device be compatible with?

Can any of the supported build configurations be used for this device? Or is it possible to install any of the prebuilt assemblies?

Any idea of what is wrong

I am not having any luck with the wifi on the H96 Max X3.

I see posts saying the wifi on this box work with meson-sm1-sei610-ethfix.dtb /  meson-sm1-H96max-X3.dtb or h96max-x2-test-bus80-gpu-volt.dtb but they are not working for me.

I did put the BCM4335C0.hcd in /lib/firmware/brcm and the driver apparently loaded.

Everything else seems to be working ok. A few posts mentioned it works with kernel 5.6rc1 and 5.7 but I couldn't find those images.

I tried all the images Mr. Balbes have on https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/arm-64/ and I also tried installing the headers.

It works fine with Emulec and Android.

I see this message below.. (brcmf_chip_cores_check: CPU core not detected) is this the reason wifi is dead?

dmesg brcmfmac

and these are the files in /lib/firmware/brcm

If anyone can give me a hint... it would be amazing

Thank you, Leco

I'm trying to compile open vfd driver for my tx3 mini tv box.

It's running Armbian buster with kernel version 5.9.0.

Here is what I've done so far.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

thanks in advance for helping.

I flashed a usb (32G Lexar) with the image Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_buster_current_5.9.0.img.xz 

Next I booted up via the "Update&Backup" on a T95K Pro based on Amlogic S912 with 16G of internal storage and 2G of ram.

After apt-get update and apt-get upgrade I decided to move Armbian from the USB to the internal storage (emmc)

So I ran the file "install-aml.sh" getting this output:

However, after shutdown system and powered it up without the usb I get the following output:

If I boot up with the usb inserted it goes fine, without it no.

Any help is really appreciated.

 everyone need a little bit of support if anyone can help me?

So a couple of weeks back i picked up a retro gaming box filled with emulators, roms etc. After a little digging to add emulators, mess with themes, change settings and stuff i find out the box it's self is just a mix of libreelec, emulationstation, kodi with a few modifications, skins added. So i decided to see if the box can run Linux (if it could i could easily get retropie for Linux running on it) which it can and after a little googling and watching a video by the MXQ Project to get Armbian (Lepotato) running on the box (using the tooth pick method) i followed the steps to get it running and tried each one of the dtb files included on in the OS copying it into the root of the SD card, changing the file each time to dtb.img etc. https://krogerfeedback.nl https://talktosonic.onl https://talktowendys.vip https://whataburgersurvey.onl

Now the problem is i tested every dtb file and not a single one will boot Linux primarily Ubuntu. I also tried without a dtb file and again it just boots into the libreelec OS which is installed internally on the on board memory. I downloaded libreelec and tried booting a fresh copy from an sd card and it booted fine without me adding a dtb file (one was already included). So i copied out the dtb file and tried running Ubuntu with that file and again nothing happens it boots straight into libreelec.

thanks

Yes, I searched. 

But I still have questions. 

My story: At the beginning of the year (2021) I bought one orange pi zero 2 board at a good price. It was around 18 euro. I am very happy with the small board. So I was think to buy a second one. Turn out due to global chip shortage, the price of the board jump to 27 euro. The price is not attritive for me any more. Then I watched a youtube video. I think a lot of people watch the same video. Armbian install on H6 tv Box. so I bought the 'same' Tv box. Apparently, I did not read the spec carefully. The model I bought it is not with H6 CPU, but with H616 CPU. Yes, all the steps which from youtube wont work with my TV box. Then I found out TV box is not active support by Armbian anyway. Armbian is support more on the SBC, such as the orange pi zero 2. 

here are my questions:

• What is big difference between Orangepi zero 2 image and armbian image? if read this page https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build, it says it based on armbians.
• As I understaand, to make armbian work on tv box, the first step you need a working u-boot for your tv box. is it possible to dump uboot and dtb file from the android tv box? I can see the android tv box already using u-boot from 2018.
• if possible to dump u-boot the from android tv box, what are the next steps? build your own armbian images? or same steps like the youtuber video, first burn normal armbian image, then burn u-boot image , then then manually do some tweaks.

h616 tv box boot log.
