Wow, thank you for this comprehensive answer. It will probably take me about as much time as until 6.19 is released to try and understand it 😂 Why does this say archlinux? And also, where to get these "idbloader.img" and "u-boot.itb" files from? The console is ttyS0, it works.

@Lesano https://linux-sunxi.org/Tanix_TX1 shouldn’t be hard to make a armbian config for this board since it's mainlined. You probably want this patch to add wifi and hdmi. https://gitlab.manjaro.org/iuncuim/linux/-/blob/eccecabc2ca2d6efb463edc94aa0ef383d8ae200/0650-arm64-dts-allwinner-h313-Tanix-TX1-TVbox.patch You would need to boot over USB cable. I never booted over USB so I can't help with that. https://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot

From what I know it isn't possible to boot without emmc on the amlogic TV boxes

During first boot if the wifi router is not online, the whole setup skips wifi configuration. It would have good if it keeps scanning for new wifi names everytime it fails to connect to chosen option.

PSA - trunk 130 is not a bootable image. trunk 100 works fine.
