@Lavacat - that sounds like the x7(5G) box i have here ... the 12v power supply seems to work, but i'm not sure how healthy it is over time - it might be better to get a 5v/2a as usual if easily possible ... also do not expect the audio of the box to work well with linux as it seems to be somewhat broken as well for those boxes the s905l2 is - as far as i found out - a s905w with parts of the gpu disabled and if that is not taken care of the kernel will panic at boot - this was my ugly hack to make it work: https://github.com/hexdump0815/linux-mainline-and-mali-generic-stable-kernel/blob/master/misc.av8/dtb/meson-gxl-s905l2-x7-5g.dts not sure if @SteeMan might want to add something like this to his armbian builds as well? best wishes and good luck - hexdump

@sfx2000 - you might have a look at this: https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/issues/130#issuecomment-1453574856 - this is about getting another rk3288 chromebox booting - from there you can maybe see what needs to be added to armbian to get it supported there as well best wishes - hexdump

@SteeMan - in case you want to experiment (i.e. not sure if it really works), you might play around with chainloading the g12a-u-boot.bin (s905x2) and sm1-u-boot.bin (s905x3) from https://github.com/hexdump0815/u-boot-misc/releases/tag/200926-01 or gxb-u-boot.bin (s905) or gxl-u-boot.bin (s905x) from https://github.com/hexdump0815/u-boot-misc/releases/tag/200718-01 ... basic chainloading goes like this - https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/blob/master/boot/boot-amlogic_gx-aarch64/s905_autoscript.txt - maybe compare it to the balbes150 boot scripts for fancier ways and most probably better armbian integration ... the files mostly exist in a serial version for serial console and another one for hdmi output and usb keyboard input (which sometimes works and sometimes not) ... better ignore the boot-xyz.dd file at the links above - they are for booting amlogic boxes without the legacy u-boot, but using them is quite complicated and risky (you can seriously brick the box worst case) as mentioned all this is without any warranty or support, but it might be a good starting point for experiments good luck and best wishes - hexdump
