Good news. Build the first version of Armbian for TV box x96 max (S905X2). While not working, sound via HDMI, WiFi. Test images on the site in the catalog S905X2.

You need to select local update and select the file "aml_autoscript.zip"

Your firmware cannot work with kernel 3.14

Can you upload your finished image to the Internet ?

Update image 20190401 and NEXT kernel

Summarizing the action. There was another surprise from the results of the action.

What exactly is the error of multi-boot activation ? Write in detail all the steps.

Perhaps your device uses its own settings to manage the wired network in DTB. You will have to analyze the parameters in DTS from Android and compare them with the options in DTS Linux and build your DTB based on the differences.

It will not work, there is a different type of CPU.

What is the exact model of the TV box ? Where is the cable connected (to which router) ? Judging by the log, requests are sent, but there is no response from the DHCP server (router).

Is that a satellite receiver ?

Two options Basic 2GB RAM and Pro 4GB RAM are available for now. The remaining components of the kit are compatible with these models.

Have you checked all available DTBS in the image ?

One secret. From today (01 04 2019) opens a pre-order for a unique set. It consists of EDGE-V-M + heatsinc + fan + case + power supply + remote control = $ 99. Offer is limited. Details about EDGE-V-M (RK3399). This is a new modification with unique features that will allow you to use this model as a TV box with Android or LibreELEC. Or Armbian mode full miniPC with DE or as a server. Or as a multi-functional device in 3-in-one mode (Android + LibreELEC + Armbian or other Linux variant).

Built a new Armbian image 5.77 20190331 kernel 4.4 with PCIe NVME support (added patch and changed dtb which is used by default to edge+Captain version). Module EVO-970 now can be seen immediately in the system and can work with it as with usual drive. The speed of NVME is impressive. All components work (WiFi, BT, wired network, sound, etc.). After installing the media script - any video in full screen with any resolution up to 4K.

1. If the failure is not critical, then simply connect the SD card with the system and start the recovery. If the failure is critical (u-boot in eMMC is partially destroyed), to run from an external SD card, you will need a checked (working for your TV box model) u-boot on the SD card and closing the contacts on the eMMC chip to block the launch of the corrupted u-boot in eMMC and start the system from the SD card. 2. Yes. 3. Be sure to check the system from the SD card (that would work all the components that you need) and only then run the installation in the eMMC.

Perhaps in the original Armbian uses its own logic of designation of the cores and the system being built I do not pretend to be true, but I try to stick to the logic of the Linux systems and "adult" distributions. In them, "default" means stable, proven, reliable in use, recommended for the average user. "DEV" is a future system that is being developed , can be improved, but can potentially contain bugs and is recommended for advanced users. "Next" is the analogy of the symbol of the Linux kernel, i.e. the image of the "next" Armbian uses the core of the "NEXT" Linux. So less confusion when comparing the user designations of the image and the kernel, which it has. PS I do not impose anything on anyone, it is only my personal opinion.

The next version is built from the Linux Next kernel sources with minimal additional patches. That is, it is almost a "pure" core , as it is in the source code. This allows you to evaluate what is working or not in the current version of NEXT (and expect what will happen with a stable kernel when the Next version turns into a stable version).

Added to site version 5.77 with NEXT kernel 5.1.0-rc2.

There is no such problem with RK. This is the problem of the manufacturer of the specific equipment (or rather the problem of support of this equipment). I have TV boxes on the basis of RK3328. On them everything works without problems (Armbian and LibreELEC). Including video and audio output in 4K mode (using a media script). The only problem is, you need to modify the cooling. The same applies to rk3399, if you select the correct model , the user receives a fully complete and ready to use equipment. On rk3328 can normally be used as a mini PC with the desktop resolution up to 1080p. For those who need a desktop resolution of 4K or max performance model rk3399. PS I would be interested to check a few assumptions, if there are owners of Renegad or Rock64, write, discuss the steps.

For what purpose do you want to use Linux (what tasks do you plan to solve on this hardware) ? PS You can write to me in PM in Russian.
