RAW -> save as

https://github.com/150balbes/Build-Armbian/issues/8 Do not enter people astray, I never did Coreelec and do not have this system any way. Version about which you write, this is a test Libreelec (core 4.20) with the addition of drivers DVB from the AFL1 (which is intended for the kernel 4.x). All DTS you can find here. https://github.com/150balbes/Amlogic_s905-kernel/tree/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic

add 5.72 NEXT kernel 5.0 for s9xxx

Version 5.72 update 20190123 (kernel 4.4 and 5.0). On SERVER NEXT images (with kernel 5.0), support for DTB for MX10 has been added, and the system can be managed via SSH.

You need to check all the DTBS in the gxl group. Are you correct ? If there is no system boot then nothing can work.

Try all variants of DTB p200 and p201 It's unknown.

LE about which you write , using a kernel 3.14, 5.71 Armbian used by the kernel 4.20. Therefore, you cannot run Armbian with the dtb from kernel 3.14. You copied the dtb file, but that doesn't mean it's being used.

You can make a temporary branch to merge and test in your GIT. You will add whatever you see fit. I will download this version of the test brunch, build test images with it, check and write the result (or add the necessary direct patches for this test brunch, which you can apply without using git on a local copy).

@Igor When you start getting the full version of the firmware, through the interface "armbian-config", the old version 5.60 is downloaded and installed (there are not important firmware files "meson" for HW on Aml S9xxx). Can you update this package on the server (at least to version 5.72, it has these files), so that can use the firmware for the decoder based on the main kernel ?

Perhaps in the absence of activity, the external drive goes into hibernation and the USB port does not recognize it. You can try to view the DTB settings and the USB port management settings (do not use power saving).

Yes, from now on images for S905 and S912 will be released separately. So far, there are almost no differences between them. The only difference is the default DTB. Now in the images S912 specified a dtb to the VIM2 and you can try to run the image to S912. This is preparing to move to HW support. s905 and s912 use different variants of HW LIMA or PANFROST.

If everything works at 5.0, there's no point in dropping to 4.20.

You can check on your model MX10 work this option, the dtb ? https://yadi.sk/d/3rYYaaJBcTmd_A

For all images except the older versions with kernel 3.14.29 it is necessary to configure the dtb (according to the recommendations for each option, please note that the recommendations are different for each kernel). For the 4.9 kernel, you must configure the dtb. In your case (potential problems with eMMC) you need to configure all images to use dtb from external media (including kernel 3.14.29).

All images with kernel 4.x require that you configure the dtb.

Use dtb p200 instead.

Armbian probably supports OrangPI\Allwinner and there are special images for this (I don't know exactly). But it's in other images. In this thread the info about the images for Amlogic. Plis Specify where was the information about DTB for OrangPi ?

New image 5.71 kernel 4.4 and 5.0 20190120 Add info

Held on Khadas EDGE (RK3399) advanced tests on 4K TV (resolution of the XFCE desktop environment full 4K). MPV and Gstreamer plays all files all formats (including 4K) without problems in full screen. Separately describe browser. I installed system components, MPV Gstreamer and KODI. The system part is the default armsoc. I use a regular browser (not accelerated versions of 32 bits). Once again, the desktop Resolution = 4K (XFCE). YouTube through the browser to full screen easily pulls all versions 1080p videos. When you select 4K video, the video is played in "chunks" - 2-3 seconds of smooth playback, then freezes and turns the white circle on the screen, then again 2-3 seconds smoothly and so constantly. I think this is a limitation of my Internet channel (or YouTube itself). Because the video itself (in YouTube 4K mode) shows smoothly and without friezes in the intervals when it works. So if you do "window" display mode, playable - "pieces". Maybe not enough of some buffer settings or anything, I'm not an expert. The conclusion I made for myself. RK3399-perfectly copes with any task of playing full-screen video. For local video (USB SD eMMC) or from a local network with a NAS where there is no bandwidth limit, any video goes without brakes to full screen with 4K scaling. For video from the Internet-no problem running any video for which enough channel. By the way, even the 1080p video on the 4K screen looks very good, I'm impressed. By the way, the window from the applications, after installing the script are dragged quickly , almost as it was before the installation of the script, there are no protracted movements. I agree with the opinion of @JMCC, for a component to work properly, it is important to have a properly configured system with the right kernel. p.s. By the way, when the desktop 4K resolution and full - screen video playback in YouTube, there was another problem-it is very difficult to see the mouse cursor, it is very small and have to look for a long time on the screen where it is. But i'm can see much more information (video options or comments) immediately on the screen ....

Are you confused? My Amlogic images don't have any DTBS for Allwinner.

What is the image trying ? What dtb ? How do you set up a dtb ? What is the exact version of the image installed on the eMMC ? What media are you trying to use (sd or USB) ?

Start the system from external media and try to check the file system in the eMMC. You may need to reinstall.

I propose to discuss the use of TV boxes (SbC) as a multifunctional complex that can be used as a PC and a universal media center. I've been testing a lot of different models lately that may qualify for this role. Later I will publish General notes, which I got on different models of processors and specific models of TV boxes.

Is It Allwinner ?
