Kernel 3.14 is no longer developing (not supported), so you will have to try to add the necessary support for WiFi in this version of the kernel or contact the manufacturer (seller) of your equipment. S905 = gxbb Check all available DTB of this group.

Added to the site a test version of the image 20181117 with the addition of a number of WiFi modules (dir 5.67/WIFI). I'm not sure it will work, this way on my MVR9 WiFi stopped working. Anyone can try on their models. The test image on the basis of the kernel of 4.19 (dir DEV_NEXT). On MVR9 with dtb "rock64" in the settings, the system starts from the SD card, there is HDMI (output to the monitor), a wired network and USB. Thus, there are all the minimum elements necessary for the initial work.

Update ver 5.67 20181117 The version of the image with Xenial - will be assembled only on request.

Accidentally discovered in the latest version of Armbian 5.67 (VIM2) reaction (sound is added and decreased when the test video is played) control the sound volume in MPV from the remote control from Khadas. I wonder if it’s just me or other people’s as well ?

Version 5.67 20181117. Added support for ISCSI and deb packages kernel, header etc. The version of the image with Xenial - will be assembled only on request. p.s. When checking, it turned out that WiFi works on Khadas VIM2 Basic (with AP6356S chip). Khadas VIM1 (s905x) works WiFi and BT.

For TV boxes (and not only) everything you need to run different systems from external media has long been developed, tested and used on thousands of devices. And it's called " universal multi-boot." It is used in all versions of Armbian, Libreelec, Archlinux, Volumio etc for TV boxes on Amlogic s905 s912 s805 S812 etc. If you like to "reinvent the wheel" - that's your right. By the way, you can run an external system without any modification of u-boot (for example, if the user does not want to make the minimum changes to the existing system on his TV box), but it is not convenient, because it will require each time to run a regular Android and perform several steps in it.

It will be in the next version.

The new version 20181116. Added support for ZRAM , iscsi.

I'm not a masochist to put on such experiments. I have everything I need to restore almost any AML TV box, but I'm not going to do such stupid experiments. All the more I strongly not recommend other to do such experiments without serious training and real need. This command completely erases the entire eMMC (including the u-boot loader), turning the TV box into a brick. To start system, you need a guaranteed working version of u-boot for your TV box model or set (firmware+cable+software) to restore from the PC. The instruction referenced by the user is intended solely for developers who need to be able to test their work. In particular, check the operation of its version of u-boot. Are you a system developer?

Sorry for the delay in answering. I just now happened to see this topic (alas, my barely enough time to read via translator sub-forum about TV boxes). Igor correctly pointed out that the main problem is the lack of time. You can do any thing, but it takes extra time, which, alas, is always very lacking. It is possible to add to the official GIT Assembly for TV boxes, but it requires additional work of all real participants who are working on the creation of Armbian.

If you run ArchLinux, so Armbian can start. They use close kernels (the kernel in ArchLinux is added from Armbian).

Good news. I'm managed to find a variant of u-boot with which can run Linux from external media on EDGE. This is the important step for creating Armbian and other systems for Khadas EDGE. There are images from Ubuntu to write to eMMC and to run from external media. I tried a quick test image with LXDE, and it works. I recorded the image to an SD card, connected it to Khadas EDGE and when I turned on the power, the system started automatically. You do not need any manipulation with multi-boot, it is already by default, when you disable the SD card , automatically starts the regular Android from eMMC. I tried the combined version of the launch LE, the system starts, but while the KODI interface does not start, there is something to work on ....

Update version 5.64 201114. Added support for BT on VIM1 (s905X).

Version 20181113. Expanded the list of modules for wifi.

Both addresses are correct. But each is used for its task (function). 1. It is very bad advice - to destroy regular u-boot on TV box. You run the risk of getting a brick that will have to be restored. If the user is lucky and has the necessary firmware files for recovery, cable, software and skills for this, he will be able to recover. 2. Since when are scripts not part of Armbian ? I really want to look at the source code (build environment) "pure vanilla Armbian" for TV boxes.

I do not know what is the cause of the problems on the Z28 (I do not have this model, you need to watch the UART logs), but on MVR9 (rk3328) with a Gigabit network everything works fine. The system automatically starts from the SD card and runs all equipment (including wired Gigabit network).

I got my EDGE this weekend. And in the coming days plans to start assembling and testing Armbian for Khadas EDGE. By the way, according to Robert, this model plays well videos up to 4K on Ubuntu from Youtube. https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/rockchip-based-tv-players/rk3399-devices/733786-edge-rk3399-by-khadas-for-those-that-like-to-tinker?p=750851#post750851

Update Ver 20181112

You have not added the "dtb.img" file to the /boot partition for your model. reading dtb.img ** Unable to read "dtb.img" from usb 0:1 **

For those who need WiFi-use versions with kernel 3.14. On systems with a 4.18\19 core, there is no WiFi support for most chips. Or you need to build your own version of the kernel with the addition of patches for the Desired wifi chips.

To build version 4.x I use sources from Martin. It will be good if you test the version results with kernel 4.x will be duplicated in the mailing list, where this information will be able to see the developers. http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-amlogic

You can just about s805x = s905x

Update ver 5.64 (kernel 3.10).

Because it's not meant to be.

It is possible, but it will take time. Packages with HW used from Assembly ayufan, they need to modify and assemble with the new settings. I expect in the next version (to get one with Debian feature set) is not included by default, these packets from ayufan. For those who want to use them, you will need to perform a set of steps to install and configure them yourself. I'll see what I can do. I do not give any guarantees (I do not have such equipment). Did you check if any mmcblk0\1\2 appeared ? You need to try the tools to extract the firmware file. Maybe then you can get the dtb.
