Add to the parameter string (in the file "uEnv.ini") parameter " mac=00:ac:3f:75:c0:ff"

If I'm not confused, does the WP2 use the s905 chip ? For this chip images LE with the kernel 4 collects Chewitt and other developers in the community LE (I have no model WP2 for test build) .

what dtb do you use ?

I was sent this model 2\16 for tests. I have on this model, the image (from the kernel-4.18 directory), works with the dtb file for Khadas VIM1 (test video works with sound). But there is a nuance to run versions with DE Mate\Xfce. After the initial setup, when the system automatically reboots, wait at least 5-7 minutes, at this time the screen will be black, then use the combination Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to the first (text) console, and then switch back to the graphical console Ctrl+Alt+F7 and wait 2-3 minutes. After such manipulation should earn DE. Write me in PM your email address, I will send you a link to the image LE kernel 4.18, which is already partially working ffmpeg with HW via v4l-m2m. This image works for me on X96mini as well. It is possible to take the files you need to port to Armbian.

What model of TV box do you have ?

The official git armbian\build adds the tvboxes test branch. Everyone is invited to participate in the development , testing and maintenance of different models of TV boxes. https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/tvboxes

The reason is not dtb. To build FFMPEG for kernel 4.18 (using v4l-m2m), you need to use the sources and patches of FFMPEG that are part of the Libreelec build. Mali7 packages are not needed, they are only for kernel 3.14

The update of the kernel 3.14. Added dtb files for S905W. This core was collected new images in the directory "5.44\kernel_3.14_20180721". I'm Checked the operation of the Mate image on X96 mini s905w 2\16. After automatic OTA update of Android firmware in eMMC to 20180505, the images work WITHOUT manual addition of dtb file. Checked the installation of the system in eMMC (using the script /root/install.sh), everything is installed without errors and the system works from eMMC.

Wait awhile. Recently I was sent a test sample with S905w (x96), soon I plan to create and check dtb file for s905w.

The latest version of Armbian with kernel 4.18 is based on patches (and developments) that Ely writes about (this is one of the developers I wrote you about).

Image update kernel 4.18 (catalog 5.44). add tv-out 1440x900

Maybe your model doesn't have USB support in existing dtb files. Use an SD card for images with kernel 4.16 or use kernel h version 3.14.

1. TV box model 2. image version 3. steps that were made to run Armbian

The developer community LibreELEC now working to support v4l-m2m is mainly the core for AML. There is already some progress. I invite you to join this work. You agree ?

These are binary files that are provided in a ready-made form from ARM.

The Mali libraries are in the aml-mali7 package. Try to install it and start a new build.

On the first page there are instructions and video how to configure Armbian.

These cores have different structure and dtb data. A "manual" transfer (creation) of a new variant of dtb is required.

How do you select settings in the graphical shell, which menu items do you choose ? I am a supporter of full systems. Thanks to the universal multi-boot you can use on TV boxes full different systems (Android Linux etc). If you need Android apps, use it. If you want Linux - use Linux. Emulation is always worse (with errors) than a full-fledged system. I allow emulation only when it is really necessary (there is no other possibility). While KODI with HW works only under kernel 3.14 (on s905\x\D\W and s912). Core 4.x KODI can only be used with soft decoding (on s912 this makes it possible to play back only 720p in a software screen)

1. You will not be able to build the Jesi version from the current BUILD. All repositories have changed a lot and become non-working. Try asking other users if someone has old images. 2. To build version 4.16, you need to enter the source directory, manually set the GIT state to the desired commit, and manually run the Assembly (either through the script in cross-compile mode, or not directly on the TV box).

After checking the write result. If this works, there is a chance that it can be used on all s9xxx (including s912). This opens up the possibility to collect MPV or KODI with hardware acceleration and without libMali.

4.16 uses this commit to build the kernel. The easiest way to build your core on the TV box. https://github.com/150balbes/Amlogic_s905-kernel/commit/c3528191c4d3ab675c2aca5a73c2856f216f6540 The script is useful for cross-compiling, to build on the device itself enough conventional commands "make -jX image dtbs" You can create a file instead of a SWAP partition. You can create a SWAP file on the eMMC. It will be significantly faster than on USB or SD. I think it's possible.

I have no equipment with RK3399, so all told, that's just my guess. When you build u-boot, you have not made the necessary changes to the Linux startup parameters (ENV variables). And did not create the necessary partition structure (file system) on the media. In the log it is clearly seen that u-boot is not found partition table (standard sections for Android). Stop running u-boot and execute the "help" and "printenv" commands. Show the result here. Or show the source code u-boot, which describes the variables to run.

After moving the libraries to a new location, have you created settings and run "ldconfig" ?
