KODI was part of version <5.44. In Version 5.44, it is not in the default image. In addition, there are other problems.

Good tip, I will do so in the next versions. But this does not solve the second problem - when users still try to do it and then ask questions.

Standard repositories do not have KODI with HW.

Yes, install ".deb" KODI was only a part of the image versions with Mate and XFCE (up to version 5.44). Starting with version 5.44 I no longer include KODI in the images. Because: 1. There are several variants of KODI (17 and 18). Now users decide and install the version they need. 2. Now version Armbian start to use as a regular office PC, which does not need KODI.

You have the s905W. I don't have that model, I can't help you. You need to build your version of dtb file. You can try to take the dts sources from the file that you use from Alexelec and adapt them to the Armbian kernel in the part that describes the eMMC parameters.

I'm tired of saying the same thing. For all. Kernel 4.16 does not support internal eMMC memory. Do not attempt to install to the eMMC. You get problems.

1. What is your exact model of TV box ? 2. Which version of the image are you using ? 3. What is the dtb file are you using ?

1. What is your exact model of TV box ? 2. Which version of the image are you using ? 3. What exactly did you change in the files ?

I don't know what you're writing. All images have /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb1.

I can assume that this is a rectangle marked in yellow (but this is only a guess and probably not correct, be careful). For UART, a 4-pin connector is typically used (which uses only 3 pins). In the photo (yellow rectangle) two rows of 4 contacts. I don't know which of the contact rows to refer to UART. Show a photo of the entire Board at the top to try to find labels that describe the purpose of the connectors. Typically, the first 3 contacts are used in the UART connector (the count is from the square contact). The square pin is the ground, the two internal pins are Rx and Tx (or Vice versa Tx and Rx). If you connect and configure and there is no output to the screen in the UART console, you can try to swap the connection to Tx and Rx. Can you show the UART log of the last Armbian image?

What version of the dtb file do you use to run Armbian ?

To make it work properly, it must be collected from the source code with the kernel.

You have the S905W (p281) model and the dtb file from p212 will not work correctly. dtb 1 soc: gxl plat: p281 vari: 2g Find match dtb: 1

2.) At Android/Settings/About Device/System/updates. Note: You may have the Update and Backup app in the App Drawer. -From the Update and Backup App, under the UpdateLocale section, click Select, select aml_autoscript.zip, click update. http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/amlogic-based-tv-players/s905/tronsmart-ac/firmware-roms-tools-at/565449-running-linux-from-sd-card-or-usb-flash-drive-using-balbes150-method-and-files http://forum.khadas.com/t/instructions-installation-multios-3in1-android-libreelec-linux-from-balbes150/2107

The script works correctly. All data is written to the eMMC without errors. When launched from the eMMC, the new kernel is loaded without errors and started. The reason is dtb data. This is the behavior I see when dtb data is incorrect (the kernel cannot start correctly). What dtb is used when starting from SD card ?

I do not create any catalogs manually. This is done by the kernel or software (with appropriate support). What version of Android ?

I know how to connect the UART. I am looking for testing users, with s805, who have a UART console connected.

Look at the topic on the link, the user describes a similar problem and its solution.

Question. Does anyone have a s805-based TV box with a connected UART console ?

modprobe wlan

Look for information on the brand of the chip (if you're lucky) or ask the supplier. There can be many reasons, from incorrect dtb to banal overheating.

This version does not support eMMC.

Select the correct dtb file.
