Which dtb to use ? Try using the other dtb.

Burn the image Armbian and activate the multi-boot with it as you did the first time with the image LE.

Pay attention to the last image (20180116), significantly changed the list of dtb files. Part of these files may not work correctly. Therefore, to find a working version, you need to try all of the files for their group. For example, for Vega S95 Telos you can use gxbb_p200_2G.dtb , file vegas95.dtb does not work (it need to patch for use with new kernel). Do NOT use these images to install to eMMC. It is not yet validated images.

Yes, you can try to run Armbian external media. Pay attention, for this you need to update the multiboot to that part of the image Armbian.

Uploaded the site to the directory Armbian a test version of the Ubuntu image Mate 20180116 with the new version of the kernel 3.14.29. In this manner significantly extended the list of dtb files. Request to all, to try to run this image with different dtb files (including groups on the model of your TV box). If this kernel will work fine, I will upload the remaining images (Ubuntu\Debian server\DE).

While it is not. Soon will release a new image with the updated kernel. Perhaps it will be possible to add BT.

The system hangs on reading uImage from a USB drive. Try to stop the launch in the console UART and execute manually the command "printenv" and "help". The result show here.

Core to s905 and s912 in common.

Yes, you can try to rectificate-boot using the image Armbian and check the startup LE (build Kszaq or mine, they have the autorun script s905_autoscript) universal multiboot.

The WiFi module is loaded, as described in the first message of this topic ?

All the entry works correctly, cause in Your system. If the main task is watching a video, you better use LE as the main OS in eMMC. KODI in Armbian is designed for simple playback , without additional functions. 1. A major upgrade of the system through the standard procedure of apt upgrade), the kernel is not updated often. You can upgrade it through installation of the finished kernel packages, which are laid out with substantial changes. 2. You can use your build KODI from official sources. The instructions are on the official website of KODI. 3. This cusp (reference to former name for special occasions). 4. Yes, it is normal behavior MATE (there's no support for HW acceleration). 5. New kernel 4.x does not yet have support for video playback in full screen. 6. The opportunity is there, but you need to patch the kernel sources.

There are only two options 1. With SD card in automatic mode 2. From the console UART in the manual you can run all the commands from any media (SD or USB). Have you tried to load the WiFi module ?

Convert a working dtb file (which the system operates) in dts and compare it to the dts file that you have in eMMC. Replace the code and assemble the new dtb with your ID.

If the LE is run from external media on Your TV box, try to connect via SSH and run the command "fw_printenv". The result show here.

The configuration that will be used during Assembly to be in the /boot directory on the recorded media. Kernel sources are here. https://github.com/150balbes/Amlogic_s905-kernel/tree/armbian or config https://github.com/150balbes/build/blob/amlogic/config/kernel/linux-amlogics905x-default.config

Image update S805 20180112. Updated kernel to version 3.10.99. Added screen mode 1080p. This mode is enabled by default. To switch to 720p you need to edit first line of script /boot/hdmi.sh. For smooth playback of test video I recommend to reduce the window size of the reproduced video to the size that would have enough system resources for smooth video playback.

Judging by the log, at the start of u-boot is looking for a specific variant ID aml_dt soc: gxl platform: p281 variant: 1g dtb 0 soc: gxl plat: p281 vari: 1g Therefore, when writing to eMMC with another ID dtb, u-boot can use it. For use Armbian of eMMC, You need to collect and write to eMMC correct option dtb (with proper ID). When you run system from SD card ID in the dtb is not checked.

It is possible to appear in the next version. Perhaps S905W changed in u-boot or set of commands. I don't have s905W, so I don't know what the reason. You will need to look for the cause. This requires the console UART. You need to perform manual commands and watch the results. To add\change the set of modules you need to build a new kernel.

I now checked. Downloaded image Armbian Mate 20171226. Unpacked. Recorded on the USB pendrive (Linux , ROSA Imagewriter). All signed up with no problems.

What size media are you using ?

Added control files for MD5. Added the files to MEGA. Try this link. https://mega.nz/#F!Xw4WVBqY!xgPbJkJkfMUIVoCAX2hBlQ

aml_autoscript - enables multi-upload (one time procedure). s805_autoscript script that starts the system from removable media, taking into account the particularities of each system.
