    I don't know what happens with your images but is impossible to me to burn using my Laptop with Ubuntu 16.04.

    All the entry works correctly, cause in Your system.

    I've been using your S905 images for a while now (on a Mini M8S II). Great job and great effort, I really appreciate it. However, I do use Kszaq's LibreELEC as my main OS, as the primary job of this box was to function as media player. I'm now thinking of replacing LibreELEC with your ARMBIAN image as they provide both a good Kodi and Linux desktop experience.

    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.

    please suggest any method to install aml_autoscript from usb flash drive . I have tried https://yadi.sk/d/c9kY4tuLuPF3Y/v04

    and i have ended with  "E:footer is wrong  ; signature verification failed"

     

    ps: I don;t need to multiboot ( i need to install armbian to nand  and no need to keep android)

    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).

    you last image works a lot better then the previous one.  Although my wifi is not working, but now it boot's a lot faster and sounds works.  I'm on a mk808b plus and the needed dtb is M201-1G.

    Have you tried to load the WiFi module ?

    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.

     Here is attached the serial output of the tvbox.

    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.

    How I can add this WIFI driver to Armbian S9xxx? 

    It is possible to appear in the next version.

    all is done but the system is not starting from eMMC, only from SD card

    Is tere anything else I should do/copy to be able to start it from eMMC without SD card?

    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.

    Is there any way to add the rest of the devices?

    To add\change the set of modules you need to build a new kernel.

    Hello can anyone explain me what does this two scripts do  -> s805_autoscript  and aml_autoscript 

    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.

    When trying to activate multiboot I received this message.

    I've done the process with other S802+2gb tvbox (U box ione) and its works.

    Do I understand correctly that you are using the same SD card to activate the multi-boot on all TV boxes ? On some TV boxes activation takes place this SD card, and one model does not work (error message with a photo) ?

    activate 2 GB Ram

    Judging by the logs, you have a model n200C . So you need to pick up the dtb from this group. When you start with dtb n200C_1GB system starts but a lot of mistakes from the media. Multiboot you have already activated, so try to use a USB flash drive to capture the image and add dtb n200C_1GB. I have my doubts that your model has real 2GB of RAM, it is desirable to open the case and get the brand of memory chips.

    Perhaps the manufacturer specially recorded in the built-in dtb is not correct RAM, the kernel in Armbian itself checks for physical memory access and sets the real value (which it itself received under test).

    I'll try to do my own tests but it would be nice if you could tell me what you already know.

    I have no terminal equipment to check SPDIF.

    .i have a NexBox A5 (905X) and i have installed LibreElec on the EMMC....how to boot Armbian...i need to do some testing...i have inserted MicroSD but it goes to the internal (LE) install

    You need to activate the multi-boot. For example , method of using floss media written Armbian.

    I will test libreelec and latest armbian and if it does work i'll have to dig through audio patches and ask @balbes150 if he can add them to his armbian image.

    If you have patches, I'll be able to include them in the source code for the shared Assembly.

    A million times it has been discussed, but yet, the first post in this thread explains nothing about it.
    I'd say maybe change the first post and add there all the important stuff that go around these boxes so people won't have to read all these pages with no actual interest.

    Thanks again for your help, but keep it low.

    Write the desired text, I'll post in the first post.
