@remolaan I think this is the most current info that may help you:

From the boot log, the uboot can't recognize the internal emmc. It appears that the u-boot you are using is one based on u-boot 20-07. I would recommend rebuilding the u-boot-s905x-s912 based on a more current u-boot source. The instructions for doing this are in the readme.txt file in build-u-boot folder. If this helps, then report back here and I can look at including a newer build in the distribution going forward.

These forums are for Armbian Linux issues. This is not the place to ask for android firmwares.

As long as the board isn't dead it is starting to boot. That is why Werner directed you to how to capture the uboot booting messages via a uart connection to the board.

I don't understand what you are asking for. Can you be more specific?

https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Commands If I read your post correctly, I think you want ./compile.sh kernel ... which will build the kernel debs but not the full image

I think this line is wrong. I don't believe that the overlay_prefix should be included here, try with overlays=i2c1-pi I seem to recall mention of a bug in armbian-config that was doing the wrong thing regarding overlay_prefix when selecting overlays.

Thanks for investigating this. I have seen this issue reported quite a bit recently. I assumed it was something that had changed at the dtb level. Knowing this helps provide guidance to others in the same situation.

You are not running Armbian. You are running a fork of Armbian. You need to ask for help from the place you downloaded your software from.

What version of Armbian did you install (complete file name)? What do you mean by "the screen stopped working"? Did it once work and then stop? And by screen do you mean HDMI?

I'm not aware of anyplace that would exist anymore.

The documentation is for the current version of armbian-config. You are using an older version. There was a rewrite of armbian-config between what you have and the current functionality.

Moved to the allwinner forum

Closing this. This isn't going anywhere good. Both sides have made their points.

What steps are you doing to get this working manually? What is the overlay file you are loading (trying to load), and where does that file exist on the system?
