  1. This is certainly possible.  The level of difficulty depends on exactly what you mean by 'using a different kernel'.  Start with https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Welcome

     

    The basic Armbian kernel build process is to start with a kernel git tree, apply a bunch of patches that are missing from said tree (usually patches that haven't yet made it to mainline), combine with a kernel specific config file and build the resulting kernel.

     

    So depending on what the differences are between your 'different kernel' and what Armbian builds, you could insert your different kernel into any/all of those areas (i.e. you could add the missing patches that other kernel has, you could fix/change the kernel config to add/removed features, or you could use an entirely different git kernel source tree, or a combination of these three). 

     

    The key would be to figure out what is different between the Armbian and other kernel that is relevant for your board.  Ideally this could be done as a PR to Armbian to add better support for that board into Armbian.

  2. Moved post to unsupported/community maintained. This is not a supported board.

     

    My mistake, misread the post.  This is pine64 not pinebook a64.  That board should be supported but the forum structure isn't up to date.  I have added the correct tag for the post, but left it in the original locatation.

  3. If you click the button on that page labeled: Community Maintained Builds?  (it is just above the selectors for all of the builds), then on the github page that link takes you to, click on Download Latest Image?

     

    Or to save you the work you could use the link at the top of the FAQ instructions.

     

    Or just go here: https://github.com/armbian/community/releases (latest build is 211, note they are listed in alpha order so the newest is not at the top)

    But now my question I only see the below files:

    u-boot-s905x2-s922

    u-boot-s905x-s912

    u-boot-s905

     

    I don't see anything for s905x3. Which one I should copy to u-boot.ext for s905x3?

     

    Your tutorial says there should be 4 files, but I  got 3 files. I don't have the u-boot-s905x3 in there. 

    I downloaded

    Armbian_23.8.1_Aml-s9xx-box_jammy_current_6.1.50.img

    and

    Armbian_23.8.1_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.1.50.img

     

    from the archived section of the link you sent me. 

    Use the u-boot-s905x3 found in the current rolling releases.  Why are you trying to use an old archived release?

  5. Providing logs with 

    armbianmonitor -u

     helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

    This doesn't look like an Armbian kernel.  What image are you using?

  6. I personally would say no.  No one has submitted anything to Armbian related to these TV boxes.  So none of the progress you see discussed in the forums is Armbian based.  It is all done on forks of Armbian or other outside work.  Until you start seeing someone step up and begin submitting PRs to Armbian for any of this work, I wouldn't say it has a future for you to consider it a replacement for anything.

    However if you only need to get something working once and don't care about receiving future kernel updates, then taking a build you see here would be fine.
