Why does it fail when booting from spl, and not when booting from the sd?

Do you have the same uboot installed to spi as you have on the sd?

[Can't figure out how to boot SD card on T95m box]

You need to find an original android firmware for you box and restore it using the Amlogic burning tool.

Moved to the correct forum: Community Maintained -> Rockchip.  The NanoPC T4 is not a supported board.  It is Community Maintained.

[vontar x3, S905x3 does not boot after apt upgrade]

Everything looks correct if your intention is to be using the nightly repository for daily builds. 

 

You shouldn't need to use armbian-config for anything other than to switch from nightly to stable repositories.  Using standard 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade' should be what you use to update all packages (both armbian and ubuntu).

 

 

[vontar x3, S905x3 does not boot after apt upgrade]

What is the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list file?

and what is the output of:  sudo apt list --installed | grep linux

and:  sudo apt list --installed | grep armbian

[vontar x3, S905x3 does not boot after apt upgrade]

You are not missing anything.  Currently stable gets updated each Armbian release (so every three months) and nightly is a new build every day.

[Apart from the usual `backup before upgrading`. Should I invoke a do-release-upgrade to update to Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS?]

The official answer is that it is not officially supported by Armbian nor tested.

 

Having said that, it usually works.  So you should have backups and have your expectations set that it may not work and you will need to go back to the backup.

[Orange Pi 5B cant boot when installed to mmc]

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

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

(Since you didn't provide info like versions or build information)

[D9 Meson GXL S905L 2-B wifi not working and limited RAM]

They are vastly different because one for for android and the other is for mainline linux.  Vastly different code bases.  Expert dtb gurus can gather info from one to help with the other but there aren't any such gurus generally in these forums providing that advise.

 

That is why in the TV Box FAQ it says not to expect you will have working wifi. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first

 

[torsocks: tor package recommended, but should be a dependency]

All of the userspace packages come directly from upstream repositories.

I think you are missing the point @Werner stated stated above.

As mentioned Armbian kernel comes with wireguard module pre-installed so nothing besides the userspace tools is required

Wireguard is preinstalled on Armbian.  So there isn't anything you should need to install other than the tools (depending on build).

 

On all my Armbian install wireguard works with no extra installation required, just configuration.

[Install to EMMC Amlogic]

Moved to the correct sub forum (Amlogic TV boxes)

[Install to EMMC Amlogic]

There are hundreds of different TV boxes.  No one likely has tried on those specific boxes.  So I would say try from an SD card first to see if the box works at all, and note the warning in the install instructions that installing to emmc has risks (on any amlogic TV box).

 

[Old Release Armbian]

No I don't.  If they are not here https://armbian.tnahosting.net/archive/aml-s9xx-box/archive

then they are no longer stored by Armbian.

 

Have you tried a current build?

Note the comment in the install instructions that if you have installed any other build, you will not be able to use the armbian builds without an android firmware restore.

[Errors while trying to run 'sudo apt upgrade']

Can you run:

apt list --installed| grep armbian

apt list --installed| grep linux

 

 

[T95Z Plus 3GB/32GB - EMMC not found]

So yes the emmc isn't detected (there is no mmcblk1).  Are you sure you have emmc on the box?  (I have for example some TX3 boxes that have old style nand instead of emmc and mainline linux doesn't support nand.  TV Box manufacturers will cut costs in anyway possible and nand is cheaper than emmc)  You would need open the box and inspect what physical chips are installed.

 

Since I don't have your box, there is little I can do to debug this.  Have you looked at the full log of the boot process to look for any indication of issues reported during the boot?  (You would need to find the debug serial console pins on the mother board and hook up a usb serial reader to capture the boot messages)  (some of this information goes to HDMI, but some gets output before HDMI is initialized).

That isn't a message produced by the install-aml.sh script. 

What does lsblk output?

[T95Z Plus 3GB/32GB - EMMC not found]

@Ian Coelho How about some basic information first.  What build are you running?  What dtb are you using?  What dtbs have you tried?  How are you attempting to install to emmc?

So if 5B and 5Plus is supported, 5Max should be supported as well, right?

Not right at all.  Every SBC that has different hardware configuration requires a different dtb file that describes the hardware to the Linux kernel.  So every SBC needs it's own build ( sometimes dtb overlays can be used to shortcut this).  And similar issues can exist at the uboot level too.

-I am using the attached h96max-x2-test-bus80-gpu-volt.dtb

So this dtb is not part of the image?

Where are you placing the custom dtb?  Do not put it in the dtb directory as that entire directory is removed and replaced on a kernel update.  Put it in /boot or a custom subdirectory and adjust the extlinux file accordingly.

[vontar x3, S905x3 does not boot after apt upgrade]

Also, what dtb are you using and what uboot.bin file?

[vontar x3, S905x3 does not boot after apt upgrade]

What kernel version are you successfully running with?

What version is apt trying to upgrade to?

Are you running from SD card?

Is this a new install of 24.11.0-trunk that you are then immediately trying to apt upgrade?

As Igor says, I'm assuming you have a separate /boot partition that is FAT separate from your / root partition.  In that case, this would be a normal 'warning' message for a system that has a FAT /boot partition.  All of my devices fall in that category (with a FAT /boot partition) and I see this message for every update. 

[Armbian with preinstalled Home Assistant supervised]

@shubkin  Here are my recommendations, fist try to get plain Armbian to run on your box.  (https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box/)

 

Then if that works, follow the DIY instructions on the first post to make your own build with the framework installed (ENABLE_EXTENSIONS="ha) and then try running that build.

 

My personal Home Assistant server is running on a TX3-Mini box which is Amlogic S905w, but I just run the standard HA docker build as that server setup predates this Armbian extension.  

 

So it certainly is possibly to run HA on a box like you have (given all the caviates mentioned in the Read First post Igor Link to above)
