In addition to the overlay_prefix what is the value of the overlays parameter in your armbianenv.txt? Perhaps post your entire armbianenv.txt file

why does it stop working when I update the operating system?
I don't know. I do not have that issue with my tx3-mini boxes. You would likely need use a usb uart connector to capture the boot log and report it back here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpVMO7gbnYM

1.2 GHz is the rated clock speed of these CPUs. Some android boxes will overclock or just lie about the speed.

I haven't experienced this problem. You will need to provide more details.

I should ask, what image are you working with?
-
It is in the fat32 partition on the sd card. The issue seems to be that that partition is created in such a way that windows can't see it, even though it is a windows formatted partition.

Armbian_25.02.0_amlogic_s905x3_bookworm_6.6.68_server_2025.01.01.img
This is not an Armbian build. Please do not post information here that isn't about Armbian. Ophub is a fork of Armbian. They use the Armbian name without permission. They do not contribute to Armbian development nor do they participate in these forums. Content related to their work shoud be discussed in their forums not here.

Do you have a non-windows machine to use? There may be an incompatibility with the partition type and windows.

TV box with seemingly broken eMMC chip
If your emmc isn't working you won't be able to run the aml-s9xx-tvbox Armbian builds. Those builds use the original boxes uboot on emmc to boot from. So you need an intact working emmc with the original android uboot working.
-
FYI. Using armbian-config will limit you to compatible kernels for your current distribution.

to make it boot from sunxi kernel?
You didn't answer the question from Werner above. What are you trying to do? meson (i.e. Amlogic cpus) and sunxi (i.e. Alwinner cpus) are completely different kernels designed for different CPU families from different CPU manufacturers. You can only use the kernel built for your CPU.

I hope replacing /boot will be the same
Replacing /boot is not the same. You also have to make sure that the contents of the kernel modules are present for the kernel you are loading (i.e. /lib/modules)

This board is not supported by Armbian. It is a Community Maintained board. Which means that the Armbian infrastructure is used to build automated untested builds and make them available for use. Thus that message.
-
The instructions don't say install, they say run. Running from SD card may/will change the boot environment on the mmc and prevent armbian from booting. If you have ever *run* another distribution on the box armbian may not run. You need to reinstall the original android firmware to reset things back to what armbian expects.
-
Read the part about having run *any* other distribution on your box before trying the armbian builds.
-
While normally we discourage references to ophub as they are a fork of Armbian but continue to use the Armbian name without permission for their fork. They also don't contribute back to Armbian nor do they participate in these forums, I think your post is helpful. It would really be nice if someone were to dig into this and submit a PR back to Armbian to bring the support into the base code that is maintained here.
-
Moved to the correct forum (community support). This is not a supported board. Adjusted the tag to reflect the correct board.
-
Change title to reflect the real question and moved to the appropriate forum
-
But the answer to your followup question is: config/sources/families/include/sunxi64_common.inc
-
Why did you title this thread Raspbian if this isn't about a rpi4 or rpi5 device? Maybe you need to explain a bit more about what you are trying to do.
The Armbian builds for RPI devices pretty much use the standard raspbian sources. But the sunxi builds have like a hundred patches applied and that is a lot of work to port all those patches.
-
If you are pulling the armbian build framework from git and following the armbian build instructions, then..
The file you would want to change would be: ./config/sources/families/bcm2711.conf (adjust the appropriate section 'current' or 'edge' for the specific version you are looking to build)
But note then you would also need to port the armbian patches for that kernel version, unless you are OK without having the armbian patches applied to your kernel. The armbian patches are located: ./patch/kernel/archive/bcm2711*

It will be great if these dtb files are ensured to be present for correct function of the GPIO related functions including serial ports.
The short answer is from your first post in this thread:
On 12/6/2024 at 1:53 PM, vtech said:community backed OS for SBCs
These are mostly community supported boards. So it is up to volunteers in the community to add and test features, even ones like this that you consider basic.
However, I think I would add the following comment. Based on another comment you made in the first post:
On 12/6/2024 at 1:53 PM, vtech said:The whole SBC paradigm revolves around accessing GPIO either as Inputs, Outputs, UARTs, SPI or I2C.
That statement I think would have been correct probably 5 years ago. Today, not as much. I would venture to say that today with the latest generation of CPUs that most users are looking to SBCs as desktop replacement devices. So features like video acceleration, etc. are what we see the most requests for. So features like these basic lower level SPI/I2C etc get pushed down the priority list for those that are volunteering their time (unless they have that particular need themselves).
Apt Upgrade causes Rock Pi S not to boot [Armbian 24.11.1]
in Radxa Rock Pi S

@brentr Isn't it the case that apt upgrade will only download the new u-boot files, but you have to run armbian-config to actually install the new u-boot to your installation media.
