That is the default for armbian. What sbc are you working with? And just to confirm that you pulled the build framework from the official armbian sources? (Not one of the forks that may have different defaults)

This thread is over a year old. Closing the thread.

@theslydog That image is not a release image and therefore isn't archived anywhere. This is known by the word "trunk" in the name. You can always get the latest development builds like that one from here: https://github.com/armbian/community or you can pull the build framework and build your own build from latest source. Release builds are located here: https://redirect.armbian.com/aml-s9xx-box/archive/

@n3o As a moderator of these forums, I have been watching your postings. You are abusing these forums and the people that contribute to them. (Everyone, especially @RaptorSDS and @jock have been very willing to invest a lot of time to help you) However, repeatedly you have been given specific information that you ignore, been given advise that you ignore and then you come back with more and more questions. There are very limited people resources working on Armbian (and even less with TV boxes). You alone are consuming way more developer time than any one individual has the right to receive. This is open source, and therefore users are needed to contribute as much as they consume in resources from the community in order for this to work. This is not a school where you can come to be taught how everything works, demanding the attention of everyone else to teach you. Your latest questions are now venturing into very deep and difficult areas of code (none of which is expected to work on these TV boxes as has been mentioned to you). If you want to continue down the path you are going, you first need to become an expert at these topics on known working platforms, then you can try to apply that expertise on TV boxes. You may not realize it, but the questions you are asking, are essentially asking for weeks if not months of developer help to get working, if it is at all possible.

There are a lot of tv boxes called hk1. What cpu does your box contain? And what build of armbian are you using?

@soned This is an armbian forum, why in your first post do you post a link to a non armbian build? What are you trying to accomplish in this thread?

@thielj its community supported, make the change to the build framework, and submit a PR

That topic is over 4 years old, is written for amlogic based boxes. Nothing there is relevant for a Rockchip based box.

What exact image are you using?

There are multiple tutorials on the internet on how to flash an android rom on am am logic box. Note you will need a male to male USB cable.

I would recommend you reinstall an original Android firmware onto emmc to restore the box back to original configuration and then continue from there.

How are you installing Home Assistant? You may need to install the docker version on Armbian (at least that is how I run it). It has been a couple of years since I installed it, so I don't remember why I chose that method.

wifi isn't expected to work, but with the correct dtb ethernet should. What dtb files are you trying? The dtb file is the file that describes the hardware to the linux kernel, so it is important to have a dtb file that correctly maps to your hardware (or as close as possible).

What internet connection are you trying? wifi or ethernet?

This is one problem. You need the boot loader from android on your emmc in order to boot armbian following the instructions you mentioned. This is not a build suitable for this box. Follow the links in the instructions you mentioned for the correct armbian build.

As that FAQ post states, don't expect to have working wifi on these tv boxes. (I don't have working wifi on any amlogic tv box I own). As far as the usb wifi, make sure you install the armbian-firmware-full package (as the default install only contains a limited number of firmwares to keep the install smaller).

Pull the build environment, make the changes, test and then submit a PR to get them incorporated

Moved to non-board specific forum, as this isn't a board specific question.

I personally have multiple of that box, so I have no need for one. And currently no one else is contributing to the amlogic TV box code base in Armbian. So I'm not sure there is a need for them. But if someone wants one, they are welcome to respond to your post. Generally, however, TV boxes are cheap and easy to purchase, it is developers and their time that is expensive and in very short supply.

@Maxxim Thanks for the report. The boot partition is created as vfat. I have noticed that s905x2 and s905x3 boxes are not booting with the 23.05 builds, but I thought the issue was with the u-boot files. Your report potentially points into a different direction. I don't know when I will have time to look into this. But this is community supported software so any contributions are appreciated.

Since I don't have an s905l2 box, I'm not really in a position to integrate/test changes for such a box. If someone want to submit a PR that can test, I'd be happy to get it integrated. @Lavacat Note that your last post wasn't approved, because the site you mention is a fork of armbian that uses the Armbian name without permission and they do not contribute to the forums nor to armbian development.

@callegar The 23.05 packages have not been released to the apt update repositories yet. There are issues being worked on. No ETA. The latest packages available are 23.02 based.

Since you are installing a Ubuntu kernel not an Armbian kernel, (and these are Armbian forums), you should ask your question in a Ubuntu forum.
