    overlays=sun50i-h616-i2c1-pi

    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.

  2. 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.

    Armbian_25.05.0_amlogic_s9051_bookworm_6.12.27_server_2025.05.05.img.gz

    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.

  4. What is your goal?  25.02 is a stable release.  There is no 25.05 stable release yet (that will happen towards the end of next month).  So what is out there now are daily development rolling builds of 20.05.  So if you want to track development then this would make sense (note the use 0f the word 'daily' there, things can change that often, and these changes aren't well tested yet), but if you want tested stability then you should wait until the next stable release comes out.

     

  5. @iTux Your posts are not appropriate for Armbian forums.  You are using non Armbian code.  You should post your information in the channels that they provide.  Ophub is a fork of Armbian.  They do not contribute to Armbian development, nor do they contribute to these forums.  They use the Armbian name without permission and cause significant confusion as a result.  (Like in your case where you think you are using Armbian and you are not).

  6. If you look at the boot log, the android firmware is first looking for s905_autoscript on the SD card fat partition.  So you should be able to create a boot script by that name to get the native emmc uboot to run and boot what you have on your SD card.

    (Your printenv shows the boot order is determined in start_autoscript, first mmc then USB then finally emmc).

    If this ancient uboot is capable of booting a modern Linux kernel you should be able to make this work with the proper boot commands in the s905_autoscript file.

    When do I push the OS into the eMMC

    Whenever you are comfortable with that.

    Is there a downside?

    You could brick your box.  Unlikely, but there are so many different tv boxes out there that there is always a chance your box is somehow different than common ones.  Since the boot environment starts from what is on emmc, if you screw up the emmc completely, your box is bricked.  (You should still be able to recover by using amlogic tools to reinstall an android rom, but...)

    Are there only so many times I can do this safely?

    No limit that I can think of.

    If I chose to try the Debian builds - don't I just boot from a SD card and try it out?  If I like that one better - then don't I just repeat the process and push that onto the eMMC

    You have that all correct.
