  1. No that wouldn't impact anything as the two environments are separate. Does it go through the initial configuration if you are using the cli/server version? Can you reproduce the issue by starting with a new image on the sd card and trying again? Also on the failure to run the install-aml.sh, does the script have execute permission set?
  2. @HITCHER Your post was not allowed as it linked to external sites with non-armbian content. The answer to your question is no, it is not possible to combine the two.
  3. You are typing the command wrong. There is a space after sudo, but if you are already logged in a root, you don't need the sudo at all. And in the case you did the command without sudo you didn't include the ./ Also note that you can't install on emmc if the box has an s905 cpu (you need an s905x or newer for emmc support). There was a recent thread that talked about this in the forums.
  4. The s905w2 is a new cpu from amlogic. As far as I know no one has tried to get mainline linux running on tv boxes containing that cpu Generally when a manufacturer comes out with a new cpu it takes the main line linux community a couple of years to get a stable system working on it (if there is enough community support). So I would suggest you use your box as an android box and come back in a year or so to see if there has been any movement to support this cpu. Or if you have the skills work on bringing support for the cpu into mainline linux.
  5. @Serkan Polat You don't mention what kind of board/box you are using. However I am assuming you are using some sort of android TV box (since your post mentions coreelec and a random tv box dtb file). You should note that TV Boxes are not supported by armbian. I should move your post to the TV Box community forum, but I will leave it here since you are offering to pay someone for help and this forum is where you are more likely to find someone with the skills that might be able to help. (The TV box forums generally only have end users reading the posts).
  6. There is no mainline linux support for the s905x4 so you are out of luck. And from the threads I have read, no one seems interested in ever making that happen, especially amlogic.
  7. You can't mix and match different distributions. Each expects the boot environment to be setup in a specific way by multiboot (multiboot is what is setup when you press the reset button at power on). That is why some old builds will use things like uenv.txt vs extlinuc.conf i the new builds. As your video here showed (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/25519-armbian-mxq-pro-4k-s905no-work/?do=findComment&comment=156933) you had it booting to the point of finding the corrupted extlinux.conf file. So I go back to you needed to deal with that issue first. I can't and wont spend my time helping diagnose issues with old builds from unknown origins. My overall recommendation for you would be to restore your box to the original android firmware so it is in a known starting state. Then follow the steps in the instructions using only a linux machine to edit the extlinux.conf file (don't allow the sd card to touch a windows machine).
  8. Moved to the appropriate forum, as this is reporting issues with userspace applications
  9. FYI 3.14 was released in 2014, last received security fixes in 2016. So by now it has hundreds of known security vulnerabilities that are not patched. Why would you even think of using something like that?
  10. TV Boxes are not supported by Armbian. This forum is provided for the community to share information. It is not a support forum. I am only one person, and I volunteer my time to help. But I can't teach people linux or basic skills that they should already have, or at least be able to figure out themselves with the help of google. I have pointed you in the direction you need to look, but if you are unwilling to do any of the work, then then linux on a tv box isn't for you. As the FAQ link I just posted says, these boxes are really only useful to run servers. If you are running a linux server, I expect you have basic linux skills in which to do that, and anyone who has been around linux/unix for any length of time, knows about the evils that windows editors do to linux text files and would know how to fix them.
  11. Honestly if you can't google how to do that yourself, I'm not sure you have the skills necessary to be using linux on a tv box.
  12. By flash drive I'm assuming you mean a usb flash drive. Yes that should work, but generally an sd card is recommended and more commonly used.
  13. Pictures would be helpful as the T95 name is used for a lot of different cpus. But I'm guessing you have an older box (not one of the newer blue boxes) as the board info you gave mentions s905 which would be an amlogic cpu. Assuming you do have an s905 amlogic cpu, you should be able to follow the instructions in the TV Box FAQ: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus
  14. I'm assuming since you mention multitool that your box is rockchip based. Moving to the rockchip TV box forum.
  15. You should be able to do that. Start with a clean version (do a new download of the image), then google for how to edit files on windows in ways that doesn't add window newline characters.
  16. Your extlinux.conf file is corrupted. It has windows newline characters added to the end of each line. The boot output shows: Ignoring unknown command: FDT Ignoring unknown command: append Is showing that the contents of the extlinux.conf file can't be read properly. When I downloaded the file you attached to your post, I can see the windows characters in your file.
  17. Where are you looking for the dtb files? They are there, /boot/dtb/amlogic/meson-g12a-u200.dtb Note for the s905x2 you would be looking at the meson-g12a-* dtb files as candidates.
  18. First question, what build are you using, and what "tutorial" are you using?
  19. Moved post to Other since this is not a sunxi board (riscv)
  20. If you are running this as an ftp server, you should just install a server/cli build.
  21. Yes. Using tv boxes for running server services is an ideal use case.
  22. They are inexpensive and a necessary tool to have around if you work with sbc's. I would recommend you own one.
  23. TV Boxes are not supported by armbian. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first Note that the h618 is a new allwinner cpu. It often takes years for the open source community to bring mainline linux support to new cpus. The h616 which is now about two years old is still not well supported.
  24. Also, since you are getting to the point in the boot process where the u-boot.ext is running, you should be able to use the keyboard and run u-boot command line commands
