@remolaan If your box has the s805x cpu (not s805 as your title indicates), you might have success following these instructions: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus Using the meson-gxl-s805x-p241.dtb or meson-gxl-s805x-libretech-ac.dtb and the u-boot-s905x-s912 uboot file I'm not aware on anyone having ever tried this, but it might work.

@Ulltrium That version is multiple years old. I don't think there is anyone around the forums that can provide help on that old of a version.

@Cesar Inacio Martins Have you tried to use armbian-config to configure your networking? From the armbianmonitor output it appears you have valid eth0 and wlan0 interfaces.

@w114514 What box do you have? What image are you using?

What do you mean by this? There is no output at all, or no output after boot? What image are you using? Have you tried different hdmi monitors and different hdmi cables?

@Juan Arias You have not provided any useful information about your problem. Lets start with, what box do you have? What image are you using? What instructions are you following? What steps have you done in preparing your sd card for booting the box? What dtb/uboot are you using? What errors/messages are you getting?

In looking at past threads on this box, I would suggest trying other dtb files (if your box is s905x, try all the meson-gxl-s905x-* )

Why?

@Igor Per this post, it looks like there is a corrupted stable build.

Welcome to Armbian. I would suggest you read: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first and https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus As for your question, I would recommend using a stable build not a development build. Also if that doesn't work, try a server (CLI) build. I've been seeing reports in the forums about hdmi not working across different builds when running desktop builds.

@yopp I assume you are following these instructions: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus And you specifically are following this note: Note: If you have previously run other distributions on the box such as coreelec the below installation will not work. You will need to restore the original android firmware before attempting the install. coreelec changes the boot environment in ways that are incompatible with these Armbian builds. If you have previously booted coreelec, armbian will not boot.

@Igor This has come up multiple times in the forums. Could/should https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4954 be backported to 23.02? I'm not sure of the criteria for putting out patch releases for previous releases.

Already fixed: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4954

What dtb and u-boot are you using? No TV boxes are supported. Some work better than others, some not at all. Are you following the instructions here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus

What build are you using? What is the exact box you have? What steps have you taken to prepare your sd card?

@mguc I believe this was fixed already in this PR: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4954 Could you download a nightly build and test/see if this is fixed for your case?

@Bernie.Wieser Please provide more information on what you have and what you are trying to do along with errors reported. First what build are you running and on what hardware? Second what are you trying to do that you have installed headers? Third, what errors are you getting when you do the thing you are trying to do.

This isn't an answer to your question, but a link to let you know what to expect from Armbian with regards to TV Boxes: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first

@Lelle I'm not aware of anyone in the Armbian community working on TV boxes with the rk3566. Note that Armbian doesn't support TV boxes in any official way. TV box support is left to the community to pick up. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first/#comment-118794

@Nandhu Thanks for the info. I need to take my box apart to compare. But I am heading out for a week of vacation, so I might not get to that until I get back in early April.

I just downloaded the same image and it is fine. How are you burning the image to your sd card? Since the image is compressed not all burning tools can handle compressed images.

I don't have this box, I can only point you to the latest builds: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first

Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed. At a minimum what build have you installed?
