  1. @Alcide You are not using Armbian. The location you are downloading from is a fork of armbian. They use the Armbian name without permission. We can't help you in these forums because we don't know what code you are using, you need to direct your questions to the location you downloaded your code from. Those developers do not participate in these forums, nor support armbian development.

    Or asked the other way round: Is there a known fix in the newer versions that addresses this problem?

    This question is irrelevant.  No one really knows the answer.

    Did you try the same with latest image?

    What Igor is really saying, is if you want anyone to spend their time helping with this, you need to reproduce on current code.  If this was a common problem, it would already be fixed as many others would report something like this.  So it is either something due to your older code, or something specific to your environment.  Those are difficult to diagnose, and when you are asking people to volunteer their time to help you, they are only going to do that, if it is a reasonable to do and you have done everything to narrow the scope of the problem to something reproduceable by someone else.

     

    My first thought is based on the lack of information provided, but is a common cause of mysterious errors, and that is power issues.  How is all of this hardware powered?  SBCs are notorious for having poor power supplies and under load have voltage drops that cause mysterious problems (especially with usb devices drawing some of that power).

  3. @andersonpersan Could you do some tests for me?  Since I can't reproduce the problem (the newest images work on my s905x boxes, including multiple TX3 mini's and X96 mini's), i'm not able to solve the problem.

    Since you have found that an older build is working for you, I would request that you try a couple of things to see we can figure out what isn't working in your case for the latest builds.

    Since you have already installed to emmc, the first test I would ask is to now try to boot a new build from an sd card with the old build in emmc. (The boot logic should boot from SD card first, before emmc)

    device info HW

     

    this is the app, here you can find the exact name of the board inside your android box.

    A note that cheap android tv boxes are known to report fake data to the os.  The best think to do is to open the box and directly inspect the board/chips.  But even then, some manufacturers will alter the markings on their chips to falsify the board makeup.  The goal for TV box manufacturers it so produce the lowest price box, so corners are cut everywhere.  That is why it is impossible to support these boxes well, as any two boxes can have different internal components.
