  1. @microdoc Are you using Armbian (builds and/or build environment), or are you just posting here in the armbian forums looking for general guidance?
  2. @SonicXiang Did the upgrade work (is the new kerkel installed)? Or is the box left unbootable?
  3. @SonicXiang It should work. I haven't tested a kernel upgrade yet, but if it doesn't work, that would be a bug that needs to be fixed.
  4. Doing some forum cleanup and moved this thread to the appropriate forum
  5. Start by reading the following two FAQ posts: 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

  7. Moved to new thread in appropriate forum
  8. My first thought is that you don't actually have emmc in your box. You don't provide any details, so I am just guessing. I have 'identical' TX3 Mini boxes that on one the emmc works fine and the other it is not detected. When I opened the box, it turned out the manufacturer installed cheaper nand instead of the claimed emmc. And mainline kernels don't support nand storage. It is very common that boxes may not contain the components claimed (or can change randomly over time in an effort to cut production costs). This is one of many reasons TV boxes aren't supported by Armbian. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first/
  9. @brusli Also given that the archived builds @s-petersen linked to are over 3 years old, I'm not sure they are something you would want to use anyway (even if you trust a random third party download site). Three year old builds equal three years of unpatched security vulnerabilities.
  10. @hadestlse It is assumed that you have the knowledge and skills to build linux kernels and apply patches if you are going to attempt to do that. If not then I wouldn't recommend trying to incorporate the patch @hexdump referenced above. Not knowing your level of developer knowledge, I would first point you towards the Armbian developer docs. https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/
  11. Please start by reading the two TV Box FAQ posts: 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
  12. Moved post to the correct forum. Please read: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first The build you are using is over 2 and a half years old. Please read: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus (Note that you may need to change the extlinux.conf file to read: "LINUX /uImage" , I am investigating an issue, but I haven't yet confirmed it on an s905x3 box like yours).
  13. @vcmsptx Also, there is no meson-g12a-gt1-mini-a dtb file in these builds. Where did you get that? And are you sure you put it in the correct location? Also are you sure that dtb file is compatible with a mainline kernel?
  14. @vcmsptx with the new builds (i.e. the 6.0.x kernels) try changing the extlinux.conf file to use: LINUX /uImage I noticed an issue that the u-boot currently packaged (u-boot-s905x2-s922) doesn't boot the Image binary but will boot the uImage kernal binary. At least this is the case on my s905x2 based box. If you can confirm this same behavior on your box, that would be helpful.
  15. @vcmsptx What build and instructions are you using?
  16. The first place to start is with the following two FAQ posts: 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

  18. Please read the following FAQ post: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first (Short answer is: don't expect wifi to work on TV Boxes)
  19. As an unsupported board, the 4C+ only exists on the Community Supported boards page: https://github.com/armbian/community
  20. @Cliff There is no official Armbian software for this box as this is not a supported box by Armbian. If I may ask, where did you get this 'official' armbian from? The only reason I ask, is if there is something that leads people to believe something is supported when it isn't, that is an area that we can improve docs/website, etc to avoid future confusion.
