No it isn't currently possible. Mainline linux support for the s905x4 is a way off if it ever happens.

@K 6331 I'm assuming you are following the instructions from here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus
As for the dtb, you may need to try a few different ones, using the one that best works for your hardware. If your box is an s905x cpu, then you should try the meson-gxl-s905x-* dtbs.

@Dong You don't provide any information about what you have done to get into the state you are nor what you are trying to do.
I will point you to the following TV Box FAQ items as a first step:

and surprisingly it worked
That isn't surprising really. The old builds of armbian that are available are for kernel 5.9.0. While there isn't a lot of fixes being made to the amlogic code in the kernel, there are some that trickle in and the debian link you provided is just from a newer kernel with a more correct dtb. If someone were to pick up balbes150's work and publish new armbian images with a more recent kernel the armbian images would also likely work better.

I have been playing with this issue for other reasons today. You should be able to restore the default u-boot environment by the following uboot commands:
env default -a
saveenv
Since I doubt you have a serial connection to your box allowing you to debug/monitor u-boot, you can cause these commands to be run by using the attached aml_autoscript file.
If you put this file on your usb stick and use the 'adb reboot update' that should run the above commands which are contained in that special aml_autoscript file. After that you can restore the original armbian aml_autoscript file to your usb stick and do the 'adb reboot update' with that one and then you should have a working armbian environment.

Yes a firmware for that device. It is unlikely that a firmware for a different device will work, even if they share the same cpu.

First you need to read the following TV Box FAQ items:
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
Note in particular from the instructions posted above, that because you have previously run coreelec you will need to find an original android firmware and reinstall that to reset the boot environment to its default state. coreelec and armbian make incompatible changes to the boot environment and you can't use armbian after coreelec.
Otherwise, while I haven't heard of anyone running armbian on this box, given the steps you did to get coreelec running, the same should work for armbian. The hack of using "adb reboot update" should have the same effect as the toothpick method to set the multiboot uboot environment variables.

I don't think you understand. First your device isn't supported. Per the previous discussions on the site that I linked and you confirmed you read, no one has successfully installed armbian on your device. And finally the information contained in the previous posts indicates that it isn't possible to put armbian on your device.
This is open source, so feel free to work on this yourself if you desire, but you aren't going to get any additional help from armbian maintainers on this.
-
Armbian doesn't support upgrades between releases of ubuntu or debian. Having said that you can search the forum for others who have asked this same question. While it can be done manually there are things to watch out for. Make sure you have a backup in case things go wrong.

This device is not a supported by Armbian. I moved this post to unsupported -> Off Topic.
A search of the forum leads to the following two older discussions about this device:

https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12378-which-version-to-download

Are you sure that the last batch was an Orange PI 3, not the new Orange PI 3 LTS - similar names but slightly different boards with different Armbian builds.
-
This isn't a valid issue for the following reasons:. First this report is not for an official Armbian build, second this is an issue in user space software (Ubuntu in this case) not an Armbian issue.
-
You need to use the Amlogic USB Burning Tool to install the original firmware. Google for examples on where to download and how to reinstall an android firmware on an Amlogic based TV Box.
-
Closing this very old thread. Feel free to open new posts for the older S805/S812 amlogic cpu based TV Boxes

@mcb777 Please note that posting such resources (i.e. the ophub build "amlogic-s9xxx-armbian" above) in this forum can be insulting towards Armbian developers since the developers behind ophub do not participate in the Armbian development effort nor these forums. In fact they use the Armbian name for their fork without permission. The concern being that users of these other code bases will turn to these forums for support not knowing the code they are running is not Armbian and burden our already scarce resources. I would ask you not to post such links in the Armbian forums in the future.

Here is the link for archived builds for the C1: https://archive.armbian.com/odroidc1/archive/

The short answer is if a board doesn't have anyone who has volunteered to be the maintainer for that board it is not longer support, until someone steps up to volunteer to be a maintainer. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/

The screenshot you included looks normal. You have a functioning command line terminal available to use. I'm assuming (since you don't say what image you have installed) that you have installed a command line image (non- desktop).

Moved posts to proper forum (Allwinner TV Boxes from Rockchip TV Boxes)

@Byzor Please follow the instructions in the following FAQ entry: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus
The rest of the information in this thread should still be relevant.

@Mister 3o5 Please read the following TV box FAQ items:
https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus/
Also, the best advice I can give is to look at the following mega thread dealing with the s805 CPU and TV boxes, but note no one has really worked on these for a couple of years.

@aKingabut Please read the two Tv box forum FAQ posts to understand the status of tv boxes under Armbian (short version don't expect any support and balbes150 has moved on from his working with amlogic CPUs)

@javaxsousa I don't see any comments above that indicate anyone is successful booting armbian onto a h96max h616 based box. I see a lot of posts about how things don't work and lots of people trying different patch sets, but I don't see anyone having success.

Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_buster_current_5.9.0.img.xz
You have downloaded the server version (command line interface only). What you want is one of the downloads with *desktop* in the name, like: Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0_desktop.img.xz
Note: there is no buster desktop version, only bullseye and focal desktops.

@Subhash First of what device and what build are you using?
