armbian-install will not work on amlogic tv boxes. Please follow the instructions here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus Also, why did you abort the first run setup steps? You may have left your box in an incomplete state that could cause issues in the future. On further thought, I think your box has the s905 cpu. And installation to emmc isn't possible on this cpu. The next generation amlogic cpus (s905x) are supported for internal emmc install.

Since as you say you are not using armbian but Bateceda, the Armbian forums are not the proper place for your question. You should ask your question in the Bateceda forums.

To your original question, have you tried different usb ports on the box? Also, have you tried installing armbian-firmware-full?

Since I don't have this hardware, I can't incorporate and test code like this for inclusion into base Armbian.

@Zoltán Palkó Since this is a community project, PRs that include things like this to improve Armbian are very welcomed.

What do you mean by this?

Since you are posting in the TV Box sub-forum, I'm assuming you are talking about a TV Box. But you have't provided any informaion about your setup. What TV Box do you have, what version of Armbian do you have (by version I mean the name of the image you downloaded, and where downloaded from).

Where are you looking? I only see one desktop build - xfce (although a Debian version and an Ubuntu version). You probably would be best suited using the dtb from this thread. Otherwise the instructions say to try them all and see which works best (note that s905x3 is meson-sm1).

Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

@luxix That link is for the s905w cpu which is a different cpu than the s905w2

Please don't keep creating new user accounts. As a new user you get one post per day, to avoid spam. After a while those new user restrictions are automatically removed.

Generally this means that you are holding the reset button too long. When powered with the reset button pressed it should after a few seconds 'reboot' at that time you can release it. If you continue to hold for an extended period of time it will go to the android recovery.

You need to go to the Inovato site for questions/support. Per their website: "IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have any questions or problems with this process, by all means use the Armbian Forums to search for information, but please DO NOT ask questions if you can't find your answer. They don't support the Quadra firmware: We do. So please use the Support category on this forum."

More specifically, you downloaded from a site that is not Armbian. They are a fork of armbian, but continue to use the Armbian name without permission. They do not participate in these forums. There is no way we can help you since you aren't using Armbian, you will need to go to the location you downloaded your build from and get help there.

Please tell us what you have done. You have provided no information for us to help you debug your issue. What build are you using, what steps have you done to get to the point you mentioned?

Moved post to a new thread

I would recommend that you first start with a pre-built image (https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc) Then if you want use the armbian build system (https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/) Then you might be able to track down why the Debos isn't working as you think it should.

Since you aren't using Armbian, you really should direct your question to the retrorangepi forums

Please provide a dts so that it could be incorporated. Having the built binary isn't useful, need the source file.

@chinhhut The site you posted a link to, is a fork of Armbian, but continues to use the Armbian name without permission. This causes users to think they are using official Armbian when they are not, causing people to come here for support.

No, the chip manufacturer never released source code for the chip, so it can't be supported by mainline linux

The video you linked to is 5 years old and doesn't reflect the current state of the builds.

This file doesn't exist in the builds on this site. What build are you using?

You didn't answer my first question on what downloads you are talking about.

Toothpick is the preferred/only method I would use.
