First read the FAQ post about Armbian and TV Boxes: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first Second, DTB files are kernel version specific since they are the mapping from the hardware to the kernel code. So you can't take a dtb from an old kernel and expect it to work on a new one (especially when the old kernel is a heavily patched/android based kernel and the new one is mainline - as they will have very different implementations of basic support for these boards).

I should have added a comment to this thread that I created a fix for this issue and it was pushed to mainline a few days ago.

Worked for me: [ o.k. ] U-Boot file name [ linux-u-boot-edge-nanopiduo_23.02.0-trunk_armhf.deb ] [ o.k. ] Kernel file name [ linux-image-edge-sunxi_23.02.0-trunk_armhf.deb ] [ o.k. ] Runtime [ 31:31 min ] [ o.k. ] Repeat Build Options [ ./compile.sh BOARD=nanopiduo BRANCH=edge RELEASE=jammy BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img ]

This worked for me using current master branch: sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=nanopiduo BRANCH=current RELEASE=jammy BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img

If you were to run this on a normal environment (it is designed to run on a PC (x86) running Ubuntu Jammy) you would see that at the end of the UI it prints out the command line equivalent of what you just entered through the UI, So the UI is only invoked if a particular parameter isn't passed on the command line. Experiment around and see how this works.

Are you sure? All references I can find for this box in a Google search say it would have an Allwinner h313 CPU.

If you are still using this image, there is a script in /root that is used to copy the image to emmc. (It is part of the instructions for that build posted here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus ) It brute forces some of the stuff you and hexdump have been discussing. But as far as what and how to copy over, this can be a guide.

Please provide the minimum basic information about what you are doing. We can't guess your environment. What build are you trying to install, what instructions are you following, what dtb file are you using?

balenaEtcher is the recommended tool for making SD cards and it also has the capability to clone one. It is available for all platforms.

I'm closing this topic, as it was determined the original poster wasn't using Armbian and the followup posts are therefore not relevant.

@microdoc Are you using Armbian (builds and/or build environment), or are you just posting here in the armbian forums looking for general guidance?

moved this discussion to a new thread

@SonicXiang Did the upgrade work (is the new kerkel installed)? Or is the box left unbootable?

@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.

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/

@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.
