  1. Booting armbian from SD on this box? Or something else. The way the armbian build works for these amlogic TV boxes is specifically designed to boot from the android uboot on emmc.
  2. The boot process uses the native android uboot on emmc. I have no idea what uboot OSMC uses and if it is compatible with the mechanism that armbian uses to chain from the native uboot to the u-boot.ext. To understand what is happening during the boot you will need to hookup a usb-uart connector to the board and capture the uboot output.
  3. Never heard of this command. What does it do? What do you mean by add it to the boot choice? Have you read and followed the instructions on this site to install to emmc?
  4. What do you mean by that. Please be specific as I don't know what you are referring to.
  5. If you have the android image and the proper amlogic tools, yes.
  6. Never tried an emmc install with CE installed. I have no idea if that will work or not.
  7. Try booting from an SD card, and then try to boot from emmc. I have one box that won't reboot without first doing a boot from SD. But after a boot from an SD card, then it will boot from EMMC correctly.
  8. When you say "doesn't work as expected", what exactly isn't working?
  9. If you are using kernel 6.13 you are using the 'edge' kernel (i.e. development kernel). You likely want to use a 'current' build which will be a 6.12 kernel.
  10. I don't believe this dtb has ever existed in any armbian build. All references I see to it (via web search) are from non-armbian builds. The dtb isn't in the mainline kernel and thus not in the armbian builds. You could try other meson-sm1-* dtbs that do exist and see if any work for your box, or you could grab a dtb from elsewhere and try it with your armbian build (note you will need a dtb compatible with mainline linux, not one for an android linux).
  11. @brentr Isn't it the case that apt upgrade will only download the new u-boot files, but you have to run armbian-config to actually install the new u-boot to your installation media.
  12. In addition to the overlay_prefix what is the value of the overlays parameter in your armbianenv.txt? Perhaps post your entire armbianenv.txt file
  13. I don't know. I do not have that issue with my tx3-mini boxes. You would likely need use a usb uart connector to capture the boot log and report it back here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpVMO7gbnYM 1.2 GHz is the rated clock speed of these CPUs. Some android boxes will overclock or just lie about the speed. I haven't experienced this problem. You will need to provide more details.
  14. I should ask, what image are you working with?
  15. It is in the fat32 partition on the sd card. The issue seems to be that that partition is created in such a way that windows can't see it, even though it is a windows formatted partition.
  16. moved to the correct forum
  17. This is not an Armbian build. Please do not post information here that isn't about Armbian. Ophub is a fork of Armbian. They use the Armbian name without permission. They do not contribute to Armbian development nor do they participate in these forums. Content related to their work shoud be discussed in their forums not here.
  18. Do you have a non-windows machine to use? There may be an incompatibility with the partition type and windows.
  19. If your emmc isn't working you won't be able to run the aml-s9xx-tvbox Armbian builds. Those builds use the original boxes uboot on emmc to boot from. So you need an intact working emmc with the original android uboot working.
  20. FYI. Using armbian-config will limit you to compatible kernels for your current distribution.
  21. You didn't answer the question from Werner above. What are you trying to do? meson (i.e. Amlogic cpus) and sunxi (i.e. Alwinner cpus) are completely different kernels designed for different CPU families from different CPU manufacturers. You can only use the kernel built for your CPU.
  22. Replacing /boot is not the same. You also have to make sure that the contents of the kernel modules are present for the kernel you are loading (i.e. /lib/modules)
  23. This board is not supported by Armbian. It is a Community Maintained board. Which means that the Armbian infrastructure is used to build automated untested builds and make them available for use. Thus that message.
