If it is NAND then you are out of luck as mainline Linux has no support for NAND. If it is eMMC then your dtb would likely need to be modified to support your hardware if it isn't showing up. My guess is that you have NAND.
-
You will have to uninstall the upstream wireguard as that will remove the dependancy on the non-armbian kernel.

For inexplicable reasons
That is the expected behavior. You always need to "install" u-boot after a new version from apt. The apt package just provides the binaries that you can install.
-
There are no instructions to do this because it isn't supported and it is really, really, really hard because there are many, many, many dependencies across many different repositories all changing over time. While you may be able to get something to work in some cases, you have to deal with tracking down build errors and figure out what changed and what to roll that source back to.
-
From the screenshot you included I can determine the following:
1) This is a repurposed TV Box type device since it is running the rk3318-box build. (Note Armbian does not support TV Boxes, these are all community supported)
2) You are running a build from May of 2022 (over three years old)
3) As it says: No end-user support: built from trunk (which means this isn't any sort of official armbian build)
For support you really need to go to the company that you bought this from
-
You would also need to rollback all the patches that armbian applies to the point in time that Armbian built with that particular kernel version. And likely all the outside repositories that Armbian pulls in that have source code for the various drivers and other code that is also built into the kernel.

rk322x
The rk322x is a 32bit CPU, so it can't run 64bit code

f we don't get it resloved I see no debug-possiblities anymore if there is no ssh!
Generally debugging is done through the UART connector: https://debug.armbian.de/

So, being completely new to this group (not new to AndroidTV boxes), would Armbian running on a cheap TV box support a USB on-the-go audio device? Or any reason it would or wouldn't?
Then, next, I haven't read every piece of info on how to convert the boxes, but I read some general info on other sites. Is the mod terribly difficult? Do they all require physical mods?
THANK YOU!I would first suggest that you read this post:
That may give you lots of reasons why you shouldn't depending on what your goals are.
Installing armbian on a TV Box depends on the TV Box. Each CPU has differing levels of support (from none to fairly well supported in mainline linux). And then given there are hundreds of different TV Boxes, each will have different sets of working/non-working features depending on a variety of factors.
As far as supporting a USB audio device, it shouldn't be any different than support for the device on any other linux platform/distribution. On Armbian you may need to install the linux-firmware-full package to get the driver support as by default Armbian ships with a slimed down set of firmware support.
-
This would be very very hard. Would likely take years and would likely never achieve full functionality. If you have access to the source code for the firmware that comes on the device you would have a chance.

Armbian doesn't support TV Boxes. Read the following to understand the status of Armbian and TV Boxes:

What dtb file did you use?
Since this issue is well over a year old, I'm not sure where you stand with this. Are you still looking to get a fix? If so, answering all of the questions asked would be helpful.
When you say "broke again" what do you mean by broke? Apparently the box is running and you can update it as you continue to update it per the message above saying you have upgraded to 6.12.32.
Have you tried a fresh image installed on a new SD card to see if that works (vs. your upgraded system)?

@Efe ÇetinWhy DTB compiled for kernel 6.1 wont work in 6.10 kernel ? Should't that info about regulators, dt nodes , properties be the same?
Second question: If I take DTS source for 6.1 and compile using dt compiler of 6.10, should it work ?
Technically a DTS is specific to a kernel version. As changes happen to the kernel apis, those need to be reflected in the DTS's. So they DTB and kernel image are always built and shipped together.
Now in practice changes that impact the DTS aren't common, so you can usually use DTS's accross kernel versions.
However in this case, I'm assuming that when you refer to 6.1 that is a vendor kernel, and 6.10 or greater would be mainline kernel. Now these are two very different code bases. A vendor kernel is whatever the board/cpu vendor hacked together to get a kernel running on their hardware. Often these are more android kernel based. When features finally get rolled into mainline, their implementation is often completely different. Thus one can't share a DTS between a vendor kernel and a mainline kernel. But often you can use the vendor DTS to gather information about what needs to be implemented in the mainline DTS.

What build of armbian are you using? Please provide the exact steps you are having problems with, your description of the problem is not clear.

Moved to Community supported forum as this isn't a standard support board.

Yes exactly

@KrzyPacu The Amlogic TV Box builds use extlinux.conf. So you should add your overlay info in that file (/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf).
I believe the syntax for extlinux is:
OVERLAYS /dtb/amlogic/overlay/...
(I'd recommend placing it just below the FDT line)
(Note: I've never tried to load an overlay through extlinux, but have been intending to try it some day. Let us know how it goes)

@Nguyễn Tất Hùng If you want to use Armbian, you should start here: https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box/
And specifically look at the link to the Status of TV Boxes on Armbian information.

Is the overlay_prefix line the same in both too?

If you remove the "rk3588-" from each it should work as that is included in the overlay_prefix

Please provide a .dtb file with working SPDIF.
TV boxes are Community supported. That means they are not supported by Armbian. It is up to community members like you to figure these things out and submit them back to the community through your contributions.

Further, I can't find any reference to an Amlogic S905M cpu. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amlogic)
In a google search, I see reports of some people saying the actual cpu is an S905L while others report having an S905X2. You might want to open up the stick to see what the actual CPU is.

That is not an Armbian build, but a third party fork of Armbian. These forums are for Armbian. You need to direct your question to the provider of the software you are testing, as we can't answer questions for third party software.

@Error1429 If you were to submit a well thought out PR along with the necessary doc and website updates, I'm sure this would be accepted and incorporated. But I think the feedback thus far as that this isn't something of high enough priority to ever being incorporated with Armbian's very limited resources.
