[ARMBIAN for Amlogic S905 and S905X (ver 5.44 =<)]

Hi all.

I have a x96mini with the s905w cpu.

Can someone please tell me the correct dbt to use ? i have tried several... even the original from my older x96 box.

 

I can make the box boot from SDcard, made with win32Diskimager. -> Armbian_19.11.3_Aml-g12_disco_legacy_5.3.0_desktop_20191126

black screen, and then I need to restore the original android again to even start the box.

I tired of doing this over and over.....

 

so if any have the same box, do tell me which to use to get the linux to work.

 

I actually just need to test out pihole etc. nothing wild.

 

i just choose restore in android and choose the zip file..

but i have read this from eht net: You boot the box with Android, then run aml_update and aml_autoscript form the SD-card. After that you can write your Linux image to the sdcard and it should boot.

 

are there two operations i have to complete before i can boot ?
