[Armbian for Amlogic S805]

Hi There,

Some minor update i've got wifi running by adding to "hdmi.sh" these lines:

 

#START RTL8189ETV
modprobe 8189es

 

#START WIFI SUPPLICANT
sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
sudo dhclient wlan0

 

The content of wpa supplicant si:

network={
  ssid="YOUR_WIFI_SSID"
  psk="YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD"
}
 

In fact for some reason the UI network manager does not connect?! I've installed also "Wicd network manager" but also this works only on the first connection then nothing. But with the "manual" wpa_supplicant on the script wifi it's ok!

 

So now the only thing i'm missing is installing on NAND.

 

I've checked the forums someone says about a "installtonand" script but i can't find it.

 

Can someone help me out? Thanks a lot

Rob

Hello There,

I have an s805 MXQ with this board: AM_MXQ_A_20150825

I've extract the DTB from the original android image if can be usefull i have attached to this post, this dtb seems to be different (md5) with all others in the iso i'm using (Armbian_5.67_Aml-s805_Ubuntu_bionic_default_3.10.108_desktop_20181207.img).

BTW internal wifi does not work, there's some work around?

Also i would like to install in NAND but i'm not finding any clear info to do this,

About video/opengl accelaration it's possibile and/or will be avaible in kernel 5?

Thanks kind regards

Rob

Hi there,

I'm new to these boards and armbian.

I've checked the forums but i have some questions that can be also helpfull for other peoples.

 

1) hardware specs

My board (You can see there https://ibb.co/ZSbw62q) is a AM_MXQ_A 20150825 i can see on the board these chips:

- MAIN CPU => AMLOGIC S8005

- GPU => ???? 

- WIFI => REALTEK IC RTL8189ETV 802.11b/g/n 1T1R

- (S)DRAM => 2X HYNIX DDR3 H5TQ4G63AFR-PBC 4Gb x16 x1 1600 29nm FBGA96 √ (792MHz) √ (636MHz)

- STORAGE (NAND) => SANDISK MLC SDTNRGAMA-008GK 8GB 1 40bit /1024B 1ynm TSOP48 Note 1 

 

Why ram is 1gb if there are 2x4gb on board?? Are also used for system as a storage?

Can't find GPU on this board is missing?

 

2) Armbian what's the best version/release for this board? The only one i've got working is Armbian_5.32_S805_Ubuntu_xenial_3.10.33_mate_20170821 (suggested by karkow in this thread at page 6). Maybe there's a latest version that run better/faster?

 

3) It's possible to install in NAND? I've read trought sites but cannot find a final word on this

 

Thanks a lot for any response and for the wonderfull works!
