@balbes150 Perhaps this is slightly off topic, but as a Linux engineer I work primarily on CentOS based systems. CentOS does provide an armhfp based image with various pre-canned uboot images and dtb files that can been used to install uboot with their uboot install utility. None of them seem to be for amlogic s805, meson808b, mxq or anything I can identify as similar hardware. Are there other boards or labels I can look for? I'm a complete uboot novice, but I think if I were nudged in the right direction, I might be able to at least experiment with CentOS or Fedora in addition to Armbian. Thanks! Todd

@balbes150 thank you for your continued support of Linux on the MXQ devices. I have an S805 TV box (3 really) and I have version 5.67 of your Armbian build installed. Is there a means of installing to the NAND? I tried using (and modifying) the install script from 5.44 but that didn't work. What is the process? All documentation I found searching the web made reference to the /root/install.sh script. Second, should your Armbian-19.11.5 s812 build work on an S805 box? I thought I had read that. Can it be installed to the NAND? I was thinking of using the box as a "private cloud" appliance for backups to my parents house. I'd like the OS on the NAND and use a large SD Card purely for data. Thanks for your assistance! Todd
