[Armbian for Amlogic S905X3]

Download & write the latest universal image (bionic must work, haven't tried the others). Edit the dtb in uEnv.txt. Copy u-boot.sd to u-boot.ext. Start your box to the android recovery menu (toothpick or whatever your box uses for that). Select Update from external media so it installs aml_autoscript.zip that updates your u-boot. Reboot.

 

Thanks Rapsacw, 

Didn't know about this, I thought that copying the u-boot.sd to u-boot.ext abd booting was enough.

Although now the problem is the same as 

 

 

With the error 

E:mmap(0, R, PRIVATE, 6, 0) failed: Invalid argument

E:Map of 'udisk/aml_autoscript.zip' failed

E:failed to map file Installation aborted

 

And I can't follow 5p0ng3b0b's fix unfortunately, perhaps their solution was before the image was Windows compatable? 

Any further help would be very appreciated

Try copying u-boot.sd to u-boot.ext instead of renaming. That worked for me (latest  'Single Armbian image for RK + AML + AW' + dtb entry in uEnv.txt).

 

This does not work for me, and I think some others as well, as mentioned at the start of this topic.

I've tried all the suggestions in this topic but still can't get the colors fixed on boot.

 

Using the image from the other topic 'Single Armbian image for RK + AML + AW',

writing to a micro sd card,

edit the uEnv.txt to use meson-sm1-sei610.dtb

 

and all boots fine except for the messed up colors.

 

When the u-boot.sd is renamed to u-boot.ext, then the box won't boot at all. This is suggested at the start of this topic, but it's then said it doesn't work.

Then there is a suggestion of downloading the latest fix, or applying an update consisting of three files. 

Not sure where these files are, or where the latest patch is, the only link mentioned at the start of this topic is now dead, but was able to download earlier.

File was called 'boot.S905X3.7z' and contains

boot.ini, s905_autoscript and u-boot.ext, but using these files also results in no boot. 

I noticed these files refer to the older uEnv.ini, and so are incompatible with the new uEnv.txt used in the 'Single Armbian Image' mentioned above.

 

If I do need to use a specific image instead for the s905x3, then where can I find it?

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get the colors fixed for the 'Single Armbian Image' in the other topic?

 

In case anyone is interested it's the Magicsee N5 Plus 4gb with internal SATA.

If you have the same box and need help let me know, I've set up wifi, hard drive install, ethernet, vnc etc..
