[Single Armbian image for RK + AML + AW (aarch64 ARMv8)]

Initially after watching some recent youtube videos about Armbian, you need to check you've commented out all the lines FDT= * APPEND above # rk-3399 at the top of /uEnv.txt

You will need to try all (amlogic) dtbs (I assume, don't have Mecool K1 Pro). Also check this page.

Personally, I boot into (sdcard) Armbian by issuing the command reboot update in a shell from android (app).

@dbsharpe i have deleted the lines that are not relevant in the u Env,txt file and below is what i am left with.

 

LINUX=/zImage
INITRD=/uInitrd

# aml s9xxx
FDT=/dtb/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905d-p230.dtb
APPEND=root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0
 

I will give all the (amlogic) dtb's a try again, and also see if the reboot update in shell works for me.

 

Thanks, i will let you know how it goes.

Hi, I am new to this forum and have been trying to follow the instruction to install Armbian on my Mecool K1 Pro. I have tried different dtb's but still no luck in booting into Armbian below is the link to the message that I keep getting.

No sure if i am going about it the right way, may be someone in the forum can help me.

 

The current firmware on the box is the stock firmware provided by Videostrong the manufactures of the box.

I noticed in the image provided by Videostrong there is a DTB.img file, could this file be used to boot Armbian correctly?

 

If Armbian works on the the box, I would like to use it to run Hassio server to control my smart devices at home.

 

Many Thanks for your help in advance.
