    You're welcome.
     
    I am writing steps on how to build the kernel to make it work with Docker.
    In the future, people can use my written guide on how to create the uImage themselves.

    @obaldon1
     
    maybe this help
     
    1. root the box or/and install TWRP -> toothpick methode
    1.1 maybe get debug output from serial port at board ( !!! soldering  !!, but its help a lot , Serial Console TTY)
    2. activate Multiboot with aml_xx.zip for uboot bootloader at TWRP ,
    3.use old or new Image
    3.1 old image befor 5.xx Kernel take the right dtp from dtb folder to boot folder and rename to dtb.img ( Android 4.4 dtb files are more in common to Kernel 3.10.xxx dtb files ) 
    3.2 new image 5.xx Kernel edit uEnv.txt and point to right dtb file
    4 repeat step 3 with other dtb files if not boot  ( !!! dtb from 3.10.xx not working with 5.xx Kernel)
    5 if something not working like eth or wlan remeber its beta or work in progress maybe to study to edit dts files help

    @dreamstrider@SteeMan
    thats because manything thange in the dtb files over the year -> dtb for 3.10.99 kernel was direct usable from android 4.4 ; ->dtb for 5.8 kernel many things are disable by default because of compatibili settings or get new interpreted ( i have the Realtek 23bs chip and in the old dtb it was a chip enable high in the new kernel i need a chip enable low) 
     
    secound there are no nand install ( because of unknow uboot settings for new kernel to boot from nand; risk to brick the box is to high )  most of use use only sdcard or usb , i know that "xdarklight" has testet the nand driver in the 5.8 kernel but its still beta 
     
    @obaldon1 thats correct u have to use the right dtb file in the uenv.txt ( normally when u use wrong dtb u should only the black scrren or color screen and not android boot when multiboot works )

    To try a DTB in Armbian_20.09_Aml-s812.... you need to change the corresponding entry in uEnv.txt. If you are stuck I suggest you try a different distro like OpenELEC (https://github.com/codesnake/OpenELEC.tv/issues/52, https://github.com/codesnake/OpenELEC.tv/releases) just as a proof of concept that your device supports custom Linux

    obaldon1 got a reaction from daniyo in Armbian for Amlogic S805 and S802/S812   
    To the best of my understanding, I am not yet using any dtd because I am not yet attempting to boot Armbian. At the moment, I am trying to enable multiboot, and it is not working as I described above.
    When I simply insert an SD card with Armbian_20.09_Aml-s812_bullseye_current_5.9.0-rc7_desktop.img burned onto it and with 1 random dtd.img copied to the root, the boot process blasts right through to Android.
    This is why I am trying to enable multiboot by either pointing Upgrade app at aml_autoscript.zip or by selecting it from the Android recovery menu once it shows up, both times running into the verification error that I posted above.
     
    Can anyone explain in simple terms, which Armbian image and which aml_autoscript.zip are appropriate for MX2 with g18ref? Piecing together this info from cryptic clues scattered over multiple forums is very hard for a noob like me. It is my understanding that it is not possible to tell me which dtd is appropriate, because they have to be found by way of trial and error. Correct me if I am wrong. Someone should have tried g18ref previously and figured out which dtd works, but I am not holding hope that this is documented anywhere.
     
    PS: This forum is killing me with its 1 post a day limit. It is not achieving anything positive but delaying my responses and diminishing chances that anyone who knows answers still has patience to wait for me. Is this absolutely necessary?

    The SD card should be inserted.
     
    I meant the Update&Backup app. I'm running a headless server on my box so cannot make any screenshots but you can follow this instruction (don't download any extra images, use Armbian card with it) or this one
    Also there is a message from balbes150 that most problems are caused by faulty media.
