I kinda recall having wiped the emmc by mistake, and had to boot from SD on which I installed you mainline u-boot.
I then recovered the emmc u-boot using the one on the SD, risky but hey it worked....

Keep in mind I have one of the first TX3 boxes, maybe HW changed between my version and newer ones.

1) I am using meson-sm1-sei610.dtb
2) I am using the default from Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0.img
3) my uboot.emmc is 765,142 bytes long

@lcapriotti - it would be very helpful if you could find out how you got it to work on your box - this might getting this resolved easier for @SteeMan maybe
What I *think* I have done is:
use sm1-u-boot.bin from https://github.com/hexdump0815/u-boot-misc/releases/tag/200926-01
dd the file to an SD card and boot from it
dd the file to the emmc once booted from the SD card
Not 100% sure though

Note that the post above by @lcapriotti (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16753-chainloaded-uboot-images-for-amlogic/?tab=comments#comment-119271) is I think reporting the exact same issue on the same hardware (TX3 X3). That post has screen shots of the boot - first screenshot of boot failing from emmc, and the second screenshot of a sucessfull boot from usb. These mirror my testing results.
Any pointers on where to go from here?
Note that since then I was able to have a rock solid boot from emmc, but I lost track on how I was able to achieve it...
If there is anything I can provide pls let me know

On my s905x3 (Tanix TX3) I have used sm1-u-boot.bin replacing u-boot.ext on the SD card, and have consistent success in booting from SD card - something that it not the case with the original u-boot from Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0.img. I can access the emmc once booted from the SD card.
However, the box does not boot after installing into emmc, as the emmc is not recognised.

@lcapriotti The process for installing a TV box image into emmc is to run the appropriate script in the /root directory.
tks! There are two possible candidates: install-aml-s905-emmc.sh and install-aml.sh, which one shall be used on our box?

I figured out a combination of bad SD cards and possibly the CD card reader that is not 100% reliable is creating the above situation, hence I started investigating the install to emmc following the instructions available here BUT the install script seems to be missing from Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0.img.xz, am I mistaken?

Mine was stuck with the message “boot”
it is possible to put the clock back working??
this would need these drivers, I wonder if they are available in armbian, there is also another thread in the forum but nobody answered.

I messed up my emmc and after having restored it using Burn_Card_Maker_V2.0.3 with both factory images and custom images (slimbox) I have lost ability to boot from SD and USB
Is it because the u-boot is broken or not the one I had before?
Does an armbian image that I could use with Burn_Card_Maker exist ?
-
can anyone confirm a "shutdown -h now" results in a reboot instead?
-
out of curiosity: is there any chance to interact with the front panel LCD and use it to display something more useful than "boot"?

Tanix TX3 comes in at least two versions, the QZ mentioned just above, and a BZ version. The name on the PCB is the only way to figure out.
Maybe because I pre-ordered the box, I unfortunately got an even earlier version, my PCB says CS_905X3_TX95_B4_V1.1. This variant has 100M eth.
On this box I followed Hannah's first post and got all working but the eth - no surprise
The excerpt from boot log is the following:

TX3 first version (BZ, 100Mb eth), no luck with eth with these DTBs.
I will keep on trying..

@Energokom is your box a 905x4 as per the picture? if so, pls share the info and possibly the binaries that work for you, TIA.
