  1. Listen. With all due respect, you totally misunderstand me. I never expected that you would work on this, as you are already outside of my budget and are no doubt super busy. That is why I posted in the P2P room. To see if I could find someone (a peer) with more experience than me with U-Boot, who was willing to do it for $500. So when I said I would donate, it was not to try to persuade you to help. I said it simply because I believe in your project and I want to support it. So if I ever have a success, it is only fair that I pass some of my profits to Armbian. Also, I never asked to get a fully fledged working system (as Balbes asserted). I only asked for an updated version of my DTB file. It's right there in the title of the thread. The drivers and other stuff I can figure out by myself. Thanks for the pointer to the Debian experts. I didn't know that was an option. Will check it out. Regards, Roy
  2. If I ever have any success with my project, I will make sure to give a generous donation to Armbian. You have my word.
  3. Hello Igor, nice to meet you. Yes, I have already considered making a donation. However, my budget is not very big, and I understand that donations (that include support from you) start at $1.000. We'll see, maybe... Anyway, thank you so much for Armbian and for making it opensource. It is an incredibly interesting project, that I will be following very closely in the future. Noted. I will have you know, however, that this particular TV-Box was very carefully chosen. Months of research. It costs $40+ per unit and has an excellent build quality. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both based on Broadcom ICs, so I don't think finding a Linux driver is impossible. I also tried booting CoreELEC on it. Everything - including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & AV - works out of the box. So thanks for the advice, but I will stick to this TV-Box - at least until every last stone has been turned. Hello Lanefu. Thank you for the pointers. I was not aware that there might be inconsistencies between the boxes in that manner. That is definitely something that I will address with my supplier. Yes, but that approach has two drawbacks: 1. The SBCs do not have a good selection of proper enclosures/cases available (Orange Pi, Banana Pi...) and the Raspberry Pi is rather pricey. 2. Doing a project with any of those SBCs means that anybody else can easily replicate it. Using an unknown but high quality TV-Box will help protect the intellectual property. But I will consider all your good pointers. Thanks again.
  4. Hello Balbes150, Nice to meet you. I have read many of your posts here, as well as on other forums (LibreELEC, I think). I have also tried some of your IMG's at https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/arm-64/ - it booted just fine with my TV-Box, except Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and AV did not work. It would be an honor for me to work with you on this project. - What does "current Armbian version" mean? Well, I would like to be able to run Debian 11 (Bullseye) with XFCE. So I assume we are talking about compatibility with Linux kernel 5.10 If not possible for the newest versions, then it can also be for Buster or Stretch. - There is no such thing for TV boxes. It follows from this that the hidden context of the task is to create for you a full-fledged system with a working core in which all the equipment for your device works. Mmm, ok. I was assuming that using the correct DTB with the partially working IMG's would fix the problems. But I am new to this, so I might be wrong. - Yes, I can create such a DTB, but who will support all devices in the kernel itself, in the system. Wonderful! How would you prefer to proceed? Like I said, I can create a task on freelancer.com and commit the $500 for the project there. Or any other way you prefer...
  5. Dear all, Ok ok, I realize my previous post with $100 for this task is a bit low. Please do keep in mind, that this is only my personal hobby project. With that in mind, I hereby offer $500 to anyone, who can update the DTB file to work with the current version of Armbian. BTW, I have a freelancer.com account with a 5.0 rating as employer (as well as freelancer): https://www.freelancer.com/u/LeHawkDeLaNight - I can start a new project for you there, so there is no doubts about getting payed the $500. Thanks again, Roy Original post: Dear all, I have an Android TV-Box which is not a common type (but brand new). No existing DTB file that I tried works properly with Armbian (Ex. WiFi & Bluetooth missing). I have managed to extract the original DTB file from the built in Android (Pie, I believe), but as I read somewhere else, these DTB files are for older Linux kernels, and Armbian refuses to boot with it. My question: would anybody here like to attempt to update the DTB file, so that it adheres to the current Linux kernels standards for DTB files? I will offer $100 to anyone who can make it work. Technical specs of TV-Box: Amlogic S905X3 CPU 4GB RAM 64GB eMMC 2 X USB 2.0 & 1 X USB 3.0 Micro SD Card slot HDMI 2.1 AV out SPDIF/Optical WiFi 2.4G/5G 100M Ethernet Bluetooth 4.1 P.S. Please download the DTB/DTS files from here: Regards, Roy
