So without sounding silly, is there some way to change that? so it just uses the standard uboot as opposed to the android one. Is it just specifically the android one that is required? Or is it a one off thing and then i can install to emmc and still be able to boot mainline u-boot from sd card? One other reason I don't want to be relying on android boot especially wetek as they have no support and even removed all existing files they hosted.

Hi so managed to get my hands on a cable and this is the output: GXBB:BL1:08dafd:0a8993;FEAT:EDFD718C;POC:3;RCY:0;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:1;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:2;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:3;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:4;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:5;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:6;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:7;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:8;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8; Also just want to clarify, that my emmc is completely clean wiped and doesn't have anything on it (android or linux). I did this by booting up using libreelec and then wiping using dd if commands. This allowed me to boot a mainline uboot kernel of libreelec. Just for information, here is another SD card with mainline libreelec and how it shows up on the serial after trying the armbian sd card, taking it out and putting the libreelec one in on the same power cycle: GXBB:BL1:08dafd:0a8993;FEAT:EDFD718C;POC:3;RCY:0;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:1;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:2;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:3;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:4;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:5;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:6;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:7;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:8;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:9;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;USB:8;LOOP:A;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:800;USB:8;LOOP:B;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:800;USB:8;LOOP:C;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:800;USB:8;LOOP:D;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:F3;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:0; no sdio debug board detected TE: 66697062 BL2 Built : 09:01:42, Oct 11 2016. gxb g88b04d6 - haixiang.bao@droid05 set vcck to 1100 mv set vddee to 1000 mv Board ID = 4 CPU clk: 1536MHz DDR chl: Rank0+1 diff @ 912MHz DDR0: 1024MB(auto)-2T-13 DDR1: 1024MB(auto)-2T-13 DataBus test pass!

In the process of getting myself a serial cable to see what is happening. Couple of things I noticed prior was the boot.ini file says `ODROIDN2-UBOOT-CONFIG` my extlinux.conf says: ``` LABEL Armbian LINUX /zImage INITRD /uInitrd FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-odroidc2.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 ``` This is a working libreelec mainline uboot ``` LABEL LibreELEC LINUX /KERNEL FDT /meson-gxbb-wetek-play2.dtb APPEND boot=LABEL=LIBREELEC disk=LABEL=STORAGE quiet systemd.debug_shell=ttyAML0 console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 ``` Whats the link with odroidn2 if anything i thought it would have been odroidc2

Struggling to boot up here. I have wiped the emmc, I am able to boot using libreelec and mainline u-boot but not armbian. There is an actual wetek play 2 dtb that i have referenced but it doesn't want to boot. LABEL Armbian LINUX /zImage INITRD /uInitrd #FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-p200.dtb FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-wetek-play2.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 have also COPIED the u-boot-s905 and renamed the copied version to u-boot.ext I have also tried the generic p200. I wonder what settings @sadek used. Also the moment it boots up should I see something on TV through HDMI?

I think there was one person on here that managed to successfully boot wp2 (sadek). I will use the device tree of gxl p200. From memory that is what use to work when you had to manually copy dtb in coreelec. Question: I only have ever used coreelec on sd card, not on emmc. I can boot into android as per normal I shouldn't need to reflash just because I had coreelec booted?

Hi, I plan on installing Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_bullseye_current_5.9.0.img.xz on my rather old wetek play 2, to be used as a home server. I just want to confirm, I have been trolling through the forums that this version appears to be the latest one that can be installed? Am I also correct in assuming debian is more stable than ubuntu? Since majority of my containers are networking related, this is what I value most above, bluetooth wifi etc...
