Hello, I am using an X96 Air (S905X3) with Armbian (6.1.127-ophub) and I can see the hardware decoder working: v4l2-ctl --list-devices Amlogic Video Decoder (platform:meson-vdec): /dev/video0 However, the hardware encoder (VENC) does not appear: ls /dev/video* /dev/video0 ls /dev/amvenc* ls: cannot access '/dev/amvenc*': No such file or directory I want to use ffmpeg with hardware encoding (h264_v4l2m2m) for real-time RTMP streaming, but without the encoder device, it is not possible. Could you please explain: Does this kernel support VENC on S905X3 at all? If not, what changes are required to enable hardware encoder in the kernel? Is there any instructions or topics ? Any guidance or examples would be very helpful. Thank you!

I did it, so, you say that edge Ubuntu 24.04 have all required drivers for VPU ? that was my question

Hi, I have a TV box with an RK322x chip. I want to use FFmpeg and process video using FFmpeg hardware decoding. Please tell me: do I need to recompile the system/distro build, or does it work out of the box right now? If not, which distribution is better to choose? Please tell me.

Have the same issue, who has a ideas ?

Okay, got it, will use Armbian now but my question is open. Is it possible to boot Armbian from USB ?

A have TVBOX on Amlogic S905l, but this tvbox don't have sdcard, is it possible to boot this board from armbian burned to USB, if yes, can someone share documentation ? I mean to boot from USB before booting from EMMC. I shorted the contacts on the board to disable emmc and I see this message in the TTL logs: GXL:BL1:9ac50e:bb16dc;FEAT:ADFD318C:0;POC:3;RCY:0;EMMC:800;NAND:81;SD:800;USB:8;LOOP:1;EMMC:800;NAND:81;SD:800;USB:8;LOOP:2;EMMC:800;NAND:81;SD:800;USB:8;LOOP:3;EMMC:0;READ:0;0.0;CHK:0; looks like chip is asking for USB, but I'm not sure that it can boot from Maybe I need to create a specific bootable USB? I used an image https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian Link: https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases/download/Armbian_bookworm_save_2025.06/Armbian_25.08.0_amlogic_s905l-mg101_bookworm_6.12.31_server_2025.06.01.img.gz Please help me

have a problem with the same box how to boot from sdcard before boot from emmc ? as I know we need to run as update aml_autoscript file, but how to do that from armbian booted from sd card ?

Thank you! it's really work! wow, my eMMC is dead, os sees the real size of eMMC, but R\W operations are not available. One more question, I have MX10 with an sv6051p wifi chip, but the os is not see any wifi devices, is it possible to turn on sv6051p chip?

wow, good news! just a small clarification, Do you mean pins that turn on maskrom mode? in my side on the other side of the board under emmc. Also another question, what about speed? i guess eMMC is better than sdcard?

one second, if i short the clock ping of eMMC, what are the next steps ? how to boot Armbian from sd card? just flash img to sd card, put it to box and it will boot from sd card ?

it looks like the bootloader is in stock because the multitool is loaded successfully, but I cant burn Armbian to emmc, it is stuck. How can I run Armbian from sdcard ?

One question about my bricked MX10 4\64 GB, is it possible to update by maskrom image of armbian ? i suspect that my mmc is dead, I got Download IDB Failed, one more question, is it possible to boot Armbian from SD CARD if mmc is dead?

Thank you so much! everything is clear for me. another question, where I can find the latest Legacy img ? i guess it is only Debian buster?

So, the case with updating UUID like Hqnicolas say won`t work?

Understood, but how to determine correct UUID ?

and how to determine my UUID ? new UUID

But how can i do it via `multitool.img.xz` ? I flash NAND from multitool.img.xz

mx4 pro I tried to write to nand archive/Armbian_24.2.5_Rk322x-box_jammy_current_6.6.22.img via multitool, and get this message Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enougth?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! UUID=b9866ace-f260-437c-9794-8e1a363a3c71 does not exist. Dropping to a shell. I guess only legacy images is work now, how to fix this problem, who can help?

I compiled Armbian-unofficial_23.11.0-trunk_Olinux-som-a13_jammy_current_6.1.63_minimal.img Burn it to sd card, and tried to run it on my old Allwinner A13 laptop, and is got this Error message: U-Boot 2023.10-armbian (Oct 14 2023 - 01:13:59 +0000) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner A13 (SUN5I) Model: Olimex A13-Olinuxino DRAM: 512 MiB Core: 59 devices, 21 uclasses, devicetree: separate WDT: Not starting watchdog@1c20c90 MMC: mmc@1c0f000: 0 Loading Environment from FAT...

Please, I novice in u-boot and armbian, if possible, in more detail since I haven’t delved into the details of the launch very much, I’m still learning Thank you community

can it be an issue with dtb file?

Added this: setenv video-mode sunxi:1024x600-24@60,monitor=lcd setenv load_addr "0x45000000" setenv overlay_error "false" # default values setenv verbosity "7" setenv console "both" setenv disp_mem_reserves "off" setenv disp_mode "1024x600p60" setenv rootfstype "ext4" setenv docker_optimizations "on" setenv bootlogo "false" setenv devnum "0" setenv rootdev "/dev/mmcblk${devnum}p1" setenv earlycon "off" setenv video-mode sunxi:1024x600-24@60,monitor=lcd to boot.cmd , compiled boot.scr but nothing Any ideas? armbian-ramlog.log boot.log kern.log armbian-hardware-monitor.log syslog user.log

To discussion: I found this https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner/#how-to-reconfigure-video-output Can it help me to fix my issue ? after changing boot.cmd need to compile it ?

I built armbian from the main branch for my tablet based on Allwinner A33 and the topic: Used q88_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig and tried q8_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig the image was built successfully, at startup I see the console of u-boot, and can use it bu OTG, but only before message the kernel starting... and then after kernel starting it will a black screen as i think the video mode or something else is configured incorrectly, I checked the boot kernel logs, the kernel starts successfully, there are no any errors during start, apparently the problem is only in the video output on my tablet. I ask for help, help me understand what the problem is and figure it out, this is very important to me P.S. Author from topic above, say that need to set , because boot screen will be black, but this case is not helped for me: echo blacklist pwm_bl>/etc/modprobe.d/pwm.conf P.S.S Also, i tried to built Armbian 23.02, the same as code in main branch
