Hi @kostkol87, the link and dtb are in my post, if your problem is exactly the same as mine, it will probably work for you!

Hi @Magd Almuntaser, I'm glad you got it too by following what was said. About the wi-fi, mine didn't work either, but in my case it's not a problem because I'm using it wired. But later I can try to fix it.

Hello @SteeMan, when I managed to run and install the previous version, I was excited and believed that I could run a current version, because I thought I had "unlocked" something in the hardware, but it was not possible to run through the SD Card. I could record a video to show the steps I followed, but I speak Brazilian Portuguese and I don't speak English (I translate the texts via Google Translate), you wouldn't understand me. But basically what I did was trial and error, I tried the "Focal" and "Bullseye" versions, and 6 months ago I talked to you (TX3 Mini without reset button does not boot), and you suggested me to test all available dtb's and that's what I did, were almost 50 attempts on each of these versions, and the common errors I had were: "kernel panic - not syncing: asynchronous serror interrupt armbian", "memory limit none" and finally there was a moment when I managed to access a console, but without success to advance appeared "(initramfs)". So searching here on the forum I saw this link and decided to try, and by "luck" I managed to run it on my first attempt with an interface, I even installed it on my eMMC, but I needed to install Open Media Vault and I discovered that it does not run on Linux with an interface , so I decided to run it with the same version without interface and once again I managed to install it in eMMC, and now I'm running it without many problems, I have an Open Media Vault installed, an external HD connected and I also installed and configured Emby ( this one I'm still trying to find the best setting, as it crashes with some movies when transcoding because of the modest hardware). If you have other tests I can run, I'd be happy to help.

@Nandhu I followed the already known steps that you did earlier, the difference was the image I used, which I found in this link here: https://loksado.com/2020/02/download-armbian-linux-untuk-hg680p-dan-b860h-amlogic-s905-p212/ (I hope it doesn't cause problems to post this link), I used some versions, and for my case the one that worked was "5.91", I used the dtb referring to my TV Box (meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dtb) and using the versions with and without interface and both worked, at first I tested it on the SD Card, when I saw that it was everything went well, I ran "install.sh" which ran smoothly, and now I'm running my Armbian smoothly. I hope this helps you and others who have had the same problem as me.

@Nandhu After so many attempts I managed to install Armbian on the TX3 Mini (Amlogic S905W), on its internal memory (eMMC), but it was trial and error, and I still only managed on an old version (Armbian 5.91, based on Debian), but for my purpose must meet.

@Nandhu My TV Box is a TX3 Mini, and I had the exact same problem with this processor, did you find a solution? I've tried everything possible and unfortunately I can't move forward.

@SteeMan Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay, I tried other dtb's but they all stopped at "Starting kernel..." and it doesn't do anything else, I believe it's because they are incompatible. But it's ok, although I bought this device to be able to have a multimedia server with Emby, no problem, I'll give it another purpose. Thanks again.

Hi, thanks for the guide. Can you help me? I have a TX3 Mini rev. 1.6 with Amlogic S905W and I tested it with several images, defining several dtb's but in all situations that it boots, it simply displays "", I searched in several sources for the resolution of this problem, but I did not find any , below I added the photo of my board and the error stack. Thanks!

Searching the forum I found this answer that may help anyone who has the same question: Link I would like to kindly ask the moderator to close the topic, please. Thanks!

I bought a TX3 Mini with Amlogic S905w, I'm following all the steps to boot, but the board does not have the reset button, and it simply ignores the connected SD Card and starts Android. I also tried resetting Android to see if it would boot, but it didn't work, has anyone experienced this? Thanks!
