Thanks. I was not aware of that. I am amazed and glad that wifi works on my Tronsmart Vega S95 Telos with the S905 chipset. That's where I really needed it. The Minix was just an experiment.

This is an Android TV box using the 922 chipset. Under Android, I have been using stock firmware but also recall trying that from the Ugoos AM6. I have managed to get it to boot using u-boot-s905x2-s922. I have tried several of the DTB files starting with the g12b prefix. I had initial high hopes that the one for the Ugoos would work. And it did boot all the way into the desktop (I have auto-login enabled) but the mouse would not move nor would the keyboard respond. Since then I have tried many others - still working my way through them all one-by-one. And I have found some (gtking-pro.dtb, gsking-x.dtb) that appear to work pretty "normally" (not that I am sure it is all totally normal). But so far, in no case does the wifi work at all. Ethernet seems fine for the most part. But so far, no wifi - at all. Somewhere, I thought I saw something about Broadcomm and I also seem to recall seeing that Broadcomm drivers can be a problem - at least in 3rd party router firmware. So I wonder if anyone has managed to get wifi working on one of these devices? Thanks

I have ignition! Noble seems to run much better/faster on this limited hardware.Thanks once again Steelman!

Thanks! I have that in process now. Etcher is under way and validating. I am getting kind of old for this, I guess.

Ah, I found this archived post. So now I wonder what release to use. I have no recollection of what I did last time. Looks like Noble is the latest. So I will try that. It appears I was using u-boot-s905 as it is the same size as u-boot.ext and it is working. Thanks for all.

I am sorry but it is so long ago, I cannot even recall where to start - or even the original posting from you I was following. It just has all sipped away from me 😞

Many years ago, I fooled around and managed to get this old, Android TV box to boot/run Armbian from external SD card. As I recall, I followed Steelman's instructions. It appears to have kinetic (Unbuntu?) installed. I ended up not really using it and it went back into a box. Now I have a use for it. I want to run this software. And all of my apt commands fail in one way or another: bad repository (I changed to old-releases and that "helped"), then no release file (so I used insecure options on apt and that "helped" a bit but ultimately failed again), etc. So I guess I am being forced to upgrade. But all of the suggestions I have found to do this fail - basically again due to the above stuff. I am kind of at the end of my rope. Can anyone suggest what I should do? I need pretty good detail as I remain a newbie. Thanks
