Hello, folks. I can not make neither the 23.02.2 or the 23.8.1 version to work on the A95X F3 AIR Tv Box. Any suggestion?

Hi. @tgillett I've tried the Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_bullseye_current_5.9.0_desktop.img file (link) (mentioned on your previous messages) with the Armbian_23.8.1_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.1.50_xfce_desktop.img DTB files (link) (from @SteeMan 's post) . The system started well to a XFCE Desktop enviroment. It has sound working well since the beggining and it appears to have ethernet working too. However, I can not make the wifi connection to work. Could you, please, help me with that? Also, the Debian 20.10 repositories since to be oudated and not working anymore. How can I update the repositories?

@knish Is it possible that the SD card is only unreadable to the Mac system? On the other hand, I've had problems using the last version of the system (23.8.1), but could make an older version like the 23.02.2 to work. Maybe you could try that. Link

2023-10-18 Today I will start with the second attemp to use ARMBIAN on a TV Box for a fully Linux desktop experience. I gaved the old TV Box (T95 Max+) to one of my nephews as a retro game console with Emuelec (he was very pleased). I could make ARMBIAN work with the Ubuntu version from this link. I used the 6.1.11 jammy version. The user interface and the ethernet port worked well with the meson-sm1-a95xf3-air-gbit.dtb file. Sadly I could not make the sound or the wifi to work, but I could easily reach wifi connection through a USB Wifi Device. I also changed the original device firmware for Aidan's ROM, which let me install a pure Android TV system on the TV Box, instead of the uglier original one. Today I will start trying a new TV Box: the A95X F3 AIR, with 4 GB of RAM, 32 Gb of internal memory and 100 Mbits ethernet. I will let you know how the ARMBIAN experiment went.

After trying the 6.1.11 version of the system (XFCE Edition), I could get the system to start, but the loading proccess get stuck on "random : crng init done". I've been waiting for about 20 minutes now and the proccess stay on like the attached image. Downloaded file: Armbian_23.02.2_Aml-s9xx-box_bullseye_current_6.1.11_xfce_desktop.img.xz
