Hi, I want to make step by step and I am reading all post that I can't, but I have not information about this. I can use linux commands, but I am a newbie.
I have download and flash a micro sd as this links steps (I think there are the same what I have read in several posts here: https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0269.html
Firmware donwloaded from https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus (https://es.sbcmirror.org/dl/aml-s9xx-box/archive/)
This one: Armbian_23.11.1_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.1.63_xfce_desktop.img.xz
Checked SHA256
And flash
Boot is ok with armbian.
Yesterday I had problem to boot in android after taking off the micro sd card, but today I was preparing to record you some photos and .... android boots, so no problem here.
So next step is backup android partition just in case.
I have a Mini MXIII-II with 2gb and 16gb emmc S905X
So, as my sd card is only 8gb, I plug a 16gb usb to my tv box.
This is my situation:
1. u-boot correctly choosen
2. extlinux/extlinux.conf is this:
LABEL Armbian
LINUX /Image
INITRD /uInitrd
#FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-p200.dtb
FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb

3. Some information of my boot with the armbian sd card:
ddbr doesn't detect emmc, but I think that I can see it in lsblk: mmcblk1, can't I?
I am newbie, so probably I need something about mount or something like that?
Or there is also something wrong in extlinux.conf (append root line?) ?
Thanks a lot for your support.
After I can make the backup, I will try to install from SD card to EMMC. Then I will solve the problem about audio. I understand that once I have "linux" installed in emmc I can boot with any bootable usb drive, update drivers, and so on, isn't it?
