I don't wish to appear rude, so I'm back with an update. My main goal for this was to install HomeAssistant, which I successfully did using miniach, so I've no requirements for Armbian at this stage. Getting HomeAssistant to run however is another issue. 🙂 Thanks for the input though.

You will need : A PC with linux (Debian or ubuntu ) Already failed.😞 unless I can run Ubuntu in a sandbox or emu etc. having said that, I’m now investigating whether or not Home Assistant will run on miniarch

im willing to try anything, even if i dont achieve anything at my end, it may help others.

MiniArch-20240715-6.10.10-board-h313.x96_q-SD-Image.img boots with a linux command line prompt. Ill be honest though, ive no idea what to do beyond that.

Ive been watching this topic for about a week, and i'll be honest, I've no idea on half of what you're talking about. However, I too have a redundant X96Q box, which i'd like to try and run linux so I can then try and run Home Assistant. I flashed Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img to an SD card with Rufus and then again with Belena Etcher, but the TV box wont start with the SD card inserted, although when I say it doesnt boot.. I see nothing through HDMI and the LED remains red. I know its a long shot. But is it currently possible to run on the V4 board (image attached), i see that youre all working hard in the background, so maybe something for me to come back and look at in a few weeks/months. ?
