I was looking for a low-cost S905W tv box. I discovered this counterfeitby accident because I couldn't boot any armbian image for S905W soc and I accidentally tried the multitool and it started right away 1GB/8GB version and not 2GB/16GB.
 
So be very careful what you buy and if possible send it back to these dishonest Chinese sellers!

A guide to installing Armbian on the H96 Max V11 (RK3318_V1.4 blue PCB)
 

 
What you will need
Your H96 Max V11 TV box with the power supply and the HDMI cable that came with it; A TV or a monitor with an HDMI port; A wired USB keyboard (or a wireless one with a USB dongle); An Ethernet cable to connect to a router on your home network that has Internet access; A Micro SD card (minimum 1GB, more if you're going to back up Android on your box before overwriting it with Armbian); A USB card reader for Micro SD cards; A Windows PC connected to your home network;  
Installation steps
Download the experimental Armbian image (kernel 5.19.15 and libreelec patches — alas, that's the latest version that works correctly with our box) and a copy of the Multitool; Burn the Multitool on the SD card using Rufus (no need to change any settings, just click "SELECT" and locate multitool.img.xz or drag and drop the file on Rufus and then click "START"); Connect your TV box to the TV or monitor, connect the keyboard, plug in the Multitool SD card and then plug in the power cord; Wait a minute (while SD card partitions are being resized) for the Multitool main menu to appear, then select "Shutdown"; Unplug the power cord and the SD card, then plug the SD card into your PC. Two new drives should appear, labeled BOOTSTRAP and MULTITOOL. If you see both, skip the next step. If you only see the BOOTSTRAP, proceed to the next step; Start Disk Management (press Win+X, K). Scroll down the list of disks (use the scrollbar, because mouse wheel doesn't work there) to locate your SD card, and on the MULTITOOL partition right-click, then press C, and click "Add", "OK"; Open the MULTITOOL drive in Windows Explorer (or your favorite file manager) and copy the downloaded Armbian image to the images folder; Safely remove (eject) the SD card, plug it into the TV box and plug in the power cord. The Multitool main menu will appear in a few seconds; If you don't care about stock Android firmware on your TV box, skip the next step. If you want to back up the Android firmware, proceed to the next step; In the Multitool main menu select "Backup flash" and click through (there will be only one option). Name your backup file. Wait for the backup to finish. The backup file will be saved to the backups folder on the SD card's MULTITOOL partition; Now it's time to replace Android with Armbian. In the Multitool main menu select "Burn image to flash" and click through (there will be only one option). Wait for the process to complete, then in the main menu select "Shutdown"; Unplug the power cord and the SD card, then replug the power cord. Wait a few minutes for Armbian to get everything ready for its first launch, and then follow the initial setup prompts; You will be taken to the login prompt. Log in with the name/password for the regular user you've created; Connect your TV box to your home network router with an Ethernet cable; In Armbian, enter the command sudo cat /run/motd.dynamic and note the IP address assigned by the router to the TV box; Now you will need to connect to your TV box on the home network via the SSH protocol. If you're running Windows 10 or later, press Win+X, I, Enter. A PowerShell/Terminal window will open. Enter the following command, substituting the words in angle brackets with actual values: ssh <IP address from the previous step> -l <name for the regular user>. Type yes at the prompt asking if you really want to connect to this unknown host. At the next prompt that appears, enter the password for the regular user you've created. Skip the next step; If you're running an older version of Windows, you will need to download PuTTY, an SSH and Telnet client, set up an SSH connection to your TV box with the IP address above and log in with the name/password for the regular user; Now it's time to fix the settings for the Wi-Fi chip that doesn't work out of the box on the H96 Max V11. To delete the old settings, copy the command sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.rockchip,rk3318-box.txt and paste it by right-clicking in the SSH window, then press Enter; To create the new settings file, enter (copy-paste) the command sudo nano /usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.rockchip,rk3318-box.txt The nano text editor will open with a new empty file; Now open this small text file (a copy of nvram_2734c.txt from this forum topic), press Ctrl-A to select all text in it, then Ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard; Switch to the SSH window, right-click to paste the copied text to nano then press Ctrl-S to save and Ctrl-X to exit; Enter (or copy-paste) the command sudo reboot -f to reboot Armbian. After that you can either close the SSH window and proceed with the physical console or start a new SSH session once Armbian has restarted; Enter (or copy-paste) the command sudo apt update && sudo apt install armbian-config After the update and installation is completed, run armbian-config to configure various software and hardware settings (including Wi-Fi). It is recommended to select "Freeze" in System settings to disable Armbian kernel upgrades because our kernel is compiled with custom patches enabling HDMI output on H96 Max V11 to work properly that are unavailable in other kernel versions.

Hello @Jens J.
 
I found a solution to be able to run Armbian on this device.
At my institution we are converting these TV Boxes into computers to make available in public schools. So I have 40 units from this same box and this unit was the only one with NAND memory.
So I managed to install Armbian on the other units and after carrying out all the customization I created a DD image of the EMMC unit /dev/mmcblk1.
 
(Note: check if your partition is /dev/mmcblk1 or /dev/mmcblk2)  
Create a compressed disk image:
dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 status=progress | gzip -9 /mnt/external/filename.img.gz  
Then I cloned the NAND unit and, oddly enough, it was uploaded to the Armbian system.
zcat /mnt/external/filename.img.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk1  
It appears that when cloning information from an EMMC partition to NAND the u-boot process occurs normally without analyzing the hardware context.
So if anyone has the same problem, if you can get another unit with EMMC memory, it may be possible to convert it to a NAND unit.

Success!
 
Yesterday late in the evening I managed to boot from usb. What I did was burn Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Armsom-sige5_noble_vendor_6.1.75_minimal to a USB drive, replace the dtb with the one from Android and boot with the commands "usb start" and "run bootcmd_usb0".
 
I couldn't get ROC's image nor Multiboot (with the replaced dtb) to boot this way.
 

 
EDIT: Installed it to eMMC and ran sbc-bench - results https://0x0.st/Xvsr.bin
 
 
When I plug in the HDMI, it crashes Will have to investigate.

Hi,
 
posting a solution I have found how to boot Armbian on S905x device Scishion V88 Pro
 
My device:
 
* works, boots into an Android (has working u-boot)
* has no reset button
* contains thirdparty Android ROM that does not allow to enter aml burn mode
* cannot use Android update app
* does not respond to eMMC pin short (like in this post)
 
The only way to boot Armbian in this case is to solder serial console, interrupt u-boot and run recover from sd card command:
 
1. solder serial console
2. connect usb-serial adapter
3. insert Armbian prepared SD card for your amlogic CPU version
4. plug power and immediately press and hold Enter
5. you should see interrupted u-boot prompt (ex, gxl_p212_v1#)
6. type command run recovery_from_sdcard and hit Enter
7. the box should now boot in Armbian

Here my review video of the Tanix TX6 TV-Box. I show Android and how to install Armbian onto it.
Greetings,
NicoD

I wrote a full guide for X96 Mini. It is available there.
 
https://github.com/kdrapel/x96mini_linux/blob/main/README.md
 
----
 
Installing Linux on X96 Mini
Goal is to install a Linux on a X96 Mini that I did not use anymore as a TV box and wanted to recycle as a DNS server for ads-blocking (https://pi-hole.net/) and other experiments.
 
Important: I will not give any support or answer questions related to issues happening with your own X96
 
Prerequisites
Instructions are covering steps on a Windows machine. Should be similar for Linux. Based upon (messy) instructions found at https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12162-single-armbian-image-for-rk-aml-aw-aarch64-armv8/
 
Hardware
X96 Mini 2GB CPU is S905X. Label behind say "X96 mini RAM 2GB, ROM 16 GB". SD card, 16 GB. Smaller will be ok too (needs at least 8GB) Toothpick or small stick (reset button inside AV jack) Software
Rufus 3.12 7Z  
Preparation
Download https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/arm-64/Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0.img.xz Unzip this file to get Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0.img Launch Rufus, select the img. Click on 'Start'. SD card will be formatted and content will be written.  
Configuration of u-boot
In Windows Explorer, navigate to your SD card. You should see a structure a 'extlinux' folder, 'dtb', etc.
Rename the file 'u-boot-s905x-s912' to 'u-boot.ext'
 
Configuration of device tree block
A Device Tree Block (DTB) is a file that contains important information about the target hardware (more info http://junyelee.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-tutorial-on-device-tree.html). So it is necessary to use the proper one. This is a tricky part and if an improper DTB is used, your target system will fail loading or the kernel will panic.
 
Edit the file /extlinux/extlinux.conf Comment out all lines starting with FDT and APPEND (we don't want RK or AW configuration, we are only interested in AML s9xxx section). Uncomment 'FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb' and 'APPEND ....'. See example below LABEL Armbian LINUX /zImage INITRD /uInitrd # rk-3399 #FDT /dtb/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtb #FDT /dtb/rockchip/rk3399-nanopc-t4.dtb #FDT /dtb/rockchip/rk3399-roc-pc-mezzanine.dtb #APPEND root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=uart8250,mmio32,0xff1a0000 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 # rk-3328 #FDT /dtb/rockchip/rk3328-roc-pc.dtb #FDT /dtb/rockchip/rk3328-box-trn9.dtb #FDT /dtb/rockchip/rk3328-box.dtb #APPEND root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=uart8250,mmio32,0xff130000 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 # aw h6 #FDT /dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-tanix-tx6.dtb #APPEND root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 video=HDMI-A-1:e #APPEND root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 mem=2048M video=HDMI-A-1:e # aml s9xxx #FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-p200.dtb FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb #FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxm-q200.dtb #FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb #FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-g12b-odroid-n2.dtb APPEND root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0  
Launching
Unplug the X96 Mini Insert the SD card Using a toothpick, small stick or whatever suitable, press on the 'reset' switch which is located inside the AV jack. You don't need to press too hard. While the reset switch is maintained pressed, plug the power. The X96 Mini screen will appear and normally after a few seconds, it should switch to the Linux boot. You can release the reset switch. Linux should run if everything is properly configured. I access it through SSH on port 22. It is of course recommended to change the default root password (root / 1234)  
 

 
Installing Pi-Hole on the X96
 
Upgrading system
 
First upgrade your system with "apt-get upgrade" About 50 packages or so are upgraded.  
Install Pi-Hole
 
It may fail by saying that your OS is not supported, just follow the instructions they provide in the error message in this case. I will not detail the complete installation, I used the default configuration step without doing any tweaking except giving the target IP address of my X96 on my network.
 
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true sudo -E bash  

 
Configuration of router
Assign a static IP to the MAC address of your X96. This must match what you defined in the PI-hole configuration. Switch the router to your new DNS server (as the primary). I left the secondary DNS server to my ISP default, just in case the X96 crashes or fails for whatever reason.  
Smoke testing
Disable ad-blocking in your browser and navigate to some heavy websites  Additional lists may be useful for Youtube adblocking, here is my configuration.   

 
Known issues
Wifi is not working. I did not investigate more as I don't need it right now. Probably some (proprietary) Realtek drivers are needed from what I have read on the web.
 
Troubleshootings
You can attach a keyboard and mouse to the USB ports. The Logitech receiver is also working such that I could use my keyboard.

The guide was created in response to the outdated or non-functional nature of much of the software provided by armbian-config->Software->Softy, particularly for TV boxes. It is tailored for advanced users who are adept at using commands, prefer manual installation, and favor the convenience of copying and pasting commands rather than searching for them on the armbian forum. While detailed explanations of each command's function won't be provided, I will include source links for each section, enabling you to conduct your own research. In this guide, I am using the latest ubuntu-based Armbian build: Armbian_23.11.1_Aml-s9xx-box_jammy_current_6.1.63_xfce_desktop.img.xz.

check dtb
Install Device Info HW and open the app In the "SYSTEM" tab, you can find the "dtb" information for your box. This information is crucial for configuring the boot partition correctly. Please keep a note of your "dtb" (device tree blob) information for future boot partition configuration.  
burn Armbian to SD card
Mare sure to use good, reliable and fast SD card from SandDisk, class 10, A1 Choose between ubuntu (jammy) and debian (bookworm) and download .xz file compressed image from the official Armbian archive. For advanced linux users who want a clean server (not even includes armbian-config), the "minimal" variant is recommended. Download burning tool balenaEtcher or USBImager and burn the compressed image to your SD card. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/

Open extlinux/extlinux.conf and uncomment the correct dtb for your box. If you make a mistake here, you will fail to boot. Make sure only one line is uncommented (check your dtb, for s912 SoC its q200 or q201). Go back to armbi_boot partition, copy the correct u-boot file according to your SoC and rename it to u-boot.ext. If you dont know your SoC, boot into Android, install/open Device Info HW app and go to SOC tab. The app may need root access to read device specs.  
install Armbian on SD card
To boot the system for the first time you have to use one from the following - sometimes only one way of doing this works! If your box is installed with libreElec/coreElec, then you can't boot into Armbian, because you have to flash stock Android firmware first.
Toothpick method: disconnect the power supply, insert card/drive, push reset button and connect the power while holding the button. Wait until Armbian logo appears and release the button. Terminal method: boot to Android, insert SD card with Armbian, install Terminal Emulator app (either from Google Play or APKMirror), run it and type reboot update. Your box should reboot to Armbian. Update&Backup: somewhere in the Android interface, perhaps the applications folder, you will find a program called Update OR Update&Backup, open it if you have "Update" app pre-installed, insert SD card with Armbian, select "Local" and choose ZIP file (aml_autoscript.zip) from the SD card; select "Update" and your box should reboot to Armbian. Recovery method: boot into Android, insert card/thumb drive and choose Reboot to recovery. Your box should boot into Armbian. ADB method: enable ADB (Google it) and run the following command in a terminal window: adb reboot update Menu button method (works with very few devices): disconnect the power supply, insert card/drive, push menu button on your remote control and connect the power while holding the button. Wait until Armbian boot script appears and release the button.  
install-aml.sh script
NOTE: This will overwrite the Android ROM on the eMMC flash and attempt to install Armbian on the internal eMMC storage. Before beginning, make sure you have a backup of the stock Android ROM in the event the installation fails or you want to revert back to Android in the future. Proceed at your own risk.
You can copy the working Armbian environment from SD card to eMMC using the install-aml.sh script. This file does a physical copy of whole system to eMMC. You can install Armbian to eMMC by running the shell script in the /root directory. Run the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo su cd /root/ sudo ./install-aml.sh Once the Armbian finishes copying to the eMMC, shutdown Armbian, unplug power from the box, remove the SD card from the box, power the box back on to boot from the eMMC storage, if everything worked as expected, Armbian should boot from the internal eMMC storage and no longer require the SD/microSD card.
 
Amlogic USB Burning Tool
If you have a box with an Amlogic processor and need to update its firmware, install a custom ROM, or unbrick the box, the Amlogic USB Burning Tool is the recommended solution. It provides an easy-to-use interface for flashing firmware onto Amlogic-based devices. To use the Amlogic USB Burning Tool, follow these steps:
Download the Amlogic USB tool zip file and extract it to the PC. In the folder, you have the InstallDriver.exe. This will install the required drivers for Amlogic TV boxes. Download the firmware file compatible with your box. Launch the Amlogic USB Burning Tool, change language and click “File” > “Import Image” to load the firmware file. Connect your box to your PC using a USB cable, ensuring the box is in recovery mode (toothpick method) or bootloader mode. The tool should detect your box, and you can click the “Start” button to begin the flashing process. Wait for the process to complete, and your box will reboot with the new firmware installed.  
Amlogic Burn Card Maker Tool
With this method you can recover the device from a brick if you have no way to connect it to a PC. In this tutorial, we will guide you on using the burn card maker tool to create a bootable SD card for reinstalling Android Stock Firmware (ROM) on your box. You just need the correct firmware (ROM) for your specific box.
Download Burn_Card_Maker v2.0.2 (3.96 MB). Extract the archive and run Burn_Card_Maker.exe file to run the tool. Click on upper left chinese menu and choose second option, check ‘English Version’ and restart the application. Choose disk then ‘Choose your image files’ to open image and select your specific .img firmware for your box. Press ‘Make’ button and wait to finish. Now insert the micro SD card in your box and power on while holding the reset AV button. You will be able to enter into recovery and the firmware will be flashed automatically. When the TV BOX reboots, remove the micro SD Card, this step is very important, wait 4-5 minutes and the update will completed. If your device fails to boot, your last option is to use the SHORT PIN method.  
SHORT PIN method
Follow the steps outlined in the guide Amlogic Burn Card Maker Tool. If pressing the AV reset button doesn't work, it is likely that your device is unresponsive or "dead". In this case, you can try shorting out the PINS. Please note that at this point, you have little to lose in terms of further damage to the device. The SHORT PIN method can be used when other recovery methods and the Amlogic USB Burning Tool are not responsive. Please note that this method should only be attempted by those who fully understand the risks involved in handling electronics and take full responsibility for any potential issues that may arise.
Dismantle: to proceed with the SHORT PIN method, you will need to dismantle your device. Remove the rubber placeholders on the back of the device to reveal screws. Unscrew these screws and carefully separate the device. Be cautious when removing the top part of the device, as the WIFI antenna is usually attached to it. Removing it too quickly may cause damage to the WIFI cable. NAND flash: locate the NAND flash chip, which is where the operating system is stored. Look closely at the PINS on the chip, as they are quite small. Identify two pins that are next to each other, and using a screwdriver, short them out by making them touch each other. Recovery menu: ensure that your SD card is inserted with the firmware image using the Burn Card Maker tool. Have your power supply and HDMI cable ready to be inserted. Now, slowly try different combinations of the PINS while applying power to the device. Eventually, you will find a combination that initiates the hardware and communicates with the SD card. This will initiate the boot sequence, and you should see a recovery menu on the screen. From there, the installation of Android will begin. Essentially, shorting out these two PINS is similar to holding the AV reset button. Again: Before applying power, hold down the two PINS and then apply power. Repeat this process until you see results or something on the screen. Sometimes, the screen may flash green or red, indicating that you have found the correct PINS but have the wrong firmware. In this case, return to your PC and find a different firmware image specific to your SoC. If you are unable to find the original stock ROM for your box, it is possible that your box is a clone of another well-known box. In this case, find the firmware for the box that is most closely related to yours. You need to make your box boot once into recovery/update mode to reinstall firmware from SD card. The SHORT PIN method modifies normal boot procedure to make your box look for kernel and dtb on SD card before booting from internal memory.

sudo apt install midori  
install RPi monitor
The RPi monitor on port 8888 can also be installed for AMLOGIC boxes with the following command:

install full armbian firmware
By default, the Armbian builds only include a limited set of firmwares out of the box. To address certain driver issues, you may need to install the complete Armbian firmware. There are two ways to do this: either through armbian-config -> software -> Full, or by manually installing the firmware via a USB device if you don't have internet connectivity on your box. To manually install the firmware, download it from the following link: https://imola.armbian.com/apt/pool/main/a/armbian-firmware-full/. Once downloaded, copy the firmware to your USB device. Then, insert the USB device into the Armbian box and navigate to your home folder.
cd ~ Check device identifier of your USB device:
lsblk Mount USB device at ./usbstick and install the package:
mkdir usbstick sudo mount /dev/sdX1 ./usbstick cd usbstick dpkg --install armbian-firmware-full_*.deb Replace sdX1 with your device identifier.
 
install USB LTE dongle
Armbian has a default setting that treats USB LTE Dongles as mass storage devices. However, in order for the dongle to be recognized as an Ethernet device, it needs to be switched from mass storage mode to network mode. To achieve this, we will need to install and configure usb-modeswitch.
sudo nano /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf Paste the following:
# Huawei E353 (3.se) and others TargetVendor=0x12d1 TargetProductList="14db,14dc" HuaweiNewMode=1 NoDriverLoading=1 Install usb-modeswitch:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch Switch dongle to network mode:
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f01 -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf You can now check if mass storage is removed:

armbian commands
Configure system, network, timezone, language, hostname, keyboard, etc:
armbian-config Check temperature of SoC:
armbianmonitor -m Get boot logs for inspection and automatically upload it to an online pasteboard service:
armbianmonitor -u  
backup SD card
Identify the SD Card: First, you need to identify the device name of your SD card. You can use the lsblk or fdisk -l command to list all storage devices and identify the SD card. Backup with dd: Use the dd command to create a raw image of the SD card. Here's an example command: sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=/path/to/backup.img bs=4M status=progress Replace /dev/sdX with the actual device name of your SD card and /path/to/backup.img with the desired backup location and filename. Restoring from Backup: To restore the backup to a new SD card, you can use either balenaEtcher or a similar command in reverse: sudo dd if=/path/to/backup.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress

Hi all. I've done a lot of tests with different desktop environments on Armbian.
I wanted an as light as possible desktop environment so I'd have enough ram left to do video rendering with the NanoPi M4(2GB)
I had to try a lot of things to get things working fine. So I wanted to save others that hassle.
 
Setting up Display Manager

First we need a Display Manager. NODM is installed by default. I tried lightdm but couldn't get it to work. So I went for LXDM. With NODM installed I had problems, so I also removed NODM.
To be sure lxdm is configured right, I also manually configure it.
sudo apt install lxdm sudo apt remove nodm sudo dpkg-reconfigure lxdm Install LXDE Desktop
 
Next step is to install the desktop environment you want. There is a problem with some Desktop Environments and LXDM what makes you can't login to some DE's out of the box. That we will resolve later. Easiest is to install lxdm first to be able to configure the others well. And reboot.
sudo apt install lxde sudo reboot Once booted you should be greeted by the Login screen. Here you can choose your different Desktop Environment. Choose LXDE and login.
If you'd try xfce4, then you'd see it doesn't work. To fix this we need to change the file /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop. Use your favorite text editor. I use geany.
 
sudo geany /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop Somewhere at the top of the file you'll see "Name=Xfce Session". Replace that space with a hyphen to "Name=Xfce-Session" and save the file.
Now you can also login to the default XFCE4 Desktop.
With other desktops this can be the same. Go the the same directory and open the file with the desktop name that doesn't work. Again replace the space with a hyphen
 
Installing different Desktop Environments.
For the Mate desktop I also needed to install the applets, else I got errors at login because of these missing applets
sudo apt install mate-desktop-environment mate-applets For KDE-Plasma
sudo apt install kde-full For Gnome. Modify the file sudo geany /usr/share/xsessions/gnome...
sudo apt install gnome-session sudo update-alternatives --config gdm3.css
I also tried LXQT. But this one didn't work. You can try others too.

Remove Desktop Environment
To remove a desktop environment you don't want anymore you do the remove instead of install.
sudo apt remove kde-full sudo apt remove mate-desktop-environment . . .
Please let me know if there's mistakes made, or if you've got advice.

Greetings, NicoD

Many of us are using Armbian not just on ARM single board computers but also on servers (bare metal & virtual). We use our builds since we trust it more then Debian, Ubuntu, not to mention other distributions that are recklessly updating and one ends up as an OS tester and not OS user. Personally I use Armbian Jammy on Ryzen 9 workstation with great success. My primary use case is development / productivity. For the road I used to have 13" Dell notebook which recently suddenly died. It was out of warranty so I had to get something new. After some testings of various devices I settled with 12th Gen Intel i5-1240P powered Lenovo. Then I tried many general purpose distros to see how well they work and all had some (minor) troubles ... 

We are having UEFI images (common image) since some time, but UEFI nor desktops were fine tuned nor ready for such performance daily driver desktop usage. We were close, but not close enough to just run it. Past two weeks we have been lifting general UEFI support, fixed many bugs and what came out is "Armbian ultimate developers desktop build".
 

 
- improved support in GRUB (armbian wallpaper) & HiDPI GRUB support
- all preinstalled applications are normal apt packages
- current 5.15.y kernel, Jammy userland (5.19.y has some strange issues)
- snapd is not installed (user can install it)
- HiDPI support (automated adjustments on big screen resolutions)
- NVIDIA graphics acceleration with proprietary driver (x86 only)
- Intel graphics acceleration also works out of the box
- preinstalled Google Chrome (x86 only)
- preinstalled Microsoft Visual Studio Code (x86 only)
- ZFS 2.1.5 ready (apt install zfsutils-linux zfs-dkms)
- face unlock works perfectly fine on this laptop
- installation to SSD drive to dual boot with Windows 10/11 is supported Armbian classical way by transferring actual live image to the prepared partition via nand-sata-install. All you need to do is prepare spare space on your drive, Windows 10/11 or Linux, UEFI support (most if not all hardware for past 10 years has it).
 
I have tweaked images (XFCE, Gnome, Cinnamon) a bit to my personal needs, but making changes is welcome.
 
Nice to have: disk encryption within nand-sata-install, small bug fixing, additional DEs. Currently we have CLI, XFCE, Gnome and Cinnamon. Others are too buggy.

Hello People, I Bring to you the Lemfo HK1 RBOX K8S 4G/64G.
 
This box came with Android 13 and can be rooted easy, follow some specs of the box:
 
Processor: Rockchip RK3528
GPU: Mali 450
Memory: 4Gb (micron)
Storage: 64Gb (eMMC 5.1 Samsung)
Network: PHY Integrated stmmac-0:02 Driver RK630 100Mbps
Wireless: 5G driver: rtl8822cs on gpio
Bluetooth: 5.1
USB 3.0: 01 5Gbps
USB 2.0: 01
HDMI: 01
TV-Out: 01
Power: 5v 2A
Aliexpress link: Lemfo HK1 Rbox K8S 
 
What is Working:
HDMI: partial (read bellow)
Network: partial (read bellow)
Bluetooth: no
Wifi: no
USB 3.0: yes
Sound: yes over HDMI
 
Obs:
You need to use hinlink-ht2 image, but no wireless, nor ethernet, only HDMI work, and you need to turn on monitor around 15 seconds after turn on the TVBox
 
I get the FDT from Android, and this FDT with hilink-ht2 images boot without HDMI, but with network, if you boot with hinlink-ht2 make the initial configs and start the desktop you can replace the rk-3528-hinlink-ht2.dtb with the android FDT and the box will boot, wait around 30 seconds and turn on the monitor and you have the HDMI and network working.
 
I have build the image with xfce and include some drivers (mail450, RK630, rtl8822cs) and enable some DRM options (under test yet)
 
I Have the Andoid boot partition dump, and other partions, I will share the files later (need some dropbox os gdrive to share)
 
I have attached the Android.DTB and dmesg from android and armbian, if someone want take a look.
 
Any help and sugestion will be great!

Hello Everyone!
 
Recently @NicoD has been helping to release some videos on the Armbian community as well he usually keeps up with reviewing and documenting single board computers.
 
This got me thinking it would probably be awesome to have a central place to document Armbian related videos and documentation that exists.
 
I will try to post any good Armbian related channels or videos my self, but I would invite anyone else who would like to contribute to this thread as well! 
 
Are you a creator that loves Armbian and has made some videos about it?? Let us know and share here!
 
To get things started I will include NicoD's most recent videos:
 
 
This video is about an important Armbian community member which if you have been around the forum for any period of time you have probably heard from, or in some cases, had to deal with
 
Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule @Wernerto do the video!
 
Additionally, NicoD has just released a video on the Rock 5b including some benchmarks:
 
NicoD had reached out and asked if he could give the new Rock 5b sample I had received for a  spin, and well... I couldn't say no!  Great job breaking things down NicoD!
 
Well those are the two I will start out with, if this thread takes off I will try and update it with many more videos!
 
If anyone wants to see more pictures of the crafty case I made for the Rock 5b, let me know and I can attach them in this thread
 
Cheers all!

Some more details:
Ethernet is 100 Mbps (hardware). I have been struggling at first with armbian booting to a blank colored screen, with random color (pink, light blue, whatever). Turns out, my power supply cable was faulty and the ground connection was interrupted. This created an awkward situation where the power was circulating through the ground of the HDMI connection. Surprisingly this worked for the first stages of booting but soon would trigger the blank screen (I guess at the loading of the kernel framebuffer). as it should be known by reading the installation guides on the forum, the installation to eMMC must be done with the dedicated script, and not through armbian config; in the latter case, the device will be bricked. Of course I learned that the hard way. In my experience, re-flashing the original firmware via USB did not work, but it worked through the SD card. Hunting down the original Android image can be challenging as most links are dead/expired. I am attaching a `sbc-bench` run.  
The device is slow-ish but possibly usable for light tasks. Still, I think it's amazing I could salvage it, so thanks to the armbian community!

Max Ethernet Speed that works (100/1000): to be verified
Does wifi work (Yes/No): Yes (RTL8189ETV)
Does bluetooth work (Yes/No): No
Does HDMI audio work (Yes/No): Not tested
 
Comments:
- also sold as ABOX-A1 according to online sources;
- installation to MMC worked without issue using the dedicated script.
 

Just for the record...
 
The image file I used to get my S905X3 box running was from this tutorial:
https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0269.html
 
which references this site for the image file:
  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1n6CZa582uJECV3lzQDtFbmbyvmOSiUSg
 
The file is:
    Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_bullseye_current_5.9.0_desktop.img.xz
 
I used the dtb file  "meson-sm1-a95xf3-air.dtb"  from the Stable image referenced in SteeMans post.
 
This at least gets the board running and allows for an upgrade to the Debian Bullseye operating system using the apt-get command.
 
I can't get the current Stable images from the site referred to in SteeMans post here to work:
 
https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus/
 
Also the SHA checksums for these files don't seem to agree with the published value, so it may be there is some problem...
 
 
I hope this helps.
 

You are correct, none of the dtb's I tried from the release worked for me. Maybe I did not try them all!
 
That dtb had been downloaded and used by me about a year ago when I had made another attempt to install Armbian on my box. At the time installation process worked but the actual install was buggy.
 
Anyway I am happy to report that since yesterday's message, I made another attempt at installation and this time there were only minor issues whilst upgrading which were fairly easily resolved. I am sorry I cannot find the notes I took were I had recorded the actual error but I believe it was something about the system not able to register certain upgrades. These were then cleared and I had no further issues. I even went ahead and installed to EMMC with no issues whatsoever so now I don't need the SDcard anymore which I hope will improve the speed a bit as well as reliability. So far no more issues.
 
I have now only one question, given that I am now operating from EMMC, if in the future I would want to install a new upgrade how would I do it? Will installing from SDcard work or would it be sufficient to use the Upgrade Manager or sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade?
 
Thanks.

Hi guys!
People on 4pda say that H96 Max x3, Vontar x3, HK1 Box and Transpeed X3 Air are the same hardware (last three even look the same ). I tried using @root-stas dtb file and it worked on Vontar x3. So I suggest to change topic name to include other boxes names - maybe that will gather more people in this thread. As of me expect known bugs my device can not detect all resolutions over HDMI. I have 1440p 75 Hz monitor and Armbian can detect only resolutions up to 1080p at 60 Hz. I'm experiencing color shifts as well. Most looks about right but grays are shifted towards yellowish red. If somebody is competent here enough to tell if these are device specific bugs or SoC/Armbian related please tell me so I can report it in right thread.

Here are modes detected on TV Box:

 
And here are modes detected on my laptop with Intel graphics running Ubuntu:

Here is color shift example:

Thanks. But the newer version of the images  don't follow  same instructions and u-boot.ext was not working for me. So I started looking for the older image files

That worked perfectly for me. I have installed  it in eMMC and working great. Currently using  it as a headless server for my home network with Adguard and samba  server with External  HDD. USB 3.0 and  Gigabit Ethernet are working great.

The same story with Armbian on SD or USB. How to fix it?

Does anyone know what is the real specs of this board. I try to boot armbian in pendrive into it but it always boot to the android system or in recovery.  I try the different device tree but it always the same result. 
 
 

SOLVED !!
I have try using dtb for p281 and it's work right now, i search on google that p271 architecture is same with p281
Download armbian s9xx on here
I have use dtb file name is meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb on /dtb/amlogic
By following this step : 
Now it's work now

Thanks @SteeMan and @root-stas for your great support (without forgotten @balbes150 for his great job on Armbian)
 
Today's news:
1. I have burnt the version Armbian_20.05.4_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.7.0-rc6_20200518.img on the SD card with Etcher
2.  Copy u-boot.sd to u-boot.ext (impossible to boot on the SD card without this)
3. Modify uEnv.txt to choose meson-g12a-x96-max-no-cvbs DTB file in amlogic section:
4.  Boot on the SD card (with toothpick method because impossible with android update method due to error like this)
5.  Define root password and create user session
6. Force the Ethernet speed to 100Mb
sudo ethtool –s [device_name] speed 100 duplex full autoneg on 7. Now, I can use putty from another device to be connected on the TV Box !!!! 
 
 
Next step is to copy this configuration on the eMMC. So, I'm waiting your instructions to be sure that I can use this method:
cd /boot sudo cp u-boot.ext u-boot.sd cd sudo /root/install-aml.sh  

@Lotus09 I just made a video about gaming on RK3588.
Here my Mekotronics review video :
More video's on my channel about gaming on RK3588. It doesn't play every game, but enough to have a good time.
