Hi all,
I got a s805 box from my wife's cousin. He bought it ridiculously cheap here: https://www.olx.pl/d/oferta/tv-box-przystawka-do-telewizora-CID99-ID10w7q1.html
The power adapter broke after a few hours, so he let me take it. I got a new adapter and had some play with the box.
The box seems to be an MXQ clone. The software is probably a direct copy, with only the boot logo replaced.
Data extracted from the factory software:
model: m201
Android: 4.4.2
Build number: KOT49H.20160507 test-keys
Kernel version: 3.10.33

I was able to boot onecloud and odroidc1 images. The `s805_autoscript` script is missing in the builds, so I had to manually instruct (through UART) U-BOOT to load kernel from the SD card. The odroidc1 worked a little better in that there was HDMI output.
To make this a little more robust, I forked the build repository and added a separate board and a boot script for it. I copied odroid's fixes for HDMI to dtb for this board. I did not test boot from other devices than SD card, but in theory USB should work, too.
here is a branch: https://github.com/domin144/armbian-build/tree/mxq
this commit was tested to work: https://github.com/domin144/armbian-build/commit/bce6f677e0a6a3dd0ee4ce1fdc4cee8befcdd0b8
This is not of pull request quality, but will hopefully give someone a better starting point.
HDMI output was working
