Hello, this is my first message here: I want to thank the community for the work done so far, and for allowing to keep functional old devices which would otherwise become (nasty) garbage.
Now, I tried to install Armbian on a Wetek Play 2 (Amlogic S905), buit now the box is not booting. I would be grateful if I could get some help, or at least clarification about what happened. Here is what I did so far:
Download the image `Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.493_Aml-s9xx-box_trixie_current_6.18.13_minimal.img.xz`, and write it on a SD card.
Boot from the SD card, by holding the power button when inserting the power cable. The box booted fine.
Log in via SSH, and configure the installation.
Back-up the full emmc with `dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/mnt/backup/wetek_play2_android_emmc.img bs=4M`. The emmc had the original Android system (with more stuff installed, but I guess the most important part are the first 4 MB...)
Run the `/root/install-aml` script.
Power-off
When powering on again, the box did not boot. I tried to boot from SD by holding the power button, but it did not work. So at this point my questions are:
What can I do to recover the situation?
What did I made wrong?
As additional context, in the past I had also successfully booted LibreELEC from SD, although the last boot before switching to Armbian was to Android.
Thanks for your help
UPDATE: OK, I think I found the culprit: I overseen the quite important statement "Note: It is not possible to install into emmc on boxes with the s905 cpu". Great.
