Hello. I'm trying to run Armbian on an Acemak KII TV box (Amlogic S812 processor). From the page https://armbian.com/boards/aml-s805-mxq I downloaded the Armbian image Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.792_Aml-s805-mxq_trixie_current_6.12.28_minimal.img Using Win32DiskImager, I burned the Armbian image to a MicroSD card. In the armbianEnv.txt file, in the dtb_file line, I specified the path: dtb_file=/dtb/meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dtb I inserted the MicroSD card into the TV box. The TV box boots, Ethernet works, but there is no HDMI signal on the monitor. I tried specifying different dtb file variants in armbianEnv.txt. I found that if I specify the path dtb_file=/dtb/ meson8b-mxq.dtb , HDMI works (the console is displayed), but Ethernet doesn't. I decompiled the meson8b-mxq.dtb and meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dtb files, but I can't combine the files so that both Ethernet and HDMI work. I've attached the decompiled files. Please help me prepare a combined .dtb file meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts meson8b-mxq.dts

Hello. I'm running Armbian on a Ugoos AM3 TV box. I downloaded the Armbian_26.05.0_amlogic_s912_bookworm_6.18.20_server_2026.04.01.img.gz image from https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases/download/Armbian_bookworm_arm64_server_2026.04/ Armbian_26.05.0_amlogic_s912_bookworm_6.18.20_server_2026.04.01.img.gz I'm using an 8GB USB flash drive. I formatted the flash drive to FAT32. I burned the image to the flash drive using Win32 Disk Imager. After burning the image, I found the u-boot-s905x-s912.bin file in the root directory of the flash drive and renamed it to u-boot.ext. In the /dtb/amlogic/ directory, I found the meson-gxm-ugoos-am3.dtb file and edited the path in the extlinux/extlinux.conf file in the FDT line. The resulting line was: FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxm-ugoos-am3.dtb I connected a monitor via HDMI to the TV box, a network via Ethernet, a USB keyboard, and inserted a USB flash drive into the TV box. Armbian loaded normally. I followed the steps to create a user and install locales. No network setup messages appeared during setup. After setup and booting, I ran the command as the user ip a I saw that the TV Box hadn't received an IP address. I tried running the command sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager , but the IP address didn't appear. I turned off the TV Box using the command sudo poweroff. I disconnected the USB flash drive and booted into the TV Box in Android (I'm using a slimBox). I checked the network in Android—both Ethernet and WiFi were working. I switched the WiFi status in Android to off, and then re-enabled the WiFi. I inserted the USB flash drive with Armbian into the TV Box and booted into Armbian—the Ethernet network was working. I tried shutting down the system using the command sudo poweroff. I disconnected the TV Box from the power supply. After that, I booted the TV Box into Armbian again—both Ethernet and WiFi were still not working. If I re-enable the network in Android, the Ethernet will work again until the power is cut off. I tried using the dtb files meson-gxm-q201.dtb and meson-gxm-q200.dtb, but the Ethernet also doesn't work after a power outage. My TV box uses an LTM8830 WiFi module and an Amlogic S912 ARM Cortex-A53 processor. RAM is 2 GB.
