Can someone please point me to where I can download a replacement uboot for the A5X Max+ tv-box that boots from SD-card? I seem to remember that Hecdump made one but I'm unable to find it... TIA

Not to hijack the thread but I have a similar problem on a beelink X2 of older model. When I install the Enlightment desktop everything seems fine, the desktop works, I install a few applications and update the system and on next reboot the graphic screen just goes black. The consoles works fine. Lightdm is running, what else to look for?

Sorry I don't have any old S8xxx images but I think you could try one of these images https://armbian.com/boards/aml-s805-mxq I don't think your extracted DTB file will work with Armbian, you'll have to pick one from the dtb's that come with the image. Let me say that 500MB ram sounds a little, but maybe it'll work. There are also some AML 9xx imager that may work here https://armbian.com/boards/aml-s9xx-box aml_autoscript.zip

You can run Armbian just fine only from SD card, I do that on a Beelink box, you do not NEED emmc to work. Did you get picture on the monitor?

Has anyone been able to use the remote control that comes with the tv bos under Armbian? Does it reqire additional driver(s)? I want to run Kodi (or any better mediacenter) under Armbian.
