    ARMBIAN for Amlogic S905 and S905X (ver 5.44 =<)

    in General Chat

    Posted

    @jan.pal ,hello I'm a newbie and probably asking silly questions. I have the same x96 tv box as You and I can not boot ubuntu image.Can You please explain what do I need to do to boot linux on this board?

    sorry.. i am not here often and I dont like the ubuntu much but anyway, i have used the toothpick method. 

    1) download the image

    2) burn to usb key ( i have used sd card wuth adapter)

    3) put the key into white usb slot

    4) there is a button inside AV conector press and hold the button

    5) power on device and wait few seconds, x96 logo will appear, keep holding the button, logo blinks once or twice and you will realize that initial animation did not start

    6) release the button

    7) wait armbian to boot

    just tested latest armbian image Armbian_5.24_Amlogic-s905x_Debian_jessie_3.14.29_20161223.img.xz on my x96 tv box (s905x)

    1) first boot, loging under root and creatig new user account is ok 

    2) After reboot the screen resolution is strange, i can see two columns of text next to each other.

     

    Any idea on how to fix screen resolution change after second boot?  Can i change it to mode which is being used in first boot?

    SSH works well so i can change some configs remotely if that would solve the problem....

    I guess you can always mount manually, say:

     

    # mkdir /mnt/data /mnt/system
# mount /dev/data /mnt/data
# mount /dev/system /mnt/system
 ...
# umount /mnt/system /mnt/data
    In the armbian_debian the device /dev/data does not exist so i can not mount. While on desktop version device exists. Am i missing driver or configuration?

    guys, i am getting bit crazy.

    1) the latest , armbian_debian works great but can not mount internal filesystem

    2) armbian_debian with manually installed xfce can not mount internal filesystem 

    3) armbian_debian_desktop can mount internal file system but ethernet does not work, which is showstopper for me

    armbian_debian_desktop has /dev/system and /dev/data which are devices for mounting internal storage

    but those devices  does not exists on armbian_debian without desktop...

     

    Any hint how to make the /dev/system and /dev/data appear on armbian withou desktop?

    Am i missing some drivers?

    Thanks for your help...

    Still useful information for users. If the internal memory of the TV set-top box on the basis of S905 installed version is 007 or 008 (which use the new dtb format) , you can use the latest images (20161030) without manually copying dtb to the root FAT partition . Need dtb data is taken automatically from the internal memory. Ie, immediately after recording the image, it is possible to use a TV box without additional manual operations to copy the dtb file (same as version S905X).

     

    hi balbes159, your image runs me out of box, without copying the dtb to boot partition. so i understand dtb file is taken from intenal device memory..

     

    How did you get there? My Armbian can not see Android file system.

    this is my list of block devices for illustration:

     
    root@amlogic-s905x:/dev/block# lsblk
    NAME         MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
    sda            8:0    1  7.4G  0 disk
    ├─sda1         8:1    1   64M  0 part /boot
    └─sda2         8:2    1  7.2G  0 part /
    mmcblk0rpmb  179:96   0  512K  0 disk
    mmcblk0boot0 179:32   0    4M  0 disk
    mmcblk0boot1 179:64   0    4M  0 disk
    mmcblk0      179:0    0  7.3G  0 disk
     
    none of mmcblk* devices has a mountable filesystem.
     
    if i check Android fstab it is mounting /dev/block/system, /dev/block/data, ...
    Any hint to mount Android internal memory/filesystem to Armbian?
     
    Thanks

    Primary start Armbian consists of two stages. When you first start the system you will need to wait for the automatic reboot. In the first stage, expands the root partition and run pre-primary settings. After the system reboot, and will then prompt for a login, then you can enter the username and password of the root user.

    Thanks. I red the guide and also forums so i am aware that i have to wait for auto reboot. Unfortunatelly, i got this error after auto reboot. I even wait for 15 minutes but it does not help :(

    1. From copy the working  of the image LE (that You normally run) file "dtb.img" on the media where the recorded Armbian. Try to start the system with this file.

    2. If the system fails to start, You need to try, one at a time, copy the existing FAT partition in the directory /dtb compatible files. And check with them the launch of Armbian. You can try the dtb files that are on the site KSZAQ.

    3. In the image Armbian, by default (immediately after recording the image to media), there is no dtb file. The autorun script system is set up so that if there is no file, it tries to load from the internal memory. The first run you can try without the dtb file, if the system is to start, then embedded file (from internal memory) suitable for Armbian. If the system fails to start, you need to add the dtb file manually (choosing such that the system can work normally).

     

    Hi,

     

    now i can boot armbian... but can not login what is the login and passwd? 

     

    i tried Armbian_5.24_Amlogic-s905x_Debian_jessie_3.14.29_20161028.img and Armbian_5.24_Amlogic-s905x_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_20161028.img 

     

     

    Thanks

    Hi. What dtb file are You using ?

     

    Hi,

     

    my dtb.img is comming with this image: http://kszaq.libreelec.tv/s905/7.0.2.007/LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0.2.007.img.gz

    this guide says that for s905x i should keep the dtb.img unchanged. for other devices i should find my dtb file here: http://kszaq.libreelec.tv/s905/7.0.2.008/device_trees/

    rename it to dtb.img and copy to BOOT partition of the image file.....

     

    I have noticed there is no dtb.img in armbian image and i failed to understand how corresponding dtb file is loaded. Is there any guide how booting with dtb files works on Armbian?

     

    Thanks

    hi all,

     

    this is newbie question... sorry for this...

    I have a  X96 tv box which is Amlogic S905X + Mali 450MP GPU device. Would love to have working armbian .

    I was able to run Libreelec. Supprisingly, it works  well, however,  Armbian_5.24_Amlogic-s905x_Debian_jessie_3.14.29_20161028.img will end in boot loop.

    Libreelec contains dtd.img, which apparently differs from armbian  structure. I suppose, dtd should be a key for running kernel on  particular device.

    Any hint how should i proceed to make armbian working?

    My device is rooted s i can get some usefull data from android if that would help.

     

    Thanks.
