New image ver 5.82 S9xxx and Odroid N2

Pay attention. To properly boot the system to SD card on Odroid N2 you need to switch the startup u-boot was installed on SD\eMMC. (that is, the position that is used in the release of equipment from the plant).

Good news.
Build the first version of Armbian for TV box x96 max (S905X2).
While not working, sound via HDMI, WiFi. Test images on the site in the catalog S905X2.

Update image 20190401 and NEXT kernel

Uploaded to the site fixed version 5.72 for S905. Now in the kernel 4.20 has gxbb (S905) work sound HDMI. Additionally fixed DTB from Tronsmart Vega S95 (Pro Meta Telos). Now these files work.
 
To the right of the button "Raw" View" etc
 
 

add 5.72 NEXT kernel 5.0 for s9xxx

If everything works at 5.0, there's no point in dropping to 4.20.

The new version 5.71 20190118.
Updated kernel to 4.20.2.

Ver 20181228 (kernel 4.19)

For anyone who makes changes to the kernel, I recommend that you make sure to write about it on the mailing list so that these fixes are included in the official version of the kernel.

Update ver 5.67 20181128
Update kernel 4.19.2
 
Update ver Next 20181128 kernel 4.20

I've definitely set it in sdcard's extlinux/extlinux.conf and install-2018.sh should be copying files from sdcard. And if uboot install is ok it should try sdcard first (this how it works with stock uboot). But in my case LED screen stayed off, no boot with sdcard inserted.
Maybe I'll give it another try later, now it is much easier when I know that it can be revived any time.
 
UPDATE:
After reflashing with stock image and u-boot box boots without sdcard inserted into system installed with install.sh. No need to install u-boot 2018.

Install Armbian to eMMC.
1. Be sure to activate multi-boot using the new image. If multiboot previously activated is required to repeat activation using files in a new image.
2. Run Armbian from external media, run "ddbr" and create full backup eMMC.
3. Execute script “/boot/create-mbr-linux.sh”
3.  install Armbian on eMMC execute script “/root/install.sh”.
 
Please note, this is a test installation, which was tested only on a few models. Possible errors (Armbian will not boot) when you are working on unverified models which used non-standard distribution of partitions in the eMMC. Therefore, be sure to back up the "ddbr" utility before running the scripts.

Version 20181113.
Expanded the list of modules for wifi.

I got my EDGE this weekend. And in the coming days plans to start assembling and testing Armbian for Khadas EDGE.
 
By the way, according to Robert, this model plays well videos up to 4K on Ubuntu from Youtube.

Update Ver 20181112

Unfortunately, install-2018.sh with s912-uboot.img made my Tanix TX9 Pro unbootable. Luckily successfully recovered with Amlogic USB Burning Tool. Maybe this u-boot image is only for VIM2 boxes.

what I did on VIM2 was
[when booted Armbian_5.64_Aml-s9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.19.0-rc7_desktop_20181019 from SD]:
- in /boot/ copy s912-uboot.img to uboot.img
- in /root/ run install-2018.sh
perhaps not for faint of heart but it worked for me.
 

The new version 20180928.
Major change. A new algorithm for the use of the dtb. Starting with this version, you no longer need to copy the dtb files and rename it to "dtb.img." In order to specify which dtb file to use, you need to edit the file 'uEnv.ini" (specify the desired file name for use dtb). This is a plain text file and can be easily edited. This change will make it easy to update the kernel from the "deb" file in the future. The new algorithm is now used in the eMMC system installation script.
 
Pay attention. To use the system with
u-boot-2015 (regular firmware Android), you need to edit the file "uEnv.ini"
 
When using
u-boot-2018, you need to edit the file "/extlinux/extlinux.conf"
 
 
For those who doubt or do not know what u-boot is used, you can specify the desired name in both files at the same time.

Good news. I tried installing the latest version of Armbian on VIM with the new u-boot-2018 in eMMC. Everything works. If write a last option Armbian (20180925) to the USB drive, the system starts from USB stick. That is, now you can have a new u-boot-2018 in eMMC and run any test system from USB media (Armbian Libreelec OpenSYSE etc ). Pay attention. The steps to configure the system to run from external media using u-boot-2018 have changed. Now you do NOT NEED to manually copy the dtb. You need to make changes to the text file “/extlinux/extlinux.conf”  . You must change the string with the name of the dtb you are using. The list of available files (name) can be seen in the "/dtb" directory. By default, the settings specify dtb for VIM1 (S905X). To use the new images with VIM2 (S912), you must correct the file name dtb for VIM2.
To install in the eMMC the latest version Armbian changed steps. Now you need to run only one installation script. To install with the old version of u-boot-2015, you need to run the script “/root/install.sh”. To install in the eMMC with uboot-2018, you need to first rename one of the existing files on the media "Sxxx-uboot.img" to “uboot.img” (select the option for your model). After renaming the file “uboot.img”, to install Armbian in eMMC, you need to run the script “/root/install-2018.sh”.
 
 
Pay attention. All tests of the new u-boot-2018 are performed on Khadas VIM and VIM2. I don't know how it will work on other models. Therefore installation in eMMC with replacement of regular u-boot on u-boot-2018, you do your own risk. I take no responsibility for your choices.

New images 5.60 (20180922).
Update kernel to 4.18.7.
Add new kernel deb packages.

New images 5.60 (20180921).
The kernel is not changed, all the changes equal a formal change in the transition Armbian 5.59->5.60.

Perhaps this information will be useful for potential Armbian users. I was sent a sample with RK3399.

And you have the opportunity to influence (Express your opinion and suggestions) on the form in which these products can be produced.
 

New version 20180829.
A fixed package with firmware for legacy images. It must be installed with the command
https://yadi.sk/d/tNM7NdyB3afohU
sudo dpkg -I
If there are errors when installing this package, you must remove the packages that prevent it from being installed.

Is version 5.55 (20180819) version 5.59 (20180820). Small fix.
