Only the latter. Changing root's password and creating a user account has been compulsory for quite a while now on first boot.

Update. Version 20170808. The main change is the updated function of installation to the internal memory and replaced the script nand_sata_install a link to the installation script /root/install.sh. Now you can install using two commands : 
 
/root/install.sh 
 
or
 
nand_sata_install.

Update images 20170803.
Added support for remote control. To use it you need to add the correct file "remote.conf" in the /boot directory or /etc/amremote. By default, a part of the image includes several predefined files (in the /boot directory). To use it you need to rename one of the files in "remote.conf". Additionally uploaded the site to the directory the deb package "amremote.deb" , which can be installed in the old system (do not download the whole image). After installing this package you need to run service "amlogic-remotecfg" and add (rename) the correct file 'remote.conf".

Version 20170705. Changed algorithm activation HDMI. It now runs in two stages. Pay attention, changed the kernel image to be installed in the internal memory. In the image name removed KODI, as all desktop images by default with KODI.

Image update Mate\XFCE+KODI 20170630 (bug fixes). For those who already have images 20170628 you can only refresh the kodi package (download from the directory the deb on the website and install via "dpkg -i"

As far as I know, Alsa is not able to output sound via BT. So Pulseaudio is part of my images.

Image update Mate\XFCE+KODI 20170628. Updated libs. Now has less to hang.

Hi Nofan Tasi
Kernel use of the former. I added the library and the driver for the FB and setings  .

A test image of Ubuntu Mate KODI. It's a predefined way. The user "user" password to "1". The user "root" password "root". Launch KODI should run as root user (open a console and execute "su -" enter passwd root "kodi"). This version of KODI normally plays full-screen video. After leaving their KODI the screen remains black, you need to switch to another console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and switch back (Ctrl+Alt+F7).

Dont know anything. That's why i asked. And as I know s912 supports x265 encoding by hw.

Balbes150, I've got Linux 4.12.0-rc5 running on an Amlogic S905X based P212 device with your Arch image.
 
Next is the Mali kernel driver.

1. Button makes the built-in bootloader (u-boot) in the first place to look for on an external storage medium a file (aml_autoscript). If it is, go to it aml_autoscript. If there is no such file, the loader starts the built-in recovery mode. In theory, you could write your own version aml_autoscript that will load from external media new u-boot and will give him control. But it requires a good knowledge of the structure of u-boot (source code for your specific model) and the availability of special commands for the complete transfer of control the new u-boot on an external drive.
2. If you need to boot from external media (without making any changes multi-boot) you can rename the script s905_autoscript in aml_autoscript and pressing the button will immediately run the script to start the system from external media. In this embodiment, for system start up from external media will need to click when you enable this button.

1. All versions with kernel 4.x is intended for testing or experimental users (they have a lot not working).
2. ArchLinux from my site is the minimal (console) images for self-fulfillment. They have no graphics.
3. All images Armbian (Ubuntu\Debian) when you first enter the user "root" with password "1234".
In the image of ArchLinux user "root" and password "root".
In the image openSUSE user "root" password is "linux".

Yes, you can use this config.

Hi Marc.
S905 works well for the main kernel 4.11\4.12 (and thus the images collected on these branches, in such images as the title indicated 4.11). It has support for USB to S905 and running HDMI and wired network.
They have the opportunity to use MALI.

The new version of images Armbian (Test\20170519) kernel 4.9.26 models S905X and S912. In these images works HDMI USB network.

Yes, this is the right part. To successfully run this image only need three files. It is used packed in the old format a kernel without Initrd. So configured Yocto build environment that would compile a kernel without Initrd. I have not yet figured out how can in this environment to change, is to collect a full set of files.
 
Pay attention to run this image in the TV console must be activated multiboot with other images Armbian.
That is to use the floss, you can try to rename the script s905_autoscript in aml_autoscript. But I this option is not checked.
The kernel used in this image is the version next-20170502 from git this with my modified config.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/

Gathered test a system image using the kernel 4.11 and GUI SATO. As the source code use GIT meta-meson (Neil Armstrong). To use the TV box must be already activated multiupload.
1. Download
2. Unpack
3. Burn image on SD card
4. To add to the recorded media dtb file from the site (with the name "dtb.img").
Pay attention while you can only use two files (for the two platforms), which is on the site next to the image. The dtb files included in the image don't work. Additionally you need to download and copy to the media script s905_autoscript. On the platform s905X not working USB, so you can only manage via SSH or the console UART. On the platform s905 (tested on Vega S95) has one port USB\otg (on the Vega models it's near the SD card), which can connect either the mouse or the keyboard, or you can burn the image to a USB flash drive and use the flash drive as a carrier (when all control is only possible through SSH or the UART conosle). Pay attention after burning the image and running the system will NOT automatically expand the partition to the entire media, it must be done manually on the PC. The root password is missing when you login to terminal from login. Wired network works on both platforms (s905 and s905x). When you start the graphic shell SATO perhaps from its damping, as will be brought down hours, you must reboot (WITHOUT turning off) , or activate the mouse.

Added a new image test\20170423 kernel 4.11 (a link to the discussion of the kernel on the forum Khadas VIM).
 
http://forum.khadas.com/t/state-of-linux-mainline-opengl-on-s905x/497/13
 
It has an output on the monitor. Pay attention that s905x USB not working yet, so the picture is there, but mouse and keyboard do not work, can only be controlled via ssh or UART and the launch is possible only with SD card. When choosing dtb recommend to check all the options files (for your platform). S905 works on USB so you can run a full desktop with mouse and keyboard and USB drives. Details and other images will come later (as long as there is Assembly, testing and loading).

Image update 20170421.
 
Added to the library libMali (for fbdev). Please check the Firefox browser with file playback at resolution of 1080p. I have to check we have an odd situation, tried full screen youtube videos , like playable, but only if choose the 720p (screen resolution is set to 1080p). The temperature in armbianmonitor shows about 50 Degrees. I'm not well versed in matters of videoscoralie. I'm not clear whether acceleration is working, whether this effect is from something else. For work acceleration in the video (mpv vlc etc) it is necessary to recompile with support for Mali r5p1-01rel0 . I have not yet figured out how this is done in Ubuntu (something to build the package). I would be very grateful if you could drop links to instructions on how to do it.

I found a video which offers a 1080p
 
 

- I have collected some patches for the KVIM, but all of them have been merged into mainline, so no patches regarded to the KVIM.
- This is the patchset for the C2, mostly related to reliable ethernet operations, USB and cpufreq support.
- I've started to edit a common kernel config for both the ODROID-C2 and the Khadas VIM
 
That's all, the rest of the patches are related to freescale/nxp imx6 devices, like the CuBox-i and the Utilite.

Thanks, I will check the use of these patches.
 
test image server 20170414.

I looked at Your kernel sources, but there's a lot of changes to my branch. You can specify which patches imposed on the source ? I want to try to compare the behavior of the kernel (with the patches and without them) when working with the network.

Update test images  kernel 4.11.0 (20170412). They have added modules for WiFi networks and many other elements. An important feature of primary configuration is possible only through the SSH connection. Network support is based on modules, so it is important when building your kernel to assure that the name of the directory with the modules , the name of the kernel.
