Here the error in dmesg:

Any one uses Armbian with swap partition? I am having problem with swap , when ram its at 60% , swap activates but the kernel gives error and freeze the system. And I have to unplug the box. Its normal? This kernel don't work with swap? Thanks!

Someone have found how use Mali and UMP drivers for accelerate something in Armbian Linux? Its a possibility? Odroid C1 use same processor and have acceleration! I dont find any 2d or 3d acceleration information for this s805 tv boxes. Even the Video play acceleration not have development.

Do you have success with S805 using 4.18 kernel ? How?

I use the dtb from my MXV box android OS . and all works. You post the "meson8mediamanv2.dts" used by android . Right? and that dts dont have the gpioao_5 on the usb part? Also like I said , your android dts file boot my device but with other kernel , so here is the kernel : https://mega.nz/#!VSYF1aLI!OvuLNW1Lg1YH5S0UY33vCPyGaWs0Ac90D4m_t-V940g

My MXV comes with wifi inside . With your posted dtb file I cant only use 3 of the usb , the OTG not active. You use Ubuntu Mate ... with what dtb file?

I use your dts compiled to dtb and my box and boot, but off course no wifi and only 3of the 4 usb working. One thing I use the kernel 3.10.61 . I dont know is that could make the difference??

My box use the gpioao_5 usb bus and I use the attached dtb and all the usb works. Remove .txt and test it! meson8b_mxv-u-j.dtb.txt

I use regulary the one comes with the android installed on my box "meson8b_mxv.dtb". Works also with "meson8b_hd180.dtb" . I talking about kernel 3.10... Check the image below and let me know what color of the rectangle is the one with the uart connections? I had been searching and raspi can be use for see the uarts outputs.

I dont have connected and dont have usb cable . I only have computer with serial rs232 and raspi 1. But this my only tv box so I want to see more development. What specific things I need to connect and beging to test?

Where do you upload the image with the mali X11 ?? I want to test it!

Any change on the kernel? expecialy the " amenc memory error " that I mention before? Any plans for video player with hardware accelerate? like odroid c2play or buildroot bootplayer or kplayer ? I test the bootplayer in the buildroot img and works with audio. But in armbian plays but no audio. Thanks for the images!

balbes150 or other dev... I use the xenial version , the last one . Problem with mono audio of video files plays bad , like fastfoard and sound weird like cartoons voices. I try it on mpv and ffplay both same result. I know that mono audio sounds fine with this device beacause with libreelec sound right. Where I need to start?

balbes150: I know that you don't activate this on the kernel but the error is in both version , original kernel (not activate) and my customize activate amvenc version. I test the last 3.41 and almost all work fine but I need to resolve this: [ 7.016148] amvenc_avc memory resource undefined. [ 7.020853] amvenc_avc memory is invaild, probe fail! [ 7.025528] amvenc_avc: probe of amvenc_avc.0 failed with error -14 I had test all the dtbs that work on my device but don't resolve the error! How?

I am also testing , I am not expert in this things . Here is the source of kernel: https://github.com/kszaq/linux-amlogic/releases/download/3.10-6f2ca61/linux-amlogic-3.10-6f2ca61.tar.xz Config file its attached , was from Balbes original config-3.10.33 with some changes. Others kernels that I had test it and work at least boot... https://github.com/codesnake/linux-amlogic-old/releases/download/3.10-16a1118/linux-amlogic-3.10-16a1118.tar.xz --3.10.61 https://github.com/arco/linux-amlogic/releases/tag/3.10-9263fa9 --3.10.105 If you install all in sdcard , for me ( maybe because its cheap card) but give errors ( input/output , ro ) and sometimes takes more time in the screen off and the on at the boot. 3.10.61.config

I use the extracted Android dtb file modify to work with linux kernel . You can use meson8b_m201d.dtb you posted, renamed to dtb.img . not the dtd . Also you only reset once . If run LE reset for LE . if run Armbian reset once for ... For me the process is device default logo then screen goes off and them on and all the linux start info. Here is other kernel test it: https://mega.nz/#!VSYF1aLI!OvuLNW1Lg1YH5S0UY33vCPyGaWs0Ac90D4m_t-V940g

Link of other kernel alternative that work for my box . Test it ! Maybe its the same problem that I have with the original kernel. Its just for test , only one wifi mod. https://mega.nz/#!0ORWWJ4A!N9aBjhHgXU2mTzk3jneBHWmRgWrZWOBmjUnZEJB1BpU

ok , Could you explain more detail ? Mali module where ? libMali ?

Balbes or someone that could hw encode with this S805 armbian versions? knows how

I wait 10 min maybe more. But I think it freeze or stay waiting for something ... I connect to hdmi of TV. ( I was trying to use hdmi to dvi adapter for monitor , only alexelec and lakka works . But right now I just want to see linux working... so, for later... ) ___________________________ I can only see the amlogic logo and noting else . I test all the dtb included on your folders . the most similar dtb to my tv box model its the "m201_1G_old" but not the same. And perform difference . Some dtb poweroff tho red led the box and other the display turn off but blue led stays. I attach the dts of the MXV box and that one as dtb , the blue led stays on. But nothing more ... Let me know what could I do ?? I post all the attachments on freaktab also . meson8_mxv.dts.txt

Hi balbes150 , This the case : Tv box name : MXV S805 Smart Media Box ( 1gb ram and TF card , Power Button on top and Reset Button on bottom ) I had test : http://kszaq.libreelec.tv/s805/8.0.2e/LibreELEC-S805.arm-8.0-8.0.2e-HD18Q.img.gz https://github.com/AlexELEC/AlexELEC-AML/releases/download/2.2.8/AlexELEC-S805.MXQ_V20.arm-2.2.8.img.gz Both work fine . No Bluetooth but maybe are like that or have to learn how enable??? The real thing is that I want to use Linux and I had test : Armbian_5.27_S805_Debian_jessie_3.10.33_xfce_20170324.img.xz Armbian_5.27_S805_Ubuntu_xenial_3.10.33_server_20170324.img.xz I dd the image to microSD ( Something I found , the BOOT partition have not boot flags , I added with gparted ) and do the reset start and the screen show S805 logo them ... poweroff. Begin the dtb files testing get one from folder dtb-3.10.33 paste in the main BOOT partition and renamed dtb.img . But always the same boots logo and them poweroff . And the logo shows only on the Xenial-server image , Jessie-xfce not show... If you could help me and others that have same box?? Thanks! for the codes!

Are this box "RIKOMAGIC MK05 S805 box " could use linux armbian or ubuntu or some linux , full like others MXQ boxes ?? Here I find it here http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Rikomagc-RKM-MK05-Android-Mini-PC-Amlogic-S805-1G-RAM-8G-ROM-1080P-H-265-Hardware-Decode-WIFI-Bluetooth-Miracast-DLNA---Black-339967.html

martinayotte , Is this " orange pi one allwinner" better for video convert , encode , transcode , or things related to fast ffmpeg performance ? or other boards, tv boxes with amlogic or rockship are faster in those tasks??

ok { ffmpeg -t 60 -i ./"input-video" -r 7 -f image2pipe -vcodec bmp ./imgage-%d.bmp } code goes on 40 fps !! thats fast !! and How fast goes the inverse { ffmpeg -framerate 7 -i ./image-%d.bmp -pix_fmt yuv420p ./out-video.mp4 } with the modification of the encoder "I don't know"?

2 fps that's more fast than rpi1 but ... What other board will be better doing this pipe code??
