I used Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.13.0-next-20170908_mate.img.xz I've now progressed to Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img.xz but per your comment above, cannot find any KODI included ie. type kodi in the command line, it is not recognised. When you say that KODI is already built in desktop images, are you only referring to 3.14.29 based?

X96 S905X A95X S905X Balbes150 - Your fine (& probably very time consuming) work to productise these boxes to mainline standard is much appreciated! Some humble comments/questions from someone not from a deep coding background: - I used your 20170908 image together with a re-compiled kernel successfully to support a custom HDMI output for a non-standard monitor. I did this by editing GPU/Meson HDMI enc driver and EDID definition in the kernel source to define the custom mode. I tweaked the monitor modeline parameters slightly in order to use an existing defined clock rate (148.5). - Xrandr commands (new mode, add mode, output) all OK to bring the display into operation. Rotate function works as well (however the video player shows tearing/frame buffering in rotated mode). This is a huge improvement on the legacy kernel where > 10 files need to be changed for a custom HDMI setting, so full credit to Baylibre. - To enable Wifi and BT...if the appropriate kernel config parameters are enabled for the hardware, I assume these functions will work? Will they show up in Armbian mate menu, or do they need to be enabled with console? - You mention that the latest image supports Kodi. However when I installed it using basic instructions for Kodi Linux, I ended up with a v15 version which consumed all the CPU and operated in slow motion. When I tried to apply the upgrade instructions, an error relating to kodi.bin results. Am I missing something?

Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.13.0-next-20170908_mate.img.xz successfully boots into a green textured mate on my X96 (1+16) box. USB wired mouse and USB keyboard both work fine. I can play the movie and access folders but little else. The settings file (config) opens but there are few options, and I have not discovered how to access the console or enable wifi yet. I assume HDMI is working at 720p. Have not checked audio. Am using the A95x dtb file.
