THIS IS DEV. No Support.
Tools: 7zip (unpack Balbes FIles form Yandisk), Etcher (Burn unpacked Image to SD Card)
Hardware: Orbsmart RX-1 , min. 8GB (Micro)SD Card, (Micro)SDCard Reader
1. go to url: https://yadi.sk/d/srrtn6kpnsKz2/Linux/ARMBIAN/Test
2. Download Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img.xz
3. Download & Install 7 Zip : http://7-zip.org/download.html
4. Extract with 7zip: Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img.xz C:\temp (Create Folder if needed)
5. Now you have: Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img
6. Download & Install & Run Etcher: https://etcher.io/ (Ir Win32 DiskImager ..or another DiskImagining tool or use dd in linux)
7. Put your SD Card into the PC and Flash (With Etcher) the Micro-SD Card with the Armbian_5.32_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate.img
8. Safely Remove and then put your SD card back
9. Watch this Tutorial from Min 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0Sdu9pTMs4&feature=youtu.be&t=2m
10. Instead od using meson_gxbb_201.dtb in the video use meson-gxbb-vega-s95-telos.dtb from the dtb_4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929_mate folder.
11. copy meson-gxbb-vega-s95-telos.dtb into the root folder of your SD Card [BOOT] and safely remove the drive from Windows 10.
12. Put Micro SD Card to your Orbsmart RX-01 aka / Vensmile U1 / aka Unuiga U1
13. Orbsmart RX-01 should again start to Remix OS 2.0 [If not it should start Armbian now :D]
14. Download via Goole Play Store "APK Manager"
15. Make Orbsmart RX-01 boot from SD Card : Download http://update-backup.apk.black/ and install it via APK Manager
16. Open now this "Update&Backup" APP in REMIX OS on the Orbsmart RX-01
17. Install aml_autoscript.zip which is on the SDCard - THAT should make the machine boot from SD Card
18. Power it on - et voila! It should work!
Additionals:
Make Wifi work (in Linux):
1. wget https://forum.armbian.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=1879
or copy this code to a file of your choice: https://github.com/OpenELEC/wlan-firmware/blob/master/firmware/brcm/ap6330-nvram.txt
2. cp attachment.php?id=1879 /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt
# Now the brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt contains the correct information for the brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin
3. reboot
Fix Ethernet MAC RTL 8211F (in Linux):
At the moment the MAC Adress of the Ethernet is changing after every reboot. Maybe it has something to do with EMAC.
url: http://linux-sunxi.org/Ethernet#Setting_the_MAC_address
nano /etc/network/interfaces
-> EDIT and ADD here hwadress ether with the Original MAC or a Fantasy Mac
# Wired adapter #1
allow-hotplug eth0
no-auto-down eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx <- Fix the Mac here
To DOs:
- This is Developer: I isolated original "meson1.dtb" it is attached. feel free to decompile and develop
- Did not test Audio or Bluetooth
- Did not Install Mali Driver yet
I am writing because i took the AMLogic Project to get deeper in Linux. First of all @balbes150 and to every Armbian Developer : GREAT F()/"§! WORK!
I used the " ARMBIAN 5.32 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929-amlogics905x"
So let's get to the point.
$dmesg | grep brcm
..
[ 10.139138] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x16044330
[ 10.140995] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_map_chip_to_name: using brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin for chip 0x004330(17200) rev 0x000004
..
SO actually this is telling me there is a special wifi driver mapped.
I was not able to find the mapping. Even not in the decompiled dtb .
There it is mapping to 4329 (?!)
[Extract from DTB "meson-gxbb-vegas-95-telos.dtb" (decompiled to dts)]
I need to map it to "fw_bcm40183b2.bin" which is in the /lib/firmware/brcm folder.
I took the "nvram.txt" from the original Android Remix OS 2.0 and renamed it to "fw_bcm40183b2.txt"
The only thing i gotta do is to remap the driver and I have no clue where to find it. Sorry for beeing stupid.
With a trick I just overwrote the drivers which are mapped with renamed files
-> "fw_bcm40183b2.bin" is now "brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin"
-> "fw_bcm40183b2.txt" is now "brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt"
That worked 100% for testing! (After /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa-supplicant.conf AND etc/network/interfaces were adjusted)

But now I wanna map the right driver.
Thanks for any help
PS: And after that there is a bunch more of S905 TV boxes, which will run properly with <3 Armbian <3
Bruce got a reaction from balbes150 in [Howto] Install Armbian to Orbsmart RX-01 / Vensmile U1 / Unuiga S905
