[[Howto] Install Armbian to Orbsmart RX-01 / Vensmile U1 / Unuiga S905]

Hi Bruce, 

 

seems you are right - we are the only ones. But I learned a lot about linux in the last weeks

 

I thought I could use this little box as a backup-machine (and my scanner can only be used with linux). 

I had the idea to get the firmware from remix - but I failed to mount mmcblk0.

 

So we'll have to wait until a guru will come and help

 

Best regards from Hessen

Ralph

Hi, 

is bluetooth running on your installation?

Got It

there was a mistake with the wget and cp command and I do not understand what really happened.

 

In the brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt was a lot of html-code. So at last I copie-pasted the content from github ... and it works. 

 

Great work from you, thank you!

Hi Bruce, 

 

tried your solution but there is no wlan. I even did not find any information in the logs except this:

At the moment I throw my rifle in the grainfield

Hello Bruce, 

 

yes, that's me at Youtube

Hope it's ok that I posted the solution here I found with your assistance.

 

PS I am still fighting the wlan-problem.

Found the answer:  Boot-Mode must be changed - 

 

Download update-tool from here: http://update-backup.apk.black/ and then install aml_autoscript.zip (which is on the sd-card)

I had to start the console (press pin trough the av opening and boot) ... and suddenly it works.

 

Hope this helps others

Hello Bruce, 

 

sorry I do not have a solution but only some questions:

 

As I use the same box (Orbsmart RX-01) I tried to install Armian on it ... without success, the box allways starts Remix. No errors, as if there is no sd-card inserted.

 

First question: where did you find "ARMBIAN 5.32 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.14.0-rc2-next-20170929-amlogics905x" ?

Second question: Did you format the sdcard before installing the iso with etcher? Which parameters did you use?

 

Would be nice if you could help me, 

 

Greeting from Germany

Ralph
