I apologize for the delay in response. Before upgrading, I recommend doing a full backup (utility ddbr).
1. Then you can try updating via apt. If the system fails to start, you will have to perform a clean installation.
2. I haven't tested the packs mount in x86.
The start order of systems in the presence of external media. If you have a bootable system on a USB , it runs first USB -> if USB is no system (or no USB), checks the system on the SD and if there is, it runs SD -> if there is no system on the SD card , run system from eMMC.
Ok thanks. So I have a problem, to switch from an OS to another I have to unplug the supply power and remove and external media. When I turn off the system (without unplug) I can't power on again with the remote control. I tried to rename "remote.conf" but remote control doesn't work (only with Android it works). So every time I need to power on I need to plug the power supply and insert external media of a determinate system that I want to use. So...
1) there is a way to switch directly from a OS to another?
2) How can I add remote control? (I tried the method on first post but doesn't work for me.)

You can use unlimited number of systems on external media. When you connect together several media, always run the same system in order of priority - USB -> SD. To run from SD card, you need to be sure to turn the system off USB.
Got it, thanks. And if I install Libreelec on eMMc can I switch from Libreelec to Armbian (installed on sd card) or viceversa directly from the OS (using a terminal for example)? Or I need power off the system and remove the sd card to load Libreelec/add sd card to load Armbian? (Sorry for my misunderstanding, I'm little confused)

1. Start Armbian from SD card.
2. Open a terminal and run the command "sudo ddbr", then follow the prompts. Select the mode for creating a compressed backup. Ddbr utility creates a full backup (on the SD card in the directory /ddbr) of the system that you are now in the internal memory of the TV box.
3. After that you can write on the USB flash drive system Libreelec and connect to the TV box. Notice - to activate the multi-boot is not necessary. Libreelec should automatically start up with USB stick. Check the LE (all devices on your TV box) and if everything is working correctly, you can run the installation LE in the inside memory.
Can I use USB drive (with LibreELEC) and SD Card (with Amrbian) alternately without installing LibreELEC on eMMC (and then without losing android?, i use dtb file "gxbb_p200_1G_1Gigabit")
EDIT: I've installed libreelec on usb drive and now I have armbian on sd card and libreelec on usb drive, how can I switch from Armbian to Libreelec (for example) directly without remove pendrive or sdcard? it is possible from terminal (of armbian)?

1. If you use advanced features KODI, I recommend using Libreelec. You can install one of these systems (LE or Armbian) to eMMC , and the second to run from external media. If you have a model VIM2, you can install in eMMC universal system MultiOS_3in1 (Android+LibreELEC+Armbian or any other variant of Linux).
2. To use a USB stick with KODI you can try to mount it via SSH.
Ищи информацию об использовании библиотеки MALI. У меня нет конкретной инфы по этому вопросу. Насколько знаю, KODI использует x11 в ограниченном виде, поэтому совсем без x11 не обойтись. Можешь попробовать посмотреть исходники Amlogic на предмет, как они используют в gstreamer работу с фреймбуфером и libamcodec.
Look for information about using the libraries MALI. I have no specific information on this issue. As far as I know, KODI uses x11 in a limited way, so no x11 is not necessary. You can try to view the source code for Amlogic on the subject of how they use gstreamer to work with the framebuffer and libamcodec.
Ok, I will instal Libreelec instead of using Kodi, but I won't install to eMMc because I'm not expert so I could brick the TV box. Can I install Libreleec to SD card and also approach with Ubuntu MATE? Or can I have only one OS at time?
https://www.amazon.it/VicTsing-Quad-core-Bluetooth-Precaricato-Intrattenimento/dp/B01AMYSGHM/ (I have this TV box, MODEL: VITV-2, Android on this TV box is very slow, so I can't use it, Armbian and Kodi as so much faster than the original system, you would reccomend to install anyway to eMMc Libreleec and Armbian? I'm worried if I could cause a brick if I install these system on the eMMc, I had only 8gb sd scard, so If I do a backup I haven't so much space)

Video hardware acceleration is only in KODI. Therefore, any other program (including browsers) use softbuy processing, which need all the resources of the processor (the more powerful the processor, the better the video quality).
If you want to get a full-screen video in the browser - it can be assembled using the library libMali.
Got it, I have one last thing do to, actually, I need use Kodi because I want use Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud, NetflixXMBC etc. But when I try to configure an add-on (installed by zip file), Kodi says "No PVR add-on installed, you need a tuner blackend software". I tried enable PVR on Live TV, in setting (they had already enabled), but if I go in TV add-on there isn't anything, how can I add PVR clients? I searched on internet but I haven't find solutions, can you help me?
EDIT: another problem, when I try to plug an External USB device, in my case is an Usb pendrive, Kodi doens't see it. When I use Kodi from Ubuntu Mate works, but if I try to plug when I'm in Kodi Rom doesn't show it

sudo modprobe wifi_dummy

Thanks a lot, now it's all complete. Another question, my Tv Box has 1gb of ram and when I play a video on youtube with ubuntu mate on Chromium lags enough when I put the resolution on 720p or when I put it in fullscreen, the CPU usage reaches 80/90%, I tried all the dtb files. It is normal or am I doing something wrong? How can I increase performance in general?

I'm trying to add wifi, but I can't, I'm so stupid on these things, I opened MATE terminal on my s905 with gxbb_p201.dbt file but when I try to insert "modprobe wifi_dummy" or "modprobe dhd" it doesn't work. Terminal says: "could not insert 'wifi_dummy': operation not permitted". I don't understand very well English but I don't thing that the metod was wrong.
