Have you tried all of the gxm dtb files? Per the instructions (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/33676-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus)

In the world of TV boxes "identical looking" means nothing, as manufacturers build each batch with the lowest cost components available at the time. There are many cases where identical looking boxes even contain different cpus ( ie amlogic vs rockchip). My recommendation would be first to verify the markings on the boards (there is usually some sort of board identifying text on the board)to really see if they are the same under the hood.

Hello everyone, I have two identical-looking "arm-64" Amlogic TV boxes (S805X-based, meson-gxl-s805x-p241.dtb), both running the same Armbian image (kernel 5.9.0-arm-64 from balbes150 build). Both boxes have BCM43430 WiFi+BT combo (AP6212 module) on SDIO (mmc1). Problem: - STB 1: WiFi works perfectly (BCM43430/1 stepping) - STB 2: WiFi fails to initialize (BCM43430/2 stepping) — always ends with "HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50" Key dmesg from STB 1 (working): [ 7.719726] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x1541a9a6 [ 7.736079] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio for chip BCM43430/1 [ 7.976301] brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware: BCM43430/1 wl0: Mar 30 2021 01:12:21 version 7.45.98.118 (7d96287 CY) FWID 01-32059766 → wlan0 appears and connects normally Key dmesg from STB 2 (not working): [ 7.564287] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x1542a9a6 [ 7.568240] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio for chip BCM43430/2 [ 8.644057] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50 [ 9.652082] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50 → No wlan0 interface created What I already tried on STB 2: 1.

Created symlink for board-specific file: ln -sf brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt brcmfmac43430-sdio.amlogic,p241.txt → still fails 5. Added various NVRAM tweaks (boardflags3=0x48200100, LPO=1, sd_drivestrength=6, etc.) → no change 6. Tried sdio_overclock=0 (and 25000000) → module says "unknown parameter 'sdio_overclock' ignored" (not supported in this kernel 5.9 build) Current /lib/firmware/brcm contents (relevant files): - brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin - brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt - brcmfmac43430a0-sdio.bin - brcmfmac43430a0-sdio.txt - brcmfmac43430-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b.txt - brcmfmac43430-sdio.amlogic,p241.txt (now exists) modinfo brcmfmac shows no sdio_overclock or drive_strength parameter available. Questions: - Has anyone seen BCM43430/2 stepping specifically fail like this while /1 works on the same image? - Is there a known good NVRAM .txt for BCM43430/2 on Amlogic boxes? - Any other module parameters or DTB tweaks that could slow down SDIO clock or force LPO mode? - Or is this most likely a hardware difference (LPO crystal issue on the module/board)? Any help or pointers greatly appreciated — really want to avoid buying USB dongles if possible.

Hey i am looking for a suitable armbian distro for my tv box with the allwinner h313, 2gb ram and 8bg emmc.

As I had read, the maximum amount of RAM the H618 handles is 4GB, so, this 8GB TV Box should be a false information.

Hello GUYS I want to install new firmware for my tv box but i can't find please help me about that. (Mxq pro 4k 5g (Amlogic meson8b))PLease help me. Because I am fed up . It slows down day by day.

I’ve been testing Armbian on an Amlogic-based TV box, and wanted to share a short user experience. The device originally runs Android, but thanks to the Amlogic S9xx platform, it can boot Armbian from an SD card without touching the internal firmware. In my case, the system booted reliably and was usable for basic tasks like SSH access, light services, and general Linux testing. Ethernet and USB worked out of the box, while Wi-Fi and power management still required some manual tweaks, which seems common for community-supported TV boxes. For reference, the hardware I used belongs to the category of Amlogic TV boxes that are widely available on the market. These devices are not officially supported by Armbian, but they can still be interesting low-cost platforms for learning, testing, or small home projects. I’m curious if others here have experience with Armbian on similar Amlogic TV boxes, and which SoCs or configurations worked best for you.

Howdy hey. What do you guys think of this Android TV Box Q19 Android16 Allwinner H618 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011785087357.html it does claim 8GB ram and price is ~40 euro ? or 95 TV Box Android14 Allwinner H616 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009496923463.html which one is a better bet?

Good afternoon, I can't compile the cores for this TV box. https://paste.armbian.com/ziyasupeka

Stock rom of this tv stick is so bad that it lags even with just watching youtube and it wrote it can play 4k. So I need armbian/any other linux distro for this tv stick.

I installed ambian in this tv box to run klipper for my 3d printer, but its been a years since I last used it and I totally forgot what was the user I created. I really didn't want to wipe the SD card because of my 3d printer's config files etc. Is there anything I can do to retrieve the user and password? Thanks.

The purpose in this guide is to make installation simple for those who wish to follow what I did. This is specifically for the Yoka TV KB2 Pro which uses the S912 chipset with 3GB RAM and 32 GB ROM. It was successful and works for setting up windows mapped drives just fine with Samba. (for example Z:\) I am using it off the SD card, I left Android 7.1 on the EMMC. Notes: My intentions are to use it for a file server for use with USB 2.0 drives I have laying around that are old but still technically usable. The file transfer speed is only expected to be around 30% of the 1GBPS wired network. The bottleneck will definitely be the USB 2.0, but for what I am using it for, it should work just fine. Leaving it on 24/7 is only slightly more power than a Raspberry PI 4, so very low cost. The Wireless and Bluetooth do not work as is, I am not sure if you can get the drivers to make them work, I did not try. The 1GBPS network port works just fine. There is also no GPU/VPU acceleration, but for a file server who cares? This was done with windows 11 and win32diskimager (note the original website is https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) the other links are not what you are looking for and likely viruses and malware. Balena Etcher did not like the image file, win32diskimager had no issues once I extracted the .img file. Head to https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box/ Download the Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.22 Noble Gnome - I did not test any of the other images. Burn it to an SD card - note (it says it will only work with up to 32GB micro SD cards. My 64GB amazon micro SD card worked just fine after upgrading my Yoka TV KB2 PRO to android 7.1 earlier, go figure.) I would suggest for this get a name brand SD card that is 32GB or less (the image uses around 2GB) At the boot partition you have to rename the file u-boot-s905x-s912 to u-boot.ext Now you have to edit the /extlinux/extlinux.conf file, look for the line that says FDT /dtb/meson-something (and change it to say FDT /dtb/meson-gxm-q200.dtb save the file This lets it know what chipset/model you are using, this is for the S912 chip that is in your Yoka TV kb2 pro You will need a usb keyboard and mouse, you also have to have it plugged into an HDMI cord that runs to a monitor or TV. Now for booting it in multiboot mode - hold the reset button (between AV and HDMI ports, this button is inside and very small, google suggests a toothpick, I used a phone sim remover tool) for 10 seconds before and while powering it on, do not let go until you hit 10 seconds. Now every time you restart it, it defaults to SD card first. It may take 2 or 3 attempts, but it does work. To boot to Android, just remove the SD card. First boot username and password is root and 1234, it will force you to change the password. When it asks for bash or zsh, I chose bash because I am way more familiar with it. When it asks for locale I used en_US.UTF-8 Time zone is based on wherever you are I used America/Chicago It will also ask you to create a new user account (non-root) and a password) This should get you up and running. The button to access everything is in the upper left corner, then you can access all your apps. There are tutorials to upgrade it to android 7.1 - it does work and well documented. I upgraded mine to android 7.1 it worked just fine. Do Not try to upgrade to android 9 slimBOXtv, there are no successful attempts proven, just bricked devices. I did not see a single picture of anyone having it running. I did however see plenty of complaints for bricked devices. Good enough for me to steer clear. I know this is rather long, but it will get you through the entire process, be safe, and hope you enjoy this how-to guide.

Help for install ambian 22 or 23 in box TV with soc rk3528 i have instaled in box with amlogic no problème but with rockchip no support no boot......

Hi all, I’m working with an Amlogic S805X (P241) board and I’d like to run Armbian on it, but I need a kernel 5.15 LTS build that boots reliably (especially from USB/SD). I see Armbian community builds with kernel 6.x for Amlogic TV boxes (e.g., Armbian_community_26.x), but these do not boot successfully on my P241. I previously successfully booted Armbian with kernel 5.9, but I want an image based on the 5.15 LTS kernel if possible. Is there an existing downloadable image for S805X/P241 with kernel 5.15? If not, can you share build parameters (BOARD=, BRANCH=, kernel target) to compile a minimal Armbian image with 5.15 that uses meson-gxl-s805x-p241.dtb? I also want to confirm the correct dtb file and boot configuration needed. Kernel 6.x gives me reserved-memory / CMA errors on S805X P241 and didnt boot Kernel 5.x booted , Is there any 5.15 LTS Armbian image, or how can I build one? Thanks!

There are no Armbian builds that old, in fact Amlogic TV boxes weren't incorporated into Armbian until later Linux kernels. What you must have been using would most likely have been a fork of Armbian. What you are asking for isnt possible in the way you are asking. You essentially want Armbian ported to the 5.15 Linux kernels, which is a huge project. You would be better served but spending a month or so figuring out why current kernels don't work for you and fixing that.

So I bought this chinise Android TV Box and would love to install armbian on it. I am new on this and discovered armbian just after buying it. I didn't know there was no support and not official open source for the Rockchip RK3528, otherwise I would have chosen any other. The box works fine but it has that known malware that send packets to suspicious links (I scanned activity with pi-hole). Description says it has 2GB RAM and 16GB storage (Hynix H26M51002KPR) WiFi chip is LGX8800D I attach images of the board and all of it's componentes, including IR sensor and display. It also has a red LED that turns on when in stand-by mode. I hope this help to develop or patch a working version of armbian for it. I have already read about some patches around that would probably work, but I' new to this and I'm not sure how to start. What I would like to do first is a completly ROM backup, and start doing test with a pendrive or SD card, not writting directly to the eMMC (if possible) until the important things get working. And any help would be appreciated. Edit: I will keep posting in this thread with my progress (or attemps!)

I currently have a TV box with @Nick A Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_x98h_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img. I have installed linux-headers-edge-sunxi64_25.05.0-trunk_arm64__6.12.11 from the same repository. I'm trying to build a custom module to get the LCD working but I keep coming up against a Exec Format Error which implies a mismatch between the build version and the installed version. But I can't find the cause. I have been following the build instructions for tm16xx-display which hasn't been a smooth process. I've had to remove some forward slashes in the Makefile so it would find the drivers/auxdisplay folder and the line-display.mod.c file it created had entries with multiple double quotes that caused errors. I had to change ""LINEDISP"" to "'LINEDISP'" before it would build. I should also mention I have previously tried OpenVFD and come up with the exact same issue so I don't think it's related to tm16xx. uname - r 6.12.11-edge-sunxi64 Vermagic of the module 6.12.11-edge-sunxi64 SMP preempt mod_unload aarch64 uname -a Linux x98h 6.12.11-edge-sunxi64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 23 11:23:05 EST 2025 aarch64 GNU/LINUX I have little experience with building things in Linux. Am I missing something simple? Is "PREEMPT" listed in all caps in uname -a an issue when the vermagic line is lower case? What about mod_unload? Any other ideas? I've been googling all day and got nowhere. Most results show different version between uname and vermagic which isn't the case here as far as I can tell. I guess I just need to know if it's possible to build custom modules with armbian images or if it's something that just doesn't work and I should forget about it. Thanks.

I'm been trying to install Armbian on this TV.BOX console. I already test bookworm xfce image of Armbian as like the last XFCE image → Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.357_Aml-s9xx-box_noble_current_6.18.7_xfce_desktop I als test minimal images ad they don't work. The spces of console are : Processor (CPU)Amlogic S905X3 Quad-core ARM Cortex-A55, up to 1.91GHz Graphics (GPU)Mali-G31 MP2 RAM4GB DDR3 Storage (ROM)32GB eMMC Video OutputHDMI, supports up to 8K@24fps (Android system) and 1080p (EmuELEC system) Connectivity2.4G/5G Dual-band Wi-Fi, 10/1000M Ethernet LAN, Bluetooth 4.0 Ports1x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0, HDMI, Ethernet, DCIN (Power), TF card slot, AV output I test to boot the stock images just after download them and the boot shows the HK1Series and then goes to internal android system (tvbox) so failed. When I do the steps to put dtb file, edit extlinux.conf and rename properly u-bott to u-boot.ext (I search and test test many dtb files as like meson-sm1-hk1box-vontar-x3.dtb, meson-sm1-h96max-x3.dtb, sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb, sm1_s905x3_4g.dtb as like others that I download on web when I search info about install armbian on s905x tv boxes). I also try to see if I can edit a .dts file and then convert to .dtb qhen I did It doesn't work. So none of steps above works. But I find one image system that works called devmfc that has only a minimal image similar to a server image only with tty text. https://github.com/devmfc/debian-on-amlogic/releases I inspect the .image of this system, and I find that if I copy the boot.scr, boot.script and cfgload to the /boot partiton of the armbian systems and boot the Sper Console it goes to a pink screen and then after a minute just reboot or goes to hkseries system. So I think if I can edit boot.scr, bootscript and cfgload maybe I can put the right data to force boot the real kernel of armbian. Maybe then armbian works. I use Linux and try to open those files with text editor but doesn't work. Anyone knows How I can edit this files ? Any user can boot armbian on this console TvBox ? Thanks.

Hi everybody, I just bought an X96 X6 TV box (8G/64G) to run Home Assistant. However it is not popular so there is no Armina for it. Home Assistant requires Debian 11/12 (linux kernel, no desktop version) to operate. Hope everyone can help me. Thank you very much. I only need 1 file *.img file to install Home Assistant, no need: USB, wifi, Bluetooth... because it can be difficult. Thank you very much!

Hello everybody. I'm new to this and I would like to install Linux on my BTV X p212 TV box. I saw that there are several versions of systems but I couldn't find them for this specific one and I would like to know if you can help me? Please. Ps: I searched here on the forum, google but I couldn't find it.

The wifi and ethernet both are not working for my transpeed 8k tv device. it has a rk3528 chipset. 1. I tried resetting it from its android factory setting. it did not work. 2. I found its image which i flashed via RKdevtool. Still the both wifi and lan did not work. 3. i tried external usb wifi dongle but it did not detect it. 4. I tried to install debian OS i found somewhere on internet designed for rk3528 on it as alternative but rkdevtool did not identified the image Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance,
