Yes, The 1920x1080.bin file comes with Armbian. I use the multitool to flash https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/25.8.0-trunk.309/Armbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.309_Rk322x-box_bookworm_current_6.12.35_minimal.img.xz , this is the latesst build. On a Libre Renegade board I have (rk3328 CPU instead of rk3228 for this TV box), I have the same issue where it reverts to 1024x768, and adding the line extraargs=drm.edid_firmware=edid/1920x1080.bin to armbianEnv.txt fixes the issue, with the Armbian provided 1920x1080.bin file. To me, since it works fine under U-Boot, this hints at an Armbian bug.

TV Box Name: Sunvell T95Z plus Octagon shaped box (I wrote it before – but Beware – apparently a lot of variants) CPU Amlogics S912 Armbian build file name: Armbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.277_Aml-s9xx-box_noble_current_6.12.34 DTB file used: meson-gxm-t95z-plus.dtb – (my other T95z uses meson-gxm-vega-s96.dtb) Kernel Version: 6.12.34 Distribution Installed (focal, buster, etc): Noble Working Ethernet (Yes/No): Yes Max Ethernet Speed that works (100/1000): Not sure how to determine... Does wifi work (Yes/No): No Does bluetooth work (Yes/No): Not tested Does HDMI audio work (Yes/No): Yes Additional Comments (provide any additional information you feel is important): This is my second T95z plus box build. Using as headless server and both seem solid. Confirming what others have said – the build is different inside. This has a different wifi card and eemc. I have a 3rd T95z plus that has the dreaded NAND chip too. Having fun and learning. Using as a simple NAS now with a ZFS pool and works just fine.

How to install armbian in h618?
Алексей Торопов replied to alienxz77b's topic in Allwinner CPU Boxes
One more tv-box, HK1 Rbox. It hase an HK2735M chip Almost all things works, but WiFi can't connect to 5G, while 2.4 work fine.

Hi @faxe2110, or any other user, how are you? I'm working on a project with an Amlogic S805-based TV box and found your forum posts about custom Armbian images, particularly older versions like 5.67 with Debian Stretch and kernel 3.10.108. Unfortunately, the links you shared are no longer available, and I was wondering if you still have any of those files, or if you could give me some guidance on how to generate them. I'd greatly appreciate any help you can provide! Greetings from Argentina, Ricardo
-
Tomas. In regards to SteeMan writing that we could 'brick' our tv box, I have recovered two tv boxes that have an amlogic chip in them. Here are my and others' notes. Some more notes there about how to install/reinstall Android for the sake of installing Armbian maybe also be useful.

T95Z Plus (Second one) running great
Pita Bread replied to Tomas Catone's topic in TV Boxes running Armbian
Yes the text "Speed: 1000Mb/s" posted in the white box confirms the speed is 1 Gigabit. In my experience, actual transfer speed of data to/from a mechanical hard drive should be around 80 to 100 Megabytes (with a "y") per second. But the transfer speed can be faster if data is going to/come from a solid state drive or internal NAND/EMMC. I have a 12 Terabyte hard drive in a budget USB external enclosure and it is connected to my amlogic tv box via USB 3.0, and the tv box is connected via Gigabit ethernet. I use it for backups and saving some large video files. The 80 to 90 Megabytes/sec speed over ethernet is fast enough for me. hehe ☺ I heard of Cockpit via youtube videos talking about remote administration. I was old-school and I had already install Webmin. But thanks for reminding me that Cockpit is another good option. Oh Tailscale? It seems to be fancy VPN service with file transfer and other features. That's cool. I'll give those a try someday. ☺ For just tinkering, my favorites are "md" software raid, zfs and it's raid features, Pi-Hole... and I want to try Prometheus and Grafana. But for everyday use, my favorites are straightforward Samba file server, rsync, vsftpd, xrdp remote desktop, and any remote administration that works, like Webmin. However, I want to try NFS file server on the tv box and NFS client in a Windows PC to determine if that is faster than Samba. Here is a video about that https://youtu.be/mOoO9mFE7BI Cheers mate - Peter -
I would first suggest that you read this post: That may give you lots of reasons why you shouldn't depending on what your goals are. Installing armbian on a TV Box depends on the TV Box. Each CPU has differing levels of support (from none to fairly well supported in mainline linux). And then given there are hundreds of different TV Boxes, each will have different sets of working/non-working features depending on a variety of factors. As far as supporting a USB audio device, it shouldn't be any different than support for the device on any other linux platform/distribution. On Armbian you may need to install the linux-firmware-full package to get the driver support as by default Armbian ships with a slimed down set of firmware support.

A few days ago I had an issue with a successfully running Armbian installation running from the NVME of my Orange Pi 5 that suddenly developed an issue with nothing being shown on my TV. So after seemingly not being to identify the problem, I started again, wrote the image to an SD card and then moved the installation to the NVME drive using armbian-config utility. So now that I have a set-up that works again, I want to instigate a more belt and braces approach and create an image of the NVME installation using GZIP to compress the image file and decided to use the DD option from terminal. Having tried well over a hundred different combinations of commands, I am unable to get things to work. I either get errors of Not a directory, No such file or directory or Is a directory The output of lsblk is NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS mtdblock0 31:0 0 16M 0 disk mmcblk1 179:0 0 59.5G 0 disk └─mmcblk1p1 179:1 0 59.5G 0 part zram0 252:0 0 3.9G 0 disk [SWAP] zram1 252:1 0 50M 0 disk /var/log zram2 252:2 0 0B 0 disk nvme0n1 259:0 0 238.5G 0 disk └─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 238.5G 0 part /var/log.hdd So in order to create the copy of the NVME installation, that is only taking up 13gb of the 238Gb total, to the root of a 64Gb SD card, completely empty and formatted to EXT4 via gparted, using the information above, can anybody see where I am going wrong. A few typical examples of command structures that I have tried are: sudo dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 of=/dev/mmcblk1/armbian.gz conv=sync bs=64K | gzip --stdout > bs=4M status=progress dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 conv=sync bs=64K | gzip --stdout > of=/dev/mmcblk1/armbian.gz dd if=/dev/nvme0n1p1 conv=sync bs=64K | gzip --stdout > of=/dev/mmcblk1p1/armbian.gz bs=4M status=progress This is the general template that I initially followed from a website dd if=/dev/SOURCE conv=sync bs=64K | gzip --stdout > /path/to/file.gz I've researched the use of the DD command until I am cross eyed.

For a few weeks I've been using the latest official release from May 26, 2025, running just fine from my NVME drive. But then I turned it on and at the screen where you get the Amrbian grey/red logo in the middle of the screen and the spinning circle, it went no further. The spinning circle would either stop rotating or disappear after a minute or so. I can SSH into the device. But when I use remote desktop from a Windows PC, the full and functioning desktop is there. It's just not on my TV screen any more. I've done the usual HDMI cable testing and powering off the TV completely, but no change. The fact that the desktop is accessible remotely does indicate that it must be loading in some fashion. Took a log here: https://paste.next.armbian.com/qococumoga

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!

T95Z Plus (Second one) running great
Tomas Catone replied to Tomas Catone's topic in TV Boxes running Armbian
Good to meet a fellow armbian android tv box fan. We need a logo or shorthand alias for fans 🤣. ZFS - was easy but not clear. Inside armbian-config under System/Storage is a script to install ZFS support. I did this and it didn't work... then undid it and then installed it a second time and it worked. Somewhere in there I also ran the standard commands for install: sudo apt install zfsutils-linux sudo apt install zfs-fuse Probably after the first uninstall... but the commands indicate failure. But then installing the second time seemed to work. Did that on both of these boxes I have working. Thanks for the ethtool command. Here's my results on box1 ports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on master-slave cfg: preferred slave master-slave status: slave Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: external MDI-X: Unknown netlink error: Operation not permitted Current message level: 0x0000003f (63) drv probe link timer ifdown ifup Link detected: yes Not an expert and first time reading this command but looks like 1000 is the answer. Crazy thing - box 2 does not have the line "MDI-X: Unknown" shown towards the bottom and "Port: MII" instead of "Port: twisted pair" but is otherwise identical. Posting in case it helps anyone else - but these are beyond me. If you confirm that the above = 1000 I will update both my box running posts. By the way - Another favorite is Software/Management/Cockpit. Easy to see how the server is doing. Plus it has a built in terminal and file manager. Add that to Tailscale and you can check on the server or grab a file while out of the house. curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh Those are my favorites. What are yours? -
I disassembled my tv box - there are 4 screws under the 4 rubbery feet. Removed the motherboard and I drilled some holes of 1/4 inch (7 mm) diameter through the bottom plastic piece. Then I placed a USB fan underneath the tv box and wow the temperature really goes down and stays down around 45 C to 60 C depending on work load. The fans are 80mm and 120mm in size. I chose 120mm to be sure.

Learning has started. **** Thank you thank you to @ZuiMelanieForno and their post here: But basically looks like the easy way is to create a soft link of the ap6330 driver file as the brcm4330 file that must be loaded by default. sudo mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt.old sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac-ap6330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt Not sure of this solution will survive update. (UPDATE: Confirmed - it does not survive update - but doing the commands again and a reboot seemed to work.) I have installed pihole and had it running. I had jellyfin running. Rebuilt from 0 again and am trying to do inside of docker containers. Dockers seems running but still some learning to go. If I write my sd to my eMMC – can reset to 0 again by booting from an sd card … and when ready burn that to eMMC? Or should I keep the writes to the eMMC as few as possible? I own two of these boxes – Identical on the outside but the newer one (bought probably 1 year later) does NOT have an eMMC. It has the dreaded NAND chip(BiWIN 16GB)… Also a different wifi module I think…. (LTM8830) Oh and – can I just say I love pulling this thing out of retirement and having a tiny low cost media server in the house. Thanks @balbes150 and @SteeMan and Everyone for their hard work! This is amazing... until I blow it up again...

That's a very good idea, especially if my online accounts that have my photos would ever become problematic for any reason. I have armbian on a tv box with SMB (samba) and with a USB 3.0 hard drive. The tv box is connected by gigabit ethernet to my home network. So I am going to try these apps - PhotoSync, FolderSync, CX File Explorer - on my android phone to backup my personal photos and videos and determine which is easiest and fastest. Which app on your phone/tablet have you chosen to use to backup your photos/videos?

Desktop not showing Armbian 25.5.1 Noble Gnome, Orange Pi 5
laibsch replied to compent's topic in Orange Pi 5
Yes, your logs show hundreds of errors, so it will be hard to pinpoint which one it is exactly. Here's a few things I can suggest that might move you along. "sudo service restart lightdm" # see if X now comes up on your TV, assuming that lightm is what you are using "sudo nano /home/*/.xsession-errors" # check the errors listed in those log files, they are more specific Can you try to flash an (older) image to a microSD card, boot off it and see what the results are? @Efe Çetin is the maintainer of your board, maybe he has a comment? Your board is in community-maintained status for armbian. There are no guarantees. -
Desktop not showing Armbian 25.5.1 Noble Gnome, Orange Pi 5
compent replied to compent's topic in Orange Pi 5
@WERNER If I try to use xrandr through an SSH connection using putty I get the response 'Can't open display' I can use it in terminal via remote connection and the basic command returns: Screen 0: minimum 256 x 256, current 1364 x 768, maximum 16384 x 16384 rdp0 connected primary 1364x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1364x768 50.00* Messing around with xrandr, there seems to be more than one way to skin a cat, if I try something like: xrandr --output rdp0 --mode 1280x720 I get a response of 'cannot find mode 1280x720' I experimented with all manner of normal resolutions that I have used before and even tried both the minimum stated by the plain xrandr command, 256x256 and 16384x16384 but get exactly the same response. It would seem likely that 1364 x 768 is why my TV is not showing the desktop because I suspect the resolution is not supported. But I feel between a rock and a hard place for something that seems become hard locked. @laibsch I poured through the log I posted above but much of it seem to be more rocket science, so hard to pick out something that logically points me in the right direction. -
So my experience with Armbian is pretty broad, starting with Raspberry PI, then taking a hard left turn at Albuquerque with me successfully running a docker server on an Allwinner H3 based T95 super TV box. I’ve also run it on SBCs like the yeayeetoo Rockchip series. I’ve just never compiled a build and it is so hard to find any info from anywhere about the Armada 1500 running anything. What is the virtual system option?

Hello all. I am following the template to write this post and I will add more details as well. My first ever message (here) was in the "Amlogic CPU Boxes" section. TV Box Name: T95 Max+ (Plus) CPU: S905x3 Armbian build file name: Armbian_23.02.2_Aml-s9xx-box_jammy_current_6.1.11.img.xz DTB file used: /dtb-6.1.11-meson64/amlogic/meson-sm1-x96-air.dtb Kernel Version: 6.1.11 Distribution Installed: jammy (Ubuntu) Working Ethernet: Yes Max Ethernet Speed that works: 100 Mbps Does wifi work: No Does bluetooth work: No Does HDMI audio work: No Additional Comments (provide any additional information you feel is important): Read below ... I ran these commands to disable some features that could break the system or cause the system to not boot. This is from my experience of installing the system twice. sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-current-meson64 armbian-bsp-cli-aml-s9xx-box armbian-firmware sudo apt-mark hold linux-dtb-current-meson64 linux-u-boot-aml-s9xx-box-current sudo systemctl disable --now systemd-networkd-wait-online.service sudo systemctl disable --now unattended-upgrades I wanted to get sound out of the box. So, I purchased a generic USB audio dongle from Aliexpress for $3 USD. (see attached photo). The USB audio device is described in Linux as a Texas Instruments PCM2902 Audio Codec (USB PnP Sound Device device 0 USB Audio), and when you run “lsusb” you will see the id numbers 08bb:2902. I updated the databases for repositories by running “sudo apt update -y” and installed necessary packages to support the USB audio device and to use the XFCE4 graphical desktop. Here are the commands I ran for XFCE4 and for some additional nice bits: sudo apt update -y; sudo apt install -y xfdesktop4 xfce4 xfce4-power-manager xfce4-goodies xinit xdm xorg xserver-xorg; sudo apt install -y arandr greybird-gtk-theme numix-gtk-theme numix-icon-theme epiphany-browser; sudo apt install -y elementary-xfce-icon-theme xscreensaver xscreensaver-data xcvt firefox mesa-utils; sudo apt install -y gvfs gvfs-fuse gvfs-common xubuntu-icon-theme at-spi2-core smplayer; sudo apt install -y alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-utils alsamixergui pulseaudio pavucontrol pavumeter; Edit the file /etc/modules with the “nano” command and write “snd-usb-audio” at the end of the file. Also, edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and change a few things, but make a backup copy first: sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ~/alsa-base.conf.backup Put a # symbol in front of every “options snd-usb-audio index=-2” that you see in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf . I found two of them. Add these two lines of text to the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf . alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=0 Make sure that you are in the 'audio' group. Run the “usermod” command against a regular user (not root) that you want to use often. And reboot. sudo usermod -a G audio {username here} sudo reboot After reboot, the graphical X Display Manager (xdm) should greet you with a simple gray prompt and you can login to XFCE4. You should see a red LED light blinking on the USB audio dongle. You may want to change the display resolution to 1280x720 or 1920x1080 (whichever is available to you) by clicking on the panel (start menu), Applications, Settings, and Display. The Arandr tool in Settings can also help you adjust the display resolution. Open the volume control program by clicking on the panel Applications, Multimedia, PulseAudio Volume Control. Click the Configuration tab at the far right of the volume control and change the profile to Analog Stereo. * Important – now connect a headset, earphone, or amplifier to the 3.5mm (⅛’’) black 🎧 receptacle on the USB audio dongle and play some sounds, music or youtube.

T95 Max + (Plus) S905x3, 4GB RAM / 32B ROM
Pita Bread replied to Pita Bread's topic in TV Boxes running Armbian
I updated my guide to include the newer "pipewire" audio system software. LINK HERE. I am curious to know if you got sound working on your tv box, and how you did it. Also, what tv box are you using these days? -
The previous post was mostly for slightly older releases of Armbian which includes Ubuntu 23 or Debian 10 and lower releases installed on a Tv Box. This short guide is for Ubuntu 24.04 and later releases installed on a Tv Box. This guide should also work for latest versions of Debian (but I didn't test it). Get a generic USB "sound card" audio adapter dongle from AliExpress, eBay, Amazon (etc). See the photo posted above (LINK). These gadgets are often between $2 and $5 USD but they all are usually similar, so I just got the lowest priced one at about $2.50 USD. Insert the USB "sound card" audio adapter dongle into your tv box. Create a new regular user in Linux, and login with the new user (not root). sudo adduser {user-name} Be sure your user is in the group 'audio' and 'sudo', and be sure you have logged in as the user (not root). sudo usermod -a -G audio,sudo {username} Now let's install and setup audio sound using Pipewire and WirePlumber (but not Pulse). First, install alsa base, and mixer software. sudo apt install -y alsa-base alsa-tools alsa-utils alsamixergui qasmixer Make a backup copy of these two text files /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and save the backup copies in your home directory. cp -v /etc/modules $HOME/modules.backup cp -v /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf $HOME/alsa-base.conf.backup Edit the text file /etc/modules and write “snd-usb-audio” without quotes at the end of the file, and then save and close the file. sudo nano /etc/modules Edit the text file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and change and add some text sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf Put a hash # symbol in front of every “options snd-usb-audio index=-2” that you see in the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf - I found two instances. Add these two lines of text to the bottom of the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, and then save and close the file. alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=0 Install pipewire and wireplumber and support files. sudo apt install -y pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber pipewire-audio-client-libraries gstreamer1.0-pipewire Optional to install a graphical media player smplayer, vlc, totem, (etc). and optional install a graphical audio player rhythmbox, audacious, (etc). sudo apt install -y smplayer sudo apt install -y audacious In case that the pulse audio system is still installed, we will disable it for the local user. systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket Enable pipewire for the local user systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse To be sure everything will work, let's reboot sudo reboot Login as the regular user, and run some informative commands to prove that the USB dongle and the pipewire audio system are working. Use alsa player to list audio devices. aplay -l Use alsa player to list PCM audio outputs (use capital "L"). aplay -L Use wireplumber control to show status of audio outputs/inputs via pipewire. wpctl status Use wireplumber control to show a volume level of default output wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ Change the volume using alsa mixer, after running it, press up/down arrow keys, and press "q", "e", "z", "c" and "s" keys. alsamixer Change the volume +/- by ten percent using wireplumber control. wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 10%+ wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 10%- * Important * connect a headphone, or amplifier to the 3.5mm output jack 🎧 of the USB adapter dongle and play some audio files. aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav You can also login to the graphical desktop such as lxde or xfce4 and open a video/media player or an audio player software and play some audio files. I used Audacious for this example. Again, audio files are available in the directory /usr/share/sounds/alsa/ From here, you can use the wpctl command (LINK) or another control program for wireplumber. Maybe some of the Pulse audio tools would still work. Audacious works fine when playing locally stored audio files. The same should be true for using SMPlayer or VLC to play video files. Note that depending on the speed of your tv box, Youtube in Chrome / Chromium is sometimes laggy, has delays and resets. Other than that, it's all good. Enjoy ♪ ♫ ☺

Hello. Regarding a tv box, I briefly tried to connect a Realtek 8188 USB wifi adapter and get it working, but I quickly quit trying because there wasn't any appropriate firmware in Armbian or there was some other technical problem, and I didn't know to solve the problem. I know for certain that wifi adapter works in Linux, for example on a PC and in EmuElec. I tried only XFCE4. But yes, I can recommend LXDE and LXQt as an alternative to XFCE4 because they are lighter. ☺
