How long do you wait for the launch ?

Which image (exact name) runs normally on your model ?

Hi @balbes150,

i have waited from 2-3 minutes up to 20-30 minutes just to see if something happen, if can help, my monitor tell me that is out of range...

I don't remember the exact image name but in the past i have used many images from this thread without hassle

yesterday i have tried also one of this images but without success, i also have tried LE from the above thread, no success

What are the differences between these images and the new unified images? Are those still being mantained?

It's frustrating...

 

Thanks again!

Hmm. Now I checked the latest image with the 5.6 core on my MX10. Recorded the Armbian image with Rosa imagewriter on the SD card. I downloaded the u-boot-3328-mvr file and also recorded it on the same SD card with the Rosa imagewriter program. Opened the file (uEnv.txt) in the text editor changed the settings for rk3328 (commented lines from rk3399 and removed comments from lines for rk3328). I connected the SD card to the MX10, turned on the power, and the system started normally. Show the you contents (uEnv.txt) after setting up. And use the program to write the image and file u-boot (don't use DD).

Do you have any Armbian or LE system that can now work on your TV box from an SD card ? I can suggest that there is a problem with either the card reader or the SD card. By the way, do you have a full-size SD card or micro SD card with an adapter ? You need to check the launch from the USB flash drive. Write the image to a USB flash drive, configure the DTB, connect the previously prepared SD card and USB flash drive together, and turn on the power.

I don’t keep up with you - while I am testing one version, you have already made the following.. :)

I'm here again.

At the end I have installed this Armbian_20.05.0_Arm-64_buster_current_5.6.0-rc6_desktop_20200329.img

 

All works: audio by HDMI, wifi, LAN and bt.

 

Anyway the test video and other video that i play in full screen are very slow and laggy..

I'm not an expert in this, but is it possible solve this problem?

KODI from network repositories does not have HW, so it will run slowly.

The S905X without HW can provide full-screen video at a resolution of no more than 720p. If you want to watch a full-screen video with a different resolution, either build and add components with HW yourself, or use Libreelec (it supports 4K video).

You need the correct DTB.

Some kernel process has been going on using cpu for a while now. Anyone know how to track it down?

Armbian_20.05.0_Arm-64_bionic_legacy_5.6.0-rc7_desktop_20200324

 

It has settled down now, no clue what caused it

Hi, It looks like Kernel 5.7 will get HW acceleration.  Can you make image with 5.7 RC1?

You need to run the appropriate script for your cpu located in the /root directory.

The standard armbian documentation only applies to the standard armbian builds.  The builds by balbes150 in this thread are a fork of the standard armbian code and therefore you can't use the standard documentation.  Look in your /root directory as I indicated and you will see the install script you need to run for installation into emmc.

This is the Armbian-TV version. It has a number of differences that are specially made to support TV boxes. First of all, you need to look at the information in the first message of this topic (there are differences from the official version).

If I wanna change build, i cannot do update from sd as before so how i proceed?

I'm not sure what you mean by change build.  So I will try to answer the best I can.  Once you have installed a build onto internal storage, you would use the distribution tools to get updates for all of the software packages (i.e. apt update/upgrade).  This will get you patches for everything except the linux kernel.  You are currently stuck at the linux kernel you installed as there aren't currently kernel updates automatically provided via apt for the Armbian TV builds  So to get kernel updates you would either need to completely reinstall everything from a new sd card build, or build your own kernel from source and install it manually.

Updating the kernel works the same way. But before updating it, you need to manually rename the /boot/dtb directory to /boot/dtb-old. And then you can run the standard upgrade procedure (apt upgrade). The kernel will update automatically. This only works for those who have correctly configured the DTB in a text file (uEnv.txt) and did not add its own DTB  to  manual (which is not supported in the kernel).

You would repeat the process you just completed.  Create a new sdcard with the desired distribution, then copy that to internal emmc with the provided scripts in the /root directory.  If you boot the box with the sd card inserted, the box will boot from the sd card, thus allowing you to overwrite the contents of the internal emmc.

Hi @balbes150,

no, i don't have any system that actually work on my MX10...
i have a microSD with an adapter, and i have tried to write image from another PC and consequently from another sd card writer just to see if that can be the problem,

tried also the sd + USB option but nothing...

The only thing that has changed since it worked is that the tv box has been (Officially) updated from Android 8.1 to Android 9 ... could this be the problem?

 

Thaks for all @balbes150!

You could not immediately write that your firmware has changed ? I spent a lot of time on unnecessary checks. The new firmware is a different u-boot that is not known to work. Without output from the UART console, I can't help you in any way.
