As mentioned previously, this is not an issue. I tried to build a new DTB with the inclusion of an additional 3.5 output. The device appeared, but I didn't find any sound. May need to configure it, or I specified the wrong parameters. https://yadi.sk/d/Q40bC_wBJr9D9A
DevShanky Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Hello balbes150; I installed Armbian_20.02.0-rc1.036_Arm-64_buster_current_5.5.0-rc6_desktop_20200205.img on Tanix-TX3-Mini-S905W. Works like charm. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Great work! Couldn't locate nand-sata-install.sh on this distribution. Copied from another image but it doesn't work. The devices has 16GB eMMC. Armbian-config also does not have this option. Any help to move image to eMMC is highly appreciated. Thanks Rajesh

noname Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 With Ver 20.05.0 20200211 I can not boot from sdcard again. (Tronsmart S95 Pro (s905, 1/8 G)). And another question: can I install in emmc from dual boot mode? I did not understand the procedure for installing in emmc.
Turgus Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Thanks to balbes for his work and providing the rich variety of all these aml, multi & aw-images! Armbian_20.05.0-trunk_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.5.0-rc6_desktop_20200211.img.xz runs & installs nicely on my x96mini 2/16 s905w p281 testbox. Depending on chip -I got several different hw-versions of x96m- even wifi works with AP6255(this pcb has imprint "Q6X V4.0 17392"), but I use ethernet cable anyway. Because I forgot to mute TV after some other test-scenario I got signal not only via analogue amp as usual. HDMI sound seems to be little overdriven/distorted on desktop-test-video without user regulation on box(TV was set just at 3 of 40 which is usually "near muted"..), while usb sound sends perfect and clean signal to old '93s Kenwood Stereo-Amp via 3.5mm jack. By the way: I'll try this build on my creepy, stubborn, un-cooperative (flowfon/eachlink) H6mini 4/32 box next days too-would be nice if it works(on other, zero-overwritten card, with aw u-boot and aw changes), but I doubt it on this some kind of enchanted device which booted le for tx6 exactly one time and then never any armbian or LE again(no success with uart-reading other than garbage, found no working u-boot/dtb to boot from sd, usb or sd & usb together..)..

On s905, the u-boot is too old and cannot be installed in eMMC with it. You can try replacing u-boot manually in eMMC with the latest version of u-boot-2019\2020, but there are no guarantees that this will work and there is a high probability of getting a hard-to-restore brick.
Turgus Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 ..just a quick report: Armbian_20.05.0-trunk_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.5.1_desktop_20200212.img.xz also runs & installs nicely like before on my x96mini 2/16 s905w p281 testbox as always with ethernet connection and analogue usb sound.

HDMI sound seems to be little overdriven/distorted on desktop-test-video without user regulation on box(TV was set just at 3 of 40 which is usually "near muted"..), Audio distortion is due to incorrect definition of the video output. On devices with the CVBS output description in DTB, when connecting HDMI devices via bad cables or adapters, the kernel cannot correctly identify the HDMI output and switches to CVBS, this causes incorrect modes for HDMI and audio through it.
Turgus Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 8 minutes ago, balbes150 said: kernel cannot correctly identify the HDMI output and switches to CVBS As I got no issues with video output via hdmi and these crappy, tiny tv speakers are off usually, the distortion is no issue for me. So that means, the internal av-port could be "activated" via cheap & bad HDMI cable? I didn't test for long time, but is then sound via cvbs 3.5mm jack available again too?! That would be my perfect scenario: video via hdmi and sound via analogue internal 3.5mm jack-that would mean one usb available(1of2 is taken by keyboard always) for storage or other stuff because no usb sound is needed..

I try this and result is the same as that of martinayotte. After this i try install in emmc with script from Armbian_19.11.5_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.5.0-rc6_20200127 and get brick.

balbes150 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Posted February 14, 2020 ver 20200213 kernel 5.5 and NEXT (5.6) 1
Turgus Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 ..on other x96mini 2/16 Armbian_20.05.0-trunk_Arm-64_bionic_dev_5.6.0-rc1-next-20200214_desktop.img.xz runs & installs like it should, using as always ethernet and usb audio. Did no deeper comparison, but on first sight both versions(ver 20200213 kernel 5.5 and NEXT (5.6)) act and behave very similar, while 5.6 feels maybe somehow a part of a micro-second faster(or it is the other/newer revision of the pcb in this box!?)..

Turgus Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 ..you have to open a terminal on booted system and type: sudo /root/install-aml.sh for amlogic devices to install.

Turgus Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 ..hard to say-if no one has this specific version stored somewhere and can upload it(I always used desktop version, mostly bionic) you might have to use one of the newer images from yandexdisk archives..
lgranie Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Hi, just install Armbian_20.05.0-trunk_Arm64_bullseye_current_5.5.1_20200213.img.xz on x905x2 (x96max 4/32, aml g12a) : audio via toslink, ethernet, vfat on usb3 and video on HDMI OK. First time install on emmc. Reboot does not work every time : I have to put back the sdcard sometimes, boot on it and then reboot and remove the sdcard to boot on emmc again. Do I miss something?

igor_carenko Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 balbes150, I can't have permission to send private message The question is - what kind of u-boot i can flash into the X96 Android set-top box on the S905x processor in order to try to load armbian from eMMC? Thanks Spoiler P.S. Здравствуйте, это я писал этот же вопрос в личку на freaktab я так понимаю - дело в старом u-boot? Скрипт то устанавливает armbian в eMMC, но запускается система только из внешнего носителя, как и прежде без внешнего загрузочного носителя безконечный бутскрин X96... Хочеться поэкспериментировать
Sagittarius Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Great work !!! Running Armbian Focal with Linux 5.5.1-arm-64 on Dealdig-Boxd6 (clone of Beelink GT1 Ultimate). Just the eth0 does not work with the Amlogic Meson GXM (S912) Q201 dtb. I'll post elsewhere for that.
