But it's not just the DTB file we need but the kernel mod also. Strangely I am unable to view my message on this forum now.

What can I say!

Thought Linux was in spirit based on GPL or MIT license. Was not aware the dtb definitions could be proprietary. I see most of them in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic May be I am truly missing something! -R

He doesn't have a S905X3 so doesn't support it. There are seperate threads for this model. We should look into Balbes getting a S905X3 so he would be able/willing to support it. @balbes150 you may have one next week if you want so, it is a good SoC. Tho I don't like that sd isn't priority and it doesn't have gigabit ethernet. At least it works at 1.9Ghz without overheating much.

This has been discussed many times in different threads. @balbes150 has chosen not to support this (and likely future Amlogic) chips due to the fact that Amlogic doesn't provide support and access to source code for their chips to the community. He finds that his limited time is better spent on cpus from manufacturers that are more willing to work with the community. It is his decision on how he contributes his time as a volunteer. Anyone else is more than welcome to pick up the ball and volunteer to better support the s905x3. I will also say that balbes150 also does take offense when being called lazy when he doesn't work on some particular user's issue, as was insinuated in a recent post that was deleted. (I'm not sure that post was the one being mentioned in this thread, but it was a post in the x905x3 thread that I read earlier today that is now no longer there).

I need to correct my last statement, as the post I was referring to was not deleted: "is to lazy to help any of us with the same problem ". But I will still say that balbes150 is offended by language like this. Everyone needs to realize that Armbian on Android TV boxes (especially balbes150's builds) are not supported by the Armbian project. And particularly the s905x3 cpu isn't supported by even balbes150. Posting in these forums demands for support or calling others lazy for not providing support isn't in the spirit of the armbian community. We all wish there was better support of mainline linux on all of these boxes, but without active support by the device manufacturers that isn't a reality. The volunteers here do the best they can (and they do some amazing things when you think about it). 1

English is probably not balbes150 native language and he is using a translator. "Hijacked" would be a better translation, your post is off topic in that thread.

balbes150 Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 You can use any system, this is your own business, but I delete all messages where links are given or elements are discussed (what and how it works etc) on corelec. I have good reasons for this, but I won't explain anything to anyone. If you are not satisfied with this, you not use ArmbianTV. p/s/ I think this discussion can be closed. 1

That being said I am more then willing to take a fair stab at helping on getting proper support for it. I am no newbie at coding and anyone is more then welcome to google my name to just see my background in code languages, Scott Grayban. Is there a common thread to help newcomers to the android compiling kernel modules here?
Werner Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 5 hours ago, sgrayban said: Is there a common thread to help newcomers to the android compiling kernel modules here? I have my doubts since Armbian does not deal with Android at all. Maybe you can find an older thread using search but nothing especially dedicated to that AFAIK.
