Pito Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Hi, I came across two similar TV boxes - "Evolveo H4 4k" and "Evolveo Q5 4k" - and found this great Armbian site! Thanks for your great work guys! I set my expectation low and tried with latest "Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0". The H4 seems to be an S905/p212 2GB/16GB (not sure whether w/ 1Gb lan) board and it boots here with selected: uboot-s905 and FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb (set in extlinux.conf) The Q5 seems to be an S905/p200 2GB/8GB board (lan w/ 1Gb) and it boots here with selected uboot-s905 and FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-p200.dtb or FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-vega-s95-telos.dtb (I added into extlinux.conf). I've been using lan connection via ssh (putty) only. I flashed a 16GB card with the img and I used the toothpick reset method with the first boot. It worked and now it boots ubuntu when the sdcard is inserted in. I do not see any menu or any graphical output during the boot, only a standard text output with all OK during the boot. It is my current understanding the above distro does not include any graphical environment. I even installed the xubuntu with xcfe on it - it works "basically" (incl. my usb radio mouse connected). The amlogic's ver 20.10 5.9.0 is the last one afaik - does it mean those images will be still stored there in the future? Will the sources be available somewhere? Thanks!
