Evolveo H4-4k and Q5-4k with 20.10 focal 5.9.0

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!
