Hello balbes150,

 

I would like to thank you for your work.

I have an Inphic SPOT i5 S805 without USB port (well, it had micro-USB at first but this port fell down litterally, due to really bad soldering).

 

With the files you provided and the comment both on this topic and the one from freaktab forum ( http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/amlogic-based-tv-players/s805/others-ab/534054-inphic-spot-i5-s805-media-player ), I've managed to install and make run Ubuntu Xenial Server (Armbian_5.32_S805_Ubuntu_xenial_3.10.33_server_20170821.img).


It works, thanks ! :)


This little box will now be dedicated to some networked tasks. For the moment I've installed Pi-Hole to get an Ad-blocker for my whole private network. 

 

There are some alerts that hostname service doesn't work but here is a manual fix : https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/1949#issuecomment-315020684

Do you know if there is any plan to release an image with mainline kernel for this box ?

Hello can anyone explain me what does this two scripts do  -> s805_autoscript  and aml_autoscript 

aml_autoscript - enables multi-upload (one time procedure).

s805_autoscript script that starts the system from removable media, taking into account the particularities of each system.

Image update S805 20180112.

Updated kernel to version 3.10.99. Added screen mode 1080p. This mode is enabled by default. To switch to 720p you need to edit first line of script /boot/hdmi.sh. For smooth playback of test video I recommend to reduce the window size of the reproduced video to the size that would have enough system resources for smooth video playback.

Hello balbes150, you last image works a lot better then the previous one.  Although my wifi is not working, but now it boot's a lot faster and sounds works.  I'm on a mk808b plus and the needed dtb is M201-1G.

please suggest any method to install aml_autoscript from usb flash drive . I have tried https://yadi.sk/d/c9kY4tuLuPF3Y/v04

and i have ended with  "E:footer is wrong  ; signature verification failed"

 

ps: I don;t need to multiboot ( i need to install armbian to nand  and no need to keep android)

There are only two options 1. With SD card in automatic mode 2. From the console UART in the manual you can run all the commands from any media (SD or USB).

Have you tried to load the WiFi module ?

i guess  there is something wrong with my s805_autoscript ?? ( i have waited for more then 30min and nothing outputs)  Also i have burned this image on my flash drive and i have copy paste meson8b_m201_1G.dtb  to the root dir as   dtb.img

Hi All, I hope someone can help me here, I have Armbian_5.37_S805_Ubuntu_xenial_3.10.99_server_20180112.img running on my MXQ box and installed all dev tools to build crypto coins but when I try to build one the system freezes and I have to reboot to get it working again, I would like to run the crypto coin deamon on the mxq but can't get it to build, it's seems like its running out of ram to build the project.

 

Regards,

Andy.

The system hangs on reading uImage from a USB drive. Try to stop the launch in the console UART and execute manually the command "printenv" and "help". The result show here.

I have also tried to setup zram but I get the following :-

 

sudo modprobe zram
modprobe: FATAL: Module zram not found in directory /lib/modules/3.10.99

 

Please Help.

and these are the commands i execute from  UART:

 

defenv

if fatload usb 3 11000000 s805_autoscript; then autoscr 11000000; fi;"
setenv start_autoscript 'if usb start; then run start_usb_autoscript; fi; '
setenv bootcmd 'run start_autoscript; run storeboot'
setenv reboot_mode normal

Connect the flash drive with Armbian (don't forget to add correct dtb file) and run the UART in the console these commands.

 

usb start

fatload usb 0 11000000 aml_autoscript

autoscr 11000000

 

The execution result of the show here.

Here is the output  link  i havent tried with other dtb images but i guess meson8b_m201_1G.dtb  should be mine i have tried  dtb for m201 on Libreelec and it works  also i have copied the meson8b_m201_1G.dtb   from the dtb folder in the provided image.

The log shows that the file is loaded (but the download is too slow) and the engine is running.

Try to start the system manually. Using different dtb.

Try checking two options (with different data for the used RAM).

 

1.  options

 

usb start

setenv condev "console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0"

setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw ${condev} fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 mac=${mac}"

fatload usb 0 0x14000000 uImage

fatload usb 0 0x15000000 uInitrd

fatload usb 0 0x11800000 dtb.img

fdt addr 0x11800000

bootm 0x14000000 0x15000000 0x11800000

 

 

2. options

 

usb start

setenv condev "console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0"

setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw ${condev} fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 mac=${mac}"

fatload usb 0 0x21000000 uImage

fatload usb 0 0x22000000 uInitrd

fatload usb 0 0x21800000 dtb.img

balbes150 thank you very much for your help . I have finally managed to install armbian on s805 . I have burned armbian on another flash drive and it has booted much faster unfortunately it stucked on Starting kernel ...  After that i have changed the dtb . Now it boots Ok

Where can I get linux-headers for this 3.10.99 version?

My reason is, that I will probably need aml_i2c.ko driver, which is not unfortunately in modules...

So I hope I will be able build the driver alone.

Hi, i have one question.

 

Can you explain why armbian is not able to boot just using the right dtb.img like would do Libreelec or Lakka?

(i was only able to launch the distribution launching first an update with the aml zip file)

 

Thanks,

Trulio

I don't understand your question. Write much detail, what steps you perform.
