First off I want to point you to the following TV Box FAQ item: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first

The most important information there is that TV Boxes are not supported by the Armbian project.

Second, there is this other FAQ item: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus

The most important thing here is that there is no one in the community currently working on amlogic support for TV Boxes, so the latest build is from Oct 2020.  Obviously that build predates the release of the x905x4 cpu by amlogic.  I don't know of anyone that has tried to see if the old build (that supported the s905x2 and generally worked on the s905x3) would work on a newer s905x4 box.  My guess is that it won't work until upstream amlogic maintainers incorporate refererence design dtb files into mainline kernel and someone around here creates a build that incorporates those upstream changes.

If you are adventurous, you could give it a try with the current build using the s905x3 reference dtb:  meson-sm1-sei610.dtb
