Have you tried following the instructions in the FAQ for installation?

I tried but, i don't know what to download and what version is for me!!!

I don't know what you are looking for.  First off are you more comfortable with debian or ubuntu? Then are you looking for a desktop (gui) or are you command line focused?  Based on your needs the appropriate build should be obvious.

Hi @SteeMan,  I don't mind , i only care if its Linux or not 😅, desktop vertsion because i will have some services running !!! 

 

Sorry for late response! 😥

[SteeMan]

In the link provided above to the instructions, there are two desktop builds (the ones names *desktop*).  bullseye is debian, focal is ubuntu.

@SteeMan xz or sha image? i will take bullseye in desktop image

sha contains the checksum for the image which you can validate locally.

[Max Sterg]

@Wernerso i download both images! 

 

[SteeMan]

The .xz file is the image.  The .sha file is the checksum.  I think you should google and learn about the purpose and use of checksums, to understand what the .sha file is for.

@SteeMan , i have a trouble about extlinux.conf file, i don't know what dtb is my tv box , but with a little research i figured that my tv  box has a RK3228A, 28nm Quad core Cortex A7, which means it doesn't include the exactly dtb file for my tv box to boot.... so, any ideas? 

 

Thanks for the help guys ❤

@Max Sterg If your box has a rockchip 3228 then you are in the wrong forum.  This forum is for boxes with amlogic cpus.  You should look at the following forum:  https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12656-csc-armbian-for-rk322x-tv-boxes

 The first post has the instructions on how to install on a rk3228 tv box.
