incendio Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 Hi guys, I am new here. I have a generic board powered by armlogic 905x. I have installed armbian on this board with this image : Armbian_21.08.1_Amlogic-GXL_bullseye_current_5.10.60.img.xz. Everything went OK, I could ssh the server, but when let server idle for about an hour, I couldn't ssh again, ping also didn't work, seem like server went on sleep mode. How to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

SteeMan Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 @incendio First off, what board or box are you working with. Saying 'generic board' doesn't help us help you. Each board will have different hardware and thus require differing help. Then where did you get the build you referenced? And finally what instructions/steps did you use to install.
incendio Posted October 10, 2022 Author Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) It is an Android TV box provided by Internet Provider in my Country. They called it 'Fiberhome' HG860P. It has an eMMC and micro sdcard reader and has capability for multi boot out of the box. On eMMC, installed Android TV ver 6. I got referenced from Youtube, build an image to a micro sdcard and just plugged it to the box. Armbian runs OK, LAN OF, WIFI OK, SSH OK, except for when I left it idle for about an hour or so, I couldn't SSH again, but ping worked OK. Connection to box made via LAN and WIFI. Have to turn it OFF and ON again to made it worked again. Edited October 10, 2022 by incendio

Without knowing what code you are trying to install and what steps you did during your install, we can't help. We need to know what you have and what you have done.
incendio Posted October 10, 2022 Author Posted October 10, 2022 What do you mean I didn't answer your questions? I told you, I got it from Youtube, here is the link to that image : https://disk.yandex.com/d/SLWV8RnEV0Hzkg/Amlogic%20GXL And steps to install it is nothing, just burn the image to micro sd card, and plug it into the box and it ran OK.

I have no idea where the build you used came from, but it isn't anything I am aware of. Please read the following two TV Box FAQ posts: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus
incendio Posted October 10, 2022 Author Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I tried this link from the forum you posted. https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/arm-64/ Link is dead. And this link : https://yadi.sk/d/_rQgn_FosYuW0g/20.10/20201014 There's no armbian image on this link. Edited October 11, 2022 by incendio
incendio Posted October 13, 2022 Author Posted October 13, 2022 Problem solved! Armbian ran for hour without lost connection. I don't know which steps that fix that problem. I did these steps (the order didn't remember) 1. ran apt update 2. ran apt upgrade -> caused an error, had to turn off power then turn on again, then ran dpkg --configure -a to fix this error 3. set ip to static 4. turn off wifi 5. run web server on this server There is still a small problem, couldn't reboot server via software, had to shutdown, turn power off, then turn power on again.

So for now there are no unofficial builds for amlogic tv boxes. I'm hoping that changes soon.

Expand My experience is that this is fixed in later kernels. If I recall correctly this started working correctly in 5.0.18 (could be 5.0.19). I'm hoping to get some new builds based on current kernels made available.
