ARMBIAN for Amlogic S905 and S905X (ver 5.44 =<)

Forsage · January 19, 2017

Hi. I have a a95x s905x.I forget user password.How reset user password?

balbes150 · January 21, 2017

The test images. Assembled using the latest version of the build scripts. Please try to run these options and write out the result. I have suggested that in this type there will be problems with shutdown and start the system.

For those who want to use MATE instead of XFCE.

1. Run synaptic

2. To install MATE packages (mate-desktop-environment-extras)

3. To create the user directory file .xinitrc

4. Add the line "exec mate-session"

5. After restarting, automatically start a GUI MATE.

balbes150 · January 22, 2017

Tuned multiverse containing 5 desktop environments ICEWM XFCE, LXDE LXQT MATE.

Minimum media size of 4 GB. The user password is "user", "1", password "root", "1q2w3e4r".

By default, the system starts with MATE DE. To change the GUI you need to edit the file .xinitrc in the home directory of user "user".

Uncomment the line and comment out the current shell.

Request to those who try this system, write, run a different DE. Preferably, at least briefly to describe the speed of the graphical shells, indicating the model of the TV box (and brief parameters of iron). If possible, make a video recording of system response to user actions. It is important for me to understand what shell is better suited for systems with minimal resources. It is advisable to add screenshots of the output of the command "free -m" to the running shells.

Perhaps this information will be useful. There are instructions and screenshots of the graphical shells.

My apologies, I misspelled the password for root. The correct password "1q2w3e4r". I forgot that this is the finished image that I have already performed the initial setup and installation of DE. Another caveat. In this way there is NO automatic expansion of the partition. This must be done manually.

Image update kernel from Hardkernel. Armbian_5.24_Vegas95_Ubuntu (the Test directory) note that these images can only run on a S905. The images that will be able to work on s905x s912 will be later (need to significantly patch the kernel). Features images-3.14.79. Problems with WiFi and sound. To change the screen resolution, you need to use a certain procedure.

1. marking the desired resolution in the file /boot/vegas95_init.sh

2. insertion of the selected permission to the file s905_autoscript.cmd (instead of the current parameter setenv m= " ")

3. Precompiled script autostart system s905_autoscript. In this-you can select any standard solution available.

command

# mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -d s905_autoscript.cmd s905_autoscript

The existing problems are not working properly shutdown the TV box. After switching off, to enable, disable the power supply from the network.

As Docker is in the network repo Ubuntu, removed from the Assembly the old binaries. In-3.14.79 has support for Docker. Anyone can install it and use in this manner.

--------------------- translation user Shimon -----------------

Here's the promised translation:

1. Look inside the /boot/vegas95_init.sh script:

Here's a sample:

https://github.com/1...vegas95_init.sh

2. Find the desired resolution.

For example, 1024x768p60hz

https://github.com/1...s95_init.sh#L70

3. Replace the current value of the (setenv m) parameter in the /boot/s905_autoscript.cmd file with the new one.

For example, the current value

https://github.com/1...as95_720.cmd#L2

setenv m "720p60hz"

needs changing to

setenv m "1024x768p60hz"

4. recompile the binary version of the s905_autoscript with:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -d s905_autoscript.cmd s905_autoscript

On next reboot the selected resolution wil be used.

Be sure to choose an exact value from the available list in vegas95_init.sh. Do not include the *) part.

Image update kernel from Hardkernel

Installed it on my Beelink MiniMX3 (Amlogic S905), and it is working very well. I primarily use these boxes as Plex and Emby servers and it does that very well. Of course, these boxes do not have enough computing power to do any transcoding on the fly.

Edit: Verified audio does not work, did not test WiFi.

What do you mean by overlocking ?

â€‹Remember the Amlogic/DVFS â€‹2.0 GHZ debacle?

â€‹You mentioned hardkernel's kernel which bumped the frequency to 1.6GHz:

Hi, is there any terminal command to check cpu temperatures, without installing additional software, i am using 16.04 Mate DE?

Hi, is there any terminal command to check cpu temperatures, without installing additional software, i am using 16.04 Mate DE?

armbianmonitor -m

if you use armbian based image.

or

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

balbes150 · January 27, 2017

You can add a loop, for example as indicated in this thread, with the selected interval, and you can monitor the temperature in the terminal or the console UART.

while true; do sleep 1; cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp ; done

Hi Balbes150. Can you help me to install on eMMC?.

TIA,

Prakash

balbes150 · January 27, 2017

Which version You want to install ?

What TV box (model) ?

asprakash · January 28, 2017

I am using your latest image, S9xxx_4G_ICEWM_MATE_XFCE_LXDE_LXQT_20170122.img.xz

My box is MXQPRO 4K, Amlogic S905 processor.

balbes150 · January 28, 2017

This image was not tested for performance in eMMC. Most likely when you try to install to eMMC will be brick. They need to make changes in the scripts, kernel and initrd.

asprakash · January 28, 2017

Ok, May I know which image has been tested with emmc install?.

balbes150 · January 28, 2017

Fixes for the version with multi-GPU environment (5 DE).

1. For proper operation of the automatic gain control CPU frequency you must replace the file with the kernel zImage on the first partition (FAT).

2. To use the installation mode of this image to the internal memory. You must copy the file "fw_env.config" in the /etc directory. Replace the /root directory file "install.sh" and file "linux.img" to fixed. The new version of the file can be downloaded from the directory on the website "FIX" the link.

Notice for normal operation of the sound you need to use the dtb files from the image (dtb directory). System can normally be started without file "dtb.img" in the first section, but the sound may not work. In this case, you need to check the system with manually copying the correct file.

https://yadi.sk/d/i8mKgFEi3BW24i

Also updated the test images. Please to those who have the opportunity to test the latest test images to the subject of the work of autoregulatory CPU frequency. To do this, run in terminal as root "armbianmonitor -m" and start playback of the test video file (to expand it to full screen). It is advisable to test in two modes 720 and 1080 . The smoothness of the playback is not interested, the main thing is to evaluate the performance of the automatic gain control of CPU frequency and temperature.

I installed this version yesterday (had it installed before) S9xxx_4G_ICEWM_MATE_XFCE_LXDE_LXQT_20170122, and got it setup on my Amlogic S905X box, as my Plex and Emby server and it is working well. How ever it keeps showing that there are 50 updates to install, but it won't install them. I have tried several times, with different commands. I was running this version when it first came out and had no problem updating the upgrades.

balbes150 · January 28, 2017

To use this update with caution, it is possible to obtain destruction of the system.

I need DVB support, how can I recompile the kernel with it? Also in my Beelink MiniMXIII II (s905x, 2 GB ram) wifi doesn't works, but no problem for me I always use ethernet cable.

Did you try...

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

... ?

Yesterday a friend came by and asked me to demonstrate to him, my MiniM8S box
running Balbes150 ubuntu image from SDCARD. So i did. After a few happy minutes
he asked me to demonstrate to him LibreELEC running from the same box but from
internal 8GB memory. So i shutted down the box, pulled out power adapted and
SDCARD with ubuntu, and put the power adapter back so the box it will boot in
LibreELEC. Then my friend noticed that the cables was a mess, and pulled out
the power adapter while LibreELEC was booting, untangled it, and put it back.
Well... the emmc got broken and the box didn't boot anymore to LibreELEC.
Luckily it was booting fine to Ubuntu Xenial from SDCARD, and i had a backup
from my emmc with LibreELEC from when i was creating my dd_backup script.
I run the script, did it's magic and LibreELEC was back in life in 30 minutes,
with all my configurations and plugins in place.

The image as you can see in the
screenshot was compressed (what you cannot see is that is 221.5 MB instead of 8 GB)
but this was not a problem for my box.

I spend a few more hours configuring some more my MiniM8S, and right now that is completely fine-tuned i'm taking a fresh backup.

Hi,

i consider installing armbian on one of my s905x boxes (tomato x96 or m8s ii). I just don't want it on an external storage but internally on the emmc.

How can this be achieved ?

I already have libreelec on them maybe that makes it easier ?

balbes150 · January 30, 2017

What are the parameters in the internal memory (size of partitions) ?

What is the image You want to use to install to the internal memory ?
