mdel Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 @balbes150 different question : did you test the latest 4.10 kernel with amlogic support (s905 and others) ? only for a server image i imagine as there's no mali driver yet.
xXx Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 @sukanime First of all, thanks for your answer. MiniM8S with balbes150 ubuntu mate images runs very stable. I'm using it for my everyday work, and never had a problem for about 3 months now. Video playback is not very pleasant, but for my needs are OK. I don't watch many videos, and when i do, i can live mpv's somewhat poor performance. A 3.5 WATT desktop is what i wanted, and for this, i can forgive some performance issues. Now about the pin shorting method you will need: 1) The original ANDROID firmware for the box 2) A USB MALE to USB MALE cable of good quality. 3) A thick needle or some other metallic object. 4) USB image writer tool from manufacturer. 5) You need to open the box to gain access to AmLogic chip's pins. This method is not easy, and is dangerous too. You need this method only if you have really bricked the device. If the device can still boot from USB or SDCARD there is NO NEED for this method. Some info can be found here and a video here For many people the pin shorting is not needed, if windows sees the box when you connect it via the USB cable. Then you only need AmLogic USB Burning tool, firmware, and a Windows machine. Unfortunatelly for me, that never was the case. I always have to short pin 18 and 19 ( if i remember correctly ) for windows to idendify the tvbox when connected to USB, and play the "magic" sound.
Nofan Tasi Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 @mdel I tried 4.10 (own built from default config) but it would not show anything on HDMI screen. In gentoo arm64 forum someone says mainline kernel support for normal usage may come with 4.12 ... Not sure what other people experiences are.

Expand I use Ubuntu Odroid C2 based from Koxx , i just recompile kernel to add Sound and Wifi support, i have run it for around 3 month too... it's very stable except when using Kodi. Low Power to save electricity bill is my first consent, because i use it for downloading youtube with app called youtube-dl so its run 24 hour, its make realy nice to have this Mini M8S. some times i do Picture Editing with Gimp and Inkscape... but just small picture... because it use alot of RAM. i hope in the future there will be a cheaps Android TV (as cheaps MiniM8S) thats can run Ubuntu and have 4GB RAM, so i can use it for editing Bigger Picture with Gimp and Inkscape . OMG, thats tutorial..... its not for me, i dont want to open the Box and i dont have Windows Os, i dont have the money to buy it, and i already fall in love with Gnu/Linux. You right, but thanks i will bookmark it. Perhaps there will be the time i need it. The method i use is this tutorial http://www.stane1983.com/index.php/2014/02/22/how-to-create-amlogic-recovery-sd-card-from-linux/ Thanks a lot...

Daniel Kukuła Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 After booting armbian on myamilogic s905 mini m8s tv box the image is stripped, it looks like some lines are not synchronized and I have 2 screens side by side with half of the lines. It does not matter if its graphical or text mode. I tried it on a 4k tv and hdmi to vga converter. When I boot original android or libreelec there's no problems so it must be some software problem. dbt file I use is gxbb_p200_2g. I tried also with the original one extracted from android but it won't boot
Shimon Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 That probably means you're using the universal 3.14.29 kernel whereas the original dtb's are supposed to work with 3.14.79 Vega kernel for S905 devices. But yeah, definitely a bug as both types of images work fine on my S905 based boxes.

I tried 7 times yesterday with your latest ubuntu mate image, and although everything went well ( no errors ) the system Expand Most likely You have a TV box is using an outdated version of NAND flash memory. To support it you need to manually rebuild initrd (which is included with the linux.img in the /boot directory). You need to get the system to load the module for NAND right at the start of the initrd. I was told that I was sent a few samples of a TV with a similar type of memory. When they arrive, I can test and debug the installation process of this kind of memory. 1

xXx Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 A new version of the backup script ( and hopefully the final version, if no bugs found ). There are many improvements in this version, and is well tested ( by me, and in my box only ). The script is reimagined and redesigned from top to bottom. The most notable changes are: backup and restore is now separated ( if you just want to restore it won't stop you in low space scenario ) forcing compressed mode backup in low space scenarios ( at your own risk afted some warnings ) the script now accepts an argument for backup/restore to/from another mounted drive. cleaner code as the script have become very complex color changes for better compatibility with white background terminals ( mate default scheme ). the list goes on and on, but all the changes are in the script's comments. Some info can be seen here and here The script can be downloaded from here The code can be seen below Reveal hidden contents #!/bin/bash # Author: xXx # Purpose: Automate the process of backing up internal storage. # Date: 4 Jan 2017 20:22:00 EET ############################################################################### # Update: 5 Jan 2017 19:48:00 EET # # Reason: Added support for when the user have started his machine # # from USB.
