Thank you If you can see the partitions on the nand with GParted (under Linux) you should have a fair chance to install on nand. If not you will only accomplish to ruin your Andriod system like on most 905 boxes where it does not work.

pedrito Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Hello, I would be interested to use a S905 box to monitor DVB-T and DVB-T2 activity. Is the DVB part fully works after installing Armbian ? I see that the DVB drivers are not part of media-build and I would like to use the DVBv5 tools

I have download the armbian file and I have install it on my SD card with win32disk after I have take the dtb file for mxq pro and renamed it in dtb.img. I reboot the box in recovery but she don't boot on Linux. I select update from ext and I see aml-autoscript.zip but doesn't work and i've got error E:cannot load volum /misc Tanks

Reddwarf Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Just now, ennoente said: which version for S905 is with Kodi? You can install the full KODI on any of the Armbian releases, just select the version which works best on your box (wifi working, sound working etc). The embedded kodi on some of the images is a stripped version (as far as I understand) so you'r probably better off installing the full version.

Ray Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 If someone managed to get WiFi working on MXQ Pro 4k 1/8 (S905w) - please, share your experience. p.s. I've tried Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Debian_stretch_3.14.29_xfce_20180721 - successfull booting, but no WiFi.

I have work .... Look for s905X or S905D. These chips already have partial support for HW in the main core. The developers of the community LibrELEC working on getting a full HW for KODI on the basis of core "4.1x". By the way, if there are those who want to support their work, it can significantly speed up the appearance of HW in the main kernel. I've tried most of the balbes150 Armbian images (mainly Ubuntu server) on a 'q-box' s905x android TV box (p212) and they all work (I've only tried at a superficial level). I've returned the q-box as the seller lied about the hw spec. Here are some observations which may help others having issues getting started. 1. Use the largest SD card you can so that the image fits on the boot media. 2. After writing the sd card (under linux I use xzcat -d -c ARMBIAN.img.xz | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0), check both sd card partitions by mounting. You may need to e2fsck or resize2fs partition 2 (mmcblk0p1). 3. Under androud, 'reboot update' will boot from sd card (or reboot recovery, toothpic etc). Try all the /dtb files (you can determine your board type by looking in the android /system/build.prop file for the ro.product. entry). Even if the screen does not work, its possible the Ethernet port is working or a USB keyboard ctrl-alt-del may reboot. Check your DHCP server/broadband router logs to see if a lease has been obtained and try shell access via SSH. 4. In between each dtb file, check the file system on the sdcard is not corrupt and still mounts. If your TV box still has stock android recovery, get TWRP recovery S905_TWRP3_ViT.zip fromhttp://alielectronics.net/2017/04/05/x96-android-tv-box-4k-s905x-2gb-ram-16gb-rom-android-6-0/ and run it from 'apply update from EXT'. This is a stand alone TWRP recovery without flashing and has a command prompt (shell) menu option to help you check the sd card without moving it between machines.

It seems this box can have either AP6181 wifi chip or Realtec chip (in which case the 7123 driver should work. You can tyr google for a linux driver for these chipa and try both and see if any of them works.
Ray Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks! As it turned out, TV box has SSV6051 chip. Writing this already from Armbian. 1

According to the instructions both files should be in the writable image you downloaded, did you not find them on the sdcard after writing the image on it?

chessplayer Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Hi guys, Armbian 5.44 with the 3.14.29 kernel is running quite well on my MeCool M8S Pro W box. In fact, there is just one issue, which is a bit annoying: the MAC address is "somewhat" random, meaning taht apparently after leaving it turned off for a while, the MAC address changes slightly (and in any case, it is very different from the one the box normally has (LibreELEC, Android Custom ROM, printed on the label ...)). As I mentioned a little further up, my device tree is taken from a CoreELEC SD card, which should be the same as the one to be found here for the 2GB version. According to this post, the dtb could be the problem, but that is the one I have. Therefore, I tried both of the following in /etc/network/interfaces: pre-up macchanger -m 00:ac:3f:75:c0:ff eth0 iface eth0 hwaddress ether 00:ac:3f:75:c0:ff But to no avail - it remains at 00:ac:2f:78:c0:ff and will probably become something else when I let the box rest for a few days. Any ideas how to overcome this issue? Thanks in advance and Cheers, chessplayer
