NeoFrontier Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Please give me a link to the source code for this image. I would like to customize it and build it on my Ubuntu laptop for my TVBOX.

Tommy21 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 armbianmonitor -m doesn't check cpu temperatures anymore, it shows only cpu load and percentage? Is there a working command to check cpu temperatures?
dbsharpe Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 On 150balbes 4.18.0-rc5 Ubuntu images, for those with T95 (p200) AML tvbox using meson-gxbb-p201.dtb / 200 device tree file, there is a problem with wifi caused by an error with nvram firmware files. Problems manifests as wlan0 present but can't see any AP's. To fix, use mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt.old ln -s /lib/firmware/brcm/nvram_ap6330.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt in a shell on the target as root. Not sure where this Ubuntu distribution fault has crept in. nvram_ap6330.txt is actually the same file as android system:/etc/wifi/40183/nvram.txt and although not perfect, works better!
Novato Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 I have come to a final conclusion! My Mecool M8S Pro (S912), Mecool M8S Pro W (S905W) and M8S Plus W (S905W) devices can only run kernel versions 3.14.29 (5.37 - 5.44). I started the first boot on the M8S Pro and tested the other models. Unfortunately, I was unable to use Wi-Fi on the my M8S Pro, with the Wi-Fi LTM8830 chip. This chip is still not known by many, but the LTM8830 is a wireless LAN SDIO network interface device according to chipset maker Longsys. This module design is based on Qualcomm Atheros chipset QCA9377-3 is a single chip wireless network (WiFi) and Bluetooth, In other words, copy. Recently I found a solution for bluetooth and wi-fi errors on devices with this chip. Who created the fix was the Magendanz of FreakTabs. Errors can be found in ATV builds based on the All in One Shiningworth Firmware. Well, it was easy to fix, but here I have no idea how to do. WiFi Fix for LTM8830. Besides not reproducing the sound through the bluetooth headset, also was not able to play the sound through headphones connected to the AV input. Anyone interested in finding a solution to this I am willing to test, I would like to helper, but I do not understand anything about the development of distros.

balbes150 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Posted August 22, 2018 In VIM\VIM2 output temperature in "armbianmonitor -m" works.

dbsharpe Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 6 hours ago, Reddwarf said: But RC5 is obselete now, is this fixed in the final version? Yeah its a Ubuntu thing, not kernel. The brcmfmac4330-sdio.txt issue is with images using kernels 4.9.40 upwards and I've also checked 4.18.0. Only ever used Ubuntu images and the problem is upstream somewhere with https://github.com/150balbes/pkg-aml/blob/firmware-aml-20180213/ .

Novato Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Hello @Balbes150, I wonder if you are interested in implementing support for the Wi-Fi / Bluetooth chip LTM8830. As I use the system through the Monitor (without audio box) I end up running out of sound. But on the other hand I would like to know if I buy any WIFI and Bluetooth adapter, if they will work just like on the Windows computer or will it need some driver for generic devices?
Novato Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Just one more question ... Does my Mecool M8S Pro (Aml S912) come standard with a system built on Kernel 3.14.29, is there any chance that my Mecool M8S Pro will start the GUI with an image built on the Kernel 4.xx ? I made some tests, but just managed to run the UI with Kernel 3.14.29 images. I tested some with Kernel 4.18 but it did not start, it kept blinking some info at the moment it should start the GUI.

pedrito Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I'm using at this time the v5.41 with the kernel 3.14.29 for my Mecool K1 pro. I would like to install media_build but I can't compile it because the headers are too old and/or I don't have the full kernel source. The more recent versions don't include my device dtb and the default one (gxl_p230) makes the device unable to boot. I think I have more or less the same question than Novato.
hillz Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Guys I'm trying to install ubuntu 18.04 server on Tanix TX3 mini but I don't have a usb keyboard to login, so right now I'm stuck in the login console, how do I login and connect to my wifi automatically on boot ? Check out the screenshot below
chpasha Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 5 hours ago, hillz said: how do I login and connect to my wifi automatically on boot ? connect via ethernet, find out the ip on your router - they usually have device list, connect from different machine via ssh and do what you want to do (first registration, wifi setup, etc)
Constantin Piffer Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Hi, I need some help by choosing the right dtb file. I bought a "MAGICSEE N4 TV Box" and I installed armbian on the micro sd card. I try to boot with it, but the system isn't starting. I can see the boot process, but I never come to the point, where I can write the Username + Password. I think its a problem with the dtb file. There are a lot of files, but I don't find the right one. Do you have any ideas? Regards

Doens't say a lot of HW specs there, but have you tried the "p200" dtb? It is usually a safe choise....
