Astr4y4L Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 wow, yandisk still not working? did anyone mirror the builds? i want to get the new one from dir/TEST debian with desktop.any help plz?
namdas Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Hello! I installed Armbian_5.26_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_server_20170303.img to a generic S905x tv box that calls itself a 'QcoCe Z11' and it almost works perfectly. My main issue is I am only getting audio from the HDMI out, not from the analog outputs I am using for speakers around the house. This is what I get from aplay -l and -L **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: AMLM8AUDIO [AML-M8AUDIO], device 0: I2S.39 T9015-audio-hifi-0 [] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: AMLM8AUDIO [AML-M8AUDIO], device 1: SPDIF.40 dit-hifi-1 [] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: AMLM8AUDIO [AML-M8AUDIO], device 2: PCM.41 pcm2bt-pcm-2 [] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 sysdefault:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO AML-M8AUDIO, Default Audio Device dmix:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=0 AML-M8AUDIO, Direct sample mixing device dmix:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=1 AML-M8AUDIO, Direct sample mixing device dmix:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=2 AML-M8AUDIO, Direct sample mixing device dsnoop:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=0 AML-M8AUDIO, Direct sample snooping device dsnoop:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=1 AML-M8AUDIO, Direct sample snooping device dsnoop:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=2 AML-M8AUDIO, Direct sample snooping device hw:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=0 AML-M8AUDIO, Direct hardware device without any conversions hw:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=1 AML-M8AUDIO, Direct hardware device without any conversions hw:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=2 AML-M8AUDIO, Direct hardware device without any conversions plughw:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=0 AML-M8AUDIO, Hardware device with all software conversions plughw:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=1 AML-M8AUDIO, Hardware device with all software conversions plughw:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=2 AML-M8AUDIO, Hardware device with all software conversions But if I run alsamixer I only have one volme control, for DAC Digital, the other outputs (audio spdif, audio i2s, ext spk) all will only allow me to mute/unmute. Does anyone know how to enable analog audio out? Thanks
Nofan Tasi Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 20170303 kernel does not crash indeed when going over 70 thermal trip ! Congratulations.
Starvirus Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 did someone got the osmc from the vero 4k running on a different device or the kodi packages from there at least, since it seems to be based on armbian as well?
balbes150 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 @xXx I have a suggestion. Make the script dd_backup_x change, what would the script check in the root of the media directory /ddbr (if not created) and put the backup in that directory. This is to ensure that when you installed to the internal memory, this directory is NOT copied to eMMC.
Astr4y4L Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Well .. latest debian xfce. And is working. The media player hung immediately. Had to pull power plug to shutdown. Apt-get remove --purge mpv. Apt-get install vlc.. about to see if that works for me.. hope for success ...
balbes150 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 For video playback you need to use Ubuntu. It better support multimedia.
mmss Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Hi, with debian on s905x hardware acceleration is working? Thanks for your work
Astr4y4L Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 As suggested.... FOR BETTER VIDEO PLAYBACK... Will move to Ubuntu .... thanks balbes150,

I'm a bit short of time these days, but at some point (hopefully soon) i'll post a new script with all the changes.

Then one other suggestion, add the option to create a copy of the first 3.5 GB of internal memory (not total memory). Most firmware in its original state beyond these limits. Therefore, to restore enough to make a copy of the first 3.5 GB.

xXx Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 The new backup/restore script is ready and tested. Not a new script really, just some usefull additions. Some proof here You can download it from here All the changes are in the script's comments as usual. Hope it helps. 3
balbes150 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 17 hours ago, xXx said: The new backup/restore script is ready and tested. Found a small bug in the script when checking free space. If free space is less than the total size of the internal memory, the work stops. But this is not correct, to create the compressed copy can be quite much less space. While disabled interrupt the script in this parameter, there is only a warning.
balbes150 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 Update images 20170309. Added files firmware. Added updated script dd_backup_x.

But this is not correct, to create the compressed copy can be quite much less space. While disabled interrupt the script in this parameter, there is only a warning. If the script allow the user with less space to continue, and then the user choose uncompessed backup by mistake, the system will hang. I could update the script to allow only compressed backup if the free is less than EMMC size, but again... you cannot predict the compessed size of the final backup ( depends of the compressibility of user's files ) and a hang can happen again. So i decided to leave it as is, for safety. If someone has to take a backup, it is better to use a USB/SDCARD that have space.
Tommy21 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Is there a place to see changelog from your armbian images?

What do You mean under the expression "no apt-get". The system has Synaptic for graphical package installation. apt-get also works.

xXx Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 @balbes150 Sorry to annoy you again, but i have a little question for you: Do i need to have the original android firmware in my MiniM8S box for the installation to EMMC to be successful? I tried 7 times yesterday with your latest ubuntu mate image, and although everything went well ( no errors ) the system was not able to boot after installation. I finally manage to brick my system, and the pin sorting method was mandatory ( again ) in order to bring it back to life. I must tell you that every time i tried installation to EMMC, i had LibreELEC on it. And yes, i removed many packages before attempting the installation, to a point where the used space is only 2.6G I'm trying to run the OS from EMMC, in order to improve dd_backup_x script in every situation . @everyone Has anyone managed to successfuly install ubuntu mate to internal EMMC in MiniM8S (not II) ??? If yes, how?

I have Mini M8S with S905, but i still waiting for this Armbian to capable of playing Video smooth and a stable Firefox. Right now i still using Odroid C2 Ubuntu Mate 16.04 but at SD Card. btw, i have been brick my MiniM8S but i never know if there a method to pin short , i just use SD Card with spesial image. can you show me the link how to do the pin shot method, just for my reference if i bricked again in the future.
etona Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Tnx for answer. I know that apt-get work ok, i just dont know find this - on my tronsmart airmouse. Other keyboard have old jack, no usb... For video, I have libreelec, and look for some option that change android, becouse android is touchscreen os. Something like normal ubuntu, on a normal pc, (with kodi, libre ofice, vlc, firefox, and something like paint) . I yust dont wanna buy a new pc... And 32" is a great monitor for me...This armbian is very good, in solution, when, kodi and video work corect. Can we hope in a future, stable kodi and video, on armbian? Better find something other, for egsample, ubuntu for khadas vim? Sory for english, i am croat.
mdel Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) @balbes150 i'm testing your Armbian_5.26_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_server_20170302.img image on my nexbox a95x (s905) i'm using the gxbb_p200.dtb it boots fine, everything looks okay but for some reason i can't get anything from the ethernet port, wlan0 was up and iwlist scanning is ok but i disabled it as i'm not using wifi. eth0 link is up, but dhcp won't work, my /etc/network/interfaces is set up and used at boot (i removed networking.manager) it's probably some xenial configuration i don't know about or missed but i'm wondering if it could be something wrong with that dtb file, i will test other dtbs later, but i'd like to use my original box dtb. I know you have to rebuild the dts file against the new kernel version but i can't try to do that at the moment. So i'd like to know if you could do it for me and which files you'd need (i think i have the boot block from android, the extracted dtb and decompiled dts, from previous experiments) thx -- edit -- networking works with gxbb_p201.dtb Edited March 12, 2017 by mdel

CMIIW. I Use My Android TV Box Mini M8S with my 32" Samsung TV, i use it for everyday use, like browsing and watch video with vlc, althoug i cannot make it full screen. it have kodi, and it can go to Fullscreen, but not stable.... i try to play Doreamon Movie after playing for around 1 hour, it make the Kodi crash but the Video still playing, and after kodi crash i cannot control it, i have to wait until the video finished to go back to desktop.... sory for my bad english too.... this not my native language... 1
