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

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

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?

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.

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 ...

Sure, i can do that.

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.

Hi, with debian on s905x hardware acceleration is working?

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.

Ah ok, I asked why test.mp4 and test1.mp4 videos are jerky...

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.

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.

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.

Is there a place to see changelog from your armbian images?

There are no big changes, only bug fixes.

These images are NOT intended for full video playback. For this is LE. Is a desktop or server system to replace conventional PCs.

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

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 :D ) 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.

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.

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

i dont know about air mouse, but you can setup the keyboard in /etc/default/keyboard
perhaps, you need to find the correct setting in there.

perhaps, if the airmouse worked in libreelec, you can find the keyboard setup from libreelec and copy it to Armbian.
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...
