To determine the cause of the error, you need the UART console. Without it, it is unclear where the problem is. On 6/16/2018 at 6:22 PM, KimLee said: Ok thank you.

balbes150 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Does anyone have the ability to help with not a big check of running the system Yocto (kernel 4.17) from external media (SD and USB) on models of TV boxes with s905 ? (ideal for running the test - the presence of an activated universal multiboot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smaso Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Hi, I'm trying to install linux on my mxqpro android tvbox (s905x) but I've got it working just when booted from usb, even if I'm trying to install it on the internal memory. I've tried both Quote nand-sata-install and Quote sudo /root/install.sh but none of them worked, as the screen stays black for over 10 minutes, but it keeps booting from usb. I've tried using the image Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_3.14.29_mate_20180601.img.xz as it's written that kernel 4.16 doesn't support eMMC memory. How can I get over it? EDIT: also sometimes it recognizes all of 4 usbs, sometimes (like right now) it recognizes only the one where is inserted the usb drive, making impossible to login.

dbsharpe Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hardware recommendation (AML) Hi, I have a T95 android TV box (S905, aka Beelink etc) Chinese clone/noname which is running Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.79_mate_20180209 ok (without a /boot/dtb.img) from sdcard and also Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_3.14.29_server_20180601 (with gxbb_p200_2G_100M.dtb) thanks to balbes150. Sorry to hijack the thread but can anyone recommend a sub $50 ebay AML based android TV box (any AML chip) to buy that WILL run linux kernel 4.4.x onwards as I'm looking to upgrade to newer h/w. I've tried a TX3 (S905) but I got rid of it as the Nougat Android on it was rubbish. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO I have doubts that you have the model S905X, most likely, it is the model S905W (it needs other dtb files). On 6/20/2018 at 12:13 AM, Tommy21 said: Does the sound work with kernel 4.16.1?

I've tried a TX3 (S905) but I got rid of it as the Nougat Android on it was rubbish. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, you can use the TV box itself with Armbian running instead of the PC to run Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the newest image and meson-gxbb-p200.dtb as dtb.img I have some result. It does try to boot from SD card but goes into kernel panic complaining that it can't mount rootfs on mmcblk0p1, so obviously not support for the internal memory. However, from a usb stick on a 4-port hub with mouse and keyboard connected to the rear of Mini-M8s I have the system running. Anything you want me to try?

I understood correctly that from USB stick the system Yocto was normally started ? If it starts, it is advisable to check the operation of the wired network and how the system turns off.

Since I'm not familiar with the system I don't really know what to look for, but I connected a wired network, started some games and applications which all started fine. When I clicked shutdown I could see it stopping eth0 so appares that wired network works. Shutdown was completet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
