Alas, I can not help you, I do not have such equipment. 6 hours ago, Reddwarf said: Did not work on my Mini M8S, after running the script it didn't even boot from the SD card anymore Most likely on your model there is no eMMC (old NAND is used).

In the install and create_mbr script this is wrong. You have to make some changes by yourself. After that your box wont boot because the boot partition search for mmcblk1p2 but its actually mmcblk0p2. may you write me personal, may i can help you with that. kind regards,

I see, so there is no way to install on old NAND? I'm trying on a MXQ Pro+ and seems to have more success but boot hangs. I'll investigte further. Another question, is there a way to get accelerated video on 4.18?

The reason is the incorrect operation of u-boot (your u-boot is very outdated and contains an error), which changes the eMMC number depending on the connection or disconnection of the SD card. 2 hours ago, Reddwarf said: Another question, is there a way to get accelerated video on 4.18?

Tommy21 Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 If it is possible, could you provide links to the stuff needed to watch hw accelerated videos?I do believe it's not an easy task, but if it isn't too complicated, why not, i would try.I know you are doing this in your free time for free, and that is why we all wish to thank you.I would help you if i've had the knowledge, but i don't know much about Linux and programming.

8a8asik Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 Hi. I search debian stretch 9 image with odroid-c2 kernel, or with compiled mali_drm in kernel. Give me please links. Thx.
Thang Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 @balbes150 I'm trying to follow the official guide to build the wireless driver for my mini m8s ii box: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/#how-to-build-a-wireless-driver The wireless chip is realtek RTL8189FTV. Driver build procedure is in the following link: http://linux-sunxi.org/Wifi#RTL8189FTV However, when I run armbian-config and try to install kernel headers, it does nothing. The progress bar goes from 0% to 100% instantly, twice. I've tried to make a bash script as in the official guide, but it just hang up. How can I get the kernel headers for the latest 5.59 build? (4.18.0-aml-s9xxx)? I also do apt update and search for the corresponding linux-headers-, but there is no linux-headers-4.18.0-aml-s9xxx. The closest one is linux-headers-4.18.0-rc5-meson or something like that. I installed it and was able to compile the driver, but could not insmod it. The kernel name does not match. The driver rtl8189fs (which is for rtl8189ftv) is included in all armbian releases for kernel 3.14.29, but are missing/removed from kernel 4.x. Is there any problem that prevent such driver to be compiled and included in kernel 4.18? If not, can you build it and include it to subsequent release? Thanks!

The official way to compile a kernel is to build everything as per https://github.com/150balbes/Build-Armbian or /build but its time and space consuming. Download commit version around 19th August 2018 from https://github.com/150balbes/Amlogic_s905-kernel I get the impression 150balbes kernel is a clone of LE development which is mainline with a number of patches. Toolchain I use is gcc-linaro-7.2.1-2017.11-i686_aarch64-linux-gnu so you will need to setup your environment to run it. Unpack the kernel download and copy /boot/config-4.18.0-aml-s9xxx to .config in your source. command to build is: make EXTRAVERSION=-rc5-amlogics905x ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -j2 Not sure about but your chip k RTL8189FTV but I would have thought it was already in the current kernel

neik Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Hi guys, just ran into this and find it quite interesting! I am wondering how good is the HW decoding working? Is it possible to decode h.264/h.265 up to 4k? I would like to use this with Emby for Linux, maybe someone have experience with this combination and can give some feedback. Thanks!

The hardware should be good enough for 4k since they advertice it with Android, I haven't tested it myself, but full HD works fine under linux with the kernels that support HW acceleration.

No zram shouldn't be too much on an issue but the reason (for 4.18.0-aml-s9xxx based kernels) your seeing this is that no zram.ko kernel module has been built (see /boot/config-4.18.0-aml-s9xxx). I've compiled the kernel from soruce http://github.com/150balbes/ to build some additional modules and zram builds and loads. I'm no expert on zram but it seems to be operational when loaded at boot on my Aml system, giving compressed swap. I assume kernel stability issues are the reasons zram has not been included in the current kernel .config

Constantin Piffer Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Is it possible to use xrdp with armbian? I still got connection problems and I don't know why. SSH works fine. BTW.: I made a video about flashing a TV box in German. You can check it here: 1
