@balbes150 leaving is surely a big loss for all TV-boxers...
Could you please elaborate - is requirement form "Getting started" regarding install
"

NAND:

kernel 3.4.x and NAND storage

"
applied to his builds too?

Years ago I successfully installed Armbian to NAND of MXQ 805 box (with nand-sata-install these days, I guess), and it worked like a charm, but now I can't find any s805 image with kernel 3.4, the earliest ones are 3.10 already. Thank you in advance if you could give a tip.

nand support only exists in legacy vendor kernels.  Mainline linux does not have such support.  Armbian is focused on bringing mainline linux to all sorts of devices so that users have access to currently supported code. 

 

If you think about what you are asking for, you are asking for a linux kernel that is at least 8 years old and has never received any security or other patches.  Why would you want to run with a kernel that has likely hundreds of known security vulnerabilities in it?
