@Dominik Wójt Hey, I've picked up my mxq box again looking to put a newer OS on it. It seems the image you provided works with HDMI. Thanks! However, if I build it from the normal armbian repo it does not work. Any chance you can share what changes you made?

Hi @Fiery_Fire, all the changes I used have been merged to armbian.

I tried to build an image from the current main branch and I got no HDMI output too.

I tried a newer kernel and applied all the patches from xdarklight's branch https://github.com/xdarklight/linux/tree/meson-mx-integration-6.15-20250608, here is an armbian branch: https://github.com/domin144/armbian-build/tree/meson_6.16

I compiled with this command:

./compile.sh build BOARD=aml-s805-mxq BRANCH=edge BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED= DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=xfce DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=trixie

Now I get some output on HDMI, but it is so distorted, I cannot read any text.

Something must have been changed in the 6.12 kernel between the time I tried it last and now. Unfortunately I will not have time to debug this in a foreseeable future. Hopefully this distorted output will be a better starting point for you than no output at all.
