@soned  This is an armbian forum, why in your first post do you post a link to a non armbian build?  What are you trying to accomplish in this thread?

I am very sorry.I did not mean to do anything bad.I was just trying to upload firmwares that might help someone.

Tutorial :How to install Armbian 21.11.0 on amlogic s805/s812

1.Download

Armbian_21.11.0-trunk_Aml-s812_focal_current_5.14.0.img.xz from SLAzurin's github(link to his message 

)

2.Extract 

Armbian_21.11.0-trunk_Aml-s812_focal_current_5.14.0.img.xz

3.Flash the image to a micro SD card using win32 disk imager

4.Navigate to BOOT partition on the micro SD card

5.Open dtb folder

6.Move one of the *.dtb files ( acording to your device,if you have amlogic s805 I suggest using meson8b-mxq.dtb) to the root of BOOT partition

7.rename the file dtb.img

8.Insert the card into your amlogic device

9.Start the device.

10.After configuring armbian,we have to install an desktop enviornment 

11.Run this commands:

sudo apt-get install xorg

sudo apt-get install xfce

sudo apt-get install sddm

12.Now we have to enable the desktop enviornment

sudo nano /etc/rc.conf

13.Add these lines :

moused_enable="YES"

14.Save and exit

15.Type
