@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

)

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

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

11.Run this commands:
