DTB file in armbian

[andre2b]

Hello all.

 

As many of you on this forum, I have a cheap TV box with the Allwinner H313 CPU and it seems that no Armbian ROM Available fits my device as all I get is a blank screen when trying to boot. ( I tried the Orange PI Zero 2 and Big Tree Tech's images which I Assume use the same CPU).

 

Las week I saw this post by @BigZero

 and my TV box booted using the Mini Arch Image.

 

My question is, from what I read all Armbian Images would'nt boot because the device tree is wrong.

 

I tried changing the DTB file in the Armbian image with the DTB file from Mini Arch but that didn't seem to work as I still get a blank screen when booting.

 

What am I doing wrong? Are DTB files different because Armbian is Debian based and Mini Arch is Arch Linux based?

 

Is there a way to use the DTB file that boots with Mini Arch on an Armbian image?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.
