Shinra Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 I am using Armbian_23.5.0-trunk.194_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_edge_6.4.11_minimal.img, I am following your instruction in installing it in amlogic SoC, I am using either the u-boot-s905 or u-boot s905x-s912 and the dtb i don't know which will work i try the p211 with it. The current firmware installed to my box is not the firmware comes with it because i already brick it once. That's why the model in the case is not matching on the specs. I hope you can help me. Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated the amlogic installation instructions over the weekend to add the cpu to uboot and dtb family maping information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this download page doesn't have anything that old. You are not using builds that are current. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yafel GH Posted Saturday at 03:52 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:52 PM (edited) I'm sorry, I forgot that in this SD I have another OS that I found, but in the same way with these installed following the same steps, Linux does not load, is there anything I can do?

Have you ever installed and/or run any other OS on this box other than the preinstalled android? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yafel GH Posted Saturday at 06:54 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:54 PM The moment it gives an image that says android, I stop pressing the button. No, I have never installed another OS before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeMan Posted Saturday at 07:37 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:37 PM After releasing the button, then remove the power and plug the power back in. What happens then? Also what dtbs have you tried? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
