Please check out these options from u-boot using to run from the SD card.

I saw that You have already compiled your version, but I have a request, check these files to run. I need to make sure they work and you can include them in the Assembly of the image Armbian for s812.

thanks very much.

I hope is not urgent as I'm travelling for the next couple weeks and can't try them yet.

 

have you any experience with the bootloader script for AMLogic?

I used the following scripts to boot:

- armbian
setenv condev "console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0"
setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw ${condev} fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 mac=${mac}"
setenv kernel_loadaddr "0x14000000"
setenv dtb_loadaddr "0x11800000"
setenv initrd_loadaddr "0x15000000"
setenv boot_start bootm ${kernel_loadaddr} ${initrd_loadaddr} ${dtb_loadaddr}

mmcinfo
fatload mmc 0 ${initrd_loadaddr} uInitrd

fatload mmc 0 ${kernel_loadaddr} uImage
fatload mmc 0 ${dtb_loadaddr} dtb/meson8_k200b_2G_emmc_sdhc.dtb

run boot_start

- lakka.tv and LibreELEC.tv
setenv condev "console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0"
setenv bootargs "${condev} bootfromsd"
mmcinfo
fatload mmc 0 ${loadaddr} kernel

bootm
 

I'm thinking these could be used to prep the script for booting from SD.

thanks again!

Hi Balbes150, Latest version of Armbian, lakka and libreelec won't​ boot. Armbian gives colour distortion. LE says can't mount /dev/system. Multi boot is activated. For Minix x8-h I used M8 2G versions. Has this to do with KitKat 4.4 and it's dtb? can I extract dtb? Or am I looking in the wrong direction?

1. It's not urgent, you can check when You have time.

2. What exactly You are interested in the script ?

Most likely in the firmware versions on the basis of 4.4 KitKat uses a different dtb format (for older kernels) and other loader u-boot, which may not work with the new dtb format (for new kernels).

the regular use case for when the eMMC fails on these boards (this is the one requiring intervention) is that we end up with an empty flash, unable to boot.

the preloader is looking for boot code on SD, USB device and serial.

the SD script would have to be prepared in such a way that it sets-up the bootloader to boot from SD each of the OSs: armbian, lakka.tv and LibreELEC.

Armbian uses 'aml_autoscript' and 's805_autoscript' but I didn't observe these to be executed at all.

 

this is the case where we can't rely on the existing Android system to help us boot from SD (since the eMMC is broken).

1. If eMMC is missing\faulty\completely erased - in these cases always need u-boot on SD card (run u-boot from a USB drive is possible, but I still know of only one manufacturer, which is implemented Khadas VIM on all the other TV boxes there is only a boot loader for the SD card).

2. All I know of u-boot in update mode have the option of running the script with the default name aml_autoscript.

3. Therefore, it is sufficient to write to the SD card standard u-boot and slip him the right script aml_autoscript (using as a basis a ready skriti s905_autoscript for the desired systems.

 

After recording of the image Armbian scripts aml_autoscript and s805_autoscript used for their own purposes. aml_autoscript is a script activate the multi-boot. S805_autoscript the script is a startup script system from external media.

thanks! I'll take a closer look at 'aml_autoscript' upon my return.

If possible, check these items.

1. Work wired network

2. Work WiFi

3. The script backups dd_backup_x (when you create a compressed copy). Check recovery, no real need to do.

4. The sound quality (is or is not rattling and interference)

5. Show the output of the command "fw_printenv" and "fdisk -l"

 

Hi, your latest server image works on minix x8h (KitKat 4.4) with M8 2G dtb:

1. Yes works

2. To be Tested

3. not done

4. To be Tested. I'll try installing lubuntu

5. fw_printenv does not work: 

root@vegas812:/etc# fw_printenv
Cannot parse config file '/etc/fw_env.config': No such file or directory
 

Maybe attached information helps?

An updated version of the images 20170414. In these images added the ability to automatically use the built-in dtb out of internal memory. If no existing media file "dtb.img", the system tries to load the dtb from the internal memory. This feature is only being tested. Please to those who have the opportunity to check this option. Note that due to the fact that in the last image is the latest version of the kernel, dtb built-in data can not work properly. For example, I have on Tronsmart MXIII Plus when using built-in dtb data from the LE, the system starts normally, but the monitor does not display a picture (in this version I run via ssh and UART). It is important for me to clarify how to work this feature on other models with different firmware. The important thing is that we could start the total system (that you could connect via SSH or UART). If this function is startup dtb data from the internal memory, will be able to work on all models, then there is a chance to have a universal system.

I couldn't get any of the builds to boot the board.

I used the usual approach with the BootcardMaker from @mlogic.

it boots fine with the Android bootloader.img and the one I built from the @mlogic buildroot.

Hi @balbes150

 

thanks for your hard work on this S812 build.

 

I installed the latest build on my MKS 812 with 2GB.

 

One problem that I encountered is that nfs-kernel-server is only running version 2, therefore I can't get it working properly.

 

Is there another method to get NFS v3 or v4 working?

i make some UART log files for my rom problems

 

1. Try using the image Ubuntu.

2. Disable the download of WiFi module in Debian and try with dtb n200.

We must look at the source code, I don't know what is there.

thank you ubuntu works

how i can disable download ? , i could set up eth0 and ssh , i have a wlan0 adapter but it dont find any signal   ( maybe its possible to integrate the RTL8723BS driver from the S9xx (mini M8s) rom to the S812 rom )

In the file /etc/modules describes what to load at startup. It can be edited to suit your needs. To remove unnecessary modules or add new ones. If the module is loaded automatically - you can make it to the block list (how to do it is described on the Internet for the desired distribution).

Collected test image to s8xxx on the basis of the kernel 4.11. Tried on MXIII Plus (s812). Kernel starts, but then stops, I do not understand why it is not correct dtb file (it was originally intended for M8S). So please M8S, try this way to see if it will run or not.

Thank you for the test. Looked at the logs, I see the difference in behavior of the kernel on Your TV console. Specify what model You have (features) ? The control LED can be done through passing parameters in /sys . You can disable / change the description in the dtb file. The new engine uses its own data structure the dtb, so the files from the old kernel will not work with the new kernel, they need to modify and assemble with the new kernel together.
 
 
You can engage in a direct dialogue with the developers.

А на М8S+ можно твои образы запустить?

У меня одна есть приставка, хочу серверок запустить но сколько не искал так и не нашел.

To control the LED needs to have a description in the DTB file. Then you can set the triggers to the desired state (control activity LED).

 

 

@wzor

 

Yes, this is possible. Can be run on any model. The only thing that may need or choose from existing dtb files are needed, or collect specifically for your model from the original file (can be taken from the finished firmware). By the way, M8S have a chance to run kernel 4.11.
