Donnovan Machado Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Hello everyone, I have a TV Box (as you can see in the photo) and I want to put Linux on it. But I'm having a problem finding a compatible image. The model is from Allwinner H3. And when I go to configure it to place the image, it is starting directly on the tvBox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Congrats, you have been scammed. H3 can handle 2GB of memory at most. Also max resolution is 4K30. https://linux-sunxi.org/images/4/4b/Allwinner_H3_Datasheet_V1.2.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunjan Gupta Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Your box looks exactly like https://linux-sunxi.org/Sunvell_R69. We have a board config file for that tvbox. I am not going to promise how well that is going to work, but if you are willing to try building the image yourself, you should be able to create an image for it. You just have to write that image to a sdcard, insert the same in your tvbox and it should start from the same. Follow the https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ guide to build your own image. Only change from the guide is, for BOARD variable you need to use sunvell-r69 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
