I have tried to boot following images from SD Card

 

- Armbian_5.24_Amlogic-s905x_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_desktop_20170127

- S9xxx_4G_ICEWM_MATE_XFCE_LXDE_LXQT_20170122

 

Result: HDMI screen remains black. 

 

My understanding is that a dtb.img specific to T95Z Plus device must be copied to the FAT partition.

 

I have managed to copy /dev/block/boot from T95Z Plus Android directory and renamed it to boot.img

(zipped and attached to this post as boot.img.tz95plus.zip)

 

Then I have downloaded split_bootimg.pl and used it with this boot.img

./split_bootimg.pl boot.img
Page size: 2048 (0x00000800)
Kernel size: 7419928 (0x00713818)
Ramdisk size: 917780 (0x000e0114)
Second size: 41699 (0x0000a2e3)
Board name:
Command line:
Writing boot.img-kernel ... complete.
Writing boot.img-ramdisk.gz ... complete.
Writing boot.img-second.gz ... complete.
I got these files:
boot.img:            Android bootimg, kernel (0x1080000), ramdisk (0x1000000), second stage (0xf00000), page size: 2048
boot.img-kernel:     gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix
boot.img-ramdisk.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix
boot.img-second.gz:  Device Tree Blob version 17, size=41699, boot CPU=0, string block size=3307, DT structure block size=38336
Then, result of
hexdump -C -v boot.img-second.gz | grep "d0 0d fe ed"
is
00000000  d0 0d fe ed 00 00 a2 e3  00 00 00 38 00 00 95 f8  |...........8....|
 
How can I get the dtb.img from this point ?
 
Also, I ran
dtc -I dtb boot.img-second.gz -O dts -o tz95plus.dtd
I got this file:
tz95plus.dtd: ASCII text
(zipped and attached to this post as tz95plus.dtd.zip)

Hi balbes,

 

- I have downloaded your attached file "t95zplus.dtb"

tz95plus.dtb: Device Tree Blob version 17, size=41699, boot CPU=0, string block size=3307, DT structure block size=38336
- I have renamed "tz95plus.dtb" to "dtb.img"
 
Test 1:  Armbian_5.24_Amlogic-s905x_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_desktop_20170127 image

- I have copied this "dtb.img" to the FAT partition ( named 'BOOT' ) of sdcard image

- Inserted SD Card and plug power cord to boot the TZ95Plus device

RESULTS: T95Z boot logo appears and then black screen. (waited 7min)

 

Test 2: S9xxx_4G_ICEWM_MATE_XFCE_LXDE_LXQT_20170122 image

- I have copied this "dtb.img" to the FAT partition ( named 'BOOT' ) of sdcard image

- Inserted SD Card and plug power cord to boot the TZ95Plus device: 

RESULTS: T95Z boot logo appears and then black screen. (waited 7min)

 

 

Test 3: Armbian_5.24_Amlogic-s905x_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_desktop_20170118.img image

- I have copied this "dtb.img" to the FAT partition ( named 'BOOT' ) of sdcard image

- Inserted SD Card and plug power cord to boot the TZ95Plus device

RESULTS: T95Z boot logo appears and then black screen. (waited 7min)

 

Are my steps correct ?

Is there any more test/action I can perform ?

 

Thanks for your help.

Try to use as media any USB flash drive. You need to check two options.

 

1. To capture the image and be sure to replace the file s905_autoscript new file from the directory FIX (it's on the website). Try to start the system without manually copying the dtb file (in FAT partition must NOT be the file "dtb.img").

 

2. The second option check. Add to the FAT partition file "dtb.img" and try to start the system.

Hi Balbes,


 


I accidently made the following test:


 


- exrtact /lib/firmware/RTL8192E/boot.img from libreelec runing from another device: Mini m8s II


- Renamed this file to dtb.img (zipped and attached to this post as "dtb_LibreElec_MiniM8sII.zip")


- Use this attached dtb.img with your Armbian image


 


RESULTS: 


T95Z boot logo appears and then black screen ... 


Then "boot" appears on LCD...


and then mouse icon which I can move appears on HDMI.


Also, I can ping the device (but no ssh)


 


ssh rrot@192.168.10.95


ssh: connect to host 192.168.10.95 port 22: Connection refused

 

Any idea what to try next ? 

 

Thanks.

I'll make it easier. Start LE , connect via SSH and run the command "fw_printenv". Copy the result here.

 

You mean: you want this result from the Mini m8s II running LibreElec ?

Try to record the last image (20170205) on the USB flash drive (please note record USB flash). Connect to TV / off the console and turn the power on. Notice the dtb file to copy is NOT necessary. The system itself should try to use the right data in the internal memory.

After power on you need to wait for system start up for 5-7 minutes.

Hello

I also own T95Z plus box and I was able to successfully run Armbian_5.24_S9xxx_mate_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_desktop_20170205.img using vega_s96.dtb ​from image dtb directory.

I hope that this will help :)

Hi Stoman,

 

As suggested, I have installed Armbian_5.24_S9xxx_mate_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_desktop_20170205.img on micro sd card.

Copied vega_s96.dtb ​from dtb directory and renamed it to boot.img dtb.img

Booted from USB stick with micro sd card.

 

Waited a bit... Yes! I confirm I am able to boot from USB: Hurray !

Hi balbes150,

 

Because I am crazy, my first move after renaming the device to tz95plus was to install to eMMC: this took something like 5 minutes:

root@t95zplus:~# ./install.sh
Start copy system for DATA partition.
Formatting DATA partition...
umount: /dev/data: not mounted

Dropping to a shell! 


However, /dev/data does exist:

1. The file name must be "dtb.img" . Judging by the fact that TV box start with is not the correct file, then dtb data in the internal memory are suitable for this kernel and manually copy the file is not required.


2. This version is NOT designed for easy installation into the internal memory. Required additional manual operations for generating the correct kernel image to the internal memory.

Hi Balbes,


 


Thank you for your message.


 


1. My entry in the post #11 above was a typo (now corrected).


I did copy vega_s96.dtb ​from dtb directory and renamed it to dtb.img


 


2. I will wait for a final version to be installed on the eMMC.


 


3. Is there a procedure to enable GPU hardware acceleration ?

It is desirable to check up, how will the system behave with default file gxm_q201_2g.


Hardware acceleration not yet, need to find the source and collect.

I checked the installation packages to the latest version (ubuntu 5.26 of the server). The packages are installed.


 


apache2


mysql-server


mysql-client


phpmyadmin


proftpd


mumble-server


 


 


In network reach no.


libapache2-mod-auth-mysql


 


Is php5 is the php package (ver 7.0). Pay attention , I have not tested these programs, I just checked out their installation. The installation goes fine.

First try running the system without copying the dtb file. Probably properly built-in dtb file (from internal memory). If not file "dtb.img", the system for 5-10 minutes to start, then let's try all the files from the website and from the dtb directory on the media (to copy files one in the root of the FAT partition and rename to "img.dtb", test run, if not start - try next file).

	Hello,





	 





	Here are my 2 cents related to installation of image version xenial_3.14.29_mate dated 23 March 2017





	Found here: https://yadi.sk/d/pHxaRAs-tZiei





	 





	INSTALLATION TO eMMC:





	I have installed image "Armbian_5.27_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20170323.img" on SD card.





	I was able to boot successfully without modifying anything.





	As root, I have run /root/install.sh and system was installed to eMMC.





	I was able to boot from eMMC with Mate successfully.





	 





	Video Hardware Acceleration:





	My understanding is that there is no driver available for the GPU to get hardware acceleration.





	I guess this means that Kodi cannot be built and installed to provide proper video rendering.





	 





	T95Z Plus hardware specifics:





	Also, there are 2 additional features which could be nice to add:





	- Control colored light around device 





	- Control LCD display located at the front of device





	Do you know how I could control them ?





	 





	Is there any test I can perform to provide any further help ?





	 





	Thank you

	I tested Armbian_5.27_S905X-S912_Debian_jessie_4.9.26+_xfce_20170519.img. It does not boot without copying /media/xfce/BOOT/dtb-4.9.26+/gxm_q200_2g.dtb to BOOT/dtb.img. Then I could answer to the Armbian installer questions after login as root. Letters were corrupted at the bottom of the LG 26LG3000 tv so it was a bit  difficult to answer to the questions when letters were barely visible. Wifi did not work although I edited Armbian first run file in the boot partition.  It boots to Xfce desktop but using the wireless keyboard/touchpad is crazy. This kernel does not have audio driver so only usable kernel is 3.14 and I did build an installer image by using Debian testing Xfce, see my previous message.
