PmProd379 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hello, I'm new to this forum. I would like to know which recent version of ARMBIAN I can install on my X96 Max+ TV box (2GB ram and 16GB version). I've tried to install several recent 24.5 versions but it won't start. Here is the link to the versions I tried to install(Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.250_Aml-s9xx-box) I simply renamed the file corresponding to my S905X3.............. box to u-boot.ext https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/tag/24.5.0-trunk.250 The only version I managed to install is Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0_desktop. So I'd like to know which version is best suited to my box. The CPU in the box is an Amlogic S905X3 only, I followed a procedure that made me use an S905X2 with Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0_desktop. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nETXagKHYGI Is it possible to have your help if possible by telling me the procedure for a perfect installation. Thank you in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PmProd379 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Hello Maka, Thanks for your help, I managed to install a version of Armbian that seems to work fine. Armbian_24.5.0_amlogic_s905x3_bullseye_5.15.152_server_2024.03.16.img.gz with the file dtb meson-sm1-x96-max-plus-2101.dtb. The installation is on a sd card as I was unable to install from the USB key. If anyone can tell me how to install from the USB key, I'd love to hear from you. I was able to install KLIPPER to control my printers as well as KLIPPERSCREEN via an old smartphone to have a control screen. And frankly, I'm very happy with it. Thanks again for responding to my request. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeMan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 @PmProd379Armbian_24.5.0_amlogic_s905x3_bullseye_5.15.152_server_2024.03.16.img.gz That is not an Armbian build. No Armbian builds have that name. Where did you download that from? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PmProd379 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Hello Steeman, On github.com. I'm not an expert on Armbian versions but it works for my use. If you have a link to an official Armbian version that works with my box. Best regards, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maka Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Usb booting should work the same as sd card. Maybe you are using the second usb while booting and tries to boot from it. You can try with the second usb empty and plugging after booting. Perhaps your dtb is not good enough and the kernel cannot find the file system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
