So, I'm got this "old" TV BOX as a gift, and I'm try to do something with this ...

 

Now I have booted image for Odroid C1

(after 2 or 3 days work)

 

Req. HW mod:

- two resistors / wires for working console are needed - pics later

 

HW & SW info:

TV Box Name: Sencor SMP 5000PRO

CPU: amlogic meson8b (s805 ??)

Armbian build file name: Armbian_25.2.1_Odroidc1_bookworm_current_6.12.13_minimal.img.xz

DTB file used: meson8b-odroidc1.dtb
Kernel Version:6.12.13

Distribution Installed: bookworm

Working Ethernet (Yes/No):???

Max Ethernet Speed that works: 100

Does wifi work (Yes/No): ????

Does bluetooth work (Yes/No):NO ??

Does HDMI audio work (Yes/No):

 

It is Androind TV box, 1GB RAM, NAND flash 8GB, 1x LAN, WiFi, 2x USB 2.0, HDMI, SDcard slot, IR, 2 color status led, audio jack, Android 4.4.x

 

I can provide some rom files, from stock android, or whole nand.

If you look at the boot log, the android firmware is first looking for s905_autoscript on the SD card fat partition.  So you should be able to create a boot script by that name to get the native emmc uboot to run and boot what you have on your SD card.

(Your printenv shows the boot order is determined in start_autoscript, first mmc then USB then finally emmc).

If this ancient uboot is capable of booting a modern Linux kernel you should be able to make this work with the proper boot commands in the s905_autoscript file.
