A have TVBOX on Amlogic S905l, but this tvbox don't have sdcard, is it possible to boot this board from armbian burned to USB, if yes, can someone share documentation ?

I mean to boot from USB before booting from EMMC

 

I shorted the contacts on the board to disable emmc and I see this message in the TTL logs:

looks like chip is asking for USB, but I'm not sure that it can boot from

 

Maybe I need to create a specific bootable USB? I used an image https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian 

Link: https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases/download/Armbian_bookworm_save_2025.06/Armbian_25.08.0_amlogic_s905l-mg101_bookworm_6.12.31_server_2025.06.01.img.gz

Please help me

If the u-boot on the unit supports USB Boot, yes.

The above looks like USB Mode. This Mode is for flashing vendor or custom imgs to the unit via USB. This is for recovery.
