`Hangs on boot to ash

[Herman Hoekstra]

Hello everybody,

My Box is a oxtagon shaped  t95z plus 2 mb 16 mb

chipset:

processor arm cortex -a53
mali T820 GPU
AP6255 wifi ac + bluetooth 4.2
sandisk SDINAD1F4-16G 16G emmc 16G rom
lanson L5TC4G63CFR x2 dram 2GB

 

I try to install armbian_community_26_2 _0-trunk.100 aml-s9xx-box_noble_current_6.12.63_cinnamon_dektop.img.xz

I use meson-gxm-vega-s96.dtb

And u-boot-s905x-s912.dtb copy and rename as u-boot.ext

It boots to ash then it stops

No asking for password and user

I have no clue what to do next

I have entered armbian-config but this returns a error

Any tips?

Progress

I installed a command line image

Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.130_Aml-s9xx-box_noble_current_6.12.63.img.xz

This image let me boot to a promt asking me to set a root pw make a user and pw

Then it gives me a Prompt can use raspbian-config to make a wifi connection

But i have a overscan the prompt so i must type the first letters blind

I also miss the first letters of the answer

I cannot run xrandr to correct this problem

xrandr reports cant open display after the command

xrandr --listmonitors

Also how can i install and run a desktop on this system

Thanks in advance for a anser

I'd recommend you ssh into the box, then you can configure to your needs.

Hello SteeMan

I can start armbian-config but i cannot find where to change the display and install a desktop

It als displays the current is plucky is not supported or not listed

Thanks

That isn't some you can do in armbian-config.  This is Linux, use search to find how others have solved this.

Succes,

I lowlevel formatted my SD cart.

Now i can install the CLI

I think there was something not right 

The next thing to try is install a desktop image.

And fix the overscan issue and then install to the emmc internal memory

My internal menory is Sandisk SDINADF4-16G so i am hopefull.

But when i brick the system, is it stil possible to boot from a SD card or must i try to flash a version of android first using a USB A to USB a cabble?

Sorry I am not allowed to upload Image?

It depends on how you have bricked it.  Reflashing Android takes you back to a clean starting point.

Hello SteeMan

I mean bricking when trying to install the system to EMMC memory

My memory is SDINADF4-16G

A lot of things can go wrong, so depending on what goes wrong in a copy from SD to emmc, what steps would be needed to recover could differ.  But flashing back to the original android firmware will generally always get you back to the starting point.
