Armbian image for Amlogic S805X P241 with 5.15 kernel (minimal, working boot)


Recommended Posts

Hi all,
I’m working with an Amlogic S805X (P241) board and I’d like to run Armbian on it, but I need a kernel 5.15 LTS build that boots reliably (especially from USB/SD).

I see Armbian community builds with kernel 6.x for Amlogic TV boxes (e.g., Armbian_community_26.x), but these do not boot successfully on my P241.

 

I previously successfully booted Armbian with kernel 5.9, but I want an image based on the 5.15 LTS kernel if possible.

Is there an existing downloadable image for S805X/P241 with kernel 5.15?

 

 

If not, can you share build parameters (BOARD=, BRANCH=, kernel target) to compile a minimal Armbian image with 5.15 that uses meson-gxl-s805x-p241.dtb?

I also want to confirm the correct dtb file and boot configuration needed.

Kernel 6.x gives me reserved-memory / CMA errors on S805X P241 and didnt boot
Kernel 5.x booted ,
Is there any 5.15 LTS Armbian image, or how can I build one?
 

Thanks!

There are no Armbian builds that old,  in fact Amlogic TV boxes weren't incorporated into Armbian until later Linux kernels.  What you must have been using would most likely have been a fork of Armbian.

 

What you are asking for isnt possible in the way you are asking.  You essentially want Armbian ported to the 5.15 Linux kernels, which is a huge project. 

 

You would be better served but spending a month or so figuring out why current kernels don't work for you and fixing that.
