armbian on MINIX NEO U9-H

[rbiam57]

Can armbian run on MINIX NEO U9-H?

 

U9-H Specs

CPU: AArch64 Processor rev 4 (aarch64)

       Hardware: Amlogic

GPU: Mali-T820

       OpenGL vendor: ARM

       OpenGL version: OpenGL ES 3.2 v1.r11po

OS: Android    

      Version 6.0.1

      API: Level 23

      Kernel: Linux 3.14.29

      Build U9-H FW007A 20171020

 

If it is possible, please instruct me on how it is done...

 

Thanks,

rbiam57

You have connected the console UART or the ability to run LibreELEC on this model ?

No, I have not contacted UART. I think it is possible to LibreELEC on U9-H.

What I've done:

SP 128GB micro SD card class 10

win32diskimager

    Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_server_20171208

        added: dtb.img form FW007A 20171020

I can not get it to boot from SD card.

 

If you have anything that will help me, PLEASE inform me...

[balbes150]

To obtain information about how your data is organized in u-boot on your TV Boxing, I don't recommend trying to run Armbian. It is likely to disrupt TV box (to brick). Do you have information that you can start Libreelec specifically for your model of TV box ?

If the LE is run from external media on Your TV box, try to connect via SSH and run the command "fw_printenv". The result show here.

Если LE запускается с внешних носителей на экране телевизора, попробуйте подключиться через SSH и выполнить команду «fw_printenv». Результат показан здесь.

Yes, you can try to rectificate-boot using the image Armbian and check the startup LE (build Kszaq or mine, they have the autorun script s905_autoscript) universal multiboot.

I sent the log to you, now I can run "ambien" to "U9-x minix Neo" ? Give instructions how to do it.

Yes, you can try to run Armbian external media. Pay attention, for this you need to update the multiboot to that part of the image Armbian.

I don't know what way to take. I'm afraid to download the wrong way and damage the Minix. please give a direct link to the desired image. and a link to the manual for its installation. I would be very grateful.

Start Armbian external media equivalent startup LE. So if LE did not kill the TV box, Armbian also won't hurt her (unless you're not perform the right commands in the running Armbian).

Enough to wait up to 10 minutes. Try all the dtb for your group (gxm* amd kvim2* ).
