darchap Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 Hello, is there any working image for Odroid N2 s922x that supports hardware transcode (emby,plex)? Regards.

Thank you for checking. I tried the Ubuntu 5.3 image from Khadas and it's the same there. Also no 1440p, but 4k works. Strange thing is, with the RK3399's 1440p works fine but not 4k. We know it's not an issue with your image. Probably kernel/display problem I guess. I'm happy to use my M4 with my 4K display, and the VIM3 with my 1080p display. I guess 1440p wouldn't work well with it since no VPU drivers. Thanks.

CCNORTH Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Hi Great thanks Balbes150 for the last 2 years with your Armbian images. I have different S912/S905x2 boxes, and no preblem to start Armbian. But my last Boxes comes with Android 9 and with by update the "aml_autoscript.zip" come this error E : footer is wrong update package verification took 0.0´s (result 1) E : signature verification failed E : error 21 When i downgrade to android 8 i have no problems. But my next buy are S905x3 boxes and here is only Android 9 Can anyone help my? thanks

You need to use the g12 branch but aml-g12 does only show Amlogic S905X2 and S922X as CPU type. Or do I have a old git-clone? Should I clone a newer one like https://github.com/150balbes/Build-Armbian (newer changes) OR https://github.com/150balbes/build (seems to be older)

cyber Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Hello, I have also the problem guidol has run into for a long, long time. Reboot doenst work. I have to "shutdown -h now" and then power-cycle. The weird thing i run into is, the system boots just every 2. time from emmc into armbian. I have then to boot from sd, "shutdown -h now" and then power-cycle and the next boot, boots into system from emmc. For me, it is a work around but not very comfortable. Regards Cyber

cyber Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 @guidol, Sorry i do not see these shutdown messages. I am connected via putty and ssh to the box. I get immediately the ssh disconnection message. Till now, there was no need to connect to the serial lines you use i think. The box is still unopened :-) Maybe i should do this to see the uboot messages during boot. This would be helpful.

So i substituted an old Dockstar with this box as NAS. I did an update to 5.98 via apt-get upgrade. Suddenly a "shutdown -r now" works. The unit is back within 20 sec. 1

In the last versions until kernel 5.3.0 I did use the khadas vim2 dtb, because there I could use the vim-red-led in /sys/class/leds for a blinking heartbeat led. Before this I did use gxm_q201_2g.dtb (which the T95K Pro is normally identified), but with the khasad vim2 dtb the ethnernet port does work much better

The unit is back within 20 sec. the image I did compile is already at 5.98, but I could try to "apz update" and check if the reboot then will work [EDIT] the only new package was distro-info-data Reboot didnt work - do you use ubuntu bionic or debian buster? which kernel version? After that the T95K Pro did boot into Android (because LED lit up), but with a black screen The only chance to get a screen was to boot without HDMI.-cable and after Android was booted I inserted the HDMI-cable. So I could reapply the aml_autostart script and the box is booting ubuntu bionic again

On kernel 5.3.0 I used a 32GB Lexar SDCard - nor I have a 16GB SanDisk Ultra - maybe the Lexar is intialized faster at reboot?
Dhammika Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Hi, Could you tell me an image to use with s905x with WiFi adapter RTL8189es? I tried many with no success. At least how to get kernel headers downloaded, so that I can compile. Many thanks

Only the UART console can give an accurate answer what happens at startup. It can be assumed that when you turn on the power, your firmware resets all parameters to the old (default) values. Try after reboot, when Android starts, choose in Android normal reboot (do not choose update, only normal reboot).

Try after reboot, when Android starts, choose in Android normal reboot (do not choose update, only normal reboot). When I try to reboot it get stuck on the shutdown-messages, so I have to power-cycle. Then Android will boot (when getting power). If I try a restart (with the 16GB SanDisk) it will reboot into Adroid again (not applying aml_autostart). If I apply aml_autostart then the T95K Pro will reboot into ubuntu. BUT now I dd'ed the 16GB ubuntu image to my 32GB Lexar Card, the I have not to apply the aml_autostart script. With the 32Gb Lexar Card the T95K Pro does boot straight into ubuntu after powering up. This also does work after resize from 16 to 32GB mmcbkl0p2 So the SanDisk Card may be a little bite slower at init? But both are Class 10 Cards I know its only the read/write speed.

Ferrari Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Hi, I install armbian on T95M 2G, 8gb (not sure its Sunvell T95M -2G or not) The spec is S905x but I were tried glx...dtb it can not boot so after that I use gbxx..dtb it can work but not had Ethernet connect. So with this Tv box how can I install drivers for Ethernet?

m4dbra1n Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Hi everyone, having some issues with root user on Beelink GT1 Ultimate (the one with old remote). Tried Armbian_5.98_Aml-g12_Debian_buster_default_5.3.0_desktop_20191008 img, with uEnv.ini configured to point to meson-gxm-s912-kiii-pro.dtb, since it has the same S912 as mine. Boot OK, chagend root password as requested, created another user, DE loaded, but... I can't su with my account, because I'm not in the sudoers group, neither use root user, as password is always invalid. Tried the same procedure 3 times, same behaviour. Have to say that I didn't tried with ssh on the box, just locally with my wireless keyboard, for which I checked with a text editor once booted if some keys was not working, but it's all OK. Do you have any ideas of what am I doing wrong? Do I have to try another img? Could be it be a bug only in that one, not affecting other versions? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
