The following template should be used to report a working TV Box running Armbian. The purpose of this template is to gather consistent and complete information. To submit a report of a working TV Box start a new topic in this sub-forum with the name of the TV box as the title and copy/paste this template into the post and provide the requested information. Note: Only report status using dtb files that are part of the image and therefore available to all users from a standard source. If you have used another dtb file, please mention that in the comments along with where the source code for the dtb is located and what the custom dtb improved. …

Hi, First of all thank you very much for all the support and efforts you have taken to provide with the extensive documentation and images to flash on the android tv boxes. I am here in hope of some help and guidance, since ive not been able to solve this particular issue since past 2 months and with bare minimum sleep and enough efforts. I have a SDMC Tech STB which is DV8549 - Processor: Amlogic S905X2 - RAM: 2GB - EMMC: 8 / 32Gb (not sure but will share part number) - WiFi chip? Unsure since the part is rubbed off, and its not even necessary to run the wifi. It does not have the SD card slot unlike the normal TV Boxes. it seems to be loc…

Hi All, I stumbled on this group after finding Rocket Streaming Audio Server that is either Windows or Linux. My application desire is to use a cheap Android TV box and connect a USB audio input device, and stream it live to a weblink. So, being completely new to this group (not new to AndroidTV boxes), would Armbian running on a cheap TV box support a USB on-the-go audio device? Or any reason it would or wouldn't? Then, next, I haven't read every piece of info on how to convert the boxes, but I read some general info on other sites. Is the mod terribly difficult? Do they all require physical mods? THANK YOU!

This theme is designed to help potential users with the selection of equipment to run Armbian on TV boxes and other devices with ARM chips. I propose to leave here information about specific models, with a description of the technical parameters of the equipment, which specific versions of Armbian images and what settings or additional steps have been launched. Pay attention. In this thread are only a good or not run the system on specific models TV box. All discussions and questions, post in other topics.
