Amlogic CPU Boxes

Hi, I'm using the image Armbian_23.02.2_Aml-s9xx-box_bullseye_current_6.1.11.img on my Box TV Tigre 2 with Amlogic S905x processor and the dtb meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb and all the things I need are working, except the HDMI Audio output. Using the command "aplay -l" it shows no soundcards found but using the command lsmod | grep snd it shows different sound modules so I think it's a driver problem Also using armbian-config and going to system->hardware it shows an empty list. Any ideas on how to make it work?

Hi to all, i've been reading this post but also others, tried multiple .dtb and multiple images (from balbes150 yandex) but all with the same result. Tried both with USB stick and SD card. From USB starts without pressing the reset button (behind AV), but for SC card needs to be pressed. My TV Box is a MXIII 4k, model M82, k200 board with 1Gb of RAM and 8Gb of ROM and, i believe, with a amlogic s802. I wanted to install ubuntu desktop in eMMC if possible.

Hi all, I have some x905 boxes and I'd like to use one (an old TX95 -> x905w IIRC) as a midi sequencer with fluidsynth. I found the hard way that the default kernel has no midi sequencer support (in kernel or module) so there's no way to use aconnect and have it as a midi box. The only solution seems to be rebuild the kernel with the added module support but it's been decades since last time i rebuilt a kernel and S905 kernels (with added balbes150 mods and stuff to have it working on those cheap boxes) seems a bit too complex for me. So the question is: is there a way to get a working kernel with midi support, and how to put it in. If this was…

I have an Amlogic S905X3 board with an Armbian image in it, there is a module chip of SP6330-X attached to it, I can connect wifi to it and it works properly but when I try to connect Bluetooth it doesn't detect Bluetooth but when i install android in the device it works perfectly. Can anyone help me out, Please?

Hi, I'm doing some tests on my BTVe10 Box TV. I tried the image "Armbian_23.02.2_Aml-s9xx-box_jammy_current_6.1.11.img" with the dtb "meson-g12a-sei510.dtb" and it booted but the wifi didn't work. I used the command iwconfig and got the error "no wireless extensions". How can I make the wifi work?

Hi everyone, I'm new in this forum. I'm trying to boot armbian on a Mecool KM1 tv box. It's an armlogic S905X3 with 4GB ram,, 32Gb storage. Cant find a viable uboot and dtb combination for it as the usb flashdrive or microSD card simply won't boot. I can, however, run coreelec with no issues. Does anybody had any success with this box? Thanks

Some months ago I bought a fake Tanix TX3 mini to use as my personal server, but when trying to install armbian I just realized that the real cpu its not a common s90w, as I would expect, but s905l2. Okay, after many tries and helps one a lot of peoples I discovered the right setup for my devide. Ophub armbian fork with 'Armbian_24.5.0_amlogic_s905w_jammy_6.1.84_server_2024.04.08' image with DTB 'meson-gxl-s905l2-ipbs9505' and u-boot-s905x-s912. That is the set up that I did some months ago, but now I bought a higher capacity sdcard (64gb) to store more files. Ok, the sdcard is working, I flashed this image, made the entire set up, but when I try to boot I alway…

There are 2 TV boxes. I put Armbian on both, on the x96 mini you can see 2 gigabytes of RAM, but on the m9s you can see only 1 gigabyte. Physically, both have 2 gigabytes of RAM. Please tell me what can be done? x96 mini(s905w): m9s pro(s905x):

I can't boot into the armbian. It hangs at "waiting for a root file system", and repeats the line many times. Then says "Give up waiting for root file system device. Then, " Alert UUID=UUID-number-here does not exist, dropping to shell". It is armbian 24.5 image and dtb file is /dtb/amlogic/meson-sm1-sei610.dtb. I created the u-boot.ext from u-boot-s905x3 file. What I am missing? I tried to stop the autoboot, but it starts with 0 and doesn't even count. Here is the screenshot https://imgur.com/a/9dYm2B9

Hello everyone, is there any way to boot from USB when my emmc is dead? this is my board

Hi. I cant boot versions with 6.1.30 and 6.4.3 on s905x2 t95q . It boots in black screen. 6.1.11 working fine.

Hi, I have an A95X F3 Air tv box that has an s905x3 chipset. I followed the instructions here. I believe i used the correct dtb file and tested out multiple others. I've tried reformatting my drive with SD card formatter. I've tried flashing my stock firmware. However I cannot seem to get armbian to boot. I'm getting no video output. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I've searched high and low on the internet and I could not find a solution. I have seen aml_autoscript.zip being mentioned here and there however the image I've downloaded doesn't seem to have it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, could someone give me a link (that is operational) to download an armbian (debian) image for the Neo x8-h plus. thank you

Hi, I am trying to install/boot latest Armbian Jammy minimal on Tanix TX3-H box without success. Technical Details: Box: Tanix TX3-H (BZ) CPU: S905X3 Memory: 4 GB Storage: 64 GB Box: https://androidpctv.com/review-tanix-tx3-s905x3-opinion/ Board Images: Attached I created bootable both usb and sdcard but the box boots into a dark blank screen.

Any guidance on using Armbian on this box will be very helpful and appreciated 🙏

I have an OTT TV Box, model ABOX-A1 ( 1G + 8G, S905X ). Inside it looks very similar to NEXBOX A95X. When it starts up while connected to a Protron PLTV-26 TV, the TV EDID gets changed. This happens both with the original Android and when booting Armbian. I don't think it's due to Armbian. I wonder if it is due to startup code on eMMC or SOC ROM. The changes happen at every startup and are always the same. It writes a 1 at EEPROM offset 2, and a 0 at offset 0x20. Normally, the EDID EEPROM chip is at I2C address 0x50, and many devices write protect it. On this TV it responds to addresses from 0x50 to 0x57 according to i2cdetect, and it is not write protected. T…

After having seen the continuous hardware changes made by the manufacturers of the cheap Android TX boxes, I would like to understand if it is possible to recover the firmware, therefore the factory Android image compatible with the Amlogic USB Burning tool. After booting from the SD with the armbian-ddbr command, I managed to create a compressed file with the factory Android image but this file does not work with the Amlogic burning tool but only with the armbian-ddbr (restore) command. Since it is easy to brick these TV boxes by trying to install Armbian on emmc I would like to be ready to be able to load the original factory Android …

Hello dear forum! One question please ! A Leap s3+ can do AV1 On my Strong 4250+4150 I don't see any information about AV1 av01! But I tested it with AV1 codecs on the box with S905C1 and it works!

Hello I have Armbian 23.11 installed to x96mini. I use it for HomeAssistant HA argues that cgroup version is incorrect and I have to switch it to version 1.

Hi, I have finally installed armbian in my amlogic. I want to make a backup of the emmc now that it is "just installed". So if next year or whatever, if i want to go to my first day after the installation, I could go quickly. What will be the best way to create a "rescure image usb" ? In case of a disaster, could I boot from usb or only from sd? Thanks

Hello, I'm trying to start ARMbian in my new TX3 mini (Amlogic S902w)...but I'm always having trouble in ARMbian boot. It always says Kernel Panic - not syncing: Asynchronous SError Interrupt. Following by a message that says CPU: (u-dev-worker) Not tainted 6.1.63-current-meson64. I tried an old images of ARMbian that I found in YouTube videos, but without success.

Hello, I am currently using a TV BOX X96 Mini running Android TV 9 and using AMLOGIC S905W CPU. Then I was intending to run on ARMBIAN, so I followed the instructions on this WEB: [https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0316.html] After doing the full setup steps, I used 2 ways : Method 1: Press the reset button on the TVBOX to boot (But not in armbian but in android ] Method 2: I used the application available on the TVbox which is [UPDATE] to run [aml.autoscript.zip], and after I press the update button it enters the Download Mode of the TV box and gives an error, and that's me Can't get into ARMBIAN

I'm trying to follow the SteeMan's Installation Instructions for TV Boxes with Amlogic CPUs. I'm want to install Armbian_23.11.1_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.1.63_cinnamon_desktop on a Tanix TX3 with a S905X3. Looking at other posts I think I got extlinux.conf correct but I can't find any ext files and I don't where exactly they are supposed to be. The boot folder in root is empty and there's not boot folder in the boot partition. No idea what tag is relevant so I choose one at random.

While clearing out a load of old computer bits I found an old Keedox M8N android TV box I had years ago. Before I dump it, is it usable for anything now? Can I install Linux on it for example?

Hello, beloved community members! I hope you're all doing well. I haven't looked at my A95X F3 Air for quite some time, and I've got a few questions about the TV box. I'm interested in installing Armbian on it and I'm wondering which version of Armbian and Linux kernel would be most suitable. Last time I attempted this, there were issues with the RTL8821CU driver, specifically for an older Android Linux kernel, around version 4.9. I've come across this URL (https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/issues/269), suggesting more recent kernel versions now support the wifi chip. Can anyone confirm this, or recommend a version where there are no longer issues? …

Hi everyone! I want to know what is this marked pads? Blue -> Red -> Yellow -> Green -> Thanks a lot...

HI, I have another post about Mini MXIII-II (if you have it, please start reading this post: My next step, as @SteeMan said me in that post, is to check "all" things in the SD card before installing armbian to the emmc. I have detected problems with audio and bluetooth. HDMI, WIFI, USB, LAN seems to work. If you will check anything more, please, tell me, thanks. My question is about... I think that hardware is defined in the DTB file, so ... could I check one by one "all" dtb files? (I mean only ones that have S905X in their names). does it make sense? Any other DTB file that I could test? Thanks.

Long story short -- I was dumb and attempted to install armbian to the emmc on my s905 box because reading is hard. So now I have a box that won't boot. I have the original firmware image, which will restore the boot partition (from what I understand, this is the problem with s905s now, though I distinctly remember running debian on this via the emmc in the past, but that's a tangent that doesn't matter if I can't get it to boot anything). I have it connected via usb/ttl uart and can send commands. But what commands do I send? The amlogic usb burning tool doesn't see this box via usb, but if I run `usb start` it finds one usb device (presumably my …

Hello all! This is my story: I have a TV box with S905X Cpu and I would like to install linux on it. I tried to install Armbian via a usb pen and it worked but it was too slow, then I tried to install it on emmc with the command ./install-aml.sh but failed.

It has an analog AV port, with a 3PEAK TPF632A audio line driver on the output. So, all the digital audio stuff is inside the S905X SOC, and maybe some GPIO switches mute of that analog output chip.

Is possible to make Armbian to work on the FlowBox F1 from Telecom Argentina (SkyworthDigital HP20A)? I attach a photo of the device

Hello, I would be grateful for some assistance on a sound issue. I installed Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_bullseye_current_5.9.0_desktop.img.xz on a YUNDOO Y6 TV Box with S905X. It worked fine, but I believe that there is no support for Armbian 20 anymore. Useful info, the sound was OK and the audio card was identified as GXL-S905X-P212. Then, I tried various versions of Armbian_23.11.1_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.1.63 and Armbian_23.11.1_Aml-s9xx-box_jammy_current_6.1.63. Most of them do work, but none detects the sound card. Now I am playing with Armbian_23.11.1_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.1.63_xfce_desktop.img, which actually has meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb in b…

Hello everyone, I recently acquired a Tigre 2 TV Box with the following hardware specifications: Amlogic S905X processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB NAND storage (SkHynix). I attempted to install the Armbian operating system, and the installation process started from a USB drive. Unfortunately, after the installation, the device seems to be bricked as it doesn't boot up (led red). I've read that it might be possible to recover a bricked device by putting it into MaskROM mode through a process involving a short circuit. However, I'm not entirely sure how to do this, and I'm hoping someone here can provide guidance or steps on how to put my Tigre 2 TV Box …

Hello everyone, I have a Tigre 2 TV BOX with Amlogic S905X, 1GB DDR3, and 16GB NAND storage. I'm interested in installing Armbian on this device, but there doesn't seem to be native support for the latest Armbian versions for NAND storage. I'm wondering if there is any way to install Armbian on this box, and if so, where I can find an Armbian version with a graphical interface and a Legacy Kernel 3.4.x that is compatible with Amlogic processors. I appreciate any help in this regard. Thank you in advance.

What is confusing me is that it looks like the system is expecting /dev/mmcblk1p1 to be ext4 but when i check it in Gparted, it is FAT32 Would you please push me to the right direction? Thank you

Recently I've installed armbian on my 905 TV box using this article as a guide: https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0269.html After some experiments with dtb files and tuning everything seems to work fine except of one thing: the box can't be turned off, it boots immediately after shutting down. I've found a similar problem described in several articles, for example: https://gist.github.com/george-hawkins/a897a6fe116093a4c1f29ad19df088de It is suggested to enable XHCI HCD quirks in grub. But there is not such file in the system I've installed, the closest thing I found was config-5.9.0-arm-64 file. What is the right way to modify it to add XHCI HCD qui…

Hi. I'm out of my depth here, but I noticed that one of the official Armbian builds with platinum support is for the Khadas VIM1S, which has a S905Y4 SOC with 2GB of RAM. This is a similar configuration to many cheap Android TV boxes. According to some sources I can find, the S905W2 is also in the same family as the S905Y4 (Amlogic NE S4). Both are also supported by Coreelec, although I understand that Coreelec DTB's can't be used with Armbian. What would be involved in porting Armbian from the VIM1S to S905Y4/S905W2 TV boxes? Is this likely to work, and where could I start? Thanks!

I follow the method here: My box can now see the wifi, but there are a few quirks: 1. It sees only some of the 5Ghz band. For example, it can't see my own 5Ghz AP, but can see my neighborhood 5G APs 2. when connected with either 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band, and I did the speed test. It is fine with the download speed, but the upload speed is just less than 1Mbps, always. Thus, the connection is virtually useless, e.g. I can vnc to it, but it shows black screen because the screen can't be uploaded to my vnc client due to the upload speed problem. Is there any work around? My armbian: Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0_desktop.img dtb file: /d…

Hi Forum members, I have a Beelink GT1 Ultimate tvbox (RTL8211f/LTM8830) which came to me with Coreelec, so not the stock Android firmware. I had to install the Android firmware (found somewhere on internet, not from Beelink) in order to be able to run Armbian (off sd card) and no matter which .dtb I try, there is no LAN in Armbian (no phy), but also it doesn't work in Android. Am I right in that I cannot make it work in Armbian if it doesn't work in Android? Case 1: Eth port/rtl8211f chip is damaged Case 2: the Android firmware image does not fit my tv box Is there a chance that case 2 is the situation so if I find an Android image with working LAN t…

Hi, So I trashed the eMMC on my Amlogic s805 based TV Box, with 1GB RAM and 2GB eMMC. Getting it into mask ROM mode is easy enough, but how to resurrect the eMMC, so that I can boot Armbian off an SD card, is a total mystery. Can it be done, and if so...how? Any advice, or direction to said, greatly appreciated. T.

Hi, I am running Armbian on x96 mini with S905W chip. There are four K4B2G0446D chips which from data sheet is 512MB each. The only DTB's files that work for me are `meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb` and `meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dtb`. Is there a way to validated for sure if I have 2GB of RAM? Is there other dtb files for the 2GB variant?

Hello I newly installed a community armbian image to my Alfawise H96 ProPlus TV box. All seems to be working except sshd. I found out, that is because of not existing /run/sshd directory.

Hello everyone, I have a Beelink GS king X android box with 2 hard drives. I want to be able to install a jellyfin server to share and synchronize my videos, audios and images on my other devices. On these other devices, I will use either Kodi or Corelec for playback.
