I've used DroidCam on Windows 10 with no problems. The dev supports Linux, but for 64-bit binaries only. Is there any alternatives for Armbian? Even just microphone will do.. I am planning to repurpose my old android phone which barely runs any apps

Hi, I have a tvbox x96 s905w. I have tried to install armbian on a sd card. I took the 5.94 ubuntu desktop version. somme errors appears (files not found). After, i have installed Armbian_5.91_Aml-s905_Debian_buster_default_5.1.0_desktop_20190708. All works fine except wifi and bluetooth. The most important for me is the wifi.

Hi, I am new to this site, so far I have not been able to find a newbie list of what type of hardware to start with. I do not have any device yet. I have been looking at the android tv boxes on amazon, and I want to start with a $30 box, to be able to load linux on it, and have a graphical interface (ie like a Gnome/KDE desktop view) and then be able to install a vnc server, so the device can be controlled remotely. I have two projects in mind: 1. a chromium based browser install, for viewing webpages and playing any videos embedded in those webpages. 2. later on, perhaps with different more robust hardware?, add the capacity to insta…

Hello, I am using mxq pro 4k and the only dtb file that goes untill the end is the gxbb_p200.dtb, so I have installed every thing on the SD card and every thing works very well. Things getting worse when I installed the linux on the eMMC using the ./install.sh script. The installation goes very well, and every thing starts correctly, the only problem is that many drivers behave strangely, So I have compared the dmesg logs from SD and eMMC and many changes were noticed. So I suspected the dtb file to be not the one used in the SD card, so I have extracted the dtb file used when booting from eMMC and compare it with the one used in SD, and I got a ve…

Hi, First I want to say thanks for this amazing project. Also English is not my native language, so please excuse me for misspell Last week I received my shiny new Beelink GT1 with Amlogic S912 CPU. And now I have a itching in my hands to break it. So I forked @150balbes repo and start messing with it.

Hello, I have installed Buster version on the eMMC of my X96 Air (4/32 Go). And unfortunately, no WIFI due to some errors with the Wireless chipset RTL8822cs (my report HERE) I have found this discussions about this driver: https://askubuntu.com/posts/1067500/revisions But the last version is 5.6.1 for kernel version (https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu) and mine is 5.7.0. Do you think that I can try this solution in spite of this ? Thanks in advance

The problem (Armbian on U9-H requires physical button after power loss) The discovery process (MCU at I2C bus 0, address 0x15, register 0x11) The fix: i2cset -y 0 0x15 0x11 0x00 The systemd service for persistence That 0x01 = button required, 0x00 = auto power on Note it likely applies to the Minix NEO U1 as well since it uses the same MCU

Dear All, I have a Beelink s905 box with Armbian (Ubuntu 19.10).

I am okay to use another type of Mqtt broker but couldn't find a solution I am searching for hours now.. Somebody has any ideas? Thank you in advance

what difference between armbian and debian Linux Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk

I am trying to load armbian server with a mainline (at least 4.9) linux kernel on my s912 box. I currently have a the 3.14 linux Kernel running fine. The mainline images on yadidisk dont seem to have as many dtb files as the image i used and they dont run anything. Steps I have tried: factory reset and load image factory reset and copy dtb files from 3.14 image and load image copy the autorun zip files and load image. i do not get any action on the 4.9 images or the 4.18 images but i can reload the 3.14 images is there any other method to try?

Hello, I have tested a lot of tv box to decode video, and lot use special kernel of vendor ( the kernel provide by android 3.14 ... ) with not completely opensource solution.

Hey I'm pretty new to this community. I have Mini M8S II which is running libreelec just fine with the stock dtb. I want to turn it into a small server with armbian but it always fails to boot. The box apparently has S905X which should "translate" into this dtb gxl_p212_2g_kvim.dtb. Libreelec refuses to boot with it but when I used older built of Coreelec it booted with gxbb_p200_1G_1Gbit.dtb which should be S905 not S905X. Armbian and libreelec refuses to boot with that dtb. I've tried most of the included dtb even putting them to main directory and renaming them as dtb.img (Yes I've read that I'm supposed to change the location in config file) At this point I think …

my box is a H96 pro plus TV box, installed Armbian 23.08.0-trunk Lunar. was working well stand alone, had ethernet and wifi, I decided make use of this box as a network-bridge I wanted to connect a 3d printer that only has ethernet to wifi, just to transfer files. so finding instructions on this (reverse network bridge?) was difficult, some say's it can't be done, found one person said he just did it but was for a rpi I think using dhcpcd. but anyways when I installed dhcpcd it removed nmcli and now my wifi is disconnected and ethernet is no longer listed. still messing with it to see if I can get it back, but I attached the script he gav…

I have a E-Z STREAM TI8 box, I have managed to boot from armbian but the installation cant execute as my mmcblk1 is not setup according to the script. This is how the partitions look like mmcblk1boot0 mmcblk1boot1 mmcblk1rpmb. Is there a risk for me to redo the partitions and run the install script? As I see it if I do this it could brink the box. I also tried to extract the dtb from mmcblk1boot0 without any luck... anyone that has a good howto for this?

Anyone has the following box and managed to find the correct dtb?The box is being sold under "Android 9.0 TV Box A95X Z2 4GB RAM 64GB 2.4G 5G Wifi RK3318 Quad Core..." name on aliexpress and ebay. I tried copying armbian to sd-card and it refuses to boot. I checked various DTBs with no luck. Anyone else got it to work?

Hello, I have bought an x96mini with a uboot version from 03/2019, everythings works perfectly when booting from SD, but when I try to boot from internal the kernel boots and it stops at "waiting for root device", after an investigation I have noticed that the partitions layout is different from the standard one, I have updated the dtb to be inline with that layout but the problem remains the same, unable to boot from internal. Here is the original dts file from that box, Any help would be appreciated, knowing that I am using the kernel version 3.14. Thanks, 01_dtbdump_Amlogic.dts

Hi. Currently, I subscribe to IPTV service, and have it loaded on Kodi (Raspberry Pi 3b). I don't have full EPG. Also, it's slow switching channels. Don't feel like a TV at all.

I'd like to have something that looks like this Currently, I think I have something that looks like this It's also super slow to start a channel. Is this normal IPTV behavior?

Hello, I Want to Install ARMBIAN on Tronsmart Vega S89 Standard. Currently it is on Android Kitkat 4.4.2. Please Help. Thanx

I recently got some new SD cards. When try using them, I found a strange behavior of these SD cards. They allow you to create ONLY one partition on it. When you try to burn the image, the image is written correctly, no error messages. With this SD card, you can activate the multi-boot. But when I try to start the system or to verify the data in the second partition on the SD card, I discover that the partition is created but data is not available (section is blank, no file system). If a single partition (the whole size of the SD card), the data be read and written to the entire size of the SD card. So for all who have problems running from an SD card or Armbian Librelec, …

I recently wanted to buy a tv box, but I don't know much about the technical parameters, h96 max vs h96 max plus, I feel that these two products are similar, the main difference seems to be that the chipset is not the same. So rk3328 vs rk3318 Which one should I choose?

M9Plus 4k TV Box - An Exercise in Futility? My apologies for the verbosity of this post. I have an Android box marked M9 Plus 4k on the top. It was given to me, as a gift. There are no other markings on the box, and the user manual that came with it is all but useless. There is no web site listed, and no way to find out who made the thing. Tech specs are listed below. After playing with the Android and a bunch of apps from Google, for about 3 months, I finally got around to doing the sensible thing, and switched it over to Linux. Specifically LibreELEC. The only issue was the dtb.img file for the 1G Ethernet did not work pro…

Hello everybody. Finally I have signed up for the forum. Been reading here for awhile but never really had a reason to signup until now. I got a tv-box the other day which I have been playing around with. I dont have much experience working with the arm64 architecture, I have mostly been playing around with ultrasparc and the mainline architectures. I have no problem getting the system to boot and work but I cannot get all the boards features to work so my OCD is not allowing me to let this pass without exploring all options. The box in question is a s905x MXQ Pro 4K. It has 1gb memory, rtl8189etv wifi chip and what I think is a nand chip…

After following the main guide "Single Armbian image for RK + AML + AW" I've been able to boot into armbian via sd card without issue using the update method. Ethernet is working and nothing seems to be broken.

Hi all, Since the previous thread got closed due to not sticking to the topic box, I thought I will start a new thread. Let's try and avoid this turning into a general discussion... I have noticed that the price for X88 King (and variants like Pro) have significantly dropped. This intrigued me so I spend a few hours reading the thread over at 4pda.ru via Google Translate and it seems the stock firmware was very buggy initially. Over the last couple of months some OTA upgrades and custom firmware managed to greatly improve stability. Some questions remain as to whether the 5V 2A power supply is enough but in general the box is more usable. …

Hi, I have recently bought a 17 inch rk3288 android tablet. It has 2gb of ram and 16gb of nand running android 5. The reason I bought this was to get libreelec OS and kodi run on it. I found a rom for ugoos 3288 running libreelec and flashed to the tablet (Link). Everything works except tablet’s screen (and probably touch screen) and wifi. But I could get display from hdmi output and see everything runs good. I asked the seller to send me the android’s image file and now I also have android full firmware for this tablet. My question is, how can I make everything work in Libreelec by using/extracting required files from android image and add them t…

It is almost not possible to control volume through alsamixer or amixer command line. The only control I have found is the mute/unmute through /sys/class/amaudio but not the volume level ! It is the case for all armbian (debian, ubuntu) servers packages. I think some thing goes wrong... Any help or hint would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi. Currently using Kodi on Raspberry Pi. I also run IPTV service on the Kodi Raspberry Pi. It seems switching channels is slow, EPG seems limited as well. I want to know when I buy a TV box, does it come with OS? Can I just load the m3u file so it allows watching IPTV? Does it allow faster switching of channel than using a Raspberry Pi? So many questions regarding TV Box. But seems to me the forum has a lot of topics of people getting TV Box and repurposing the box as desktop. Why is this? Not really using it for IPTV?

So I Bought a tv stick and used it on a tv off and on over the years and at one point wanted to run Linux on it and see if I could get it to recognize a usb network card and run asterisk or something. i tried all sorts of things gave up. Its been a long while now I still have this and a A10S version and I have scoured the internet trying to find some sort of support. Heck of alot of support for diffrent A10 a20 stuff but almost nothing for the MK802 tv stick. I think i bought mine when they first came out. Can someone give me a link or push me in the right direction. i would love to run Arbian on it. i am a huge Debian fan I run all my servers for clients on De…

I'm running armbian on a X96 and was able to install it to the eMMC. So far no problems. The machine has 8 GB of eMMC, and that's why I want to use every free space if possible. But the partition table looks quite strange. Here is the output of cfdisk: The extended partition p4 ends at block 11567103, but p15, which is part of p4, ends at15269887. I was not able to fix this with parted's resizepart command. The resulting new partition table was not written to the eMMC. Any ideas how to fix this? p15 contains armbian, which runs fine in this configuration. Nevertheless I would like to delete unused partitions and enlarge p15. p14 could be a cand…

Is there a way to add the MXQ box to the armbian supported OS's with nand support? This is a similiar device as the S805 ODROID device and the difference is only that this device has also a nand storage on it.

Hi, I'm trying to build a kernel for my tv box (kii pro) , but the resulting kernel doesn't have framebuffer or mmc drivers, first i tried to build the kernel from this git repo https://github.com/kszaq/linux-amlogic-le but not mmc devices or framebuffer then tried to build two versions of buildroot directly from amlogic site http://openlinux.amlogic.com:8000/download/ARM/filesystem/buildroot-openlinux-20170310.tar.gz http://openlinux.amlogic.com:8000/download/ARM/filesystem/Linux_BSP/buildroot_openlinux_kernel_3.14_fbdev_20170527.tar.gz unfortunately i can't build the dtbs that came with them (i get syntax error) basically i …

Is there any Armbian build compatible with this device? If there's none, can Armbian be built for it instead?

Hello, i'm using wvdial in order to connect my box to the internet which brings up the ppp0 interface, but when i try to ping an external host i get packet filtered. i was wondering which kind of rule should i set. Also i noticed that issuing sudo service networking restart wasn't enought after i edited /etc/network/interfaces in order to connect to the internet, instead a full reboot was needed. which comand should i use in this case?

Hello all, I write this topic to be my guide in future reference and maybe some help for other linux noobies like myself. A the beginning my idea was to use AMLogic box to use Octoprint and 3d party software called Klipper for my DIY 3d prinetr. Quick search in google shows that it is doable but there are old topics, posts and old images for s905 processors. At first I had started with newer images from @balbes150 like Armbian_5.98_Aml-g12_Ubuntu_bionic_default_5.3.0_desktop_20191002.img and tried to start WIFI. Like many other before me I tried modprobe wifi_dummy .. etc and nothing good happened - complete linux noob. After …

I would try that but I tried flashing a rom for it and now I keep getting a disk error at 7%....

I keep getting a disc write error???????????????? How long does android take to boot after a successful flash? This is the error: I've tried Windows 10 and Windows 7; both the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is …

The start system in Coreelec is not compatible with LibreELECE Armbian etc. If you run coreelec on your TV box, you will no longer be able to run LE and Armbian normally until the full recovery of the standard firmware via the USB Burn Tool and the new activation of the universal multi-boot, which is used in all new systems. Questions that do not specify exact details (the exact image version, TV box model, detailed steps that were performed for DTB settings, and so on) will be ignored and deleted. For all. I don't support s905x3. I don't have this equipment. All messages about this platform deleted. What works or doesn't work from this equipment…

Information for users of TV boxes on the Anlogic platform. At the beginning of the year, I already warned that support for AML will be reduced, now it's time, I completely stop supporting all TV boxes based on AML. Therefore, for those who definitely need ArmbianTV, I strongly recommend that you no longer buy models of TV boxes with Amlogic chips and switch to using supported hardware. AML support is Available exclusively for several models whose manufacturers cooperate with Armbian. In all new versions of images and the kernel, I will add various security mechanisms that will create serious problems, including hardware problems and hardware failure. Therefore, I s…

Source from: https://iridiumbrowser.de/downloads/source Wonder how hard it is to cross compile to Arm?

Tanix TX92 Wife tired of looking at "boot" Would appreciate instructions how to integrate https://github.com/arthur-liberman/linux_openvfd/tree/master/driver either using Build-Armbian or target compile. armbian-config install kernel headers not working... Thanks; Bill

Hello, I have a formuler z alpha. I think the gpu is a ARM Cortex A5 (but not sure) Some have an ARMBIAN version for booting on USB with this model of CPU ? Thank you

Hello! I am a novice on this forum. My device is the new (so far) X96 MAX. Now I am preparing to install on it the latest Armbian-ubuntu. My X96 MAX is with S905X2 chip, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, gigabyte ethernet, dual-band wifi adapter. Please help me with some tips for this operation!

I strongly want to buy T95Z PLUS, but I noticed that its operating system is Android 7.1. I am a bit worried that this version will be out of date, causing software incompatibility problems. I have searched on Google for a long time and have not found an answer. Does anyone can answer it?

I have a tvbox quad core uhd android5.1 model H97 rockchip 3229. I need linux Wiking on it. Please, Amrbian could help me on it? I hope so.Thanks all.

Hello Armbian'ers, I'm a veteran Debian user and occasional system administrator, but - have zero experience with TV set-top boxes / media streamers. I now find myself in a position of needing one: In a rental apartment, I have a wall-mounted TV with HDMI in but an old, custom, non-upgradable vendor-specific OS and no network connectivity. To be honest - I don't particularly need my box to be ARM-based, nor do I need my OS distribution to be Debian. I mean, that would be the nicest, since my desktop is Devuan Chimaera (~= Debian 11), but I would definitely settle on any reasonable Linux distro. Anyway, my questions: 1. How c…

I have been trying to boot various images for a while. Recently I have tried the latest Armbian and Libreelec Images but without success. I have tried both usb and sd card. Today I managed to get my serial UART connected to the box to see where things are stopping. I have attached a log from the serial console. I have tried just about every single dtb I can find and I have removed the dtb for it to load from emmc, it still fails at the same step. I have waited over 15 mins and still nothing.

Hi. PhoenixSuit: V1.10 Device: Tanix TX6s AllWinner H616 I noticed that in PhoenixSuit on the Apk tab the options: Backup, Restore, Install, Reboot, Recovery. I tried to use to backup the current installation. But PhoenixSuit only recognizes the device and connects with it to install the firmware. If the file for Firmware is not selected, PhoenixSuit will not connect with the device. Any tips? Or another solution to back up the installation? On the TX3 Mini I use TWRP to Backup and Restore, but is S905 Amlogic! Tks.

Hi guys, I hava just installed Amlogic into TX3 mini, but dont have sound. I tried some versions (Armbian_20.09_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.8.7.img.xz, Armbian_20.05.0_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.6.0-rc4_desktop_20200314.img.xz, Armbian_5.77_Aml-s905_Ubuntu_bionic_default_5.0.2_20190401.img.xz), but no sound for all of those versions. Could you please help me ?

HI I’ve looked through the whole internet looking on how to burn to eMMc without any external help (monitor or ssh). I want to put an sd card in for it to burn to the emmc automatically. I thought of adding a script in the local or in the /etc/init.d that goes like this: sudo dd if= of … and then when it boots from the sd card it will clone its contents to the emmc. Any help on how someone goes about doing this woud be great.

Hello I have HK1 Max with chip RK3318 I tried to restore firmware because of some errors in the software but what happened that the device crashed and not booting at all its stuck with RED light I tried every thing except hardware shortcut but nothing any one have an idea to force it to update by hardware shortcut Thanks All

I am thinking of buying the Alfawise H96 Pro+ TV Box ($67.99 USD). It has 3GB Ram / 32GB internal storage (some used for Android etc.) It has an Amlogic S912 Octa Core CPU. http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_503487.html I started looking for a mini PC after a recent trip. From some destinations you have to stick all electronic devices in the hold. I'd prefer to leave my laptop at home in such a case. Another motivation is that these TV boxes are easily hooked up to TVs (duh!) which most people have in their homes. I have been having a lot of discussions with people I meet. It would be handy to have documents, videos, quotes, not…

Thanks so much, SteeMan. You are my hero! Messing around with Armbian on TVBox is really fun. I saw you and other people discussed about installing Armbian to the onboard eMMC. Is there any advantage for doing that? I mean I have a Samsung EVO 128Gb lying around, which should be faster, roomier than the onboard eMMC, shouldn't I use it instead of the 16Gb onboard eMMC?

Well I was using clockworkmod program for my intel/linux desktop. I did not have any luck compiling it on the tv box. Can someone recommend a cheap plan B for connecting via 4g? There are a lot of USB dongles out there and I am not sure which is going to work out smoothly. Thanks ahead of time.
