Ok guys looking for some help on shutting down issue. I installed Armbian_5.90_Aml-s905_Ubuntu_bionic_default_5.1.0_desktop_20190701.img.xz using S905.p212.dtb two days ago. It was logging ADC errors in the kernel log every three seconds but they have gone now , it is now logging the errors below in the kernel log and ttyS0 errors in the syslog and kernel log as well. I disabled the ttyS0 service to stop it logging all the time and around 25 minutes later it shutdown, There are no errors in the kernel log apart from the ones below. It was stable for 1.5 days until I disabled the ttyS0. It keeps shutting down every 25 minutes but was st…

We are developing an open source TeamViewer alternative called HopToDesk, it is built for ARM and runs on RPI and may work on other ARM-based devices, we hope to find some help testing on Banana Pi or Android TV devices. If anyone could provide us some feedback or point us in the right direction, it would be great.

Hi, I installed an Epson TM-T20 II without problem using the armbian image for z28 tvbox, rockchip rock64 alike board. When I plug it, it creates a /dev/usb/lp0 port that is enough to make the printer work. But I am unable to get the same working on the amlogic images. No port is created when I add the USB printer. Could it be missing UDEV rules? Or usblp driver not being loaded by the kernel? May someone give me a light? Those boxes are optimal for POS installations, and no support for ticket printing is a handicap. BTW, awesome work with all this project, it helped me a lot.

Hi everyone I am a novice in linux and it's software development, please bear with me. I have Tanix TX92 2GB/16GB TV Box which runs perfectly on CoreElec using gxm_q201_2g_1gbit.dtb with Wi-Fi and IR remote working okay however on Armbian 5.XX versions using menson_ gxm_q201.dtb none of network interfaces work whereas with menson-gxm_vega_s96.dtb physical interface works while wireless interface doesn't. Can anyone help to transform CoreElec's gxm_q201_2g_1gbit.dtb such that it works with Armbian? Help me please.

I have tried to install arbian but in vain there are no dtb for the a95x r1. Please help me to install it

Got a TV Box off amazon. Not real happy with the features as it comes. So I thought I'd give a try at booting to Armbian and see how that performs. I have no idea what the hardware is so I'm not sure where to begin at getting a good bootable SD card set up. The label on the box just says "TV BOX", nothing that I see to ID the thing. Where do I go to see the info I need to start building a usable boot? This is the device I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MJ13MWD

good day guys i am new here i have a android box that is a huawei model ec6108v8 settop box using a hi3719 processer is there away to install armbian on it

Hello. I have successfully booted Armbian_20.02.0-rc1.035_Aw-h6-tv_buster_current_5.5.0-rc6_desktop_20200204 on to R TV Box X10 Plus and have docker and Home assistant running at about 25% load. I would like to move it from SD card to emmc but when I issue the nand-sata-install command in a terminal window, it reports command not found and lists special scripts for many setups, but not the H6. I also cannot access the usb3 port, which I think is a device tree issue, I believe the proper dtb needs to be loaded but I don't know where to find it or how to install it.

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 was wondering if any of these Arm SBC can function like and actual STB provided by cable providers? My IPTV service requires me to load the url to m3u8. 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?

I have a TX5 PRO that i flashed with Armbian a while back. Yesterday i decided to upgrade to the latest focal image from this forum (was running an RC version of focal). Booting into the image worked fine, and flashing it to emmc didn't give any errors. However, now the board will not boot. Not sure if i used the 'shutdown' or 'reboot' command, but after installation finished i intended to boot from emmc, but it didn't boot at all. The light stays red, but i recall the light being blue when powered on, so it looks like it is in sleep mode. Power cycling the device does not work, and i can't find the remote (might have been thrown away). Is there any way i can force i…

Hi Everyone. I have purchased 3 android z28 1g/8g tv boxes. I can't for the life of me get them to install Kodi 16.2 or any Kodi updates for that matter, during each install I get (the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name) The firmware seems to only allow the Kodi 16.1 rc3 I realize that I should uninstall the previous Kodi in order to install the new Kodi 17, but Kodi seems to be part of the firmware. I cant uninstall or disable existing Kodi. This box is unrooted as well, all the previous boxes I have previously purchased have been rooted, is that something to do with my issue trying to uninstall the existing Kodi? I have tried upd…

Is there a combination of Armbian and DTB that supports Wifi on H96-Max-X2? I am currently using Armbian_19.11.5_Aml-g12_buster_dev_5.5.0-rc3_desktop_20191228.img + meson-g12a-sei510.dtb, I tried same OS with meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb, which cannot even make Ethernet work. And I tried to use USB NIC, also not detected. Any suggestions please? Thank you!

I am French so I apologize in advance for my english. (and thanks google trad lol) I bought a kvm box to use the same keyboard for my desktop pc and my box with armbian.

Hi everbody, last week I bought a TV-Box X96mini 2 GB / 16 GB. After reading the FAQ (thx @SteeMan), it was easy to set up this little box with the image provided by balbes150. (thx @balbes150) Most of the hardware is working fine, with the meson-gxl-s095x-p212.dtb, which is found on /boot/dtb/amlogic. There is a problem with the lirc support, but using triggerhappy will do the job. Thx @Alexey Woronov, https://forum.armbian.com/topic/11161-lirc-on-armbian-buster/?tab=comments#comment-83995 Another little problem is audio. Basically sound works, but volume from the audio jack is much too low. Only when I'm turning the volume to the max, I'm able to hear something.…

Hello everybody, I would like to install Armbian on my Trongle X3 (Android 6 TV box, S905X 64bit CPU, 1 GB RAM, SoC board with HDMI/Ethernet/2 USB/1 microSD/IR/WiFi connections).

Thank you.

Hello there everyone need a little bit of support if anyone can help me? So a couple of weeks back i picked up a retro gaming box filled with emulators, roms etc. After a little digging to add emulators, mess with themes, change settings and stuff i find out the box it's self is just a mix of libreelec, emulationstation, kodi with a few modifications, skins added. So i decided to see if the box can run Linux (if it could i could easily get retropie for Linux running on it) which it can and after a little googling and watching a video by the MXQ Project to get Armbian (Lepotato) running on the box (using the tooth pick method) i followed the steps to get it run…

Hi Guys, Android TV Box cs968 Rockchip 3188, Is It Possible to replace the Native Adroid O/S become pure Linux O/S like this Armbian ? I've google many times and find no answers yet ?

I have ANTIK Set Top Box and want to replace it's original OS/Firmware with any common linux/android (linux preferred), because the original OS is locked & proprietary, and i want to use OS that are more flexible. STB brand : Antik machine : b2067 cpu family : sh4 cpu variant : st40-300 cpu type : STxH205 Is there any OS/firmware that i can use? or any help/guide on how to do this is much appreciated, Thank you.

I have a ShellCloud TV Box, below are the parameters: CPU: RK3328 RAM: 2*512M=1G emmc: 8G 4*USB3.0 (usb hub) 1000M Ethernet port -RTL8211F Android 7.1 I want to install Armbian on it, but when I used Armbian_5.75_Rock64_Debian_stretch_default_4.4.174.img , it could not start, if I use omv4-rk3328-0.7.9-armhf-image, it can be started, but no network, the box could not get IP address. it seems that the dtb file did not choose correct, right? As it's a new box,what should I do?

Hi, I have just made some decode test on my amlogic boxes. The result is strange because I got performance decrease on S905X board vs. S905 Does it have weaker VPU? The test was made with 150balbes kernel version 5.0.2+ and ffmpeg 4.1.3 v4lm2m hw decoder.

I got a box a month ago off Amazon. Externally its labeled "MX Pro+ 4K" But it is running with 7.1.2 and the firmware I have flashed was a MXQ. The board says MXQ_S905X_D4 v1.2 and I have tried both SD and USB, it is going into uboot I think? (The light is red not blue) but I can't find a dtb that works. There is no display coming on when its trying to load from the uboot. I did mess up the firmware and was able to flash it using usb burning tool Any Ideas on how to make this work????? I messed up the original firmware and bricked it and had to short pins and reflash it with the firmware I could find but I would really like to know more about this box and how to get Linu…

Hey everyone, SO Odroid N2 looks like to be quite a bit more powerful (and expensive). Odroid C2 is more on par with this Android boxe real value, for me, was probably the time I spent figuring this out and I thought I might as well share it. It's true that you have to figure everything out on your own but the state of the ARM distros today is getting pretty good, so if you can get it running initially you should be able to just update with the package manager without problems.https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip https://testmyspeed.onl

I installed Armbian_5.60_Aml-s9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_default_4.18.7 to the EMMC of my s905x TV Box , so far so good . Yesterday I trimmed some drivers and built the kernel successfully . The following packages are generated with armbian build tool : linux-dtb-aml-s9xxx_5.60_arm64.deb linux-headers-aml-s9xxx_5.60_arm64.deb linux-libc-dev-aml-s9xxx_5.60_arm64.deb linux-image-aml-s9xxx_5.60_arm64.deb linux-source-default-aml-s9xxx_5.60_all.deb I am going to ssh into my box and run "dpkg -i " commands to update kernel . Is it safe to do so while Armbian is running ?

Hi guys I got a problem when I running armbian ubuntu 16.04 on my s905 board its running well from hdmi monitor console after login, I can use startx to start the desktop everioument but when I installed a xdm/gdm ,the problem comes why running startx after login different from automatic start??

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?

Is there any way to flash armbian (or other linux distros) to Nand flash ? all i see is option to boot from SD. While this is fine, nand flash seems to be faster than most sd cards + its wasted otherwise.

Hi all, I have an android TV box lying around and I wanted to install Linux on it. It has a MIPS processor. I tried looking it up but couldn't find much info. I'm relatively new to Linux so any help is appreciated. Thanks

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.

How to boot armbian for S912 when EMMC Data is lost (no Factory Rom to flash) I want to boot armbian Amlogic S912 By No booloder,recovery,etc... in EMMC THank you Very Much

I took apart a tx3 pro android box I had collecting dust and realized I could put debian on it. I went through the process on Armbians website and got it to sucessfully boot into the user login screen of Armbian Heres the weird part when I login it begins to load and then for some reason opens Kodi 17.3 and I have no way of exiting kodi without it rebooting the box. I believe I only had Kodi 16.0 on the box so I think 17.3 is coming pre-installed in this file they give you for the Armbian Debian install. If anyone has any idea why it would do this I'd appreciate it.appvalley tutuapp tweakbox

Hi folks, I have a Miniand MiniX Plus 1Gb version that I plan to use as a small home-server with OMV and video-grabbing from my IP cam with VLC. This will be attached to 2 old IDE HDDs via USB-IDE adapter. http://linux-sunxi.org/Pineriver_H24 It has 2 usb ports on the front and a very bad wifi adapter soldered to a usb port internally. I have desoldered the WIFI module to change it for a USB-Ethernet adapter. So I have 2 USB ports and one USB-OTG port. Previously I've used the legacy kernel with fex files modding the USB configuration, to make all 3 USB ports act as USB. Recently I've tried the mainline kernel and I can't make the OTG-USB port to act as a USB port. …

I installed Focal Armbian ( Desktop version ) at my tvbox and everything is so far so good . Only a small issue hassles me : after the desktop launches , I had to use the mouse to click the desktop so that it can receive focus . Only after that , can I use the arrow keys to move the focus between icons. If I press the arrow keys just after desktop launches , nothing happens ---- obviously , sth. steals the focus . Is it a normal behavior as expected ? May I config sth. to avoid using mouse to retrieve the focus to desktop ? Thankyou for your attention :)

Does any one have used the UART over SD port ?

From an article at: https://torrentfreak.com/brazil-regulator-claims-80-of-pirate-tv-boxes-were-blocked-last-week-231030/ "Brazil's telecoms regulator Anatel claims that during an operation last week, it successfully blocked around 80% of pirate 'TV boxes' in the country. Estimates from early 2023 suggest that seven million were active in Brazil." Maybe they could be re-purposed to run Armbian /s What's your take on this?

Hi folks, I'm currently running @150Balbes "Armbian_5.27_S812_Ubuntu_xenial_3.10.99" on a S812, but with some minor issues. Ethernet only 100Mbits (Realtek 8211F). Kernels newer than 3.10.99 won't boot (but will try to determine why, when I get my UART Adpter.) So after all, I'm thinking to replace this box, with a more current one. Purpose of this box: running an "Emby-Server" with external HDDs and probably "Pi-Hole". Which box is recommendable for these purposes? thanks in advance

I have begun to make some changes to the TV Box 'Club' area. The overall goal is to provide more useful information to users and reduce the support workload of answering the same questions over and over again. To that end there is now a FAQ forum on the menu. While it is currently empty and just a place holder it should provide a centralized location for TV Box information over time. The second new addition is the forum titled 'TV Boxes running Armbian'.

Hello, I am about to buy a TV box with the following characteristics, I would love to know if it is compatible to install a distro CPU Cortex-A7 Quad-Core Procesador gráfico Mali-400

I wanted to install Balbes' Armbian image on Mecool KM8P but failed miserably: At first it took me weeks to get my KM8Ps into recovery mode, only to realize that the better/best installation procedure is via the stock Android update routine. Unfortunately I now have 3 KM8P showing the same behaviour: They always boot into the recovery mode, showing the defunct Android with the "No command" message. I can't get out of the recovery mode back into Android to do a "normal" installation via the update routine. And I can't figure out how to install @balbes150 images from the recovery mode. And I can't boot directly into an image (I guess due to this U-Boot problem with …

I have used the Armbian images created by Balbes150 on my VIM2 Max. Awesome software in all respects. If I use an image with the 3.14.29 kernel: 1. Framebuffer is correctly installed/configured 2. HDMI does not exist 3. Displaying EDID reported: No EDID on bus 1,2, or 4 Bus 3 doesn't really have an EDID... Couldn't find an accessible EDID on this computer However, if I use an image with the 4.16.1 kernel: 1. No framebuffer 2. HDMI detectable connected/disconnected 3. Displaying EDID detected contents correctly I wouldn't mind a 4096x4096 framebuffer so, if necessary, I can …

hello cracks, i own a TV Box and would like to run Armbian with PiHole and CheckMK - PiHole is running as far as i can get CheckMK for ARM Debian not installed here it seems there are many dependencies to Apache which i can't get installed i have already created a thread in the arm checkmk programming and hope for a solution https://github.com/chrisss404/check-mk-arm/issues/20 furthermore i haven't found a way to install armbian directly to the internal memory eMMc - all described instructions don't seem to work because some .sh scripts are missing or menus are not available under armbian-config Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translato…

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

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…

I have been happy user of Vscission V88 Piano board for some months running Armbian and ZFS, but yesterday after some trouble rebooting like 20x after the box hang during an attempt to clone a Corsair 32GB USB drive, i can't get it to boot Armbian any longer! I've verified i'ts' not the SDcard nor the content in it (correct dtb.img etc) and i even downloaded another image from dl.armbian.com and tested a new SD card with no luck. It boots Android just fine when SD card is not inserted, but when inserted i see a red light and nothing on the screen. Sad since this one has enough RAM to run a lot of stuff. What could this be?

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

I bought an A95X-A1 for $28 to run a fairly simple slideshow application (in chromium) for my wife for Christmas, unfortunately, it's showing some significant screen tearing (at 1080p and 720p). I tried enabling vsync on the framebuffer in /boot/hdmi.sh but no luck... any hints/tips? Specifically, it's running Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20171208 off of an SD card.

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. However, trying to launch Armbian Config to install on eMMC doesn't work because after clicking to open the program a terminal pops up and disappears immediately, similar to how if you opened a command line program in windows just by clicking on it, it would close by itself. I'm not sure if this is a related problem but running terminal and trying to use su fails even though I'm certain I've got the password correct. I even reformatted and …

Hello, Is it possible to run the Armbian system on the A5X Plus MINI based on rk3328. I am looking for a place to find a matching DTB file. Can I ask for help in this matter ?? Regadrs, Piotr

I propose to discuss the use of TV boxes (SbC) as a multifunctional complex that can be used as a PC and a universal media center. I've been testing a lot of different models lately that may qualify for this role. Later I will publish General notes, which I got on different models of processors and specific models of TV boxes.

Its CPU is rk3328.It only costs $18.

Ubuntu 18.04 running from eMMC. I practically never have to reboot this box (used as a file server with a USB hard disk), it is that good. As always, I am grateful to Oleg and the entire Armbian development team for their amazingly good work.

Hi, So I have an MXQ S805 box. I installed Armbian_5.44 S805 Debian Server on SD card, got the right DTB to work and its working well. I have run the install.sh file to install to NAND and that has gone well too However, when I reboot, it goes into a weird loop that basically does not allow it to boot right. I encountered this loop previously when I was trying to identify the right DTB for my box, so I am confused that much more. What am I missing? Help. Thanks.

hello have an old s812 box I was going to trash. I came across this forum. Its an m8s device with a m8_v8 motherboard, s812 cpu, and 1gb of ram. i went through this post @ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/3023-armbian-for-amlogic-s802s812/ I think it is a clone with a m8v8 motherboard. I can't figure out which one is the otg port of the two usb ports, or if i need to jump a resistor on that port by the usb port, etc. Amlogic flasher will not find it on a usb 2 or 3 port on ym pc. Basically I want to load whatever version of armbian that works, and install pi hole, the dns sink hole) and a script to keep the logs i…

After reading through the forum I found the file I want to download - ARMBIAN 5.67 user-built Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 4.4.143-rk3328-tv 20181203 +compton. How do I find this file when I don't know which of the almost 100 boards it's under without looking at the hardware specs of each. Is there a way to cross-reference that I'm not seeing?
