I see, thanks for the reply @hexdump. In the end I bought this card https://allegro.pl/oferta/karta-pamieci-samsung-evo-plus-microsdxc-128gb-adapter-15833111368 and I'm using it as main disk. I'm pretty disappointed with the write speed (around 20MB/s in my tests) but I guess it could still be fine for lightweight server usage.

Thanks for the reply @hexdump , the thing I don't understand is that in the thread I mentioned in my first message to this thread : the person claims to have successfully installed the OS on the internal eMMC on my very same box. Why running from eMMC wouldn't be possible on mine? What I am afraid of is that maybe there is some information / log which might be important in the outputs I provided in my pictures in the first message which I fail to recognize. About the message from @SteeMan I don't understand what he means by "and patch and apply it to a newer u-boot and build a newer u-boot"... In the /boot/build-u-boot/readme.txt file the instructions only have 3 different u-boots possible (s905x, s905x2 and s905x3) and all of them are like "git clone, run make" and that's it. Could you please be more explicit in what I should do or point me to some useful documentation? Thanks a lot for your help.

Could you please be more explicit or point me to some tutorial? In the readme the only info I can see are how to build U-Boot for s905x in the version I already have, or newer but for different chips s905x2 and s905x3. Thanks again for your help

Hi @SteeMan thanks for your reply. I'm not sure I understand your suggestion, however, I tried going in /boot/build-u-boot and the instructions (file readme.txt in the very same folder) suggest that the latest available u-boot for my device (s905x) is indeed the one that I already have (2020.07 from march 2023). The newer u-boot are for s905x2 or s905x3

Hello everyone, I own this android box and I followed this tutorial https://ragone.dev/post/install-linux-on-android-tv-box which is based on tutorials on armbian website, I tried to install Armbian 25.8 server with Debian. Everything went fine until the step "5. Flash Armbian to the internal eMMC", despite me running the install-aml.sh script and getting a complete message in the end (see following images for script execution output), when I reboot it just always starts from the sd (see the following screenshot showing that the mounted storage is 16 GB, but my box internal storage is 8 GB). fdisk -l output to also show the internal mmc (in the screen /dev/mmcblk1) If I remove the sd and then turn it on, it is just stuck in a loop, having the following errors: Can you please help me in solving this problem? I already tried looking on the web and found these two topics: https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/issues/3032 But they didn't help me. Kind regards
