Hello everyone. I'm trying to install armbian on my tvbox mxq pro 4k p201. From CPU-Z the tvbox have Cortex A53 x64. Anyone knows how i can install armbian on this device? 

I tried a lot of armbian distro, but every time the device gets bricked and I'm forced to flash the original rom. Thank's in advice

I've got the mxq pro 4k which was listed as p201, in my (old 1gb/4gb model) I found that it had an amlogic s905 board and chipset.

 

I used the balbes150 method (and one of his builds which I just replaced with Eoan, again balbes150),

There are instructions at

Along with links to download the image. There are a lot of little things to check along the way so really pay attention to the instructions. I've been building hardware since the '80s before falling in with a Tux crowd in the '90s and I still had to run through the process a few times before I found my mistakes.

 

I used the meson-gxbb-nexbox-a95x.dtb from the amlogic s905 branch ( changed the name of the .dtb in /ROOTFS/uEnv.txt making sure that all other builds were unselected. ).  Part of the reason I used that particular build is because I had previously tried to replace the stock android with a custom rom which I now know should have been used for an allwinner h6 odroid board. 

 

Still learning.

I'm still running it from the sd card and it's working  a treat.
