I am planning to buy this device, and I would like to know if I can install Armbian on this device: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Android-Resolution-Cortex-A53-Support-2-4GHz/dp/B088NDFK4J

@Konstantinusz Moved your post to the appropriate forum.  You have an android TV box, not a supported SBC.  Please read the following TV Box FAQ post: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first

 

On the TV box side the only H6 based TV Box I am aware of that has any testing is the Tanix TX6 box.  See the first post of this thread for instructions on installing: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12162-single-armbian-image-for-rk-aml-aw-aarch64-armv8

I have no idea if this will work for your H6 based box, but you could try and report back if it worked for you.

I have tested the TX6, T95 Mini, T95 Max, Q+.  All these work well as a small server (w/o WiFi).  Of these, I like the T95 Mini the best due to small size and good thermal w/o any modification.  Copy to EMMC works.

@MBB Can you please tell me which DTB works for the T95 mini in the all-in-one image, and the kernel parameters required? It does not boot on the Tanix TX6 DTB. Using the Debian Buster image. I saw your recommendation and I have been trying to get one of these units going with Debian OS. Thank you in advance.
