Updated images Armbian 20170531. 

Changes to scripts activate the multi-boot and run system from external media. In the new version of the scripts allow to start the system from any USB socket (if the is connected other USB media). Back support "nodm", now in the images is used in common with the main branch Armbian authorization system. If you want you can install the package "lightdm" in version Mate-that-be to have a graphical authentication when you log into the system (just don't forget together with the installation of lightdm, remove the nodm package, otherwise they will interfere with each other). Other changes see the description of changes to main branch Armbian (replacement browser on Chromium, etc.).

 

New scripts activate the multi-boot and system start-up can be found here. You can download them and use for old images. To reactivate the multi-boot again.

Will it be Debian? The problem of module loading.

I can get the Debian images for s812. But I don't know if this is in demand. Debian has problems with the multimedia support (video playback).

Which modules are not loaded ?

should i install the new launcher script , when my system now start sd and usb ?  or is there more new that i need for stable booting?

1. If you have all the normal start and there is no need to connect more than one USB storage device, then update the multiboot not required. A new version of multi-boot is needed for those who use simultaneous connection of several USB to TV box. With the old multiboot it was necessary to connect the system USB drive strictly to the first connector (which is defined by system as USB 0). With the new multi-boot option you can connect USB drives in any order (in any USB port).

2. New scripts autostart system from external media (s805_autoscript) are compatible with both-boot options.

thanks for the new rom 3.10.99 but there are more and more problems , now i can not find my AP and also ifup wlan0  with wpa_supplicant config gives errors

Now you need to load wifi modules manually (for validation) and with proper operation they must be set in the configuration file /etc/modules.

That is the first i done, set etc/modules to 8723bs and add blacklist etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.config to dhd

 

How can I load manually (validate) the WiFi modules

Debian problem run.

What's the problem, write concretely. I understand that it is independent building the kernel ? Turn off all the WiFi modules from startup, maybe the system is waiting for answer from them.

What version image are you trying to run ?

You can connect the console UART ? You have the opportunity to run Lebreelec from external media ?

Hi,

 

thanks for answer, I am using the image version "Armbian_5.27_S812_Ubuntu_xenial_3.10.99_server_20170531.img"

sorry I can't connect the console UART, I have found on internet one version Lebreelec for my device but I must try it yet, I must?

 

I have found these Lebreelec for my device:

http://download.drieschel.de/LibreElec/S82/

I have found this too for Tronsmart Vega S89 (clone S82):

do you have flash the autoscript.zip in android to update the bootmanager ? ( is the google tv logo part of android ?)

yes; yes

 

Look the my attached, I have this screen with half screen with "Google TV" logo

 

you have use the server rom , that is why dont have a HDMI support and you have to use SSH ( Network LAN ) to remote login ,  please use the first run script on the boot partition( normally when you have a fresh flash of the sd card )

 

maybe you can use the  xenial_3.10.99_mate rom to test the dtb .

in my root microSD have these files:

 

but s805_autoscript.cmd I must to run it?

Multiboot you have already activated, so you can try to start system from USB (to capture the image on the USB flash drive and try all the dtb files).

hi there

 

i test 4.12

first two start error at gpio 32

third and four start random stop at "kernel loading.." and R/W sd-card error

I have bought uart interface, I am waiting that it arrive; it can help me?

yes it can , but that is only the half way , you have to connect (soldering) the interface with your box ( that means open it search the board for soldering pads of the uart , soldering wire and connect to pc) 

my log is the uart log from my box ( akaso m8s clone box)  , uart kabel to usb and putty on my windows maschine

ia also test 4.12 NEXT image

 

here the log but i can not logging problems gpio32 and WLAN

4.12 with next test.log

 

 

with the 4.12 server image (without NEXT) i could "ifup Wlan0 " and box successful start dhcp
