Recently I've installed armbian on my 905 TV box using this article as a guide: https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0269.html 

After some experiments with dtb files and tuning everything seems to work fine except of one thing: the box can't be turned off, it boots immediately  after shutting  down.

I've found a similar problem described in several articles, for example: https://gist.github.com/george-hawkins/a897a6fe116093a4c1f29ad19df088de

It is suggested to enable XHCI HCD quirks in grub. But there is not such file in the system I've installed, the closest thing I found was config-5.9.0-arm-64 file. What is the right way to modify it to add XHCI HCD quirks? Or maybe the suggested method doesn't  suite for my system?

Sorry if my question is dumb, I'm a total noob with Linux.

Instead of using random old builds and directions you have found, please try with::

Per the above information, don't expect most things to work.  Also grub is a boot system primarily used on x86 boxes.  Arm based boxes use uboot.

 

Thanks for your reply.  I've just tried installing the last build available  here: https://mirrors.netix.net/armbian/dl/aml-s9xx-box/archive/  (Armbian_23.8.1_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.1.50)

But the same problem appears again: I'm using poweroff or shutdown -h now commands but the tv box starts again immediately. 

As I said per the faq, Many features don't work on tv boxes.  This behavior is common.
