Hi to All , 

 

I have a google TV box HEVC H.265 S82 RAM 2GB ROM 8GB. I would like to install Ubuntu desktop / server  on it . Can Someone help me which link I have to go and download 

 

I need to install ubuntu server (make tv box a webserver) 

 

Best Regards, 

 

Which chip S802 or S812 in your model ?

Dear my model number is S82 

 

See the attach pic 

 

Thank you 

 

 

I can only assume, you probably have a model on the S812 chip. For a more precise definition show a photo of the TV set-top box or a link to the description or the firmware for your model.

I cannot get the firmware but I took pictures of the TV set-top box 

 

see the attach 

 

note : here is the link for more information about the device where I bought it from aliexpress

Hi, i have tried to install ubuntu on my h96 pro + tv box. It has s912 cpu with new mali 820, 3gb ram ddr4, 32 gb internal flash.
I have used the latest 9/7/2017 armbian-s912-ubuntu-xenial-3.14.29-mate on external sd card, but the gxm-q200-3g.dtb in the dtb's folder doesn't work.
Were can I get a suitable dtb file to match the right HW configuration on my device (assuming the armbian kernel version I have used does support it...)
I have tried the libreELEC-s912.arm-8.2-816 image, and succeded to boot successfully to kodi with the gxm-q200-k3-pro.dtb file, so I guess the kernel does support my hardware, but this dtb file doesn't help me boot ubuntu.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks.
