September 28, 20251 yr Hello, i tried "Armbian_community_25.11.0-trunk.208_Aml-s9xx-box_plucky_edge_6.16.7_xfce_desktop.img" booting from a usb stick. First it looked, that it loads (the minix logo disappeared for some 100ms) which indicates that it loads, but then at the end the internal android booted. For comparison "LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20250926-2f25ce3-box.img.gz" booted fine, even from the sdcard slot. My final goal is, to run "tvheadend" as server with a "Hauppauge WinTV-soloHD" Usb STick and "Moonlight" client for "sunshine" on a 1280x1024@60hz nec display. Can anybody pls tell me what i must download? Thx.
September 28, 20251 yr Per the install instructions on this site, if you have ever booted a different distribution then your box will be incompatible with the Armbian build. Although it is generally using coreelec builds that will do this. I don't know about the libreelec builds. Also you need to provide a lot more information about what you are doing. There are a number of steps in installing armbian on a TV box and you haven't specified any of the steps you performed. Finally debugging boot issues often requires that you find the debug serial console connection on the board and hook up a usb uart reader to get at the boot messages.
September 28, 20251 yr Author "if you have ever booted a different distribution then your box will be incompatible with the Armbian build" are you serious? No matter after all this linux on arm shit problems i had last week, i really must say that a windows 10 + kodi.exe on a thin client is really the best in quality (dxva) and stability. And it only eats 1-2w more power than this u1 thingie. So, i just keep my moonlight on windows and put tvheadend together with the wintv solohd into a vmware player. bye bye.
