I recently got this tv box emulator thing but i now emulate games on my laptop for convineince. I decide to download armbian on the tv box so that i can set up pi-hole for network wide ad blocking.

Ive tried multiple times but i cant see to get it working.

Cpu: Amologic S905L

Ram:2 gig DDr3

ive been downloading this version https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases/download/Armbian_jammy_arm64_server_2026.02/Armbian_26.02.0_amlogic_s905l_jammy_6.1.161_server_2026.02.02.img.gz 

been using this dtb

meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb

been using this u bootfile named:

u-boot-s905x-s912

To reboot the system there is no button in the AV port and the box refuses to download any apk or app for terminal emulator, Developer tools are not available,threfore i prefer to do it through the update method.

the file structure

Ive been following these instructions from gemini
