Hi

 

I would like to install armbian on my Mecool M8s pro w which has an ARM-Cortex-A53 (Amlogic S905W) processor.

 

Would anyone be able to please let me know how to do this or give me a broad idea of steps I should take as a beginner?

 

Thank you

 

Fred

Try steps from s90xx instructions. Just try different dtb files.

I have purchaed the MeCool M8S Pro W 2g / 16g box also.

 

I have not been able to run Armbian on this box via SD card, although I was able to get CoreElec running. I copied the .dtb file from CoreElec and used it with my Arbian config and it did not boot.

I placed the file in both dtb and the dtb folder for extlinux and I edited both config files appropriately. I have tried the provided DTB files to no avail.

 

If I have a working dtb file with CoreElec; does that mean it WILL work with Armbian?

 

Thanks for your time.
