Hello,

 

I am starting with this beautiful box which seems in good condition. It boots from eMMC with the tcbox soft and I succeed to boot it with armbian 5.44 on sdcard after some hours on google.

 

Unfortunatly I an stuck on two issue to progress 

 

1) I would like to transfert now the sdcard config on emmc to avoid sdcard issue (I don't care about the tvbox soft) or at least use the emmc for storage and avoid the reliability issue od sdcard

    my linux does not see the emmc device , perhaps a dtb issue !

 

2) the syslog is very quickly flood by :

Jun  1 17:31:59 localhost systemd[1]: serial-getty@ttyS0.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
Jun  1 17:31:59 localhost systemd[1]: Stopped Serial Getty on ttyS0.
Jun  1 17:31:59 localhost systemd[1]: Started Serial Getty on ttyS0.
Jun  1 17:32:09 localhost systemd[1]: serial-getty@ttyS0.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
Jun  1 17:32:09 localhost systemd[1]: Stopped Serial Getty on ttyS0.
Jun  1 17:32:09 localhost systemd[1]: Started Serial Getty on ttyS0.

 

If you can help a beginner , I thanks you in advance

 

 

 

 

1. What is your exact model of TV box ?

2. Which version of the image are you using ?

3. What is the dtb file are you using ?

Thanks for the quick answer

 

The box is a MXQ PRO + which has a S905X 1.5ghz mira-450-GPU 10/100 mb/s ethernet wifi 2.4/5 ghz 2Gb RAm and 16 Gb emmc. 4 USB , 1SD card port HDMI and sound port.

 

WiFi chip is a strange hs.... unknown 

 

I used this code : Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Debian_stretch_4.16.1_server_20180515.img.xz

 

and a DTB file : meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb

Use a version with kernel 3.14. It can be installed in the eMMC (in the subject about s905 is in the first message details of setup and installation).

thanks will check and continue to read the forum

 

I got 3.14 Armbian, I Installed it on sdcard and it boot with the gxl-s905x-p212.dtb file rename in dtb.img.

 

after password change , I run ./install.sh without any strange message

 

but when I reboot without the sdcard the screen is frozen on the boot logo.

 

Any ideas of what could be wrong ?

 

It reboot correctly from the sdcard.

 

thanks for help
