I am trying to load armbian server with a mainline (at least 4.9) linux kernel on my s912 box. I currently have a the 3.14 linux Kernel running fine.

 

The mainline images on yadidisk dont seem to have as many dtb files as the image i used and they dont run anything. 

 

Steps I have tried:

 

factory reset and load image

factory reset and copy dtb files from 3.14 image and load image

copy the autorun zip files and load image.

i do not get any action on the 4.9 images or the 4.18 images

but i can reload the 3.14 images

 

is there any other method to try?

You have two options, either you collect the correct dtb for your model, or contact the manufacturer (seller), that he would have collected for you the desired dtb.

Hi thank you for the original Image and all the work you have done on the tv boxes! I have some files from the manufacturer. Is it possible to get the dtb file from them? Is it possible to know what dtb is used when i load the 3.14 image?

 

 

can i use the dtb from the 3.14 image on the mainline image?

Hi, i have the same tv box T95R Pro , 2/8 Gb,  from my experience the best and most stable dtb file for s9xxx kernel 5.3 and up is :gxm-vega-s96.dtb.

i tried all gxm inside dtb folder , that one is the most stable and gives no connection error.

Good luck.

 

 

 

for the T95KPro  S912 Iam using the DTB of the Khadas Vim2
