Welcome to the Armbian Community Builds for Amlogic S9xx based TV Boxes
TV Boxes are not officially supported by the Armbian project. These builds are maintained by community members (like you).
- powering with PD capable PSU is not possible. It has to be dumb 5V
- To change display resolution, add below to the /boot/armbianEnv.txt:
extraargs=video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60
If you have variant with LCD display – here you can download driver.
Important: To be able to boot clean Armbian mainline based u-boot / kernel experiences, you need to remove incompatible Petitboot loader that is shipped with the board.
Attach the device to a display and keyboard. Power on. Petitboot will load
From the Petitboot menu, go for “Exit to shell” and these commands to remove the Petitboot:
# flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0
# flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1
# flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2
# flash_eraseall /dev/mtd3These commands can also be executed via a serial console, if you have an Odroid UART cable
This will make your SPI flash memory empty and would start from SD on next boot.
In case you want to put Petitboot back to the board, user these instructions.
In case you are experiencing reboot troubles, make sure to update u-boot. How? Run this command as root:
armbian-install -> "Update bootloader"
