Image for A95X box

morning guys

any builds for my old F2 A95X with a S905X2 please? seems a shame to waste something with 4gb ram lol

cheers and have fun!

me again

I've dug out a Nexbox A95X with 2gb ram, S905X

i tried it with chewitt test build but nothing, any ideas on that one?

thanks again!

S905X boxes should work quite well, S905X2 less so (unless hardware decode disabled) .. "but nothing" doesn't really describe a problem that would could respond to

fair comment lol

ok so this box has been 'dead' for over a year, maybe 2, it's used to have one of 'balbes images' burnt to the internal mmc but I 'hosed it' one day with a 'dodgy upgrade'

I downloaded your latest LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-10.85.0-box.img.gz image, changed the uenv.ini to meson-gxl-s905x-nexbox-a95x.dtb but absolutely nothing on the TV (using the toothpick method)

at least when I tried an image with the F2 box I could see the A95X splashscreen on the TV

yours confused

the easiest way to get things working again would be to use Amlogic burning tool to restore the correct factory image for the box

well I use arch linux and I tried to use this https://github.com/khadas/utils but it's made for ubuntu and apt won't install on arch so I've drawn a bit of a blank.....I did actually put the original image back on the F2 box but I can't remember what I used lol.......it was defo a command line utility but I've built a new PC and slept a few times since then.......so more

nice day to you sir

edit: right I tried this https://github.com/Stane1983/aml-linux-usb-burn

but I'm getting

Waiting for Amlogic device to be connected...

even though I can see it with lsusb

Bus 005 Device 006: ID 1b8e:c003 Amlogic, Inc. GX-CHIP

bahh!!!!

Did you push in the button with a tooth pick? If that is not working you might have to open it up and short a couple of traces to force it into recovery mode.

I got a bit further (by running as sudo) but it is bombing out

Initializing ddr ........[OK]

Running u-boot ........[OK]

[KO]

I think I need to bin this one now cos it's taking up too much of my time.....

which is probably better spent trying to find an image and dtb that works on the F2 A95X

cheers
