Installation for TICTID TX6 Plus Android TV box (Amlogic S905X3)

Hello,

How do I install LibreELEC on a TICTID TX6 Plus Android TV box (Amlogic S905X3)?

I tried installing using "Generic Box Image LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-11.0.0-box.img.gz".

But that did not work. Am I supposed to choose a specific dtb file? If so, which one?

Thanks.

First read the LE11 release notes so you understand the limitations of AMLGX on an S905X3 board. Then (as per the notes) read the Amlogic boot instructions in the wiki: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/hardware/amlogic - there is no specific device-tree for that box but pick another SM1

Android box and it will probably work (they are all fairly similar).

Thanks for your help. I picked the first SM1 box from the list. But when I try to boot via SD card and reset button, I receive the following error message:

*** Error in mount_flash: mount_common: Could not mount UUID=2702-0914 ***

### Starting debugging shell for boot step: mount_flash... type exit to quit ###

# _

Do you know what it means? I don't have a keyboard attached to type anything.

Thanks again.

It means the KERNEL init script cannot find the first partition on the SD card to mount it and decompress the SYSTEM file; which is odd since U-Boot could see the same partition to load the KERNEL file in the first place. Perhaps experiment with other SD cards and a different device-tree file. You could also try setting "boot=/dev/mmcblk1p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk1p2" in uEnv.ini instead of the current boot=GUID/disk=GUID content.

Thanks for your advice. I changed the setting to "boot=/dev/mmcblk1p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk1p2," which made a difference: it now boots to the LibreELEC logo!

However, it gets stuck at the logo. Any idea why? Any other suggestions?

Cheers.

In the absence of a log file, no idea. Perhaps try other device-tree files?
