If I understand correctly, you are trying to use DTB from the Telos model for Meta. It won't help , they have different equipment.

The S905 models have a very old u-boot. It does not support installing the system in eMMC. There is only one workaround: install Armbian with u-boot replacement and then install LE. But replacing u-boot to limit the size of RAM used, you will only use 1Gb.

Going via this approach will limit ability of the box to perform if the ram space is reduced to 1gb from 2gb.

I checked the image on Telos, WiFi works. It is possible that Meta uses a different chip or needs different firmware. What is in eMMC ? What other systems have you run previously on this model ? Try running Armbian and checking the WiFi (it uses different settings and firmware).

Frist-I changed the image to Telos, same issue,with Wifi not connected..

Secondlt-

'When I write the image to emmc, it appear to write successfully, when I removed the SD Card, the system will not boot to LE, the power is on the box but there is no Tronsmart start up logo the screen was just black. I reflash back to Tronsmart Android firmware, then went through the process of emmc, same issue the system will not boot from emmc.

Any suggestions to make it boot from emmc.

Thanks

Code

connmanctl
agent on
scan wifi
services
connect wiki_blahblahblah_psk

e123enitan1 SSH in and run "dmesg | paste" and share the URL while connected to ethernet, and then run ^ those commands and see if you can connect WiFi from the console.

URL for log http://ix.io/28NS, I followed the instruction, what is next?

Hi Finally, I was able to burn "LibreELEC-ARMv8.aarch64-9.80-devel-20200720113414-38e34a4-amlgx.img" into a SD card, however, the image can connect to wire networks, but not to the wifi ,my box image is "meson-gxbb-vega-s95-meta"

Any suggestions to make the system connect at least I can get log report.

Thanks

I have installed LE on an amlogic box in the past but for the life of me cannot figure out this new installation process.

So I wrote LE aarch64 on a micro SD using LE usb SD creator.

I edited the line in the uenv file to reflect qxm200 and then 201 when the first didn’t work and popped it into my S912 T95Z Max box.

Previously I used to be able to boot by typing in reboot update into terminal emulator. This doesn’t work now.

I have no idea what universal multi boot is or where to find it. I read one tutorial where it said to go into android settings - about - system and then point it to aml_autoscript file but I don’t get that option in my android settings. I also tried the toothpick method but it didn’t work.

Could someone please guide me as to what I’m missing out. Thank you.

I share your pain I have tried several times, using diff images, followed the steps as prescribed in this forum, yet am not able to install the latest in USB or SD Card, to the point that I have bricked two boxes in the process, but I was able to recovered them through manufacturer firmware, If you are able to get this working please share your experience and how. Presently I am on Coreelec but my preference is Libreelec

@ HiassofT, Apology I don't mean to divert the this thread, issue is along the same line, my remote can only power on/off, so I couldn't use it to navigate around LE.

My Box is Tronsmart s95 Meta, what is the approach to get this to work, this this first time I am experiencing such issue, it works on previous version of LE. Please let me know if I should create a new thread and how to resolve this issue.

Apology again Thanks

hi,

I got information and firware from Beelink

I don't know how to make your box, I will give you a pdf, maybe it will help you understand how to do it

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uwpvshk0bxn0…181120.pdf?dl=1

Thanks for the info, I found the the document for Tronsmart and ROM in the website here is the link in case someone else need it Vega S95 Pro, Meta, Telos Firmwares -

Lastly, how do you process the U-boot, I am still confused as to how to process this, please share any link or how you effect the installation.

Thanks

"Restore the regular firmware and perform a clean multi-boot activation. Right now, there is a piece of shits in your system that interferes with the normal operation of LE."

What do you mean s...t i have android 8.1 (installed 2 days ago using (USB_Burning_Tool) and libreelec on sd & pendrive card (which ones?)

should I upload new firmware during each LE test?

Hi Jerry, could please write a simple guide for the restore of firmware And perform a clean multi-boot, I don't know how perform these two processes.

Thanks

Error in this. This is for s905x2\s922 chips. You need amlgx (s905x\s912) or amlgxbb (recommended for s905).

For s905\s905x\s912, you only need to configure the DTB, and you don't need to add or change anything.

Hi Babels, Among the listed DTB, I tried these five, in each occasion, the system write some scripts, but when it try to reboot, it get stuck at Libreelec Logo, hence it not launch to Kodi.

Quote from chewitt

The boot arrangements for legacy and mainline kernels are completely different so attempting updates is just asking for a pile of support issues, so a forced reinstall is the best option. It's no problem to backup and restore Kodi data between versions as that doesn't change much, although if the backup contains binary add-ons you'll see a list of add-on "fail to start" errors until newer versions are downloaded and updated. That's nothing new though, it's the same as any LE major-version update.

The main idea we've asked the Availink folks to grasp is; if they develop something that works on the Amlogic 4.9 kernel today they will be screwed in the future when Amlogic bumps to 4.19 (or god forbid, something newer) and they will never get it upstream to the mainline kernel as it won't follow kernel APIs and coding standards. However if they create a driver that runs on the mainline kernel today, they will be free to add whatever hacks are needed to backport it onto Amlogic bsp kernels (as no rules apply there). That's been understood, and we also persuaded them to relicense the driver under GPLv2 instead of something proprietary and restrictive.

So things are progressing and I'm able to compile the Availink demod (or an earlier version, I didn't rebase on it for a while) but it's still early stage and only one of several components needed for DVB support. Work also needs to be done on the tuner drivers that are used with their demo, which exist in various forms (not all have good prevenance for license and future upstreaming) but these needed to be deconstructed and adapted into independent modular drivers; the Amlogic kernel compiles them into a single monolithic blob, which is meh. Then the major missing piece is a new V4L2 demux; the mainline kernel has a completely different DRM architecture so we cannot repurpose code from the Amlogic kernel. And finally if we get that done, it should all be describable from device tree so that different tuner/demod combos work without special compiling. The availink folks are not completely sold on the whole story yet, but if we can at least get their demod and tuners to build alongside a new demod, the rest can take tifme.

Thanks for this lengthy write up, it appear that this require a significant efforts to make this happen. That said, I simply wish to wipe off old LE from emmc then install a fresh LE 9.

Could you please write a simple guide in a logical fashion for newbies like my self. often the installation guides are descriptive not easy to follow for some like me.

Thanks

Creating a full eMMC backup is easy. Deploy the latest LE system from this theme (or Armbian) on any good media (SD card or USB media). The size of the media (SD card or USB flash drive) is selected depending on the EMMC data filling. For example, to create a full compressed copy of eMMC standard Android, media size of 8 GB is sufficient. Start the system on the TV box and in the LE settings menu, select work with eMMC and create a copy. The copy creation procedure starts, and the system shuts down automatically when it is complete. Depending on the parameters of the data size and speed of the media where the backup is being copied, the time may take approximately 5 to 40 minutes. After creating a copy, it is recommended to save the copy file in a safe place (PC, NAS, additional USB flash drive, etc.). The created copy file is located in the directory (/storage/backup/ddbr). When using Armbian with DE, the DDBR utility is used to create a copy (select the compressed copy option). Ease of using Armbian to create a copy, you can clearly see the entire process of creating a copy with progress indicators, and after creating a copy, you can immediately launch the browser from Armbian and place a copy on a shared resource. The copy in Armbian is located in the directory (/ddbr).

I burned this build into SD 32gb as follows:

I downloaded this image "LibreELEC-ARMv8.arm-9.80-devel-20200617130046-569f834-amlg12.img"

Then burned into SD

Then Open DTB>Amlogic

Then copied " meson-gxbb-vega-s95-meta"

Then opened uEvn

Then pasted FDT=/dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-vega-s95-meta.dtb

Then removed SD from PC and insert into Box reboot, LE is not created for the SD drive

I am not sure if I have missed a step, one thing that came to mind is the universal boot, do I need to update my android box first Uboot or the system does it by itself

Here are the flies in the folder

Please help I qm ding to have LE 9 at lease working on SD drive.

Hello,

new here, I have the

h96 max x3

and I got libreelec up and running on a usb stick using this image:

LibreELEC-ARMv8.arm-9.80-devel-20200609080643-fe68818-amlgx.img

and by adding

FDT=/dtb/amlogic/meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb

to the uEnv.txt file

I did a backup of the emmc and havent tried to install it yet.. just wanted to ask a few things:

-this multiboot I read about..I can't find any clear instructions on what to do or check this. Do I need to update or install something additionally? Add an image to the usb?

- CEC seems to be the only thing "missing" when running form USB, otherwise everything seems ok. Any tips on how to get it working?

I have libreelec on a rpi3 but wanted to move to the android box for h265 and better use..

Hi how did you create a backup of emmc, I have two boxes of Tronsmart 905s one with Android and the other loaded in emmc Kodi 17.6 201801228:2 Kernel:Linux 3.14.

What I intend to achieve are:

1, Upgrade LE Kodi 17.6 to Kodi 19, I am wondering if the tar file will work and how do I go about doing this?

2, Load the Android with dual booth LE SD Card

But first I want backup these two boxes before I start playing around before I brick any of the box.

Thanks
