Test version 20171121.
-
For those who have a file system error. Try the test version of the image (the image to be in the directory 20171120). Pay attention, running should only be done with a USB stick.
-
Until then, while I will operate my model TV box S812, I hope to release a new version. But now I have a big problem with the free time. I hope next week to find the time to answer your questions and build the new version. May be able to resolve the issue with the file system error, but I'll need help with testing, because I have all the images work fine with USB and SD card without a file system error.

So no benefit in doing suggested changes.
Try to record on the USB flash drive image MXIII_Plus, that does not change it, connect to the Minix and turn on the power.

Do I need to create a folder called 'boot' and copy boot.scr into it, or is boot.scr on my SDCard and USB?
Yes.
All your steps to enable multi-boot on Minix (using the "toothpick method") , without the presence of the SD card /boot/boot.scr is not working. Create a directory /boot and then move the file "boot.scr" . Then, once again run the "toothpick method".
-
For Minix you have to activate multi-boot with additional steps (this only applies to models from Minix).
1. Download and burn image on SD card (note that for a one-time activation necessarily need a multi-boot SD card). Boot loaders (u-boot) platform S812 can'T run the update script from USB.
2. Create on SD card directory "boot". Download the script "boot.scr" (it is specifically designed to activate the multi-boot on Minix). Copy the script to the boot directory on the SD card (should be /boot/boot.scr)
3. To connect the card to Minix and run "toothpick method"
4. If you are lucky, LE to boot from SD card, but the experience of many users, often the system will fail to start. In this case, you need to write an image LE on the USB flash drive, after recording what not to change in it. Connected to the Minix and turn on the power. Pay attention, the first launch should connection to USB ports only one USB drives (all other USB devices must be disabled).

This is pic of what is recorded on my USB:-
I'm tired of repeating the same thing ....
the activation of multi-boot is possible ONLY WITH SD CARD. After a single activation multi-boot from SD card, you can start the system from USB stick or SD card.
[S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC
The new version of images 20170915. Pay attention, i'm add to image custom script s805_autoscript_data_to_emmc. This script allows you to use a combined version of the system start-up. The system located on external media (SD card or USB flash drive) and user data (movies and stuff) and the settings LE are placed in the internal memory eMMC. This significantly speeds up access to data. This is useful for playback of "heavy" video, the code is not enough bandwidth of a USB or SD card for bestrowpseudo the desired data. To use this function you need to rename the script s905_autoscript_data_to_emmc in s905_autoscript . Details of this function see here .
The steps described in this topic, you do not need to script does everything you need automatically.

Hi balbes150
The idea of your build is test the kernel 4.12 or Kodi 18?
You have choosed 2 key elements that are unstable, maybe you should downgrade one of them (based on your own interest).
If you're interested, here's the test image with kernel 3.14 and KODI-18.
-
Thank you for the test. This is good news. So to test with new kernels can use a lighter system.
-
Sorry, forgot to give the link on the right s905_autoscript.
-
If you don't mind, please try to check the launch of this version of the image with sheath SATO on the model Wetek. Download
sdimage-SATO-201708281721-S9xxx.img.xz . Unzip. To record on the SD card. Download and add to the first section of the script s905_autoscript. Add the script "boot.ini". Rename the appropriate file of the dtb to the "dtb.img" (all available files are in the root, it is sufficient to rename). Try to start the system. I'm interested in the system start-up. If possible, it is advisable to check out a run from a USB drive.

boot.ini from ubuntu 16.04 wetek2 iis work
The script "boot.ini" for model WETEK, which may partially replace the activation of the universal multi-boot (which uses a script s905_autoscript). The order of use. Burn image on SD card. Add the correct "dtb.img" in the root media. Add the script "boot.ini". To connect media to the TV box and turn the power on. Pay attention to the nuances. The script "boot.ini" only runs from the SD card, but the operating system (LE or Linux) can be recorded to any external media (SD card or USB flash drive). To start the system from USB stick to TV box must be connected to two media - SD card "boot.ini" and USB stick with the desired system (which uses the script s905_autoscript). If you need the system is recorded on the SD card, you can add the script "boot.ini" and to implement the recommendations that are prescribed for the system, for example , add correct dtb file. Pay attention to the use of the image LE from this thread, for Wetek need to pick up a working dtb file from the directory /dtb on the media (copy it to the root and rename to "dtb.img").
-
I need the output of "printenv" and "help" (u-boot), is to write the correct "boot.ini".

Maybe I'm wrong, but as I recall, there need to activate the GPIO port (by default it is off) that would have included power to SATA adapter. I have not been able to obtain from the manufacturer info, which ports are needed for this.
