[balbes150]

The new version 20200117 19.11.5.

Please note that the DTB configuration order has changed.

Now a single configuration method is used for all Rockchip Allwinner Amlogic platforms. The file (uEnv.txt) is used for configuration DTB all platforms. The system installation scripts in eMMC have changed accordingly. Added installation in eMMC for the g12 platform with color correction. For this purpose, the universal multiload for AML has been updated. For the system to work correctly on AML, you need to update the multiload.


For anyone who uses an eMMC installation , it is mandatory to perform a full eMMC backup before installation.

Update to version Armbian 19.11.5 (20200120) kernel 5.5.0-rc6.

Important change. the way DTB is configured has changed. The universal multiload for the AML platform has changed. Now a single configuration method is used for all platforms, using the file (uEnv.txt). You need to edit this file to configure it. You need to uncomment the two lines that are responsible for your platform and specify the correct DTB for your model. If you use this image to run on the one platform, you can delete it from the settings file (uEnv.txt) strings from other platforms.



Pay attention. The installation algorithm in eMMC has changed. My recommend that you perform a clean installation in eMMC. Be sure to make a full backup of eMMC before installing it in eMMC. Important. On models S905\S905X and partially on S912, there may be problems with starting the desktop, management is possible only via SSH or UART.

New versions of images 20200218.


Important change. With this version, you can easily add the desired u-boot on any PC (including Windows) .


To do this, new versions of u-boot are downloaded on the site.

Rules for using the new u-boot option. Download, Armbian image, unpack. Write image Armbian to the SD card. Download and write the desired version of the u-boot file to SD card. Configure the DTB and the launch string (APPEND) in (uEnv.txt) for the desired model\platform.


Pay attention. Now you don't need to write u-boot with complex commands, you write the u-boot image with the same program as you usually write an Armbian image. This allows you to configure the system to run (including writing a u-boot image) on any PC (including Windows).


Pay attention. The new version changed the size of the partitions that are obtained when writing an image (all images have a fixed size of 5GB). This u-boot entry option only applies to the new version 20200218 and subsequent versions. Don't try this for old images. This will not work on older images.

Test version of the universal image (20200314) for installation in eMMC on s905 chips with a 5.6 kernel. Please note that this is only a test version, which has a number of disadvantages. The amount of RAM available after installation will be 1 GB (including for systems launched from external media). After installation, you need to manually expand the ROOT_EMMC partition, after installation it will be approximately 8GB. There may be other bugs. I checked the installation mode on the Vega S95 Telos S905. My system starts normally from eMMC. To install it you need to run the script from the root user (install-aml-s905-emmc.sh).
