Running Linux From SD Card or USB Flash Drive - Using Balbes150 Method And Files.

[balbes150]

Thanks balbes, I'll have a look when I get home.

I'm thinking that I might be able to find which pin is toggled from android, I have root and a terminal so I ought to be able to read the GPIO when I enable and disable SATA to find the difference.

EDIT:

So far I've identified the device it mounts as here in android:

/sys/devices/adc_keypad.45/input/input1/sata_ctl

means you can echo 1 > /sys/devices/adc_keypad.45/input/input1/sata_ctl as an easy way to enable the SATA port on boot from the init.rc for android at least.

In Openelec there /sys/devices/adc_keypad.45 but the rest of the key is missing. I'll keep looking.

Filled with a new website image Linux - armbian.

Working with cards and USB flash drives. The password "root" - 1234. The password for the user "user" is 1. Details can be found here.

Use on other models standard. To replace the dtb file on your. To switch screen resolutions - copy file s905_autoscript from the folder. In the image included two options for 1080 and 720. The default setting is for 1080.

Tx for this version of linux.
I have few problem thought.
First wireless isn't work on Telos.
Secondly, there is no sound.
Thirdly, why not specified this at first ?

Thanks for your effort.Now i could run linux(armbian) on my MXQ PRO.But i noticed no gpu hardware acceleration.Is it possible especially in browser?

[balbes150]

Possible. Need a new dtb file with support for recent changes and possible patches to the core.

[balbes150]

Updated version of Ubuntu. Now used to automatically detect the type of the model. Automatically selected the correct dtb file. It is necessary to update the multiboot. For this you need to download and run the new script. Specifically for your model. Catalog scripts with the models for Tronsmart Vega S95 is here. For use on models that are not yet included in the list of supported automatically, you need to burn as before your dtb file in the FAT partition.

Thank you.

When you disable a card or the flash drive, when you enable boot Android from the internal memory.

[RISCy Dude]

Hello Maurillo 1960, Welcome to Freaktab.
The installed Android will not be affected.
With SD card inserted(inside), box will boot to Linux.
With SD card Removed(not inside), box will boot to Android.
Cheers.

[Maurillo1960]

thank you for your answers! now i'm going to Linux-ize my S95!

As a workaround, USB sound card works.
