hi, can you provide the kernel source for this image?

https://github.com/150balbes/Amlogic_s905-kernel/tree/armbian

awesome thanks, also how can i boot from sd without android installed on emmc? emmc is empty right now.

All images Armbian default has a built-in u-boot. If no eMMC in u-boot, the processor should use u-boot from SD card (from armbian).
You need to rename the file s905_autoscript in aml_autoscript (replace the existing file with this one).

I just keep getting
GXL:BL1:9ac50e:a1974b;FEAT:ADFC318C;POC:3;RCY:0;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:AA;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:AA;USB:8;LOOP:1;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:AA;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:AA;USB:8;LOOP:2;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:AA;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:AA;USB:8;LOOP:3;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:AA;SD:0;READ:0;CHK:AA;USB:8;

on the serial uart.

ok it seems like the image contains uboot.bin and not uboot.sd.bin which is necessary for sdcard boot. flashing that and renaming the autoscript did the trick

I haven’t checked booting with u-boot from SD card. Perhaps in the latest version I lost it.
add u-boot

What kernel are you using, still 3.14.xx?

Yes. Kernel 4 not yet ready for use in the images for normal users.

Updated images (test 20170313) , now they default u-boot from VIM (s905x). In the same images used by u-boot from s905.

Do you plan to update desktop images using this kernel?

So far this is not working-HDMI video output, so it makes no sense in the desktop images (images on the screen is not).

A test image of Ubuntu with the Mate kernel 4.9 (test\4_9\20170329) if you wish
to see , let the poor, but the image of the desktop (the image is
doubling, how to cure, I have not yet found). Console output not
working, but the graphic image appears. Initial configuration you need
to perform either via SSH or via UART. After the initial setting, after
restarting there is a DE. :slight_smile:

Hi, Balbes150:
Does the build use the Amlogic Openlinux official linux-4.9?
