Armbian on Amlogic S805 Android TV Box
Installing Armbian 20.10 Bullseye (with Linux 5.9.0) on an old A95X Android TV Box. Everything went well (follow this guide) - New link download - Afterwards I installed OpenwebRx Plus (follow this guide), with RTLSDR V.3 dongle. Now my SDR receiver is online, so I replaced my RaspberryPi 3. The performance of this Amlogic S805 is exceptional, I was very surprised. 😋

Inserisco la scheda SD nel mio Android TV e accendo l'alimentazione. Avvia l'avvio di Linux dalla scheda ma si blocca a metà dell'installazione e non procede. Non riesco a farlo funzionare con nessuno dei file che ho provato. Mi potete aiutare? Grazie

I could not find Armbian 20.10 Bullseye Linux 5.9.0-arm-64 , tried other images without success on my amlogic MXQ with S805 and S905 , is it possible to you to leave an ISO image for us ?
Thank You

tested on my TVbox S905W2 without problems. Except one... the codecs.
In the first screenshot (under "OpenwebRx receiving at 21 MHz in WSPR mode") there are no dmr and dstar, while in the second (under "Rx HFDL") they are present. Did you add them using codecserver-softmbe or codecserver-mbelib-module? If so, how did you do it?
I'm asking you because I've never succeeded on armbian. I can compile and install the modules without problems, but after this the services don't start, not even manually. And the configuration file in /etc/codecserver/codecserver.conf isn't even created. Also tried on Orange Pi PC, always with Armbian obviously, same result.
Thanks in advance,
Andrea
With my TV Box I didn't find any slowdowns, audio ok! I deactivated Desktop mode from ARMBIAN - CONFIG so I have more memory for OWR+.
