basic situation
Xianyu bought Mobaibox 311-1a yst, and sent me 401a, with bluetooth but without wifi
This machine releases version v.955.05, system version 9, hardware version 1.0.0, device model M401A, manufacturer name: CIOT, CPU: amlogic
Software such as Dangbei Market, Lejia Market, Ant Market, Tomorrow Film and Television, and Little Apple Video Box Yunhai TV have been installed.
System applications include external system launcher, ai assistant, media center
The system upgrade can be directly flashed, copy the update file to the root directory of the U disk, and press the left button of the remote control to enter the flash machine when starting up.
The workflow is:
Wire brush firmware -> make bootable USB drive -> press reset to boot from USB drive (supported firmware is required) -> enter armbian system -> set user name, etc. -> expand USB drive space (cannot be backed up without expansion) -> backup original TV system -> install the system to the emmc card -> other follow-up installations
Most of the files required for this article are downloaded from github, and can also be downloaded from my Baidu share
1. Wire brush firmware
The problem solved by flashing the firmware: root, open adb, modify the loader so that the box can be booted from the U disk.
Brush method:
Open the flashing software - this article uses Amlogic USB Burning Tool_v2.1.6.8, version 3.2 does not know why there is a problem.
Load the flash package - this article uses android_tv_m401a_s905l3a.tar, downloaded from github, rooted, open adb
click start
Short-circuit the forced flashing point
Plug in the usb cable, use the one closest to the network port
Power on the box
At this time, the progress bar of the wire flashing software should start to move, release the short contact and wait for the flashing to complete
2. Make a bootable U disk
Function of the U disk: make an armbian boot U disk, let the box boot into the armbian system from the U disk, and follow-up operations are performed in armbian.
Production process:
Open the balenaEtcher software
Choose the appropriate armbian firmware, I am using Armbian_23.02.0_amlogic_s905l3a_jammy_5.15.86_server_2023.01.05.img, version 6.1.3 has a problem.
Select the target location and select the U disk. Note that all files in the U disk will be lost. Useful data should be backed up in advance.
Click flash to start making, and there will be a boot area in the U disk after completion
Find the uenv.txt file in the boot area, modify the FDT=/dtb/amlogic/meson-g12a-s905l3a- m401a .dtb in it, my box is 401a, choose the appropriate dtb according to the hardware, and the error will cause it to fail to start.
3. Start armbian from the U disk
The problem solved in this step: enter the armbian system, back up the original box firmware
Operating procedures:
Insert the U disk into the usb port near the network port
Because you need to set a password, find a keyboard with a usb port and plug it into another usb port
Press and hold the reset button (it's in a hole in the rear heat dissipation area, it's hard to find...)
Turn on the power, release the reset button (can be pressed 1 or 2 times)
The box boots into the armbian system
Follow the prompts to set the root password, create a user and password
The following are optional:
Use armbian-tf to expand the tf card space (used to store backup files)
Use armbian-ddbr to back up the original box firmware (very slow, but you don’t need to open the box and press the forced flash button if you want to restore the firmware, you can use it at your own discretion)
4. Write the system to emmc
Problem solved: writing system to box storage
Operating procedures:
Use the armbian-install command to install the system
Reboot once after completion (do not pull out the U disk first)
Use poweroff to shut down, pull out the U disk
boot into armbian
5. Subsequent installation software problems
5.1 Update apt, etc.
Use the apt update or upgrade command to update.
5.2 Install using armbian-software
5.2.1 Install docker
安装后出现Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/images/json": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied
Reason: docker uses unix:socket connection, root permission is required for execution.
Solution:
Temporary: Execute with sudo
Permanent: Add the user to the docker group, which has permission to use unix sockets. sudo groupadd docker; sudo gpasswd -a $user docker; (add user to docker group) newgrp docker; (update user group)
