i my box is this; https://pt.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_736121.html

w95 Amlogic S905W 1.2GHz WiFi Android 7.1 2GB DDR3 + 16GB eMMC

I have done download of Armbian_22.11.0_Aml_s905w_bullseye_5.15.68_server_2022.09.17.img.xz

i use blatcher to flash to sd card

i already use on the past the FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb and it's working.

but now i chage extlinux.conf.bak to:

label Armbian
    kernel /zImage
    initrd /uInitrd
    fdt /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb
    append root=UUID=6ded43b9-25f0-42ff-9ec5-7c182e05be72 rootflags=data=writeback rw rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 loglevel=1 voutmode=hdmi disablehpd=false overscan=100 sdrmode=auto

and i change boot.ini to:


ODROIDN2-UBOOT-CONFIG

# set load addresses
setenv env_addr 0x10400000
setenv kernel_addr 0x11000000
setenv initrd_addr 0x13000000
setenv dtb_addr 0x1000000

if test "${devtype}" = ""; then setenv devtype "fdt /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb"; fi

# load uEnv.txt
load ${devtype} ${devnum} ${env_addr} uEnv.txt && env import -t ${env_addr} ${filesize}
setenv bootargs ${APPEND}

# Load kernel, dtb
load ${devtype} ${devnum} ${kernel_addr} ${LINUX}
load ${devtype} ${devnum} ${initrd_addr} ${INITRD}
load ${devtype} ${devnum} ${dtb_addr} ${FDT}
fdt addr ${dtb_addr}

# boot
booti ${kernel_addr} ${initrd_addr} ${dtb_addr}

and i change the file name u-boot-s905x-s912.bin to u-boot.ext
