Install Armbian on Phicomm n1/S905d V2
Prepare the USB Install Drive
- download the image file:
versiion 5.77 is recommended, by i think v5.78 works too. https://yadi.sk/d/pHxaRAs-tZiei/OLD/5.78/S905
-
write the image to USB drive using Etcher or rufus
-
5.62 and later: modify the USB drive file:
/Volumes/BOOT/uEnv.ini# change the dtb setting to use s905d # dtb_name=/dtb/meson-gxl-s905x-khadas-vim.dtb dtb_name=/dtb/meson-gxl-s905d-phicomm-n1.dtb bootargs=root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0
Boot Into the OS
https://www.right.com.cn/forum/thread-322991-1-1.html in the n1 shell:
reboot update
before it boots, insert usb into the usb port which is close to the hdmi port wait a while, n1 boots into the armbian os on the usb stick, the default use is root:1234
Copy OS to Internal EMMC and Boot OS without USB Stick
nand–sata-install
after that, just shutdown the sys, and remove usb stick. Upon next startup, it would boot using internal storage!
