NOTE: This will overwrite the Android ROM on the eMMC flash and attempt to install Armbian. Before beginning, make sure you have a backup of the stock Android ROM in the event the installation fails or you want to revert back to Android in the future. Proceed at your own risk.
- Boot into Armbian using the microSD method
- Run the following commands in a terminal window
sudo su
cd /root/
ls - Find the install- .sh file for the chipset hardware
aw = allwinner
aml = amlogic
rk = rockchip - Run the install script
sudo ./install-aml.sh
- Once the Armbian OS finishes copying to the eMMC, shutdown Armbian
- Unplug power from the TV box
- Remove the SD/microSD card from the system
- Power the TV box back on to boot from the eMMC storage
- If everything worked as expected, Armbian should boot from the internal eMMC storage and no longer require the SD/microSD card
