I love the idea of the Raspberry Pi, but there are some cheaper alternative single board computers that offer a similar experience for a fraction of the cost. While the community support isn't quite what it is for the Pi, there are a ton of projects you can accomplish on the cheap with these little hidden gems. Keep an eye on AliExpress and Amazon and you can find SBC's sporting quad core ARM process with 2-4 GB of RAM for under $30, including a power supply and IR remote control.
The box used in this video is a Sunvell T95x I picked up refurbishesd on Amazon for $21 shipped. It sports a Quad Core Amlogic S905x @ 2GHz and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM.

Interesting! I got an Homatics TV Box, so I'll try out your guide. Steps are exactly the same of Coreelec installation 😁 Ok, I need a new USB key first...

Anyone know where to get a amlogic s912 image of Volumio? I think it’s aml9xxx

@i12bretro 2 жыл бұрын

@Sinus the build used in the tutorial claims to work on s912, although I hadn't tested it. I'll try to test it today or tomorrow to see if it works on my s912 device

Not specifically, but here's a thread of a community build for another board using the same SoC community.volumio.org/t/volumio-2-on-orange-pi-boards/8353/229

Unfortunately I can't find the menu where I can select the sd card for booting. Is that different with Android versions?

@i12bretro 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, sometimes its buried in settings > about > update and sometimes it's not on the TV box at all

In some TV boxes you can press special button on the box while you are booting the box. For example the button can take place inside the AV jack. You need take a stick, press and hold the button, then power on TV box, and when you will see some logo on screen, you can unpress the button. Or even earlier. So you will get in the special menu and be able to run the script.
