Flash the file on a MicroSD with Balenaetcher
Turn off the TVbox (disconnect power plug)
Put the MicroSD into Tvbox, reinsert power plug, wait about 10 minutes,

If you can’t connect using SSH, connect a HDMI monitor and a keyboard,
Klipperscreen will be visible at boot, so…
press CTRL+ALT+F1 to have a tty1 terminal.
Type CTRL+ALT+F7 to return in Klipperscreen.
In Klipperscreen the mouse cursor is enabled,
so you can use it to connect to Wifi.
To remove the mouse cursor, edit KlipperScreen.conf
sudo nano /home/pi/printer:data/config/KlipperScreen.conf
[main]
show_cursor: False
or delete KlipperScreen.conf

INFO: Image based on Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Aw-h6-tv_jammy_edge_6.1.11.img by INOVATO QUADRA
(with quadra patches: ethernet and wifi working)
Tested on T95 Max Allwinner H6 4GB ram (only 3GB usable because of kernel) 32GB ROM, Wifi 2.4Ghz.
By default on this image the 2GB limit is removed,
but if your TVbox has >2GB of RAM and you see only 2GB:
sudo nano /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
Delete “mem=2048M”
save, close and reboot.

If the TVbox has eMMC, you can migrate the system from microSD to eMMC with
sudo armbian-config
If the TVbox has a Nand Flash, that is not possible.
You can verify if you have a nand or eMMC looking inside the TVbox.

I tried to build from Armbian git, but the latest kernels (6.x) are not compatible with the last quadra patches (Ethernet and Wifi not working).
