# Inphic S805 Teardown
Goes for ~~$15~~ (not anymore, you snooze you lose) $40 on [AliExpress](http://www.aliexpress.com/item/inphic-i5-S805-wifi-smart-tv-box-set-top-box-quad-core-1g-8g-android4-4/32504955757.html), has same SoC as the [Odroid C1](http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:c1_hardware). Looks like a poor man's Odroid to me!
We bravely attempt to build and run mainline kernel on this little board. For that we join forces with the awesome [linux-meson](http://linux-meson.com/doku.php) project.
## Prerequisites
- arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain ([arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc/) on AUR)
- [Mainline kernel](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) clone
- [Buildroot](http://www.buildroot.org/)
## Usage
Taken from http://linux-meson.com/doku.php
### Kernel
```bash
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- multi_v7_defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- LOADADDR=0x00208000 uImage dtbs
```
Kernel and DTS will be in `arch/arm/boot`.
### Rootfs
```bash
$ cd buildroot-2015.11
$ cp ../buildroot.config .config
$ make menuconfig # customize if necessary
$ make
```
Copy relevant files to a FAT formatted SD card, connect to board serial port, and stop the uboot auto boot sequence. Then run:
```
# mmcinfo
# fatload mmc 0:1 0x21000000 uImage
# fatload mmc 0:1 0x22000000 rootfs.cpio.uboot
# fatload mmc 0:1 0x21800000 meson8b-mxq.dtb
# setenv bootargs "console=ttyAML0,115200"
# bootm 0x21000000 0x22000000 0x21800000
```
