Answer edited! Sorry, I mistakenly thought you were writing in my other repository.

This scripts WILL try to modify the bootloader environment. Normally that will not change the functionality of the image present on eMMC, but there is always a small risk.

I would recommend USB flash drive over sdcards.

Hi @devmfc but my stb box did not have a reset button is still can boot without press and hold the reset button ? Thanks.

You need some way to reset the box / get the box in update mode.

If there is no reset button, you'll have to find out which way you can reset your box. Sometimes it can be done with a remote control button combination or some app in android.

And of course, you can try to connect a serial adapter to the board and boot the image via the u-boot cli.
