Hi.
I would like to try this rom on my M8S Pro L but I don't want to flash it.
Is there a way to boot it from SD Card just like LibreElec does?
Thanks in advance

Alright, maybe someone can assist. I grabbed this firmware package: NEXBOX-A95X_S905X_7.1_8189_8g1g_171118
It came along with these files:
aml_sdc_burn.ini
aml_upgrade_package.img
u-boot.bin.sd.bin
I wondered about the u-boot.bin.sd.bin and was about to delete that, then I googled and found this VIM related hier gefunden: https://docs.khadas.com/vim1/CreateBootableSDCard.html

Download VIM1 U-Boot or build U-Boot to get the bootloader blob for your SD-Card.
No matter which method you choose, you need to keep in mind that there are different bootloader blobs for different boot disks/media:
U-Boot blob u-boot.bin.sd.bin is built for SD-Cards
U-Boot blob u-boot.bin is built for eMMC Storage
Insert the SD-Card into your PC, and make sure the disk is unmounted:
$ umount /dev/sdb1
Format the SD-Card as Fat32:
$ sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
Run dd to write the U-Boot blob into the first sector of SD-Card:
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=/dev/sdb conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=444
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=/dev/sdb conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1

I dont have a pc and i have successfully made a bootcard of another OS from twrp terminal. And i wonder if i could use this method to burn atvx to my internal storage. I have a couple questions if so. My system somehow got wiped out and i have no pc. I have the pre burned sd card stuff. The .UBOOT file and the ini. Was just wondering if its at all possible to do this with commands. Like the ones above. And where to get right image..... Also i have a95x r2 with S905w chip. It has a s905x dtb.... Edit i found i firmware i can use but its old
