If there isn't a matching dtb file for your box within the dtbs folder and you can't find a suitable dtb on this wiki or in the Manjaro forums then you should try '''meson-g12a-sei510.dtb''' or '''meson-sm1-sei610.dtb''' first:

If you [https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Switching_Branches switch to the Manjaro unstable branch], you have a choice between the '''linux-aml''' and '''linux-vim''' kernel packages but only one can be installed at a time. Some users report better results with '''linux-aml''' whilst others can only boot using '''linux-vim'''. It is worth trying both to see which works best for you.
The Ugoo AM6 images use the linux-khadas kernel by default. You are more likely to get your TV box's onboard wifi working by installing the linux-odroid kernel instead.
