Manjaro can be installed from and to micro SD card or USB disk. It is not currently possible to install Manjaro to eMMC on Amlogic TV boxes.
Manjaro can be installed from and to micro uSD card or USB disk. After installation it is possible to use /boot/install-aml-emmc.sh to copy your installation onto eMMC on some Amlogic TV boxes. Beelink S922x based boxes are known not to currently work with this script and there are likely other models that also won't work booting from eMMC so use the script at your own risk.

After using a disk imaging tool such as [https://www.balena.io balenaEthcher] or '''gnome-disks''' to write one of the vim3 Manjaro ARM images to an SD card or USB disk, mount the disk and edit '''BOOT_MNJRO/extlinux/extlinux.conf'''. You must edit the line that begins with '''FDT /dtbs/amlogic/''' to point to the dtb file that you wish to use to configure your device tree.

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-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.

Some TV box users have successfully unbricked their boxes by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsyS3p5asZs shorting a couple of pins on the eMMC chip]. This requires opening your TV box which will likely invalidate your warranty, if you have one.
If you've bricked your AMlogic TV box but suspect the hardware is still OK you can try [https://www.cnx-software.com/2016/11/19/how-to-create-a-bootable-recovery-sd-card-for-amlogic-tv-boxes/ creating a bootable recovery uSD card] to re-flash your firmware.
 
As a last resort, several users have unbricked their boxes by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyZJVD5SbSY shorting a couple of pins on the motherboard]. This requires opening your TV box which will likely invalidate your warranty, if you have one and is a bit tricky because the exact pins to short and their location varies between devices.
