+
+## amlogic-armbian
+
+这里存放的文件是打包 Armbian 时需要使用的相关文件。
+
+## amlogic-dtb
+
+这里收录了各种型号机顶盒使用的 .dtb 文件，当你在使用安装脚本 `armbian-install` 将 Armbian 写入 EMMC 时，当你选择 `0` 进行自选 .dtb 文件安装时，需要填写具体的 .dtb 文件名称，你可以从这里查阅准确的文件名并填写。
+
+## amlogic-kernel
+
+在 `amlogic-kernel` 目录下存放的是编译 Armbian 需要的内核文件，使用方法见 [amlogic-kernel/README.md](amlogic-kernel/README.md)
+
+## amlogic-u-boot
+
+当你使用 5.10 内核的 Armbian 时，需要将 u-boot 文件复制为 `u-boot.ext` ，在 EMMC 中使用时，需要将 u-boot 文件复制为 `u-boot.emmc` 。这些复制工作在仓库的打包和安装/升级脚本中均已自动化完成，无需在人工复制。各型号对应的具体文件详见 [amlogic-u-boot](amlogic-u-boot)

+- files: 这里存放的是 Armbian 固件的个性化配置文件，将在打包脚本 `sudo ./rebuild` 执行时自动将相关文件集成到你的固件里。相关目录及文件命名均须与 Armbian 中 ROOTFS 分区 ( 即在 TTYD 终端里输入： `cd / && ls .` 你所看到的目录及各目录里面的文件名称 ) 保持完全一致。

+View Chinese description | [查看中文说明](README.cn.md)
+
+Some files needed for compilation related to amlogic-s9xxx kernel are stored in the directory.
+
+## amlogic-armbian
+
+The files stored here are related files that need to be used when packaging Armbian.
+
+## amlogic-dtb
+
+For more Armbian firmware .dtb files are in the amlogic-dtb directory. When writing into EMMC through `armbian-install`, select `0`: Enter the dtb file name of your box.
+
+## amlogic-kernel
+
+The kernel files needed to compile Armbian are stored in the `amlogic-kernel` directory. For usage, see [amlogic-kernel/README.md](amlogic-kernel/README.md)
+
+## amlogic-u-boot
+
+When using the 5.10 kernel version, you need to copy the corresponding [u-boot-*.bin](amlogic-u-boot) file to `u-boot.ext` (TF/SD card boot file) and `u-boot.emmc` (EMMC boot file).
+
+## common-files
+
+- files: The files in the `common-files/files` directory are custom files, which must be completely consistent with the structure and file naming and storage under the ***`ROOTFS`*** partiton in Armbian. If there are files in this directory, they will be automatically copied to the Armbian directory during `sudo ./rebuild`. E.g:
+
+```yaml
+etc/config/network
+lib/u-boot

+
+- patches: This is the directory where patch files are stored. You can place extension files, patches, etc. in this directory.

+# Kernel Instructions / 内核使用说明
+
+- Create a folder corresponding to the version number in the `amlogic-kernel` directory, such as `5.4.170` , and put the 4 needed kernel files into this directory (Other kernel files are not required, and putting them in does not affect use). Multiple kernels create directories in turn and put corresponding kernel files. Kernel files can be downloaded from the [kernel](https://github.com/ophub/kernel) repository or [custom compilation](https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/tree/main/compile-kernel). If the kernel file is not downloaded and stored manually, the script will also be automatically downloaded from the kernel repository at compile time.
+
+- 在 `amlogic-kernel` 目录下创建版本号对应的文件夹，如 `5.4.170` ，并将 4 个需要的内核文件放入此目录 (其他内核文件不需要，放入也不影响使用)。多个内核依次创建目录并放入对应的内核文件。内核文件可以从 [kernel](https://github.com/ophub/kernel) 仓库下载，也可以[自定义编译](https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/tree/main/compile-kernel)。如果没有手动下载存放内核文件，在编译时脚本也会自动从 kernel 仓库下载。
