There is a flashable image that works, I'll PM you the link.
You'll need to unzip it onto your USB device or an SD card.
Enter the recovery menu (see https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/how-to-access-your-droidboxs-recovery-menu/ ) and select the Wipe data/factory reset option (use the Return/Go Back button on your remote if OK doesn't work). Confirm you're sure.
Once it completes, return to the initial recovery menu and select Update from ext, then either Update from udisk (for USB devices) or Update from sdcard (if you use a memory card). Finally select the ZIP that you had already extracted from the original ZIP on your USB device/memory card.
Allow the process to complete and reboot at the end.
Contact us ( [email protected] ) with the info mentioned here - http://www.droidboxforums.com/threads/what-to-include-if-you-need-to-e-mail-us.364/ - if the DroidBOX Wizard add-on isn't included and you want it. Mention that you need the Gotham version of the Wizard.

Having looked at their site, I'm not sure they have ARM builds (other than RaspberryPi and Freescale iMX6 based devices (somewhat confusingly, there is an iMX6 CPU that is totally unrelated to our iMX6 devices)), just in case you had previously been thinking about using something from their site.
Could you send me the link too please. Or can anybody else link to a working image, or know which type I should try? I also have a iMX6

Please note, flashing 3rd party firmware to a DroidBOX device will invalidate the warranty.
If you're reading this far, you probably know that already, but as you could theoretically end up with a non-working device, it is worth a mention.
