Hi, im thinking about a new low budget tablet with RK3562 to use with Armbian. The main points would be to have the console output on the LCD and maybe also the usability of touch for direct input. There is already someone that own a similar product? (tablet with soc RK3562 or just RK) Im newbie about serial console and debugging, eventually the unlock of bootloader will be a big job or the RK share compatibility in some aspects of booting and more? I found out that there is already a NPU support on github for the RK3562 (rknpu2 repo) Thanks for the replies to all.

Instead of using Volumio or Daphile, I installed Armbian_21.05.1_Rk322x-box_buster_legacy_4.4.194 to a MXQ Pro box. The box was shipped with Android 7, and I installed Devinfo to check if it is eMMC or NAND. It is lucky that my box equipped with eMMC, so I installed the OS easily. After that, I did some following steps: 1- Run rk322x-config: I select CPU 3228B-1.4 Ghz, board 322x MXQ, wifi ssv6X5X 2- Run nmtui to setup wifi connection 3- Armbian-config: to add something such as infra red 4- Set default sound card: hai@rk322x-box:/etc$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: DWI2SHDMI [DW-I2S-HDMI], de…

Here's all the information I dumped via adb: I'm new to this so I'm not sure if the efforts for rk3566 are 100% usable for this device, or a custom configuration is necessary.

I have issue with using v88 mars android box with Armbian Focal xfce kernel 4.4.194 (legacy). Installation to nand with multitool every time progress and finish without problem.

Hello, i am gonna make my h96 max rk3318 to NAS and download manager, so that's why i am going to install armbian, **my question is there a way to install armbian using usb?** cause i do not have sd card and not gonna buy it cause i already have so many broken sd card, so i think sd card is not reliable for me that is why i am gonna using usb flashdrive.

Hello everyone, I am a new Armbian user and don't have much experience with installing Armbian (both hardware and software operations). I have an old TVBox with an RK3399 chip as shown in the attached picture. Although I have spent time searching the Internet about installing Armbian on this hardware, all my efforts have come to a dead end. So I ask for help from you to install Armbian on this hardware of mine. Thank you very much. Wishing you a Merry Christmas.

Hello SliTaz community, I would like to know how I could install SliTaz on an Android TV box powered by a Rockchip RK3229 processor. I understand that the standard SliTaz ISO is for x86 architecture, but my device uses ARM. Is there any ARM-compatible version of SliTaz that could run on this hardware? Or is there a way to build a custom ARM rootfs with the SliTaz ARM toolchain and use it with a compatible kernel and bootloader? Any help, guidance, or example would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I have a RK3228A TV Box which is able to properly boot armbian when flashed to its eMMC (no rknand) . However I don't use Armbian much often, probably a maximum of two to three times a month. I want to keep stock Android on eMMC, for video playback on the YouTube app is much faster compared to in firefox and Android has proper remote support which Armbian lacks. I tried flashing the armbian community image on the sdcard but the device didn't boot from sdcard unless the eMMC was wiped. I found that multitool is able to always boot from sdcard irrespective of whatever is in the emmc. After doing some research on the multitool build process, I think I need a properly co…

I'm looking for help porting to an RK3328-based device, the REV Robotics Control Hub. It ships running a custom version of Android 7. The compute board's physical layout is based on the 96Boards CE spec, and is visibly extremely similar to the Dragonboard 410c (https://www.96boards.org/product/dragonboard410c/). It has these specs and ports: - Rockchip RK3328 SOC - Rockchip RK805-1 (I believe from my research that this is a power management chip?) - 1GB DDR3 RAM (2x Samsung K4B4G1646E-BYMA chips) - 16GB eMMC (Samsung KLMAG1JETD-B041) - Oddly, the manufacturer specs list this device as having 8GB eMMC 4.51, but the chip on my board at least is 16GB …

Greetings, After receiving an "mx10 pro 4k" 4gb 32gb I tried booting armbian on it. Strangely, after trying multiple images, dtbs I couldn't boot into armbian no matter what. Becoming frustrated I proceed to open the box which surprised me: both the dusty packaging and PCB advertise an rk3328, but after removing the heat sink I found out that it actually contains an rk3318 as adb and android warned me. https://imgur.com/a/Hv1Qlw3 Not only did I get "scammed" (the box still works on android, and the average user wouldn't even notice), but now I seem to own an unknown box as it seems I can't trust the seller for anything th…

Hi folks, I just bought A5X MAX RK3328 4K TV Box 4GB/16GB since it had 4GB RAM, but only 100mbit Ethernet. Since it's got USB3 so i can get 1gbit Ethernet anyway. The price of $50 incl. shipping tempted to buy it. Hope to run Linux one day and i wonder if i already can test Linux from SD card on this? In the future i hope also to be able to run Linux directly off the 16GB eMMC. I know there is a lot of work going on mainlining support for RK3328. I'm not interested in GUI/Kodi stuff, but just headless Linux server with SSHd/continers running on this. Also a bit concerned about any thermal issues, but i should fix my self by opening the box and modding …

Good day to everyone, I was running smoothly on my tv box, rk322x, but I did something wrong and I can't boot again, then where I can download the image of armbian as well as the multi-tool so that I can again perform a clean installation on my tv box? some link maybe, thank you very much for your help.

Hello, please I want old jammy versions that are compatible with the rk322x

wanted to load balbes150's images but none of his repositories have the tool and my googlefu is apparently shite thanks

Firstly, I would like to say I know next to nothing about what I am doing at all. I'm trying to learn though! With the current shortage of decent SBCs at a reasonable price I thought being able to run Armbian on the above device would make it a very good deal. I am only interested in using the device as a server so I currently have no information on running it as a desktop though I can burn an image and post the results if anyone is interested. From reading the forums it seems many devices will try and boot from external storage of some sort before booting from emmc. This turned out not to be the case for this device. I blun…

I have a RK3328 android tv box. After flashing new firmware to it, using Rockchip Batch Tool, the box, connected to the tv, shows briefly RK3328 logo on tv screen, and then black screen. After that, I connect the box to the computer using usb cable, without pressing reset button on the box. Rockchip Batch Tool software, under the Connected Device, shows a green symbol. It shouldn't, because I didn't press the reset button on android tv box. It's like android tv box is in reset mode, and I didn't put it in reset mode. It's like there is a short somewhere that puts it in reset mode. And, maybe that is the reason the box doesn't boot up normally, but has a bl…

I have dtb files used by manufacturers for compiling on the Android 5.1 system (OEM versions 2.17 and 2.19).

Good evening, after i tried to play armbian image on the box it doesn't start anymore. this doesn't seem to be that rare with this model and now i want to put the box in maskrom mode, because otherwise it will not be recognized by the pc. I took the photos of the circuit board and there 2 pins have to be connected to each other. can someone tell me what pin it is? color or circle on foto.

I have a "G96 mini" box that is bricked, I don't know its history but wrong firmware is a likely candidate- It contains a RK3228A and 08emcp08-el3cv100 ram & flash in a single chip. After some investigation I found how to boot from SD, boot in maskrom mode and access it with AndroidTool and capture the serial messages. I found very little info about this specific box, only that looks similar to the H20 mentioned in this thread: I tried all the bootloaders I could find including multitool-1.11 and the armbian indicated in that thread and this is what happens: DDR Version V1.11 20200910_dbg …

edit: Found the solution Got this tv box "x88pro 10" repurposed to run armbian by someone and it demands login/password. The default one(root 1234) doesn't work. Also I can't seem to stop the loading process and get to grub to try and delete passwords manually from there(tried pressing random keys during boot, tried holding shift). Please help And also point me to an armbian image I could use in case I fail to reset the password Armbian version it runs atm is 22.05.0-trunk Bullseye tech specs are: RK3318 Quad-Core 64bit Cortex-A53, Penta-Core Mali-450 up to 750Mhz, 2 or 4Gb ram

Hi All new here please forgive if non technical which i am , looking to install armbian into this existing X88 box I have attached photos for experts which one is the correct one to flash,

How can I force the resolution on these boards? My board is RK3318 (x88 pro 10) The board is not automatically getting the maximum resolution the HDMI monitor can show. Is Armbian preventing this somewhere? Can I set this somewhere I am no expert. Any help would b appreciated. u-boot? armbianEnv.txt?

Hello dudes from italian Far East! I'm just starting to explore the sauvage world of modding as the early step of a noob, than I politely apologize in advance for my questions. I have a little and economic TV box RK322X-based, working (not so fine) with an Android 6 custom ROM. I will try to switch it to Armbian but, at the same time, I'll like to prove it for a while without any change. Is possible (and fine working) burn an USB stick for make it? Is it correctly and extensively explained in the forum and I'm only too lazy to search? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a basic doubt regarding the booting of multiboot vs armbian Multiboot gets booted from sdcard even if the tv box has Android. If multiboot can do it, why not armbian. I can see multiboot has vfat partition having kernel file. And another partition as ext4 that had Linux files. If we make armbian by modifying the initrd, will it get booted like multiboot, without erasing Android and not loosing Android functionality. It will be like dual boot also.

I recently purchased an Android box which has Rk3128 . I didn't find enough resources to install an armbian server on rk3128 mxq 4k pro box.

Hi, welcome everyone. I’m using an H50 TV box that I was about to throw away because I thought I had completely bricked it. I disassembled it and found the pins to activate maskrom mode. I think this could be useful for everyone. I then installed the current image, and everything seems to work except for the HDMI output (blank screen). Do you have any suggestions? Thanks. Some data and photo below. In case you want to install please note that also multitool fails to activate the HDMI, so you will need SSH to config.

Tried to flash it with common Rockchip Box technique with no luck (tried some roms from Armbian, firefly, and some OpenWRT method ... refer Fig. 1.5, 1.6). Anyone who can give some pointer will be much appreciate. Known techniques: - enter recovery mode = plug in the HDMI, use screw driver to poke the inner "hidden button" in audio jack, and plug power - working - another way of getting into the recovery mode = using the command "adb reboot recovery" from either network or USB type C - not able to flash - enter bootloader mode = using the command "adb reboot bootloader" from either network or USB type C - don't know how this work - enter…

Does anyone know if the H20 soc RK3228A TV box is compatible with installing the multitool on eMMC? I don't think so, on the PCB the model is H20_221_V1.71_230617. I couldn't find any pads on the pcb to try to force access to the mask rom. On the forum I seem to have read about others who have had the problem of bricking this TV box, I think it is still not supported by the multitool.

Hi, I decided to switch from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 on my MVR9 (Rockchip 3328). The previous version (Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0.img.xz) that I had used, had been realized by Balbes150.

Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue with my Armbian setup on an H96 Max Ultra 4K (RK3318). The system boots up normally and works fine for a while, but after running for some time, it completely freezes and becomes unresponsive. I have to power cycle the device to get it running again. This issue keeps happening consistently after some time, and I’m not sure what's causing it. Here are a few details about my setup: Board model: H96 Max Ultra 4K (RK3318) Armbian version: Armbian_24.11.0_rockchip_rk3318-box_bookworm_6.1.114_server_2024.11.01.img SD card format: BTRFS Things I've tried so far: Checking the power supply to ensure it's stable an…

Hello everyone, My university recently purchased a few hundred of these RK3288-based tablets. They're used to display room schedules, control printer confiurations, and control TV inputs throughout our engineering and computer science buildings. The buildings are littered with them; you can't walk 10 feet in any direction without passing one mounted on the wall. Given that they have cameras and microphones, and they run an ancient Android, maybe this wasn't a great idea... Anyway, the no-name eMMC on these things tends to go bad pretty quickly, and the board has no microSD slot, so SD booting is not an option. The university has given me access to …

I recently did some trying to boot Armbian on this box and eventually got it not to recognize "Loader" mode using the reset button. It was working before I eventually flashed an not so compatible u-boot. I knew the risks, sh1t happens I was trying to boot Armbian from USB by the way, that is why I tried to do this. I discovered that the original firmware is the same as a H96 Max M1 PLUS as we can see from the official firmware file naming: rk3528_l001_H96_Max_M1PLUS_6621_64BIT_TAR-20251112.2200.img My question, as anyone had experience with this board? The idea is to ditch the original firmware and run HA on Armbian (I previously …

Hi there, first of all big thanks to this community, what you're doing is awesome :-) Here is my question: I have Scishion v88 4k TV box, it had android 7 I've installed Armbian Buster legacy kernel 4.4.y on nand Configured network, rn it has OctoPrint, Klipper, working webcam etc. No questions, its all working great. But whenever I try to reboot it, it doesn't start up back, I gotta replug the power supply for a few sec, only then it starts up back. While it was on Android, it did the reboot correctly. Maybe it's something about exactly this model of tv box that does not let it to reboot on its own, it doesn't have an on\off buttons, so whenever I use it…

Hi, i can't boot multitool and armbian on my android TV DQ08 RK3528 4Go RAM 64go SSD. I take pictures of my card :

What you need: - A DQ08 (got mine from aliexpress) - An sdcard (4g if you want to use external usb3 ssd or 32g if not) If you're lazy and trust my image (you shouln't, as I can bundle malwares inside): - flash this using this - usb2serial included - put in DQ08 and plug it in ethernet - scan for the ip using this - in windows terminal, using password=1234: ssh root@BOXIP To build the sd card, i've used this tutorial: - install wsl on your windows - apply this patch Spoiler sudo wget --output-document=/usr/share/keyrings/armbian-next.gpg https://apt-test.next.armbian.com/armbian-next.gpg cat << EOD…

Hi, I'm trying to get working sources compiled mainline 5.0.5 on beelink a1 rk3328. Kernel boots fine but I have following issue with eth (see attached png). Kernel config is like this: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/blob/master/script/kernel/linux-5.0/files/linux-5.0-arm64-armv8.config Can somebody hint me: is this issue of 5.0.5 mainline or rather something is missing in kernel config or i.e. lacking of required kernel patch?

Good afternoon guys, can anyone help me unbrick my TV Box H96 RK3318 version Android 10? So I'm trying to flash the firmware but every time I get the error: Prepare IDB Fail Another thing, it is not necessary to short the pins to enter Maskrom mode as it enters this mode without doing anything. Strange isn't it? Can anyone help me, I really don't know what to do. bandicam 2023-10-15 12-46-16-121.mp4

Good afternoon! I bought a server home assistant. The web used to open. the interface is at 192.168.1.141:8123, and now it’s reaching armbian and I don’t know what to do next and I don’t understand why this happened either. I’m asking for your help. Has anyone ever had such a situation? If I created the wrong theme, can you tell me where to create it, or maybe there is already such a theme?

Hi, I am a total newb with a few too many holes in my ozone layer. I have managed to use the Multitool and an image of Armbian from Inovato that runs on their Quadra SBC. I have managed to get my old H96Max to run software called WSJT-X from Joe Taylor and his team at Princeton. I have had a lot of fun and am still having a lot of fun running the H96Max (RK3318) the radio is a small rig called the QDX from QRP Labs. I run it (the computer) off a Powerbank and although it doesn't always boot it is very much a 'less is more' machine for my mind and is grand 99% of the time. I would like to be able to run X11vnc on boot/power up and not have to use ANY machine through a 19" …

Hi does anyone have backup of images by balbes150 from below topic? All the links seems to point to a dead end. Even the web archive has nothing so would be grateful if anyone could provide the images. Thanks!

Recently has appeared some 3566 tv boxes in the wild, would be doable to run armbian on them? Since Rockchip seems kinda dedicated to openness the same goes for the RK3566?

Pls. Give fire tv like os or google tv like os for mxq pro 4k 5g processor rk3228 wifi chip esp8096

EDIT: This how-to is slightly out-of-date, because now the complete images for RK3318 boxes are available here. Thanks to community, especially to @jock. Hello all, I would like to summarize the required steps to boot armbian on device with RK3318 chip. I have a X88 Pro device already mentioned here.

I have used lots in my time but recently changed to this. I can't get RKMC to access my shared folders because, when I enter the address with back slashes it changes them into forward slashes. With VLC it works perfectly but is unusable without sorting by descending date. Why does it swap the slashes/??? I prefer RKMC to VLC

I'm looking for a flash for this box. 16/2 x88 pro-b-rk3318-d4-v1.2 16/2

My tvbox H96 Max H2 (rk3328)is not able to boot from SDCard, USB or SDcard+USB method. I downloaded the images by balbes150. Then, I flashed the emmc using android tool but still not able to boot using the methods of SDCard, USB or SDcard+USB. At this point I am willing to flash direct to emmc since I am able to get to maskrom. But, with the limited knowledge I have right now I am not able to do so. Primarily, I am using android tool. Can anyone show me links where I can read up more or advise me the steps? In the mean time, I have a few questions 1. Boot time - How long does it take to able to see the hdmi output on monitor when I…

I was trying to flash the eMMC of my X88 PRO 10, which bricked it. I need some help to unbrick it. So far, I have managed to put it into maskrom mode by conneting the two contact pads in the red circles and pluging in a USB A to A cable in the USB 2.0 port of the tv box and my computer. I took a backup of the firmware with the multitool from here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17597-csc-armbian-for-rk3318rk3328-tv-box-boards/page/1 but I could not find a way to restore it. I tried Android tool reports, which says "Found One MASKROM Device", but threw an error when I tried to load my backup. So I searched for the origional firmware, but could not find a source…

Hi Folks, I know this is not the right place to ask for help as I'm not using Armbian Device. My device is Rockchip RK3288, it was working fine until I decided to do an OS upgrade. Accidentally ROM didn't install correctly and now the device is nearly bricked. I'm searching the web for the past 2 months to try any method which can help me to return the board to a working state. This forum is the active which I came across. The issue I tried to Install a new untested ROM over a working ROM and the device isn't booting UP, whenever I'm trying to boot nothing happens also RK Android Tool isn't able to detect the device. The issue is …

Hello everyone, I'm working with a JR3288lc development board with a Rockchip RK3288 processor and I'm currently facing a Bluetooth detection issue. I'm using the official Debian 9 image provided by the manufacturer, but the system doesn't see the Bluetooth module at all. When I check the dmesg output, I see a specific parsing error related to the power GPIO in the Device Tree. It seems the kernel can't parse the power feature, which is preventing the module from working. How can I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Support Team, I am writing to request the original firmware for my Live Broadcast V4 device, which has completely stopped working and does not boot. Upon disassembling the device, I identified the mainboard as: Board model: LIV@3588V4.2 Date code: 20230919 CPU platform: Rockchip RK3588 (or similar variant) Currently, the system is non-functional, showing no signs of successful boot or display. I believe the firmware may be corrupted or missing, and I would like to recover the device if possible. I kindly request the following: A copy of the original firmware image for this device (IMG, update.img, or compatible format) Any…

I realize this is probably a nob question and I am missing something here, but I haven't been able to find any answer to this problem, even though I was digging really hard. Whenever a streaming app allows you to see screen resolution in the settings, in my case it always shows 1080p even though all of my TVs are 4k. Same goes for Kodi, Cpuz also shows 1080p only. It is my 3rd Chinese Rockchp Box (this time HK1 RK 3528), and it has allways been the same, the prevoius ones even stuttered when playing 4k. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just jet another Chinese scam?

Good afternoon everyone. I need your help. I have an Android TV Box TX9 and I need the ROM (Firmware) for it because I can't find it anywhere. Could someone help me download this firmware so I can resurrect my device? Thank you all.

Has anyone tried the latest version Jammy with legacy 4.19 kernel and edge with 5.16 kernel? I've tried the firmware on my 3566 BOX with dtb replaced with the dtb from the box. It is strange that the 5.16 kernel can't boot but the legacy kernel works very well. Here is the log of the boot.
