Rockchip CPU Boxes

Hi, I've got this old board from 2015/2016 with an rk3229. It is running Android 6 with a Linux kernel version 3.x compiled for the rk322x family. The board is branded as Leelbox Q1 but on the PCB it is marked as an MXQ-Q1. I have not found much info about either on this forum. I've tried the multitool image, along with three or four minimal armbian images (both current, legacy and even some builds from 2019) but nothing seems to boot. When I use the multitool image I think I get the furthest, as the ethernet lights turn on but then I get no output on my screen. I was wondering if some of you have experience with this kind of board or have …

Hi @jock, i see multitool source on your github page, would you mind to write a guide to use it or patch it to run armbian without wiping the android os (to run armbian from sdcard) specifically for rk3318 ? in this case i want to run Armbian_23.5.1_Rk3318-box_jammy_current_6.1.30.img.xz

Hello everyone, I am trying to install Armbian on my Android TV Box, but unfortunately, I flashed an incorrect firmware. Now the device is hard-bricked: the red and blue LEDs are blinking alternately, there is no HDMI output (black screen), and the physical reset button is not working properly. I already have an SD card loaded with the multitool to install Armbian, but I need to force the SoC into Maskrom Mode first so it can bypass the corrupted eMMC and boot from the SD card. Device Specifications: SoC: Rockchip RK3228A Board ID: T39-V1.0 Storage: eMMC (BGA type) I have attached the front and back photos of my PCB board (IMG-20260607-W…

Hello everyone! I'm using rk322x TV box for video decoding through mpp. Mpp requires a system with 6.1 or earlier kernel. When I try to compile Ubuntu 22.04 from this repository https://github.com/armbian/build, the selection for kernel are "current" or "edge". I selected "current", and later I found its kernel is 6.12.21. I have tried to use armbian-config to downgrade the kernel, but the earliest selection is 6.6. Then I tried to downgrade the kernel through apt, but there were no 6.1 edition. Thus, I decided to change the kernel through "Mainline Kernels" and install the 6.1.132 kernel. After the installation finished, I rebooted my system and found that the kerne…

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.

Hi all, I have a S96 mini 4K tvbox with Rockchip 3228A and rk3228a-v30 mainboard, the emmc is a Foresee, and I don't remember the model, but I'll post it if necessary! my tvbox doesn't have the SD slot....I read the method of the tool rk developertool...I wanted to know if it is possible to start the multitool in usb...thanks!

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…

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, 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. Today, I installed the image for the Station M1 by Balbes150 (Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Station-m1_jammy_edge_6.2.0.img.xz) on my MVR9, and everything works except the blue front led that no longer automatically turns on when I agree the PC. I wanted to know if you can tell me which files it is necessary to modify so that the blue LED turns on when the PC is on and that turns off when the PC is turned off. MVR9 has only one LED (Blue). It seems th…

.I have a Tv Box, with this R329Q V3.0 board, I wanted to know if it is possible to install armbian ... and if this is how the installation procedure is ...... thanks for your help

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 …

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…

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

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…

Hi everyone! I have been reading a lot of topics here and is definitely helpful but I'm no expert nor experienced in this area. I know the basics and stuff but that is as far as I can go. A little bit of history to help with the issue. I tried to do a factory reset via the recovery mode for my RK 3229 but did not finish. I then received the following messages every time I try to access the Recovery mode: E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument) E:failed to mount /metadata (Invalid argument) Supported API: 3 E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument) E:Can ́t mount /cache/recovery/last_locale I read a topic that p…

Hi, I want to begin saying that I am an absolute newbie and I don't even know how I managed to get the installation process right. And also, I'm not a native English speaker so I apologize in advance for not making myself understandable. I had a Vontar X88 Pro tv box lying around that was pretty much unusable by itself, found this forum by chance and decided to give it a go and install armbian on the box and turn it into a small computer (that I really need by the way, I don't have a pc and I'm typing this post on a broken phone). The installation process has gone smoothly even though I got it wrong the first time and I had to do everything all over again. I …

I have an H96Max RK3318 box which I flashed with Armbian. Is there a way to switch back to Android (original firmware). With the original firmware, pressing the reset button at power connection would take the box into recovery mode. This is not the case for Armbian, so not sure how I can flash back Android on this box?

The wifi and ethernet both are not working for my transpeed 8k tv device. it has a rk3528 chipset. 1. I tried resetting it from its android factory setting. it did not work. 2.

Hello, I have a BOX TV (See Information Below) and I would like to know if anyone here has the .iso or .img of Linux be Ubuntu or any other version that allows me to run commented in python on the device. I already searched in several forums and yes, they even have, but at the time of boot via SD (card) or TV BOX does not turn on or says "No Command". I am grateful if anyone has and shares or can help me since then. TV BOX DETAILS Rockchip processor Model h96max RK3318 64-bit 4x ARMv8-A Core Architecture

Hi all, I'm a newbie The two boxes have similar hardware (RK3566 + Mali-G52-2EE + 8GB ram), and I've searched the forums and seen both have been experimented with Armbian. But I'm still confused about the bottom line: on which of the two Armbian is better supported or easier to run? That'll be the main deciding factor for me, but of course I'll be interested in any other comment or general advice. TIA!

Hi everyone I installed Armbian Focal Legacy Minimal (UBUNTU version 20.04) on my MXQPro-RK3228A, once that this board has only 1 Giga RAM and 8 of ROM. I did this migration once that KODI in Android on this TV-BOX, really does not work appropriately. So, the linux with the XFCE was a natural path for me. Well, after installation I try the Linux with KODI... it works, but VERY SLOWLY ... impossible to use something like that. I just watch European TV channels, more specific the FRENCH TV. I have a VPN and to watch by browser should be a solution except that Firefox is quite SLOW also. So I would some application for Linux to wat…

This is a sidebar/urgent request for help. I was previously able to install Armbian noble on my YY3568 board thanks to instructions from these forums (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/49775-board-bring-up-youyeetoo-yy3568-rockchip-rk3568/). I now need to use the board for a Debian project to help a friend that lost their backup, and am unable to reproduce the instructions in that post to empty the eMMC and enable SD boot. The poorly written/flawed instructions in this post involve loading a config file into RKDevTool, writing loader, parameters and uboot, then there is a line about "destroying partitions by writing wipe_part" (a file you can download in the post)…

Hello, when the tv box loads Armbian, the device shutdown and does not turn on

I bought this TV set-top box the other day in order to install armbian and install klipper for a 3d printer, however, my board is a little different from others and when I try to flash through multitool, the red indicator lights up and flashes yellow, I bought a set-top box with 1 GB of ram because this is enough for a Klipper (RK3228a, 1gb ram, 8gb memory), I hope very much for your help!

Hello ALL, I have been trying to solve this common issue by myself for two weeks now but I finally gave up. I was able to brick then unbrick and get Armbian running from the emmc on my box but the wifi is still a no-go. Does anyone has this box with a working wifi? I would like to know if there is any specific combination of buster/focal, kernel, DTB and wifi-chip/pins selection that will work. Right now I am running Armbian 21.05.1 Buster with kernel 5.10.34-rk322x I think I tried a dozen of combinations. Thank you Leo

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.

Hi I'm currently running Armbian on my Minix NEO X7 box. The video works, but I can't really get the ethernet working. The reason for it is that the ethernet is controlled by some of the GPIO pins, so basically the ethernet chip (not onboard, it has an USB external onboard chip) is shut down by the GPIO. I've tried to extract the dts file from my Android ROM without any luck, mainly because the kernel of the image (Finless ROM v1.7) is too old to even contain one. Does anyone have any working dts file that would bring the ethernet port back to life, or do I have to bypass the GPIO, so I can access the ethernet? Thanks for all the replies

Hello. I have this MX10 Box S android TV box, it works well with the latest Armbian community build (Armbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.309_Rk322x-box_bookworm_current_6.12.35_minimal.img). However, I have this specific binary that is 64bit that I would like to run on my box and this build of armbian is 32bit only. Is there a 64bit build of armbian for rk322x anywhere? Thanks!

Hi, I installed the wrong image on a Rockchip RK3288 (Hannspree) Android 5.1 TV box. Now it won't boot from internal memory or sd-card, power on, light up or anything. Like it was hit by lightning. Is this expected? What has happened? (This very comprehensive and helpful post says that "If the internal flash does not contain a bootable system, they will always boot from the sdcard.") Thank you good people (The tag on this post is wrong... I could not find a RK3288 tag)

Hi guys, To begin, a big thanks to all devs! Unbelievable work done so these boxes do not end up in a landfill of recycle bin. maybe this has been answered before but in this vast ocean of information I must admit I am drowned! I read the instructions and successfully flashed my box but when I run "sudo rk322x-config" I can only choose the CPU and eMMC then it ends and I am back to terminal prompt. I can see in the config screen that the WiFi chip is recognised as "south silicon valley 6051p 6256p" but I can't enable it. Under connections I can only see ethernet. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance! …

Multitool loaded fine, and i can see the main blue menu with options such as backup/restore/erase/etc My box has eMMC memory (according to specs), but when choosing the "Burn image to flash" in Multitool, i get a message saying "There are no eMMC devices suitable for image burn". I actually get this message also when trying the Erase option or any other option in Multi…

Hello, I have a rk322x TV box. I installed multitool on it. I put the armbain img file in the images file. A black screen appears when the TV box boots

Is there a armbian firmware for this model? Also on the case is written RK3318 user@user-Z370-HD3P:~/Downloads/Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v2.4$ rkdeveloptool ld DevNo=1 Vid=0x2207,Pid=0x320c,LocationID=101 Loader

Picked up a couple of these over at the local second hand store... https://www.aopen.com/AU_en/products_info/Chromebox-Mini My guess is that these were digital signage oriented, as they were in a crate with a few Startech USB-DVI adatpers, etc... Anyways - they're end-of-support for ChromeOS... There's a couple of posts over on Alpine to get things running there... It's close enough to TinkerBoard to maybe do some effort, and with Chromeboxes/Chromebooks on the same SoC/BSP...

I have a Measy (R-BOX) U4C rk3188. Before I recycled it I thought I would try to get a linux kernel running on it and found this these posts. I experimented with Armbian_21.02.0-trunk_Rk3188_focal_current_5.10.6_xfce_desktop.img from 13JAN. (Thanks Balbes!) It boots with rk3188-rbox-cs968.dtb and most everything works but the video ouput is color shifted. So HDMI video output is fine but the colors wrong and HDMI audio is not working. I took apart the Android firmware that was on the thing but with a V3 kernel without uboot it is kind of difficult to see into the kernel. I assume the device tree is somehow off for this system or, more likely the uInitrd is loa…

Hello everyone, I’m new to this forum and I’m currently trying to restore a device that is not booting properly. The device is stuck with the red and blue indicator lights, and there is no further activity. The device does not seem to boot or respond normally. Could someone please guide me on how to diagnose and restore this device? I would appreciate any information about the correct recovery procedure, boot mode, firmware restoration, or the appropriate tools/software that I should use. I’m still a beginner, so please explain the procedure step by step if possible. Thank you very much for your help and guidance. 🙏

I understand most RK356 firmwares would work; but where should i start? Is there a guide for new people? I have enough knowledge to follow instructions in a linux pc and any guidelines would help a lot. i just want a stable linux to run some services from it. I did found an old post that had some files that seem to be dead links now. Thanks for your time. pd added some images in case is interesting to someone. I guess i can make a back up of the …

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.

i'm trying to save rk322x-config but after restarting it happens my tvbox is a R329Q_V8.0 and it looks like the card configuration is correct soc type rk3229 flash type nand led led-conf2 wifi module think is the second module but I tested both I dont know much about linux, so I apologize for the lack of information here

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.

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.

Hello, buddies! I have a MXQ-4K (RK322X) device and I`ve installed on it BUSTER 4.4y and choose zsh instead of bash. I would like to use it like a regular Desktop, so I could simply surf on web and write some stuff on LibreOffice. But once I command "armbian-config" then I go to system > "install desktop with browser and extras" it finishes but when I reboot the device, it doesnt start the desktop, it goes straight to the terminal, asking me to log-in Am I doing something wrong? Could please somebody help me with this?

Hi, I have two rk322x TV boxes (RK3229 with SSV6051 SDIO wifi) where wlan0 is created but never comes up on Armbian. Both boxes had working wifi on their original Android firmware.

Hello everyone this is my first thread here on the forum, I would like to know if it is possible to build an arm's archlinux image using armbian kernel.

Hello everyone, grateful for your support, please how do I update the legacy armbian kernel on the tv box, rk322x, to a more updated kernel version, considering that the legacy kernel 4.4 is already obsolete, from the terminal with APT.. ..Thank you for your answers.

cpu: RK3128 ram: 4 x H5TQ2G43BFR 2Gbit (512M x 4) = 1GB emmc: THGBMDG5 32Gbit = 4GB Wifi: SV6158 heatsink also seemed fake, plastic, was not cool to touch like metal, removed to check cpu. cpu was not listed, but S905 was in photo. I claimed refund for counterfeit goods. I Expected it not to be S905, if it was a RK322X i would have kept it for armbian but RK3128 is worthless.

Hello and greetings to the community, I have already been using the Armbian operating system, almost at the beginning of the year, a good, very stable distribution for this type of boxes, also with very important functions and applications, but I have a query, is it possible to update the kernel in this type of box ?, I am using the kernel inherited from the startup installation (4.4.194-rk322x), if it is possible, how is the procedure? and another query, when I want to restart the system, it does not restart but turns off, either with the option "restart" from the system itself or with the command "reboot from the terminal, in both cases the system turns off and I have t…

Hello everyone, I'm trying to locate a specific older Armbian build for an RK3318 TV box and hoping someone in the community might have it archived. I'm looking for: Version: Armbian 22.05.1 (or similar from that era) Kernel: Legacy 4.4.213 Base: Debian Buster Desktop: XFCE (or even a CLI version is fine) The original download link from users.armbian.com/balbes150/ is now a 404. I understand this is a very old "Community Maintained" build and that RK3318 support has moved to newer kernels . I'm specifically seeking this kernel version for a project. If anyone has this image file or a similar legacy build (kernel 4.4.x) for the RK331…

Hi guys, I have an x88pro 10 with a debian bulleye installation. I bought an external lcd touchscreen monitor to control my klipper printer with Klipperscreen.

I got a board and want to test if it turns on at all. Is there any way to short the pins somewhere to get it to turn on? I don't have the remote but I suppose connecting the DC barrel should be enough to get some lights but nothing happens? Any help is appreciated.

I have tried the latest image 20.11, focal and buster. System seemed running stable at first, but in a few hours, there was kernel panic which was caused by CPU. Issue happened randomly, under load or when practically idle. Is it possible u-boot i used is causing it, or is that bugger just needed to boot? I wanted to play with it and run it as a server, but sadly it's not stable enough.

I've installed Armbian legacy kernel 4.4.194-rk322x on a Rockchip box (RK3229, SSV6051 wireless chip). Most things have worked thus far but I've hit a major roadblock with the network interfaces. Output of nmcli shows that all devices are unmanaged (this includes ethernet). I've tried several remedies: - explicitly setting a managed connection (nmcli device set wlan0 managed yes) has no effect: the device remains unmanaged - in the file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf the option of setting devices to be managed by NM was already set to true (managed=true). I have changed this to false and back with no change in either scenario …

hiya folks! I have a no-brand (MK - 918?) RK3188 Android TV box that I'm trying to install Armbian, but I can't get it to boot Multiboot nor the Armbian image from the SD card.

Hey all, anyone had any luck getting a PS3 Eye camera working with this distribution? I'm running an MXQ Pro Rockchip box, and while more modern webcams seem to be plug-n-play, I'm having no joy with the good old PS3 Eye. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
