devonian11 got a reaction from jock in CSC Armbian for RK3318/RK3328 TV box boardsI have managed to install Armbian desktop on a RK3328 TV box folowing the instructions on the 1st post.
During the process, I appeared to have managed to 'brick' it as it would not boot/respond in any way. I couldn't find any activity on a possible serial port.
I read some post on forcing 'maskrom mode' so decided there were 2 pins on the bottom side under the 'FORESEE' chip at bottom right of the board, so shorted them with fine pointed tweezers and powered on, removed the tweezers and got it to read the SD card again and succesfully ran Multitool again (with a correct image!).
Some pics of my TV box, a Droibox, Nano, REVO, on the PCB is marked T9-RK3328-8X4-20180718-v1.5
Hope it's of use to someone.
One question, is possible to get it to run at (upto) full speed of 1.5GHz as it is throttled to 1GHz at the moment.
Pins to short are at bottom left
Clock pins are below chip at bottom right...
Short these two pins and power on, then remove short and wait a little (keep fingers crossed)...
