you're comparing 20USD android tv box with a 60USD rpi4/4go or a 300USD with ram intel nuc. That's not comparable, sorry

I also added a usb3 ssd to the usb3 port.
To use it, you still need to load the kernel from an internal SD.
- flash the usb3 drive
- plug to the box
- e2label /dev/sda2 ssd
- change /boot/armbianEnv.txt : rootdev=LABEL=ssd
 
i also removed /dev/sda1 and /dev/mmcblk0p2 with fdisk
 
also, to install homeassistant/haos, here's the tutorial
 
Reboot and voilà !
 

As i don't trust img distributed over googledrive/mega, here is a script to build it yourself: https://github.com/ilyakurdyukov/rk3528-tvbox/issues/4
 
git clone https://github.com/ilyakurdyukov/rk3528-tvbox.git cd rk3528-tvbox git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/armbian/build armbian-build cp -R armbian-patch/* armbian-build/ cd armbian-build ./compile.sh build BOARD=rk3528-tvbox BRANCH=legacy BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm cd ../.. cat <<EOF > rk3528-tvbox/build.sh #!/bin/bash cd /build IMAGE=\`ls /build/armbian-build/output/images/*.img\` losetup -D losetup --partscan /dev/loop0 \$IMAGE mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt cd devicetree cp orig/*.dtsi . patch -p1 -i rk3528-tvbox.patch make NAME=rk3528-vontar-dq08 PRESET=LINUX cp rk3528-vontar-dq08.dtb /mnt/dtb/rockchip sed "s#fdtfile=.*#fdtfile=rockchip/rk3528-vontar-dq08.dtb#" -i /mnt/armbianEnv.txt losetup -D cat \$IMAGE | gzip > /build/\`basename \$IMAGE\`.gz EOF chmod a+x rk3528-tvbox/build.sh docker run -it -v /dev:/dev --privileged=true -v `pwd`/rk3528-tvbox:/build --rm armbian.local.only/armbian-build:initial /build/build.sh  
Tooks almost 30minutes to generate the image. Should works with WSL if you have docker.
Note that you can change BUILD_DESKTOP BUILD_MINIMAL and RELEASE if you want.
Also, nomore corruption with automatic partition extender.
