“Looks like the 6.6.x branch still has stability issues on sunxi64 — falling back to legacy 6.1 seems safest until patches land. Curious if anyone’s tested with 6.7+ to see if it’s resolved?”

“Looks like I2S support for the H618 isn’t in the current overlays yet — you may need a custom DTB or wait for kernel updates. Checking mainline Linux patches for sun50i-h618-i2s could be the next step.”

“That’s a really cool find! Running Armbian on such obscure hardware sounds tricky, but maybe checking if anyone has ported Linux for similar Marvell Armada devices could give you a starting point.”

Thanks for putting all this together — it’s a fantastic resource for anyone still trying to get the most out of these cheap RK3318 boxes. Fully agree on avoiding them for anything critical, but for tinkering and learning, this thread is gold.

Yep, I’ve been testing the 1.5GB version with Armbian. Images are still rough—some issues with AdGuard Home not starting properly after reboot, and a few quirks with networking. Promising board though, especially for the price.

Check if AdGuard is binding to the correct IP after reboot. You can verify this in the AdGuardHome.yaml file—make sure bind_host is set to 0.0.0.0 or your static IP. Also confirm the service is listening with sudo netstat -tulnp | grep 3000 and check logs with journalctl -u AdGuardHome.
