@ARx8 @rafaeldavid I was having this problem, and I just figured out that this is a cheat from the chip. I don't know the details but basically they mark the memory as 2GB but it actually just have 512MB. The Armbian sees 2GB but when you do a task that requires more that the actual 512MB it crashes. To solve that I manually set the memory on the Armbian to be 512MB. Edit the file: /boot/armbianEnv.txt Add the line (or change if already exists): extraargs=mem=512M On my case the device claimed 2GB of Ram. I reach the 512M testing. To get to this number I ran: free -h This gave me the amount of memory the system was already using (230M). After that I apt installed memtester and start testing the memory: memtester 200M I started at 200M and cancel the test (CTRL-C) on the firsts interaction after: Stuck Address : ok Random Value : ok Compare XOR : ok Compare SUB : ok Compare MUL : ok Compare DIV : ok Compare OR : ok Compare AND : ok The other tests took too long and if the problem is the memory that didnt exist just the firsts test would be enough. I ran memtester increading by 50M, so 200,250,300... And on 300 the system crashed, so I assumed the real memory of the chip was 512 (the 230 from the system + the 250 from the memtester before it crashed).

Did someone managed to make it work on this model below? I tried creating the image with different allwinner chips but its not booting when I burn the sd and insert on the device. The tv box is a Mortal T1 Android 13 2gb ram and 16gb rom
