Hi.

i have two cheap TV boxes with rk3228a.

installed 

armbian community 24.8.0 trunk 36 rk322x bookworm current 6.6.32 minimal img

and

loader "rk322x_loader_v1.10.238_256.bin"

 

using "rkdeveloptool" 

with commands 

rkdeveloptool db loadername.bin

rkdeveloptool wl 0x0 imagname.img

 

 

the first boot was fine and started normally.

when rebooted the device, it's just dead. only blue LED and blinking red LED. but nothing!

and the device wont go on Maskmod  to try another img or something!!

If the board is not detected on your PC, try pressing the reset button behind the audio jack connector, and keeping it pressed for two seconds while giving power to the board and then try again with the male-to-male cable.

fixed my problem with maskmod 

had to hold the RST button with the usb cable connected for 10sec [counted and tried for few times] to be able to enter it again!

 

the other problem

only the desktop version works!!

tried the minimal img  

Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.6_Rk322x-box_bookworm_current_6.6.31_minimal.img.xz

 

 with no vail 

only desktop ver works

Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.6_Rk322x-box_jammy_current_6.6.31_xfce_desktop.img.xz

Hello, both the versions you used share exactly the same kernel, so it is unclear to me the reason only the Jammy image boots.

 

Actually, I don't understand why you did not use the multitool to install the armbian image and doing maintenance, but however...

You can actually edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt and set verbosity=7 to have more kernel logging and perhaps something will pop up.

 

Hint: dmesg log is basic stuff to do debugging, if you can provide it, it could be very useful.
