July 25, 20242 yr Hello Everyone I have added Armbian for the Heltec HT-M2808 Helium Miner https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6989#event-13647037453 https://heltec.org/project/ht-m2808/ To Compile ./compile.sh build BOARD=rk3328-heltec BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no EXPERT=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm You can obviously decide to go with a desktop environment (board has no HDMI) or use a different release. How to Flash 1) Install Rockchip Flash Tools 2) Download bootloader (rk3328_loader_ddr333_v1.16.250.bin) attached here. 3) Boot device into LOADER mode. Plug USB Cable in to back of the unit, powered off. On the back of the device. Use a small pin and hold the reset button (unit powered off) THEN insert the power cable while the reset button is pressed 4) Follow the flash procedure found here. Maskrom Pin If you get stuck and need to reflash, there's a good chance holding the reset button will not work to get back into LOADER mode. To boot directly to MASKROM, you can short this pin Needed 1) Wifi/BT does not work currently 2) SPI not recognized 3) LEDs not working 4) Likely other things, but the OS is 90% functional. rk3328_loader_ddr333_v1.16.250.bin Edited July 25, 20242 yr by sicxnull
December 4, 20241 yr Hi @sicxnull thank you very much for your efforts! Since it's been a while, have you had any success in getting the SPI up and running in the meantime? I've already tried various approaches but haven't really got any further.
December 5, 20241 yr Author Yes it works by enabling the spi overlay in armbian-config Totally missed that at first.

June 4, 20251 yr Source code(tar.gz)Download this source code? Then run your command to build an img flash?./compile.sh build BOARD=rk3328-heltec BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no EXPERT=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm
June 4, 20251 yr git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/armbian/build.git cd build ./compile.sh build BOARD=rk3328-heltec BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no EXPERT=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm Can you help me take a look, right? Clone the library in this way, and then compile it
June 4, 20251 yr This should produce an image. 3 hours ago, 张泽添 said: build That's not needed since it is default anyway.
June 5, 20251 yr I used the default rk3328 to flash the device, but it didn't turn on and turned into a brick
June 5, 20251 yr Where exactly is it? Can you send me a download link? I have already damaged many units, according to your instructions git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/armbian/build.git cd build ./compile.sh 构建 BOARD=rk3328-heltec BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no EXPERT=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm Edited June 5, 20251 yr by 张泽添
September 6Sep 6 Hi, I have a question. Is there a working bootloader available anywhere? The one I found online with the same name doesn't work, and the system won't boot. With that bootloader, I can load the Debian image, but after a restart, nothing happens. The front LED and the two LEDs on the back by the Ethernet port just stay lit up solid. rk3328_loader_ddr333_v1.16.250.bin
