On my TV box X88 pro 10 128 GB (Armbian 24.11.0-trunk.321 6.11.4-edge-rockchip6), the driver does not work when set to led-config 2.

Dear Support Team, I am writing to request the original firmware for my Live Broadcast V4 device, which has completely stopped working and does not boot. Upon disassembling the device, I identified the mainboard as: Board model: LIV@3588V4.2 Date code: 20230919 CPU platform: Rockchip RK3588 (or similar variant) Currently, the system is non-functional, showing no signs of successful boot or display. I believe the firmware may be corrupted or missing, and I would like to recover the device if possible. I kindly request the following: A copy of the original firmware image for this device (IMG, update.img, or compatible format) Any…

Hello. I recently got a vontar-dq08 working with armbian. I used someone's build for a x88pro, so I replaced the dtb with the one that came on my board. After editing the ArmbianEnv.txt and resetting, it did not boot. Idk if it's a typo on my end or the tree not working, but to make it boot I would just have to change ArmbianEnv.txt, but taking the sdcard out and plugging it in my computer I can't find the file in /boot How can I revert the ArmbianEnv.txt when my machine doesn't boot?

I have a RK3228A TV Box which is able to properly boot armbian when flashed to its eMMC (no rknand) . However I don't use Armbian much often, probably a maximum of two to three times a month. I want to keep stock Android on eMMC, for video playback on the YouTube app is much faster compared to in firefox and Android has proper remote support which Armbian lacks. I tried flashing the armbian community image on the sdcard but the device didn't boot from sdcard unless the eMMC was wiped. I found that multitool is able to always boot from sdcard irrespective of whatever is in the emmc. After doing some research on the multitool build process, I think I need a properly co…

Hi, I installed the wrong image on a Rockchip RK3288 (Hannspree) Android 5.1 TV box. Now it won't boot from internal memory or sd-card, power on, light up or anything. Like it was hit by lightning. Is this expected? What has happened? (This very comprehensive and helpful post says that "If the internal flash does not contain a bootable system, they will always boot from the sdcard.") Thank you good people (The tag on this post is wrong... I could not find a RK3288 tag)

Hello and greetings to the community, I have already been using the Armbian operating system, almost at the beginning of the year, a good, very stable distribution for this type of boxes, also with very important functions and applications, but I have a query, is it possible to update the kernel in this type of box ?, I am using the kernel inherited from the startup installation (4.4.194-rk322x), if it is possible, how is the procedure? and another query, when I want to restart the system, it does not restart but turns off, either with the option "restart" from the system itself or with the command "reboot from the terminal, in both cases the system turns off and I have t…

Hello, i saw your page on the Internet and was wondering whether you could show me where the mask pins are on the HK1 MAX? Sent from my SM-A736B using Tapatalk

Hi, I am a total newb with a few too many holes in my ozone layer. I have managed to use the Multitool and an image of Armbian from Inovato that runs on their Quadra SBC. I have managed to get my old H96Max to run software called WSJT-X from Joe Taylor and his team at Princeton. I have had a lot of fun and am still having a lot of fun running the H96Max (RK3318) the radio is a small rig called the QDX from QRP Labs. I run it (the computer) off a Powerbank and although it doesn't always boot it is very much a 'less is more' machine for my mind and is grand 99% of the time. I would like to be able to run X11vnc on boot/power up and not have to use ANY machine through a 19" …

Hello everyone, I have an old POS machine that uses the Rockchip RK3288 processor. It has a 1920x1080 screen and works fine, but I don’t have any root or bootloader unlock permissions. I would like to flash Armbian on it and make better use of the device. So far I’ve tried: ADB access (only recovery available) Tried using adb reboot bootloader, but the device just powers off Identified some test points like KEY, T3, T2, T52, T51, but not sure which one is for MaskROM shorting Found no physical recovery button, only a reset and power button There might be a UART port, but I’m not sure 👉 Can someone please help me: Identify …

Hello dudes from italian Far East! I'm just starting to explore the sauvage world of modding as the early step of a noob, than I politely apologize in advance for my questions.

I have dtb files used by manufacturers for compiling on the Android 5.1 system (OEM versions 2.17 and 2.19). It differs from boards like the firefly, for example: using a 100 Mbps network port, USB GPIO uses <0x50 0x0c 0x00>. Can anyone help with adapting this board? I want to compile it for armbian. 2.17.dtb 2.19.dtb

I have used lots in my time but recently changed to this. I can't get RKMC to access my shared folders because, when I enter the address with back slashes it changes them into forward slashes. With VLC it works perfectly but is unusable without sorting by descending date. Why does it swap the slashes/??? I prefer RKMC to VLC

Hello everyone, I'm trying to locate a specific older Armbian build for an RK3318 TV box and hoping someone in the community might have it archived. I'm looking for: Version: Armbian 22.05.1 (or similar from that era) Kernel: Legacy 4.4.213 Base: Debian Buster Desktop: XFCE (or even a CLI version is fine) The original download link from users.armbian.com/balbes150/ is now a 404. I understand this is a very old "Community Maintained" build and that RK3318 support has moved to newer kernels . I'm specifically seeking this kernel version for a project. If anyone has this image file or a similar legacy build (kernel 4.4.x) for the RK331…

Hello, I do have a X88 and stopped working, only red light, and nothing else. After watching many videos on Youtube, found that there was a semiconductor getting really hot, and there is a short on in/out. I am sure there is a replacement for that, but the problem is that I cannot find the part number or anything. Attached, picture with a circle on that. Anyone have any idea which semiconductor is that ? This is 5 PIN (3+2). Appreciated it.

Hello everyone, I'm working with a JR3288lc development board with a Rockchip RK3288 processor and I'm currently facing a Bluetooth detection issue. I'm using the official Debian 9 image provided by the manufacturer, but the system doesn't see the Bluetooth module at all. When I check the dmesg output, I see a specific parsing error related to the power GPIO in the Device Tree. It seems the kernel can't parse the power feature, which is preventing the module from working. How can I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone! I'm new to the community, so please excuse me if my question seems silly.

I failed to flash the firmware of my TV box and it's now bricked. I need to re-flash it. Please tell me where the shorting point of this TV box is and how to flash it using the shorting point. Thank you.

Hello everyone! I'm using this patch set from github to run armbian on x88pro13 (which has RK3528 with Mali 450 MP2). Everything seems to work fine (even wifi), but i'm not able to enable hw acceleration on kodi interface (it shows llvmpipe, so it's sw rendering) Do you have any hints on how to do that? Because at the moment i get 80% cpu just for the kodi gui. Thanks!
