Inspired by the incredible work @jock and @ilmich have done to make the RK322x platform stable on mainline Linux, I decided to tackle the application side of things. My goal was to turn these "e-waste" TV boxes into fully functional, low-latency Android Auto head units for our cars. This fork of OpenAuto is built as one of my "Is it possible to turn this into that?" projects. It turned out to be one heck of a nightmare to pull off, but at the same time a lot of fun because I can see the potential of these TV Boxes as something you can actually put in your car and turn into a usable head unit! System Requirements Target Device: RK322x TV Box (e.g., MXQ Pro 4K). OS: Armbian Bookworm or Trixie (Kernel 6.1+ recommended). RAM: 1GB recommended. CMA Limit: You MUST set cma=256M in /boot/armbianEnv.txt to prevent VPU crashes at 1080p. FFMPEG Installed: This build requires a specific build of ffmpeg that can be found here. Release: v2.0.0-alpha This release represents a major architectural overhaul. I have removed heavy dependencies (PulseAudio, QtAudio, GStreamer) in favor of a lean, direct-to-hardware pipeline using RtAudio (ALSA) and FFmpeg v4l2_request. Download: https://github.com/Harleythetech/openauto-rk3229-armbian/releases Technical Details Video Engine: Switched from GStreamer to a custom FFmpeg + V4L2-Request backend. Leverages the v4l2drmprime patch set for Zero-Copy rendering. Enables full hardware H.264 decoding on Rockchip stateless decoders. Result: Stable 1080p 60fps stream on a 1GB RAM device. Audio Overhaul: Replaced PulseAudio and QtAudio with RtAudio. This creates a direct, low-latency path to the ALSA hardware driver. Display: Targets linuxfb (Framebuffer) by default instead (eglfs and ffmpeg have issues when you run them together due to DRM master lock) Configuration This release requires a specific ALSA configuration to allow audio mixing (dmix) without PulseAudio. Create/Edit /etc/asound.conf: pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm "dmix_hdmi" capture.pcm "plug_null" } ctl.!default { type hw card 0 } pcm.plug_null { type plug slave.pcm "null" } pcm.dmix_hdmi { type dmix ipc_key 1024 ipc_perm 0666 slave { pcm { type hw card 0 device 0 } format S16_LE rate 48000 channels 2 period_size 512 buffer_size 4096 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } Known Issues Invisible Cursor: The mouse cursor works but is currently invisible when the FFmpeg video backend is active (rendering layer order issue). Backend Fallback: In rare edge cases where DRM initialization fails, the app may incorrectly default to Qt software output. Probably more, i haven't tested it that much Development Status: Active & Seeking Contributors Currently, I am the sole maintainer focusing on the RK322x platform (specifically the RK3229). I am actively looking for developers interested in expanding support to other devices (such as RK3328, RK3399, or Allwinner H3/H6). If you have experience with C++, Qt, or V4L2/DRM and want to help turn these TV boxes into capable head units, contributions are highly welcome!

Decided to see how far the LLM have come along and give this another crack. Gemini 3 Flash seems to have got me a few steps forward. It had me add zswap and build a swap file while adjusting some of the U-Boot variables. /boot/armbianEnv.txt additions/changes fdt_addr_r=0x42000000 ramdisk_addr_r=0x42800000 fdt_high=0xffffffff initrd_high=0xffffffff extraargs=zswap.enabled=0 swiotlb=1024 I had to expand the filesystem to use more of the SD card then added a 512M swapfile sudo fallocate -l 512M /mnt/pinecube/swapfile sudo chmod 600 /mnt/pinecube/swapfile sudo mkswap /mnt/pinecube/swapfile It took a solid 5 or so minutes but I got booted. It's very slow but at least I got this far! Just leaving this here for anyone else that may stumble along.
