Hi everyone. I have this RK3318 chip box running Ubuntu, but I can't enable SSH to reinstall it. It doesn't have a display output port. Is there any way to reinstall the OS without desoldering the eMMC to reflash it? (I don't know how to put it back if I take it off). I've already tried flashing via USB and the RX/TX/GND lines, but neither worked. Model: AROP-01 CPU: Quad-core ARM processor Memory: 2GB System Storage: 64GB eMMC Network Interface: 1 × Ethernet USB Interface: 1 × USB Type-C Power: 5V/2A Dimensions: 103 × 103 × 20 mm Package Contents: 1 × Manual, 1 × Ethernet Cable, 1 × Power Cable Thank you.

Great question — I’d really like to know too! Have you tried a lightweight Android image like LineageOS-microG inside Waydroid, or tweaked the GPU rendering settings?

Today I noticed that last Sunday a community version of Armbian was released with Orange Pi 4A support. I tried to flash it in different ways just in case, but it just wouldn't boot. I used BalenaEtcher, Rufus and Armbian Imager and neither of them worked. Im new in this stuff, so I wanted to know if someone could tell me if it is something I'm doing wrong.

Here's lspci -vvv with an older Radeon: https://paste.armbian.com/zisezuqoza.yaml and boot UART log (it boots but no display is visible) https://paste.armbian.com/asizofulux.sql Here's the same with Radeon RX 550: https://paste.armbian.com/ovinibafux.yaml The kernel complained about missing firmware (for polaris11), which actually was not missing. I had to regenerate initramfs using initramfsctl. After regenerating, the board stopped booting with the card connected: https://paste.armbian.com/qitiwiwoge.yaml Not sure how useful lsusb would be. So it's not super stable yet. I saw that you made these modules built-in. This is not necessary, selecting [M] is enough because then they can be loaded or unloaded (to try passing the card through to a VM I need to blacklist the module, which doesn't work for built-in modules). This is something I can try to do to get display output. Oh and WiFi isn't detected at all but that's probably not a surprise.

Hi, I am assuming that you have a standard Q1 TV Box (Allwinner H313 based). 1) Download Armbian Imager here; 2) Install the version for your operating system; 3) After installing, choose "Manufacturer=ALLWINNER", Board="X96Q TV BOX", Operating system="minimal Trixie current" and Storage ( I suggest a good quality Class 10 SD card); 4) After writing the image, insert the SD card into the available SD slot; 5) Insert a wooden toothpick or a Q-tip into AV/Reset input; 6) Click (kindly) and hold the toothpick and connect the TV Box power supply to the power entry; 7) Release the toothpick after 8-10 seconds. if the HDMI connector is plugged you should see the Armbian initial boot process Note: some TV Boxes don't need items 5, 6 and 7. I hope it helps.
