Rpi support for whatever of their devices is mainly on the level of RaspberryPi OS. We use their kernels sources as base, add some additional things and release timing is different - not much difference. If they added new device, it should just work. If anyone wants to improve support or fix WiFi -> https://github.com/armbian/build/pulls

@Bones558 I guess you are using a USB-C to HDMI adapter? I bought one and it doesn't work on kernel 6.6. I think it's because the DRM heap driver hasn't been updated yet. I got a Micro HDMI to HDMI cable, and that works.

Hello everyone! I have TV box MX10 based on RK3328. It freezes on the manufacturer's label on boot. So I need to update the firmware. I followed the instructions from 1st post but didn't get success. When I run "Erase eMMC" it change modal windows with messages very fast and at the end shows "Successfully done". The same when I run "Write new image". It shows immediately that it is flashed. I have run the shell and checked `dmesg` and found there errors like "group start error -110, status 0x0". What does it mean? Then I installed "rkdeveloptool" and followed steps from this thread: - ld - I see TV box in Loader mode - rd 3 - switch to Maskrom mode - dd loader.bin - done - wl 0x0 armbian.img - done - rd - toexit when I run tv box I got the same freeze on logo and that's all Is eMMC died? or?

You can check the .DTB files on the bootfs (FAT32) 1st partition. AFAIK the Pi500 uses a D0 variant of the SoC and that needs a separate/dedicated .dts (when downstream kernel what Armbian also uses). When upstream kernel, make sure you have the very latest, as even in 6.18.0-rc? (or 6.19.0-rc? dont remember) I saw some fix w.r.t. naming w.r.t. that D0 variant. And also should pair with proper and/or new enough bootloader (the code in EEPROM). Still upstream kernel might lack a lot of functionality, but at least RP1 should work so RJ45 should work.
