@remlei you can see from the u-boot log that the overlay is not applied because there is the rk322x prefix two times. The overlay must be set literally as usb-otg-peripheral as I wrote above, and not rk322x-usb-otg-peripheral: the rk322x prefix is added automatically. About the OTG functionality, as said your mileage may vary. Unforturnately the rk322x OTG port or driver does not seem to be very collaborative or totally standard compliant.

@remlei last time I checked, the usb gadget overlay was working fine and the UCD device was correctly spawning up. Some things work with rk322x (mass storage), some others don't (UAC1, UAC2), so your mileage may vary. Verify you have usb-otg-peripheral in /boot/armbianEnv.txt in the overlays= line

@Vinicius Guastala I agree with @fabiobassa, thanks for the very detailed post of your board and broad description of the behaviour. I would suggest you to erase the internal flash and try to boot from sdcard with this armbian image. It is an "experimental" image with opensource Trust OS; many recent boards are having issues with proprietary trust os, possibly yours has similar issues, so you could give a shot to this. By the way, the serial log output would be indeed very handy if you have the chance to find the serial port. Beware also that armbian (and multitool) use 115200bps baud rate for the serial, while proprietary software uses 1.5Mbps baud rate!

@gurzixo much better to steer to an officially supported SBC from armbian, if you need something reliable: https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Platinum support&arch=aarch64

Yes, but use a flash device as swap is the worst idea you can have

The only way, which is really discouraged and discontinued, is to use a build with legacy kernel. On mainline kernel, the only driver supported is for ssv6051p, but it does not work for ssv6256p. There could be several reasons the eMMC is not detected. One of the reason is obviously it is the broken, even though the DDR part is still working. More often the board has some circuitry or the chip has some configuration that need to be tuned properly in software to work. Tv boxes have plenty and plenty of different configurations that is impossibile to cover all the compatibility issues that may arise. If the flash part of the eMCP is really broken, if you plug an sdcard with Armbian on it, the stock Android should not boot (obvious if the internal flash is broken) and Armbian should boot instead. About the MSN8800D, it seems to be a clone of AIC8800D chip, of which a driver is circulating and should already be integrated in armbian, but not yet enabled for rk322x.

@incbot just use a fresher image rather than a two years old one: https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/tag/25.5.0-trunk.444

I don't see any driver written with your name. Can you share that?

If you think it is so simple and you say you're so capable, do it yourself. Point me where your contributions to the project are and I will take this post seriously.

At the moment there is no driver for the mainline kernel to drive the analog output, so no composite output unfortunately. The driver in the vendor kernel does not seem very complex, but yet noone has ported it to mainline kernel.

Hello, you may want to edit the device tree and turn off the mmc@... node where the sdio wifi chip is connected. You may find it easily looking for supports-sdio property, then switch status property do disabled

Added support for Debian Trixie (only for arm64)

No factory images here; I just tried an Armbian image with Ubuntu Noble and it worked flawlessy with XFCE, just need to disable the XFCE compositor to have full framerate.

UPDATE! Hello everyone, I'm glad to give a fresh update. After a couple of weeks and more or hard work, I finished the complete overhaul of the repository. It is now handled in a much tidier way. The result of this is a much easier support for new distributions as soon as they are published! I have just updated the instructions, since the old repository is no longer active; I suggest you to remove the old repository from you apt sources and install the new repository as described in first page. Packages for Noble Numbat are already available! Enjoy!💪

with mainline kernel, yes
