What build are you using? What uboot are you using? What dtb files have you tried? (Per the instructions you should try all dtb's compatible with your cpu to find the one that works best).

There shouldn't be an upper limit on your power supply (as long as it supplies enough to meet the boards needs, so lower limit yes, upper limit no). Those numbers only indicate the amount of power available to the box, not how much it will draw. You could use a 2amp or 3amp power supply without any problem.

Is that the only dtb you have tried? Per the instructions you should try all the meson-gxl dtbs to find the one that comes closest to matching your hardware. P212 is just the reference dtb and doesn't really indicate much.

What uboot and dtb are you using? What size and type of sd card?

If you have no preference, I'd recommend Armbian Noble Desktop XFCE (6.6 kernel). That is the latest Ubuntu userspace with the currently supported kernel and a lightweight desktop environment.

Have you tried a new install on a new sd card?

Moved to the correct forum. Armbian does not support the Rock64. It is Community Maintained, moved to the Community Maintained forums and added the correct board tag.

And not even then. Because this is no longer supported by Debian, the files from upstream needed to build no longer exist.

If it is really an rk3318 box, then you should start here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/26978-csc-armbian-for-rk3318rk3328-tv-box-boards

There is no archive for 'current images'. As of 24.02 and going forward the only images produced are the community builds.

What OS are you running on the boxes?

You normally connect ethernet to a switch or router not directly to a laptop. You need something providing dhcp addresses and routing traffic between connected devices. While is is possible to setup a laptop to at as a dhcp server and to route traffic that isn't normal and isn't easy to setup correctly. You just need to plug the board into your 'network' and plug you laptop into the same network.

This is community maintained software. I'm not aware of anyone else that has that specific box. So you are welcome to track down the issue and submit a PR for a fix.

Does it boot properly if you pull the power? Reboot not working correctly is a common issue on these boxes where you don't have a dtb file that is an exact match for your hardware.

The repository exist again, but is empty as focal is EOS (End of Support status) for Armbian

After releasing the button, then remove the power and plug the power back in. What happens then? Also what dtbs have you tried?

If you are getting the android recovery you are holding the reset button too long. Have you ever installed and/or run any other OS on this box other than the preinstalled android?

Those are not what you have installed on that SD card.

The directory listing you show has files from 2020. But this download page doesn't have anything that old. You are not using builds that are current.

If you look at the log you will see that a patch is failing to apply. If you look at the error, you will see that the failure is for: drivers/usb/typec/tcpm/tcmp.c and if you look at kernel.org you will see that that file change earlier today as part of changes for 6.6.31 which was released today. So you can either contribute a fix for the patch, wait until someone else does that, or pin your build to the previous kernel version.

Based on this, you are not using Armbian. You are using a fork of Armbian. The maintainers of this fork use the Armbian name without permission. They do not participate in Armbian development, nor do they participate in these forums. Either use Armbian (Armbian com), or get support for what you are using from where you downloaded it from.

You should not put a custom dtb in this location. When you upgrade the kernel it will delete this directory and replace it with the contents of the new kernel 's dtbs. And then your box will fail to boot at the dtb file referenced in your extlinix.conf file will be missing. To answer your original question don't expect wifi to work on any TV box running amlogic build. I have about 6 different boxes and wifi doesn't work on any of them. This is mentioned in the FAQ: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first It would be easier to buy a USB dongle for wifi if you need it.

What build of Armbian are you running?

In general you are going to need to find or fix a dtb file to correspond to the hardware you are running.
