@Void Spirit the easiest thing to do in such cases is connect a ttl > usb converter to those well exposed pads to see what is going on putty or any serial terminal you desire, and help understand why the box doesn't boot As you can see from photos @Alexander has it's debug wires attached semi-permanently with hot glue and this i suggest to you. Saying " I am already tired" really doesn't help a lot , instead giving as much infos as possible will lead to successfully run the box If libreeelc boots, armbian will boot. I have the same box, among many others, and I can say it boots fine and works fine too with armbian

@Enzo Esteban can you check with great precision the stamp on the cpu ? In second image To me it seems a 3328 ......... and not a 3228 . Great difference my friend !!!!!!!!!!!! If it is really a 3328 you are simply doing ALL WRONG . They are totally different cpu's and totally different drivers The 3328 is a 64 bit aarch64 architecture The 3228 is a 32 bit armhf architecture BTW if you are in Brasil, try to contact this people . Basing on our early study they did a distro fitting on these cheap tvboxes https://github.com/educabox/educabox/tree/main

@Enzo Esteban unfortunately ssv6051 and ssv6256 present themself as "South Silicon Valley 6051/6256p device ID: 3030:3030" if you have ssv6256 it will not work is a 5ghz wifi tvbox? can u supply some high resolution board photo ?

@Joshua allen asking for private chat to solve personal issues is the most unappropriate way to act in a public forum. For several reasons: 1) your problem could be the same problem for other people sharing your issues, so solving for you could be solving for many 2) this is an hobby for us and not job. Job is paid, hobby is for free. if you need help for your personal issue you can give an advice asking for paid help 3)this really is the worst approach to an open community of people that friendly and mutual try to help each others that said.... would you share what is your problem, since you already asked for help ( private help..) in another post ? describe what is working, what not, attach procedures and photos of board , explain your moves and results We will try to give you a helpful hand.

@toro2077 If I remember well, and you can confirm by yourself scrolling in older posts, thiw wifi will never ever work since there aren't any driver avaible for this ( infamous) chip s9012p

@Obmor Welcome in the fantastic world of cheap tvboxes 🤪 post scriptum: it happens time to time with mouse, too

@Obmor the ssv6051 is one of the best supported chip we studied. but since some conflicts with 8723as/bs/cs chip it is blacklisted is strange because armbian-config should solve the question and give you wifi try again with armbian-config and select ssv6051 or dig into modules blacklist and comment out ssv6051 ko wil pm you for additional infos on your project since is a thread not concerning this forum

@Obmor If working with librelec " should " work with armbian too. Have checked: Kernel version of both Lsmod on both and check differences Only after you can try swap dtb P.s. which USB gpio adapter are you using? Can you share link

@Obmor post scriptum if you have skills and have a usb/ttl converter well is would be usefull have a log from uart

@Obmor you are very welcome to ask, study and contribute I doubt dtb will work out of box but surely is a good starting point rlt ( realtek ) usually have a good support, you can try to see if, once you have the headers of your kernel, you can compile it by yourself

@galenzhao @zzc @Obmor following what @jock already said let me add this: we are speaking of tvboxes of value ranging from 10 dollars to 15 in worst case and it is a little miracle all the pieces of the puzzle are fitting to get the whole picture. And china producer are building new and new and new boards every week, different from the previous in one bit in dtb perhaps and not working as espected Maintain and develop all is simply impossible mainly for lack of time ( this is done for pleasure not for work... ) but also for lacking of hardware ( how can we test functionality if we don't own PHISICALLY the board ??? ) So in case is fundamental achieve new functionality, feel free to donate boards to me or @jock for further investigations Thanks for understanding, cheers

@Vladimir Trondin Thank you for such detailled Infos, photos and logs I doubt sv6158 Will ever work due lack of driver 's sources but sure @jock Will answer about it

@Parth maybe is easier if you tell us what are your goal, for what purposes you want use this box Don't forget the overall total cpu power and amount of ram, we are speaking of a 12 dollars soc. What do you want from this box ?

@Parth Even 3128 is working quite well with linux just compile kernel with appropriate config and appropriate cpu platform Regarding the garbage on uart, remember the uart speed is unusual ( 1500000 NOT 115200 ) until it starts modified uboot that is 115200 so you have to take care of this note I am the one in this project that discovered the uart pins on mostly of 322x boards and I can give for sure that if garbage comes out is: wrong pin wrong speed lack of ground On the software - firmware side can give you answers @jock @RaptorSDS and all the friends athat daily work on those boards
