@Harleyyyu
my 2 cents thought .....
We are talking about a 10 dollars soc . Is already a great milestone it is " just working"
Anyway.. If you achieve any good result let's us know -
@Harleyyyu
great , let's follow for project and keep us updated , please -
@Jerry Falken
I am pretty sure you jumped in this 3ad without reading all of it, and this is unfair .
You are right, it is huge, but such question you ask have been already answered in the past many times , and I will answer just as a form of courtesy , but will not go back in the future on the same question again
If you look at your board you can spot 3 pads : tx rx gnd . That is all is needed, no 5 volts just tx rx gnd
Those pads are the "uart" , in other words there you will see ALL that happens when the board starts, if is a rk 322x or other fake print, if it is ddr3 or ddr2 manyyyyy manyyy infos to debug the whole process. For me it is a 3229 with ddr3 memory but uart will tell you
Go find in the 1st post the speed of uart to use with putty or minicom ( spoiler :1500000 🙃 )
just for sake of coriousity, this si the setting I have in my lab: ALWAYS and I repeat ALWAYS a uart connected to debug what is going so if you need answer.. post the right questions and not generic ones
g on

Never seen such board, you need usb-ttl converter , connect to tx-rx-gnd and grab the output

What commands would i specifically need to run to do what you said (Blacklisting kernel, seguenti (?))
well this forum is more oriented on hardware and compiling stuffs rather than generic linux info that you can find every where on the net so I won't answer on this, google it
12 hours ago, Jerry Falken said:server, something i can ssh into to run some basic websites on nginx
You can remain also on old distros such as debian 9 stretch minimal without gui but with ssh support to run headless ngix apps.
I don't think you need newer distros to run such easy apps , the important is improve a good firewall and also a fail2ban app to protect your system but, again, those are more generic linux questions rather than support on tvboxes socs
-
Unfortunately you must remain on kernel 4.4.xxx because as many times said newer kernels doesn t support NAND.
About upgrading to newer distros, blacklist kernel update in apt and try doing seguential apt dist upgrades changing repository and starting by a well working distro
I have up to Debian bookworm ( Debian 12 ) but only cli, no desktop
May I ask what the purpose are you using for your tv box ?
-
-
None newer of 4.4.xxx ( usually 4.4.194) Will let you use internal nand
You should spray on sd
-
R329Q_V3.1 are known board to be a little "difficult" to manage, but they work and work very well because are ddr3 up to 660 mhz ram speed
The big problem is that they are mostly NAND thus support is limited to legacy old images with kernel 4.4.194 and NAND support
any newer kernel simply will not boot because of NO NAND DRIVERS
I said MOSTLY because lately have shown on the market borads 329 with ecmp and i don't know if yours is this with ecmp
QuoteI could run the image directly via OTG with RKdevtools
would you explain in a more detailled way what you did, please ? -
-
It Is not the first neither will be the last time that china manufacturers fake soc printing.
Have a look on allwinner forum
-
I am not very sure this Is a rockchip board.. i see h3q ...may be an allwinner h3 ??????
Can you check removing the heatsink ?
Or check with USB ttl adapter ?
-
@Kiranmoy Saha
I guess you have a box with NAND , not emmc
You must use an old image that supports nand , typiclly kernel 4.4.xxx and follow 1st post jump start on nand
Any newer kernel doesn't have nand support -
You said box Is 322x
You said wifi Is 6330
But then you tried dtbo from 3318 board
Not sure if is gonna work
-
@Benedito Portela
you are a long term user on this forum to don't know that debugging is a MUST !!!!!!!
And you have such WONDERFULL uart pads, even with names ( tx rx gnd) ... why don't you use them and let all of us know what going in your box ??😇 😉 -
@Lucas Gomes
you should force it go in maskrom ( if no phisical damage occurred) finding the appropriate pins on the board -
@Tavares R
if you read the 1st post you will see that this box is a half-miracle, in the meaning that it work under some intergalactic forces 🤣😎 since it's harware is quite limited
For use such as headless server is fantastic but when it comes to net browsing it shows all it's limits
In the first post also is detaiiled a way to install full hw acceleration
I tested many many many rootfs and many combinations but with XORG almost any browser is quite unusable. I dont have experience with wayland thought
Different approach with playing video and music under libreelec with a reasonable frame rate and hw acceleration , but on this side @ilmich could be more specific -

sheesh, this box sure is really hell of a work. if I dont have extra time, id probably not doing this and just buy a cheap orange pi instead
Yes indeed, sometimes I ask to myself ( and to my friends @jock @ilmich ) who the hell give us so much entusiasm, patience ( and frustration) to deal AGAINST not the box itself, but against the lack of good documentation and support , but when finally a stuff is working after thousands of trials and errors, well then I go sleep like a child with it's christmas gift.
This is the pagic called PASSION !!!

@Vinicius Guastala
@jock indeed is a semi-god on those boxes 😅 ✋ -
@Vinicius Guastala
first of all thank you for so much detailled infos and your efforts to find any relevant pin on your board.
Yes china manufacturers are well known to use the first avaible chip they have unused on desk so I am not at all surprised to have this frankstein model of a 322x
Unfortunately I don't own such board, so really at the moment I have few clues to point you on the right direction.
Mine are generic considerations:
1) no separate chips apart from cpu, just one big big chip = ECMP usually 8 giga rom, 1 giga ram ( good for you if it is 16/2 but i doubt)
2) to me looks more interesting the FGHI part for uart, REMEMBER that uart speed is 1500000 ( yes!!!!! one million 500000) but follow the tracks for any missing resistor/missing short that stop the uart signal from CPU to pads
3) if you have a radio-aficionado or a tv technician that owns an oscilloscope finding the uart pads will be easier
Sorry if I am not any further useful for your case, cannot buy every single new board that comes out on market, but if for you is important feel free to send me one sample for study and development
EDIT : I just remebered that if you are lucky because not all boards have enabled. you'll find a uart on the sd card reader, starting from most right pins and counting 4 . Let me be more clear : two small and two big, from right....on the 4 you will have a uart at 1.500.000
Of course if you put the sd in you will lose this signal, but at least confirm you have any readable character on that pin )

@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 bootAs 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

@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 ? -
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.

@Harleyyyu
Your project could be interesting , I would suggest to open a dedicated 3ad on It own so people can contribute.
As you have already realized by yourself quite all hardware and drivers aspects of this rk322x soc have bene investigated by @jockand/or @ilmich
But if you achieve any progress on GENERAL drivers and performance that isn't already been discussed or achieved you can came back here to share
Thanks
