@suser 8723 are pain in the a** On other boards we have had even 8723cs but ONLY working with 8723bs driver. And many other strange combinations My suggestion : IF wifi strictly needed buy a few dollars external USB wifi dongle. ask here which are the best supported

@R Tech Definetly not Easy tò answer what Is going wrong with no booting without any support from uart ( USB/ttl adapter). Let see if somebody else has experienced trouble with this board like your, very recent board Btw It has ecmp chip

@DarthMirous have you read the whole thread ? This problem has been already discussed, such as has been discussed that commercial names (MXQ 4k Pro 5G) have no meaning at all Go back at least , let's say , 10 pages starting from this searching for problems similar to yours , and also post photos of the board inside with particular attention to version of the board

@Tiago Nogueira You asked an info, but let me make a question to you: did you read the whole thread ??? Or just you came in with this question " never made before" ? 😅

@jock I do agree with you, this is another case of " frankenstein needed! : some pieces from one, other pieces from others .. Not very clean solution but in might work Since those days when we starting case study of 322x shutdown and reboot issues were quite always, if not alaways , related to TRUSTOS so using the " legacy-proprietary" trustos and uboot for booting and then pass control to main kernel and rootfs could ipothetically work

@audio kees I do agree with @jock libreelec is not a bad idea, it works fine with tv, iptv ( LEGAL contents) , with dvb usb tuner dongle and with all media . Volumio is interesting, too Armbian is for ssh, nas, voip pbx, vpn, servers, and all the stuffs network related that linux is capable of. If you want high level media performances, just leave in a corner the 15 dollars tv box ( that work lovely thought) and go on well supported platforms as jock is suggesting you. But again , please open a new thread if you like, so we can keep this discussion about rk322X hardware/booting/hdmi and so on related problems. And thank you for spotting the emc/nand clock pin

@audio kees for me too is strange libreelec is bricking your board. Sure this don't happen on emmc and old nand with legacy kernel , but you have ecmp so maybe devil is in details. On this same thread and on libreelec forum there is a man @ilmich . He is the libreelec' s MASTER (lol), he is a friend and always prone to answer and find solutions. Let's ear directly from him his opinion. So I find usefull now you move on libreelec forum since here is more specific to armbian, linux and hardware problems related, all problems that seems to be solved Anyway I guess it should boot and work smoothless even libreelec on this ecmp , but I'm not the one that can answer

@audio kees I definetly agree with @RaptorSDS on the right side you have pins for a nand that isn't soldered .you can spot ecmp clock even there. usually pin 6 or 7 starting from the dot, but check with oscilloscope or try to boot pressing the little switch just at the end of eraphones hole at while still pressing it plug power. also try to find uart

@audio kees don't blame on age , 61 here ...lololol anyway the system is booting from sd ..and it will work from internal emmc , too !! just grab the gz one from the server and do all again, first erase the emmc and then burn in internal storage did you remember, or can you test by inserting again the multitool SD , how the internal storage was identified ? usuallycould be mmc2 or something like that

@audio kees you need the most simple and stupid usb keyboard, not sofisticated ones nor wireless because of lack of drivers in multitool that has a very basic kernel If you haven't one ... grab from a friend remember.. kiss !!! keep it simple (and) stupid
