All bootloaders allows that, just because the bootloader is not involved in.
The kernel driver does the thing: it wasn't there before, hence for performance reason booting at high DRAM frequency was good. Now it the driver is there, so there is no necessity to boot at high DRAM frequency because the driver can do the thing during run-time.
 
You board however has NAND 100%, see clarification on first page.

@jock
Rare?? 
 
It becames to be the normality this odd behaviour of the loader so is good idea sit on the most compatible and left out the newer boards that need the famous 2t initialisation
 
@Willy Moto
The 2.51 is somehow I call the definitive ERASER 
 
We discovered that old 2.47 +but ALWAYS spectec in name ) is one of the most compatible loader ever.
Stay tuned because exactly in these days jock and me actively discovering more odds behaviour on some boards ( x96 mini e.g.) and trying to solve them. Are you sure your board IS NOT a emcp board instead of emmc or nand ?

Ciao Gianluca, molti italiani qui

That is because in repository of armbian (  could be or could be not ) your deb doesn't exist!!
I am not very fan of docker and I installed home assistant just once.. and it worked.

But since not really interested in HA I deleted the steps to install docker . Sorry. Have a look for some instruction how to install docker on raspberry and choose the ARMHF architecture, NOT the aarc64

Ican only say to you it worked smooth !

I didn't see any overclocked dtb file here around... however I'm not really fond of overclocking for these chips: they already are scrap parts that somehow reach the nominal frequencies. Some of the rk3318 boxes are also downclocked by manufacturers to 1.1 Ghz to be stable, overclocking is not something I would really love about. It's already hard to get the things together and make the board working stable enough. Adding another big source of instability... hmm I don't think it is a wise idea.

14 hours up time on eMMC, with  Doker +HA + Pihole load. 
At the beginning there was one freeze, after which I removed the parameter "rk3318-box-emmc-hc200"  from the armbian-config. 
Then it works stably. 
This is already much better than it was, the changes are obvious. 
I will pick up a good sdcard, and start from it to eliminate the eMMC problem and continue testing.

@Wester_Minsk
 
Consider that I have plenty of 3318 faulty. Those that are faulty completely is a form of "good luck"
 
Those with intermittent fault are the worst , also because when they freeze nothing is written in logs.
 
This kind of freezing could be related to faulty emmc or/and DDR. Especially because you say that have to flash back every thing on emmc
 
One test , if you haven't already done , could be run every thing from SD. In other words erase emmc and do all the testing on SD.
if freezing doesn't occur you have your answer
 
 

@Imad Addin
the link is working fine. Try again tomorrow maybe, some route down maybe

@Wester_Minskno, you misread the datasheet.
Each chip is 2gbit, you have 8, then it's 16gbit / 8 = 2 gbyte, no way out. The specs given by the manufacturer are fake.

Are you sure it is 4gb? If it detects 2Gb probably it is 2gb, and 4gb is a faking spec from the vendor.
It's hard to tell how much memory you have, you have look into the datasheet for the memory chip and multiply for the number of chips.

here is a useful repo
https://github.com/kthejoker20
it has the same tool i just uploaded to my G-Drive. and some more...
i'll keep looking for other tools and newer versions as well when available.

definetly NOT A BAD IDEA !!!!

@RetroFan90

here it comes, but you can also do by yourself looking for the firmware I suggested you
 
3318-OCVR.nPI.dts.zip

@RetroFan90
They are all HK1, the circle one , many but really many have exploded regulators on ddr V+ since the ddr are poorly soldered and/or defective and they have short circuits on the bga balls

Here for you a dts from one of the firmware you send (1.4.1_atv_rk_10.img)

The tool for extracting dtb's is called RK3xxx_firmware_tools_5.23.1_by_SergioPoverony.zip
 
3318dts.zip

how do get the dts file for my box?
do i need to use multitool to dump it first?
i want my clock to work in armbian along with working graphics and a decent overclock
i know that dmssru on 4pda ru forums made a semi decent attempt to overclock android 9 for h96 max but my wifi and bt would not work properly.
and how do i get the metal can off my wifi module? it seems to be soldered on.
here is the firmware for the h96 max modded by dmssru on 4pda

Hope These help

I have attached some photos of the MX10 Pro. I also made a backup of the original android firmware if there is any interest in me uploading it. 

@RetroFan90

I do agree totally with @jock : overclock 3318 is a terrible idea.

We suspect that 3318 is the " poor brother " of 3328 , or in other words , 3318 is a badly assembled/builded 3328 that has some electric electronic characteristic that made impossible to call it 3328 so was downgraded to 3318
I have more than 30 defective 3318 with broken emmc, ddr that go higher than 100 celsius and I wouldn't even try to overclock the few 3318 that are working

In the previous pages I posted some instructions on how to let it work.
The driver for various led drivers is available on github and needs to be manually compiled. I did not include it yet because it has some limitations I would like to fix before integrating into.
Overclock: bad idea on rk3318, but your mileage may vary
 
Why do you want to remove the metal can? It is a very bad idea, it shields the wifi from interferences and if you remove it, probably your wifi/bt will have troubles.
 
There are various instructions over the internet, but what are you expecting from the dts?

i don't have an h96 max , only HK1 Max but some versions of h96 max firmware work fairly normal
some versions have wifi 2.4 + 5 GHz with BT 4 but some versions of h96 max firmware have issues with bluetooth in the sense that when you try to pair anything to it , it connects for a split second and then turns off bt and is reproducible on my HK1 Max but might be different...
like for example the m96 and x88 and some other clones seem to have issues getting the 7 segment 4 digit LED Display to show up after booting on HK1MAX.
some 3328 native firmwares seem to cause the 3318 some trouble by softbricking the loader (which is unbrickable at the hardware level (why i picked RockChip as my main box in the first place.) if all else fails you short the two copper dots with a pair of angled tweezers and plug the usb into the 2.0 port as the 3.0 port won't work afaik in my testing so far...
i'll send links to the android 11 firmware along with 9 & 10 soon...

here are some of the same dtb + kernel dumps of firmwares that seemed to work on my hk1 max rk3318 3328 fake?

@RetroFan90 thank you so much, always is better to have original firmwares to inspect and study !!!

here are the photos for my device
for some odd reason the heatsink was not making contact to the cpu and the cpu is marked
RK3318
SBAKU28043 2039
9F22126 000
And the board silkscreen says :
YX_RK3328_8D4_V1.0
2019.01.15
and the info sticker says : 
3318 D011?
QC2 4+64+6334Q
and the Wi-Fi can says :
HK6334Q
J318234M
2006
and the other silkscreen marking is :
..2047
NCSD

here is the firmware for h96 max based on rk3318/rk3328 avb board

can't remember if it is pre rooted but these two files are the exact ones that the dtb dumps came from using extract_dtb on the Boot.img file for both of them.
 
Hope This Helps.

Hello,
just a few words to thank You. I have a HK1-MAX and was sitting in a drawer for a couple of years after worked as TV box until I upgraded with another one.
So... I followed all the steps and worked like a charm. Just the rk3318-config is missing but I don't know if is necessary.
I installed PI-hole and works fine.
Thank You a lot
