Dear @jock, Today I managed to buy a UART converter - sadly, these are the first rows of the boot log (copy-pasted the output from Putty window to a txt file): DDR version 1.16 20190713 ID:0xFFF In DDR3 333MHz Bus Width=32 Col=11 Bank=8 Row=15 CS=1 Die Bus-Width=16 Size=2048MB ddrconfig:2 OUT It seems that the RAM is, as Armbian was able to detect, 2 GB. Only this ddrconfig: 2 value is peculiar. I've attached the whole output, but don't know if there is something else relevant, which is missing from it Thank you once again for your support! If I can provide any further information, I'm available. Best regards! EDIT: Using the DDR Version I was able to find this comment from chess12 and there are three differences between our outputs : 1. Row=16 instead of 15 2. Size=4096 3. ddrconfig:3 boot log.txt

@jock, thank you for you swift reply! I'll try to get my hands on a UART module in the next couple of weeks and report back. Hopefully the information will be helpful for other members of the forum as well!

Hello, guys! This would be my first post in the forum and I want to thank everyone contributing to the Armbian effort - I haven't had that much fun tinkering since forever! My question is related to the RAM detection - I've scoured this thread as well as the possible other places for information, but couldn't find quite the same case, even though it's referenced at least 3 times inside this thread: Multitool and Armbian only pick up 2 GB of ram; I've opened the box and there are 8 total K4B4G0446C chips on it (4 on each side). According to other posts, the data in the datasheet is shown in Gb instead of GB and, if my calcualtions are correct, it has 4 x 4 Gb, two on each side = 32 Gb = 4 GB RAM. Is it possible that only one half is operational? If these are binned chips, is it possible for them to be halved? In all other cases regarding the RAM capacity that I've read about here the TV box already came with the wrong RAM size. In another forum users reported halving of the RAM after an Android firmware update, but there was an (Android) image that fixed the issue (I wouldn't know if it was fake or fixed a software bug). The board is X88 PRO-B-RK3318-D4-V1.2 4 GB RAM (allegedly)/ 32GB ROM model (even though 64 ROM was ordered). As you can probably guess, before installing Armbian, Android reported 4 GB RAM/64 GB ROM, but all apps for filling up the RAM couldn't be installed. Images of the board can be found here - https://imgur.com/a/wTQqXO5; armbian hardware log - http://ix.io/3XvN; dmesg: I tried extracting the device tree file, but was able to get 11 different files; if they would be of help, I can also provide them here. Unfortunately, I do not have a UART module, but am willing to search for one locally. Thank you in advance and have a nice day!
