@jock, first of all, congratulations for the work and commitment! A lot of work has already been done here (I still haven't been able to read all the content).
I have some questions, if you can help me...
I have an old box and I decided to install Armbian in it to use it with Octoprint for my 3d printer. I have faced some problems, some I managed to solve by reading here, others I didn't. If it is possible for you to clear some of the doubts that have arisen, I would appreciate it.
1. My board is an R29 with rk3228a processor. I read that there is a problem with the HDMI, I couldn't see if they already found a solution.
2. I'm installing via multitool, the problem is that, sometimes, after multitool installs the rom (I install via SSH, because HDMI doesn't work), I can't access it anymore, as if the boot process is stuck. Other times it manages to start, but randomly it crashes. What could this turn out to be?
3. Once I was able to install, but when accessing armbian-config or rk322x-config, it also crashes randomly.
4. When I go to use an apt command, I also have problems with freezing. Sorry if I'm asking something that has already been resolved, but as I mentioned, I still haven't been able to read all the pages.
5. I read on some of the pages that you didn't have R29 cards to study HDMI errors. If you still have problems installing, I'm thinking about getting a box with other hardware. If there is still interest, if I really buy another one, I can be sending this one to you.
Once again, congratulations for the beautiful work and I thank you in advance for any help that appears.
