So, I was able to finally install armbian without any monitor flickering during the installation and startup process. I tested it on two different images. The original dtb from the multitool was renamed, so the installation was successful. However, I still have a few questions: 1. the diode on my board is now constantly blinking. Is this how it should be and can't be fixed? 2. Can I install only those images that are listed in the first post? For example, is it possible to install Manjaro Arm? I saw it in one of the videos on YouTube. Naturally, the processor there was different. 3. On our boards with a rockchip, is it possible to run Linux from SD without installing it in memory? 4. I saw a mention of Wifi in the first post. Has anyone managed to get it running? If so, I would like a link to the instructions, if possible

I feel like an idiot. A little) @jock So what I was able to find out. rk322x-box.dtb - this is the original file that comes with the multitool by default. If I use it, then there are big problems with the monitor. If you rename it to the rk3229-at-3nod-func.dtb or rk3229-echo-v10.dtb, then when using the monitor, the blinking is not so intense. Which makes it possible to install the image. When installing, it reports that the installation takes place in mmcblk2 I also unpacked these 2 files from the image: rk3229-at-3nod-func.dtb - he's not very helpful. If you use it, then the monitor does not blink. But when burning in a one second, a message appears that the image is burned in mmcblk1. Image not installed rk3229-echo-v10.dtb - if you use it, then the monitor does not blink. The image is burned in mmcblk1 In both variants, when the image was burned in mmcblk1 and mmcblk2, armbian was successfully launched. However, this does not negate the fact that when installed armbian was started, the monitor blinked in any case. I hope that this information will help solve these problems, and I also hope that I have presented this information more or less clearly. rk322x-box.dtb rk3229-at-3nod-func.dtb rk3229-echo-v10.dtb

I apologize, but how do I provide a working dtb? I asked for help myself.)

At first I used the original files. When that didn't work, I started trying other options( I don't quite understand how this can be done I will try other HDMI cables now, and also try to connect to the TV. The second log file that I sent, I received using the original multitool upd. @jock So, I checked something: I have an HDMI hub connected to my monitor. By connecting directly, there was a little less flickering (by a very small amount). This made it possible to install Armbian somehow. Don't ask me how, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer. It seems to me that after many experiments I'm going crazy)) When you first start Armbian, the monitor and TV continue to flicker. I also used other HDMI cables. I do not know what this is related to. If the problem with flickering in the multitool menu was solved by replacing dtb. Then when you start Linux, this problem is present Here is an example of running a multitool with the original dtb. There are artifacts on the screen, and rarely for a second you can see the utility menu. If you watch to the end, then for a second you will see the menu https://mega.nz/file/aIZH3D6Z#BlwhxQonYeh46fkJTh2YmaBpJSFqllGrXO_Bz5WP-ZI

Yes, I replaced it with rk3229-at-3nod-func.dtb from one of the firmware. Because it is impossible to work with dtb, which was originally contained in the multitool - the monitor blinks continuously after startup Should I make the log again with the original dtb? Here is the log with the original dtb I am not completely sure that I was able to start the firmware process, as I previously said that the monitor is blinking and almost nothing is visible that is happening dmesg.multitool.log

Where is the log when trying to burn an image using a multitool Now I will also take a photo of my board Photos here. On the board, the processor is labeled as 3228a. But in AIDA64 it is displayed as 3229 https://i.imgur.com/wK3kJuN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/N1D6F2k.jpg https://i.imgur.com/d8TNc6c.jpg dmesg.multitool.log

thanks for your reply. As far as I can tell, the emmc is working, since the TV box works (it's new). 🙄 I tried to erase the emmc using the multitool. If after that I write the image to a memory card, then I see the initial launch of Linux, but the monitor flashes all the time, which makes it impossible to work. Also, the diode on the TV box is flashing all the time. I'll try to post the log a bit later.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? When I try to flash any image to my rk3229 using a multitool, a window with progress information appears for a second and the message "Image has been burned to device mmcblk1" immediately appears

Hi. Someone could help me with running Linux on my tv box MXQ Pro 4k 2gb RAM on the rk3229 processor. During the whole day I tried many options, looked at a lot of manuals, but did not get a result. Initially, I wanted to run Linux from a memory card. But none of the images from the link above started. My TV box just won't start. The monitor enters the HDMI/Analog mode several times and goes into sleep mode. Now I have installed a multitool on the memory card and started a backup. Although the backup is working, but my monitor is constantly flashing. I also don't know what it's related to
