Firstly, Sorry for my english, i am not a native speaker.
Hi @Bert Kortenbach, i am having exactly the same issue that you. The solution for the error "There are no eMMC devices suitable for backup" is simply rebooting the Multitool. However, this means I have to reboot every time to recognize the memory.
So I tried to install linux, exactly how is mentioned on the first post of this forum, however it doesn't works.
The multitool part seems to work fine, I can erase, burn and backup image, but after Burn the image, when i try to restart and use internal memory to start linux, there is no video from HDMI.
I tried few images from https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/rk322x-box/archive/ , doesn't matter which one i choose, i tried Legacy, older versions and new ones.
I am not sure which chipset is my MXQ-PRO-4K, because there is a heatsink over the chip and it's glued. using AIDA64 (on android) and a written on the board says RK3229, the multitools shows eMMC memory also.
I'm a layman on this subject, I bought the MXQ to install armbian and run Pi-hole to block ads on my local internet.
Any way to install Armbian on my SDcard and try to runs the image from it? on eMMC
I have a MALE-TO-MALE usb, maybe i could try to install without SDcard, but there is no microbutton(while pressing the reset microbutton with a toothpick) on my device.
Almost forget, when the TV-BOX was stil running native android, there was a Blue led blinking, now when using Multitool or trying to boot image, there is a yellow led and no more signal of the blue led, i am not sure if this information could help, but i didn't see nobody talks about it.
Here is my dmesg.log, please if someone can help me.
