Yes it will boot from SD card first Easiest way os to just pop the cover off on the bottom, it's just held on by some clips and look at the board.

FYI flashing to EMMC causes a u-boot loop that's impossible to break out of. i was lucky enough to find an android image that works and flashed it back with AndroidTool to get the box working again. Not sure if it's expecting a specific partition structure or what. I did not go too far into it. I built an image with rk3528-evb3-lp4x-v10.dtb that seemed to work somewhat.

Got Armbian to run on those $20 TV Boxes sold at Wal-Mart. This is for the Dopinder variant, i have not tested on the newest version (YOC) but I will likely pick one up just to see. -removed- Requires a few changes outside of the norm for armbian builds, so it's on my own fork. Likely will not be doing a PR. That said, it pulls the latest armbian source when building. https://github.com/sicXnull/Onn4K-TV-Box-Armbian Needed: OTG Cable (required) USB Hub (recommended) USB to Ethernet adapter (recommended) Working HDMI Audio Bluetooth Wi-Fi Building: git clone https://github.com/sicXnull/Onn4K-TV-Box-Armbian.git cd Onn4K-TV-Box-Armbian git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/armbian/build armbian-build cp -R armbian-patch/* armbian-build/ cd armbian-build ./compile.sh build BOARD=onn4k BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED= DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=mate DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm cd .. sudo ./postscript.sh write the image to USB. cd armbian-build/output/images sudo dd if=Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Onn4k_bookworm_current_6.6.48_mate_desktop.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress Booting from USB Plug it into your onn 4K UHD using an OTG cable, and hold the reset button while plugging in power. For future boots, you just need the USB drive plugged in during poweron. There is no more need to hold the reset button. EMMC Boot I'm assuming flashing to EMMC will break it, i have not tested this yet, although i plan to in the future.

Honestly, i took the dtb from a OPi Zero3 (i think) so that was likely disabled by default. i believe enabling will fix the USB issue listed above (will test and fix if so). Still learning here when it comes to customizing the DTS. I will check this out, along with your other recommendations. Much appreciated! I opened this thread for feedback like this so the box can be 100% sometime in the future.

Confirmed on my end too, only 1 of the USB ports work. Ill take a look at the dts. I honestly only tested on 1080p monitor, so the 4k thing never came up for me, ill see what i can find out. I'm no pro with building DTB's, and it's my hope others can contribute to this box and make it perfect, but i'll continue to learn and contribute as time goes on. Odd, i just fired up bookworm w/cinnamon. I will upload 24.11 6.6.44 to my repo or you can compile it yourself from the main armbian repo

Power off unit. Burn to SD card, insert SD card, power on. You don't need to press the button in the AV port Your board looks different and has a different ramchip. I'm assuming it's not the LPDDR3 version but i could be wrong.

https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/7101 i pushed a build for this device.

Update - PR Merged https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/7101 Please use the main repo to compile this. I'd edit the OG post but i cannot for some reason ./compile.sh build BOARD=x96q BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm

Currently working on a build for this device. It boots and is about 90% functional on 6.6 and 6.7 Kernel https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/tree/X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3 Working - Desktop - Ethernet - Wifi Not working - DTS could use some work. Right now it does not detect internal EMMC so installing to EMMC is not an option. - Likely other things i've missed. I've uploaded two images to my git. Full w/Mate Desktop Minimal/Server Feel free to compile this yourself if you don't trust my images, it's encouraged. Changes are on the X96Q-TVBOX-LPDDR3 Branch Full W/Desktop ./compile.sh build BOARD=x96q-tvbox BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm Minimal/Server ./compile.sh build BOARD=x96q-tvbox BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm

Hello Everyone I have added Armbian for the Heltec HT-M2808 Helium Miner https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6989#event-13647037453 https://heltec.org/project/ht-m2808/ To Compile ./compile.sh build BOARD=rk3328-heltec BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no EXPERT=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes KERNEL_GIT=shallow RELEASE=bookworm You can obviously decide to go with a desktop environment (board has no HDMI) or use a different release. How to Flash 1) Install Rockchip Flash Tools 2) Download bootloader (rk3328_loader_ddr333_v1.16.250.bin) attached here. 3) Boot device into LOADER mode. Plug USB Cable in to back of the unit, powered off. On the back of the device. Use a small pin and hold the reset button (unit powered off) THEN insert the power cable while the reset button is pressed 4) Follow the flash procedure found here. Maskrom Pin If you get stuck and need to reflash, there's a good chance holding the reset button will not work to get back into LOADER mode. To boot directly to MASKROM, you can short this pin Needed 1) Wifi/BT does not work currently 2) SPI not recognized 3) LEDs not working 4) Likely other things, but the OS is 90% functional. rk3328_loader_ddr333_v1.16.250.bin
