Thank you, looking more calmly, I found the headers marked as G, R, T. Would these be: ground, tx, rx? I think I'm confusing it with my second TVbox which has a slightly different PCB, if this is the UART interface, I'll solder headers and connect my USB adapter, at what baud rate should I listen? It worked, it was these pads, here is the output with booting from the SD card: DDR Version V1.10 20190926 In ID:0xFFF 660MHz DDR3 Bus Width=16 Col=11 Bank=8 Row=15 CS=1 Die Bus-Width=16 Size=1024MB mach:2 OUT U-Boot SPL 2021.04-armbian (May 06 2021 - 19:15:25 +0000) Trying to boot from MMC2 I/TC: I/TC: Non-secure external DT found I/TC: Switching console to device: /serial@11030000 I/TC: OP-TEE version: 3.10.0-40-ga1d5c81f (gcc version 9.2.1 20191025 (GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 9.2-2019.12 (arm-9.10))) #6 Wed Sep 16 21:36:15 UTC 2020 arm I/TC: Primary CPU initializing M/TC: Not protecting region 1: 0x68400000-0x68600000 I/TC: Primary CPU switching to normal world boot U-Boot 2021.04-armbian (May 06 2021 - 19:15:25 +0000) Model: Generic Rockchip rk322x TV Box board DRAM: 992 MiB MMC: dwmmc@30000000: 1, dwmmc@30020000: 0 Loading Environment from EXT4... ** File not found /boot/boot.env ** ** Unable to read "/boot/boot.env" from mmc0:1 ** In: serial@11030000 Out: serial@11030000 Err: serial@11030000 Model: Generic Rockchip rk322x TV Box board Net: eth0: ethernet@30200000 starting USB...

unfortunately I don't have access to the serial UART of the TV box, I didn't find any pad with the tx rx labels on the PCB, I'm going to try to replace the rootfs, in the functional Armbian image, with the exception of the boot directory, then write it using multitool , I'll post here if this works. Thank you very much for the tips and quick responses

Hi, thanks for the answer, you're right, I should have done that, but in theory, it should work to copy a bootable image from the sd card to the emmc, right? Where should I start looking to find out why it won't boot? I don't have a lot of experience on the subject, do you think I should do a clean installation on emmc using multitool? I would really like not to lose the settings and apps from my current system, would copying the rootfs to the new installation work?

Hi, I've been using Armbian on TVBox RK322x for some time. Basically a test that went wrong broke my system and I was forced to reinstall Armbian and all the programs I had before. To prevent something similar from happening again, I thought about saving the image to the SD card, configuring everything, installing all the programs and finally, creating a backup image of the SD card and writing Armbian to the internal EMMC. However, when I tried to write the system in the internal emmc, only the option to write the bootloader in sd/emmc appeared, thinking it was something related to the legacy kernel I was using, I upgraded to the mainline, and even then the option to write the system to emmc didn't show up. The legacy kernel is essential because I need the onboard wifi drivers, the plan was to upgrade the kernel, write to emmc, and then downgrade the kernel. The armbian that is running from the sd card was a debian buster version with a legacy kernel, so I froze the firmware and kernel, and upgraded to bookworm by changing the apt repositories and performing a full upgrade. My question is: from this bootable system via sd card, how can I install it on the internal emmc? I have already tried writing the sd card image to emmc using multitool but the box does not boot.
