Hello @jock, hope you're ok! Seven months ago, I successfully installed Armbian (Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.563_Rk322x-box_bookworm_current_6.6.30_minimal) and RetroPie on my RK3229 TV box (MXQ-4K-5G) using an 8 GB USB drive. Following the instructions from this forum, the entire compilation process took me approximately 15 hours. I saved everything as an IMG file using Win32DiskManager. NOTE : I’m aware that the internal Wi-Fi module (SV6256P, which is my internal wifi module) doesn’t work with this setup, but I know that the Armbian Legacy version with kernel 4.4.194 offers an option in rk322x-config to enable this module. Since then, I’ve created multiple 8 GB images with this configuration. This time, I decided to make a different procedure: Install from scratch an updated Armbian bookworm, then sudo apt install LXDE in order to GUI-access and copy my files from Retropie (via sh script) without needing to remove the SD card and insert it into a separate Linux OS. I used the latest available community image, Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.86_Rk322x-box_bookworm_current_6.6.63_minimal.img.xz, and successfully installed LXDE without any issues. However, after installing RetroPie, the menu runs very slow. Somehow, I sense GPU Video driver is not responding or somehow LXDE messed up video drivers. What do you think might be causing this? Perhaps there is a process running in background, and therefore making things going slow I know a screenshot could explain better, but i'm not at home at this moment. Hope you can help me on this. Regards D

@jock I will, check that option and i'll let you know. Additionally, is it possible to produce a dualboot of this device in order not to touch the Stock firmware (luckily I have a backup)? I'm thinking having a sd card with armbian and when extracting SD, boot to Stock Firmware? Or perhaps do the inverse and make a usb dongle/SD with the Stock firmware and install armbian in the nand.

Hello Guys!, I just want to share my experience with my tv-box. I've succesfully managed to install armbian in my rk3229 tv box Manufacturer Specifications (FROM ALI) General OS Version: Android 4.4 CPU: Rockchip 3229 Quad Core Processor Speed (max): 1.5GHz RAM: 1GB Internal Memory: 8GB External Memory: Support up to 32GB Display Resolution(max): 4K (2880x2160P) Support Video Resolution(max): 4K x 2K Wi-Fi: 802.11 b/g/n Bluetooth 2.1 Google Play DLNA Miracast Airplay 3D Movie Kodi / XBMC 15.2 Adobe Flash: Support Adobe Flash 10.1 and above (Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.667_Rk322x-box_bookworm_current_6.6.31_minimal.img.xz) I've used multitool to first backup my nand, and secondly set armbian image to boot over usb. Of course usb data transfer was significantly lower. Wifi module (rlt8723cs) worked very well, without drops. But my main issue is bluetooth. I was not capable of activate my bt module (after installing several packages). Of course, having a BT dongle fixes the issue but I really wanted to solve it.
