Hello, did someone manage to succesfully run/install armbian in one of these? It's a Ximi plus tv stick, And I found some similarities with the boxes on this thread. I tried one image from another thread for Allwinner H3, which worked for me for another box With CPU Allwinner H313. However, the image in question on the stick only showed a black screen, with apparently no hdmi output. Note that a hub was used with a USB to SD card adapter.

Hello, @Hugo Silva I'm also searching for solutions using TV Boxes for education in Brazil. Recently discovered that the IK316 CPU is "compatible" with some H616 images, so I am linking one image that you can test by yourself. I can't ensure that your RedOne is the same one as mine, but I confirm that I tested this image with a RedOne. The only problem is that it looks like the TV Box has a NAND storage, which seems that is not supported by armbian-install. Aside from that, it works fine enough. Here is the link: HIGH_TVArmbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q-v5-1_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img.xz Also two pictures of the board for comparison:

Hello, I am new to Armbian, but have access to a lot of RK3228A boards and up to now I have installed it on some. I noticed that a big part of these boards have the Wi-Fi module sv6x5x, like sv6158, sv6212p, 6051 and sv6030p (the last one is not 6x5x, but ok) I also noticed that this type of module kind of had support in the past, since older RK322x images came up with the corresponding Wi-Fi driver (ssv6x5x), but the newer images don't seen to come with it. The problem lies on the fact that older images (legacy kernel) are not supported anymore. So my question is: Is there a way to select some configs on the Armbian framework to build images that come with this driver? If not, is there any tips on where I can get the source code and how I can compile it myself ?

Hello, @Donnovan Machado I have the exact same board as yours, and from what I know, it is actually an Amlogic s905l/s905d. This case (R69) is very diverse and random and I have already seen 4 different CPU's with this same R69 logo. 3 of them were actually Amlogic s905l/s905d, despite showing Rockchip RK3228A and Alllwinner H3. So I would recommend trying an image for aml-s9xx to ensure it is amlogic, and setting the correct dtb and bootloader for the s905l/s905d if so.

Is there any update or ongoing effort on the support for this SoC?

Hello, I am having some problem following the tutorial for this board (identified as R69): I thought of using the multitool to burn an image to the tv box, but after picking an image and inserting the sd card, it did not respond, since it booted from the original firmware and ignored multitool. I also tried using a usb sd card adapter, but same thing. My questions are: what is happening? Did this happen to someone alrealdy? Was it solved? How to solve it? I am almost sure I did the process right, since I already did it to some tv boxes and got good results... I would have attached some log, but don't know if there is one, since the multitool didnt even open. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello, thanks sicxnull for the image. It served me well as I tried it on a tvbox of brand "Tourobox". However the Wi-Fi problem also happened to me and for what I can tell, it's because of lack of compatible drivers for the network module. As said by Devmfc, On my perspective, Bigal Linux would need to identify the network module ( I think it's the one between the PPT and SKhynix that I couldnt identify) and search for the driver corresponding the chipset on /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless. If found, then it should be loaded as a kernel module with "sudo insmod <driver.ko>". After that, if the "wlan0" interface is visible as an output of the command "ip a", then it worked. If the driver can't be found on the path given, maybe the only two possible ways of getting WiFi to work are: 1. Being lucky finding an image file with the driver you just need, or 2. finding the driver on the Internet (some github repo) , compiling it yourself and then loading it as a kernel module (nice and friendly) or recompiling the kernel (very nice, but kinda hard). Nevertheless, I sure wish luck on Bigal Linux journey to thrive upon the problems of his cursed hardware. I will be doing it myself for the Tourobox.
