Hi there,
I'm currently working on installing armbian onto my h96 max tv box (labelled as an rk3318 externally and in software, but the internal board is marked as an rk3328), and like many others here, I am having difficulty getting hdmi to work using the rk3318 build found at https://github.com/armbian/community/releases.
I can access and control the box over ssh either over ethernet or wifi once configured, however I definitely need functional hdmi output for the use case of this device. The hdmi output works perfectly fine in both the bootloader, the stock android OS, and the bootable multitool, but once armbian boots, I completely lose hdmi signal on a standard 1080p monitor. My linux experience is intermediate at best (I daily drive Mint and am not very familiar with in-depth hardware configuration like armbian requires), so I am looking for assistance with a few things:
I'd like to confirm that I am indeed meant to use the rk3318 build and not the rk3328 one, as while both the device case and the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo claim that this device has an rk3318, the marking on the board states it is an rk3328. I would rather not remove the heatsink to check the chip's markings directly, as I doubt that I have the means to reattach the heatsink once it is removed. If there is another recommended build that has working hdmi for this device or would perform better, please let me know.
When/if I am on the right image/build for this device, I unfortunately do not have much knowledge on how hdmi would be enabled/initialised. I have seen others in this thread mentioning doing so, but i cannot find any mention of how this is done.
Assuming hdmi is eventually functional, I did have a look through the different options in rk3318-config and armbian-config, but I am unsure how to best use the information printed on the board to select the optimal options in these tools for my system. The wifi did work without needing to select anything special, which is good. I did not test bluetooth or notice the front LED panel working at all, though.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide, and thanks to Jock for porting this neat little distro to this hardware. It's been fun to tinker around with so far.
Attached are images of the board and label, and I can provide any other images or output of commands if further information is needed.
