@Fit Girl The image available here works from emmc. I could not test this with SD card. Please be informed that there is no HDMI display post boot. You have to find out the IP address from your DHCP Server/Router once the box got booted. Post boot you are working on a blind box with command lines. It is working for me though without much issues so far.

I am trying to enable the VFD display to show the current time. This board came with AiP1628 chip, will be going the posts to make it working. If you got it already working then kindly share the info. 🙂

@davem, I have similar X88 Pro TV box clone which got "X88PRO-RK3566-4D32-V2.1" written on the PCB. I was struggling to boot the system using SD card since the Android image that came with the box was not allowing. Thanks for sharing about the upgrade tool and modified x96x6.dtb. Without your posts I could not made it to work. I got "Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.792_Rk3566-box-demo_trixie_current_6.18.24_minimal.img.xz" successfully writte and booted. Later I have installed KDE based Desktop as well on 64GB Micro SD card. My USB 3.0 (the blue one) is somehow not working, Since I have a USB hub its not a deal breaker. Following are working properly as of now. Summary: Bluetooth - Working On Board LAN - 1000Mbps - Working. WiFI - connected to 2.4 Ghz network - Working. HDMI Display - Working. I have not test HDMI audio though. Sound - No 3.5mm Analog jack in this model. However the sound is working via Bluetooth head phone and Speaker with USB input/power. USB 2.0 - Connected Keyboard, mouse and speaker via USB 2.0 Hub - Working. USB 3.0 - This works fine when we boot in Android - Not working. Toss Link - Though the box got a port in the back, I don't have any device that can be connected - Not Tested. Note: I have windows 11 system as my desktop PC. I could not edit the Micro SD card created using BalenaEtcher. I had to use Ubuntu system in order to prepare the SD card and to edit the boot/armbianEnv.txt with fdtfile=rockchip/rk3566-box-X88PRO20.dtb

@fensoft I am using your current image 3.0.0_r2 in H96 Max M1 with USB Hub + USB to Ethernet adapter successfully. Its really energy efficient solution which can run 24 x 7 without costing much. However I am trying to set this up on a dq08 box with 4 GB/64 GB Model. I am able to install dq08_ha_supervised_3.0.0_r2.zip without any issue. However due to recent support changes from the application, I am unable to continue further with the setup. I tried to install docker version to set this up but getting error "invalid argument: in-kernel BTF is malformed (1 line(s) omitted)". Not seeing much on this error in the interwebs but there are suggestions that this could be due to old kernels/. Is there a way we can update this kernel and OS to Armbian Trixie or will it brick the dq08? Have you got a chance to look at the updated installer image?

@DaBo Thanks for sharing this. Are you able to run Armbian on this? Is LAN, HDMI, etc working fine on this?

Hi, Thanks for sharing details about the Armbian on x88 Pro and your DIY Cooling Solution. Really useful. May I know what is the name of the image that you have used for this setup from https://www.armbian.com/station-m2/. I tried the recent and archived images. Post burning to SD card, the box is not booting with any of the image.

Armbian Version: 6.12.56-current-rockchip64 TV Box: I have same board that is mentioned at this post. Issue: using the .dts mentioned in the above link I am able to see the clock with blinking separator. However I am not seeing the disk activity or LAN connections icon. If I am using devicetree changed to rk1188-box-led-conf-5, I can see the disk blinking icon and LAN connection, however the clock is not visible. Is there anyway I can get the clock as well the icons? Can you share the steps or the post that has the solution to this?

@Amaliacan you please share the devfmc and armbian image version names/link that you have used to make the box booting? Is sound, wired and wireless networks working for you in this approach? I have a x96 x4 box with S905x4 chipset 4/64 GB model. I am trying to load Armbian. So far Devfmc version boots, network is also working. I am unable to boot into Armbian of any version.
