Issue booting Multitool on RK322x Box (Kingston eMCP) - Red IR Light Only
Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you for this incredible project. Bringing new life to these generic boxes is vital work.
I am struggling to boot the Multitool on an "RPC Plus" TV Box. Here are my hardware specs and the steps I’ve taken so far:
Hardware Specs:
SoC: Rockchip RK3229.
Storage/RAM: 8GB Kingston eMCP (Chip ID: O8EMCP08-ELSCV100).
SD Card: 16GB Lexar microSD (Class 10).
Board LEDs: POWER, NET, and IR.
Since the official download links for the Multitool are currently down (I get a 404 error idk why), I had to compile it myself on a Debian machine using the https://github.com/paolosabatino/armbian-build?tab=readme-ov-file repo and the ./create_image.sh rk322x script. I flashed the 500MB image to a 16GB Lexar card using BalenaEtcher and placed the Armbian minimal forky (6.18.7) image inside the /images folder (file name Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.357_Rk322x-box_forky_current_6.18.7_minimal.img.xz).
The problem is that the box just won't boot from the SD card. When I hold the reset button and plug the power, the only thing I get is a static red light on the IR LED—no HDMI signal, no activity on the Power or Net LEDs, nothing. Android still boots fine if I pull the card out, so the hardware is okay, but it seems the boot process is hanging.
I've tried both the reset and update buttons with different timings but no luck so far. I’m attaching pictures of the board and the chip. Any help to get this thing past the red light would be great. I'm putting the pictures of the board here in case it helps.
Thanks!
