Hello everyone,
I am hoping to get some advice on the possibility of running Armbian on a TV box I have. I understand this is a niche device, and I am new to this process, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Device Information:
Device Type: TV Box
Manufacturer: SkyworthDigital
Model: SK Hailstrom Ref 1325
Board: HPR3E1325_4k
Hardware/Platform: rtd1325
Product: HPR10X
Hardware Details (from system info):
Core Architecture: 4x ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1700MHz
Instruction Set: 64-bit ARMv8-A (32-bit Mode)
Supported ABIs: armeabi-v7a, armeabi
Scaling Governor: schedutil
I have done some preliminary research and learned that official Armbian support for Realtek SoCs is not available. However, I noticed that there is some ongoing community development for the RTD13xx family.
My questions are:
Has anyone had any success with a similar Realtek RTD1325 device?
Would it be possible to adapt an existing build (perhaps one intended for the RTD1319) to work with this hardware? If so, what would be the main challenges (e.g., DTB files, drivers)?
Could someone point me toward the best resources or forum threads for building a custom Armbian image for this kind of Realtek platform?
I have experience with the command line and following technical guides, but I am not a developer. I am prepared for the possibility that this might not be feasible, but I am eager to learn and experiment. I will, of course, proceed with caution regarding the risks (e.g., bricking the device).
Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
Additional Context:
I have the device rooted and can access ADB.
Thank you for moving my post to the appropriate section. I apologize for posting in the wrong area initially. To reiterate my question for this General forum: I have a Skyworth TV box with a Realtek RTD1325. I am looking for any guidance on whether it is possible to run Armbian on this hardware, even experimentally. Has anyone here worked with similar Realtek-based devices, or could someone point me toward resources for building a custom image for the RTD13xx family? I understand this is outside the usual supported hardware, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
