Hi,
I need help identifying the Maskrom/eMMC short points for an RK3528 TV box.
Device:
- TV box sold as H20 Pro
- SoC confirmed as Rockchip RK3528
- Board marking: M16-R6B-L3-V1.0-260121
- RAM detected in Linux: 963 MiB
- eMMC detected in Linux: 7.83 GB / 7.30 GiB
- eMMC name from Linux: P1J95K
- eMMC CID: fe014e50314a39354b12739109744200
What happened:
- The box originally booted Android from eMMC.
- Armbian booted successfully from SD using a customized joilg/x88pro-based image.
- Later I wrote U-Boot/idbloader to eMMC:
- idbloader.img at sector 64
- u-boot.itb at sector 16384
- After reboot, the board no longer boots from SD or eMMC.
- LED stays red.
- No HDMI output.
- No Ethernet link/activity.
- RKDevTool on Windows shows "No Devices Found".
Recovery attempts:
- Tried the reset/recovery button behind the AV/P2 jack while connecting power and USB.
- Tried both USB ports.
- Tried RKDevTool v2.86 with Rockchip drivers installed.
- No Loader or Maskrom device appears.
- Tried UART pads marked GND/TX/RX using ESP32-C3 as bridge, but output is not readable.
Question:
Can anyone identify the eMMC Maskrom short point for this board?
I need to force RK3528 into Maskrom mode so I can restore the first bootloader area of the eMMC.
