yes every build that was compile has a minimal version that is the server one , please search for that at this post or github

but that a good sign that the box get a ip address by dhcp , than its online , do you use the latest one from first page or my older ones from google drive ( 2023 and befor dont have ssh active) there should be no diffirent mac and ip address because they use same hardware

android 8.1 possible but 10 i thing its a fake 7.1 , Android mostly only poor patch together for exact one box i have many bad exp with port a android (also from same main cpu) to another box all android and linux are config by dtb files , there are the information for kernel wich memory and voltage and many other stuff , ( this box have 3 diffirent memory system nand flash, emmc and eMCP flash) so a wrong dtb could be a non start box also in last time many box have problems with hdmi port an start without display but its than maybe possible to start ssh from network lan port of this box maybe also fake rk3228 cpu you tool also report a s905w chip , we have see sold as h6 ,print as amlogic at android and inside a motorola cpu

thats weird because ssv6051 is a know hardware for this box , when no led-config work than we need a dtb/dtbo of orginal android from this box else, maybe you can try LibreElec and look if is found there than we have idee whats wrong --> or maybe a bad chip or fake chip

Dear Esteban Did you try the LED-Config settings , like we multiple times tell that led-config also switch Wifi-enable pin to diffirent settings or ports , be aware that there are so many rk322x box and other box around , with so many cheap and creepy hardware also fake and misleading prints on chip and reycling hardware

do you try the diffirent LED-Config in rk322x-config tool ? there are also change WLAN enable pins maybe one work

like multitool burn it with image writer direkt the armbian.img to sd card and ok , after first boot it resize automatic to full card , like also multitool do

@Mr-TNTplease can you send some picture of board , there are 2 boards with problem first wherer the right LED-Config has to been set with ssh after flash per LAN , the secound has a close bootloader which need a diffirent OPTEE area wich need to be flash seperatly overall normaly when sd-card boot work than later it should also boot from that , yyou can also flash armbian direct to sdcard and also try to boot from sdcard maybe as short term solution

thank you for more info in orginal post , please tell us wich LED config do you use ( LED config also determing wich Enable Pins used example wifi enable) also trl870+ also not common one did other ubuntu or debian are support rtl870+

understand but fake and cheap is always a topic , we have story about fake the fake , cpu --> like sell as amlogic , report as rockchip , label as motorola and inside it was a rk3229 memory micron chp id that even micron dont know wifi chips from iphone that was reused maybe you flash a rk322x bootloader and its old rk30xx chip or newer rk33xx chip ( maybe thats why uboot from 2024

and now ?? read the glasball maybe some information would be nice also rtl870+ is usb ? because normaly this box has cheap old wlan modules

there is no 4GB version of rk3228 you mean 4giB or 1GB Ram because of uboot from 2024 maybe still a closed bootloader , normally every bricked box still boot from usb or sdcard ( like on page one there is no real soft brick , only hard brick of memory chip fail)

why this , i thing most of usb wifi adapter ( WIFI N or AC at 2.4GHZ ) are realtek 81xx or some RTK88xx , that are good support and already inside this armbian ,also some Broadcom USB things . please be arware most of 5GHZ WIFI AC ( dual Mode) are not as good supported at linux

normally all are compatible but there are no 3228H , there is 3328A and 3228B and 3229 (all same ) but like we say always there are so many creepy box outside with so many variant hardware and HW quality there are always some issue . you can follow the tutorials

two methods , 1. boot image first than automatic resize to bigger size ( most of the drive) , than put your image on card 2. use the compressed image of armbian on the sd card , the multotool also can use zip and tar and tar.xz and tar.gz
