please also show picture of boeard maybe board print name , some R29 boards have diffirent pin setting so ist maybe one of this creepy and non standart boards

When a script is possible than uENV.txt should be the best point , also in thinging of rk322x-config where a question for user can be implement my thought was more that we support Multitool with 2 small xz files extractet and from 24.xx image and 21.01.01 image ( maybe later get update in newer multitool version) , and when he has problem he can use a new item point where the bootloader get write like the script above #!/bin/bash set -e # Path UENV_FILE="/boot/uENV.txt" # read variable out of uENV UPGRADEBOOT=$(grep -Po '(?<=Upgradeboot=)\d' "$UENV_FILE" || true) #or this maybe better UPGRADEBOOT=$(grep -Po '(?<=Upgradeboot=)\d' "$UENV_FILE" || echo "1") # Proof, Upgradeboot=0 if [ "$UPGRADEBOOT" -eq 0 ]; then echo "Upgradeboot is deactive, Installation abort." >&2 exit 1 fi preinstall script

thats maybe a point which be can handle by multitool where the user has a option point (choose) , when have problem be more compatible (perfomance reduce) optee , when perfomance (with my incompatiple eg power-off ) flash TrustOS maybe with a hint that after a apt-Upgrade procedure has to renew

When we now see thats is a moreover need part maybe it is also a good idea to integrate a point in Multitool where a this 2MB part is flash to emmc or nand to replace the bootloader from normal Armbian image

thats look like a power or thermal problem maybe , did you managed to try (sdcard or usb) with cpu-stability to overlays= line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt or verbosity=7 and look in the Serial log maybe still always same step where it break hope you have a serial adapter at the box

but thats tooo much too much thermal stress for chip and so on .... also the maskrom mode is more to get into SD/USB boot when you have a close bootloader or when you need to flash from pc , there you short that pin shortly only to say cpu internal loader use alternate drive , you have to release the short direct after boot to use the emmc and format it please look if you can boot still from usb/sd card , please dont use usb sdcard reader only direkt sd card

HI @audio kees first of all do you have also Ram chips at underside of the board , else i would say that you have a eMCP ( emmc + ram combination) , eMCP are now possible with multitool and armbian but sometimes instable outside android for the brick , you dont need the clock under the chip , also possible to GND the clock at a resistor or test point , sometimes also at the pad for NAND on right side of your picture is possible but self with brick memory a boot from SD-Card or USB should always possible

yes when LAN port work for you and the box get a ip adress its now possible to ssh do you have a usb cale keyboard attached to the tv box , you have to hit enter/space to except the license ( some wired and some wireless keyboard dont work under linux because they need some usb driver but that rare )

i can share a version 15.06.2021 and 17.03.2022 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HR_wvgg6L5nkInjLSWeqi7eWsAzC0qlQ?usp=sharing

@Jaisere to find the image look at first post below install SD-Casrd you find the link to Jock archive Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_Rk322x-box_focal_legacy_4.4.194_xfce_desktop.img.xz

@k405@Bert Kortenbach also looking on picture its maybe not a emmc, more like a eMCP (emmc and DDr Ram in one chip) when looking at wifi part looks like a part of iphone chipset and not as a realtek of broadcom module more more of cheap things patch together , most times you dont know when ist maybe recyle part or obsolete or over aged part of the shelf

@Benedito Portela thank you for information but n3o talk about DVI to HDMI that is a passiv , pinout adapter DVI-I is compatible to HDMI direct -> with and without 5V as i know

in first first part --> at ddr and Board model U-Boot 2021.04-armbian (Aug 08 2021 - 18:00:55 +0200)

but this isnt the kernel , that is the armbian base system update . my knowladge that kernel never get update at non offizial Armbain device with apt-upgrade , ever only the base system in some range also than we have the package with header linux-header-rk322x_23.x.x..... the new kernel only with new compile complete image files last year or maybe begin of 2023 i update header without base system this also break one box

goggle first LIRC point , there are maybe some other when you need ffmpegs , video , you should more consiter Libreelec or CoreElec or something that is optimsie
