Hi N3O i think there a missunderstanding both are right it depends on what you want the real first boot loader talk at 1.5M than the UART get change by the bootloader from NAND or SD card or android to 115200 you only need to UART -> UART-USB-> USB of windowsPC or linux and a tool like Putty or Kitty you dont need connect UART back to box or male male cable for normal Logs the male male cable only for hard flash new bootloader or recovery with another PC with a rockchip tool

last picture right below corner 8 or B JG22 .....MW or NW.... . chip please google that this should be the flash memory

hi eMCP is RAM and Flash on one Chip most time , --> when you have only one big chip beside the CPU NAND and eMMC is more tricky but its look the first picture , with the not solder Area ist the place for NAND ( often the NAND ships have many pins on both oposide ends) to be really sure please look at the big ship below the AMS1117 power regulator some hint the 4 smaller chip are the RAM (on top and below board)

@fangis do yo have link for a manual / instruction for install JWM or Openbox+tint2 i have not much experience when the desktop not already preinstall and preconfig at startup last time i install desktop without preinstall ( Dietpi and xfce ) all text and all symbol where missing . Thats was not a good experiance .

i have only a datasheet of later S9082 , maybe with some google you could also find S9012 . RTL8723BS should be easy finding . Most of this addon bords have same layout only some pins like EN (enable) my be variate in the beavior but not position good price on ali ( at my time is was 10€ without shipping only by a coupon it was affordable (around 3€ inklude shipping) User-Manual-3209392.pdf

thats a clone of realtek with name S9012P , i had also a box with a similar clone . Its close source and the Manufacture has no real linux driver my solution was reflow/resolder a realtek RTL8723 DS/BS from ali... its pin and pin behavior compatible , but without a proper driver the AP S9012P is useless in linux

@Max Sterg but i could be more stupid like picture of handymenny , when china store also fake the print o chip ( when thats true )

I would say EMCP because on left ro right i see wifi chip ; empty Memory chip space ; the Rk322x ;one Memory chip thats only one memory chip on upper right corner that maybe EMCP (combined RAM and ROM chip) please look at this chip and google it

@Max Sterg there are two ways first way : put the linux image as compress file on the multitool or secound way: first boot multitool , than the partionion get resize to around 2 till 4 gig and than put the compress or unzip files on the multitool @chakatun i got something similar when i start armbian with nand option from rk322x-config tool --> than initram did not know where to start from but i have nand space or maybe you have one of the new emcp memory (RAM and ROM on same chip) than its difficult to boot from internal space

@jock @Max Sterg thats correct the first time the image only occupied some GigaByte , after first run is enlarge . But you you can also put , after burn the sd card , the images as a compressed file on it (tar.zx or something like that) the multitool can decompress this file on the fly ( at the moment this tool burn the image to the box) the one gig is enough for that desktop image

where did android shows this ? , the normal view under settings is easy to manipulate , also some tools like cpu-z sometimes show wrong numbers .

i thing its a missing driver/modul , you should search on github for one and than "make" and "install" the driver because usb had recognize the right device most Armbian build are very short in the addon package to be small in size and many funktion can be add later

Please for S805 use this thread

Thank you for this Information i Hope many more do good stuff to this box and

your wrong the minimal are the headless variant = that is server like also the dtb is very compatible to all rk322x board , you can use the rk322x-config in bash for your special hardware after first start ( like nand and emmc or ddr2 or ddr3 )

Hello Group some month ago i bought a secound rk3229 box but with a stupid SV9082c wifi chip that is not supported by linux i finally get hands on a rtl8723bs chip from china and succesfully swap the wifi modul . But the the china store mislabel the product and i got a rtl8723ds . fortunately IWFINGER had a driver for this and i succesful build the kernel module and wifi now works . is it possible to insert/activate the rtl8723ds driver in next build of rk322x ? for the kernel module i had to Update the box there i got a message that some driver missing please can you check that @jock

you can rewrite linux again wothout android , done this befor and all fine for me

yes because S812 and S805 are identicial , you can use same image only dtb has to be the right one many label as S8xx

look at this thread somewhere are the yandisk link normally nand install was not possible because no nand driver in the old builds, impressive if you did it why not test the new image with 5.xx kernel also RTL8189 should maybe now work --> which Android One (11.x 9.x 8.x...) ? Never saw someone do this because android 4.4 was last build for S805 , this why android one had no driver for this box

your secound dtc string is wrong from dts to dtb -I = input type you have dtb should dts -O = output type you have dts should dtb -o = output file = ok also odroid use realtek LAN but many HDMI CRC and HDMI i2c ODROID C1 source file mxq use internal(amlogic) LAN and standart HDMI output MXQ source file i thing your box need also the HDMI Communication CRC and i2c pins to work

How about other dtb files from armbian 21.02.0 any other with display , its more easy to look at dtb files from same Kernel. dtb files from 3.10.0 to 5.10 are more difference -->that why there are not compatible .

ok thank you , looks also bad supported --> ssv6051p is maybe a big brother of 6030p i found some coreElec information and some datasheet from icomm (iottech) they force ssv6051p driver for 6030p Question is the SSV6051p and the patch also inside the rk322x images ssv6xxx-aml-003-force-SSV6051P-when-SSV6030P-is-detected.patch

Hy Group another topic maybe someone can point in the right direction my box has a SCL 9082 Wifi chip , this chip is bad supported . i got hands on an SV6030P wifi modul , pinout is idientical --> how good is this chip supportet at linux ?

this is still a beta for this tv-box. yes when boot from sd-card you should edit uEnv.txt with right dtb file, but it could happen that none of the dtb work. if this happen, than please try one of the older Armbian S812 Version 5.xx with Kernel 3.10.xxx there is a higher chance that one dtb is correct for your box. be aware the dtb files not changeable between 5.xx Kernel and 3.10.xx Kernel

what do you see ? what do mean resolve error ? you do not need toothpick , you do not need recovery , only insert SD-Card and start the box befor patch bootloader-->internal memory-->android after patch without sd-card bootloader-->sd-card-->usb-->internal memory-->android or with sd-card bootloader-->sdcard-->debian
