allwinner h313. can i still install it?
now you have your answer thats not working because not compatible anyway

amlogic, but in reality it is RK322x
how do you know , do you open the box and remove the heatsink ? , maybe after all really a AmLogic maybe?
we seen like sell as amlogic , print on die as rockchip and after all allwinner chip or stupid things like sell as rockchip print as amlogic and really is rockchip older model
please show and tell us more

compatibility issues,
Let's look into the crystal ball, I see something, it could be that something is not right here and someone has problems with a rk322x box. hope you understand this little fun, it would be of course especially with such a time pressure of only a week surprising if we could really solve your problem with such a crystal ball, so let's start here. Describe your box in more detail, which multitool which problem from which point, why this solution not something else and much much more ....

6051p network card.
sorry for late answer
you have to try some LED-Config ( better name GPIO Config) settings inside rk322x-config tool and always reboot after every change,
it should be support by kernel 5.x , else you can try legacy image ( with kernel 3.xx)

The question is absolutely relevant and very welcome.
The answer is quite simple although: for historic reasons, those overlays are called led-conf but actually, during time and studies on the boards, they should be more properly called gpio configs or board configs: they deal with the peculiarities of the specific boards and integrate the "base" device tree.
Thank you ok understandable
vor 5 Stunden schrieb jock:The led-conf dtbs overlays don't necessarily carry the information about the wlan chip: the boards are designed to host several different wifi chips and the wifi chips are in turn designed to be "drop in replaceable".
Wifi chips exchange data with the SoC via SDIO bus, but also have other pins for other essential purposes (power, reference clock, antennas, etc...). One of these pins is the enable pin.
The enable pin turn on and off the wifi chip. It is like a button, which is in turn connected to a SoC GPIO pin that can be controlled by the software: the linux kernel can turn on and off this pin which will turn on and off the wifi chip.
The problem is very simple: most boards use the same SoC GPIO pin to control the enable pin of the chip, but some others use another one, or swap its polarity. You need to tell the kernel which GPIO pin is the right one, otherwise the kernel just can't turn the wifi chip on and, in fact, the wlan0 device does not even appear to the system. The GPIO pin for this functionality is specific to the board design, hence it is described in the led-conf overlay.
As an example, the boards with T066 marking needs such treatment (led-conf4, see here), but also other boards require it (I count at least three different configurations in those overlays, plus the base one).
Using the right led-conf is usually enough to get the wireless appear and work, because the kernel can turn on the wifi chip, poke the SDIO bus for the device id and load the right driver.
In some other cases, there is the need for a supplementary dtb overlay to get full functionality for the wifi chip: rtl8723cs/rtl8703bs is right the case to get also the bluetooth working, because it requires some other bits for complete configuration.
wifi enable and GPIO state is clear for me also the SDIO part , i done some testing with Martin Blumestangl (xdarklight) on AMlogic 805 (nand and he help me with wifi enable , had a rtl8723bs with inverted signial) , but its not clear how a armbianENV can change /switch dtb things
vor 6 Stunden schrieb jock:Normally the rk322x-config script deal with this automatically. You may need to run it a second time after reboot to complete the configuration though, in case in the first run it was unable to detect the wifi/bluetooth chip.
ok that was new for me that script do autodetect and that after config you have do start again the config sometimes

vor 10 Stunden schrieb jock:
right led-conf from rk322x-config
I have a more educational question , if the answer is too long or not appropriate please also PM me
What does the right led-conf from rk322x-config have to do with the wlan chipset pins and why can't we separate them from the LED config ? How can the DTB be changed through the armbianENV.txt or must all information be present and these options are just a switch ?
Can you maybe add in the rk322x config some information about the LED config so that we have a clue which wlan chip is activated (maybe an additional information page in the tool) ?

that a little unusal chip but linux compatible
normally 8703 is part of 8xxxu standart linux libary
but i found also some guys that have a driver at github for building yourself

Hi, I don't know if Android still boot (last time it was in recovery mode). However, the logs showed on terminal app are the same of logs asked by @jock?
@RaptorSDS the difference between stock boot loader speed and new bootloader speed is written here
yes red are UART
please use 3,3V on you ch341 adapter
rx tx should be cross --> , tx form usb to rx from board , and rx from usb to tx from board , GND to GND
you can not break anything with change of Baud rate , try both and you are fine
the text that run automaticlly on UART is the serial log ,
when nothing or only some unreadable thing is show in putty please change baudrate
than copy the text from putty or other tool and post here for jock ,
also ANdroid will produce a log on UART ( with some diffirence)
many of this serial log also in android terminal demsg log
i dont know the usb port order , for multitool over USB the port is normally irrelevant ,some box need normal USB , some the USB otg , some box hasnt the usb otg
-
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

what should look?
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)

rkconfig reports the it as 02e7:9086 and unknown
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 )

Thanks for answering. I think that I have a board with NAND, and therefore I can only install the old kernel on it. Yesterday, during installation, I chose the place "Burn image to flash" and erased the bootloader))), I could not switch to maskrom mode, so I disassembled the prefix and closed the test point and restored the bootloader.
How do I find out what type of memory is on my board?
Here is a photo of my board
And from the multitool menu.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
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

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

But RTL8723as is not 8723bs , you should not mix them .
8723as has definitive a diffirent firmware than bs https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux/+/rtl8xxxu-8188eu/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.h
many of the RTL 8723xx are part of Kernel 5 , it should be detect by linux automaticly with the right firmware/driver combination
have you check the chip by open the box ? maybe its a 8723ds (bs and ds have same format and pinout ) ,8723as has a diffirent board format so its very unusal that this board have another print extra for this 8723as format
