RaptorSDS

on fnlink webpage are only some for sdio and BT4 option http://www.fn-link.com/product_list.html?designTemplateId=1&t=1566202507675&isPreview=true#w_common_text-1563534094486 it could be a rt8723BS clone or the SV6158 for RT8723BS , blacklist dhd than modprob 8723bs (in modules, because you have to restart) on old kernel should be do the trick

yes maybe with cpu-z , sometimes from mac-address sometimes its also the tv that make overscan or underscan or like samsung they call it "zoom" only limit controll to hdmi maybe uenv.txt there possible to set to 720p but i cannot say that exactly because most of the time i use headless

first not root the dtb.img on /boot/ ( the fat32 500mb partition) on old right rename your dtb to dtb.img on newer image like armbian 20.01 edit uenv.txt

i though you use the internal Wifi already i cannot help witch external adapter to internal adapter you have to 3 part first dtb must set wifi to activate secound dtb must have the right pins in wifi definition also the right state of pins (High ,Low, low pull down etc) third the wifi driver have to be inside the image ( there are 3 or 4 diffirent adapter RT8723BS ,AP6220 and 1 or 2 others)

your box has spi boot most of the box have emmc / nand boot but also spi is possible

Yes that normal for new user (spam protection) You should start with the older ones with 3.10.108 kernel this are most compatible because there are near android kernel but i do not know how to extract bootloader or uboot from image direct to ROM chip thats the first time i read that this box have a seperate bootloader chip , normal all should be on the emmc/nand chip (boot / uboot, recovery, system,ext4)

thanks for info , i need some days because weekend get very busy , i try to get work on dtb on tuesday

wow very short memory when you can boot from sdcard than a big step was finished i have 3 diffirent box that run 24x7 in my home get a new sd-card burn the armbian image on it with old kernel (3.xx) than copy and rename your dtb from boot/dtb to dtb.img on /boot with new kernel (5.xx) only rdit uEnv.txt and change there the name of dtb ( you have to test which dtb are work best with your box) than boot and set up user password and tools ( you can use armbian-config for standart config like language wlan keyboard)

not this one's , mostly all are for Usb and SD-Card. you can try but than you have to with manually edit some files and uboot and .... (my box run now 4-5years with sd-card without problem) be aware this box are get deep brick with wrong uboot on emmc/nand there is no maskrom mode or any restore function in uboot

but weird that both usb and sdcard produce errors maybe also its some pin definition error from hdmi wich also produce error on memory or IO ports Problem at the moment we havent a lead system programmer for this box , balbes the maintainer of s805/S812 switch to rockchip system if you tell witch dtb you use i can maybe change some setting to disable HDMI complete but i can only change a small amount of dtb not all

@armbian-mxq do you use the menson8b-mxq.dtb from 3.xx kernel on the 5.xx kernel ? -> thats didn`t work because kernel5 use some diffirent pin descriptions. also many dtb was rewriten for kernel 5.xx thats why maybe hdmi did not work. there could be some sd-card error because the SD-card driver was rewriten on kernel5 because of non-free code in the old sd-card driver. But than its shoulde be only high speed or low speed sd-card or non detect BUT that a filesystem was fine than readonly than fine -> this looks more like programm error not a driver issue do you use apt-upgrade as normal user or root user ? or Is there another apt-upgrade thread at the same time?

more like 8 Gbit or ram =1Gbyte ram ; or they have ram and rom swap or like some box its only fake advertise please show the link to example

If you use the newer Image 20.xx ( Kernel 5.xx) you have to edit uEnv , your rename of dtb.img is wrong ! also bionic i thing need kernel 4.xx and newer

@truonggiang152 i think its not possible to have docker in Armbian 5.67 because this has only a 3.10.108 Kernel . This Kernel was not and is not compatible to docker

@Nabiloo on 5.77 and 5.44 there should be only two m8s dtb files , your choice is only small. normally a there is a standard dtb ( i thing a mxii one) already on boot folder as dtb.img, on 3.10.108 Kernel image you have to copy and rename your dtb to dtb.img on boot folder some box still with right dtb have the HDMI plug problem , there was a patch with a HDMI plug dongle without cable

@AzuriAdore thanks for your work

@Alex83 be aware S812 is no rk3229 you can deep brik this device , Amlogic has no fallback to sd card when internal memory fail or boot loader missing only real way is to get into boot loader and install aml_autoscript.zip than you get multiboot and can use sdcard as linux boot drive

ricoh rn5t618m is the power managment IC , if this is your main error than also a image can not help you its look like you found the startup problem if the power IC get wrong settings from image maybe a linux can help When you get multiboot activate you can boot from SD or USB , you have not to fear to brick because orginal android is not touched ( get a orginal image is hard to find because of the varity of the box ) maybe someone else can jump in and have more ideas about the thermal problems

i do not know if there will be a new build because balbes150 has stop working on this box , but on kernel GIT and linx GIT there still some person who fix things maybe you have to ask there.

please look at page 33 @jock and a @gnusmag45 have this topic about the JWA60 memory its a eMCP Memory https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12656-csc-armbian-for-rk322x-tv-boxes/?do=findComment&comment=124401

i have a backup of my android 6 (multiboot) but i do not had extract the dtb from Android -> some amazon reseller are als sold this box with android 8 ( but i have not found any update rom from android 6 to android 8 ) thats the one from me android 6 https://www.amazon.de/Neueste-Leelbox-Q2-Android-unterstützt-Schwarz/dp/B074PX2T9R same box with android 8 https://www.amazon.de/Leelbox-Android-Volles-H-265-Version/dp/B07PHK9N31 last website from leelbox(i do not now if this original leelbox website , leelbox-tech is close ) https://www.leelbox.blog/tag/firmware-update/ some android 7.1 https://www.leelbox.blog/2018/05/23/prime-video-not-working-try-to-update-firmware-for-leelbox-rk-chip-android-7-1-tv-box-via-pc/

@jock its look like my Leelbox Q2 board in many ways , but my has AP6255 and the front LCD clock display https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12656-csc-armbian-for-rk322x-tv-boxes/?do=findComment&comment=123806

short goog le and i found OMV has its own network-manager , all settings in interfaces will be ignore you have to set all network things inside OMV https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/23034-network-manager/&postID=176055

hi and welcome when Armbian 5.67 boot fine , multiboot is active. for Armbian later 19.xx than you have to edit path and filename inside ambianEnv.txt. you do not not need copy and rename

for 1 - ok only nand thats ok for 2 - please ignore i did not know multitool can handle gzip/XZ/tar and that the fat partition should be bigger ( its was maybe a bug that my sdcard had only 800mb fat partition) for 3 - i work most of the time in CLI so "nano" it what i know feel free to use "vi" , thats my personal thought to change order and modifcate armbianEnv.txt direct after "rk322x-config"
