@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

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

wirte the armbian image to SD Card and than insert and start , than it should boot from SD card like the multitool
 
i had nowadays 4 of this box, one old AMlogic s802 ( over 5 years in use with armbian scan and printserver) ) 1 xrk322x that work out of the box with armbian , one rk322x with resolder wifi from wired china chip to rtl8723ds , and now a rk3328 with android ( sadly sd card is on wrong sdio port)

BCM433x are normally good supported , do have rk322x-config and setup the right led config its help also with wifi enable signal
 

this looking not as rk322x , i thing thats another main chip like rk328x or newer  , we see some box that boot multitool without rk322x
 

Please can you be more clear did armbian boot befor without hdmi but with wifi ?
or only android had wifi ?
 
did you have a bootlog or dmesg with
dmesg | grep 8723 or
dmesg | sdio ; maybe dmesg | grep - i 8723
 
 
if this is positiv than only a driver issue , else also DTS/DTB maybe dont activate the wifi sdio

It looks to me way too complex from the maintenance point of view: users may create unwanted mixtures installing things from the multitool over already installed systems (for example 24.02 bootloader on an older armbian release); and also when armbian advances I have to keep the multitool binaries updated as well. It is already very tiring keeping the thing aligned against mainline kernel on every release I don't want to add another burden.
 
One thing that solves all the boot problems is to reintroduce the OPTEE trust os: it surely does not unwanted things in the background, but then we lose some useful features.
Otherwise I would keep the "manual" procedure for the time being for the problematic boards, until I get the hands on one of them and can study the issue with detail, or some bright idea pops out.
 
 

@Tiago Nogueira

You asked an info, but let me make a question to you:

did you read the whole thread ???

Or just you came in with this question " never made before" ? 😅

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 )

@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
 

@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
 

@n3o  As a moderator of these forums, I have been watching your postings.  You are abusing these forums and the people that contribute to them.  (Everyone, especially @RaptorSDS and @jock have been very willing to invest a lot of time to help you)   However, repeatedly you have been given specific information that you ignore, been given advise that you ignore and then you come back with more and more questions.  There are very limited people resources working on Armbian (and even less with TV boxes).  You alone are consuming way more developer time than any one individual has the right to receive.  This is open source, and therefore users are needed to contribute as much as they consume in resources from the community in order for this to work.  This is not a school where you can come to be taught how everything works, demanding the attention of everyone else to teach you. 
 
Your latest questions are now venturing into very deep and difficult areas of code (none of which is expected to work on these TV boxes as has been mentioned to you).  If you want to continue down the path you are going, you first need to become an expert at these topics on known working platforms, then you can try to apply that expertise on TV boxes.  You may not realize it, but the questions you are asking, are essentially asking for weeks if not months of developer help to get working, if it is at all possible.
 

there are some tools for linux and IR on this box it can be became complicate because GPIO and DTB and tools, relearn remote   , so on .............  
when you are lucky the right setting are already in dtb and the tool recognise the IR comannd than you need to relearn the remote inside the tool
 
thats not topic of this board and dont relatet to rk322x , maybe smbv2 vs smbv1 , anyonmus account etc ..... please ask in the right place
