Hey Jock, Thanks again for your great response and of course to you and @fabiobassato your great and wonderful work to get finnaly a use case for this trash boxes! I'm really thankful for this. I'll try your suggestions within the next couple of days, but just wanna add some more information. I have an permanent ping within 2 devices to keep the wifi busy, but now I noticed that from my smartphone there is no constant ping connection and then I only get a connection again if I send from V88 mini 4k a ping to my internal smartphone address... So it seems like it could also be some ip-layer or firewall topic. I haven't installed any ufw or other firewall. So I guess there should be no firewall working at the moment... Also I tried again a Iperf3 localhost performance test. The result is ~630 Mbit/s. Compared to an orange Pi PC it has 2,5 Gbit/s. Both devices have 4 cores with around 1,4GHz. Also if you look into htop I see 4 cores working on both devices, but in rk3229 there is just one time 1x1,4 GHz core in yellow shown as there are 4x1,4 GHz in Orange PI PC. So I think performance on rk3229 seems still pretty poor... Hey guys, thanks again for your great improvements and very helpful answers. @fabiobassasorry, I don't wanna bother you and yes you comment this wifi issues already. It was not meant of me to complain about your very good development! Thanks very much again to give us any possibility to use armbian on these devices. @jock yes, I would love to brick my device again and recover it in mask mode. I have that male to male cable and windows and Ubuntu machines... You just need to be a bit detailed about backing up stuff and recovery. I did an recovery with multitool on SD before I flashed the first time armbian into nand. Maybe the ram timing issues are also some reasons why my ip stack is so crappie... Unfortunately the device looses it's connection after a while and I also saw some kernel panic on my TV (connected via hdmi)... I also thought maybe the power supply is to weak or something like that... But anyway to double ram speed sounds pretty interesting and maybe I can use an USB wifi. Most importantly for me is to be able to reboot the device... That's really annoying if that's not possible. So maybe you can give me some instructions on how to get a better bootloader. My hardware is also shown on my armbianmonitor - u output link in my post above. I think it has ddr3 ram in my device. Should I post some hardware pictures of my board?

Hey @jock it has been a while, but now I found time again to reinstall completely. Actually after a fresh install of armbian 21.02.3 the first start worked and I was able to reactivate wifi ssv6051 again. Unfortunately there is still no possible reboot. So if device needs a reboot I need to unplug and plug in the power adapter and it's impossible for remote task... So after I did the Rk322x-config I got trouble to reboot into xserver. The second reboot went into the desktop, but after a few seconds the server crashed, before activated wifi it stayed stable in desktop... Anyway I just want a console server, but didn't find a minimal Ubuntu version, so installed the desktop version and disabled it in armbian-config. So long story, short question... If there is no wifi traffic the device looses reachability... So I thought device hung, but after I checked again I saw if I send a ping again to the ip of my requesting device there is a connection possible again. So for me I get the feeling there is some mess with energy savings or similar stuff ongoing with my rk3229 V88 mini 4k device. Maybe you can help me with reboot and unreachability from remote devices... I already changed power supply, but didn't get a better situation... I tried also a new performance test. With iperf3 I get around 32 Mbit/s up and down with wifi@72Mbit/s. http://ix.io/2SRB

Try to follow this steps and ask there for S905 support Link to discussion about S905 devices

Hi guys, i have been off for a while and restartet my Scishion V88 Mini 4K Project again. In these devices there is a rk3229 chipset with ssv6051p wireless. I installed already a while ago the legacy kernel into NAND-Flash. After using rk3229-config which is really nice nowadays, thanks again to @fabiobassa, I think everything is fine, but there are still two topics. When I use armbian-config there are networks around me when I try to use wifi and wifi already worked with former images. Then I try to connect and it asks for password. After entering the password there is nothing and after a while there is the information that die accespoint is not available or around... very strange... - So I am not able to connect via wifi. It's possible to use eth0, but with or without connected ethernetcable the start takes around 10 Minutes and it always stops for 5 minutes when it tries to bring network interfaces up. So there seems to be a problem. Also the reboot is still not working. Any recommendations or suggestions to get wifi back to work? - i updated to latest version via ethernet cable. So at the moment it works with Armbian 20.11.6 focal. _ _________ ____ _ _ __| | _|___ /___ \|___ \__ __ | |__ _____ __ | '__| |/ / |_ \ __) | __) \ \/ /____| '_ \ / _ \ \/ / | | | < ___) / __/ / __/ > <_____| |_) | (_) > < |_| |_|\_\____/_____|_____/_/\_\ |_.__/ \___/_/\_\ Welcome to Armbian 20.11.6 Focal with Linux 4.4.194-rk322x No end-user support: community creations System load: 153% Up time: 34 min Memory usage: 7% of 994M IP: 192.168.178.188 CPU temp: 74°C Usage of /: 15% of 7.0G [ General system configuration (beta): armbian-config ] Last login: Thu Jan 21 00:39:54 2021 from 192.168.178.168 root@rk322x-box:~# iwconfig wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off sit0 no wireless extensions. dummy0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. root@rk322x-box:~#

Hi guys, I try to reinstall my tvheadend, but unfortunately it always tells me suddenly some depencies which I can't solve. libhdhomerun4 (>= 20200521) But it's installed and in Buster stable only available: libhdhomerun4:armhf (20180327-1) When i try to install it manuelly, then there is the next depency to libc-bin and so on... a never ending story. Actually tvheadend worked already quite well, but suddenly it stopped working. So I thought maybe it's the best idea to reinstall tvheadend. And now there is even bigger trouble.

Hey guys, I stock with my device again. The wifi doesn't work as it seems and so I have no network connection anymore. If I connect it to the TV and plug a keyboard in I see there are pronlems with Failed to start Raise network interfaces. If I login and see the armbian-config I can still discover all networks around. When I try to connect it shows the error message Connection... Could not activate connection: Activation failed: The Wi-Fi network could not be found So unfortunately I can't copy now dmesg or log files without the network interface. Any suggestions how to activate the wifi again? I use armbian 20.08.7 with legacy kernel 4.4.194-rk322x Update: I completely deleted the content of /etc/network/interfaces and all wifi access point information im armbian-config menu. After a reboot and try to book into my access point it worked.... Strange... I upgraded everything, but still no reboot possible with NAND installation. Also I noticed during an new Iperf3-test with the line Iperf3 -c localhost during the test watching htop from another machine that only 2 of the 4 cores are raising to 100% and the other 2 are around 5-8%, so I guess the multicore using doesn't work so well like on other devices at the moment... Maximum measurements are again ~640 Mbit/s.

I would also love to know where we continue our very constructive discussions? I think the project shouldn't die because of a closing thread...

@Igor: Hey Igor, I read you wanted to implement the bluetooth and wifi directly into the armbian-images for supported M2plus. How did this go on and what is the actual state at the moment? I use the newest image with kernel 5.8.x Armbian 20.08.13, but there is still no wifi or bluetooth found within armbian-config tool.

Hi guys, I searched for an answer but couldn't find a working one. Most answers from 2017 and it's not possible to answer there.

That's exactly what also happens with my V88 Mini 4k Box. To say what's best you need to define what you wanna do. Rk3228 is much more powerful of it's hardware than rk3229 products. I Can't tell you what's the difference between rk3228a and rk3228b. I can tell you that I own a device Alfawise Z28 Pro which has 1000Mbit/s LAN and wifi ac with 5GHz and USB 3.0. Unfortunately not im use because im not sure if I can use the Z28 images from a similar box. Anyway I think rk3229 has no USB3. 0 and 1000Mbit/s ETH support and maybe also no wifi ac. But with wifi I am not sure. Big + point for rk3229 was at least the price. They were the cheapest of the cheap china crap... I'm still not sure if we could use it for wifi speaker projects or multiroom music if you combine it with some cheap Bluetooth or old speakers laying around in the corners. My developer feeling are more and more, we try to develop what Amazon already did or what capable developers here could do with headaches. They wanna safe there headaches and use what are already on the market with Amazon products in this area. I just see that the dot speakers don't support multiroom or wifi for longer distances to be used for music or audio output of your phone or independently used services. And last point performance. I'm not sure how we should compare the devices in the future. It depends mainly how stable is the system are there problems with temperature or freezing. That's my major focus. Second I compare with Iperf3 performances in localhost interfaces For example I see a maximum performance of ~640 Mbit/s on my rk3229 V88 Mini 4k devices while my orange Pi PC pushes 2,5 Gbit/s over localhost if and my Banana Pi with 1Gbe Interface just pushes 1,4 Gbit/s and M2plus pushes 2 Gbit/s. Anyway as long as the Iperf3 throughput is at least ~1,5x the maximum the chipset is able to push it's fair enough for me. The wireguard througput is approximately the same by the way... That are the interesting aspects for me and my purposes. Hey guys thanks for the correction! I didn't know that there is even more crappie shit out of hell than our lovely rk3229 devices... But I'm happy that you are also taking care about that. Have you found out if rk3229 is for sure 32-bit? Sometimes I read it should also use 64-bit, but I think it's just 32-bit and for sure a long term killer than... The best thing about rk3229 what I found out within the last years of research with this little Devils and other devices from Amlogic and Allwinner is that these rk3229 tvboxes have best power/watts ratio. It just uses 3W with my measurement series and you get a quad core with 4x1,2Ghz running with wifi.

That are the interesting aspects for me and my purposes. Pointless is not the best description to a minimum performance test. In my opinion it's at least necessary to be faster with localhost test before you maybe try to find somewhere else a bottleneck. OK, to the mystery documentary Try it here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://rockchip.fr/RK3229%20datasheet%20V1.2.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi8m8u-4qLsAhWD3KQKHcrnA94QFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw04G_NC0ZGWTu4xUFSjJr0X Or here http://rockchip.wikidot.com/rk3229 In my opinion there are no big secrets anymore about rk3229. The big brother is maybe just meant to the technology of transistor image. The newer generation is the rk3328 chipset which also supports 64 bit beside all the advantages I mentioned already above.

Hey, Thank you very much your explanation. I haven't tried the ssv6x5x driver. Actually I'm not sure yet if wifi mac changes every reboot or the eth0. I actually installed the newest image of you 20.08 legacy kernel. Is it maybe because I did it wrong with the option "burn flash to Rom"? But I didn't install the idbloader. It recommended not to install, so I didn't install it. As far as I understand @fabiobassahe also thinks we need the unclean workaround. How can I actually get the real Mac address? It's not the one on the bottom of my box because I changed pcb once and did not write it down somewhere... In my experience with ifconfig I get after each reboot the different Mac addresses as it is recognized in my DHCP. Tga Thanks for that important information. But how can I get the true and only correct wifi mac? Doesn't this also change if it's not the correct one in efuse? Do I get for sure the real wifi mac with ifconfig? Is there any chance to get reboot work and to get rid of the kernel update error during each apt update && apt upgrade It would be great! Maybe we can use the device for headless wifi audio cards for multiroom or server use cases like tvheadend or samba server on this device.

Hi thanks a lot for your very quick reply! I used your compiled images. Can I also try to use ssv6x5x driver with ssv6051 chipset? Id: 3030:3030 Cheers and very good work and fantastic that it made to official armbian side! I'm very happy to see that after such a long period of collecting this electronic trash devices. Unfortunately they were never usable with original firmwares under Android... BTW is there a solution for switching eth0 mac address after each reboot?

Unfortunately I noticed before reboot in armbian-config there were two wireless connections. One p2p and a wifi interface. Both discovered the same wifis around and I used the p2p interface for above measurement. After reboot there is just one wifi connection still there and the HotSpot function disappeared unfortunately... I guess it has something to do with kernel upgrade error. Why does it still try to upgrade the legacy kernel by using the usual apt update && apt upgrade

Fingers crossed for development. Dpkg: error processing package linux-image-legacy-rk322x (--configure) : installed linux-image-legacy-rk322x package post-installation scripts subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing : linux-image-legacy-rk322x E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Hope you guys can tell why it's not going well with the update... Also I noticed reboot is still not working unfortunately. I need to replug the power adapter... First test with Iperf3 were more weak than with older versions... 68 Mbit/s with - R option and 86 Mbit/s if device is sending to internal host. Localhost Iperf3 is around 640 Mbit/s up and down. With old versions it went ~95 Mbit/s up and down to local network hosts and 1,6Gbit/s So maybe you guys have still some good ideas to solve the issues...

Hi @fabiobassa, Noticed a mistake. Did use wrong flash method for NAND... Reflashed with... NAND-method. Now the device is booting again... Sorry guys. This was my mistake, I didn't read carefully enough again... Thanks for your hard work which I really celebrate than just only appreciate which of course I also do! 😊 Hey is it worth to give it a try with new image kernel 5.8 or still no working wifi driver for ssv6051? Edit: guys! I'm blasted of the development! It detected and selected already everything correctly when I ran sudo rk3229-config Awesome! Crossing fingers for reboot and tests with internal wifi Id 3030:3030 Cheers Alex

Hi @jockthanks for your answer unfortunately it didn't work out. It is still not booting. I decided with pain to flash the new minimal legacy image. Before flashing it asked to heavily keep the idbloader even when the image has a different one. So I followed the suggestion. Burning successfully finished, shutdown and reboot, Red led is still very weak visible and it doesn't boot... Should I try to reflash with idbloader?

Hey guys I just updated my V88 mini 4k with legacy kernel. During upgrade I saw some errors for rk3229-legacy-kernel update or something. After reboot try it didn't halt as usual, but after replug the box doesn't start anymore just the red led. I installed the armbian onto NAND and it worked quite well even with wifi I used it with around 30 Mbit /s up and down. I just wanted to keep on maintaining and did the upgrade. Now I guess I lost the correct upgrade path between legacy kernels since I haven't updated for at least around 5 months. So what can you recommend and is there a chance to get back onto my data in NAND or do I need to start from zero again with multitool?

Hey guys, great and awesome work! I hope video acceleration will work soon. I just updated my V88 Mini with working wifi, NAND installation but it hung during upgrade. After new replug and plug again the device worked again and no more upgrades. Unfortunately the reboot still isn't working... @jock Have you found a fix for the reboot problem? The upgrade wasn't enough to fix it. Update: Since the upgrade the wifi performance went drastically down! Before I got around 30 Mbit/s through Iperf3 measurements and now it went down to 0,5 Mbit/s - 1 Mbit/s. I don't know what happened with the driver seems to be a problem now.

Please don't give up guys! We all hope for big developments in the arm sector and especially with that RK and Amlogic devices. As I said maybe it's worth another Thread to collect ideas what to do with that hardware. As far as I understand, YouTube, Netflix or Disney+ Player won't unfortunately be the best scenarios to use this device in the near future...

You can see the device should at least reach the 80 Mbit/s with Tx/Rx. With the LOOP-Messurement... to be honest if I think longer about it, maybe the messurement isn't really routed through the wireguard-tunnel and it's just a maximum routing power of the device. If I use the diffrent IP-addresses outside the wireguard-tunnel like localhost or 192.168.178.x there is the same result. - So I guess it isn't really routed through a wireguard-tunnel-loop. If you shutdown the desktop environment the loop-test went up to around 830 Mbit/s Tx/Rx with this device. - Maybe we have some experts here to discuss it in a new topic. But anyway, I know this device is strong enough for most routing and vpn-scenarios if we adjust and optimize the drivers of eth0 and wlan0/p2p0. @jock: there is also an inteface called p2p0. If I use this instead of wlan0 the performance for my network is a bit better around 10%-20% better performance. - I don't know if that's already something like hardware-nat or similar, but wanna mention that. Maybe it's interesting for you to know. So Tx/Rx performance increse to around 45 Mbit/s to 50 Mbit/s via Wifi.

Update: Last update for today... I noticed "sudo reboot" or reboot in general doesn't work with my device. It just shuts down, but there is no reboot... As I said use the profile for "Scishion Mars" and it works quite good with ssv6051 wifi support.
