RK3288 and RK3188

[Toeter]

Hi guys,

 

I wanted to try this out, but I can't get my Minix X7 to boot from SD. I downloaded the Jammy xfce desktop .xz file from 20220205, extracted the .img and burned on SD with USBimager. I have tries different sizes of SD (8, 32, 64 GB) but none works, there' s no HDMI output. Android booting goes fine (Wasser 3.0.6 Firmware). Am I missing something? 

Thanks in advance

[vindio74]

I have the same setup in my Minix X7, I need a cold boot unplugging and plugging the power to start Armbian from the SD card.

I also have the internal jumper set to auto boot, I hope this helps.

[Toeter]

Thanks for your reply. I tried cold booting on all 3 SD-cards, but to no avail. Must be the jumper, then. I'll find something else to do with the X7.

Can you compiling one updated kernel with modules with enough function for running docker/cifs with bridged network ?

Hello everyone, 

 

Just found this by chance and I have one of these boxes sitting around gathering dust that would be awesome to make use of. Sadly Im running into issues and wanted to see if anyone has ideas to help. Ive exhausted all the troubleshooting i know

 

I have a cs918 v7.0 box, here are some photos i found online that include pictures of the internals.

https://www.admir.kiev.ua/ru-i-offer-i-id-i-646057-i-android-tv-cs918-mk888q7-2gb8gb-android-smart-tv-box-smart-tv-me.html

It has rk3188 with RTL8723  wifi and ip101 ethernet.  The android on the nand boots and works fine

 

I tried multiple images and all the rk3188 dts files, the device seems to start booting but I get no HDMI output. The ethernet seems to establish a link but does not send out any packets for a DHCP request or anything at all, no traffic at all seen from the port. Same with a usb ethernet adapter, establishes a link but no traffic. A usb keyboard has working numlock/cap lock leds so it does not seem to be frozen, and ctrl alt del reboots the system. 

 

I tried 2x different chipset usb/serial adapters, they seem to get initialized but i dont get any output with them after adding console=ttyUSB0,9600n8 to the extlinux.conf file.

 

Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? No display, console, and no network connection means I have no idea what's going on.  I cannot find any connection points for uart on the pcb as well.  Even if i did find a uart line, will armbian output logs over it? 

 

 

 

 

[ivoh]

I finally found the uart pins on the pcb. I also found a voltage regulator for the hdmi chip was not getting powered up, explaining the no hdmi. I tried force powering it, no change on the hdmi output when that regulator was enabled.

 

I also tried another known real samsung microsd card, still fails. 

 

Bootlogs attached if anyone has any idea what to check next. I tried disabling the hdmi output since the chip wasnt getting power anyways, multiple dts files,  but all seemed to stop at this line printk: bootconsole [uart8250] disabled

https://pastebin.com/8dyJFjie

Is the output simply being disabled at this point? I am unable to type into the console after this. 

 

Here is the factory android boot log.

Her is a photo of the pcb.

in dts HDMI transmitter IT66121, you have RK616

Docker doesn't work on your images

 

can you fix this problem?
please recompile the image

Hello Everyone:

 

I keep using my MK802iV, which has a RK3188 SoC.

 

I just stopped caring about HDMI out put, Let me just mention that only 1 of the monitors and TV screens i have at hand worked just fine, for the others all i was getting was a black screen; despite this,  i decided to install pihole on it, and it has been working fine for several days,  now having a screen attached is not a must, as i can access it with ssh from my local network just fine (I used a USB to ethernet adapter).

 

One question remains on the air for me; is it possible to install Armbian on the internal storage for my device? (instead of booting from the Microsd), i'm asking cause sometimes when restarting (due to power loss, as an example) android starts instead of Armbian, and i just have to power cycle the device so Armbian is booted again; while this is a small inconvenience, it would be great to have it sorted out.

 

regards.

Your problem is that the kernel cannot make a clean reboot and not the booting hardware. This is a usual trouble difficult to repair. A software change is the best solution but maybe none of your choices will work fine on this.

Hello,
Has anyone successfully installed Armbian on a Minix X7 with LAN working?

 

I've  installed Armbian Buster (Armbian_21.05.0-trunk_Rk3188_buster_current_5.10.27_xfce_desktop.img.xz).

Now I just want to install OpenMediaVault5 but I have a problem with the LAN not working (the LAN port lights are off).

 

Any suggestion?

 

Regards,

[antoniostefanelli]

Hi,

this is my first post.

First: A big thanks to Balbes150 for his work, I've downloaded his rk3188 rom and it work fine at first attempt. On Minix neo 7 work fine, boot up and LAN seams to work.

 

Second: Someone know if is possibile to add driver for AP6330 wifi to bullseye_current_5.10.96 ? it is arm 32bit.

 

Thanks to everyone

[antoniostefanelli]

Hi,

i was unbale to boot again and with with regularity from Sdcard.

The problem is the HDMI because the sistem boot up, led on keyboard and mouse power up but the screen remain always in "no signal"

 

Without SD the box start with android, with an old version of linuxium the box boot up , Only with all version of Armbian the screen remain black.

 

can someone help me to test and maybe pass me a guide on how to recompile the kernel and create custom versions?

Hi Billyme,

After looking into the dts file ( de-compiled dtb file),  I found a power supply configuration that was set too low (1.1Volt instead of 1.2 Volt) for the IT66121FN HDMI chip.  I changed this, compiled it into a dtb file and now everything seems to run stable for hours.  However,  a lot of things don't run yet. No audio, no Bluetooth,  no internal WiFi and no internal LAN.

 

Hi,

can you send more detail about this mod?
Thanks

LAN working on Minix NEO X7.

For now I gave up on trying to find the IO-pin that controls the LAN power on the Minix NEO X7 board.

By making a hardware modification, involving removing a voltage controller (because unfortunately 1 pin broke during the modification) and placing a wire to get the LAN power supply from another voltage controller, I got LAN up and running. I will leave it running for a couple of days to see if nothing breaks.

 

I can state that the drivers for the Realtek 8152B USB ethernet adapter are working

 

Hi,

please can you send more detail about this hardware mod?

 

Thanks a lot!

HI,

someone can help for adding support to ch34x driver?

I've a module compiled for raspberry (not working) and the source code.

 

thanks

Until last week, I have been able to compile working images for my Minix Neo X7 tv box with @balbes150 git branch. This is no longer possible for rk3188 or rk3288 in the CSC/WIP/EOS/TVB tab of the ./compile.sh menu :-(((. It was really fun while it lasted. Any possibility of seeing it again in a near future?

[BuX2003]

Hello guys, I'm new here and I would like some help flashing the image to a radxa rock pro. 

The first question is if the image is a root fs?

The second question is what should I do in order to flash it to the rock pro?

Thnaks in advance.
