ghoul Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Recently has appeared some 3566 tv boxes in the wild, would be doable to run armbian on them? Since Rockchip seems kinda dedicated to openness the same goes for the RK3566? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 In terms of mainline support this should be possible if the device tree is known since lots of stuff for rk3568 has been spotted in the Linux ARM mailing list. However it seems like only initial support has been approved yet and is up to being released with 5.13. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we basically need only to be patient and wait, and this is great because GNU/Linux on RK3566 and RK3568 should give a truly enjoyable experience. Anyway, thanks for the reply! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zella Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 There are a lot of cheap tv boxes with 8gb ram, so armbian will be very intersting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody wants to waste time on it maybe. Nothing official however.

chinhhut Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Personally, we still hope our hero @jock will take a look on rk3566 soon in near future. For now, I feel happy with my 3318 box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qm3ster Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I wonder why RK3566 and even RK3228A TV boxes come with 8GB RAM, but the vastly superior RK3399 is only ever seen with 4GB. Also, this may interest some people here (whoops if already posted). It's a random(?) putting what appears to be a @balbes150's RK3566 build on X96 X6, a 8GB TV box, and claiming that even WiFi/Bluetooth works? Unclear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because rk3228a with 8gb ram has huge fakes. The chip cannot address more than 2gb of ram and that's a fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
