ghoul Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 Considering that this is all community supported as always, Is Armbian nowadays in a better shape on Amlogic or Rockchip tv boxes?
Tomek51 Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) This is a very good question. I also have to decide whether I want a box with rk3318 or one with s905x2-s905x3.. What is better supported here and where is armbian more stable on? Maybe an expert can say something about that 😁 Edited March 4, 2023 by Tomek51 1
ning Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 from the mainline develop status view point, Amlogic vdec is stopped, and Rockchip is still active developping. Rockchip soc can use all upstream components, even uboot. but Amlogic need vendor blob to create uboot. Rockchip soc have Cursor plane, but amlogic doesn't. this is good for desktop use. 2
Tomek51 Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Many thanks for the answer. Then I order a H96 Max with rk3318 and 4gb RAM. That should be enough for my needs
Werner Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Take note that there is no guarantee that community-hacked Armbian versions will work on that hardware properly. TVboxes are like cancer on the SBC market. You can read more on that here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#i-have-a-tv-boxtablet-from-insert-random-vendor-can-i-use-armbian-on-it 1
