CSC Armbian for RK3318/RK3328 TV box boards

[gurzixo]

Hello again Jock an all the other members of this topic !

After a long time without fiddling with those lovely boxes, I need now a low-cost Linux box (typically 4gb/64gb) for setting up a simple local web server with node/express/nginx.

Would someone be kind enough to provide a working AliExpress link of such a box where at least Eth and maybe WiFi are working out of the box?

Thanks a lot,

Michel

@gurzixo much better to steer to an officially supported SBC from armbian, if you need something reliable: https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Platinum support&arch=aarch64

@jockThanks Jock, I know that and I agree with you. I could also take an Rpi4 with an SSD, but it is also for the fun of tinkering and checking if I still have "green fingers"

The app is not critical as it's for displaying the welcome book and appliance manuals in some holiday rentals on the guests's phone from a QR code.

Good day JOCK. Thank you so much for linking to the latest armbian releases. I installed 25.5.0-trunk.444 and brought it to 25.8.0-trunk.26 by several updates. The system is loaded and steadily updated. Managed to configure ethernet and wifi with static addresses. The network works well. The question is that I can't figure out how to start bluetooth. At first, the system worked without overlays and tried to load BCM43342 when I connected overlay 6330 using armbian-config, nothing changed. I don't have too much experience in unix. What am I doing wrong? PS I attach a photo of the board and  armmonitor -u)

Incbot, hi I have this problem too. Use rk3318-config command to set device tree overlay (on the second step push space then enter) and then don't touch device tree overlay in armbian-config. After reboot use command hciconfig -a, if it have some message on screen - Bluetooth working
