mydeardiary Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Hi, guys. Finally got mxq4 Fleco booting with Armbian, but the internal wifi chip (r8723as) is not working. The wifi chip is identified as 02c4:8723. No hdmi output with hdmi-to-usb device. Didn't test other hdmi devices. Overlays applied: emmc, led-conf2. Leds are working, with blue led shining when the device boots with Armbian. Tried patching the kernel to add the device id to r8723bs driver with result the interface wlan0 without the ability to bring up the interface. Someone has done this similar work before. Attached is the dts from Android tv, kernel 3.10 and system diagnosis information. device-tree-mxq4k.dts Edited June 24, 2023 by mydeardiary Added system diagnosis and hdmi status 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 @mydeardiary hello, as @RaptorSDS said, rtl8723as and rtl8723bs are two different chips and require different drivers and firmwares. rtl8723as driver is not in the linux kernel and looks like quite difficult to find a suitable driver. Libreelec folks did some adaptation for the rtl8723au: https://github.com/dtechsrv/LibreELEC-AML/pull/24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I need to tweak it a lot and should not expect it to work great at install, tho... Thanks! Quote At the current stage of this RK332X armbian, PSX emulator could achieve 60 fps on the current/edge kernel because of the great work of Jock, contributors, and Linux graphic library devs. Kernel 5.15 may be work but you need to update your system first. It is best to try on current / edge build. Ubuntu seems to be a little better than Debian. 1. use "armbian-config" command to freeze your kernel update and config max cpu freq. to 1.3 GHz (or more if has any) 2. $ sudo apt update , $ sudo apt upgrade 3. install retroarch to get the necessary library is the easiest way. $ sudo apt install retroarch 4. build or download aarch64 cores. It is best to build your own core by https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super 5. Retroarch config video renders multi-core and fullscreen to increase speed. 6. PSX core on aarch64 needs the new build to have neon 64bit to be fast. Hope you enjoy gaming on this amazing armbian tv box. Sorry, I thought it is RK33xx, but this forum is RK322X. It is 32bit arm CPU. RK32xx is a slower than 33xx. I'm not use 32xx box anymore. For 32xx, the legacy 4.X kernel is faster for this CPU but it hard to find require library now. I'm not test current kernel on 322x that could archive 60 fps. You may try the above instruction but arm 32bit core instead that may be work for you. Edit: I just tested it on my 322x box. Ubuntu Edge kernel works. Retroarch with pcsx-rearmed armv7 core plays PSX game for 60 fps without problem.

baryon Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Hello friends, There was some interest in running Retropie on this box in this thread. I've done some basic work getting one of the boxes I own to run Retropie, and have a basic patch that helps Retropie identify that the CPU is ARM. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/34337/rk322x-box-armbian-build-report-collab If there are tests / whatever folks here might find helpful, let me know. I'm not sure how long I'll be keeping this box. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4B33 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hello guys! I have this H96 Mini V8 RK3228A tv box without an SD card slot. I flashed the newest armbian on it. It worked, but every time the screen updated I got these weird green line flashing. So I figured maybe it's just some driver issue because somebody successfully used armbian with this board, so I tried flashing older versions. Older versions still had this issue, but now I got a bigger problem: I can't flash anything else now, because the button doesn't boot it into maskrom mode, and I'm stuck on some old minimal version armbian that can't even boot up properly! It seems my only option left is to find the clock pin on the emmc if that's possible, or to erase the emmc completely with that broken Linux. I already tried fdisk and mkfs commands to try to erase it, it just say command not found. This is where I need your help guys. Here are some photos of the emmc chip and of the board. By the way I already figured out the green line issue, it only does this at 4k resolution, if I plug in the HDMI after powering it on, it starts at a lower resolution 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is essential, since nand is supported only with legacy 4.4 kernel. That's clearly and boldly stated in the first page. That board is perfectly supported, but probably it is more convenient for you to run a fresh mainline kernel from sd card than an ancient legacy kernel from nand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
