Le Best Noob Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 @jock I've uploaded the images of the board here. Front Side Back Side I wish you a Merry Christmas 0 Quote
jock Posted December 25, 2023 Author Posted December 25, 2023 @Le Best Noob Thanks for the photos. It looks like a quite a standard rk3229 board, in fact looking into the device tree it uses the same led wiring of mxq_rk3229, which is led-conf2; the only thing doubt is that the leds may be switched in polarity: when set to on, they turn off, and viceversa. 0 Quote
ktolisgr Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 I have a old tv box that I dont want to throw away. It is a MXQ4k the board is a RK3229-BOX V4 with Nand flash. The problem is the when i flash a 4.15 focal image I get the Armbian Os working but when I flash the latest 6.13 I get "Gave up waiting for root file system device". The same hapens when I try to instal Librelec. My knowlege of Linux in general is limited and I am lost. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote
fabiobassa Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) @ktolisgr Nand Is ONLY supported on Legacy kernel Stay on 4.x.x and everything will work. This Is clear said in first posts and throught the whole 3ad but i know.....Reading Is boring and forum huge, better direct ask thing already explained billion times !

ktolisgr Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 Ok can I bypass this problem by using an external drive? By the way reading and anderstandig are not always compatible. Therefore the statemanet that I have limited Linux knowlege. 0 Quote
Edson Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 Hi there.. I'm a really noobie in armbian... actually, in Linux. I'm installing it on a TX Box Tomate (Rockwell 322x) after doing the procedures, and installing armbian-config, I can't config wifi, there is no option. the box has wifi, and when I run the rk322x-config it shows the wifi device. Could someone please help me? 0 Quote

You can try something, open the TV box plastic case, and take a shot from wifi module. By the number you can download the driver and copy via thumb flash drive to Linux.

xjgml Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 Hi everyone, I have some issues relating to hdmi and network with my rk3228 tv box with emmc. Simply put, the box boots normally at the first glance, but both the hdmi output (the signal is there, just black screen) and the network disappear exactly after the system asks me to login. So I cannot ping it, nor can I ssh to it, and there is no display. Before that, I can see its ip address in my router and ssh to it when I'm lucky. But the ssh freezes immediately as well. An LED on board goes off at the same time. I tested serveral power supplies, including an original 12v1a and a new purchased 12v2a. The tv box itself recommends using a 12v1a power. I tested several armbian images (ranging from legacy kernel to current kernel) into the emmc on board, following the instructions of jock using rkdeveloptools: Quote Run sudo rkdeveloptool rd 3 (if this fails don't worry and proceed to next step) Run sudo rkdeveloptool db rk322x_loader_v1.10.238_256.bin Run sudo rkdeveloptool wl 0x0 image.img These images all behave the same. Any ideas? I don't even know whether this is a problem relating to hdmi and network configuration, or armbian just went down! I do not have the ability to do ttl or uart tests and I know nothing about that. I'll attach the image of this board. Thanks a lot! 0 Quote

ego worker Posted January 1 Posted January 1 (edited) getting back to R29 I have flashed 6.11 from archive after led7 config - everything works. BUT... it often freezes on tasks like apt update or installing packages ... was there any more CPU/DDR/eMMC settings needed to run it more stable way ? edit got nothing from ttl just hangs- cant acces it with usb-keyb,ttl or ssh still got screen from hdmi. Blue and orange LED is turned ON installed on eMCP after reboot data written from last few minutes - disapears. Directories made are empty - but cannot be rmdired - becouse "there are files inside" xD Edited January 1 by ego worker 0 Quote
jock Posted January 1 Author Posted January 1 @ego worker during my tests the board was stable with days of uptime, but when some tasks were run it hang as well. Could not really understand where is the issue, but I did not dedicate any time to it. What overlays did you enable? R29s are very limited, they have no power regulators for cpu and logic so voltage is fixed. For this reason, cpu, ddr and gpu frequencies cannot scale up to nominal frequencies. 0 Quote
ego worker Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) @jock only led-conf7, one provided with img. both https://imola.armbian.com/dl/rk322x-box/archive/Armbian_23.11.1_Rk322x-box_bookworm_current_6.1.63_minimal.img.xz and current trunk have same problem. legacy with no hdmi was ok as far as I remember - installed kiauh with klipper with no problems. Here its impossible to do so - dies at random point. Even apt update is challege. When i put htop on other screen i noticed that it usualy hangs when all 4 cores are close to 100%, so probaby 1Ghz its still to much. Strange there is no output from serial. edit: will test now with 600-600Mhz range now. it slowed down eMCP from 2MiB/s to 1.4MiB/s edit2: looks stable so far. Time to manualy overvoltage cpu ? ;D Edited January 2 by ego worker 0 Quote
jock Posted January 2 Author Posted January 2 @ego worker Now I'm checking edge 6.6.7 kernel and it works like a charm: made some stress tests with openssl speed -multi 4 while running KDE and hardware video decoding with no particular issues My eMCP reads at most at 28.4mb/s in DDR mode, sometimes also times out, but it is a scrap board with plenty of issues; decent and non-abused eMCPs read up to 90mb/s in DDR mode. 1 Quote

jock Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 @ego worker journal rotation is normal, the disconnection of the USB devices are typical of tv boxes adapted to do something else: tv boxes are not able to supply too much power and if the USB devices are not low power, they often disconnect.

Trọng Bằng Nguyễn Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Hello everyone, I'm a tinkerer, I followed the instructions but it didn't work. After flashing the multitool to a USB or Card Reader, plugging it into the box cannot boot from the card reader or USB. My motherboard uses nand, I don't really understand how to do it. What I need most is to boot from USB but that doesn't work. 0 Quote

jock Posted January 12 Author Posted January 12 @Jaisere Hello, I wonder why you are using an image with the legacy 4.4 kernel, which I don't maintain anymore. That is an ancient kernel supplied by the vendor and it is several years old; the vendor (rockchip) maintained up to a couple of years ago, but now it is totally deprecated and unmantained. The only usefulness for that kernel is that it works with the internal NAND flash. Use images with current kernel (at the moment, current version is 6.1), which is mainline kernel. It does not support NAND, but it is maintained and supports practically everything. 1 Quote
Jaisere Posted January 12 Posted January 12 @jock the reason im using an image with the legacy 4.4 kernel is that when I use anything other than those images I get the results of the picture I sent 0 Quote
jock Posted January 12 Author Posted January 12 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jaisere said: @jock the reason im using an image with the legacy 4.4 kernel is that when I use anything other than those images I get the results of the picture I sent I bet: your internal flash is NAND and you are installing the image in the internal flash. Read the first page for more info. Use sdcard and mainline kernel if you don't want up to date kernel and opensource drivers. Edited January 12 by jock fix negation in sentence :D 1 Quote
Jaisere Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) @jock yes it is indeed NAND, I have also read through the first page a few times when I first came across it, (thanks for the Quick installation instructions on NAND btw) I do want to use the internal flash rather than an external sd card or usb, (just for the fun of it tbh as its not like this is a mission critical device), I assume this basically has me locked off to the lima or panfrost drivers then? is it possible to compile my own on the device itself?

Yes 24 minutes ago, Jaisere said: is it possible to compile my own on the device itself? Yes, but you won't get any lima or panfrost anyway, 4.4 is way too old kernel. Also Panfrost is of no use, since it does not support Utgard (Mali-400) but only Midgard and above 1 Quote
fabiobassa Posted January 12 Posted January 12 @Jaisere the problem ISN' T the lima or xorg issue, but "VERY SIMPLE" : it doesn't find the rootfs. it is clearly explained in your log : WAITING FOR ROOT FILE SYSTEM This indeed happen because when you update and upgrade maybe it takes a NEW KERNEl and new kernels DON'T support nand . That's all!! No lima issues , no mesa issues, no other than newer kernels not recognize NAND if you want desktop environment and at same time install in internal flash try to find a 4.4.xxx kernel with xfce or lxde already installed Or you can try this rootfs but you still have to use a 4.4.xxx kernel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jmtwGs88iXfCs7UtaEv1d5h7C9-9KGFg/view?usp=drive_link 1 Quote

Jaisere Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) @fabiobassa and @RaptorSDS the issue isnt due to the desktop environment or it not booting, My system works with the 4.4 legacy, it just doesn't use the Mali400 chip for graphics. I provided the image of what happens when I use anything other than the legacy kernal as extra context, that doesnt happen when I update or upgrade, when I set up a desktop environment myself it works fine. I will try @fabiobassa's rootfs just to see what its about, and if it some how allows me to used the Lima, panfrost, or built in Mali drivers I will stick with it, thanks!

Jaisere Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) @fabiobassa Hate to be a bother, but how exactly do I use the rootfs that you provided? the same way with multitool or some other process? Edited January 13 by Jaisere 0 Quote
