It seems like the RK3228A isn't recognizing any type of USB device, including the Male to Male USB cable. I've tried keyboards and mouses, but none of them are working at all. Sorry, forgot to mention that you have to plug the male-to-male cable in the OTG port; other ports won't work. That's the maskrom mode. Anyway you can try to boot armbian from sdcard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSAR Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) Hello, aswering for you guys. @fabiobassa I'm unsure if the power surge damaged the USB subsystem. Is there any way to determine or repair it? @jock Sorry, but will this type of male-to-male USB cable in the image below work? It's what I have. I've attempted to boot using Armbian from the SD card, but it continues to display only a black screen and doesn't boot.

Vendor sadly never replied, got in touch with the manufacture, their sales gave me a whatsapp number for tech department but never got a reply there, sad By the way, is there a way of making it boot from SD card?

Leo Luiz Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I'm using balenaEtcher to burn the multitool image into a flash drive, but it ends with a partition of about 396MB. The linux image is about ~900MB uncompressed so there's no space left on the partition to move the distro file into the images folder. I also tried unetbootin and it doesn't create the images folder. What are my options? (I can't do SD card). Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The linux image is about ~900MB uncompressed two methods , 1. boot image first than automatic resize to bigger size ( most of the drive) , than put your image on card 2. use the compressed image of armbian on the sd card , the multotool also can use zip and tar and tar.xz and tar.gz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Mike Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Hi All, Im having an issue with my rk3228. Multitool and most (if not all) of the stable armbian (both sd card and emmc) keeps my unit shut down after 1 minute. Same with @hexdump issue 3 or 4 yrs ago. I tried to research the issue but came up nothing. I got a little success when I used the multitool with old tee img. It doesnt shut down when im using that. Its probably the trust.img but im not 100% sure and I also dont know how to replace or change the trust.img in the armbian build.. Hope someone can help me or point me to the right direction.. Cheers, m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee Mike Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Hi @jock, what is the difference between latest multitool and the multitool with old tee img? Thanks in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 @Mikee Mike the difference is that the "old tee" is a very old TrustOS proprietary and closed source binary from rockchip that does not put the board in standby after one minute. On the other side it has several compatibility issues among various boards. The "regular" multitool has a newer TrustOS that works fine for the majority of the boards around, but on some very rare boards will put them in standby after one minute. As long as they are closed source binaries, we don't know why that happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Mike Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Thank you for the response @jock. Is it possible to use that old TrustOS in an Armbian? Or maybe is there an existing Armbian that uses that old TrustOS? Thanks again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best option is to use the opensource trust os, but it lacks some features (DDR frequency scaling, virtual poweroff most of all). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renan Urata Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 hi guys, tryied to short the 7 8 pin no lucko... used this schema of dot on chip as first pin and then mesuared voltages to check if there was a 0v and a 1.8v pins, tried a bunch to make pc recognize usb device, no lucko... Did a flash from linux to armbian with no sucess and then I got to boot with usb, no sd, with multitool and flashed some armbian 5.15 and 6.40 with success, then I wanted to try out a android image because performance was really poor on linux, could not even reproduce videos with out stutters on mpv, browser experience was horible. Then after using multitool to flash LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-9.2-devel-20200427220805-b7186bc-rk3229-v884k, it bricked my board... by the way this is a ddr3 board and this image seens to be ddr3 also, don~t know why it bricked, I tought that I could reflash with multitool if something bad happened since it was ok with armbian. One thing to note is that after the first flash attempt with armbian via linux, I could not enter flash mode by usb with computer like before, only with multitool... Can some one help me please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfrts Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Hello there! I'm in possession of 12 different models of RK3228 TV Box devices. While I'm having varying degrees of success with current Armbian-community distributions (wi-fi compatibility is iffy, performance is very limited), as I troubleshoot I keep wondering about the same question: how can I accurately find out my correct led-config. Is it the board footprint? Is there documentation on this aspect? Edited August 23 by hfrts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 @hfrts hello! First of all: no documentation from the manufacturs of any kind. Cheap tv boxes come without any kind of documentation: they are dirty cheap hardware with barely working software. The board footprint/silkscreen is indeed the first thing to look for to find the matching led-config: all known boards are listed within the rk322x-config script. If your board is not listed, then the stock firmware (or its device tree) and photos of the board most of the time are enough to properly match an existing led-config with the board or create a new led-config for a new board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabiobassa Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) @hfrts hello First of all and following the @jock's answer and the general rule of thumb of this 3ad I suggest post some photos of board and even better uart logs for every board. Second are well known general problems with inside wifi chips Third when you say " performance is very limited....." are you referring to wifi performance or overall performance of the box? Performance of wifi is limited to 24/26 mbs since the internal chip often is just one chain tx/rx sock ( maximum is 54 but this speed is avaible on double chain socks ) If " performance is very limited....." is referred to overall performance of the box, well try consider its hardware specs and what is the purpose you use the box for @jock... "they are dirty cheap hardware..." .........that costed to you, me and all other friends hundred of sleepless nights LOL 😅 Edited August 23 by fabiobassa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
