fabiobassa Posted October 16 Posted October 16 @Parth maybe is easier if you tell us what are your goal, for what purposes you want use this box Don't forget the overall total cpu power and amount of ram, we are speaking of a 12 dollars soc. What do you want from this box ? 0 Quote
Parth Posted October 16 Posted October 16 @fabiobassa my plan here is simple, i wanna use it as a linux box where i can have a 21inch touch screen display running a flutter app. and ofcourse some other nittygritty things like it would be controlling some hardware over usb, would have GSM for network connection and so on. since this is a cheap thing available than a raspberry pi, best to use this for the purpose. 1 Quote
jock Posted October 16 Author Posted October 16 @Parth the soc is slow, it is one of the slowest socs around with a modest amount of memory on board , so don't expect stellar performance. The image with debian bookworm is a minimal image: small and good for servers. For all the other questions, you can consult the official armbian documentation https://docs.armbian.com/ and related forums 1 Quote
E O Bernardini Posted October 17 Posted October 17 My device uses an rk3229, and I need a legacy image to install it, but I can't find or even download the image from GitHub. I accept support on this issue. 0 Quote

striga Posted October 18 Posted October 18 @jock After playing with kernel video parameters, I got the boot screen working at 480p, but now the greeting screen is what fails for no reason, since it changes resolution once it starts. Maybe it has to do with hdmi-hotplug... 0 Quote
Vladimir Trondin Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Hi guys, looks like I need a help. I got a perfect TV Box from Aliexpress few day ago: Promised/reality 4K/720p Android 11/ Android 7 double band wifi / 2,4Ghz only RK3229/RK3228 RAM 4GB/1GB FLASH 16GB/4GB I hope to have a good and inexpensive alternative for Raspberry Pi CPU RK3228a eMCP 08EMCP08-EL3BT227 (8GB eMMC TLC NAND + 8Gb LPDDR3 x32 1600 Micron) 221-ball FBGA wifi iCOMM sv6158 wifi I am trying to get Armbian working. From eMMC is doesn't work, problem is eMMC related. From SD it works perfectly and very slow. But eMMC is not visible. Do you know, what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Vladimir Trondin Posted October 28 Posted October 28 (edited) Looks like problem is related to the newest versions, Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_Rk322x-box_focal_legacy_4.4.194_xfce_desktop.img.xz works fine. But wifi doesn't work (sv6158). Edited October 28 by Vladimir Trondin 1 Quote
fabiobassa Posted October 28 Posted October 28 @Vladimir Trondin Thank you for such detailled Infos, photos and logs I doubt sv6158 Will ever work due lack of driver 's sources but sure @jock Will answer about it 0 Quote
Vladimir Trondin Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Цитата I doubt sv6158 Will ever work It isn't very big problem, USB dongle Ralink MT7601U works fine. 1 Quote
jock Posted October 28 Author Posted October 28 Hello @Vladimir Trondin, as @fabiobassa already pointed out, there is no driver for ssv6158. Doing some research, it seems that it may use the ssv6x5x driver, but it would require adaptation, plenty of time, plenty of patience and you would not be sure if it will finally work. About the eMMC of your board, it would be handy to get the output of dmesg command, but in the meantime you could do some experimentation with the emmc parameters in rk322x-config withing this page: In particular, try to enable emmc-pins and emmc-ddr-ph45 or emmc-ddr-ph180 or emmc-hs200 (these last three are alternative, only one should be enabled) and see if your emmc gets detected after a reboot. Also your board r3229q is not listed within the led-conf options, but I see some similarities with r329q board (led-conf2) MXQPRO_V72 (led-conf6), so you may start trying with those ones, or stick with generic since your wifi is already detected despite being useless. 1 Quote
Vladimir Trondin Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Hello, dmesg report is attached dmesg.txt.zip 0 Quote
jock Posted October 29 Author Posted October 29 @Vladimir Trondin I see no issues about eMMC in that dmesg 0 Quote
Vladimir Trondin Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Sure, it is dmesg for very old version, with working eMMC. I totally broke system during playing with emmc configuration. After few hours it works again. Maybe I just have to live with old Linux. If something works - don't fix it. 😀 0 Quote

byka Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Unbrick rk3229 TV-box X96q: (processor marked as S905W, but actually is not, software detects it as rk3229) For unbrick power off, short this two resistors (upper contacts) with screwdriver, power on, red led will be bright - remove screwdriver. Unbricked, you can load from SD-card now. 2 Quote
Mr-TNT Posted November 2 Posted November 2 (edited) I followed the instructions from the link https://forum.armbian.com/topic/34923-csc-armbian-for-rk322x-tv-box-boards/. However, after flashing with MultiTool, I can no longer boot my device from the SD card. I got to the step 'Wait for 10 seconds, then the LED should start blinking and HDMI will turn on,' but my device has literally become a brick. I have a USB connection ready to connect to my computer. I to try unbrick it, but I haven’t found the right pins to activate. Please help me I’ve tried everything and am feeling very desperate. Edited November 2 by Mr-TNT 0 Quote
RaptorSDS Posted November 3 Posted November 3 @Mr-TNTplease can you send some picture of board , there are 2 boards with problem first wherer the right LED-Config has to been set with ssh after flash per LAN , the secound has a close bootloader which need a diffirent OPTEE area wich need to be flash seperatly overall normaly when sd-card boot work than later it should also boot from that , yyou can also flash armbian direct to sdcard and also try to boot from sdcard maybe as short term solution 2 Quote
remlei Posted November 10 Posted November 10 On 11/3/2024 at 4:55 AM, Mr-TNT said: after flashing with MultiTool, I can no longer boot my device from the SD card. this is expected specially for eMMC models unfortunately. its still possible to boot multitool after the emmc install but you need to find out how to put the board to maskrom mode. If you have SD card inserted to the board and and you perform maskrom, it should boot to SD card. 0 Quote
Minoro Hamada Posted November 10 Posted November 10 Hello everyone, My setup is an MX9 4K with an RK3228B chip and eMMC memory. I think I may be missing a step. I’ve already flashed the image to the eMMC and received a successful completion message. However, when I restart the device, it doesn’t boot from the eMMC. If I put the SD card back in, it boots from the SD card normally. I’ve been looking into a solution using U-Boot, but I could use some help with this. U-boot boot order priority: first the sdcard, then the USB OTG port and eventually the internal eMMC; you can install u-boot (and the whole system) in the internal eMMC and u-boot will always check for images on external sdcard/USB first. 0 Quote
jock Posted November 10 Author Posted November 10 15 hours ago, remlei said: this is expected specially for eMMC models unfortunately. No, this is not expected at all. Unless there is a problem that may freeze the board at boot (like the optee issue that is coming up recently), when armbian is installed, boot priority is given to sdcard, then eMMC. @Mr-TNT I guess you did not follow the instructions to first erase eMMC and test armbian on sdcard and later install into eMMC. 0 Quote
jock Posted November 10 Author Posted November 10 @Minoro Hamada Supposing you removed the sdcard from the slot, the only way to tell you what is happening is providing logs from the serial interface. You may have a broken/read only eMMC. Also you did not specify what image, what kernel, what board you have... 1 Quote

I wish this was the case but as soon as armbian is installed on emmc, any image in the community repo from github do not boot the SD card first, for it to boot to sd card, I need to short that maskrom to ground. but for some reason, the old images does actually what you said, it boots to sd card first before anything.

It could be that it is not working anymore since I upgraded to 2024.04 u-boot and had to practically rebuild the configuration from scratch. This is indeed not intended and has to be considered as a regression. 0 Quote
Minoro Hamada Posted November 13 Posted November 13 (edited) @jockHi, thanks for the reply. I'm quite new to this, but from what I've researched, my board is an RK3229_MXQ_5G_BT V1.0. I've tried every single image from this link: https://users.armbian.com/jock/rk322x/armbian/stable/. As for the logs, I'll try to find them to provide more details.
