CSC Armbian for RK322x TV box boards

@Lucas Gomes
you should force it go  in maskrom ( if no phisical damage occurred) finding the appropriate pins on the board

Hi there, just created an account to say thanks ! I randomly bought a clearance media player on tuesday thinking "there must be something I can do with this and need a project"

A bit of DuckDuckgoing later and found this forum, and well, it's all been done! Good work guys, this device has nand flash  and rk3228a so after a few nand reflashes and general messing about etc I decided to flash the latest image to SD card and well, it runs really well.

 

As previously noted this board has horrible thermal design so active cooling is basically mandatory - anyone experiencing "freezes" or crashes during system updates, note the board temp, it heats rapidly and appears to thermal shutdown at around 80 degrees C. 

 

Have since added a USB wifi dongle which works fine as the onboard wifi isn't driver compat (as previously noted) 

 

So this board appears to have comparable performance to a Raspberry Pi 2b, so as long as you temper your expectations this is a fun system to mess around with.

 

Thanks !

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well.
A couple of days ago, I got interested in installing Linux on one of these Chinese TV boxes to use it with a 3D printer. I've been trying to follow the tutorial step by step, but I'm having a problem.

The box boots into Multitool correctly, and at first, it let me burn the image to the flash, but it didn't work. Now I'm trying again, but it's giving me an error saying there is no eMMC.

I'm not sure what’s going on — could someone please help me?

Thanks in advance!

Hi again, one quick question -- I previously made the mistake of running apt upgrade of the system packages and had installed armbian-configNG over the included armbian-config, so I basically nuked the SD card and reinstalled the image to roll back to the old config. This likely has been covered, but is there a way to reinstall armbian-config or is this a known issue and "DON'T UPGRADE" ? 

 

Cheers!
