tommyboy Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Hello i replaced rk322x-box.dtb and tried again, result is different but again multitool stop.

jock Posted January 29, 2023 Author Posted January 29, 2023 @tommyboy what do you mean with "multitool stops"? You are supposed to interact with it with a monitor attached to the board HDMI port or via SSH, not using the serial adapter port that is just for debugging. The log looks pretty fine to me, you should be able to use the multitool. 0 Quote
tommyboy Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 I mean HDMI stop working only black window, Blue LED stop blinking and stay in ON, i use PuTTY to watch UART message and all communication stop after about 30-40 seconds. Maybe i make mistake anywhere. 0 Quote
jock Posted January 29, 2023 Author Posted January 29, 2023 @tommyboy mmmh, it looks like the trust os is bringing the board down for some reason. You can see that from the strange characters [6eggK... you get at the serial prompt. Now I don't know which piece of software is misbehaving, if the trust of the multitool or the trust on the board, because the very first piece of the log is missing. You should set the serial adapter to 1.5mbps to grab the first part of the log, then post it here. 0 Quote
tommyboy Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Hi I am not sure but set the serial adapter to 1.5mbps, and this the result.

tommyboy Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 This is log when run only Android, without sd card with Multitool New Text Document (3).txt 1 Quote
jock Posted January 29, 2023 Author Posted January 29, 2023 The trust os of the original firmware is very old, but yet I don't know the reason why the trust os from the multitool is acting weird. Unfortunately that piece of code is a closed binary blob and I don't know what it is actually doing. I arranged another multitool with a different trust os. It is not guaranteed to work, but you may try: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b0BOwdr0J6XxYDyn1HfprtmBPhMHIfnV/view?usp=share_link 2 Quote
fangis Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Hello friends, No request this time, just another success story, at least partial ! I managed to run multitool on a mxq pro tv box. Now I will try to edit this image to make a linux image working from the sd card, my parents still like too much their laggy android to delete it, hehe. Installing linux on mini pcs is so useful, I have done it on many different ones.. Im curious on what people here are doing with their desktops and servers ! ok, all the best, greetings from Brazil, and thanks everyone for the work and research fangis 1 Quote
tommyboy Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Hi Joke, i tried with new multitool but result is same no success. Maybe there is something wrong with the tv box, thanks for the help. 0 Quote

Most probably the issue is in the closed binary code that does something that put the board in suspend. Usually this does not happen with other boards, just with yours and I have no explanation for that. A possible solution would be to use an opensource trust os, which is available for rk322x, but it is something I can't do in a matter of few days but requires some further study to integrate it into the rockchip boot flow successfully. 0 Quote
tommyboy Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I understand, Jock thank for helping, i will sell this tv box and will buy new one but different type. 0 Quote
Ferid Hentati Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) On 1/2/2023 at 6:41 AM, RaptorSDS said: my solution was reflow/resolder a realtek RTL8723 DS/BS from ali... its pin and pin behavior compatible , but without a proper driver the AP S9012P is useless in linux @RaptorSDS I'm in the same situation as described and am willing to solder another module found on AliExpress. In the joined photo you can see my board (there is a soldering pad for external module and already soldered circuit on board directy), so I'm thinking to get rid of all wifi segment components and directly solder one like this https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32767855218.html or https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32495116310.html whats do you think. if you have a datasheet of the S9012P it will be helpful for me to determine if its compatible with what im going to do. Edited January 30, 2023 by Ferid Hentati i forget the photo 0 Quote
RaptorSDS Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 i have only a datasheet of later S9082 , maybe with some google you could also find S9012 . RTL8723BS should be easy finding . Most of this addon bords have same layout only some pins like EN (enable) my be variate in the beavior but not position good price on ali ( at my time is was 10€ without shipping only by a coupon it was affordable (around 3€ inklude shipping) User-Manual-3209392.pdf 0 Quote
regepower Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Hello Armbian fans, I'm totally new to linux and I'm doing my first steps on a V88 4k box. I have installed Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_Rk322x-box_focal_legacy_4.4.194_xfce_desktop.img.xz in the NAND. rk322x-config and armbian config was set up and I did media_install after that. The menus on the desktop also open fast now. CPU LAst no longer goes high when moving windows but moving windows is extremely slow with streaks. Since I don't know anything about this, what do I have to do to get the 2D acceleration to work? The tip here from the forum does'nt work for me. Thanks for the answer. The official image with mainlione kernel works great from SD card but I wanted to have the system in NAND.

fabiobassa Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 @regepower About mainline in nand Is not possibile . No nand drivers in mainline 😞 About slow dragging of Windows , well @jock Will answer Better but at the moment this Is the state of desktop experience on X11 0 Quote
jock Posted February 5, 2023 Author Posted February 5, 2023 @regepower Hello, don't expect great desktop performance, the SoC is generally very limited and it was not its purpose to run x11 desktop. The best thing you can do, if you already didn't, is to disable the desktop compositor from setting -> windows manager tweaks -> compositor. Generally this helps a bit with performance, but as said, it won't change a mouse into a kangaroo 🙃 0 Quote
fangis Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 @regepower xfce might be a heavy environment for your v88 box. you may try lxde which is lighter .. and even much lighter, there are the window managers, of which I recommend, openbox + tint2 or jwm, which is the lightest usable option I know of, I am not a mega X user, but I have tested these on a worse tv box, and it actually made a difference. have a good week 0 Quote
RaptorSDS Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 @fangis do yo have link for a manual / instruction for install JWM or Openbox+tint2 i have not much experience when the desktop not already preinstall and preconfig at startup last time i install desktop without preinstall ( Dietpi and xfce ) all text and all symbol where missing . Thats was not a good experiance . 0 Quote
fangis Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Hello RaptorSDS I have done it some years ago, so I don't remeber it all, but I recall it as being easy, just installed them with apt, as "apt install jwm" and then there was an option to switch between the different window managers on login, you can have many of them installed. The defaults will probably work but for the links you asked, google for 'jwm window manager', 'openbox window manager' or the manuals, 'man jwm' , etc. I think somehow in your setup there were libraries missing ... 0 Quote

Thats was not a good experiance . Yup, often you need some other "recommended" packages to get the whole thing working right. Sometimes they are listed as reccomended/suggested packages by apt itself, some other time they even are not That's the same for weston, for example: if you install the "weston" package it just does not work if there aren't the EGL/OpenGL libraries already installed. 0 Quote
Luciano Almeida Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Hey guys! I have a TVBox RK3228A NAND. I followed the procedures described on the first page and installed legacy ARMBIAN. The system crashed during boot...and the brick box. I managed to do the process with the screwdriver and erase the flash.... the box now runs(OK) Armbian from the SD card. I would still like to boot from internal memory, but multitool no longer displays the option to write to NAND. ("Burn Armbian image via steP-nand") ow do I switch back? Do I have alternatives to work without SD or external USB? 0 Quote
n3o Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Dear to all, how can I know if I have NAND, eMMC or eNCP memory? Here there are some photo of board 0 Quote
RaptorSDS Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 hi eMCP is RAM and Flash on one Chip most time , --> when you have only one big chip beside the CPU NAND and eMMC is more tricky but its look the first picture , with the not solder Area ist the place for NAND ( often the NAND ships have many pins on both oposide ends) to be really sure please look at the big ship below the AMS1117 power regulator some hint the 4 smaller chip are the RAM (on top and below board) 0 Quote

fabiobassa Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 @n3o Have you read the whole topic ? Sure? Because at the beginning Is clear that multitool will warn you if inside the box there is a nand That said , go read First post 0 Quote

So multiboot warn me only if there is a nand? In the case of emmc or encp there aren't warn? What is the precise message showed? 0 Quote
