Armbian on a generic RK3518 TV box (AIC8800D80 Wi-Fi) — full bring-up guide

[Julio Cesar Goldner Vendramini]

Hi everyone! 👋

I managed to get Armbian running on a generic RK3518 TV box — mainline U-Boot, onboard Ethernet, and AIC8800D80 SDIO Wi-Fi all working. I couldn't find a single RK3518 thread here when I started, so I wrote everything up to help the community.

Full step-by-step guide, device tree, and the loader binaries I built are in my GitHub repo:

Happy to answer questions.

Hope it helps someone! 🙂

@Julio Cesar Goldner Vendramini Are you planning on submitting this to Armbian as a PR so it gets included?

[Julio Cesar Goldner Vendramini]

Yes, but now, I'm trying to make Bluetooth work and put Armbian to boot from eMMC. But I don't know exactly how to correctly submit these changes.
