Armbian for TV box rk3328

I've still problems to install Armbian to the eMMC because the boot is from Libreelec SD and the system is from Armbian USB. But I think I will edit the install script to fix the issues.

Immediately after starting u-boot from the SD card (about 5-10 seconds after power on), you can pull out the SD card. Then the script will only see eMMC.

Your hints to make this box working with armbian are highly appreciated.

need the UART console log.

Hello,

on my h96 max +, with the dtb rk3328-box-h96mp.dtb from @easyb, my box starts and works very well.

The only problem is that the mac address changes with each restart.

How do I get a fixed mac address?

No one has the same problem?

Does no one have a solution ?

It would be handy if you said which image you are using.

I tried with Armbian_20.05.1_Arm-64_buster_current_5.6.2_20200408.img and the latest 5.7.... buster no desktop

still no one?

I'm not even sure my box will boot with that combination. I'll try later today.

you did not configure DTB to USB.

 

The system starts normally. If HDMI doesn't work , check the cable and your TV\monitor.

To work with eMMC, you need the correct DTB.Either you select the appropriate one from the available ones, or you need to create your own one for your hardware. But maybe you don't have eMMC, it's NAND memory, it won't work.

Thank you for your hints. Yeah, I mean there are no emmc and lan working. Hence,  I couldnt install to the emmc. It works for HDMI with the dtb rk3328-box and rk3328-rockbox... The rests dtb no HDMI output. How to create the appropriated one for my hardware? I have extracted the dtb from running Android but no lucks so far...

@Reddwarf also tried to install it, but it didn't work for him. I still don't know the reason.

I tried one of the latest. I have similar result with your build.

Can someone share u-boot for A5X max+ 4/32GB ?

Hi, 

I was able to install last build on an box named Q96 plus, it has 4gb rk3328, for some reason is crashing when copy a large to the usb drive, anynow knows how to check this?

Hi @balbes150

 

Finally I have got my box working, but with LibreElec only. I used the image LibreELEC-RK3328.arm-9.2.1-box.img.gz with the dtb in the forum rk3328-t9.dtb. The kernel of LibreElec is 4.4.154 and it detects the emmc and LAN port very well.

 

Then I have tried all variants of armbian for the rk3328 including the old built 19.11.3 but no one detects the LAN and emmc.

 

Is there anyway to use the boot system of LibreElec with the ARMbian instead of the default LibreELEC? Thank you.

No, it won't work. The reason is not in the launch system, but in the absence of the correct DTB for the new kernel, specifically for your TV box model. You either need to build the correct DTB yourself, or contact the manufacturer to ensure that they release the correct DTB for the main kernel.

The version LE you have running with the old kernel and the DTB that you are using is the same for the old kernel.

I see. Thank you so much, I might give up on this box, will try another box :).

Hi guys, newbie here

How do I flash the image to H96 max RK3328. Can I use a USB-A to A cable. What software do I need. Will Ethernet work. And where do I find the image

[SmallBox]

It is working now with Amrbian 19.11.3 on the board A5X Plus Mini 2GB/16GB, finally!, but a bit tricky to accomplish the setup.

Steps:

Burn the image Armbian rk3328 20.5 20200312.img to SD card. 

Burn another image Armbian 19.11.3 rk3328 4.4.154 to USB.

Use the dtb rk3328-t9 from hexdump, modifiy etclinux.conf in the USB to read that file.

Plug both of them to the board.

It will boot to the SD and looking the USB to continue to boot successfully. Ethernet, emmc are working well.

Thank you once aain for your efforts @balbes150 @hexdump and communities to make this work on the box. Cheers.

Hi Faisal, you can see the first page of this topic for the details. Basically, you need: a SD card, an USB stick, image burner software (Etcher, Rufus...)... Once you have the SD or USB boot to the system, you can install it.

[Nuno Cruz]

Hi, I installed armbian on a Q96 plus but is working some problems.
I tried to install again using diferent dtb but strange was not booting any other dtb, not even with the one that I was to install the first time.
So I decide put back the original android firmware with the flash tool,  Strangely the toothpick methd to make the box connect to flash is not working,

So, now I'm not able to install any other firmware, but is still boot a running armbian installing.
There's any way to erase and restore the orginal boot, without use the usb cable? using a SD boot to erase the armbian boot? or some comming to do this from the linux running on the device?

[Nuno Cruz]

I have access to a device with the original partition, but not sure how and watch I should get a backup and write on the broken device? A script or anything to put all (or needed) partitions back?

 

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk2  | gzip -c > /path/to/my-disk.image.gz

gunzip -c my-disk.image.gz | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk1

If you followed the instructions exactly, you should have made a full backup before installing the system in eMMC. If you have such a copy, you can easily return the exact state of the eMMC (firmware) at the time before installation. If you didn't make such a copy, you will have to solve all the problems yourself (no one knows what and what state you have in eMMC).

I have a 2 devices, one is like new, original android running, I can get the backup/partitions from there, I just wanted to know if there's any easy way to copy the original from that second device running android and place it in the device running armbian.  
 

I know that I can get a backup, I dont know who to apply this.

Can I just clone the emmc from the android /dev/block/mmcblk2 and write it using the running armbian installation ?

You need to change your habits.

Everything is much simpler on the RK platform. There is no need to activate multi-boot (make changes to the regular firmware to run Armbian). Therefore, you can launch Armbian from an external media on a "clean" TV box (with Android). Run the ddbr utility and create a full compressed copy of eMMC. Connect this media to a "dirty" TV box, run Armbian, and restore the copy from the ddbr utility. The ddbr utility makes an exact copy of the entire eMMC (clones exactly all the bits "as is").

Perfect, is exatcly what I need
I'm still learning, and like many people, it's a mix of research and interaction with experts  thanks for you help. I was missing the ddbr existence

Steps:

1. Burn the image: Armbian_20.05.0_Rk3328-tv_bionic_current_5.6.0-rc4_20200312.img.xz to SD card. 

2. Burn another image: Armbian_5.76_Rk3328-tv_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.154_20190306.img to USB. Note: this box supports USB 2.0 only via the dtb file with this image. Hence, you have to use an USB stick 2.0 (3.0 and 3.1 USB version will not work).

3. Use the dtb rk3328-t9 from hexdump, modifiy etclinux.conf in the USB to read that file.

4. Plug both of them to the board and boot.

 

Hi @Anderson Mores 

Step 1& 2: You can download from balbes yandisk (the first post of this topic) and burn them to the SD card and USB based on the image version respectively. I use rufus to burn those images.

Step 3: For the dtb file: you can search in this topic and download it to your PC, I do not have right to upload the file.  Copy that file to the USB at location /dtb/rockchip. Plug the USB to your PC, go to /etclinux/etclinux.conf replace the line FDT /dtb/rockchip/rk3328-mx10.dtb to FDT /dtb/rockchip/rk3328-t9.dtb.

 

Step 4: It should works well. You should see this log from UART Console log, if you do not have access to the UART console log, just wait about 2 minutes, it should work with the screen via HDMI.

 

P/S: Because this box will not be booted with the Armbian_5.76_Rk3328-tv_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.154_20190306.img if you burn it to SD or USB and use the t9 dtb file (it get stuck at DRAM version forever), hence, applying the above tricks ( 2 different img versions) will work.

Just discovered your post @mkosta!
I have a Leovin HK 1 Max (RK3318 4GB/64GB) and tomorrow i try to booting armbian using your instructions.

Many thanks,

Beppe.

[Beppe]

Hi @hexdump, i have a Leovin HK 1 Max (RK3318 4GB / 64GB) I have good computer skills but I don't understand anything about programming/compiling/decompiling/etc., I tried to do what you wrote but unfortunately without success.
I tried flashing several images of Armbian without being able to start anything from sd... following your post the device boots with the sd inserted ... but in android!
I would like to be able to boot Armbian and then install it on the emmc ... can someone give me some advice?

Thanks so much!
Beppe

[hexdump]

@Beppe - there seem to be boxes which are configured in a way that they simply do not boot from sd card at all and i guess yours is one of them ... it is technically possible to get them working by building a special second stage u-boot which then boots from sd/usb and write it to the right position on emmc, but this is far from trivial and often needs to be adjusted for each box (i did it for a h96max rk3328 h2 which also does not boot from sd by default) - as a result i would recommend you to get another box if that is an option for you and better avoid rk3318 at all as those are really lowest end tv boxes and not really easy to deal with ...

Hi, 
I have a bricked (maybe broken) h96max rk3328 h2, it doesn't boot, I tried to see if was possible to install armbian without luck. The box seems to not have uart pins (maybe not so clear position), there's any trick to make armbian but from sd/usb.??? When I plug box to the PC with a usb cable, the box is detected as unrecognized device, so a assumed an hardware issue, but I belive that is bricked .
