<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Hi, can someone please help me install armbian? Badly need it for our final project.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> 😭😭😭
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> What SBC do you want to install Armbian on?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I dont know what SBC means. But my tv box has rk3229
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Single board computer
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> What exact model is your TV Box?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> X96 mini
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> But I think, I bought the fake one. The package says it has 2gb ram, but when I checked it, it has only 1gb of ram.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Ah, the one I linked to is a S905X chip, not a rockchip. Odd
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I'll send you the details.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> That said, it's the blind leading the blind here, since I've never installed Armbian on anything LOL (But I will tonight)
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> It says ARM cortex a53, but its only cortex a7
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Does it have a microSD slot?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yes it has
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I think i bought the fake one.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Can I still install armbian?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'm not sure yet. Maybe?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Help me please 😭
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Are you okay with trying something that would wipe the stock android install?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yes, anything as long as it helps me 😭
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I need to install apache2, ssh, and mariadb.
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> Can you take a picture of the board after taking off the case?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Okk, wait.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'm a complete noob and I have barely any idea what I'm doing, but I think one of the images here could help. Hold on, I'll link you one
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> https://imola.armbian.com/dl/rk322x-box/archive/ Bookworm is debian based, Jammy is Ubuntu based.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I will try this one, thank you so much!
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I'll let you know when it works.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I've tried all of it, not working.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Also, read the forum post I linked. You'll need to find out if you have emmc NAND or eMCP
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I mean, i've been installing it befote.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> And it looks like it's more complicated than just sticking an SD card in.
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> It's hard to tell what soc it has.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> What is soc?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> System on a chip
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Can you send us a pic of the back of the board?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Ohhh, it says rk3229 on device info hw
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Is it accurate?
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> Is the heatsink removable?
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> The cpu it's using.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Nope, its glued so much i think
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Try checking the back of the PCB, see if there's anything on the other side
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Okk, i will remove it now.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I will buy screw driver to open it. Please dont sleep 😭
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> this box?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Nope
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I'll send the link here
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> https://shp.ee/733amip
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> This one
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> When you say you tried all if it, did you follow the forum post instructions to burn the multitool image onto an SD card?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yesyes, but the armbian.img is not showing.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Wait, so does the box boot with that multitool sd card?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> We tried to reboot it too, still no img to be found.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> It does.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Okay, let me think for a second
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> If you put it in the images folder...
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Maybe its' because the images were compressed with .xz
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> So, you downloaded something like
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Armbian_23.5.1_Rk322x-box_bookworm_current_6.1.30.img.xz and put it straight in the images folder, right?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Wait let me check.
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> It's said to be Amlogic S905W
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> Not a rockchip board.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Well, Chinese suppliers like these can SAY anything they want
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yes but it says rockchip on device info hw
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> And we tried installing amlogic s905w armbian, and it didnt work.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> @xyyhaa Does your computer have 7z installed?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> As in, it wouldn't even boot properly? In what way did it not work
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> @xyyhaa Does your computer have 7zip installed?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Nope, I use winrar.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> It's not booting.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Nothing happens.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Okay, use Winrar to extract the name.img.xz file.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Then put the resulting name.img file in the images file on the SD card
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Well, that certainly seems like it's rockchip too me. I think.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> It's .img
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Are you saying that you already tried that?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Can we know the cpu if we check the backside of the board?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yes 😭
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> We've been doing that ever since.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Maybe. We could try
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Okkk, please dont sleep.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I will get one.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> While you're at it, get a picture of the text on this chip. I can't read it. I'm not sure if that's a memory module or a storage module
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> Take off the heatsink, you can tell what cpu it is using.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> But its glued so much.
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> it seems to be the emmc storage module.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> It says samsung
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Samsung makes memory too
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Not just storage
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'd like a picture of all the text on it, or just type out the text
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Please dont sleep 😭😭😭
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Ill buy screw driver
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> emmc
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Ok, now we need to figure out why that multitool isn't showing the img
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Also, try one of these images: https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/tag/23.05.0-trunk-e33842ef2
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> yeah that samsung chip is a 16GB EMMC
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> @xyyhaa any updates?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Hi, i just got home.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I'll open it now.
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> *can't think if he has any "closed" sbcs anymore lol*
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I remounted all mine in homemade racks lol
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yeah, especially if you have any with Allwinner chips. Those get hot, so I hear
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @ajshell1 I've just been doing this forever so they all sit beside me... I need room....
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Can we remove the heatsink using a heat gun or blower?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> wow they really got that thing "obscured"
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Honestly, I'm willing to believe that it's a rockchip. Does the multitool give you any information about the board?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> And try one of these images
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Being an android tv box... With either AW or RK most of the core to just boot it will be baked in one of the the 2 images so it should be at least easy to find "which" type it is.
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> then isolating more afterwards will be easier
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I know those Android kernels tend to throw in everything so unless we are stripping them down (which I don't "think" is happening) start with one.. if it doesn't work.. try the other
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> We havent checked.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> We dont know how to 😭
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I don't have a tv box like this, so I don't know what the multitool looks like
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> there's a forum category about these
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> (I have a few...I just build software for them... don't use them though)
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> All I have to test with is a T95 Mini, which I only bought because of Innovato's Quadra
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Do you want to see it?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yes please
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Okk, wait.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Sending
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> You might be able to get CPU info from the bash shell
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Try doing that and running "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Or "dmidecode -t baseboard"
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Or "lscpu"
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Sheesh im so dumb
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Try this one
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Command not found
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Crap, figures.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Information not enough?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> No, it doesn't tell me the CPU model. Not your fault
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> How about "dmesg | grep 33"
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> How about "dmesg | grep 32"
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> How about "dmesg | grep 322"
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Lscpu worked tho
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Did it say "Rockchip 3228" or something like that?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Dang, it only tells us Cortex-A53
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Dang, it only tells us Cortex-A7
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Machine model: Generic RK322x tv box board
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> This worked too
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Okay, then it probably is one
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Now, have you tried sticking one of these images on the SD card?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I will try now.
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> just a sec...
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> do you still have it booted?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> The tool???
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Multi tool???
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yes, that's what he's talking about
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> found it... its one of those "unofficial chips"
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Ohhhh
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> U want me to boot it again?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Is it impossible to install armbian?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'm pretty sure it is possible
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Ohhh okokkk
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> looks like its a Fake AMLogic S905W
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I will now insert this.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Makes sense, that's what it was advertised as
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yes its fake. I got scammed 😭
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> @ajshell1 should I insert it now?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> bummer... sorry to hear 😦
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I still see hope
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Indeed...
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yes, unless Tenkawa has any other ideas first
<DC-IRC> <EfeCTN> Lol
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Im flashing it now
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Since I don't know what they really threw in there.... who knows
<DC-IRC> <EfeCTN> Tvboxes are really awful
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Seems to be getting worse too
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I know, but i cant help it since its our final project this sem.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Our professor is really old school
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yeah, at least with shitbox RasPi clones you usually get at minimum a previous debian release image that will work
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I wish Broadcom hadn't dropped the ballon their "learning" computers
<DC-IRC> <EfeCTN> Doesn't he/she allow sbc?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> but don't get me started on Broadcom....
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> xyyhaa appears to be from the Philippines
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> So he/she probably couldn't afford a Pi...
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yesyes, we bought something thats cheap.
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @xyyhaa there are some "decent" tvboxes out there... but as you see.. some really bad ones
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> @ajshell1 do i have to put it on multi tool?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Or i flash it directly?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yes, I would try putting it in the images directory in the multitool
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'd also do the "Backup flash" first
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @ajshell1 hey... I was going to ask.. where did multitool come from? nice ncurses interface.. (I do everything manually usually but I thought I'd take a look if the utility is available)
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> That way, if we fail, you can still restore it usable TV box, which you could sell or something
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> ncurses/dialog
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I have no idea. This thread is where I found it: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12656-csc-armbian-for-rk322x-tv-boxes/
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Jock appears to have written it
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Is there other environment aside armbian?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I doubt you'll have much luck with anything else
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I honestly just need to install ssh, mariadb, and apache2.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Did it work?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> The multitool thing
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Still extracting.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Doing it now.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Okay. Keep me updated
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> There are no emmc devices suitable for image burn.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Uh oh
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Should I reboot it?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Can I install it using bash shell?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'm going to look into that. Give me a minute
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Okkk
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Should I remove the heat sink?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Maybe. That might help us identify the CPU
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Or it'll make it harder to cool once we get it working
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> But will it still work?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yes
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Alright, i'll risk it.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> How to safely remove it???
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Wait, don't remove it yet
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Start it up with the multitool and go to bash
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Ohhh okokkk
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> then run lsblk
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Also, did the backup or the flash command fail earlier?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> It just says that no suitable device to burn
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Does the "backup command" say "There are no eMMC devices suitable for backup"?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yesyes
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Uh, just to confirm, is your micro SD card a 32 GB card?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yes, 32gb kingston
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Then it looks like it's only seeing your SD card, not the storage on the tv box
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Should I change it?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I have 64gb kingston too
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> No, changing the SD card probably won't do anything
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'd suggest flashing one of the armbian images to an SD card, sticking it in the tv box and seeing what happens
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Nothing happened
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Thinkg that would work @Tenkawa
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I tried it before flashing multi tool
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I flashed it directly to the sdcard and nothing happened.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Tv's display "check device if it has power"
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I think i need to find the right version.
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Okay, I'd like you to do something
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> While in bash, do "dmesg > log"
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> While in bash, do "dmesg > log.txt"
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Then, I'll need you to transfer that log.txt file to your PC and upload it
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> How to do it? 😭
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> You'll need to install filezilla on your PC, and connect to the IP address of your tv box, root user, no password, port 22
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I dont have ethernet
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Can i use usb thetering for network?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'm not sure...
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Wait, I think I found a guy with your issue: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15665-new-x96mini-hardware-upgraded-but-no-emmc-found/
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Want me to take a picture of the dmesg?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I cant seem to transfer the log.txt
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> wait, I have an idea
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> you can save it into the images directory
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I have an idea. Hold on asecond
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I have an idea. Hold on a second
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> First, run this command: mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Then dmesg > /mnt/log.txt
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> then "umount /dev/mmcblk0p1"
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Then turn off the machine, and stick the SD card in your PC. You should see the log file
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Cant find in /etc/fstab
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Dang, why is that? It shouldn't give that message
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt ;
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt -o remount
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> mount point is not a directory
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> mkdir -p /mnt
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> No ,that might not work
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> do "mkdir -p /mount"
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> then "mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mount -o remount"
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Cannot create directory /mount : Read-Only file system.
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @ajshell1 you typoed
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> mkdir -p /mount
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Should I try this?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yeah, I dunno
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> The point is that you want to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 SOMEWHERE
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> And then put the log file on it
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> if you want that mount cmd to work yes... you were trying to mount /mnt on /mount
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> it was a typo
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> do "mkdir -p /mount"
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> then "mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mount -o remount"
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> note the typo?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> look abive
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> er above
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> it says /mnt a few lines before
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> @Tenkawa What do you think about this? https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15665-new-x96mini-hardware-upgraded-but-no-emmc-found/
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> It looks like what he's having issues with too. How hard would it be to modify the multitool image to accommodate this?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I see your correction though next line.. just saw it
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> (reading post.... just a sec)
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> ahh the dtb timing issue
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> timing and routing
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> yeah that could very possibly be it
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> it could internally think its mmcblk1
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> (a lot of these do)
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Please help the dude, Tenkawa. I'm nearing the end of my rope here LOL
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> @Tenkawa is it still possible to install armbian? 😭
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Please help me 😭
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> so the devicetree needs to rename it to blk0 before its presented to the os
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> In theory... yes.. just the fact that it gets this far is a good sign... does it have any usb ports on it?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yes, I saw some
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yes it has
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Even that may be one way to reroute the dtb to install it
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> if you have a usb thumb drive
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Like an OTG?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> nah.. just normal thumbdrive
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Like, are you talking mounting the dtb file overtop of the existing system? Like a unionfs?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @ajshell1 nah.. just run it completely from the usb
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I do it with several here
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Like, install the armbian onto the USB?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> yes
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> But will it boot from the USB?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Some of these will some wont
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> the first test is flash it to one and see if it will boot
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I only have 4gb.
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> yeah thats fairly small
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Will an OTG type of flash drive work?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> OTG are hit and miss
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Damn, i only have otg type of flash drives.
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Know any model names/#'s?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I'll see if I have them... I have a lot of them
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I dont know any
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Im really bad at this subject 🥲
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> But im interested to learn tho
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> nah.. you are trying to learn.... that automaticly makes you not bad in my opinion
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I've been doing this 40+ years
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Yeah. You're a good guy @xyyhaa
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> You too, thanks for helping me 😭
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I still need help tho 😭
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'll do my best for as long as I can
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> np... lets see... so it thinks its Amlogic...
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> (but its not)
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I wonder...
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I have another image I could give you I think you could try to load I think to see if it will start
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Okokkk
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Its not Armbian (its a custom build of Debian) but it might tell us more... let me ask my other dev real quick
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Okkk, thank you so much!!!
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> np
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Seriously, thank you. For his sake too
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I've put in a query.. I'll let you know if we can build for that soc/sbc or not once he responds
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Okokkk, ill wait.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> For the meantime, what should I do?
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Not really sure.. I would start reading up as much as you can on the tv box specific forum
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I've read CSC forum, one where jock is the author.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I understood some of the comments.
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Ah.. I think there's another 2-3 people who work on them a lot now
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> What I think the problem is, probably the compatibility issue.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I think I need to find the right armbian version.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Or not???
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I've been installing the legacy builds for rk322x, but none of them worked.
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> @Tenkawa
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I ripped out the heat sink
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> It says allwinner h313
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Crazy
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> WHAT
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Yes
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Is still possible to install???
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> That can't be right. The H313 is an A53 CPU
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> I dont know if you can see it but its all winner h313
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I can see
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> @ajshell1 is it still possible?
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I don't know
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> Hold on a second
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'm starting to think that the answer is no
<DC-IRC> <ajshell1> I'm sorry
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> Why?
<DC-IRC> <xyyhaa> 😭😭😭
<DC-IRC> <Werner> Besides the fact that this is the wrong channel for Allwinner stuff I don't think we have any code for h313 in the build framework (yet). At least I am not aware of.
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @werner about 75% of it was trying to figure out what this "mislabeled" device was
<DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> This is one of those "its not what they are really selling" devices
