13:33 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <oneotherguy> Hello there, I'm trying to add Arabian to my rk3229 mxq pro chip using multitool, however when I run it the screen flickers, might anyone know that cause and solution?

13:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> #tvboxes and most of us don't speak arabian

13:53 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> i'm hoping that's mobile autocorrect and not a request for proper Arabic localisation

14:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <oneotherguy> Arabian?

14:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <oneotherguy> Hello there, I'm trying to add Armbian to my rk3229 mxq pro chip using multitool, however when I run it the screen flickers, might anyone know that cause and solution?

14:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <oneotherguy> Yeah sorry mb Armbian was auto corrected to arabian

14:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> either way, #tvboxes - there's absolutely zero consistency with tvboxes

14:10 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <oneotherguy> Ok mb. Thought since there was alot of documentation on TV boxes like b860h and hg680 that other tv boxes would have documentations aswell

14:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> even those tv boxes have 5+ hardware versions each all based on entirely different designs with different chipsets

15:15 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <oneotherguy> Yeah but it's way more widely supported

15:20 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> not really, there's a broken android build from the manufacturer and they're abandoned pretty much immediately

15:20 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> "supported" is not the word

15:21 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <oneotherguy> Community supported? Idk but in Indonesia there's an fb group with more than 5x the members of this discord

15:21 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <oneotherguy> Community supported? Idk but in Indonesia there's an fb group with more than 7x the members of this discord

15:23 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> facebook group membership numbers are literally meaningless, and we've made it clear we can't support tvboxes because the manufacturers don't even support them

16:50 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> I think more then 90% of general Linux users does not understand those specific problems and don't have knowledge needed to deal with this. Or simply don't want to waste time maintaining e-waste for strangers. You will probably need look into generic Linux groups with 50-100x bigger member count to match ratio in our small group. And we already can't deal with this. Most of quest <clipped message>

16:50 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> ions there are, are very expensive (days) to answer ... Who have such luxury?

17:41 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> I will not be surprised if tvboxbian distro will eventually be made lol

17:42 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> it'll support two really obscure boxes only sold through an ISP somewhere in Asia for exactly three weeks in 2012

18:00 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> This kinda reminds me of the roster of devices openwrt supports. A lot of low-power devices with barely 128MB of disk space (usually - much worse)

18:00 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> But it is also supported on SBCs, and there are SBCs intended for router use

18:03 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> at least wireless routers are mostly documented, and the low-power chips are a lot easier to adapt for

18:04 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> I've opened my last router up and I bet I can make a schematic just by looking at it

18:08 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> i don't think so. you need bigger dev capacity and more troubles. its dead end. there are few single person projects that are doing something, but this is far from real distro

18:10 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> two-layer PCB with thru-hole everything?

18:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> Some SMD stuff as well
