Unofficial LE for RK356x RK3328\RK3399 RK3588(s)

Quote from fedes_gl

There are no open source for rk3528, as I understand. Please anybody correct me if I'm wrong!

There are unofficial Armbian ports; Almost everything works except the usual quirky stuff that TV boxes have.

It's the first time I hear of RK3528

Has been out for a while; Android 13 TV boxes that use it are super cheap: 15~20€ (during promo sales) for 4GB/32GB.

Good enough for Klipper or similar stuff.

Yes I have been reading those posts on their forums and also uploaded my RK3528 board there. I hope to be booting armbian or other linux based OS soon

I have a NanoPi-r6c laying around, seeing this thread made me happy, yay!

The SOC is a RK3588s that is about 50% supported 30% wip 20% todo if I read this right

so these images are a godsend at this stage of development afaict.

Maybe replacing the u-boot, dtb and kernel then cross fingers and see how far it boots would be a good way to spend my time on this Sunday.

Which of the images would be a good starting point?

These are not official test images for the RK33xx and rk356x rk3588(s).

Pay attention. Starting from version (20200826), the configuration order for the used DTB changes.

Please note that the algorithm for initial configuration of the system for startup has changed. Instead of a file "uEnv.txt", the file "/extlinux/extlinux.conf " is now used. The rules for editing a file remain the same.

After writing the image, you must correctly configure the DTB used in the file uEnv.txt

kernel 5.

Images rk3328 and r3399 and 3288 are universal, when starting from USB media images are interchangeable (the only difference is used for the image u-boot and UART console output settings). Tar archives for updating are also universal.

Note that the new generic images now use a single download directory.

Important. Changed the directory location of the images. Now all images (for all supported platforms) are in one place.

Add u-boot to SD card

If you have any working system on the SD card that starts normally, you will be able to check the LE. You need to try to replace the u-boot in LE, on the version with a working SD card. You need to perform a few additional steps when preparing an SD card.

1. Remove from working SD card u-boot. This can be done with this command on a Linux PC.

dd if=/dev/<name_you_SD_works_card> of=u-boot-rockpro.img bs=1M count=16

2. Write LE to SD card, configure DTB and replace u-boot with taken from working SD card. U-boot replacement is performed by two commands.

dd if=u-boot-rockpro.img of=/dev/<new_SD_card_LE> conv=fsync bs=1 count=442

dd if=u-boot-rockpro.img of=/dev/<new_SD_card_LE> conv=fsync bs=512 skip=1 seek=1

After that, you can try running LE on RockPro. The last two commands write a working u-boot and save the existing partition table for the system written to the SD card. By the way, in the same way you can replace u-boot for Armbian system and check the start of any image.

This means that if I have the Orange pi 3b (Rk 3566), I should edit that file you say???

Follow up on an old post - the issue was caused by the bootloader. It was (I presume) setting some values that the standard build was expecting to be set to default.

Updating the bootloader to the newest manufactures version enabled HDMI sound with the official build

Hello,

searching through this thread it is not clear for me .... does the RK3588 version work on Orange Pi 5B boards? If so, which image from the 20240607-rk3588 directory would you suggest or which should I use.

Thank you.
