In sdcard I have libreelec 100% working for my rk3318.
In nand I have 100% Armbian running, installed with multitool.
I want to have libreelec in nand but I can't install it because brick.

Maybe I am wrong or I misanderstood your problem, but...........
Are you trying to burn a libreelec image made for 3228 with multitool 3318 on a 3318 device ?
I suppose it is quite obvious your device is bricked after , they are two totally different devices and platforms
322x ( 3228 3228a 3229 ) are 32 bit
3318 is 64 bit
diferent ddrbin different uboot different ALL
If I misanderstood your problem, then sorry !Hello.
No, I am trying to install libreelec image rk3318 on my rk3318's nand with rk3318 multitool. But like I say it doesn't work. Brick.
I simply took advantage of a conversation in this thread where it said that there were 3 methods to do it:
-rkdevtool (I haven't tested it).
-multitool (this method does not work for me).
-dd commands (is what I'm really asking).Thanks for your answer.
Greetings.

What kind of problem are you having with the Armbian multitool? I just flashed the NAND with this last version on my MXQ Pro using the multi tool... YMMV
Here are some modified instructions from https://www.armbian.com/rk322x-tv-box/ :
- Build or download your preferred Kodi image and a copy of the Multitool;
- Burn the Multitool on an SD card; once done, place the uncompressed (i.e. no .gz extension) Kodi image file in images folder of the SD card FAT partition;
- Plug the SD card in the TV box and plug in the power cord. After some
seconds the blue led starts blinking and the Multitool appears; - OPTIONAL: you can do a backup of the existing firmware with “Backup flash” menu option; (this takes a while; 1+ hour)
- From main menu select "Burn image to flash"
- Select target device, probably "rknand0"
- Select source image, should be the image that you put in the images folder from step 2
- For the next question "Do you want to skip idbloader sectors?" I selected "Yes"
- Once the flash is complete, remove the sdcard and select "Reboot"
- At this point it should load Kodi disk setup, then reboot again to Kodi setup

Hello.
Thanks for your reply.In my case, as I said, it is a RK3318 device and as expected multitool from its link cannot start on my RK3318.
On the contrary I use multitool for RK3318 / RK3328 from this link and it works perfectly to install Armbian in nand, but I can't install Libreelec because it brick the device. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17597-cs…-tv-box-boards/
That is why it asked him how to install in nand with dd commands.
Thanks again for your reply.

Hi ushilives, you can install on NAND in many ways:
- use rkdevelop tool (hard)
- dd from a working libreelec (medium)
- use the great multitool from armbian port (easy)
Installing on NAND should make the boot a bit faster, but the major issue is that in order to update the image you need to upload it manually via ssh (or burn again).
This is because I didn't setup yet an update site for my builds.
p.s.obviusly, if you install libreelec on NAND, you will lost the stock firmware of your box.
Hello, I saw this message and I was wondering if you could explain how to install in nand with the DD method.
My device is RK3318 and with the Armbian multitool I can't do it.
With rkdevelop tool I have not tried it yet, but I think it would be easier and more comfortable to do it with DD.
Can you help me? Thank you.

Here is the proper file for 4330 and 4334
Hello RetroFan90
Bluetooth can't get it to work yet, I don't know if it depends on a new dtb file or the kernel. Or just need to add the driver, but I could never get it to work.
Anyway, my tvbox 99% works, everything works perfectly except the Bluetooth and being able to install Libreelec in the internal memory.
I hope the developers can help us here.

At a quick scan I can’t see hci, Bluetooth, or bt in the kernel dmesg. Is the DTB file enabled to support a Bluetooth device?
Hello heitbaum
I really don't know, the DTB file was not made for me. I only tried to use this Armbian DTB in Libreelec and everything works except BT.In Armbian BT does not work either.
Greetings.

Creating a functional dtb will be trivial once someone writes a functional kernel for RK3318. The horse needs to come before the cart.
Hello Chewitt.
Kernel is already functional as I teach you in this post. DTB also seems to work very well, but lack of BT.Thank you for your great work.

I wanted to tell you that I have news about Libreelec on my HK1 Super device and at the same time ask for your help.
I have managed to run Libreelec on a sdcard on my RK3318 tvbox with almost 100% effectiveness. These are the updated data:
As before, to boot any Libreelec image on sdcard you always have to install any Armbian image in internal memory first with the multitool tool. If we have the memory with Android or the internal memory erased, Libreelec does not start.
In this case I am using official LE11 community versions. https://test.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RK33…f3241-a1.img.gz
And now I use the following Armbian DTB rk3318-box.dtb, attached to this post. I must also use the /storage/.config/firmware/brcm folder with the driver for WIFI to work, also attached to this post.
Video decoding HW --- OK
Led --- OK
Ethernet --- OK
SSH and SFTP --- OK
WIFI --- OK
Bluetooth --- NO. (I ask for your help to fix this and I am attaching a new log and dmesg. Pictures of the hardware can be seen in my previous post).
Installing Libreelec in internal memory makes the tvbox brick, I would like to fix that.
I wonder if with this data they can support this RK3318 (HK1 Super) tvbox or add the DTB and WIFI / Bluetooth driver to future images.
Thank you for your work, it is excellent and wonderful.

These are the tests that I have carried out with my RK3318 (HK1 SUPER):
To boot any Libreelec image on sdcard, you must always first install any Armbian image in internal memory with the multitool. If we have the memory with Android or the internal memory erased, Libreelec does not start.
In LE10 official Libreelec versions you have to inject trust.img, in LE11 development versions of Balbes150 trust.img is already included.
I have to use the DTB rk3318-a95x-z2.dtb and everything works great:
Video decoding HW --- OK
Led --- OK
Ethernet --- OK
SSH and SFTP --- OK
Remote control --- OK
WIFI or Bluetooth --- NO. (Attached log and dmesg. I also attach photos of the hardware).
Installing Libreelec in internal memory makes the tvbox brick. With Multitool, Armbian and bridge on the board it is easily unbrickeable. I haven't tried this yet: https://forum.libreelec.tv/user-post-list/27218-jps1x2/

I have a rockchip rk3318 and I would like to be able to install Libreelec.
Otherwise this tvbox does not work for me.Would it be possible?.
Any info on how to create functional dtb for rk3318?.
