Armbian and LibreELEC for rk3399

balbes150

I checked running the latest versions of ArmbianTV and Libreelec on roc-pc-rk3399. The systems start up and work well. If desired, you can install these systems on eMMC or NVMe. You can find out more about how to do this in these topics.

New versions of Armbian and Libreelec. Checked the launch on Firefly Station P1. all the main equipment (LAN, WiFi, BT, sound HDMI) Works except for the analog audio output. Important difference between the new versions. After writing the image to the SD card, you no longer need to make changes to the extlinux settings to run, all the necessary settings are already in the images. Download links for new versions are now located here. Dir Firefly_station_p1

Thank you for these builds babels150! However as a new owner of  Firefly Station P1 I am not sure how to boot from MicroSD or USB. Any tips? The wiki does not have a page yet for the Firefly Station P1, but I am eager to test these.

So far I have tried this to boot from MicroSD:

1. 
   
2. unxz Armbian_20.11.0-trunk_Roc-rk3399-pc_buster_current_5.8.16.img.xz
   
3. dd if=Armbian_20.11.0-trunk_Roc-rk3399-pc_buster_current_5.8.16.img of=/dev/sdb
   
4. *Insert microSD*
   
5. Machine does not boot (or no HDMI output?)
   

Copy the code

If possible I would prefer boot live from USB prior to flashing. Please let me know.

Previously, I have already encountered that users had problems when starting the system from an SD card on different models, if they used the DD utility to write the image (there is a topic on the Armbian forum where many users write about this). Try using specialized programs for writing images to the SD card to write the image. More important information. There is no power button on P1, and after turning off the LE \ Armbian system, to quickly re-enable it, you need to either disconnect the power connector from P1 itself, or pull the power supply out of the socket and wait a few (3-5)  minutes (until the circuits in P1 self-discharge).

Starting from USB only works in boot loaders that are used in LE and Armbian. This means that if you want to save Android and run systems from USB, you need to additionally (along with the USB media) connect the SD card on which LE or Armbian is recorded. If you install a LE or Armbian system in eMMC, there will also be the installation of a new u-boot with support for starting from USB, and then you can start systems from USB without an SD card.

Important information. To run LE and Armbian correctly from an SD card, the SD card must not have a GPT table. If any systems with GPT were previously written to this SD card, you must completely clear the entire SD card (or clear the last sectors where the GPT backup is stored).

Libreelec ver 2020111 kernel 5.9.7

Detected flaws. Restart does not work, you need to turn off the power supply.

ArmbianTV ver 20.11

To enable BT in Armbian, you need to install the full firmware package. This can be easily done either through the "armbian-config" or through the standard DEB package  (apt install armbian-firmware-full)  installation tools. After installing the firmware, turn on BT and restart the system.

This is not a firmware for the android tool, it is an independent system for launching from external media and the possibility of subsequent installation in eMMC (instead of Android).
To start, you need to follow a few simple steps.
1. to download the image.
2. Unpack.
3. Write a special program (which records ISO images) to the SD card.
4. Connect the SD card and turn on the power.
