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:

  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).

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.

Update image Armbian and Libreelec 20201120.
Author: balbes150    Time: 11/27/2020 16:41
I added support for Station P1 in ArmbianTV (this is a version with improved media capabilities compared to the official Armbian). In the latest version 20201127, almost all hardware works (LAN, WiFi, BT, HDMI  audio, except audio 3'5"). Starting the system is simple, download, unpack, write to SD card and connect to P1, the system starts automatically.

The images to download are located in subdirectories named ArmbianTV

I added Armbian images with the Legacy core to the site (directories with images with this core have the extension "legacy"). This core is based on rockchip 4.4. for the Buster version, there is a special package "media-buster-legacy-rk3399", which installs HW acceleration and a set of additional packages with KODI, Rockchip Gst Playe, etc., with HW acceleration, including for 4K. After starting the Armbian system (Buster-legacy), you can run the command at this link (in the future, this command will change and it will be easier, small bug in the package name and the author will fix it soon). To start KODI, log out and on the Lightdm login screen, select KODI in the upper-right corner of the session menu and log in. Please note that the sound settings and so on, you need to install in the system before starting KODI (it uses the settings that are set before the user logs out to DE).

Please note that the composition of the images has changed. Now the main versions are Debian-12 Sid and Ubuntu-21.04 Hirsute. For Bullseye and Focal, only minimal server images are used (but you can install DE on them yourself). For those who need other versions of the distribution, I recommend using a self-build of the desired version directly on the device itself. To do this, there is a great video on how to build your distribution versions (your images) directly on M1 and P1.

Author: balbes150    Time: 2/11/2021 18:06


Updated the Armbian\ArmbianTV images (20210211) kernel 5.10.15\4.4.

I checked both variants of Buster-legacy + media script on P1 (rk3399). I froze the kernel update, installed the script, checked the HW acceleration, everything works. Including remote control in KODI and on the desktop, analog sound works (by default, the sound level is set low, you need to go to settings and increase the volume), 4k works.

New version of ArmbianTV 20210218. kernel 5.10.17 4.4
An important difference.
I made the transition to the startup system using the settings only in the "extlinux.conf" file. You no longer need to use a lot of complex scripts and intermediate text files to describe the startup process. Setting up the DTB is done by editing the line in "extlinux.conf". There you can also change any other startup parameters (disable BOOTFLASH, add a forced binding to the MAC, etc.). That is, you can now use the officially supported parameter format for "extlinux.conf". I also stop publishing versions of Armbian images, because they differ little from the official versions of images from the Armbian download site (i.e. I remove redundant duplication).

Version 20210226 ArmbianTV.
Fixed NVMe and added a separate DTB for roc-rk3399-pc  with Legacy kernel.
After testing for several weeks u-boot-2021.01 on different rk3399, the transition to u-boot-2021.01 was made

I remind you that the configuration of DTB and other startup parameters is now performed in the file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

Starting the system is similar to starting Armbian\LE. Download the image, unpack it, burn it to a medium SD \ USB, connect it to P1 and turn on the power. At the first start, you need to perform several steps to configure the system.
