Picked up an Android TV box very cheaply at the thrift store. Looks like it all works. But - and I'm looking for advice here - is it worth trying to flash Linux on it?

It's a Tanix TX-28: rockchip rk3328 (quad core, A53), 4 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC. I remember having an RK-something SBC a while back, and it was a pain to work with

#linux #arm #rk3328

Time to convert #Debian into #Devuan on my #LibreComputer #Renegade #SBC  ​

#rk3328

Continues my struggle with ROC-RK3328-CC (#rk3328) #SBC and #Debian, there is no way I can get #grub working and being read by #uboot! ​

Can anyone make me a #pebcak exorcism?

Please... 

#Iwontbuy #ARM #soc #anymore #exclamationmark

Flashing #OpenBSD on the eMMC module didn't work out. ​

It tries to boot but it ends up shutting down the board instead... ​

Say what you will about raspberry pi's, they work, solid as rocks. Trying for the nth time to do something useful with my 2* #renegade #rk3328 Chinese SBCs, no updated images since 2018 and barely any (translated) documentation.

It's a less fun experience for sure
