Describe the bug | 问题描述
dmesg repeatedly logs a phy_poll_reset for the RTL8211F (snippet below).. also provided a couple of other outputs I've seen asked for on other issues.. let me know if there's anything more I need to provide for assistance.. thanks in advance!

Is this a multi-port device? Is it showing this error no matter which port you plug it into? Or is it specific to a particular port? Try installing the latest firmware.

Is this a multi-port device? Is it showing this error no matter which port you plug it into? Or is it specific to a particular port? Try installing the latest firmware.

Yes, it is multi-port (2x 1g, 2x 2.5g) but I'm currently using the WLAN, so not even plugged into ethernet presently. Also note that eth1-3 show up correctly in ifconfig, but eth0 is not present (snippet below)... lspci also does not seem to show the RTL8211F at all, just the 2.5g RTL8125's (snippet below)

When you say 'install the latest firmware' can you be more specific?

Thanks for the help!

(bump)

Any additional help here?

I tested hard-wired connection and the first ethernet port (eth0) does absolutely nothing.. eth1-3 work as expected.

[ddscentral]

What is the reason support for these boxes was removed ?

[DrNoCDN]

+1 Would also like to know why the H68K has been dropped from the builds

[DrNoCDN]

@ddscentral

What is the reason support for these boxes was removed ?

FYI - I see that Hinlink support was officially dropped in this commit 2e665a1. I have asked there for a reason for them being dropped (hoping for a reply).

[ddscentral]

unifreq/linux-6.1.y@cbd2888
Dropped from kernel as well.

[ophub]

The hlink series devices have been re-added.

Hello,

Today, is it possible armbian work very well inside theese Smart TV Box Android 13 RK3528 (aliexpress links):

• LEMFO HK1RBOX K8S : Dual Wifi BT4.0 4Go+64Go
• Transpeed MX10 : Dual Wifi BT5.0 4Go+128Go
• DQ08 : Dual Wifi BT4.0 4Go+64Go
• X88 Pro 13 : Dual Wifi BT5.0 4Go+64Go
• H96 Max : Dual Wifi BT5.0 4Go+64Go
• and many others

about RAM : some vendors say 4Go DDR3 and other 4Go DDR4
about memory : some vendors say emmc and other nothing
about BlueTooth : some vendors say 4.0 and other 5.0
about USB : some vendors say 2 x USB 2 and other 1 x UBS 2 + 1 x USB3
about TF : some vendors say 64Go and other 128Go
about clock : some have display and other no display
about ethernet : generaly 100 and few 1000

What change between 5.10.160-rk35xx-flippy-2403b.tar.gz 79.6MB 08 Mars 2024 and 5.10.160.tar.gz 90.7MB 13 April 2024 ?

If you need buy one, what is your choice and why ?
Thank you.

Hello
I have got this box [LEMFO HK1RBOX K8S : Dual Wifi BT4.0 4Go+64Go]
Which image and which dtb should I use and what does work (e.g. ethernet, wifi, emmc boot etc)?
Thanks for your reply

[okpapt]

Hello Farid,
Because nobody answer me, I do not bought tv box having rk3568 cpu.
Install AIDA64 on your android tv box and collect technicals informations.
This can help you to find solution.
I cannot help you more.
Sorry.
If you want try something, be carefull, make backup of original firmware.
Take many notes about what you do...
Good luck.

Hi Okpapt!

Thanks for your reply!

I could flash an img, which could boot, but I had no ethernet or wifi working.

Hello,

This is a very interesting question you ask, and I think there are many of us that want to buy a box with ready image. Unfortunately most of us are not linux savvy, and we can't contribute much to building such image and help the author of this development effort. Knowledge and time is needed for extracting stuff like DTB, compiling drivers, trying and debugging kernels, etc. etc. What I am saying if one needs funcional box, one needs to choose box from the supported list. There are not many such boxes with RK3528, only the H96-Max-M2. It's a RK3528 box that is more expensive than the ones from your list below, but as far as it's thread states - it should work right out of box so to say (and I guess it's more expensive specifically for that same reason). Of course, you still need to know how to work with the right software to put the image in there.

Sorry for the offtopic post, I guess separate thread would be more appropriate.

Best Regards to everybody
