You are right, thanks. I am new to Linux image burning and i was learning from some videos and they were extracting the content of the file. Thank you again for taking a time to answer my question. Do you know if its possible to configure a Mash network using these TV box?
le puedes extraer la SD card, multitool lo graba en la memoria interna. Pero te recomiendo hacer un backup antes de flashear, para volver al estado previo al flash si hay problemas.
Great work, no doubt that Android Boxes are much more cheaper than the cheapest router with USB and it has a lot more RAM, so for USB appliances (file server with external disk drive, bluetooth, and so on) is better choice than a router. I didnt test it yet, but I test ARMBian in a cheap 23 $ X88 pro 10 android box and it works like charm. It would be nice have a standard OpenWRT for those boxs.
I think the key to understand these prices is: These devices are sold more massively than routers, and the cheapest models are hard to sell because people doesnt want it, people often wants android box with netflix drm support and so on, i.e: middle price devices.
These devices have usb 2.0 and even usb 3.0 ports, so in the case of connectivity problems (e.g: if you want a external wifi antenna) you can plug wifi usb, ethernet usb, usb hub, and so on. And even in that case, it would be cheaper and more powerful than same price routers.
@Wyk72 is it a good idea to install armbian and then openwrt in a virtual environment like docker to get maximum advantage of these boxes or there are good reasons just to stick with openwrt?
I installed armbian on my rk3229 Box with legacy kernel 4.19.x because it was possible to use NAND of the box and also wifi sv6052 works with around 35 Mbit/s up and down. USB3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter reaches around 270 Mbit/s and I can use it around this numbers as wireguard headend.
Could you please explain how to set up the vlan configuration and does this make sense with 100Mbit/s bottle neck?
Edit: I forgot to say... Great and awesome work! I wished already a long time that someone is able to port openwrt for these devices! Many thanks
@Wyk72 I installed it according to the instructions , but when i reboot and plug lan into my pc and set ip to 192.168.1.2 . I tried to access 192.168.1.1 but it not woking . Pls help me fix it
Hai @Wyk32. I'm really appreciate with this openwrt project you did for MXQ Pro device. I already follow your tutorial to install openwrt.gz to my device and its fully worked. However, i need to turn on the wi-fi because i really need it. My device was use RTL8189FS wifi-chips modules. I tried the command in forum which is tutorial how to enable the wi-fi, but somehow it was not work for me. This is what i type before :
echo rtl8189fs > /etc/modules.d/rtl8189fs
When i hit enter, the wi-fi still disabled. Can you tell me any ways to enable the wi-fi? Thanks before
Well, running into LXC is another option. I don't know about performance.
I made some interesting tests about VLAN: it's generating way too much interrupts for such a limited hardware platform. So my inital "solution" was getting poor performance.
It's always better to use a simple USB network card for adding physical interfaces.
After checking .ko file, i realize that realtek chipset wi-fi modules especially rtl8189fs have a bunch of problem compatibility with openwrt. I tried searching is that anyone success make a kmod for this wifi-chips, but it seems like no one can do it until now. Btw, this is output of "cat /proc/cmdline" of my devices :
root=PARTUUID=00628e24-02 init=/sbin/init rootwait console=ttyS2,115200 verbose=0 consoleblank=0
