(New?) RG353V has issues with ArkOS

Aida-Enna commented 11 months ago

Describe the Issue (If applicable)

ArkOS fails to boot from the image most of the time. I've used a few different MicroSD cards, including an official nintendo themed switch card. I've flashed it using the recommended tool a few times. Another unit I bought for someone else booted right away with the same image and tool on their SD card, so I think it might be a hardware revision or something. I saw something about a new screen?

Once it finally gets to the "the partition will now be expanded" part, it starts partitioning and stops at "File system created successfully." After a few more reboots, it gets back to this point and finishing copying/removing files. After that, reboot just has the ArkOS 2.0 (10162023) text and eventually after a few minutes just goes to a black screen. Reboots after that just sit at the ArkOS logo, usually showing a black screen after but loading into emulation station every few reboots. This is before I added any ROMS.

How can the issue be reproduced? (If applicable)

It happens 9/10 times.

What device are you using?

RG353V (Translucent Purple)

What version of ArkOS are you on?

You can find this during the initial boot process right before the Emulationstation loading screen

I cannot get to this but I'm using the latest precompiled image (10/16).

Anything else you'd like to include that may help to review this issue or feature request?

I'm familiar with linux and programming etc so I'd be willing to try any patches/updates/etc to see if it fixes it. Maybe the new release could help? (I couldn't find a new image).

After some digging, I actually find problem with CPU voltage regulator, now DMESG didn't throw any error and lscpu actually shows that now my unit can capable of 1.9 GHz in ArkOS Old fix is now obsolete and not recommended to use. Use this version instead: rk3566-OC.FIXED-v2.zip

Hey, tried this, seems to be working consistent. If anything changes ill let you know. Thanks for this! :)

Forgive my ignorance but I also have a 535m I open the Boot sector on my MicroSD and I can see rk3566-OC.dtb rk3566-OC.dtb.bright I downloaded the Patched version from this threath rk3566-OC-353M-FIXED.dtb file Should I just drop this new dtb file in the Boot folder, or rename and replace the original dtb files for this fix to work? regards

Hi! Yes, just rename your rk3566-OC.dtb to something like rk3566-OC-old.dtb, place fixed file and rename fixed file to rk3566-OC.dtb

I went the route of going through Anbernic tech support, and they replaced my RG353V unit for free. Now I have no problem running ArkOS using the standard dtb file.

thank you Good news, but my device started up smoothly but suddenly turned off while in use. I hereby report.

I have been testing adjusted dtb file on 353M and no issues so far. Maybe battery life is a little shorter but really not 100% sure.

Sorry but my RG353V still boots to a black screen occasionally with the v2 dtb.

One thing I can't understand: The stock Linux handles both types of screens without issues. What's their trick? Even incompatible, we should at least be able to extract and implement their timings ...

@czapa86 @JMarques90¡Aquí tienes! Probado en mi RG353V, arranca y funciona bien. Y el sonido también funciona 😄. La única diferencia que veo en dtbs es que el RG353M tiene una salida de línea adicional l2spk-r2hp en la sección de códec de audio, lo que parece habilitar la compatibilidad estéreo en dispositivos con chip de audio RK817. Ahora creo que debería funcionar bien. rk3566-OC-353M-FIXED.zip

Hello! First of all thank you for your great work!

I'm 1-2 days away from receiving a rg353ps and I would like to use ArkOS without problems, if it's not too much trouble could you do me the favour of modifying the .dtb file if I attach it to you so I can make the correct configuration and work at 1.8 (the maximum of series if I read correctly) and with the same modification for stereo sound of the rg353m? thanks again!

Hello! Yeah, no problem. But I think you can easily use RG353M file. It works fine on my RG353V, since their hardware is pretty much the same. Unless it is v2 screen. If that so, I'll try to build another dtb for RG353V/VS/M/PS with v2 screen or preferably universal file.

RG353M file will work perfectly fine on RG353PS

Thank you for your answer! indeed I tried the RG353M file and it worked without problems, thanks for the clarification!
