Phoenix OS for RK3288 Firefly looks interesting. Could this be modified to work on the Asus Tinker Board?

Very nice image, based on debian 9 (stretch), autofs runs out of the box.

I tryed some iptables comands, seems to be working, so openvpn shoud work (not tested).

But no WIFI. 

@gooze74, pls try to implement WIFI and bluetooth.

Thanks, a lot for that image ...

Thanks @gooze74 for this nice image.

I'm trying to install Kodi but it crash all the time. I installed gdb that was missing regard to the crashlog but it still crashing. Something with missing core file in home/linaro/core.
Do you have any solution about this.
I´m newbie in linux but learning every day

Just a note to those making .img : please consider use zip (or gz)

.img files tend to compress well, and programs like http://Etcher.io  can burn straight from a zip file
e.g.  goose74's 1.8GB image compresses down to 600MB zip.

...and THANKS for the work !

Looks promising!

Compared to TOS 1.6b it feels fresh - just some minor issues like HDMI-resolution and inability to unlock/change time/date settings

I did not have any issue installing Kodi and I am able to play everything really smoothly. However, I experienced similar issues when updating the system (sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) which broke some of the X server features.

For the moment, the kernel supporting WIFI and bluetooth is really outdated compared to the one used in this image. The rockchip team tends to update their kernel according to their MPP library and their Xserver. So I prefered to make an image without wifi & bluetooth for stability anf features.
It is still possible to try to have WIFI and bluetooth by following my tutorial and selecting the branch "release-20160818-miniarm" of the Rockchip kernel repository or compiling from the official kernel sources directly from my image (http://tinkerboarding.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=66).

If Asus would do ChromeOS for tinker board, this would be an awesome chromebox
