I have tried the latest Rikomagic firmware on the H96MAX (RK3399), X99, CSA96 and obviously also on the MK39. It runs very stable on the H96MAX and MK39. On the X99 it runs a bit less stable. Sometimes the screen is frozen and I need to cut power to reboot. Booting also takes around 1min50 secs against 10 to 15 seconds on the H96MAX and MK39. X99 has 64 gb of storage which is the reason why I bought it. As I only boot once or twice a day I can accept waiting one and a half minute more during booting. The CSA96 is similar as the X99 but takes a bit less to boot, about 40 seconds.
You can download the Mk39 firmware from the "Rikomagic official site" or here:
I found that burning a SD card gives best results for flashing the firmware. Using a usb cable and a Windows PC also works but seems less reliable. In the past Rikomagic provided a link on how to properly burn a SD card for flashing, but I did not see it now. If you are unsure, I should be able to find it back.
I have also tried the N6 firmwares on the H96MAX and the CSA96. The flashing worked, but I did not like the firmwares at all. To me they were a step backwards.
So if the N6 firmwares can be installed on other RK3399 boards, it should also be possible to install firmwares from those machines on the N6.
Make sure you got a N6 firmware to revert back in case there is a problem.
Please also bear in mind, that my requirements may be different from yours. I use the MK39 mainly as replacement of a PC and besides that ocasionally as a TV box.
Good luck.
