An open source firmware for the Anbernic RG351P.
- A 64bit Firmware optimized for the RK3326 CPU and 320x480 display found in the RG351P.
- Fully Open Source with a wonderful community of users and contributors.
- An up-to-date and fresh user interface
- Optimized defaults allowing you to pick up and play
- A FAT32 games partition easilly accessible from Linux, Windows and MacOS.
351ELEC is a fork of EmuELEC which is based on CoreELEC, Lakka, and Batocera. It is intended for use only on the RG351P and is not compatible with other devices.
351ELEC minimally requires an 8GB MicroSD, however the experience will be limited. For an optimal configuration 32GB or more is recommended.
To install the most recent stable release, start by downloading the latest 351ELEC-RG351P.aarch64-{version}.img.gz from the Releases section.
- Decompress the image
- Write the image to a microSD using your favorite image writer
On the first boot, 351ELEC will expand the storage and games partitions and then reboot to configure the firmware. It's normal for this process to take a minute or two. After setting up for the first time, subsequent boots will be much faster.

Building 351ELEC from source is a fairly simple process. It is recommended to have a minimum of 4 cores, 16GB of RAM, and an SSD with 200GB of free space. The build environment used to develop these steps uses Ubuntu 20.04, your mileage may vary when building on other distributions.

cd 351ELEC
make clean
make world
The make world process will build a 32bit and 64bit userland and generate a 64bit image which will be located in 351ELEC/release. Follow the installation steps to write your image to a microSD.
