BUG: s905x box won't boot properly from powered off state most of the time

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    I have two similar Memobox t95n Mini M8S Pro boxes, both have 2GB but one has 8 and one has 16GB of storage.

    Almost everything works straight away, even the remote (no Wi-Fi though).

    The only issue that I have with both of them is that 9 out of 10 times, when turning it on with the remote, it gets stuck at the Libreelec splash screen. I don't use sleep mode, just regular power states. Network isn't up at that point by then, so I can't reboot from ssh or check logs to see whats happening exactly at that point. I need to unplug the power to get them working again. This has never resulted in a boot failure.

    I've attached debug logs from a couple of weeks ago, so it could be from 8.1.8, but the issue still persists with the current build. Thanks in advance for anything you can find. p.s. I use the gxl_p212_2g device tree.

    kszaq I think I've found the cause of my problem, now I'm hoping you can find a solution.

    I have an official Microsoft USB MCE remote receiver attached to my box. If I disconnect it, my box seems to boot fine (last six times I've tried all went well).

    Raytestrak are you able to collect logs from serial console?

    By serial console, you mean by RS-232 connection? I'm willing, if you can point me in the right direction. I might have a USB2COM adapter at work, but I getting a laptop with a com port will be more difficult. I'm now 99.99% sure it's the MCE adapter. I haven't had a freeze since I've disconnected it. It's quite an annoying thing to troubleshoot, because I can't connect to the box when it freezes.
