@balbes150 LE images with Kodi-19 for S9xxx

Quote from rastobil

Anyone did manage to get 5.x working with Beelink GT1 Ultimate (S912, 3GB, 1G Lan)? LibreELEC-S912.arm-9.0-devel-20181218091149-83ec702 does work, but 5.x img get stuck on LE boot img. Attached a boot with 2019.05.21. 0526 doesn#t provide that error but still stuck at boot screen.

I get the same error message: Failed to start Setup User cache dir

In my case with a H96 Mini (S905W). I'm just trying LibreELEC because CoreELEC support for PS3 gamepads has a bug. It stops working as soon as we boot to Android and go back to CoreELEC.

Yes, I used the version "LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-9.1-devel-20190526155114-a41fdf1-box.img.gz" with the dtb "meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb", which I entered in the *.ini file. Is all this correct?

That is not the image I linked to, here it is again.

https://yadi.sk/d/dhepyyrcterlf/leia-18/kernel_5.x/20190521/amlg12_s905x2

Just completed a fresh SD card install of "LibreELEC-AMLG12.arm-9.1-devel-20190531135031-a41fdf1-box" on X96max (4g/32g) used the x96 dtb that was included in the image. Wired network works fine , as does HDMI sound, and video up to 1080p plays, stock remote works. Observation I have come across is that box will not turn off either with remote or via SSH, it starts to shutdown but returns to "Libreelec" splash screen. Big thanks to all for the work being done to support these new s905x2 devices.

Did an update using

LibreELEC-AMLG12.aarch64-9.1-devel-20190531134548-a41fdf1-box.img.gz

2g/16G X96 Max 100Mb/s NIC

The DTB directory was re-named but no replacement directory was written.

So of course the .dtb file could not be found when it rebooted.

Having corrected this it booted well.

Wired NIC connects during boot.

Sound is working from the Default Analog setting, delivered over HDMI.

I have problems with live TV, both DVB-T and DVB-S.

Some DVB-S channels work while others do not.

None of my DVB-T channels work - I get sound but no video.

There is no means to install drivers that I have found.

I hope to not only try a fresh install of this but also a fresh install of the ARM image.

Great progress being made.

EDIT:

Did a fresh install using the ARM image.

On this fresh install most of the DVB-S channels seem to show the video while all I checked give audio.

None of the DVB-T channels show video.

I seems to me this needs relatively little to make it usable for 'ordinary' use.

X96 Max test with new g12 build.

- Vontar X96 Max

- S905X2/u211 SOC

- G12A chipset

- 10/100mbit NIC

- No bluetooth module

- 2gb/16gb version

- 2,4ghz wifi b/g

Image: LibreELEC-AMLG12.arm-9.1-devel-20190531135031-a41fdf1-box.img.gz

DTB: meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb (the one posted by balbes150 which now resides at the root of the "kernel_5.x" folder of the yandex disk)

Results:

Boots just fine

Ethernet working, gets IP through DHCP

Stock remote works

2 channel analog outputs through HDMI, but no multichannel or HDMI option selectable (default X96 Max dtb gives HDMI option, but no LAN)

No WiFi

Doesn't wake from power off or suspended mode from remote press

Great progress so far!

I tested the file "LibreELEC-AMLG12.aarch64-9.1-devel-20190531134548-a41fdf1-box.img.gz" with "meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb" on the X96 max (4/32).

Installation ok

Sound over HDMI ok, but a bit too quiet

Network ok, 100 or 1000 i don't know?

Factory Remote ok

Files x264 works good, ok

Files x265 crashes directly, booted new

Files UHD x264, Runs, then crashes, booted new

Files UHD x265, crashes directly, booted new

Sound AC3, DTS ok

When switching off the X96 restarts and gets stuck at the boot screen.

Fast forward the file hangs.

Good work and many thanks!

Results:

Fresh install of

LibreELEC-AMLG12.aarch64-9.1-devel-20190601212344-a41fdf1-box.img.gz

The dtb directory had the required .dtb file included (rmii)

Notable difference when running is the extra Audio option to use HDMI audio.

The volume level is low requiring the amplification in the audio set up to be set to +10 or greater.

DVB-S continues to work and DVB-T gives no video, as previous image, with the strange exception of one channel which is provided by a HDMI>DVB-T converter.

It is great to see progress being made.

Thanks for the effort being put into this.

you got AC3 and DTS, did they work for surround audio? Or did it still only give 2.0 channel?

*Update*

Answered my own question. Tested LibreELEC-AMLG12.aarch64-9.1-devel-20190601212344-a41fdf1-box.img with meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb on T95Q S905x2 I get 5.1 audio passthrough For AC3 and DTS. However, after ~45 seconds of playing the audio just goes to static. Also, wifi and ethernet work.

x96-max-rmii boots - Audio working - no ethernet

khadas-vim3 boots - Audio working no 5.1 channel out and goes to static after ~45 seconds - ethernet working

Quote from balbes150

Updated image Libreelec_s905_aarch64_20180425.

Other options for s912 and arm will be added later as build and test.

Major change.

1. The shared dtb file (dtb.img) is excluded from the image. The startup script will attempt to use dtb data from internal memory. If the system fails to start in this mode, you must manually copy the correct file from the /device_trees directory to the root and rename it to "dtb.img " (this principle is exactly the same as it has long been used in all Armbian images). You can try all the files in a row, until you have selected an option with full support for all iron TV box.

2. Added the ability to easily connect the settings file for the remote. It must be copied to the directory /storage/.config/rc_keymaps named remote-ir.conf. Additional manipulations are not required. Now already have one settings file for Khadas VIM\VIM2. If someone wants to add their own choices in the images - to send it to me indicating the model of the TV box.

PROJECT=Amlogic ARCH=arm DEVICE=AMLG12 UBOOT_SYSTEM=box make image

what UBOOT_SYSTEM should I use for the x96 MAX box (2g)?

balbes150

The trial versions of the date 20190603

for S905_S905X_S912

They do not have arm images, only aarch64.

It is therefore impossible to test live TV.
