Download Tanix TX6 image from here (.img.gz), extract it, so you have only .img file and burn it to microSD card with some tool like Etcher, dd, win32 disk imager or something similiar.

Thank you so much!
Just another question: After burned file image on SD card, how can I choose wich image will be start on boot?
Start automatically with libreelec if the microSD is present?

Thank's a lot!

Yes, if a bootable SD card is present, the system starts from this SD card. You can boot Android if you power off the device, eject the SD card and power on the device again.

I have done all, as you said, but the system doesn't starts from SD card. Is there any other thing that I can do?

Hello,

I needing change display parameters for my TVH klient via command line. Could you help me where is display config in /sys/module/ folder ?

In Tanix TX3 mini i used this commnad:

echo 1 > /sys/module/di/parameters/bypass_all

but for Tanix TX6 this don't work.

Thanks.

Wrong subforum, Tanix TX3 mini has Amlogic SoC. Even then, this seems to be something from BSP kernel and not mainline, which is the only supported kernel.

no, I needing change same parameter on TANIX TX6 as Tanix TX3 mini. This command is sample and it work on TANXI TX3 but no on TANIX TX6.

I needing help how change parameter of display on TANIX TX6.

Ah, ok. There is no such thing on mainline Linux, which is used by LibreELEC on Tanix TX6. What are you trying to do? Based on module name my guess would be that you're trying to disable HW deinterlacing. If so, deinterlace unit is not yet supported by mainline so it's already disabled.

Im using TVH client but I have problem with IP TV stream, because, As I mean, processor working with IP TV stream in the box. I needing bypass all processes, what working with IP TV stream as TANIX TX3 mini. On TX3 I used next commands:

echo 1 > /sys/module/di/parameters/bypass_all

echo 1 > /sys/module/di/parameters/bypass_hd

echo 1 > /sys/module/di/parameters/bypass_hd_prog

echo 1 > /sys/module/di/parameters/bypass_1080p

and my problem with pixelizing, frozing picture, frozing, and so on, after this change finished. I lookig for a settings what solve this problem.

Thanks.

As I said, TX3 mini uses completely different SoC from another company, so don't expect same solutions. If you can capture IP TV stream sample which demonstrates the issue I can take a look.

Hi! I try to install Tanix TX6 on TX6 mini, but do not see any output on TV (TV Samsung (ue46d7000)).

I use several HDMI cabels, several sd cards, development and nightly images - result the same.

The box in android mode work with the TV.

Are there any advices?

Is anybody know how to open TX6 mini without box damaging? I want to check the inside chipset and etc.

Thanks

alexey Serial output would be very helpful in this case, but that would mean opening the box and probably soldering pins for serial console. Maybe you can pry open it with guitar pick or something similar.

alexey · October 12, 2019 at 6:53 PM

I get serial output:

alexey Strange. Can you post high resolution images of the board (both sides), because it seems that U-Boot doesn't support your RAM configuration and I really don't know why.

alexey · October 13, 2019 at 12:56 PM

Ok. The board:

alexey I can't spot any issue in SW or HW. It's possible that RAM frequency is set too high and that other TX6 mini boxes worked only by chance. Can you please give me also serial output during Android boot? At the very beginning, DRAM settings should be mentioned, like frequency and dram_para1 and dram_para2 (or something similar).
