    Now some SD card related R/W error keeps repeating itself over and over again... :(

    The log should start like this:

    Code

    Unfortunately, I can't help you until the essential part is invisible. I would recommend trying a different SD card first.

    I tried to take the log from alexelec and it looks like what you said. It doesn't fit, does it?

    From a completely different operating system, I won't really get information about the status of the driver I modified, so it's unfortunately useless for me. However, I/O errors related to the SD card are also present here, only in a smaller volume.

    It would be worth running this in overwrite mode, before you write an image to the SD card again.

    I took a third SD card, formatted the SD Card Formatter, burned the image with Rufus instead of LibreELEC USB-SDCreator on another computer. :) And it's all for nothing. :(

    It seems that the SDIO bus is re-initialized, but the SDIO adapter does not appear afterwards.

    Next step: I would need an lsmod output.

    Unfortunately, I don't have an S805 device with SDIO wifi, so if I don't manage to get such a box, I can only rely on user tests.

    Btw, also doesn't work Power On from remote control. Can anything be done about it?

    In addition, it would be good to identify whether the same PCB is also in your box.

    Well, it seems that the required module has not been loaded. Let's try to load it manually:

    Code
    dmesg -c > /dev/null
modprobe 8723as
dmesg | paste

    And thanks for the photo. ;)

    Unfortunately, it looks like I need to dig deeper into the code, and the HD18Q image probably wouldn't be fully compatible with this 2022 box release. I feel like we can't move forward until I get a piece of this myself.

    But there is a new question: Does the box really turn off under Android when the power button is pressed on the remote, or does it just go to standby?

    P.s.: We just need to find out who is selling exactly the same box. If anyone knows accurate information about this, please let me know. Thanks.

    I added the missing module alias to the driver, please try to see if it loads the module automatically during boot:

    Index of /snapshots/20230622_rtl8723as_c652eb6/

    Thanks. And a follow up question. Can this firmware be updated automatically through auto-update?

    This is currently in a different branch, so please turn off auto-update for now until the final code is ready.

    If you turn it on, it will update to a version that still lacks this driver, so it would be good to avoid this.

    However, you can update the previous version with the tar on the link, so you don't have to make a new installation.

    Just download the tar and copy it to the Update folder via Samba.
