[UNOFFICIAL][Le12][RK3228/RK3229][box]Libreelec builds

    I want to share my build that I managed to successfully write to emmc with multitool on my two boxes, A95Xr1 and MXQ Pro 4K 5G (RK3229Q-221P-V1.3).

    I cherry-picked one commit from ilmich and one from pocng that enabled this on librelec-11 to my libreelec-12 branch (from here https://github.com/ilmich/LibreELEC.tv/pull/2).

    So thanks to them for their great work!

    Build is here for at least 30 days: https://1fichier.com/?wj9pdvzu202oqo3z0au7

    This build is unsupported. If it works for you, great. If not then you're on your own.

    Very nice work, downloaded, modified the *.conf for my dtb, saved and installed it on my boxes. Even easily added afterwards all my settings and addons.

    I am very happy for don't need the slow MicroSD system anymore. BIG THX :thumbup:

    Hi Samui67, as far as i remember, the rk322x does not have a sata controller nor a usb3 controller (i'm looking at the case of the device).
    Probably there is a USB to SATA controller that is connected directly to a USB 2.0 port (in many devices there are 4 ports and here i only see 3). In any case, this device is fascinating. Where did you buy it? To try to solve your problem, I would need some LibreELEC logs and probably also the DTS of the original firmware (is it an Android?).

    Dear Ilmich,

    thank you so much for your reply.

    Here is just one link but i bought directly from Alibaba:

    Yes there is an Android installed and i used the RK322x Multitool to get a dump of the system already. Unfortunately i do not know how to extract and which files and/or eventually commands are necessary for getting the DTS file.

    As i wrote i already installed the Image from ML-1 and it is working perfect except for detecting the Sata device.

    Attached some more pictures:

    Kind regards

    Samui67 thanks for the info..

    I try to buy it from alibaba, hoping the model with rk322x arrives and not, as for the android boxes, something else. If you can share the first 100mb of your dump I will try to extract dts.

    however given the type of device, it does not recognize the sata hard disk or can you not use it connected to a pc? I ask this because it's possible to configure the kernel to transform the usb ports into usb gadgets and therefore make, for example, an android box similar to an external hard disk that you can connect to a pc. This feature is disabled because I always thought it was not very useful (until today).

    Hi ilmich,

    the *.gz dump is around 450 mB. If i extract the dump, the size is almost 7.8 GB. Is there some linux tool available for my Ubuntu 22.04, which can split the *gz or unpacked raw dump?

    This is the strange part. Only the USB on the SD slot and IR port side is recognizing devices. Mouse, keyboard,... the blue USB port on the HDMI side detect nothing.

    One other question. Is it possible to get the Android files with the Multitool bash?


    EDIT:

    Confirmed. The USB port on the HDMI side - if it is connected with my PC - is showing the SSD (4TB) correctly and it is read/write accessible. But it is not detected as drive in LibreELEC!

    The USB port on the SD card is not showing anything, but it even can be used as a power supply - because if it is connected, the player takes power over the USB connection. Of course also detects my USB wifi stick, mouse, keyboard,...!

    Samui67 you can use dd to take only the first 100 MB for example like this

    dd if=unpacked.img of=first_100_mb.img bs=1M count=100

    Could you send me a dmesg of libreelec? What filesystem is the hard disk formatted with?

    Hello ilmich,

    the SSD is formated with the NTFS file system.

    Attached the dmesg log and the download address i did send to you directly for the 100 mb Android backup part.

    logs.txt

    Also i made some new photos of the chips on the player.

    Kind regards
