S905 builds - general discussion

    Quote from kszaq

    I can also see that Amlogic uploaded new sources to their Openlinux site, I will see if we can use the latest drivers. [emoji56]

    Hi,

    new kernel source is the same as openwetek one without commits after Jul 1.

    regards,

    I have the same problem with same device. We need wait for a new build.

    Without logs I can't promise the driver will be there as I don't know what's the WiFi chip inside device. As I'm finishing work on a next release your WiFi will probably still not work.

    I meant the drivers. I included WiFi and NAND driver updates. :)

    No rush, better polish this release and add and test as much features you can instead of releasing something crappy. Build 005 is really good except reboot issues in my case. Remove slowely all spotted bugs becsuse there is no rush - next kodi build is far away.

    I understand, I will wait for release after...
    How I can test what wifi chip there is inside? And what kind of log you need?

    If is useful, I found this info about wifi:
    dhd; IEEE 802.11 b/g/n; Broadcom 4329/30; AP Mode

    willyfan Thank you for the logs. And sorry to say that your WiFi chip is not supported even in the latest drivers released 2 days ago by Amlogic. I will try to add it manually but not for the next build - a test build soon after I upload the next version?

    Hi there,

    it seems my box is resetting date/time to 01.01.1970 01:00 am on every cold boot and after some time (betweet 30 secs and a minute) it gets the correct date/time when it has an established network connection. This also happens on Android. Problem with this is that Kodi tries to connect to my Mysql-Server with that incorrect time/date and cannot get through, and so i have no database on Kodi startup. I'll have to wait until the correct time/date are displayed in Kodi and then do a warm reboot to get my Mysql-connection working.

    Is there anything i could add to autostart.sh to set/read the correct time/date before Kodi reads my advancedsettings.xml ? Or a pause setting? I want to make sure my wife can use Kodi without rebooting several times ;)

    (Wait for network setting doesn't do the trick as the network is available right from the start, it must be the time/date setting and i can reproduce that problem)

    I realized the reboot function does not work on
    my box, neither while using the remote nor the
    app Yatse.

    Is that a general bug or just a problem on my side?

    That is because this device does not have RTC on board and you have to wait until NTP server replies with proper time to your software timer in device software.
