[S905] Tronsmart Vega S95 Telos SATA not working

Maybe I'm wrong, but as I recall, there need to activate the GPIO port (by default it is off) that would have included power to SATA adapter. I have not been able to obtain from the manufacturer info, which ports are needed for this.

dmesg attached

62vette Please always collect dmesg immediately after booting the box - that way first lines will not be lost.

You can try using these device trees:

gxbb_p200_2G_minix_neo_u1.dtb

gxbb_p200_2G_1Gbit_OTG_Port.dtb

If the case is what balbes150 said, it will be hard to make it work.

I tried both device trees ( this is what I did as per instructions: booting from SD/USB, simply connect SD/USB to your computer, download a proper device tree, rename it to dtb.img and place on SD/USB)

They both did not spin up the harddisk connected to the SATA port.

When I boot in Android, I can enable the SATA port. The disk spins up and is accessible to the Android operating system.

The disk keeps spinning when I turn off the system.

When I boot with the SD-Card:

as soon as I press the power button and the blue light comes on, the disk spins down and has no power any more.

And as such is not available to libreelec
