Is strange the physical ports are all USB 2.0 in my boxes (beelink and mecool), but lsusb reports a USB 3.0 hub. There must be available on the board but unpopulated.

Maybe some developer can explain more in detail this.

Second that.

Here's the output on my S905X box:

Quote

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1058:0748 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. My Passport (WDBKXH, WDBY8L)

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

BTW,

what is the "normal" operating temperature of the S905X, while rendering (even with some GUI elements)?

Is it normal to be a bit higher than the S905?

Just to give an update on the USB to Gigabit Ethernet:

Got this one:

It appears to be using ASIX AX88179 chipset and LE eats it like a charm.

Tested it with "streaming" an UHD audio pass-through media from my local SMB server - no more buffering crap on the S905X box.

Now,

if someone can share some thoughts on the S905 USB ACPI power-off issue... ?

Thank you for the clarification.

Would you be able, please, to recommend such USB-Gigabit adapter, which is proven to work with LE kernel/drivers?

Anything on the USB power switch-off on S905?

Thanks again!

Greetings,

I am using the LE 8.1.2 build on two boxes (cheap "Karate" ones):

• S905X 2/8Gb (Ampak AP6330 WiFi chipset)

The box comes with 1Gbps Ethernet, allegedly, and LE boots only with gxl_p212_2g.dtb device tree descriptor file.
Ethernet driver within this configuration appears to be: st_mac100

Is it possible to use the st_gmac driver, like in gxbb_p200_2G_1Gbit_OTG_Port.dtb?

Shutting down the box cuts the power to USB modules as well, and in that way - also stops my active cooling mod.

• S905 2/16Gb

Gigabit Ethernet here is working with st_gmac driver flawlessly.

However,

I've noticed when a graceful shutdown is initiated - USB power is not being cut to the external devices, thus external drives continue spinning for good.

Is this a specific of the S905 chipset, kernel ACPI modules or particular model board schematics design?

Thank you in advance for all your input on the matter.

Thanks for sharing this here as well.

I just did that on my LibreELEC 8.1.2 setup,

just used the SSH and "vi" for editing.

In UX the path to these two Python script files looks like:

/storage/.kodi/addons/script.artwork.downloader/lib/provider

If you're not comfortable with UX prompt - use WinSCP client, for example.

Greetings,

I've just installed LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.2e on a RUPA M8S Pro box, which has a p201 platform and S905 chip 2G/16G and Gigabit network.

I've noticed some things when playing with different dtb files:

- the only ones working (booting) on this device are the gxbb_p201_2G.dtb from either the normal or LIRC trees.

- with either of these - neither LIRC nor the Gigabit LAN is working.

Any clues/hints on the Gigabit?

LIRC issue will survive, CEC is working fine.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.
