Please test this build (upgrade from 8.1.x or 8.2.x): LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.2.0.1-8723DS_v1.tar

Quote from Danny182

will the option to enable RGB ever be available again?

This is broken in Amlogic Nougat kernel - colorspace switching code is a complete mess now and it's hard to determine what needs to be done/fixed in order to make RGB mode work again. Perhaps with and update to Amlogic kernel this might get fixed but nobody can promise that. Also nobody has reported if rgb,10bit mode works (as mentioned in this post: Color problem with S905X).

Try to use "nand" device tree.

headhunter.657 Please post the same logs to make sure that you have the same chip. Please also tell me if the box has Bluetooth support (check it in Android!).

Like I said, you will need to wait a bit for a test build as my old laptop broke down and a new one will arrive in 2 weeks.

It look like you need RTL8723DS driver. It is not included in my builds. I will compile a test build for you in 2 weeks since now I don't have a machine to compile on.

This is a kernel bug - using 3.14 Amlogic kernel you have to use 7.1 to output anything with more than 2 channels. I'm afraid this won't get resolved quickly as developers who fixed other multichannel issues in the past moved to work on Rockchip devices and I am not able to look at this issue as I don't have an AVR nor do I know anything about audio drivers.

You can only hope that when mainline kernel finally arrives, the issue will be gone.

There is no such WiFi chip as AP8723, it is probably a Realtek chip.

Please SSH to your device after a fresh boot and provide:

dmesg | paste
udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/sdio*

Unfortunately this is the only site that I host builds on. Be patient, it should be back up soon. OVH is a big provider, I'm sure they're working on bringing everything back online ASAP.

Edit: It's working for me now.

OVH servers are down, perhaps an unplanned fault: OVH Tasks

algdu83 Kernel is only one part of the puzzle. If you want to build Android, better have a look at whole SDK at Khadas · GitHub

If you don't care about Android, S905D/S905X is the preferred choice for LE.

Hi kszaq, please see my post from 10.55am 1st Nov. I am having the same problem on two S905x as i did own Linux Mint 18.2.

I had to re-install pycurl per the two links in my post to fix my problem on linux.

I guess it is the same issue on your build with ERROR: CCurlFile::Stat - Failed: SSL connect error(35)

Like I said, everything python, curl and openssl-related is the same as in official LE builds. I'm afraid I cannot help you with this issue now. Please create a thread in General Support and perhaps some smarter minds will be able to help you.

Haven't found solution.

So your saying the FPS works fine on s905 image? What FPS you getting in the menus on s905?

Much be just the s912 that is affected then.

Remember that although S912 GPU is faster than S905 GPU, its performance is lower because we have to use hybrized Android libs.

It looks like it's not detecting SD card at all, if it was, you would see /dev/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/mmcblk0p2. The 2 other partitions you mentioned /dev/mmcblk0boot0 are internal eMMC partitions.

Also, is there a way to make it boot from a USB stick from the terminal?

Look up USB drive partitions, e.g. /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, then

mount /dev/sda1 /flash
mount /dev/sda2 /storage

and the last command is something I don't remember now...

xitpu Yes, you can. For MK808B+ use MXQ build.

HW video decoding doesn't depend on Mali drivers, video quality is the same on S905X and S912.

Quote from jeky82

Yes and I also tried to use the dtb file from ubuntu image they provided but did not work.

You have to use one of device trees provided by me.

Quote from gwaitsi

kszaq, do you have libcurl and python-curl installed in the build using openssl?

I don't understand your question. Almost everything build-related is the same as in official LE.

Quote from jeky82

kszaq .. please can you try to build or make LE work also for this board here ( LePotato that is based on 905X). It should be really similar to odroid C2. I don t know if this can help you but Uboot logic is here, while the kernel is HERE or according to armdebian it works also with mainline kernel.org plus THESE patches.

Thank you in advance for any answer.

My builds don't use mainline kernel as there is no hardware decoding support. Have you even tried to use a generic build on that board?
