There are no S905X boxes with 1G ethernet. First make sure that it's really S905X and not S912 - for example using CPU-Z in Android.

balbes150 You need to update kernel version to a7bb5df

willyfan You have ssv6051 WiFi chip - another one without drivers, yay!

You can try doing this:

mkdir -p /tmp/system
mount /dev/system /tmp/system
modprobe cfg80211
modprobe --force /tmp/system/lib/ssv6051.ko

And see if WiFi works... but most probably it won't.

Hi kszaq, this is the results of the command above:

Code

P: /devices/d0070000.sdio/mmc_host/sdio/sdio:0001/sdio:0001:1
E: DEVPATH=/devices/d0070000.sdio/mmc_host/sdio/sdio:0001/sdio:0001:1
E: MODALIAS=sdio:c07v3030d3030
E: SDIO_CLASS=07
E: SDIO_ID=3030:3030
E: SUBSYSTEM=sdio

This doesn't look good... Please get a list of Android kernel modules:

mkdir -p /tmp/system
mount /dev/system /tmp/system
find /tmp/system -name *.ko

michael123 Thank you! And I thank everyone who donated!

The same thing applies to any device containing chips that shares the same GPU as S912 like Amlogic S966,Amlogic T966,Amlogic T968 Exynos 7570, Exynos 7650,Exynos 7870,Exynos 7880, Kirin 650, Realtek RTD1295 etc right?

Quote from johannbg

Just exposing my ignorance here thus have to ask what's the difference between the android kernel driver for mali t830 like the one here [1] for Exynos 7870 is that stuff not usable due to licensing issues and between chipsets due to chipset makers adding their own "special" gpu sauce?

Let me say this one more time: kernel driver is not an issue. The driver is available for some time, compiles and works in LE. What we need is libMali.so library specifically built for Mali-T820 in S912 (yes, it's T820, not T830).

Generally speaking we can have 2 types of libraries: for Android and for "pure" Linux. While the first is freely available (i.e. released by Amlogic), the second is not. And we need the second type of the library.

I have already tried to use libraries for other GPUs from the Midgard family (T620, T760, T860) but they refuse to work with T820.

There's also a post on Mali developer forum explaining that the user-space binary drivers need to be sourced from the chip manufacturer: Mali T820 OpenGL and OpenCL driver support for Android and Linux ? - Graphics Discussions - Graphics & Multimedia - ARM Community

Don't blacklist cfg80211 or you won't be able to use WiFi at all! Only dhd.

It is also a module name. So all you need to do now is echo "blacklist dhd" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

andy5macht The backport I added fixes a functionality already present in Kodi.

You can try one of the device trees for 1G boxes. Specifically you have to choose one of "100M" trees for your box.

Fastrap87 From MAC address I can tell that you need to blacklist dhd instead.

The easiest way I can think of - check which module is your WiFi chip using in lsmod then add it to blacklist.

Example when module is 8189es: echo "blacklist 8189es" >> /storage/.config/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

There's no support yet for analog audio on Minix U1. I got the driver a few days ago from Ken, I need to integrate it in my builds. I will let you know when there's anything to test.

Quote from Jaaxx

kszaq - Good news. So far the EDL commercial skip is working beautifully just like on Jarvis. Only played a couple of recordings from this afternoon so far. I will continue to test over the next few days and check back here.

Just FYI my PVR backend is Mythtv 0.28 using the bone stock commflag job.

Haven't seen anything posted for this box yet:

Docooler TV Box
Model M9SPRO
p/n V2322US
S905
3Gb RAM
32Gb NAND

Would LOVE to be able to run LibreElec on this instead of running older Kodi under Android 5.

Thanks for anything you can provide!

The device tree you attached is for device with 1GB RAM. Either is wrong or your device fakes RAM amount.

Hi Merziyas,

I was just about to update my KIII device with Krypton LIBREelec (7.0.3.012i), so I was reading to find a correct tree for my device. It looks like I have exactly same configuration as you (LIBREelec 7.0.2.005 on SD card for KIII device) and based on your experience I have stopped my approach. Have you found or received from somebody the correct working tree for our device? If so, do you mind to share it?
Thanks in advance.

You can first try running one of the newer builds from a separate SD card. There you can change dtb.img as many times as you want without making any change to your device or risking a brick. I would recommend trying gxbb_p200_2G_1Gbit.dtb.

I was running beta5 (no issues) - upgraded to 8.0.0a and lost use of the stock remote. My box is Mini M8S II (S905X). USB mouse/keybaord work fine.

I just updated to 8.0.0b and still no stock remote.

Any ideas?

Please post ls /tmp and cat /tmp/remote*.conf | paste.

Hi kazaq,

first at all thank you for your work and your great builds.

Right now I'm using your 7.95.beta6 image with afl1 internal dvb driver implementation on my k1plus.

Before I used 7.0.2.004.4 image.
With this image CEC was working.
When I switched the K1plus on, the TV was turning on.
When I switched it off the TV was turning off.

With your 7.95.beta6, CEC is only working partially.
I am able to control the K1plus with the TV remote and I'm able to turn it off when I turn off the TV.

Is there a way to fix this?
(While playing around with CEC settings I noticed that when Kodi sends "active" at start it is only booting when I turn on TV first)

You have to play with CEC settings in Kodi.

Quote from tonitiger

Another question is, if it is possible to implement Miracast and Airplay into your builds.
The original android images for K1plus are capable to use this functions.

Airplay is included in Kodi AFAIK. Kodi does not have Miracast support.

I get this when trying to compile it myself:
