No, I would like to thank you and wish you enjoyable and trouble-free use.
Experience shows that the n200 image is also perfect for k200 devices. Do you know what kind of wifi chip is in your box?
Ok, image seems to work nicely on Netxeon M82_V4.0_20141106 device (Tronsmart MXIII 2G/8GB Wifi 6330). Wifi worked correctly, funny enough, ethernet did not, cant get ip from DHCP (triple checked connections). Ethernet chip is H1601NL (1502-XG). Any fix you can think of?
I also managed to installtointernal, I like it. If I could get ethernet working Im golden.

It probably has AP6330 WiFi. Will try the image and let you know so you can add to 1st post. Thanks!
EDIT: Indeed it has AP6330. -
LibreELEC v9.2.8.2 (2021-09-12) has been released for S8X2 devices only.
Changes since v9.2.8.1 (2021-08-14):- restore whitelist patch to fix cadence-correct playback problems (eg. 23.976 and 29.97 fps),
- disable all Realtek SDIO and USB wifi/bluetooth adapter drivers in kernel configuration,
- M8S-Plus: enable some external Realtek USB wifi adapter drivers.
- 3rdParty images: enable some updated external Realtek SDIO and USB wifi/bluetooth adapter drivers in options,
- 3rdParty images: merge MXIII-S8X2 devices to main S8X2 project,
- Minix-S8X2 images: sync boot scripts and kernel with datrh's repo (based on 9.0.2 with custom Kodi version),
- 3rdParty images: platform_init script replaced to prevent freeze problems after stop or seek.
- 3rdParty images: zram service is disabled on devices that have more than 1 GB of RAM.
Images can only be published after testing and positive confirmation!
So far, this has happened to these devices:
- OTT M8S+ (tested by me),
- Universal n200 devices (tested by loki7777 on an MXIII-G clone, gjstroom and Jerry on M8S clones).
Not-affected S8X2 devices: WeTek Core.
Affected but not yet confirmed (waiting for feedback):
- Minix X8/X8-H,
- Minix X8-H Plus,
- MXIII-1G,
- MXIII-G/-Plus.
If you would like to help with testing, please indicate what device you have and what you experienced during the test.
Only these images can be used for testing: Index of /snapshots/20210912/
(The image of the Minix devices has been updated since then, but for ease, I also put it in this directory.)
After positive confirmation, the images will be transferred to their own download directory.
IMPORTANT!If you installed it as an update and you have a problem installing addons, you will need to manually update the LE repository addon:
Hi, love this project. Is Tronsmart MXIII 2GB/8GB (K200) going to be supported anytime soon?

I'm trying to do a Libreelec 10 build with the legacy kernel and @knaersche patches.
Now I understand why the developers chose to switch to mainline code and remove proprietary software support :).
It took me a while to get kodi up and running (mali blobs works only with some glibc and kernel builds only with gcc 8).
But at this moment, it's the only way to get my box working 100%, so I decided to give it a try and eventually share my results :).
Hi! Im a little confused, I've been using this and it worked somewhat fine: LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-9.2-devel-20200427220805-b7186bc-rk3229-v884k
Was going to download on of yours that were updated but cant find them or dont know which is compatible. Any help? -
Some more exciting news coming up for this old champ:
I have ported Batocera Linux RetroGaming Firmware on this soc thanks to Martin Blumenstingl excellent work!
You can try and test it here
batocera-s812-30-20210214.img.gz | by Demetris. for MXQ TV Box
It should be able to boot straight on a MXIII-G/PLUS S812 board for the others you now the drill of renaming the dtb.
Is S802 a feasible release for the future? (MXIII 2GB/8GB)
-
ochentay4 Thanks for the image, I checked the device tree fabiobassa extracted and the dram timings are the very same as those for the v88 4k board. You may try that one to get much better performance.
I also checked out the configuration of the wifi and it appears to be the same as the other device with the esp8089 chip, so this is a step forward to add support to libreelec.
I hope knaerzche comes here around soon to merge the necessary patches, which should be quite easy.
Great! looking forward to a new build with this changes integrated (and kodi updated!). I have even played remuxed blu ray isos over network with almost no caching/stuttering. Hope something comes out soon! Thank you!

You may also share the original firmware image if you have one. Sharing just the first 20 megabytes of the firmware would be much better. Don't forget to make a zip/rar/gzip of it.
Remote should already work, you probably need to configure the key bindings: there are some useful posts about configuring rk3228 remotes in the rockchip forum section, but you can also use the procedure for amlogic or any other device.
About the esp8089 wifi, I added support for that in armbian and it works, but I had no chance to test it personally and it is based upon one user experience, so the device tree could be terribly useful for this also.
I dont know how to resize the image. Here is a working link of the original IMG: MXQ-4K_ota_20160308.zip
I would love to try a build with esp8089 wifi enabled. Let me know how can I help. I know that MANY has this same box so this could be useful.

The easiest way is probaly with adb: so connect your device via usb or network to your working machine and do:
this should copy all the files an directories in there to your PC.
after that you can decompile to a readable devicetree with:
Note: I wrote this from my memories ... might be that syntax is slightly different.
unfortunately: yes.
jock2 did some experiemts with undervolting ... not sure how far he came
Maybe yes - honestly in my little spare time I'm trying to port more and more needed stuff to mainline kernel which I'm far more interessted in ... but I can do some builds ... in the meantime everbody else can build his on images which is really, really easy: You need just a linux computer (preferably with ubuntu 18.04 for LE 9.2), follow instrucations on Compile [LibreELEC.wiki], clone my repo and execute any command from LibreELEC.tv/README.md at libreelec-9.2 · knaerzche/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub which suits your device.
Thanks. Sadly I cant/wont do it myself as I dont know anything about linux and dont have another pc to try it. Will wait till someone builds it.
About my device, what do I have to do so I can have wifi and correct device settings like ram timings so you can put it on the project? Right now, thanks to your project, device has a purpose, but I find it incomplete without the remote, wifi, and probably wrong ram speeds. -
sirmagus your device probably needs a different dram-configuration ... as a save start you could also try the tx2 image where the default settings are in. if it doesn't work either: Try to extract current device tree from android or link to a working android firmware image.
Any instructions how to extract device tree from Android? I'm struggling with this and Im trying to colaborate a little on this project.

Hey guys, I have an OTT MXQ 4K (not Pro) device with these specs (real and verified by me with my camera):
- RK3229 CBBKM43012 1552 CPU
- SanDisk P553072141 SDTNRGAMA-008G CP0813618 NAND
- NANYA NT5CC256M16DP-DI RAM (DDR3)
- Pulse H1102NL 1549-M ETH
- Espressif ESP8089 05215 P27X03 WiFi
- Board name T066-V1
- Firmware MXQ-4K_ota_20160308
-Do I have to get *any* file from Android to get remote working?
-Is a new release on the horizon? Latest is from April 2020 and I saw many commits on github, including Kodi 18.8.
-What could be the correct image to test? Thanks!
Fantastic project by the way!!!
EDIT1: Ok, I tested "LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-9.2-devel-20200427221002-b7186bc-rk3229-v88mars.img.gz" It worked, booted fine, had ethernet but no WIFI, 1080p was somewhat good. Now which one to test? This box is DDR3 and the firmware I tried DDR2.
EDIT2: I tried to play a movie 1080p remux bluray (30gb) from smb network (wired at 100mbps) and I encountered stutters and constant buffering. Main PC is a monster and work fine on Rpi3. Any ideas?
EDIT3: Tested "LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-9.2-devel-20200427220805-b7186bc-rk3229-v884k.img.gz" now no stuttering or buffering at 1080p, speed is fast! Even tried a 4K HEVC Remux file (60GB!!) and it worked somewhat fine, incredible!! But when I fast forwarded the video box resetted itself. Also still no WIFI. Im starting to think that Espressif ESP8089 is not supported at all on any release. Is there something I can do to help to get it working?
EDIT4: Temp is 208ºF (98ºC) when playing videos, is that reading correct? Holy crap! -
I resoled problem by:
systemctl stop kodi
pactl load-module module-udev-detect
systemctl start kodi
Sound working perfect, but i see "pulseaudio default bluetooth" as default sound
BUT
sount via alsa in other apps not working.....need reboot =(
How can i combine this drivers& =(
Hey, I have a tablet with the same problem, I dont understand how did you fix it. Also, I have the same problem with Lakka (latest nightlies are LE based), so I dont have sound.
-
Update: Since no reported bugs for some time now am moving the release on OP
Hello and goodbye as this release should be my final one since these amlogic boxes cant be supported anymore due to lack of upstream support.
Here is LE9 with Kodi Leia 18.6 for S82 and MXIII-PLUS
Enjoy
Hey! Thanks for the release! Will test it later! Was looking for an updated release! Thank you!!
-
OP is updated with LE9.0.2 download links
Enjoy.
Thank you! Will try it later on my Tronsmart MXIII device.

Hi Demetris, I dont want to bother you, but any news on S802 images? Been a long time since you posted anything. Thanks man!
-
Damn, I need help. My box is MXIII (S802 2GB) Some time ago managed to install Remix and LibreElec 8.2.3 (S82 build, worked great), then started to play with Lakka 2.1.1 S82 and decided to install to nand. All good. Now, months later, I want to try "again" LibreElec 8.2.3 and I cant for the life of my boot from SD nor Pendrive. Flashed the IMG, put "nocompat.zip" and "remote.conf", and cant boot with the damn toothpick. If I use a SD card, it says filesystem corrupted, and if I use pendrive, it goes to recovery or boots directly to Lakka.
Could someone describe the exact and precise process to boot again from SD or Pendrive?
I also want to try 9.0... but fisrt 8.2.3
Thanks

thanks doggyofone - I saw your post but it was for a different model.
I have progressed.. I still had the ''original'' 102K4 firmware on the M8, so I looked for newer and couldn't find an official firmware - but I did much reading and installed the ReMiX 115K4 firmware - which works well and also allows me to boot from SD card.
EDIT: link to ReMiX here - [ROM] RemiX 115k4 >>>s802 - FreakTab.com
I literally just tried rebooting the media player with libreelec on SD card and it boots, does some checking and gives me a lot of error messages but the main error message seems to be with thinking the SD card is read only.
repairing filesystem...
?? invalid argument
Read-only file system
.ext4: Read-only file system while trying to open /dev/mmcblk0p1
write-protected; use the -n option to do a read-only
fsck failed. Yout system is broken beyond repair
please re-install LibreELEC
so this is on a known working SD card that I can boot to libreELEC on my s905 media box.
more reading.
EDIT: I cannot format my SD card now so probably bad - I don't have another one to test. Will have ot buy on on Thursday (payday).
Im sorry but I already tried RemiX 115K4 on my Tronsmart MXIII 2GB RAM / 8GB ROM and I never managed to boot from SD/Pendrive. This is strange as hell.
-
I know, some guy asked and I answered, but Im trying to make it work on my Tronsmart MXIII 2G. So far I coulndt manage yet to do it. I just managed to install this: Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) working on S89 (s802) - FreakTab.com and will try to boot LibreElec S82 from SD/Pendrive again to see if it works.
