Until things start working with Kodi 19, do we have to use CoreELEC if we need Kodi 18?
Yes.

Yes.
Often a trifle (for example, the absence of the power button, when to turn on, you have to constantly pull the power supply from the outlet) as a result, so annoying that i'm are ready to spend double the price of the entire device, that would fix it.
N2 has the powerkey feature, you only need any switch or button to connect to the J2 or the J7 header and voila! you have power button (cost about a dollar).
Here's the sample: Star Wars - The last Jedi.sample.e-ac3.DV.mp4
Thank you. My tv recognizes it as DV.
So LE has stopped supporting Amlogic and Rockchip users? what should I use now CoreELEC?
If you have an amlogic box then your sw is CoreElec.
If you have RK then you have to wait (or just get rid of it).
Consider. N2 80 (empty Board) + 4 (case) + 30 (32GB emmc and recording adapter) + 8 (WiFi) + 6 (power supply) + 4 (remote control) + 40 shipping.
From where did you get those prices?
Empty board 63 (2GB) shipping 28. I don't need the rest.
It's clear that you don't know anything about N2.
N2 is a slightly extended version of the usual TV box at an inflated price, and having a shitty cooling system, from which more problems than benefits and a number of other errors .
inflated price: much cheaper then anything in the same league
shitty cooling system: the coolest box ever even under heavy load
number of other errors:
Some box has no reset button...
Why don't you check it yourself? If you can't see the difference, then doesn't matter...
You can use a USB-serial adapter like this for those pads.
reboot update or pressing reset should start LE install.
You can try another LE or CE versions too.
Have you tried any 1GB dtb? Some manufacturer faking RAM amount...
On the last picture you can see RX, TX, GND pads, you can solder a connector and watch debug info on it.
So does Rufus, at least on Windows.
Try it and you will see why I wrote this is the easiest...
There is software called Etcher. It is the easiest to write the img.gz to the card or pen drive because it handles the .gz file so you don't have to unzip the image first.
RT8153 and AX88179 chipsets are working for sure.
Have you read the install instructions here: [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.0 for S805 ?
You need to put the dtb WITH the tar.
Wifi works on my Mini M8S II (without Edal logo). Maybe yours has a different wifi chip. You can try another dtbs.
