We just received a DVB Android box from our Internet provider for an evaluation peridod.

Its specs are quite interesting, but its software - customized Android TV - is mutch limited (for example it can manage only FAT32-formatted units).

Here's an interesting page that collects all Technicolor boxes (mostly based on Marvell' SOCs too):

Another interesting info page here: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/marvell

We honestly don't know if is possible - or if LibreElec community is interested in supporting these devices - to add this devices, anyway should be seriously taken in consideration (since Google adopted them for some of their home "gadgets" too).

Last but not least, here's what we found about Marvell support on Linux:

Hope that inspires !

If You ask 5 peoples You will get 10 answers

But remember: It´s a DIY system - You have to read and understand a lot

Yup, I understand...

Anyway: since SOC are identical (so the computing power/abilities *should* be the same), would you rather invest on RAM or on storage capacity ? For example: do you prefer a 2/32 or a 3/16 device ?

Hi everyone, I have already readed many posts but I still need help: I wanna buy an octacore AndoridTV based on Amlogic, and I found these (at reasonable price):

	Features:     - Amlogic S-912 Octa Core Cortex-A53 Processor - ARM Mali-T820MP3 GPU - 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM - 100M/1000Mbps LAN - Built-in 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, 2.4GHZ/5.8GHZ WIFI - Support BT 4.1
	Features: - Amlogic S-912 64 bit Octa core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU - ARM Mali-T820MP3 GPU - RAM: 2GB / ROM: 32GB - Built-in 2.4GHz & 5GHz WiFi - 10/100M/1000M RGMII Ethernet - Support BT 4.0 - Support HDR & DRM
	Highlights: - Amlogic S912 Octa Core 64bit ARM Cortex-A53 - ARM Mali-T820MP3 - 1GBDDR3; FLASH: 8GB. - HDR: HDR10, HLG HDR Video Processing.
	Features: - Amlogic S912 64 bit Octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU - Mali-T820MP3 GPU - SDRAM: 3GB DDR3 - FLASH: 16GB EMMC Flash - LAN Ethernet: 10M/100M RGMII - Built-in 2.4G / 5G WiFi, Support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac - Bluetooth 4.1+HS

The question is: are all the same with just different shells ?

Wich would you choose for best LibreELEC compatibility ?

Thanks in advice to anyone that will help.

Thanks and sorry for the delay in reply.

An attempt to port was started c.2012 but appears to have fizzled out.

Can you please point me to the port-attempt ?

Thanks again.

Hi everyone,

I just "discovered" that this device (based on STi7105 chipset, such as Infomir MAG250) uses STLinux and full-sources are available here: Vodafone TV

Dunno if someone is interested in porting LE to it, anyway it would be an occasion for ST-based devices.

Here's some other resources I found:

1. ST7105 @ Qt Wiki
2. STi7108 Compilation discussion @ XBMC.org
3. OpenAR-P @ GitHub

Hope that inspires !
