if you update, stick to 64-bit build. For new installs I recommend 32-bit build as it's less hungry on memory and more addons are compatible.

IMHO 32bit should be recommended version, no sense using 64bit system on devices with small ammount of ram.

In my case on Videostrong M9 4k (1Gib) in 64bit userland kodi uses ~250MB of ram on start, on 32bit is ~200
50MB is 20% of total ram...

tkanks kszaq Good work.

kszaq you make my world better.
Cheap chinise box OTT M9 4k (videostrong is an vendor) works like charm.
Remote , poweron/off/sleep/wakeup! ,wifi , bt, ethernet works out of the box.
Passtrough to HDMI works, change refresh to match material one works.
it works 1000 times better than original firmware.
Awsome work man!

• S905: Download a device tree for your box from device_trees, rename it to dtb.img and copy it to main folder of SD card/USB drive - replace the one that's already there.
  

Which one dtb i should use if there is no dtb file for my device in that folder? i posted my dtb file as requested LibreELEC
(Videostrong/Venz M9 4K)

Unless you have a WeTek Hub the only way to boot without adding a boot entry would be to use toothpick method every time you boot and of course a proper autoscript. You may also need to know that changes to env can be reverted any time to default values by executing defenv; saveenv over serial console or in autoscript.

hm,
ok
then i will dump entire env partition before installation on SD, so in case if i will decide to roll back i will able to do so.

Thanks man.
Excelent work.
dtb file of my device ripped from original android i posted on dedicated thread as you asked

is there a possibility to modify autoscript_aml to do not modify env partition on NAND and just boot to libreelec?
i just wish to experiment with LE on sd, but as i see it adds boot entry to bootloader config.

Quote from kszaq

Following recent Amlogic kernel update, "old" device trees won't work with the latest kernel. It means that your device won't boot with updated kernel. Since there are minor differences in device trees between devices, it's not possible to support all devices with single device tree.

That's why I need to ask you to post device tree for your box.
